One of the most important industries
of Georgia is her fruit- crop. Our Geor
gia orchards will enable us to put ripe
fruit in New York fully two weeks ahead
of the regular crop that is sent in to sup

for their products. ???The limited ship

this state demonstrate that from $3.50 to
$0.00 per bnsliej forchoice early peaches,

could be more lucrative than peaches???

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
There, too, is the financial question. Tliat
we must meet. We must understand it and
promptly meet it. There is the greenback
party, the republican party and the demo
cratic party. All these must partici{>ate to
some extent iu the settlement of this
question, and whatever the settlement
may be, 1 am disposed to stand by and abide
by the action of the national democratic
party. [Cheers and applause.] At the same
time I am desirous that the democratic
party should act in j??erfect harmony and
with a desire to take care of the
interests of the whole people.. To do this I
think wc should have financial relief and
financial reform. Hard times! You see
them everywhere. There is scarcely
a citizen of Georgia or of the
United States who does not feel
this scarcity of money. We feel the
pressure upon us. Men are toiling as they
never toiled before. Georgians are working
harder than they ever woked before. It is
astonishing, the amount of labor and pro
duction that is manifest among them to-day.
These mercliants, farmers and mechanics
toil every day ami yet, with all their toil
and industry, they cannot meet the dc
mauds that are daily made upon them.
Tliev can scarcely meet the wants of their
families???certainly not the com
forts and luxuries to which
they have been accustomed in past years.
Why this pressure? Why this lopping off
of comforts and luxuries? It is attributa
ble, in my opinion, to bad legislation. I
notice that my distinguished friend.General
Toomli*, in a sjieech here in Atlanta the
other night, said tliat since 1867 thesnn had
never risen and set but it found Geor
gia ;**??r??*r th;Ki she was the day before. It is
true! Men talk of tlie improvement of
buisness, the revival of business, and all
that. Is it in tlie shrinkage of the value of
the taxable property of^e state from year
to year? Do you find it in the
homes of the fanners???in the by-way* and
hedges of the land???among the mechanics
and wealth-creators of the country? No
sir* Ahv>]nf??lv 1
e driven,
% lie party lasli, to
the ballot-box to sustain a choice already
made without their consideration or their
having a voice in the matter. I submit that
this process deliberately transfers the right
of election from the people and gives ittoa
few trading |M>liiicians. 1 submit that this
policy ami this course pursued here in
Georgia deprive the people of that
right of election which * Jefferson
says must lie jealously watched.
Every citizen has the right to form his po
litical opinion without restraint and reach
hi* conclusions honestly and as a patriot,
and when they are reached and his mind
thus made up, he lias a right, fairly and de
liberately as a freeman to go to the liallot-
boxand express them without his motives
being questioned or approbriou* epithets
bring hurled at him. [Applause.] If the
fieople see proper to employ
PRIMARIES OR REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLIES
as initiatory to the ballot-box, they have a
tjght to do so. And when tliey want to ap
peal at once-tothe ballot-box without their
interference they have a right to do so.
In any case we must acknowledge the right
and j??ower of the people, and the duty of
every lover of his country and adherent to
the principles of democracy of the Jeffer
sonian stamp Ls to restiect the right of the
{???eople. Take tlie system as it has been
practiced in Georgia for the j*ast few yean*.
A few men have become the electors for the
state. Qualifications for office and personal
merit are too often passed by. The ouestion
is not whether this man is qualified, honest
ami capable, ami whether he will truly rep
resent the people, but is he a man to profit
us. [Laughter and applause.] I appeal ;o
the people, to the industrial classes, to the-
men who make the wealth of the country,
and ask them whether for the last twelve
years they have not been shoved aside and
made to do the will and bidding of aspiring
men who were seeking office? [Applause
and ???Yes, yea???]
A voice??????Hurrah for Hargrove!???
I would hurrah for Hargrove, too. if I had
used all the means that were used by ??? the
organized??? of the seventh district to get
Zack Hargrove to support me. [Long, con
tinued and repeated applause.]
Let tbe people govern ??? let the people
have the right of election. We need inde
pendent men who will think more of per-
??? ??? American
congress. 1 am for the reduction of exjieii-
ditures and for tlie reduction of taxation.
1 want the revenue reduced, tlie tariflon for
eign goods reduced and thissystemof inter
nal revenue, that taxes our home products,
our tobacco and our spirits and all our nec
essaries. I want it wiped from the statutes.
[Applause.] I want it to disap|>ear. It is
a relic of the war, and where these financial
measures of relief are achieved it tan be
wiped out Notwithstanding our boasts of
the reductions made by the fortv-fo
congress, while a large amount of tlicst
penditures have been reduced, not ....
dollar of this taxation has been reduced.
Wc prate of a reduction in expenditure^
but still the tax-collector is gathering in tin
last dollar of tlie labor of the country. Lcl
these taxes be reduced and let us, as Gcor-
e tns, labor to accomplish these good ends.
t us forget the differences of the jiast,
the asperities of political contest* and re
member that we are all Georgians, tliat we
are brothers and members of one household
of political faith, and that we are called
upon to contribute our mite toward the re
turn of the prosperity of our motherand the
nation. Let sectional prejudices ami differ
ences lie wiped out. Let the prejudices of
the late war lie wi|ied out, and let us remem
ber only that wc are Georgians and' Ameri
cans pleged to the relief, the proeiierity und
advancement of one common country. I
am a Georgian, a Georgian a* ail my fathers
were, ami there is Georgia, her history such
as to make the name a
badge of distinction everywhere.
She has a history that enthrones her in tlie
hearts <??f the good and patriotic everywhere.
Let us stand 4n* her history of |iairioiism,
of detestation of |iolitical trickery and fraud,
let us remember that we are wins of noble
sires. Let us coin together to-night and

pikters of them witches Mr. .Sliakqioaro
writ about, uml she had a whole po-scl of
lace sprcsl out on her lap and on the bed
and the chairs aud the table, aud she salnut-
inc in a very pleasant and funin manner,
1 her tongue was goin like a bell-c!api* r.
and she said she was 65 years old, ami held
up her long, bony fingers ami declared they
had knit every yard of thut lace in Uie bog*
of old Ireland, uml she could knit only 3
inches a day of this kind and half a f????ot of
that kind and a foot of the other kind, and
it was worth in London four dollars, ami
two dollars, ami 50 cents a yard, but she
would sell it to the sweet ladies for half the
money, for they were such nice
lailies and had such gentle man
ners like the court ladies of otild
llcngland, and she had lieeu sell in for
three months every day and had sold
some to this lady and that lady, at this
place and that place, ami she had only this
much left ami wanted to close out ami go
back to dear ould KiHarney aud give the
money to the chillier afore she died.???
Good gracious! How many times my
numerous and lively family did pick up
ami put down those htiiiful fabricks. How
they laid cm on their Sunday dresses ami
talked about how sweet they looked on
blue, and brown, anil fawn color, aud ashes
of roses, ami solfercuo, and magenta, and
other bloody battles of the Crimcen war.
Real thred lace, and so cheap, and knit by
those |*oor old fingcra Weil, 1 didn???t say
nary word; I didn???t looksolcin nor unhappy,
but I couldcut help figgerin a little in iny
head at the number of yards she had about
her, ami the number she had sold, and as
much more in the wagon, and it would hav
took heralsmt 200 years to have knit it all.
Well, they finally settled down on a few
yards about an inch and a quarter wide ami
submitted it to me in a sort of triumphal
way, as .much as to say, what is a little flour
ami coni and fodder compared with tho
like of this. That preshious lace has been
kccrfuUy put away to be looked at only of
Sundays, and there it will remain without
intrust until there is a weddin in tho
family, though l am morallv sertin
it is the same identical thing
1 used to sell at 15 cents a yard some 30
years ago, ami made 200 j*er cent profit at
that 1 dont mention this in any way to
hurt feelins for I aint no man to destroy
{???care by shakin the faith of anybody in
anvthing, especially thred lace.

DE LA MATYR*S PROJECT.
Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Indianapolis, November 16.???Rev. Dr.
De La Matyr, the national congressman-
elect, who has just returned from an eastern
campaign, in an interview published here
to-day? gave it as his opinion that the
nationals will hold the balance of power in
the next congress, and that in that event
they should stand together and wield their
power as a unit, demanding an uncompro
mising greenback man for speaker, and a
Tbe best and most Economical.
Housekeepers arc giving the cheap, adult
erated baking powder a ???wide berth," and
why? Because cxjieriencc has taught them
that an absolute pure, full strength, full
weight article, such as Dooley???s Yeast Pow
der, which never fails to produce light,
wholesome, ami nutritious biscuits, rolls,
muffins, waffles ami griddle cakes of all kinds
is by far the cheai>cst and most economical.
