A LESSON TO POLITICIANS.
1 he Silver State, of Winnemucca,
Colo., gives an object lesson to sev
eral Georgia politicians who alio sup
port a pronounced opponent to con
stitutional silver money after having
vowed they never, no, never, would
do so traitorous a thing :
If Senator Teller of Colorado had
visited Denver at any time during
this session of Congress before the
meeting of the Minneapolis conven
tion, he would have met with such
hearty 'welcome and demonstrations
of approval and admiration from an
intelligent people, without distinction
of party, as are seldom accorded to
a public servant. He had made a
most determined and gallant fight
for silver and had araigned Harrison
and his administration for their al
liance with Wall street and England
in such terms as left no one to doubt
his sincerity, honesty and high in
tegrity as a man and Senator. He
had placed principle above party and
stood shoulder to shoulder with Sena
tor Stewart and other earnest free
coinage members for the Stewart bill
agajnst the great power of the ad
ministration and the great array of
Senators in his own party. But, in
an evil hour, he fell. Doubtless the
same influence that demonetized
silver and kicked the silver sentiment
of the country out of the Minneapolis
and Chicago conventions pulled
Senator Teller down from the high
stand he had taken and the high
position he occupied before his con
stituents and the country, to the
level of a sell-out ward political
manipulator, and induced him to
stand for party and Harrison rather
than principle and the best interests
of his State, which he had so nobly
represented, but now so ignominious
ly disgraces.
A few days ago he returned home
to Denver and announced his inten
tion to support Harrison for re-elec
tion. Ten thousand people had
gathered from the outside portions of
the State to greet General Weaver,
the only free coinage candidate for
President. A grand convocation of
the people of that grand old State
was deliberating upon the great sil
ver issue of which the Senator had
been Colorado’s great champion, and
a motion was made to inyite him to
address the convention. Instanta
neously the membership of the whole
convention were upon then- feet
shouting No ! No ! No ! and hissing
.. their contempt for the duplicity of
Colorado’s traitor and venal repre
sentative. The opposition was so
determined and unanimous that the
chairman ignored the motion.
Senator Teller, by betraying silver,
principle and his State, has invited
and is receiving the merited anath
emas, indignation and curses of a
brave people, who once idolized him.
His name and memory will be hissed
and go sizzing down along the cor
ridors of time as a traitor to his peo
ple, a time serving and fawning sy
cophant and mercenary creature of
the debauched and debauching gold
bug variety oligarchy. In the esti
mation of true, self- respecting men
and -women and all angels of
heaven, in fervent prayer and suppli
cation to the throne of Almighty
God for generations to come, could
scarcely raise him to a respectable
degree of degradation. Let Nevada
politicians take warning; learn a les
son and profit thereby. The temper
of the people of this State will per
mit of no trifling. For they are too
intelligent not to see through the
base deceptions of any man who pro
fesses to be in favor of free coinage
and at the same time favors the elec
tion of a gold-bug candidate for
President. A professed friend who
gives aid and comfort to the enemy
is the meanest kind of a traitor, and
not to be trusted in public or private
life with public or private concerns.
Past services are no palliation for
present treachery.
Colored People of Burke County,
Pursuant to announcement, the
•Colored People’s Party of this coun
ty had their rally here August 6.
The attendance was not as large as
expected, there only being about six
hundred voters present.
The orator of the day was Brother
S. A. Walker, of McDuffie, who was
introduced by Capt. W. F. Walton
in a few very appropriate remarks.
Brother Walker’s speech consisted of
explanations of the different planks
in the People’s platform, with a
short history of our government, its
faults with some of the causes, inter
spersed with anecdotes, but not in
sufficient number to entitle him to
the title of an anecdote orator, as a
former orator of our town. His
speech was attentively listened to by
those present.
After Brother Walker closed, there
was a call for Captain Walton, who
responded in a short but pointed
speech on the short-comings of our
government.
At the elose of Captain Walton’s
speech there was a move by Secre
tary West, a colored man, offering
three cheers for our gallant Watson,
which was responded to by a deaf
ening roar, after which a division
was called for, which was so near
unanimous that it might be so called,
there only being seven present who
failed to stand up as People’s Party
men.
A collection was then taken up to
defray the expenses of the speaker,
which was very liberally responded
to.
Dinner was then announced, of
which there was plenty.
Everything was quiet and harmo
nious.
This rally shows where the colored
voters of the county stand.
Hayseed.
Representative Watson’s Charges.
Buffalo, (N. Y.,) Enquirer.
Representative Watson is chiefly
known to the people of Buffalo be
cause of his opposition to the bill
making an appropriation for the new
postoffice. lie is now kuown to the
country at large as the author of a
campaign book which has been con
demned in unmeasured terms by the
majority of the members of the
House.
The chief objection to Mr. Wat
son’s book is based upon a passage
which charges that drunkenness on
the floor of the House is a common
occurrence. The Representatives do
not intend to submit tamely to this
charge and have appointed a select
committee to ascertain if there is any
truth in Mr. Watson’s statement.
The show of virtuous indignation
made by the Representatives will
deceive no one. It is not unusual for
politicians to drink. Some of them
have been known to take several
drops too much. No one believes
that the House of Representatives is
made up of men all of whom are
models of discretion and sobriety.
Some of the members must have bad
habits. It is entirely probable that
some of the drunken men in Wash
ington during the last winter were
Representatives.
The statement made by Mr. Wat
son is reaffirmed by him. He says
that his charges are true and that he
can prove them. If this is the case,
there is no reason why he should be
criticised. It is not an offense to tell
the truth. If he has rebuked his
colleagues for drunkenness he should
be praised instead of blamed. Plain
speaking in such a case is a virtue.
If the voters of a district have elect
ed a drunkard to Congress they
should be apprised of the fact. It is
due to them. The House makes a
mistake in attempting to gag a mem
ber. The whole story will come out
now.
Support The Campaign.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 8, 1891.
To Oscar Parker, Esq., Secretary
and Treasurer.
Please accept three dollars en
closed for the Campaign Fund, for
which please send receipt. Now I
want you to print these few lines, but
don’t print my name, for it makes no
difference who it is, but the poor
farmer and the poor working man
should know that every one can give
something to this fund. I was out of
work, I don’t know how long, run in
debt, had a hard struggle to make a
living for my family. But as soon
as I got work, only a few weeks ago,
I decided I would rather do without
a chew of tobacco, without a glass of
liquor and anything down to a pint
of peanuts, than to neglect to save a
few dollars for the cause of Industrial
Freedom which every thinking, lib
erty-loving and family-loving man
must support or should support.
This is the poor people’s campaign.
Let us show that it is a power. Let
every one who is convinced of the
justice and necessity of of our cause
come forward and pay something.
Eat twice a day, do without tobacco.
Let us work; sell some unnecessary
article in our possession and help pay
for the campaign.
One For Principle—
Not For Party.
It Is Strange.
New Forum.
It seems strange that business men
do not cease grumbling about scar
city of money and hard times—cease
earnestly contending with bad debts
and slow collections—cease wearing
a care-worn expression and an eager
looking for customers that come not
—cease viewing with alarm their
goods persistently lying on their
shelves with everybody needing them
but no money with which to buy,
and address themselves to the duty
of studying the causes that have led
up to these anomalous conditions.
We say it is strange —marvelously
strange that our business men do not
think more about the things that en
ter into and form a part of their com
mercial existence, but it is a fact that
they do not. In suggesting to many
of them that our condition is the re
sult of bad legislation, class-made
laws fostering and sustaining wrong
systems, you will be met with sneers
and scoffs, if not insult, from men
who are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Jefferson said : “You can legislate
prosperity or adversity on your-
selves,” but to suggest such an idea
nowadays brings only derision from
men, who, in the business walks of
life, are considered well balanced,
and are shrewd financiers.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
State Platform, Adopted at Atlan
ta, July 20th, 1392.
We endorse and reaffirm the preamble,
resolutions and platform adopted by the
People’s Party iu national convention as
sembled at Omaha, July 4, 1892. We
indorse the ticket nominated and
pledge the party when it shall come
iito power in the State to frame and
administer the laws in the spirit of
the Omaha platform, which is equal
justice to all, and special privileges to
none.
2. We condemn the convict lease sys
tem.
3. We demand rigid economy in all
public masters and inist on every pos
sible reduction of taxation during the
present impoverished condition of the
people.
Ana we call public attention to the
fact that the producing interest in both
city and country is bearing more than its
fair share of taxation.
National Platform, Adopted at
Omaha, July 4th, 1892.
Assemoled upon the one hundred and six
teenth anniversary of the declaration of inde
pendence, the People’s Party of America, in
their first national eonvention, invoking upon
their action the bleesing of the Almighty God,
put forth in the name of the people of this
country, the following preamble and declara
tion of principles;
The conditions which surround us best
jUßtn*y our co-operation; we meet In the
midst of a nation brenght to the verge of
moral, political and material ruin. Corrup
tion dominates the ballot box, legislatures,
congress, and touches even the ermine of
the bench.
The people are demoralized; most of the
states nave been compelled to isolaie voters
at polling places to prevent universal in
timidation or bribery. Newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzled; public
•pinion silenced; business prostrated; our
homes covered with mortgages; labor im
poverished ; and the land concentrating in
the hands of capitalists. The urban work
men are defied the right of organization for
self-protection; imported pauperized labor
beats down their wages; a hireling standing
army, unrecognized by our laws, is estab
lished to shoot them down, and they are
sapid ly degenerating into European condi
tions. The fruits of the toil of millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes
for a few, unprecedented in the history of
mankind; and the possessors of these in
turn despise the republic and endanger
liberty. From the same prolific womb of
governmental injustice, we breed two great
classes—tramps and millionaires. National
power to create money is appropriated to
enrich bondholders; a vast public debt pay
able in legal tender currency has been
funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens of the peo
ple. . Silver, whieh has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing pow
er of gold by decreasing the value of all
forms of property as well as human labor,
ajid the supply of currency is purposely
abridged to fatten Meurers, bankrupt enter
prise and enslave industry. A vast con
spiracy against mankind has been organized
on the two continents and it is rapidly
taking possession of the world. If not met
and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible
social convulsions, the destruction of civil
ization or the establishment of an absolute
despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a quar
ter of a century the struggles of two great
political parties for power and plunder,
while grievous wrongs have been inflicted
upon the suffering people. We charge
that ths controlling influence dominating
both these parties has permitted the exist
ing dreadful conditions to develop without
serious effort to prevent or restrain them.
Neither do they now promise us any sub
stantial reform. They have agreed togeth
er to ignore in the coming campaign every
issue but one. They propose to drown out
the cries of the plundered people with the
uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so
that capitalists, corporations, national
baiiks, rings, trusts, watered stock, de
monetization of silver and the oppression
of the usurers may all be lost sight of.
They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives
and children on the altar of mammon; to
destroy the multitude in order to secure
corruption funds from millionaires.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation and filled with the
spirit of the grand generaldn-chief who es
tablished our independence, we seek to re
store the government of the republic to the
hands of “the plain people” with whose
class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the national constitu
tion—to form a more perfect union and es
tablish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote
the general welfare and secure the bless
ings of liberty for ourselves and our pos
terity. We declare that this republic can
only endure as a free government while
built upon the 1 ove of the whole people for
each ether, and for the nation; that it can
not be pinned together by bayonets; but
the civil war is over and that every passion
and resentment which grew out of it must
die with it, and that we must be in fact, as
we are in name, one united brotherhood.
Our country finds itself confronted by
conditions for which there are no prece
dents in the history of the world. Our
annual agricultural productions amount to
billions of dollars in value, which must
within a few weeks or months, be exchang
ed for billions of dollars of the commodi
ties consumed in their production.
The currency supply is wholly inade
quate to make the exchange. The results
are falling prices; formation of combines
and rings; and the impoverishment of the
producing class.
We pledge ourselves that if given power
we will labor to correct these evils by wise
and reasonable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform. We be
lieve that the powers of government —in
other words of the people—should be ex
panded as in the case of the postal service,
as rapidly and as far as the good sense of
an intelligent people and the teachings of
experience shall justify, to the end that op
pression, injustice and poverty shall event
ually cease in the land. our sym
pathies, as a party of reform, are naturally
upon the side of every proposition which
will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous
and temperate, we nevertheless regard
these questions —important as they are —
as secondary to the great issues now press
ing for solution and upon which not only
our individual prosperity but the very exist
ence of free institutions depend, and we
ask all men to first help us to determine
whether we are to have a republic to ad
minister, before we differ as to the. condi
tions upon which it is to be administered,
believing that the forces of reform this day
organized will never cease to . move for
ward until every wrong is righted and
equal rights and equal privileges securely
established for all men and women of this
country.
We declare, therefore:
1. That the union of the Labor forces of
the Uniled States this day consummated
shall be permanent and perpetual. May
its spirit enter into all hearts for the. salva
tion of the republic and the uplifting of
mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who creates it,
and every dollar taken from industry with
out an equivalent is robbery. “If any will
not work, neither shall he eat.” Ihe in
terests of rural and civic labor are the
same; their enemies are identical.
3. We believe that the time has come
when railroad corporations will either own
the people or the people must own the rail
roads : and should the government enter
upon the work of owning and managing all
railroads, we ahouid favor an amendment
th the constitution by which all persons
engaged in the government service shall be
placed under a civil service regulation of
the most rigid character, so as to prevent
an increase of the power of the national
administration by the use of such addition
al government employes.
We demand a national currency, safe
sound and flexible, issued by the general
government only, a full legal tender for all
ebts, public and private, and that with
out the use of banking corporations ; a just,
equitable and efficient means of distribu
tion direct to the people at a tax not to ex
ceed 2 per cent per annum be provided as
set forth in the plan of. the
Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system;
also by payment in discharge of its ob
ligations for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1.
We demand that the amount of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to
not less than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the coun
try should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand,
that all state and national revenues shall
be limited to the necessary expenses of
the government economically and honestly
administered.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the earnings of the people and
to facilitate exchange.
Transportation being a means of ex
change and a public necessity, the govern
ment should own and operate the railroads
in the interest of the people. The tele
graph and the telephone, like the postal
system, being a necessity for the trans
mission of news, should be owned and op
erated by the government in the interest of
the people.
The land, including all the natural
sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the
people and should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes, and alien ownership
of land should be prohibited. All lands
now held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs, and
all lands now owned by aliens should b«
reclaimed by the government and held foi,
actual settlers only.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, other questions have been present
ed for our consideration, we hereby submit
the following, not as a part of the platform of
the People’s Party, but as resolutions expres
sive of the sentim< nt of this convention.
First—Resolved, That we demand a free bal
lot and a fair count in all elections and pledge
ourselves to secure it to every legal voter
without federal intervention through the
adoption by the States of the unperverted
Australia® or secret ballot system.
Second—Resolved, That the revenue derived
from a graduated income tax should be applied
to the reduction of the burden of taxation now
resting upon the domestic industries of this
country.
Third—Resolved, That we pledge our sup
port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-Union
soldiers and sailors.
Fourth—Resolved, That, we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor under
the present system, which opens our ports to
the pauper and criminal classes of the world,
and crowds out our wage earners; and we de
nounce the present ineffective laws against
contract labor, and demand the further re
striation of undesirable immigration.
Fifth—Resolved, That we cordially sympa
thize with the efforts of organized working
men to shorten the hours of labor, and demand
a rigid enforcement of the existing eight-hour
law on government work, and ask that a pen
alty clause be added to the said law.
Sixth—Resolved, That we regard the main
tenance of a large standing army of mercena
ries, known as the Pinkerton system, as a men
ace to our liberties, and we demand its aboli
tion ; and we condemn the recent invasion of
the territory of Wyoming by the hired assas
sins of plutocracy, assisted by federal officials
Seventh—Resolved. That we commend to the
favorable eons.deration of the people and the
reform press the legislative system known as
the initiative and referendum.
Bight—Resolved, That we favor a constitu
tional provision limiting the office of President
and vice-President to one term, and providing
for the election of of the United
States by a direct vote of the people.
Ninth—Resolved, That we oppose any sub
sidy or national aid to an private corporation
for any purpose.
“The People’s Party at the outset to secure
permanent control of the party organization of
the people unaffected by the interests of those
in public service does hereby in national con
vention assembled at Omaha on the 4th of
July, 1892, establish this ordinance as funda
mental law of party organization, viz: No per
son holding any office or position of profit,
trust or emolument under the federal or any
state or municipal government, including Sen
ators, Congressmen and members of the Leg
islature, State and local, shall be eligible to sit
or vote in any convention of this party, and a
copy of this ordinance shall be annexed by ev
ery call for any future convention of the par
ty.”
RESOLUTION or SYMPATHY.
Resolved, That this convention sympathizes
with the Knights of Labor in their righteous
contest with the tyrannical combine of cloth
ing manufacturers of Rochester and declares
it to be the duty of all who hate tyranny and
oppression to refuse to purchase the goods
made by said manufacturers or to patronize
any merchants who sell such goods.
