Pine Log, Ga , May 21, 1892.
Col. C. C. Post —We see there is a va
cancy of one in the delegates to Omaha,
and would like to suggest the name of
name of John B. Hughes, of Bartow
county, and give every assurance that
he is all right, and would be glad for
him to go. Put him down, sure.
Truly, J. C. Collins, P. M.
The name of P. H. Larey, of Bartow
county, is also suggested by several as a
good man for one of the delegates to
Omaha.
Bethesda Sub.
Whereas, Speaker Crisp has the power

theresore,
Resolved, By Bethesda Alliance that
we demand of Speaker Crisp to compel a
vote on the silver bill at once, as con
gress has plenty of time to enact such a
law.
A CALL TO ACTION.
By General J. B. Weaver.
We are in receipt of General J. B.
Weaver’s New Work, A Call to Action.
To say that it is a valuable addition
to our reform literature is not a suffi
cient expression of its merits. It is
among the most valuable of all
our reform works, and in some respects
the most so. Its scope is the broadest,
and the fund of information contained
is greater than that of any reform
work known to us.
It is divided into twenty chapters
dealing with the following subjects:
The Senate; The Speaker of the
House; Supreme Court; Improvident
Disposal of Public Lands; Finance in
War and Peace; The Gerry-Man
der, with Original Caricature; The
Silver Problem; Evolution in Crime,
Improved Methods of Piracy; Public
Debts; A Comparison—Rome, Britain
and the United State; Finance and
Land Ownership; Dives and Lazarus
—Contrasts; Trusts; The Pinkertons;
Transportation Problem; National
Banks; The Sub-Treasury; Remedies
Considered; The Great Uprising —its
Interpretation—The Country’s Call to
Action; Danger and Duty.
For us to say that these subjects are
ably handled is to add little to the
value of the work in the eyes of our
readers —even in Georgia, General
Weaver’s reputation is sufficiently
well established to need no support
from us. Our only regret is that the
price of the work, $1.50, is such as to
put it beyond the reach of ninety-nine
hundredths of our people. In its pres
ent binding, (cloth) it can not how
ever, well be retailed at a less price,
and we trust at least a few of our peo
ple will feel able to supply themselves
with a copy. Address General J. B.
Weaver, Box 1111, Des Moines, la.
Bartow County.
The People’s Party of Bartow county
held a meeting last week to elect dele
gates to the congressional convention.
Every district in the county was repre
sented by the solid men of the district.
The very best men in the county are in
the movement, and, so far as the farmers
are concerned, pretty nearly all of them
are with us. In one district we are in
formed that the democrats can not find
a man who will serve on their county
committee. Many good men in the
towns are also with us.
Colonel Post spoke at the meeting and
was repeatedly and loudly cheered.
Even the democrats were forced to
acknowledge that the speech was a
strong arraignment of their party and
a forcible presentation of the principles
of the People’s Party.
As a sample of the men who make up
the People’s Party in the county, we
give the names of those sent to ihe con
gressional convention that meets at
Rome to elect delegates to Omaha. The
county was only entitled to four dele
gates, but we sent twelve, instricting
them to cast one-third of a vote each.
Here are the names :
R. B. Bell, C, M. Jones, J. B. Hughes,
J. J. Haney, R. H. Dodd, A. F. Woolley,
W, T. Burge, W. E. Lee, W. T. White
sides, L. V. Wilson. J. E. Barrow and
P. H. Larey.
In the Fight to Stay.
Wilkes Co., Ga., May 22, 1892.
Editors People’s Party Paper :
The People’s Party is just booming
in this county, but every effort possi
ble is being put forth by the Democrat
ic leaders to keep the voters out of the
new party. They know that if the
people flock to the new party that the
reign of Plutocracy is doomed. They
know that if they can revive sectional
ism ; if they can induce the South to re
ject the present overtu :es of the West,
that they can continue to play one sec
tion against the other and rob the peo
ple of both sections in the future as in
the past. The Democrats are whoop
ing up the negro. While the interests
of white and colored laboring men are
identical, the interest of both and the
general welfare demands that govern
mental control should rest in the hands
of the more intelligont and better edu
cated race.
Legislation that is beneficial to the
white man will also prove beneficial to
the colored man. Equal justice and
fairness must be accorded to every
man.
The old bosses may cry “nigger,”but
we are going to stand by our homes
and liberties. We are in the fight to
stay and to win.
R. S. Fleming.
On the defeat of the silver bill General
Weaver telegraphed President L. L.
Po’k: *‘The waters of the Red Sea have
parted. Speak to the child; en of Israel
that they go forward.” The answer came,
“See Exodus, XIV, 13,” which reads:
“And Moses said unto the people, Fear
ye not; stand still and soe the salvation
of the Lord, which He shall shall show
you today for the Egyptians whom ye
have seen today, ye shall see them no
moie forever. —Creston (la.) American.
The defeat of Hon. Thomas E. Watson
for Congress will kill the Third Party in
Georgia, and that is wbat we intend to do
our part to accomplish. —Augusta Chron
icle.
The only way to keep Tom Watson out
of the next Congress is to kill him.
If he is alive he will be there at roll
call and don’t you forget it. The men
behind him can neither be bullied, bam
boozled nor bought.
Those Circulars.
A correspondent requests us to insert
the Circular sent cut by the London
Bankers in 1862 to the Amesican Bankers
and known as the Hazard Circular. Also
the Circular sent out by the American
Bark rs Association a dozen years later,
during the greenback campaign, and
known as thd Buell Circular.
Not having a copy of the former at
hand we quote from memory.
HAZARD CIRCULAR.
“Slavery iis likely to be destroyed by
the war power and chattel s’aveiy abol
ished. This I and my European friends
are in favor of, because s a very is but the
owning of labor and carries with it the
care for the laborer, European
plan led on by England is, con
trol of labor by controlling wages, and
this must be done by controlling the
money. It will not do to let the Green
back, as it is called, circulate for any
length of time because we cannot control
that.
The great debt, that capitalists will sea
to it, is created before the war is ended,
must be made the basis of banking, and
in this way we can control the currency.
BUELL CIRCULAR.
“Dear Sir: It is advisable to do all in
your power to sustain all such daily and
prominent weekly newspap.-rs, especially
the agricultural and religious press, as
will oppose the issuing of greenback pa
per money, and that you will also withhold
patronage or favors from all who will not
oppose the government issue of money.
Let the government issue the coin and
the banks issue the paper money of the
country, for then we can better protect
each other.. Te repeal the law creating
national bank notes, or to restore to cir
culation the government issue of money
will be to provide the pcopole with money,
and will, therefore, seriously affect your
individual profit as bankers ~ and lenders.
See your member of congress at oncee,
and engage him to support your interest
that we MAY CONTROL REGISTRATION.”
Our correspondent will see from a care
ful reading of the above circulars that
the London Barkers Association is the
mother of our financial sjstem, and that
her American cousin has proven an apt
scholar in the lesson that teaches how to
ens’ave the God-created man to the Gov
ernment c reated dollar. He will also per
ceive that the present National Bank is
the same creature that Jefferson, Jack
son, Benton and Calhoun so terribly de
nounced 45 years ago as themost'infernal
agency ever invented for robbing labor
of its just reward, and destroying the
liberties of the people.
The democrats had 11 republicans and
9 independents and 235 of their own
force and then the house could not pass
the free coinage bill. There is one truth
clbarly demonstrated by these figures,
that is, one hundred and six democratic
members of the house wear the Wall
street brass collar. Western democrat,
is your eye powerful enough to pierce
the gloom and see light cn the other
side?—New Era.
The Banner Township.
The banner township of the People’s
Party in the United States is the town of
Willow, in Richlond county, Wis. It
contains 1,012 population, according to
the census of 1890, and among that
number there is one republican and not
a single democrat. —Advance.
