(Ch eerw repeated.] Why these hard times and this prestsuret In tuy judgtnent, ii is attriuiutable to bad, nwiise aa d c:orru pt Legisla tion. I hecy are at ti butable to three acts of the Ameri can Congress. First, there was an act repealing the a0 ti pay the b .nded inudebtedaness of t his cotner mn 'egnd tender mro ey, and that it snould be in gold and silver. Thiat act accomplished this: it mrade gold imore valuable. The question was, how shall we increase 'lie p~urchas-~ o~g power ol gold? it w as in the hands of the few, in lie hantds (of the moneyed men of the Northa, and the Legislation of thie coiuntry was miade to tenld to the tret-linig and qiadroap ling of the ptrchasinag pow~er of gold. What means did uhey use0 to acc. mn plih thib? Ia the List phice tiey' said there must be one standardl of Vtaluv and all other standards mnst be dest royed; and to do tIis. in 1873 they demonetized silver. Congress enactejl that it was not money and not a legal tender for dues, public or private, and the silver of the country actually took to itself wings and flew awav to China, Japan and other silver 0si1g ccuntries. , This was contraction, for it lel ed to ip. crease the purchIising power of gold. And as it wats incrensed the 'value (f hinds, and labor and products in this coiuntry went down pari passu. And to make a fur:her increaee in the purcha.itg p wer of gold, the green back currency was decided too plent tiful. It wits de"ermnined to retire it until they broight it down in volume to an eq'.ivalency to the volume of gold, and they literally burned it up at ILie rate of a milhoif) and a half per month until they bi ought it down fr om $48 per capi ta t, lees than -$10 p'er capita; and just as that was done the pu chaing power of' gold was increased and in the same proportion the value of lands and agricultural and mechan ical produes and the pr-bductions which go to male men rich and 'happy by labor, went down in Gcor gia. The result is that bankruptcy is upon 1he ie'pleC of Georgia and the Ipe. ple throughout this land.
