Whereas, Speaker Crisp has the power to compel a vote on the silver bill as introduced in congress by Mr. Bland ; 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. HON. TOM WATSON’S BOOK. CONTAINS 390 PAGES.
