People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 March 1894 — The Farmer on Top. [ARTICLE]

The Farmer on Top.

If the farmers will turn deaf ears to the cry of the demagogue, stick to their homes and land, retrenching expenses and aiming to cultivate smaller tracts of land in a more intense fashion, they will keep “on top,” however the finances of the cities and banks and markets go. Political parties may go to “smash” and be transformed into the strangest shapes, but the man who is on the Georgia farmer’s “platform” (the “corners” of which uphold his house, his barn, his meathouse, his woodpile, teams, etc.) cannot be hurt, lie and his have food and raiment, and can be “therewith content,” owing nobody anything except love.
