FARMS AND FARMERS.
WHAT A GEORGIA FARMER SAW
IN OHIO,
Recollections of the Excursion in the
Fall of 'B9—Extracts from the
Journal of Col. W. R. Gorman,
EXTRACT NO. 3.
FAIR GROUNDS, 1
Columbus, O, Sept. (I, 1889. I
The display of agricultural implements
is large and varied. Planters, cultivat
ort and harvesters’ wagons, reapers and
threshers, machines for sowing and drill
ing grain; in fact, machines for every
purpose about the farm, garden and
orchard are here in almost endless pro
fusion. The labor saving feature is the
dominant idea in machinery and it has
been pushed to the last degree by invent
ors here. Some .that I see can be used
profitably by the farmer in Georgia, and
all such deserve a more extended notice
than is proper for rue to give m this por
tion of my journal. The time is coming;
indeed, it is already here, when a labor
saving implement will boa boon to the
farmers of the south, I shall therefore
devote the last one or two numbers of
this series to a description of such imple
ments as are valuable to the people of
our section.
Had a talk today with Col. Tow. (The
reader will remember ho was mentioned
.’■ , -- —Uy.- .' *■,—'- -
man of affairs, of acknowledged ability,
and republican in politics. I asked him
to explain causes for the present condi
tion among the farmers in Ohio and the
northwest. He replied, “It must be re
garded more as a result of the.v.ar than
anything else. When the war ended
farm produce was bringing big price ',
and money was abiind: r.t among the
farmers. con; :uu for a pei' dos •
twelve or fifteen years. These w-. re : ’ .-.si: :
til ics; speculation ran high; the farmers j
went in debt, and extravagance was the
order of the. .'i.-i'.-; !>■; : ide Ims fiirru.
and of all classes the farmer has fared
the worst. If our farmers were as eco
nomical as th. ■ n-.to be the s’luaiioi: !
would hr I u. !;->t -.'-.i-y tir not, a”!;
heiein is I hecause. ci t'.. ■v.h< i. trouble.’’ j
The gentleman evidently had in his mind
the ante-bellum days when the hand
loom and th< o 1- fr ' ioned Ha: spinning
wheels cot Id be found in every farmer’s
home in Ohio. There were but few rail
roads in those days, ami fewer cities; |
the farmer was isolated and had but few
w mis, and these were generally supplied
by hit; farm. But this is all gone, and
gone forever. The world moves; the
farmer and his family are socially upon
another plai c; have more wants and are
governed by ideas quite different from
those of thirty years ago. This is pro-1
gre.is. ami, whether it be good or bad, it I
t, and it is as such, that we must |
look at it.
After this 1 had occasion to discuss i
the matter with other prominent men of ]
the same politics, and found them with '
few exceptions, holding similar views;
I, therefore, could reach but one couclu-1
siou as to the idea among leading repub- '
licans, and that was, that the farmer ]
must work harder, live closer and man-;
age better, and in time he may get out ofl
debt. This seems plausible but it is not j
true. The intelligent farmer, whether
he be democrat or republican, recognizes'
.■ i.i cause, and here it is: The volume :
of currency has been steadily reduced
sine-, specie resumption in 1879. This i
policy has been pursued until the reduo
m has reached a point un parallelled in
the history of the country. Money, by j
reason of it-; scarcity, has largely appro-!
ciated in value, while land, stock and
farm produce of this section has depreci- !
eiared in an exact ratio. True, the pur-;
chasing power of money has been in-i
creased, but that is what’s the matter. It'
takes but little of it to buy all the'
the farmers got. This depreciation of
the value of produce has continued until
it is much baiow cost.of prduction, ami
millions of money is lost annually by the
farmers of these western states by selling
grain for less money than it takes to
make it,
If this condition was general among
’(■her classes ns it is with the fa:.■ -r,
wo might have some reason to
doubt the conclusion; but it is not. AH
who handle money are growing
rich; bankers and brokershave made
money the past ten years at a rate never
before known hero. Why? the scarcity
cf money has given it a value it was
never known to have before. While this
reduction of the currency has been going
on the population has been increasing,
production increasing, and consequently
an increase in. .commerce, but it only
made the matter‘worse. It accelerated
the rate of decrease of the amount in cir
culation per capita, and made it more ap
parent that there was not money enough
in circulation to do the country. But the
intelligent farmer here also recognizes
the fact that auofecr potent factor Ims
had something te do in bringing about
the distress * bi 1 long ti 5 producing ;
classes. The tariff tax bears heavily up- i
on the farmer: f'ev- is nothing ho buy- I
that escapes thi. tax. The cost of living ■
has been largely ie: reused, and j
much of the mo iffy that ha.., b -en made by !
toil and sweat uikl should belong to him ;
who made it hr. en so adroitly filched ■
that lie never kr vws it.. It goes to ad l
to the hundreds of millions now laying]
in government ■ aialt.-, and swell the fori- j
lines of million:.'. ; manufactures. It ;■
claimed that the fa; mar i- protected,
nominally be is but. really he is not.
The price of whsat his be.-t money crop
is determined by the price in Liverpool.
Liverpool and London by force
of position do coiv.trol and regulate the
price o!f some of our leading farm pro
ducts, 'Ab.eat and cotton among the rest,
and t.lu .■ V - „ t>tw:.".d i I.- • ,

the farmar by protecting his wheat; corn
is not protected, and if it was it would
do the farmer no good, wool is, and here
tlie protection comes in. He gets tie,
beneilt. of protection in the s.i’-: of hi.-,

found in legislation#
Reduce the tariff to the revenue point,
hepial the hanking act and let the gov

i pie. An unlimited coinage of silver, an
i increase in the volume of currency up to
i a point that will restore values to a nor

trust and pray that they will win. The I
man who desires to study the republican !
I party should c.oine north to <!o it. It I
shows up here in all its enormity and its !
power of cohesion is simply wonderful.
It is almost strictly a sectional party and
and it seeks to remain so. Its mission
i was accompli- ad when the war ended,
and then it should have passed away.
Still it is here to stay, and distract, and
; oppress the people of all sections.

[ sojourning just now at a Virginia wat-ir
