The finan.cial policy of the govern
mont, the sys'ftem1 established by
national legislation, is chiefly at fault.
In 1860 the farmers owned seventy
per cent. of the property in Georgia,
and the farmers of the United States
owned 68 per cent. of the entire prop
erty of the country.
Today only 28 per cent. of the peo
ple own homes, and in Georgia only
24 per cent. of the property is held
by farmers.
In 1842 Charles Dickens said a
tramp in this country would be as
strange a sight as a flaming sword at
midday in the heavens. In 1868, not
a tramp was to be found in this
country. In 1879 there were 3,000,
000 tramps in the United States.
The towns and cities of Georgia
have grown at the expense of the
L'oultry. In tenl years the property
imk towns and cities has increased
$60,000,000, while in rural districts it
has decreased $50,000,000.
The monetary systemi of this comi
try is the child of the wai between
the States, enacted when the United
States were trembling in the face of
im advancing and injured foe. 'TIhe

amnous contraction Aet. it was not
rigidly enforced, lowver'', toltil 1-l;s.
In 1866 the total circulation was
41,73,379,753, amounting to 852 per

In eleven years there was lost. hy
