MR- NORTHEN’S PLATFORM-
Hon. W. J, Northen has been
prominently mentioned as a candi
date for Governor. In the last issue
of the Southern Alliance Farmer
he publishes the card below, In an
swer to some questions by that
paper:
Editor Southern Alliance
Farmer: For some mouths past
I have been employed by the pro
prietors of the Soutuern Cultivator
to make regular contributions to
the coin runs of that paper.
You have done me the honor to
publish some of these articles, as
copiyu from the Cultivator. In your
last" Issue I noticed that you select
ed from a recent number of the
Cultivator an article by myself,
headed "Hold On,” in which I saw
tit to advise the farmers of the State
to continue the policy, so success
fully followed the past year, in
raising their home supplies.
I note your criticism us follows:
This was advice to farmers—tit
and meet—twenty years ago,” etc.
Without any comment from my
self, further than to say that the
proprietors of the Cultivator occa
sionally send me personal letters
received by them, from different
sections, endorsing and commend
ing my communications. They had
the kindness to send me, by last
mail one, an extract from which
beg you will publish us fallows:
Dki.iii, Ohio, March It, 1890.—Southern
Cultivator Publishing Co., Atlanta, Ga.—
Oentlemen: i have been deeply Interested
an*, very much Impressed with the articles
appearing from time to time, written by
Senator Blair declared that the
defeat of bis bill would destroy the
Republican party. We hope he is
a true prophet.
President Harrison’s Southern
'policy' does not appear to bring
many recruits to the Republican
party, either South or North.
The Atlanta Journal professes to
desire more railroads In Georgia,
•but at tbo same time advocates
measures which are calculated to
ireiard railroad building.
The Cordeleau thinks the coming
•census will give Dooly county two
representatives In the legislature.
Dooly is a big county and is rapidly
iionreaslng in population.
As an evldeuce that justice is
meted to white und black alike in
the South, we note the hanging, on
Wednesday, at Grenada, Miss., of
a white man for the murder of a
negro.
Smithville is to have a furniture
factory, three new brick stores and
the office of the Southwestern di
vision of the Central road. All
Southwest Georgia seems to be on a
boom.
It is said that Gen. Mahone will
receive the appointment of consul-
general to Paris, a position which
pays $1.3,000 per year. The country
can well utford to pay that sum to
be rid of this pestiferous politician.
Any political move which has a
tendency to creute dissension in the
Democratic ranks in Georgia is dan
gerous to the Interests of the white
people. This a point that office-
seekers and the people should care
fully ponder.
The Atlanta prohibitionists, who
never seem to sleep or tire, ore or
ganizing for auother tremendous
tight during the coming summer,
and to this end hove organized an
18110 club, which will be the central
organization of the new campaign.
It is rumored that Judge T. R.
Gibson, of the Augusta Evening
New, will soon take the place of
John Temple Graves on the Rome
Tribune, und that Mr. Graves will
either join the Presbytery or enter
upon tlie duties of managing editor
of the New York Star.
It Is said that Mr. Cleveland has
refused the olfer of an English con
cern to manage their business In
this country at a salary of $.70,000 a
year. Mr. Cleveland is not looking
for a jo b. He has a good payment
business at present, and a prospec
tive engagement for four years, at
$50 0 00 a year, beginning 111 March
1693.
We are not oue of those who view
with alarm the effect of the federal
election bill now before Congress.
The time has passed when one sec
tion of this country can be Injured
without injuringtbe other sections.
There is too much Northern capital
invested In the South to allow such
a bill to be enforced. The investors
cannot afford to allow their proper
ty to be depreciated by ultra parti
san legislation, and any attempt to
enforce such legislation will cause
the political death of the Republi
can party.
\V. .1. Northen, and would like to know
more of the resources of the State, agrlcut
turally, nnd from u successful man, such
T lake Mr. Northen to be, both from the
fuct that his articles are practical and pro
gressive, anil that lie Is frequently quoted
by Northern and Eastern agricultural
papers.
"Will yon bo so kind as toglv
postotliee. 1 desire to know more about
your State from such a man ns Mr.
Northen."
As this wa*s it personal letter, you
will of course, not expect me to
give the name of the writer to the
public, but I will by this mall, re
turn the letter to the Cultivator,
and you can get the name of its au
thor from Mr. George W. Harrison,
only for your own information.
With such indorsement and such
prospects of usefulness to the State,
I feel quite encouraged to continue
the line I have followed
I note yoa further say. “how does
the writer now stand on the great
Issues of this day and time, to-wlt:
Absolute control of railroads and
transportation? Au augmented
currency, with ilexible volume?
Government supremacy over all
vested rights of corporations?” I
answer, "upon the policy outlined
by the National Alliance, with this
qualification: that I do not believe
the government should ever so far
yield Its authority to control rail
roads as to make government own
ership necessary. The State Is su
preme, and it Bhould control all lu-
tererts In righteous justice to every
citizen.”
In order that I may answer more
fully, I am In favor of auy policy
that will adjust the burdeitBof busi
ness and of the government so that
they shall not bear upon auy citi
zen more thau upon another, and I
am absolutely opposed to any policy
that gives one man, ono class, or
oue corporation, rights and privi
leges that infringe unjustly upon
the rightB and privileges or another
man, another class, or auother cor
poration.'
With all deference to your opln
ion, I do not understand that
"economy, diversified farming,
self-BustaluIng agriculture, stock-
raising, Improved methods in pre
paration, cultivation and fertiliza
tion,” are now to be eliminated
from the policy of the alliance, hut
that they will possibly be as help
ful to farmers now as "twenty
years ago.”
As the true theory in any great
and good movement is not found in
appealing to the passions, or pre
judices, or cupidity or fear of the
people, I shall stand upon the
higher aud better policy of general
good, as w-ell as our rights in the
government, that all classes may
hasten to aid In adjusting the gall
ing yoke in their fullest sympathy
and co-operation.
Looking to the success, even now
possible upon the farms and In
business, much of my time In re
cent years has been gtveu in build
ing up the material resources of the
State.
Iu my position before the people,
I shall continue to make this just
as much "au Issue of this day” as
auy you have put In your platform.
W. J. Northen.
The New York Press Bays: “The
history of tariff legislation in this
couutry'during the last quarter of
a century sIiowb that all reductions
of revenue, all revision of rates, all
corrections of Inequalities have
been brought about by the Republi
can party, and not by the Demo
cratic party.” This is a singular
statement, coming from a Republi
can organ. Do the Republican or
gans begin to see that tariff reform
;« going t« win. and are they pre-
j paring to flop?
GEORGIA POLITICS-
The Atlanta Prohibitionists
preparing for a lively red-hot o:
paign early In the summer.
8. B. Storey, J.R.Mlnter nnd
E, Bull have hoeu appointed cen jus
takers for Marion county.
Ex-Gov. James M. Smith
clares that be does not want to
cupy the executive chair again.
Major John Thomas Glenn refus
es to say whether or not he wants
to be Governor.
J. F. Hannah has been appointed
postmaster at Gibson. Mr. Han
nah claims to be a Democrat.
Hon. Seaborn Reese has a strong
following for the State Senate in
the twentieth district of Georgia.
It is rumored, but without certaiji
ty, that Hon. W. M. Howard, Ho
licitor General of the Northern cir
cuit, will be In the field for Con
gress.
A W. J. Northern club is beirg
organized In Hancock county. A
large number of the citizens have
already given in their names for
membership.
Capt. R. R. Asbttry, of White
county, is being boomed iu the
mountain countries as the Alliance
candidate for Congress from the
ninth district.
Hon. L. F. Livingston will ad
dress the people of Sumter county
at Americus, Thusday, March 27,
upon the sub-treasury plan and
other questions of importance.
Gov. Gordon believes that
breaches of the peace would occur
under the Lodge election hill, but
that the South will offer no organ
ized resistance. He thinks the
measures mischievous ami unfor
tunate one.
Hon. J. J. Kimsey, of White
county, who has been mentioned in
connection with the Congressional
race, slates that he will not be a
candidate for that place, but would
ike to be Judge for the Northeast

The Central Traffic Association
has decided that where Southern
roads ascertain the weight of mel
ons or other property; attach to the
way-bills the certificate of sworn
weighers and enter on way-bills
the gross, taro aud net weights, and
also make notation "weighers”
certificate attached, such property
shall be accepted and passed with
out re-weighlng by Central Traffic
Association lines. This is a de
cision of much importance to melon
growers. The Central Association,
though not the only oqe into whose
territory these shipments go from
the South, is by far the most Impor
tant—comprising forty trunk lines
—counting the Western New York
and Pennsylvania railroads as one
systorn. Of the five or six traffic
associations to whom letters on this
subject were addressed by Commis
sioner Carter of the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association,
the Central is the only one that has
taken favorable action. None of
them have yet adopted the eight
mills per mile per ton rate granted
by the Southern Railway and
StcnniBhlp Association. Col. Car
ter has notified President G. R. Mc
Kee, of the Melon Grower’s Asso
ciation, of the action taken by the
Central Association.

A New York newspaper asked a
number ot public men what, in
their opinion, was the chief cause
of poverty in this country. Edward
Atkinson said ignorance and Inca
pacity; Chauncey M. Depew and
Henry Clews said rum; Dr. William
A. Hammond’s ideas are interest
ing enough to quote entire. He
said: "In my opiulou, tho chief
cause for poverty at the present
time is civilization. Poverty never
exists among utter barbarians. But
with refinement ar.d education,
differentiation begins aud theu pov
erty makes its appearance. At first
it Is physical force that makes One
richer than his neighbor. He takes
what he wants vi et armis, but at
he becomes more refined, he uses
his Intellect to accomplish his ob
jects, and skill, tact, cunning,
knowledge bring him to the front.
As long as men have more brains
aud more muscle than other men,
poverty will exist. To get rid of it
we would have to returu to that
period of the world’s history when
man began to etnergo from a
lower form."

IT CAN’T BE DONE.
It is not at all singular that the
Republican committee in congress
has a difficult time in framing a
new tarifF bill, for no sooner do
they cut down on one item and
raise on another than there are in
dignant protests from the interests
concerned.
The fact is, there can never be a
fair protective tarilF bill made, for
the reason that if one industry is
entitled to protection, ail are, and
in an equal degree. If all are pro
tected equally, as by right they
should be, there is no protection In
the sense which the Republican
party uefines protection.
There can be a fair tariff bill for
revenue, for theu there is simply a
revenue tax levied upon ail imports
tax which makes the foreign
manufacturer pay for the protec
tion which the laws of this country
afford him in disposiugof his goods.
And that is ihe cn]y kind of tariff
which should be levied.
