No. 4' Price One Dollar a Year LIVINGSTON JN ELLAYILLE. Last Thursday was a big day for the farmers of Schley. They turned out in full force, whether Alliancemen or not. to hear what Livingston had to say for their benefit. Many were accompanied by their wives and children. Col. Livingston arrived liy carriage from Pres on, accompanied by Mr. Cope land, of the Southern Alliance Farmer, and Mr. Claude Bennett, of the Atlanta, Journal. The crowd, being too large for the c urt house, gathered, by permission, in the Methodist church where the Colo nel held them in wrapt attention lor about an hour and a half. He said that the motives of himself and of the Alliance had been mis-repre sented by some who did it purposely and others who did it through ignorance, and went on to assure his hearers, among whom were nearly all the business m l professional men of Schley county, that while the farmers just now are consider ing their own interests, strictly, they are not regardless of the welfare of oth ers and mean to do the square thing all around. Said he: “l am astonished that there are still some men who sneer at our or der and our purposes. The sooner you stop this sort of thing the more respect able you will be and the better oil you will become. Judge us by our fruits, and we calmly await your verdict. “The farmers are getting in a better condition and there is not a State nc rth of Mason and Dixon's line more prosper ous than Georgia. Diversified agricul ture is good, but it does not pay debts. Profits are what we aie after. If we are going to loose money it were better to loose on one crop than on twenty-seven. The farmers have done more thinking in the past twelve months than in the twelve.yearn previous. “The people are doing these things; and the common sense mill in the far mer's head generally turns out pretty good grist of reason. “The Alliance teaches that the man who will not work ought not to eat. A proper distribution of wealth is a neces sity to the country. All governments fall when their wealth gets into the hands of a very few men. If you love your county; if you prize the liberty dear to every true man’s heart, stand by Alliance.” Refering to the tendency of the far mers in the past to look upon their local merchants as the source of their evils, he that they were mistaken, and very truthfully stated that the evil comes from National legislation, which places not only the farmers, hut all small dealers, proifessional men and everybody else, at the mercy of moneyed monopo lies. Said he: “The farmers’ opposi tion to the merchant has for most part been on a false basis. Bnt the farmers’ excuse is that they are in a bad fix, gor ed on every side, and like blind rattle snakes in August, striking at everything that comes near. Seeing the advantage that the merchant has had, the farmer is lucky to be living at all. Thank God, the awakening has come! For in ten more years we would have been as per fect serfs as ever pressed Ireland’s soil.” “The perpetuation of war measures is what has ground down the agricultural classes until the farmers sons are quit ting the farms arid seeking employment elsewnere. In answer to a friend from Illinois congratulating him upon the close of the war, President "Lincoln wrote: “Yes, we can all congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is drawing to a close, it has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. The best blood of the flower of American youth has been freely offered upon our country’s altar that the nation might live. It has in deed been a trying hour lor the Republic, but I soe in the near future a criof- aris ing which unerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my conntry. “As a result of the war. corporations have been enthroned, ami an era of cor ruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will en deavor to prolong its reign by working upon the drejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hand* and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this time more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before—even in (Coutiuucd on eighth pagoJ
