M. I ) . Irwln , chairman of the state
committee of the people's parly in
Georgia , Issued a manifesto in thr.t
Btato In which ho compared the recent
scones in Georgia to what occurred lu
Franco at the time of the revolution.
The following paragraphs are culled
from the document :
A stutii orotmos.
Georgia is in a state of chaos. The
ficones enacted in Georgia during the
month of Soptombcr nro only > " i : ! .i
of revolutionary PJio uefore llio crisis
cnnio. The "howling down" process is
the forerunner of the "counting out"
'process. Vehement rage prevails wher
ever people's parly Hpcnltors obtain a
hearing. Where they have orators of
fine ability , the mob is encouraged to
howl down the orator and crouto gen
eral confusfon. In country places bet
tor order is maintained , but in cities
there is disgraceful conduct and most
unfair behavior as a rule. General
Weaver's treatment in Georgia is a dis
grace to the stale and Iho nation. Gen
eral Weaver was maltreatdd bcoauso
ho was a union aoldior and oboycd
the commando of his superior officer in
authority. Tills conduct is not only
disgraceful nnd revolutionary , but it Is
dangerous. It will bring Us inevitable
result. Next winter when drunken
hoodlums and foul-mouthed Cleveland-
Itcs have eaten and drunk up the money
that has boon paid them to disgrace
themselves and the state , thia disorderly
conduct and these attacks on a federal
general in time of peace will doubtless
bccomo matters of federal investigation.
If Georgia had a governor worth a
cent , the disgraceful antics of the
drunken mob at Mnoon and at Albany
vyoula have boon promptly robukcd ,
oven if it had taken the military to do
it
But when rotten eggs were collected
in the capital of Georgia to bo ready for
General Weaver and his wife , nnd
Governor Northen look possession of
thu meeting to make n Not-then demon
stration , after General Weaver declined
to expose his noble wife to the filth and
Blench of the state capltol , this execu
tive is necessarily hold' responsible for
the suppression of free speccn in the
capltol of Georgia.
The times are ominous. They re-
eomblo the days that preceded the civil
war. There will be bloodshed and death
unless there is a change.
Turn-Coat Democrats.
The rotten egg that was hurled at the
wife of General Weaver in Macon is
like UKJ cannon shot that was hoard
around the world it will bo hoard from
in more places than Is now oxpeclod. It
will not down. It was an insult to the
intelligence of Gcortrla. It was also an
insult to the farmers who were taxed to
build the capitol that their candidales
"wore shut out in Atlanta , because of
Governor Northon's antipathy to General
oral Weaver's ' followers in Georgia. It
isan insult to the laboring and procluc
ing classes , that no man can bo given a
quiet and respectful hearing unless _ ho
oolongs to Governor Northon's political
party ; for it is a well known fact that
gangs of yelling hoodlums arc trans
ported from speaklntr place to sneaking
place to howl down the people's party
Hpoakors and to cheer the Clovolandiles.
On ordinary occasions this can bo
tolerated , but when the cupilol o
Georgia is lurned over to Governor
Northon's friends , and the friends of the
people's party arc rollon-egged Ihen
lias come ihe lime lo assert llio rights o
freemen and put a fairer man in Governor
ornor Northen's place.
The people's parly raised Govornoi
Northen from obscurity and gave bin
prominence. Nino-tenths of the alliance
in Georgia are members of the people' :
party. William J. Northon advocutet
the subtreusury , government ownershi ] :
of railroads , as well as all thu ten1
els of Ihe people's party. II
would never have risen above his nut
nral mediocrity unless ho had buen ni
alliance man and taken the obligatio
that alliance men take. IIu was ulccloi
two years ago as an alliance man ani
not ns a democrat , Livingston ran a
nn alliance man opposed to Stewart as
democrat. It was alliance doctrine n
opposed to democracy that these alii
unco men , each and severally , adopted.
Not until Governor Northen was taken
up into Ihe mountain did he betray tlio
alliance that made him and supported
hjm. A man that would thus betray a
constituency to whom ho was bound by
ties that no honorable man would reck
lessly break IB unworthy of trust. Ho
will betray any other party when oppor
tunity IB olTcicd.
. \tnitlinr Traitor ,
William .f Northon lolls the people
to "strike down their wives , strike down
their ohihUon , strlue down their homos ,
but nevei-'blrlko down the grand old
democratic party. " Ton thousand al
liance men In Iho state of Georgia can
bear witness that two yours ago ho was
equally anxious to strike down any
party thatwas , striking down tbo wives ,
striking down Iho children and striking
down the homos of Goorgla farmers.
Leonidus Livingston is the man who ,
ono year ago , was the chosen companion
of General Weaver , Congrofuman Jerry
Simpson and Mrs. Loaao. He is the
man who brought thorn to Goorgla
who encouraged them to come to
Georgia as exponents of the puoplo's
party. Ho told General Weaver ho
would support him as the candidate for
the presidency on that issue. Ho did
inoro than any living man to Induce tlio
revolt In Georgia against the demo
crat to par'.y. ' No man denounced the
intolerance , the injustice , the unfair
ness of democratic molhod * more
violently. As president of the fa
alliance , ho became the head am ? it
of the revolt. LQHS than a year ago itQ |
was denouncing Grover C'loveland as
unworthy of the Bupinn-t of the farmers
of Georgia , Yet this man has boon
turned into a rabid zealot for Cleveland.
d.ia
To denounce the fiirmoru of Georgia
* who now oppose him is his meat anil
drink. He has. line Northon , b comu
tlio representative of the bulldo/lng i
egg-throwing , howling , unfair and un
just democrats , who aim to prevent the
people's party from getting a decent
' ( louring on the hustings. This change
means more than appears on the aur-
fuco.
fuco.To sum up the dangers that threaten
the people of Goorgla at the approachIng -
Ing Btuto election , there is one fuel
clourlv apparent , that those traitors tc
the alliance are not to bo trusted longer
in llio prominent , positions tboy are now
holding1.
Govuruor Northen has shown mniBell
iuiaicul to labor , for u e did not waltu
bo requested or entreated by the gov
ernor to send ammunition lo shoot down
Iho frco minors in Tennessee , but ho
forwarded 00,000 rounds of ammunition
upon a more hint from n subordinate
olllcer in the governor's ofllco. Ilo i-on-
gratulated the slnto of Goorgla in a
public Interview that ho could move a
small army with inoro fncilily limn
either Tennessee , Now York , Pennsyl
vania or Idaho to suppress labor trou
bles.
bles.Bo
Bo it now remembered that Governor
Norlhon Is considered abroad as the
promoter of the attacks on General
Weaver at Waycross , Albany , Colum
bus and Macon" , ns well as In Atlanta.
Ono word from him , ono proposition to
suppress those rioters , ono small
olTort to promote gooa government in
either of those cities would have put
a stop to the disorder. lie knows that
those men were not robukcd oy any of
his public spcukct-8 or ilomoeratlo news
papers , nnd the whole state was allvo
with democratic spoutorsand heelers on
the liiisllngs and in Iho crowds. Those
indignities were open , brazen and
malicious , and endorsed by that party.
It xvas a pander to Iho worst elements
of the state.

General Sherman dovastilod Georgia
from Iho mountains lo tlio sea , gave
orders to burn Atlanta , and his In-
humanlly has boon the text of rabid
Georgia speakers for twenty-six years.
Yet General Sliornnn was hospitably
received at Atlanta , nnd apologies were
made for Ihu Inhumanities of civil war
nl Iho banquet irlvon to General Sher
man , where everything was condoned ,
forgiven and wiped out by prominent
democrats.
General Weaver , a clean man in pub
lic and private , who only obeyed orders
when commandant of the military post
at Pulaski , Tcnu. , a quarter of a century
ago , is now arraigned in Georgia and
rottoa-egged out of the stale because ho
opposes Grover Cleveland for Iho presi
dency and threatens to carry a largo
fanner vote in the slate. Tills persecu
tion of a union olllcor for acls alleged lo
have been committed as a general in the
army indicates surely the insurrection
ary spirit of Iho democratic party when
ever they are opposed in a political canv
paign. One prominent candidate for congress -
gross denounces General Weaver as''that
wrolch" because of his sayings against
tbo bourbon democracy of tbo south and
his alleged acts as a union ollico- . Gen
eral Weaver wont into the federal army
to fight as a bravo soldier against the
south while Grover Cleveland fought
the south as fiercely through a hired
Hessian substitute. Men ot Georgia ,
which man is more worthy of respect ?
When General Weaver came to Geor
gia he was the courteous gentleman to
all visitors and to ladies. When hornet
southern ladies in Washington ho was
over tlio courteous host and perfect gen
tleman.
Compare this conduct with Grover
Cleveland's wkon ho was invited lo
Richmond , Va. , to moot the elilo of the
city and muko the acquaintance of the
southern ladies who wore over loyal to
rofinemcrit as well as to Iho confederacy.
To please his masters in Wall street ,
Grover Cleveland a president elected
by a solid south coolly declined to
allow the ladies of his family to appear
in Richmond , lost they might meet Miss
Winnie Davis , the daughter oftho , con
federacy.
fauch is the difference between the
candidates. Men of Georgia ! Remem
ber you are being led into mistakes by
these corrupt politicians.
Drlvliif ; Capital from thn Statu.
Men of Georgia , when you go to the
ballot box on the 5th day of October and
the first Tuesday in November , do not
forget that this political madness is
driving capital from your state , that it
is dcblroying the confidence of oulsidors
in your abilily to maico good laws or on-
lorcc Ihom afterwards. Do not forgot
that Georgia will stand disgraced as a
lawless and ungovernable race of neoplo
unless yon i-oto down such promoters of
dissension and discord. Always remem
ber lhat you will bo judged by your
votes and not by the blatanl boasls of
Cleveland's followers. Vote down the
insurrectionists ! Sbow to fair-minded
northern and western men , that Georgia
welcomes all good citi/.ons to her borders ,
by rebuking these unwise and disorder ! }
politicians , and removing thnm from
olllcial positions. Wo are llrod of war ;
wo want poaco. Wo must r.o longer be
dominated by madmen in the state cap
ltol or bo represented by tricksters in
Washington.

FIBER INDUSTRIES VS FREE TRADE

nor , Indeed , cvor cin : exist in this coun
try.
try.Hut
Hut hnnpily the facts do not \viirrtuit
any such a conclusion. Tlitit u well-do-
fined and successful llax and hotnp in
dustry did at ono time llourish In this
country ( and mainly in the western
elates of this union ) a brief rocttrronco
to the history of that porloil will
lice to establish beyond any ques
tion of doubt. Looking back
to the year 18W ( wo find that loss than
onu-sixtocnth of the cotton crop of this
country was covered with American
llax bagging , IJuttlurlng that voiu- and
thn your following nearly ono hundred
llux llbor mills were built in Ohio , Indi
ana , Illinois , Wisconsin and Iowa , and
so rapid was the increased demand for
llax hugging that the year 18(57 ( found 85
per cent of the cotton crop of this coun
try covered with llax bugging. Moro
mills wore bul't ' , all of which wore taxed
to their fullest capacity tojiunply the
demand , nnd largo amount ! * of spinning
machinery wore Imported from Great
Llritnin and placed mainly In western
factories. The cotton crop of 1870
was the largest over grown in
this country , amounting Jtq some
thing over o,00,000 ( bales. And
it , was found that the mills in this
country were not able to supply the en
tire demand for cotton b.iggiug and a
considerable amount of jute bagging
was imported that year to supply the
dolieioncy. Seeing their opportunity a
number of foreign manufiu'turors came
to this country and established jute
mills in the vicinity of Now York. The
winter of 1871-1872 wo liud them lobby
ing congress for a bill to admit jute and
jute butts free of duly , boinir joined by
other Interested eastern manufacturers.
Tills olTort culminated in tbo winter of
' 72-7U in the passage by congress of a
bill admitting jute free of duly. This
proved the dciith blow to the llax bnir-
ging industry in the west , and in loss
than three years nearly all of the
llax mills in "the west , numbering then
some 200 or more , closed down and huvo
never boon revived since.
day boon willing to attempt to compete
with the natives of India who wore the
producers of this jute and wore being
paid from 5 to 7 emits per day for their
labor , perhaps sonic of us then engaged
in American manufacturing from the
product of American farms u iglit have
survived.
Few people are aware of the value of
our II ix libor interests , to say nothing
of American hemp. The United States
is second only among the nations of the
earth in the growth of llax , Kussiit being
first. Russia with an annual growth of
orn olhing nour : i,000.0JO ( acres of llax
derives an income yoarly.of about $ U- ! )
000,000 , while this country with
nn annual growth of about one-half the
number of acres sown by Russia only re
ceives about $0.000,000 from her llax
crop , both seed and libor , Russia's fiber
crop being worth "six times more to her
than her seed product , while our seed
product is 08 per cent of the value of the
entire crop ,
During the past fifteen years it is safe
to say that the value of the lluxt fiber or
struw that has been destroyed or burned
in live of tbo great states of thp west ,
will not fall short of $120,000,000 , a
spectacle of prodigal waste unparalleled
in the history of any " other nation on the
fuco of the globe. From 18SO to 1890 ,
there were iinuortod into this country ,
textile fabrics and goods amount
ing to $505,000,000 , 85'por cent
of which this country was capable of
producing and manufacturing. But the
American disciples of the Cobden club
of England ( bolter known , perhaps , in
this country as democrats ) will tell the
good people that if wo had free trade
these goods would not have cost us as
much a statement that cannot bo veri
fied by facts.
Another branch of this fiber industry
that has boon lied more about , garbled
and misconstrued in the hands of the
democratic howlers for free trade on the
stump , for the purpose of catching the
farmer vote , is the binding twine ques
tion and the hair-splitting theories and
propositions advanced by the congress
man from the First district of
Nebraska in his advocacy in
congress of his bill for free
binder twine shows plainly that the go n
llomun was as ignorant of the history
and the status of this trade ns a Pine
Itidgo Indian might bo supposed to bo.
There is used in this country annually
about 00,000 tons of binder twine , ! ) ( ) pot-
cent of which ( previous to 1800) ) was
made from foreign fibers , and thoio is
not a possible doubt but what binder
Iwino made from American llax and
American hem ) ) equals both in tensile
strength and quality that made from the
now frco trade foreign libers , and would
today ( but for the frco trade in sisal ,
manllla and jute libers ) bo the loading
binding twine of this country and bo
sold to the purchasers who use it , and
would also DO the product of the raw ma
terial at a price not to exceed at any
limo 10 cents per pound.
The reason for tills is obvious. The
National f.'ordugo company owns and
controls twenty-nine out of the thirty-
six now existing binder twine factories
in this covntry ( of any considerable out
put ) , and also controls the greater bulk
of the imported fibers thatonler into the
manufacture of binder twine. What is
to hinder them from controlling the
prices of bindnr twine ? Mr. Bryan says
the now existing tarill of 7-10 cent per
pound on this article Is a tax , of [
70 cents per acre on your farm , Mr.
Farmer , and ho would remove that by
giving you free binder twino. Lot us
son whether the facts warrant this asser
tion.
tion.Wo
Wo lufve never imported hinder twine
to any extent except fiom Canada mid
the National Cordage company owns and
controls twelve out of n. possible bixtcon
of all the cordugo mills in that country.
Well then , Mr. Bryan may say , wo
will bring it from England or Ireland
. or Scotland. Perhaps Mr. Bryan
iloebti't Icnow that the tax of bov'on-
tenths of u cent n pound , thrown off
thaso Ofniras would not bo any induce
inont for them to venture jnto this mar
ket when they know Unit Yankee In
vention hna made it possible for the
American manufacturer of binder twine
to pay 100 to 150 per cent bigger wages
to lib employes tbnn the foreign manu
facturer , and then bo ublo to uhut him
out.
out.Tho
The only possible remedy for the ex
tortion now existing on this arljclu lies
in the fostering of the American llax
and hemp llbor industry in this coun
try , nnd the testimony of ono of our
largest implement manufacturers in
thib rountry In of vuluo on this point.
Inn letter to the Agricultural depart-
moiu at Washington In .March , 18SS , in
nnswor to a letter of inquiry sent to him ,
the head of this house tmya : "It Is our
delibarato opinion based upon an experience -
perienco running over a purlQd'oPlon
years , during which time we have sold
thouHp.nds of tons of American hemp
hinder twine , that therq jp no bettor
11 bo known for this purpose. It pos
sesses all tlio nnoossary U'lisllo strength
and i * ciipublo of being spun as many
foot to Iho pound as any of the foreign
fibers. And knowing 'the fact that this
fiber can oo grown successfully in any
quantity in ail the northwestern states ,
qW
wo are of tbo opinion that every pound
qO binder twine used in this country
might and should bo made from Ameri
can ; grown libers. "

OF IXIMEST TO TUB FAHMEK
A good deal of cheap wit is often dls
played by speaking of morlgnges as a
farm crop , the oasowllh which Iho crop
can bo grown , olc. Whether a mort
gage should bo considered derogatory tea
a farm depends wholly upon Iho purpose
for which il is incurred. To purchabo a
farm and give a mortgage for some un
paid portion of the purchase money is
wholly honorable and budlnossli kc. If
this were not , do no many young farmers
would never bo able to make a start
for tliomsolvos. To mortgage a farm
for llio purpose of pulling on substantial
improvoraonls , auoh us good barns , un
dordraimvgo , etc. , which will help it to
have u larger earning power , is also
quite right , Out mortgages incurred
for the purpose of mooting current ex
pense noon a farm that is not self-sup
porting is the greatest folly in the world.
Cut down expanses until they are
within the income , or it is only n
question of time when mortgages will
absorb the farm.
There should ba no waste ground
upon any farm. When there is such it
depreciates the whole profit , that the
farm can earn , because there is some
expanse in the way of interest aijd
taxes for "which no returns are made.
As a genera ! thing this can bo remedied
mid the so-called waste places made
at least , sell supporting. It may require
a. little outlay to accomplish this some
expenditure in the way of clearing or
draining1 , or perhaps manuring , in or
der to got a crop started. Then the
waste place may servti for a pasture lot ,
or if too small for this some fruit or
other trees may bo planted. At least
have it occupied in some way , and it can
hardly- full to earn some money.
From many portions of the country-
come reports thatTKnglish qpnrrows have
been loss numorouSJthnn in former sea
sons. This is no doubt duo to lha bounty , ,
placed upon them.5 , 1'his has given , art/ /
incentive to hunt them , and where thitj
is done persistently they soon leave for
more congenial quarters , but it would
bo bolter if they pjiyld bo exterminated ,
rather than driven from ono place to
'anothor ' , & > -
A liberal use of bedding increases not
only the quantity1"of manure , but also
improves its quality.'as the liquids are
more thoroughly absorbed and retained
than they cin : po jbly bo when aniusuf-
liciont amount is used.
No individual c/m nt all control the
price of farm products. We must all in
this bo subject to the general trend of
the market , but the cost of production is
somewhat within our control , and this
influences the margin of prolit , if it docs
not tlio selling price. Wo do not care
BO much about the price if the profit is
all right. The surest way to increase
the prolit is to reduce the coat of pro
duction. This can always bo done by
so enriching our land and improving
our methods of cultivation that larger
oi-ops may bo grown upon a given area.
The more bushels an acre the loss the
cost a bushel , 'ind sometimes it requires
but a Very small increase to change the
margin from loss to prolit.
After the wheat is well up , and when
the ground la dry. run over it with a
light harr'ow. Thia will have the same
olTcct that cultivation does upon the
orop stimulate its growth. Do not bo
worried if you pull out a few plants ,
for the chances are that tlioy stand
too thickly for the best growth , and
if they can bo made to utool out by
such cultivation there will bo an added
reason why they should not stand o
thick. 13y cultivating , and so produc
ing larger atools , not only may more
wheat bo grown an IIJTO. but larger
crop1 } may bo had from loss seed. liar-
row once us soon as the wheat shows
well above the ground , again as late us
possible before the ground froo/.os , and
a third time in spring as soon as the soil
has become sulllciontly dry and Bottled.
Straw from the becond crop of clover ,
which has boon threshed for good , is not
of much value for foodim. , but it should
always be hauled to the barn and turned
into manure by using as bedding , rather
than loft to rot down in the Hold ,
l.lvn Hliic'k.
Dry , clean bedding is a necessity i
you would keep the stock comfortable
and healthy through the winter. For
this purpose a good supply of strnv
should always bo under cover. I
tacked outsldo there will frequently betimes

When ono has the proper facilities for
conducting Ihc business , winter dairying
may be made much more profilablo than
suinmor dairying. It must bo kept In
mind , however , that it does not pay any
better to turn out a poor product then
than at any other season , but uood
bultor will sell in winter at a price so
much higher than In summer that it
will much more than balance tbo
di ( Terence in the cost of feed
and caro. Good feeding will bo re
quired in order to produce line butler of
good color and free from streaks. It
must 1 bo carefully handled , and will sell

Some of our exchanges are saying Hint
it is all wrong to urge inoro farmers to
turn their attention toward datring as
wo are already MitTering from an oversupply -
supply of dairy products. This is sheer
nonsense. Possibly in some markets
there is a loportcd glut of butter , but
let a shipment that is striclly "gilt-
edge" go in and it would at once find
ready buyers at high prices. Wo have
never I known , in this country , a time
nor a market where there WIIH an over-
btipply of really good butler. It farmers
purpose lo engage in dairying merely lo
add'to the stock of poor suilT with which
wo nro already deluged then they had
bettor stay out , but with our present
knowledge of advanced dairy methods
there is no excuse for ono beginning
upon this basis. It may bo difficult to
jjot oul of old ruU when ono has been in
Ihom a long time , but thcro is no excuse
for going in Ihom in broad daylight.

When fowls are shut up iu the winter
they often want for some things which
tire essential to their wollboing , and
which can bo supplied with a little
labor and forethought. The dust bath
is necessary to keep them free from ver
min , and this should bo prepared now
while the ground is dry. Road dust is
excellent , tor this purpose , and a
sufficient amount can easily bo gath
ered up and put away in barrels
to last until the ground be
comes dry in the spring. Keep
an open box filled with it all the limn in
jtho ben " Jiouso. If you neglect to pro-
L'uro"tlio"ilust'in time wood ashes maybe
used as a substitute. A supply of lime
is also necessary and the basl way lo
provide" Ibis is to give pounded oyster
shells. Bones pounded line , so as to
have no _ long splinters , may also bo
used , or fine gravel which contains
limeslono. Attention to these little
things is what makes poultrv pay in
winter. Add to these comfortable
quarters , good food nnd perfect o'oanli-
ncss ana your win tor's income from tlio
fowls should bo very satisfactory.

Iowa is growing rapidly as a fruit pro
ducing state and t.V.t ? amount of money
derived from the fruit production in
that stale is simply enormous. The
quality of fruit is also excellent. At
tlio St. Louis exposition this week
apples from Mills county , which is situ
ated just across the river , took six first
pri'/.os over the apples from all pirts of
this country. This fact will point to the
feasibility of trying oxtotit-ivo fruit
growing in this slate , the eastern part
of which contains soil and climate alto
gether similar to that of western Jowa.
