2 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. llucklen's Arnica Salve, The best salvo in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Erup tions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay required.
