THE AME1UCUS WEEKLY TMES-RECORDEK: FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1891,
DR. NELMS’ SPEECH.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE FUL
TON COUNTY ALLIANCE
Presents His Views on the Political
Outlook In Unmistakable Language—
The Farmers of the South Should Pro
duce What They Need.
Tho Southern Alliance Farmer thus
refers, editorially, to the speech of Dr.
Nelms:
“While some of the order may not
agree with the entire policy outlined by
Brother Nelms, yet it is a very fine
speech, and Dr. Nelms is one of our
truest alliancemen, belonging to the
headquarters alliance, is vice-president
Fulton county alliance, and stands upon
the Ocala platform with all his avordu-
pois.”
TnE Times-Rkcokder has only space
for the following pithy extracts:
In my remarks to-day, I .propose to
make a new departure, and if any per
sons in my audience should find reason
to differ with me In the positions that I
propose to take, why, be assured that I
shall not be aggrieved. I am never op
posed to any of my people exercising
this inestimable right of citizenship.
The alliance movement is meant to
rectify great evils that exist to-day. I
say to you, with all the seriousness of
friendly candor, that if wo will but
stand together as a people we will suc
ceed. There has been spoken and much
j and economical practice of “living at
| home.”
If we should pursue such economy,
practical, money-saving economy, 50,000
stock-sellers would be out of a job, for
we would raise our own mules; along
list of guano men and middlemen would
lose their occupations, for we would
make our own fertilizers and raise our
own provisions; and last, but by no
means least, we would save a great vol
ume of money that every year goes to
ward fattening railroad magnates. The
.adoption of this plan would place you in
a position to handle a little surplus of
your own. I would rather get my
pocket change from an old sock bid
away under my own roof, than to give it
in order that those other fellows might
grow fat. Do this, and you will have no
need to complain further. You will have
a little treasury of your own creation,
and of easier access. Am I right? If
so, are you guilty or not guilty? Guilty
the record says.
So much for my charge of financial
responsibility. Now, I want to say that
you are to blame politically. If the
farmers of the north and south had re
tained the coutrol of their government,
and they had the power to do it, they
could have defeated the unjust law
that favor tho classes over the masses,
aiul in their stead enacted such legist
tion as guarantees “equal rights to all—
special privileges to none.” The farm
ers of the south did what they could in
this direction, but they were in the mi
nority and had no co-operation from the
m:
JUST PUBLISHED—ENTIRELY NEW.
me NEW WEBSTER
that has been written during the pro-1 farmers of the north and west. Our
gross of this educational campaign I do
not endorse. I do not yield to any, in
side or outside the alliance, in my devo
tion to tho rights of the people, a decla
ration that is thoroughly consistent witli
my past, and, by the help of God, shall
bo in strict accord with my future life.
But, I say to you, that I feel that it is a
duty that I owe to myself; a duty that I
owe to this great movement that holds
my fullest sympathy; a sacred pledge
that I have made to the state that I love,
as well as a privilege that I claim as a
citizen, to declare now, once and for
ever, that I believe the .best and truest
political allegiance is duo to the demo
cratic party. In thus declaring my feal
ty to the democratic party I believe that
I display, in the strongest possible way,
my loyalty to tho allianco organization.
You havo heard much about tho griev
ances of the farmer during the past
few months. Tho many evils growing
out of a long train of unjust legislation
havo boon graphically related through
tho medium of the press and from the
hustings; tho crying need of hotter and
sounder ilnancial laws lias been empha
sized by men of experience and ability,
until the masses, dialing under real and
Imaginary wrongs, havo boon worked
up to the verge of revolution. I fool
with you tho weight of tho oppressive
laws that havo boon put upon us by the
heartless tyranny of tho republican par
ty. I, too, foel tho crushing weight of
tho yoke that these enomies of Ilnancial
reform havo placed upon the necks of
the masses. I realize tho groat Injustice
done tlie whole country by a most infa
mous tariff legislation. But, brethren,
the time has oomo when wo must come
together and reason with each otlior
about this matter.
I charge,without fear of successful ref
utation, that the farmers of Georgia aro
in a great mcasuro responsible to each
other for the condition that they aro In
to-day. What has boon tbo practice of
the farmer since tho war? They have
been* supporting tho railroads of the
country, the grain-growers of tho west,
tho stock raisers of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, a long lino of middle men and
guano men, to the neglect of their own
families. You haven’t intended to do
this, but such lias been tho result of a
ruinous method that has keen university
adopted. Have you been indolent ? No,
a thousand times no! Year after year,
from early morn to dewy eve, you have
tolled. Hour by hour, as tiie great king
of day mounts to his meridian height,
and.on, through cold and heat, until ids
face is hidden beyond tiie western hori
zon, you havo tirelessly labored—to
wbat end ? Merely that a given number
of bales of cotton might crowd the mar
kets of tho world each year. It is my
conviction that this practice of raising
cotton to tho exclusion of all other pro
ducts has done more to cripple the
finances of tho south, and by sympathy
demoralize the Ilnancial condition of our
common country, than any other one
cause that can bo mentioned. Dema
gogues, who seek to work upon your
prejudices, will take issue with me on
this proposition. Honest men, admit
ting the ruinous policy of exclusive pro
duction, will argue that the greatest suf
fering comes from corrupt legislation.
Bat while the latter comes In for its
share of the responsibility, tho laws that
now burden us could never bring ruin
and disaster upon a people and section
that were self-sustaining.
Why, if the farmers of the south
should pursue the method of producing
everything they nccdod, they would, at
one stroke of policy, save $25,000,000 in
freights annually paid tho railroads.
This small amount taken from the
pocket of your adopted son, Jay Gould,
would relieve him of his small change.
Then your smoke-houses and corn-cribs
would be in your own lots instead of the
far west. Your pastures of green would
be alive with cattle and stock of no un
certain pedigree, and this entire section
would be aglow with prosperity Incident
upon the more thoughtful, methodical
public servants have opposed with their
best abilities and most lioroic courage
this arbitrary and oppressive legislation,
and deserve all credit for a faithful per
formance of duty, but they were in the
minority, and opposed by a sectional
compact. Tiie best men that wo have
in our order could havo done no more
than these truo aud tried democrats
Iiavo done. Xo, it is the easiest thing in
this world tp llnd fault, but let us see to
it that we are just.
This is “a government of the people,
by tiie people aud for the people,” and
tho people should control it. The way
to do it is for the farmers to get together
and work to the end that this govern
ment shall rest in the hands of that party
which promises tho most good to tho
greatest number. And, now, that tho
farmers of the north and west are dis
gusted with the flagrant mismanagement
and unpardonable crimes of the republi
can party, It occurss to me that now is
the most seasonable time to maintain
democratic unity in the south, and in-
vite these honest brethren to join, under
whatever name they choose, in our fight
for tho people. I hero extend to them
tiie right hand of fellowship, and pledge
you that I will do what I can to help
them into a party of clean methods and
honest practices
The south can only hope for relief
by staying on board tho old democratic
ship, that has fuinished her protection
all through tlio terrific battles of sec
tional hate.
Our party has had only one victory in
twenty-live years, and tills was a partial
ono. Then, kowevor, Grover Cleveland
showed to tho world what It was to
have an honest governmodt economically
administered, giving to tho country an
administration that will stand as n morn
ument to him and tho great old party lie
represented, long aftor wo havo passed
away. Let us stand by the democratic
party then, my brethren, and not turn
our backs on thousands of frionds in the
south, who aro not members of our order
for tiie reason that we will not admit
them. These luon are our neighbors
and fiicnds, who have, at all times, in
war and In peace, been with us. They
have stood by our side when tho rifle
was needed, and they havo marched with
us shoulder to shoulder in hotly con
tested battles of ballots. Tlioy are truo
and tried. We need them, and they
need 11s. Then let us treat them fairly,
and invite them to aid us in this great
fight for principle. Let us take advant
age of the beautiful resources that God
in His mercy has given us, by dotormin
ing to make ourselves and our country
self-sustaining, and this done, let us
remedy our political evils through our
best and truest friend, the democratic
party, and my word for It, there is noth
ing that can stand in tho way of our in
dependence.

In breeding to improve the poultry
on the farm it is a mistake to sell off
the early hatched and depend upon the
late for fowls to keep; select out tho
best before selling any.
It is too much to have to scratch for
relief also. Hunt's Cure will not help
you in the former case, but will sure
cure the Itch or it costs you nothing. 2
