the matters in which the Alliance fs
interostod, an(1 also asking his "a'i
proval and endorsemont" of the or

follows:
ATLANTA, Ga., May, 33, 1890.--Ir.
H U. Brown, Editor of the Southerin
A.llianco Farmer-My Dear Sir: Rep
resenting as you do, so large and
-honorable a body of our best citiz;"ns
your right cannot be (tuestiolCd, to
my opinion of the great mlovenIIWI.
to which you refor.in your letter 01
y'terday,
My answer will be given with, en
tire frankness, although the exacting
nature of my duties absolutely for"
bids any elaborato dicussiont.
I appreciate m11ost seiisibly your
kind allusions to myself "as a friend
of the toiling millions who are 1but
socking justice." This testi1ionied
from one in yuur position will justify
the statemuent, 1 trust, that as a life
member of the State Agriculturtl
Society fromt early mantho :loid and iden
tified in cvry posSible w..y with the
farming imterests of the ('olliltry, may
highest concern in public and privae
life hau natturally been to protect
01(1 prollote the gre:u gri(uultural
industry of our country; nIot only a(s
the leading. primalanld priucipal call
ing of (lir p):?ople; 1)ut the on1e 1 lost
cssential to Southller1 and nationtl
ir)iOSperity and yet lealst fLvor(ld by t le
OVel'mlue11ut 01 pr'otecte(1 by its O\wn1
- votaries. iHeice for fif'teen ye is or
mllore, I. i:tvC laborid in coielntions,
on the pblic rostrtiln and in' private
station to induco the farmtler; of the
country to organiZe. For liftetit
y.cars or r01e I laVe urged. I close,
( compact 111in--afn atll-emu1blacinlg ag
ricultural l)rotllerlhood, (leflsive in
its character ntd only aggressive in
protecting that industry from un
friendly legistation, inijlst exacti ois
and hurtful (liscrliilmations.
In view of thcso efforts to- seciure
organization during so many years
of my past life, it is searctly neeCs
sary for me to say that I -hailed t),o
adveit of the Farmers' Allirulo its
the possible, filial realiziiou of a
long cherished hope, nor n8. it ntecs
sary with Ply past recordLobforo you
to my4hat I endorso witl.ut, reserve
and withl unaba)ted emrphasis theo
policy of the Allinco. foriln inorom o
of the circulating .medli of t he
country. As to the best. mldiumnli of
obtaining that inrcrase, I. frankly ad
mit, I ami not fully prepari'Z to ad
vise; but I repeat what I said -in ln -
othor place, more than twelv.. ycais
ago, that I do not believo a more dlis
mal chapter, nor one more inonisist
ent with real statomanship, nor more
incompatible with the true interest s
of its citizens, hIts over been written
in any country whore the balloL was
freo than that which records the mu
tion of this government in the foiced
and rapid contraction of the cu rc ie cy.
In the teeth of overwhelhimig evi
donco of tile countr'y's- growthI and
pr'ospo.rity and oni the grou ii dless as
sortibn and bald assumuptioni that all
the boundless prlospority ini the coun1i
try at the time was the morest sham,
Congress proceeded to rush thriough
one mieasiuro of contraction after ani
other untiliit had checked enterprise,
qjuadr'upled the difficulty of paying
- debts, blasted the hiopes anid par'alyz/
ed the industr'ies of the peopile anud
r'educed all these inispirinig pro spets
and productive energies to on1e vast
uncr'al p)ile.
UInsatisfied with these dismial r'e
suits, the conltractioni eormior'ants
gave tile scroew another' turn'i in thu
d (emonitizationl of silver' and cr'amiped
and cr'ushed the toilers of the soil
h'and toilers for' bread1 until the black
ruins fr'om thieir' mad policy wer'e 5sen
on every hiand ini shaitter'ed for'tunies,
, opular d isn.iay and( deadly uiniverisal
liIight.
~' I regret that I cannot ill thisi l(t
ter discuss8 the reaisonis, or' 'at.lher ex
~: cuse, offered for this needCllss and(
cruel policy. What ought to be s'aid
of the folly and madness thaut would
pq..jforco in this !ounJtiir -policy' which
e vbrywhero, in all counitries and1( (con
ditions, is rooekig with the indiscri
inate murider' of every interest that
makos a country rich and great. [
shall hope at an earliy (lay more fully
'to anh.lyzo this subject, and discuss
tbe other problems to which you al
Sde in your very courteous lotter.
du are aware, however, that myi)
