PAGE TEN ZETTERJ T'ROTI THL PLOPLL HONEST DEMOCRACY. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: The article on page 9 of your Jeffersonian of November 14th contains an article on the money ques tion which fills the bill. You go to the Democratic National Convention jand get that doctrine adopted, and endorsed, and we can carry the coun try, with you or Bryan, or Folk, or Tom Johnson, or Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, and, what is of more importance than any man s interest, that system of money would be worth more to the country than all the wai*s since the Revolutionary War. The present system is the most dis honest and expensive ever invented to rob the people and enrich the ene mies of the people. It is astonishing that the Americans are so ig norant as to submit to it so long. You say it is Jarnagin’s letter. I supposed it was editorial. Anyhow that is what ninety-nine out of a hun dred would endorse if adopted. J. D. PORTER. IS ON TO PAUL LINDSAY. Roberta, Ga., Nov. 7, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Mr. Watson: Enclosed please find chock to renew my subscription to the Weekly Jeffersonian. I admire the way in which you net tled President Lindsay. I am one of the many carriers in Georgia who did not go to the Atlanta convention that would have gone if you had been one of the spea! rs. For a long time I have though* tlmi e was something rot ten up the branch, is why I have not t: ken more interest in the Rural Car riers’ Organization. It is right fun ny to me how he wanted to accuse you of wanting to bring politics into the R. L. C. A., -when it was so plain to me that he had been used as a cat’s paw by certain unscrupulous politicians. Believing that the time is coming when credit will be given to whom credit is due, I remain, Yours always for the right, R. FAIN HICKS. Cumming, Ga.. Nov. 4, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: I. want you, if it is con sistent with your feelings, to give the law makers of last legislature and the governor of Georgia some of your adjectives and pure criticism of that gang who passed, or revised our pen sion laws. It will cause a great hard ship on most of us old peg-legs and indigent soldiers—myself and Brother Jesse N. Clement had made arrange ments to use our money —and 1 know’ that four-fifths of the old soldiers in Forsyth county are in the same situa tion. I know one old man, Mr. Goss, who rented a small farm and promised to pay 400 pounds of lint cotton for it, and his old wife got sick, and it will take all they will make to pay their rent. Brother Clement’s wife has been an invalid for 35 years and he is as in dustrious a man as is in our county, works every day on his peg leg. WATSON'S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. I fear I will not do justice on this subject, so would be glad to see some of your hallelujah licks on the injus tice of such a change in this law. If you think proper to publish my letter, you have the privilege of cor recting it. You can put it in fewer words and make it more impressive than I can. I have not been able to get any more subscribers for your Jefferson ians in some time. I wish they were read by every person in the United States. I would be glad to travel for you, but I am almost to old. I will do everything in my power for you and the great cause you are working for. Believe me, my heart in with you. What I can do, I will. Yours truly, R. E. GUTHRIE. P. S. —What will become of the appropriation set apart for our pen sions? MR. BODENHAMER PROPOSES A SENSIBLE PLATFORM. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: I rejoice at your fight on the national banking system. There lie all our troubles. Being the son of an old greenbacker who fought for and supported Peter Cooper for president in 1876, I am consecrated to greenbacks, the only scientific cur rency of our nation. I believe if the Populists will get together and frame a platform with the following planks, we can make a great fight: 1. Direct legislation. 2. Election of United States sena tors by the people. 3. Government ownership of rail roads. 4. Postal savings banks. 5. Parcels post. 6. Issuance of money by the gov ernment, not national banks. In my humble judgment this plat form would be enough. Yours truly, J. E. BODENHAMER. Atlanta, Ga. SHORT AND SWEET. Thomson, Ga., Nov. 12, 1907. Mr. T. D. Darlington, Laurens, S. C. My Dear Sir: Your favor received. As there are tw T o Jeffersonians, and as it is highly important to enter you for the right one, at the beginning, please let me know by return mail whether it is the Weekly Jefferson ian or the monthly that you desire. The price of the Weekly is $1; of the monthly, $1.50, or both together, $2. You will gave a good time with either of the Jeffersonians, but you won’t have the best of times unless you take both. It is just the reverse of the truth of the old play where the hero wishes that one of the dear charmers were away so that he could have a good time with the other. Yours truly, THOS. E. WATSON. Let them come. Yours truly, T. D. DARLINGTON. Laurens, S. C. They’re going. T. E. W. FRIEND MINTER IS A GOOD ONE. Jakin, Ga., Nov. 21, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.

My Dear Sir: I think my year’s subscription to your weekly magazine is about up. and I herewith enclose my check for $1 for another year’s subscription. The people of Laurens county are great admirers of you, and I would like very much for you to arrange to come up next spring sometime and address the Farmers’ Union here at Laurens court-house. I know you are a very busy man, but you would never regret the time spent in coming here. You would return to your home gratified with the number of friends you had in this section of the State. Kindest regards to you. I am, Very truly yours, ” T. C. TURNER, Jr. ANOTHER GOOD FRIEND. Stockbridge, Ga., Nov. 18, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.

I remain as ever Your friend and supporter, J. F. JOHNSON. R. F. D. 3. HE UNDERSTANDS IT. Lockesburg, Ark., Nov. 17, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: Your Jeffersonian is fine, and this panic demonstrates your theory on a scientic money. Should this government circulate a scientific currency based on the credit of the nation, as we once had, it would un cover every head in the world, domi nate all-navies, capture commerce on land and sea. All the wealth of the world, together with the brains, would be under the American flag in ten years. * Oh, for a president and congress with wisdom to see and realize it, and manhood enough to enact it into law. A. J. I HOPE SO, TOO. Thomson, Ga., Nov. 21, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson. Ga. Dear Mr. Watson: You will find enclosed a check for $2, for which please renew my subscription to the Weekly Jeffersonian and magazine. I hope to be able to send you in some subscribers in a few days. Wishing you much success, I am, Your most sincere friend, C. W. H. SMITH. Cushing, Okla., Oct. 24, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. My Dear Sir: Seeing that my sub scription to your Weekly Jefferson ian will soon run out, I herewith en close $1 for it to keep her a-coming. I will also send $1 for your maga zine. I have been a subscriber to your New York magazine until Judas C. Q. DeFrance sold you out, then I quit. I blamed DeFrance more than I did Col. Mann. It was DeFrance whom you called from Nebraska and put him in a well-paid office, and your reward followed quick, and therefore I can not stand DeFrance any longer. Mr. Watson, I have been with you even before we belonged to the Farm ers ’ Alliance, and will be with you to the end. I will read your publica tions as long as I live, if I can get the money in time to pay for them. Yours faithfully and sincerely for the cause of the people. JOHN THEIS. R. F. D. 1.
