a- nllcmcn of the Contention: It is a
11 established fact in political ctlilcs
Xi the nature and form of government*
d.inpn'i largely upon the laws that regu-
ni!c ownership, descent and trans
mission of property. The governments of
fl i^t in the old world were based upon
he Widal system, and their political in
i' unions were determined by the laws of
properly under it, the grand characteristic
,,f which was “tliat political rights de
pended on landed rights, and fAot land
concentrated in the hands of the few.
Such a government was necesaaiily ex
clusive and despotic, lor it attributed to
the proprietors of the soil jicarly ail those
ri.i/is which constitute sovereignty, unit-
itr' the possessors of fiefs into a society or
p,vernme.it of their own, with ful con-
iro! of legislative, judicial and military
institutions, thereby imposing heavy ob-
li-ations upon the vassals (in our parlance,
tenants), which deprived them ot pensonal
independence and individual sovereignty.
Historians tell us that in no time in the
world’s history have the masses been so
thoroughly enslaved and so inhumanly
treated as during the existence offetula.
covernments, “where every lord judged,
taxed and commanded the class next be
low him, and whore abject slavery formed
me lowest and irresponsible tyranny the
Inchest grade” of governmental lurisdtc-
tion. Much was partially the social sys
tem of Englaud until Uenry II.,
to his legal and constitutional
reforms, put an end to it3 evils.
..yet," sa\s an English writer, “though
the spirit of feudalism has gone out of
the social and political system, the skele
ton is left, for ownership in land, in the
full sense of the phrase, ts unknown to the
laws of England. There is there no such
thing as absolute property in land; a man
only lias an estate or interest in it, for
every land-holder is, in tbe eye ol tlic
law, a tenant only.” A legitimate result
of the sistem is witnessed to-day in the
melancholy condition of unfortunate Irc-
laiut, where destitution reigns and revolu
tion threatens the dissolution oi the social
an 1 political elements. Such a system of
laws could not exist in a government like
«.ms, tor it is incompatible with its forma
tion and nature, for ours is a government
of the people, where property “is all free
hold," and where laws for its alienation
ami transmission are established and en
couraged. The result of such laws, says
an eminent American statesman, ID. Wcb-
ster, las been “a great sub-division of the
soil am! a great equality of conditions,
the true basis, most certainly of a popular
government.” This general diffusion and
extraordinary facility of acquiring proper
ty-coupled with the fact that there is nc
hereditary rank or property to check the
progress of any oue seeking power or dis-
tiucion, popularizes not only the govern-
m nt, but excites a spirit of activity aud
cuterprize to which governments differ
ently constituted are strangers. Nothing,
says an English historian, “is more re
markable in America than tbe universal
activity aud industry, which prevail in all
classes of society. That the Anglo-Saxon
race in Europe is laborious, perse
vering and energetic, need not
be told to any one who witnesses
the colossal fabric ol' British greatness
ortlie vast impression which England has
made in every quarter of the globe. But
enterprising as it is, in Great Britain it is
not influenced by such a restless spirit of
aciiv i'y, such a perpetual fever of exer
tion as appears among its descendants in
the new world.”—[Alison.]
i “A universal spirit (he continues) of
industry and enterprise to which nothing
comparable lias ever been witnessed by
unkind.”
The general diffusion and the facility of
ac.piiring property, the inviting avenues
to wealth, position aud honor, which
stretchout before all classes ami all grades
of society are the grand elements that ex
cite this “fever of exertion” and create
this “restless spirit of activity.” Wealth
and position are the elements of power
and general influence aud are sought with
commendable eagerness—concentrating
in the efforts to obtain them all llie cncr-
>ies, aspirations and ambition of the An
glo-Saxon nature. Freedom of thought, of
action, of property, of position are the
foundation stones upon which rest,not only
our jiolilical structure, but our social in
stitutions and material industries. A gen
eral diffusion of properly—a freehold in
terest in the soil—linking, binding the
owner to the land and the homestead, are
favorable elements in the construction of
our t icial organization and active agen
cies in shaping and developing the spirit,
industry aud intelligence or our people.
But these are not the sole agencies that
arouse the energies and develop the char-
acteis of tiie citizens of our free country.
The opinions of grealiuen infuse elements
of activity and liie into the social organi
zation, or, jhtr contra, scatter broadcast
over the land the seed of despondency
aud death. The “burning eloquence of
Lit,” tbe “exalted patriotism of Cliat-
“*'11," the “great soul of Burke,” tbe
“‘Corruptible integrity ofFiatiklin, the ex
emplary virtue of Washington, the dem-
°vra‘ic spirit of Jefferson, exerted perhaps,
“o greater inlluenee over the opinions,
hahrs and characters of Englishmen and
Anu-.-iraus, than did the seitisli ambition
oi Kobcjpierro, the damning infidelity
®f Voltaire and the teachings ol the
I roucli apostles of freedom over the pas-
sions, character and civilization of the
1 reach.

isbing Us propuctiveness, and robbing it
of its earnings. The census report tells ut
of the continued prosperity of our coun
try, of its accummulating wealth, of its
increased productiveness, of its develop
ment in manufactures, of its growth in
commerce, in population, in educational
facilitiesandreligious advantages; if such
be true, may I not ask, feelingly inquire,
has Georgia no place in the bright pict
ure? Has she no page in this history of
progress, and are her people alone laying
no solid foundation in present prosperity
for future growth and greatness? These
aro significant questions which must be
answered calmly, dispassionately, by every
intelligent mind, for every citizen in her
borders is deeply interested in tbo truth
of the reply. The ago in which we live
is full of the evidences of tho progress of
society. We sec capital increasing, the arts
improving, industries enlarging and
multiplying, and relying upon
the prudence and energy of
our people, I am inclined to think,
though I speak with diffidence and ad
vance the opinion modestly, that though
wo Lave had our grievances, misfortunes
and calamities, “some produced by our
own improvidence, some by tbe errors of
our rulers”—as a people wo are growing,
slowly growing, in prosperity and genera
intelligence. Now and then, from extra
neous causes^thcre has been a seeming
retrogression, but the general tendency
lias been toward advancement, or as Ma-
cauloy has beautifully written: “A sin
gle breaker may have receded, but the
tide is evidently coming in.” In 1873 the
oracles were consulted, and we were then,
as now, informed by men high in position
in tbs State that we were gro wing poorer
year after year, and a gloomy picture was
f reaeuted to our convention in Athens,
n tbe February meeting in 1674, it was
my lot by appointment from your then
worthy President, to reply to these prog
nostications of evil, which I did to the
best of my ability that Georgia was
slowlv working out tbo great, drobleiu of
material advancement. A short recapitu
lation of some of the points therein mado
will be necessary here, for I propose to
take up the thread of the argument where
I left it, and follow it to the present time.
Iu our war, compared to which other wars
seem iusignifirant, wo lost slave property
valued at $300,604,855, and our land,
which was valued in 1800 at $101,704,955
deceased in value 50 per cent. Nearly all
our stock of all kinds were taken from us
or had been lost in the strife. So poor
was our condition that for some years, out
of sympathy tor onr poverty, we were de
nied a page in tbe agricultural reports
of the government, for our
entire property in 1800 was valued
only at $140,457,400. In 186S we appear
in the governmental reports with ati esti
mated property of $191,235,520. Follow
the current from this point, witness its
changes, its ebbs and flows, and see if wo
cannot account for some of them without
disparaging our people. Our whole prop
erty was iu
1809.... $201,481,700 I 1870.... $220,829,709

1873... 2j9.3S3.323 11874.... 273,193,293
an increase since 1806 of $128,035,892.
Much of this increase, I admit, was ficti
tious, for it was based upon speculative
values, when gold commanded a large
premium aud gambling in stocks of every
nature characterized the business of the
country. But as this inflation was un
natural, because based upon fictitious val
ues, it was doomed to a sudden collapse,
aud in seeking again its legitimate current
it swept;away_lhe imaginary fortunes it
had created. 'Then followed years of dis
aster and ruin. Individual enterprise
had been swallowed up by corporate cor
morants, and these monster corporations,
whose exactions had paralyzed trade,
destroyed industries, depreciated values,
suspended business, were shaken to their
foundations. It lias been estimated
that the $1,500,000,000 of railroad stock
shrank 25 per cent, in value. Coal com
panies, iron manufacturing associations
were forced into liquidation, and wide
spread bankmptcy darkened tbe hopes
•ndprosp-ots of tho country. For yea:s
Lliis shrinkage cominuedjand.was increased
by an unwise withdrawal of $1,000,000,-
000 of currency from the commerce of the
country, thereby adding to the general
and baneful depression. The shock was
felt all over the country, for it touched
every Industiy and business avocation
oftbe people. It was a serioos blow at
the life of the labor of the country, and
should awaken in the minds of reflecting
men grave apprehensions for the future,
as to tbe power of combined capital to
destroy the labor and industries of a na
tion. This spirit of combination is pro
gressive and alarming. Exacting in its
demands, it is satisfied only with the
pound of flesh; heartless in nature, it
lauglis at misfortune and tampera with
want; greedy ot gain, it satisfies its appe
tite with tho earnings of toil and the
sweat of the poor; exultant in its power,
it regulates values, sports with tbe ju
diciary, shapes legislation, and in the very
wantonness of power lauglis at a country’s
necessities and builds its thrones upon the
debris of a country's piosp**ritv.
On a former occasion I endeavored to
show you how your industry could be
elevated or depressed at pleasure by
these combinations, and I am more than
satisfied that labor demands tlie fostering
care of the government every hour to savo
it from the aggressions of power and tho
combination of heartless capital. Marvel
not, then, that after the crisis above
alluded to, the wealtli of the country was
seriously diminished. At your Americus
convention I endeavored to show you tho
result not only in Georgia, but elsewhere,
in tbe depreciation of property. It was in
Pennsylvania, in one year, 1876..$77,000,000
Ohio, in one year, 1876 14,000,000
Tennessee, in one year, 1876.... 30,000,000
Massachusetts, in one year, 1876 70,943,146
and the decrease throughout the Union
was estimated at 33 per cent. These
depreciations continued in tbe
common succession of cause and
effect until an equilibrium was
reached. Silver was remonetized, the
volume of the currency increased to meet
tbe demands of trade, gold was reduced
to a well regulated currency value, and
tho pendulum which had moved irregu
larly, under the influence of extraordinary
forces, vibrated with its accustomed regu
larity as these forces were removed and the
energies and Industries of the people were
allowed development and growth. Fol
lowing the common current occasioned by
the crisis of 1873 and 1875, Georgia fell
off in her aggregate wealth as follows:
From 1874, her highest figure sluce the
war— $273,093,292, to the following:
1875.... $261,753,884 11876.... $215,853,750
1877.... §235,650,53011878.... $226,221,718
1879.... $225,093,419 | 1880.... $238,934,126
—the last, under better auspices, showing
an Increase. Now let us see exactly
how we stand at present. This
estimate of 1880 is upon a gold basis, for
gold commanded no premium. In 1874,
when our property was estimated at
$273,093,292, (which was its currency
value), gold commanded a premium of
12J per cent. Reduce now this $273,093,-
292 to the gold basis, and our whole prop
erty iu 1875 would have been $238,956,630,
or but $12,504 more than was its goto
value in 1380. Soil is with our real estate;
for while in 1875, we had 35,271,451 acres
improved land, valued at $97,517,654, in
1880 we had 87,37*,807 acres improved
land valued at *88,420,519. Two millions
acres more in 1880, yet $9,009,000 less in
value, but if brought to a gold basis, the
value of land in 1860 will exceed tliat of
(as has been shown), no actual deprecia
tion in value in real estate,
there lias also been no reduction in val
ue of products per acre, as the statistics
show—to wit: The average value of prin
cipal crops per acre was, in
1876. 1877. ' 1878. 1879.
$7.09 $8.18 $9.84 $10.35
showing a steady increase in productive
value. And just here—for the benefit of
those restless spirits who are down with a
fever of Western emigration—I will com
pare tho productive value per acre in
Georgia with some of those old and new
States of whose productiveness we hear
such glowing accounts. In 1878 the pro
ductive value per acre (tbe worth of an
acre’s yield) in Georgia was $9.34; Vir
ginia, SS.82; Alabama, $9; Tennessee,
$9 30; Kentucky, $10.45; Ohio, $12; In
diana, $0.85; Illinois, $9.68; Wisconsin,
$9.77; Minnesota, $7.76. A favorable ex
hibit of the old State, equaling tliat of tire
productive aud more costly lands of the
West. But as a further proof that the
productive value of the State has not de
creased, I give you the aggregate value of
her pnucipal crops for a series of years:
In
Cotton. New York.
1876.. $47,708,925 1870 25%
1877.. 44,332,000 1871 25
1878.. 47,496,031 1875 17
1879.. 48,513,5GG 1877 18#
1878 13
If, then, the productiveness of her soil
lias not diminished (aud her yearly crops
evidence this fact), and the average pro
ductive value per acre has not decreased,
I think I am justified in saying tliat m real
estate, as an clement oi wealth, Georgia is
as well off now as in 1875. A concise
enumeration of her other species of prop
erty, which constitute her aggregated
wealth, will reveal the same fortunate
state of affairs.
We had, in the years enumerated, the
following species of properly and their
values. In 1860, live stock in Georgia
(those enumerated in the table) was
valued at $38,372,734:

We see from these figures the fluctua
tions in value; for in 1876, while we had
only 118^00 horses, valued at $72.54 per
head—aggregating $9,389.471—in 1SS0 wo
had 900 more, vanled at $67.60 per bead—
$8,057,920. And so with every other spe
cies of property iu tho classification.
While they have increased largely in
numbers they have decreased in values as
tlic currency of the q$untry approximated
nearer and nearer a gold basis. And yet
these are increased elements of wealth.
If we examine plantation and mechanical
tools we will find we have lost nothing in
values:
In 1876 $2,504,273
In 1877 2,943,124
In 1878 2,858,338
In 1879 2^71,872
In 1880 3,206,286
But I must abbreviate so as not to wea
ry’ your patience, barely noticing the fluc
tuations in value of other sxiecies of prop
erty:

Reducing, now, the values of 187o to
the gold basis of 1SS0, and you will dis
cover but a small difference—too small to
enter into an estimate of the wealth of a
people. Let us now briefly examine our

reached 70,572 bales, showing Georgia to
be the eighth State in the Union in manu-
ufacluring, as she is the second in the pro
duction of the great staple upon which
this nidustry feeds. I wish 1 could im
press upon the minds oftbe peoplo of
Georgia the absolute necessity of foster
ing this very important branch of her va
ried industries. Here are our
streams ready to unite their
songs with the hum of
machinery; here are our fields whitening
with the staple at the very doors of the
factory; here we have a climate admira
bly adapted to the labor of the operative.
Every essential to success, to prosperity
and wealth, is within our reach, and we
have only to avail ourselves of nature’s
gifts to become a great manufacturing
State, consuming the products of our
fields, and giving labor and support to
thousands who will congregate here to
earn a subsistence. In this connection,
aud looking to its bearing upon our fu
ture, I would urgo upon the farmers of
Georgia tho importance of interesting
themselves in the cotton exposition to be
held in Atlanta in the fall, lor if success
ful it will inaugurate a new era in the in
dustries of Georgia; will develop rich fields
for the investment of capital; will ac
quaint the manufacturer with our abun
dant resources and our advantages for
the cheap manufacture of the raw mate
rial, aud infuse new hope and renewed
energy in that great industry of ours
which now, more than at any former pe
riod In our history, is engaging the atten
tion of capitalists in every section of the
Union. We are on the veite of a new
era in Georgia. A new liie is about to be
Infused into our energies and our indus
