THOS. E. WATSON, President People’s Paper Publishing Co. 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.

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.

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.
