few weeks ago J. A. Hill, corres-
ponding secretary of Oak Grove
Lodge ”2, Farmers’ Alliance, near
this city, wrote to ex-Presldent
Cleveland endowing a copy of the
declaration of the purposes of the
Alliance, and asking for Mr. Cleve
land’s views tbereou.
THE DECLARATION OF PURPOSES.
The following are the declaration
of purposes, and Mr. Cleveland’s
reply:
Profoundly impressed that we,
the Farmers’ Alliance, united by
strong and faithful ties of linanciai
and home interests, should set forth
our declaration of purposes, we
therefore
Resolve to strive to secure the es
tablishment of right and justice to
ourselves and our posterity; to la
bor for tlie education of the agricul
tural classes in tho science of eco
nomical government in a strictly
non-partieau spirit; to e-dorse the
motto: “In things essential, unity;
In ail thiugH charity;” to secure
tho purity of the elective franchise,
and to induce all voters to intelli
gently exercise for the enactment
and execution of laws which will
express the most advanced public
sentiments upon ail questions In
volving the interests of laborers
and farmers; to develop a better
state mentally, morally, socially
and financially; to constantly strive
to stcurn entire harmony and good
will nmougnll mankind,and broth
erly love among ourselves; to sup
press personal, local, sectional and
natural prejudices, all unhealthful
and all selfish ambition; to assuage
the suflferings of brother and sister,
bury the dead, care for the widows
and educate the orphans; -to exer
cise charity toward offenders; to
construe the words and purposes in
their most favorable light, granting
honesty of purpose and good inten
tions to others, and to protect the
principles of tho Alliance unto
death.
MR. CLEVELAND’S REPLY.
Mr. Cleveland’s reply was:
March 21, 1890.—J. A. Hill, Cor
responding Secretary—Dear Sir: I
have received your letter, accompa
nied by a copy of tho declaration of
principles of the Farmers Alliance.
I see nothing in tills declaration
that cannot be fully endorsed by
any man who loves his country;
who believes that the object of our
government should be the freedom,
prosperity and happiness of nil our
people; and who believes that jus
tice and fairness to ail arc necessa
ry conditions to its useful adminis
tration.
It lias always seemed to me that
tlie farmers of the country were
especially interested in the equita
ble adjustment of our tariff 1 system.
The indifference they have shown
to that question, and tlie ease with
which they havo been led away
from a sober consideration of their
needs and their rights, as related to
this subject, have excited my sur
prise.
.Struggle as they might, cur
farmers must continue to be the
purchasers and consumers of tlie
numberless tilings enhanced in cost
by tariff regulations. Surely they
have a right to say that this cost
shall not be increased for the pur
pose of collecting unnecessary
revenue, or to give undue odvanta-
Together With other Illch Mineral
hepo.lu.
Suwanee, Ga., May 8.-Mineral
property iu the northern part of
this county Is Just now attracting
the attention of Northern and West
ern parties. Without doubt some
of tlie finest mines of gold and sil
ver iu the world are in Gwinnett
county. It only needs capital and
men of mining experience to prove
this proposition.
HOW MINING WAS CARRIED ON.
From 1830 to 1850 mining was car
ried ou to some extent. All tlie
streams flowing into the Chatta
hoochee were worked for the free
gold deposited on their slnte beds.
They would ail pay to work again,
showing that the gold conies from
the disintegrated rucks from the
adjoining watersheds. 8ome veins
were also worked, notably the Har
ris, Bullock aud Chambers mines.
In most of these veins the gold is
free from sulphides, others early
sulphur, particularly below water
level. These mines have all lain
Idle since 1819, when the miners
were allured to California by the
fabulous tales of wealth to he made
there.
Some years ago J. A. Boru, J. T.
Baxter aud H. Garmany purchased
the Harris mine as an investment
They have several times sold on-
tions on the property, but the pur
chasers failed to take the property,
being unable to raise the necessary
funds, hut having an unshaken
faith in their property they have at
each subsequent sale doubled the
price of the former. Recently Mr,
James West, of real estate fame of
Fort Payne, Alabama, and a friend
from Vermont, came to look at it
They had heard much of it before
they came. After making tests of
the ore, which showed up so well,
they decided to take the mine at
$40,000 for themselves aud asso
ciates.

I The plea that our infant iudus-
j tries need protection, which thus
1 impoverishes Die farmers ami con
sumer, is, in view of our natural
advantages and skill, and the inge
nuity of our people, n hollow pre
text.
Struggle as they may, ourfarmers
cannot escape the condition which
fix the price of what they produce
and sell, according to tlie rates
which prevail in foreign markets,
Hooded witii the competition of
countries enjoying a freer exchange
ilf trude than we.
The plausible presentation of tho
blessings of a homo market should
not deceive our depressed aud im
poverished agriculturists. There is
no homo market for them which
docs not take its instructions from
tlie seaboard, and tho seaboard
transmits tlie word of foreign
markets.
Because my conviction that there
should ho a modl(lcat!on|of our tar!<1
laws arose principally from an ap
preciation of the wants of the vast
army of consumers, comprising our
farmers, our artisans and our work
ingmen, and because their condi
tions lias led me to protest against
the present imposition, I am especi
ally glad to see these associations
of fellow-countrymen, arousing
themselves to the importance of
tariff reform. •
Yours, very truly,
Gbovek Cleveland.

THE ASSAYS MADE,
They carried samples, drawn from
the vein at different depths, from
five to forty-live feet, which they
had assayed by a practical assayer.
His sworn affidavit to his report
shows that the ore gradually in
creases in richness as the depth In
creases. The assays show from
$20 to $150 per ton. Tile
samples were drawu by a man
who had never seen the mine
before, and not knowing the char
acter of ttie ore, he drew at venture,
measuring the depth and width of
the vein at tho place from which
each sainplo was drawn, showing
that special samples were not drawn
for fancy assay. The writer is of
the opinion that any one can repeat
the operation with similar results
any day. The results were so far
beyond what Mr. West expected
that lie returned aud has taken op
tions on uil tlie adjoining property
at what would have been thought a
few days ago as very fancy prices.
He also lias taken options on all the
propety at and near tlie town of
Suwanee that lie can get. He has
got real estate oil tlie boom. Tlie
general understanding is that ho
is forming a syndicate of
men engaged iu tlie boom at Fort
Payne, and Northern capitalists
whose object it Is to develop tlie
Harris mines nml mines ou tlie ad
joining property, and repeat at Su-
wnnee what lias beo’i done at Fort
Payne.
AT LEAST FIFTY GOLD VEINS.
When it is understood that there
are at least fifty gold veins on the
properly lie ami his associates con
trol, many of which may prove bet
ter than those opened oil the Harris
mine, one may well understand I
why they have such “booming”
ideas. When it is also understood
Hint most of this ore iseasily milled,
costing with modern machinery
only twenty-five to fifty cents per
ton to work, one can see why they
see “millions in it.” Take those
old sulphuret veins abandoned by
Bullock & Folger, of New York, In
ISIS. They roasted the ore ami
hauled it seven miles to a slump
mill, and tlie operation paid a
profit. What would such ores pay
with modern machinery?
THE WORK OF NATURE.
Nature lias done morofor us than
we had any reason to hope; she has
established batiks of the precious
metals; her geological tellers will
honor all drafts properly presented;
nml the only deposits that need he
made are labor and perseverance.
My son, twelve years of age, has
been afflicted with scrofula for
eight years. His hip joint protrud
ed through the skin, and he could
not walk except ou crutches, and
ho was also nearly blind. I had
him under the care of the best doc-
tois without avail, and had giyen
him up to die, when I was urged
to try Bull’s Sarsaparilla. Ho has
used eight bottles, and already his
eyesight is restored and his limb
much better. His appetite is now
good, he looks well and Is quite
cheerful. I think with a few more
bottles be will be completely re
stored.—James Lee, Nashville,
