Sale,
The financial depression which per
vades the entire country at this time
is generally admitted by all who have
given the subject close attention to be
•Imply one ot those financial spasms of
contraction which strlkei the financial
and commercial world at long Intervals,
and, after flattering around for a time
and creating mueh distrust and uneasl
ness, passes away, leaving the financial
skies brighter and olearer than before.
Such has been the view taken of the
financial situation by the best informed
and most reliable mea throughout the
entire country, and particularly ia our
own state. That it would result in any
thing like disaster was never thought of
by anybody, if everything was conduct
ed in the regular way and through the
legally established channels.
But the recent action of some of the
alliance organizations throughout the
state, in advocating a Stay Law, has
changed the hopeful feeling of our peo
ple into one of astonishment and alarm.
Alarm not only as to how such an act
would affect our people individually,
but the credit for ail time to come of
the Empire State of the south. If it
were possible for such a law to be
forced through our legislature, even if
it got no farther, it would be suoh a
dark blot on our good name that the
mention of tho -“State of Georgia”
would be a stench in the nostrils of hon
est men in every land and in every
financial centre.
The following interview, with one of,
our leading business men, expresses the
universal feeling here in Americus, and,
undoubtedly, of every honest man
throughout the entire state, in reference
to the insane proposition of even sug
gesting a Stay Law:
"Well, sir, what do you think of this
action of some alliancemcn and others
in advocating a Stay Law?” Interrogated
Tiie Times-Recordeu man.
“I don’t believe they are serious; the
Idea is too absurd and preposterous I”
was thequick'repiy of the gentleman.
“What makos you think so?"
“Well, In the first place, the supreme
court of thie state baa declared all stay
laws unconstitutional. That ought to
settle.the question onceand forever, os
far as the legality of the monstrous
proposition Is concerned. And In the
second place, what in heaven's name
does any Georgia farmer want of such a
childish and absurd law? Are we citi
zens of Georgia so helpless that we want
to wriggle out ot our just debts. With
all our broad and fertile acres, and the
bone and sinew of the manhood of
Georgia back of them—are we to sneak
behind a law whtoh would be a disgrace
to the citizens of bleak Alaska. No,
sir; I care not what alliancemen, or any
set of men, suggest,that is not the senti
ment of a majority of the citizens of
Georgia."
“But the «xouse for tbii extraordinary
step is, that there Is no money In the
State to pay for cotton, if delivered, or
to pay honest debts. What do you say
to that?”
“That is the very essence of childish
ness. I begin to think that our farmers
are being hypnotized by some myste
rious power. They are noting as If they
had no thinking machinery. No money
to pay for cotton or move itl Well,
when that time arrives in our state,
when we can't raise money to move the
crops, then look for a collapse of every
mercantile interest in the land. It will
be time then to pull the star of the
state of Goorgia out of the galaxy of
stars which proclaims this to bo a gov
ernment of the people and of honest
and you will find the Largest and
most varied stock of shoes ever
offered in Americus and at lower
prices than are obtainable else
where.

“Well, how about the cry of money
being scarce?”
“Oh, of course monoy is scarce for
wildcat speculation, and for other shaky
experiments; but for cotton, and moving
it, there will not bo the slightest troublo
—not the slightest. Every farmer will
got all the money ho needs for cotton
and for all legitimate handling of it. No
farmer was over refused money when lie
needed It.
‘And I want you to say, with empha
sis, that now is tho time for farmers to
bring In their cotton—right now. Get it
in, and got the top prico for it. Me in
Southwestern Georgia, and Southern
and lower Georgia ought to bo the first
in tiie markot, and receive the highest
prico possible. There ought to bo no de
lay, no watting, and no fear of getting
monoy for it. The money part is all right,
and I know it.”
“What will cotton bring, in your opin
ion?”
“Well, that is haul to say.”
"How- about tho farmers who will not
bo able to meet their obligations, even if
they do bring In their cotton?” \
"They will be treated fairly and gen
erously, as they si ways are. \V boever
heard of a farmer being crowded: by any
body if he showed a disposition to tote
fair and pay bis debt* when he could.
No, air; this i* all stuff snd, rubbish
about tho farmer bring pushed to the
wail. No such thing. Every farmer j
the farmer to-day—honesty and common
sense; and not to forget that be is a citi
zen of a noble state which ls'proud of its
fair fame in the past, and reputation
which must be preserved unsullied for
all futnre time.”
“Do you think that such a bill will be
introduced in the legislature ?”
"Well, that is bard to tell; but I do
hope that our representatives will re
member that the fair namo of the state
of Georgia is, for a brief period, ia their
keeping. Let them look to it that that
name Is handed back to the people as
unsullied ss they received it, and not a
by-word for scoffers in every market
place. Let them be faithful to their
trust, and all will be well. But, should
repudiation dominate a majority of those
dressed in a little brief authority now in
our legislative halls, there will come a
flood which shall sweep the last vestige
of the name of the last man who would
dare to so disgrace us. Bntof this I have
no fear. Wbat is to be dreaded, is the
mere whispering of such an outrageous
proposition. No, no; don’t mention
such an infamous bill as s possibility.
The grand old state of Georgia has been
steeped to the lips in bloody war and
carnage; has suffered pestilence and
famine and poverty; has fought calamity
in every shape,—and can again,—but
never, no, never, will it play the siokly
and puny part of a repudiator of an
honest debt honestly contracted.
“Let certain demagogues prate of the
necessity and advantages of dodging a
debt if they will; but the heart of nearly
every Georgia farmer is above such
allurements, and in the end they will
prove true to themselves and to their
American manhood.
“And above all, the farmer most not
forget that all such devices will certainly
prove a boomerang; and whet he thinks
will be a safety plank for him to cling
to, will, in the end, in the hands of his
ooiored tenant, prove to be the very Im
plement which will 'down' him. Let
passion cool and judgment rule. This is
the only safeguard for the farmer at
this critical juncture; and let him ever
keep in mind that 'we still have judg
ment here; that we but teach bloody in
structions, which, being taught, return
to plague the inventor,’ ’’
