We have employed one of the finest corres
pondents in Washington to furnish
A Weekly Letter from the Capital.
A
This Paper is now and will ever be a fearless
advocate of the Jeffersonian Theory of Popu
ar Government, and will oppose to the bitter
end the Hamiltonian Doctrines of Class Rule.
Moneyed Aristocracy, National Banks, High
Tariffs, Standing Armies and Formidable Na
ives: -all of which go together as a systefti of
oppressing the People.

We want the Industrial Classes to feel that
this Paper is THEIR FRIEND. It is conduct
ed by men who are intensely interested in the
Reform Movement, and have been battling for
it many years.
The price shows that the Paper is not being
run for money. If the People support it lib
erally it will pay expenses. It cannot do
more.
As long as I am President of the Company,
the Paper will never be found on any other
line of policy than that which I sincerely be
lieve is best for Georgia, best for the South,
and best for the country at large.

Campaign Song.
Nothing enlivens a Campaign like
thrilling music. No music is so grand
as the song which comes from a thou
sand human voices uttering at once
the feeling of a thousand human
.hearts.
The old Southern air of
“the bonnf.i blue flag”
is known to all and loved by all. To
this air Mr. Watson has composed a
Song, which appeared in our last issue,
“ the young wife’s song.”
It crystalizes into a few stanzas a
sketch of Home life on the Farm and
the protest which Industrial Orders
everywhere make against Class and
Privilege.

“BRICK” POMEROY.
HE WILL COME TO GEORGIA BY
AND-BY TO SPEAK FOR THE
PEOPLE’S PARTY.
«
His Generous Contribution to the
Campaign Expenses.
The following letter to Q. C. Post
from M. M. Pomeroy, familiarly
known the country over as “Brick”
Pomeroy, will interest every man in
the south who remembers Pomeroy’s
“Democrat,” or “The LaCross Demo
crat,” of twenty-five years ago, and
we fancy there are many such still
alive:
New York, April 26, 1892.
C. C. Post, Atlanta, Ga. :
Dear Sir and Friend —l am glad
to receive a letter from you. I know
that you were here, there an
where, and as I did not know exactly
where to hit you, I let you alone,
knowing that when you wanted me
you would say so.
The working people of this coun
try are generally becoming poorer
and poorer in pluck and patience
each year, and still the dance of
death goes right along. The only
salvation for this country is in the
People’s Party. No matter what it
is, it gathers into it the best thought
of the country, and the result will
be a great stride ahead in all that
pertains to the welfare of the coun
try.
You asked me to come to Georgia
to speak. Will you bear in mind
that I am not in the political field,
except in the rear ranks. The time
was when a large number of the peo
ple asked me to dash myself to pieces
on the rocks that must be broken be
fore any kind of organization could
be made. I then gave four years of
time and exceeding $30,000 cash to
this pioneer work, and continued
therein, and then with a family grow
ing, and disliking to live and die in a
poor-house, I turned my attention to
■business matters and am succeeding
by intense thought and application to
the one direct purpose in view. In
this work more than 5,000 persons
are now financially engaged, and you
will readily agree that I must not for
sake them and the business lines I am
following, as he who forsakes those
who trust him and rely upon his judg
ment is worse than a pirate.
Still, at the same time, I feel more
deeply than I can speak the impor
tance ot this movement of the peo
ple. Later on, when I shall begin
to bring profit from the twelve years
of investing I have done, I shall have
means to help you and others in the
work you are doing, and no man in
this country will use means when
he his them more cheerfully than.l
will. But first I must dig on into
the mountains and bring therefrom
the stuff which can be used to help
others.
In a short time I must go with a
delegation of nine men, including the
chief of the mining department of
the Thomson-Houston Electric Com
pany, to Colorado, where we decide
as to the matter of water wheels, etc.,
where they are to be located or the
machinery to be connecten there
with, that we may, before the first
of September, have in operation .at
the east end of the tunnel an elec
tric plant that will cost us, total,
about SIOO,OOO, and I must provide
all the machinery for this plant and
all the foundations, buildings and
appliances connected therewith.
The New England parties supply us
with $60,000 per month for fifteen
months, but this money is to be used
only for driving ahead in the moun
tains, as you would drive into a
maple tree, leaving the sap boilers to
provide such appliances as they
might need. I probably shall not be
able to return East before July, and
may not till August, but I will come
into Georgia during the present cam
paign, if I am wanted there, to help
the People’s Party, and will devote
one -week, and perhaps two, that is
if I can be of usO, to addressing
meetings of people who may care to
hear the utterances of a man who
believes what he says and says what
he believes.
You ask me to send you a check
to help the work. Gladly would I
do so, but I cannot. For ten years
the day has not closed without my
looking to the next day as one that
must be of effort to raise money
with -which to carry on our work.
My paper, Advance Thought, is be
ginning to pay, and I know it is
having an influence, as articles there
from are copied in hundreds of ex
changes.
I will make to you this proposi
.ion :
Advertise in your paper that it will
be sent three copies for one year for
$2.00. . Advise each Alliance -within
your district to obtain at least three
copies, which can easily be done,
though the times are hard ; but sure
ly there are three men in each Al
liance district in the State of Geor
gia who will together pool in and
send you $2 per year, and you can
send to me the names and post of-
fice address, and I will then send three
copies of the paper for every $2 re
ceived, and you can have the entire
cash resulting from this effort on
your part to a total of GOO subscript
tions, which would thus bring you
S4OO, all of which money you can
have as my contribution to your
work, the contribution to be made
in six hundred copies for one
year, and it is a daisy of a paper, as
you will admid, by reading the copy
which I send you to-day, and this
because of my expenses and dif
ficulty of obtaining money for a few
months yet. If you see anything in
this offer that you can utilize, utilize
it and command me.
Remember me kindly to your
family, and know that you—all of
you—are very much and very often
in my thoughts.
With good wishes,
Very busily and fraternally thine,
M. M. Pomeroy.
Mr. Pomeroy’s paper is a large
and finely gotten up sheet—cheap at
double the price at which he kindly
puts it in the above most generous
offer. We feel sure that there are
many who will avail themselves of
his generosity and help themselves
to a splendid paper while helping the
Campaign committe to funds. Do
not forget that the peoople are the
sourcee from which all money to
keep our speakers going and do all
the campaign work must come.
There are no rich men among us.
Now here is a chance to help the
committee to funds while you help
yourself to a magnificent paper pub
lished by one of the braniest men in
the nation and a friend of your
cause.
Send your money to Oscar Parker,
Secretary and Treasurer, 1174
Whitehall street, Atlanta, Ga. He
is Secretary and Treasurer of the
Campaign Committee, and will re
ceipt you for the money and for
ward your names to Mr. Pomeroy,
who will send you his paper at once.
BOND PURCHASE RESOLUTION.
(SUBSTITUTE FOR MR. MILLS’ BILL ON
SAME SUBJECT.)
That it is the sense of this house that
section 2 of the act mating appropria
tions for sundry civil expenses of the
government for the fiscal year ending
June 10, 1882, and for other purposes,
approved March 3, 1881, which is as fol
lows : That the secretary of the treasury
may at any time apply the surplus
money in the treasury not otherwise ap
propriated, or so much thereof as he may
consider proper, to the purchase or re
demption of United States bonds; “Pro
vided, That the bonds so purchased or
redeemed shall constitute no part of the
sinking fund, but shall be redeemed and
cancelled,” was intended to be a perma
nent provision of law, and the same is
hereby beclared to have been since its
enactment, and to be now, in the opinion
of the Louse, in full force and effect.

The Important Thing.
The important work to be done
just now is to put People’s Party
papers in the hands of the people.
So persistent are the efforts of the
opposition press to misrepresent the
true condition of the movement and
the men whom circumstances have
made prominent in it that especial
effort on the part of those who be
lieve in our principles is necessary
to prevent many from being deceived
and misled.
Put the truth and the facts in the
hands of the people, and the cause is
safe. There is no way of doing this
so successfully or cheaply as to get
subscribers to our reform papers.
Every county committee, every Alli
ance, ought to see to it that every
voter is at least solicited to sub
scribe, and when any one is really
too poor to do so, those better able
should subscribe for them. It is the
best investment that can be made,
and will do more to keep our friends
in touch one with another than any
thing else that can be done.
Remember that our 10 cents for
eight weeks offer is still open.
