Tlie Democratic Foil Vole.
The following i g an extract from
an editorial in the Atlanta Constitu
tion of the 7th inst.:
‘ In all the democratic primaries that
have ben held in Georgia during the
present campaign, they have polled their!
usual number of votes ; this is the case
m the large counties, in the small coun
ties, m the ci les, in the country districts
and in any part of the State * * * *
And when we find nearly as many d?mo
sratic votes cast this year as was polled
last year and the year before, the indica
tions make it reasonably certain that the
®id party has lost very little of its
strength—not enough to affect the re
sult.
Would it be pertinent to ask the
Constitution if he referred to Fulton
county, when, after an excited and
heated canvass by two of the oldest
and most prominent citizens and
lawyers for congressional nomina
tion, they were able to enlist the in
terest and votes of only 2,070 voters
out of r voting population—as
claimed by the ’Constitution—of
*20,000 ? -Or he may allude to Floyd
•ounty, with 43 votes for the Alliance
democrat, Everett, M. C., and 137
for Judge Maddox, congressional as
pirant ; or he may have his eye on
Clayton or Douglass. From such
reckless statements from a paper
claiming so much respectability
“good Lord deliver-us.”
While we, the People’s party, do
not claim the 18,000 votes not cast
in the late primaries for democracy
in Fulton, and corresponding vote
east in Floyd and other counties ;all
over the State, ‘♦nothing could be
more significant” than this fact that
Mr. Cleveland and his supporters
fail not only to enthuse but even to
excite sufficient interest to take them
to the polls in theoe primaries. All
the enthusiasm ic confined to the
office seekers. If the primaries
lately held develop and emphasize
any one fact more than another, it is
the indifference manifiested by the
people to vote for a party whose na
tional standard bearer, not only un
der the dictation of Wall street re
pudiates the . coinage of silver, but
ignores every reform measure de
manded by the late Georgia State
democratic convention which sent
delegates to Chicago to nominate
him.
The Constitution may ignore its
solemn pledges not to support any
man who did not favor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, but. the
true democracy of the State, who
value principles above men and par-;
ties, will not interest themselves in
adva. oiog such • hypocrisy as has
been demonstrated in the late pri
mariee. Mr. Cleveland has no
claims on Southern and Western tax
payers, and will be able to arouse no
enthusiasm among the laboring
classes his support will be confined
to merchants and professional men.
Why the sudden change in the
editorials of the Constitution in the
last few weeks, and since the return
of its chief from the North? While
there did he see a man, who prom
ised to make good all that he might
lose of subscribers by reason of his
change ?
The Atlanta Journal lost the most
es its subscribers more than a year
ago by its abuse of the Alliance and
the “Ocala fraud.” The Constitu
tion, profiting by the sad experience
es the Journal, endeavored to keep
its hold on the people by a shew of
decent respect, inconsistent with the
demands of the party bosses, who in
return are rebelling at these signs of
lukewarmness if not positive apos
tacy; some mysterious agency has
induced him to lay aside his small
arms, and is bringing to bear bis
heavy artillery against the wealth
producers of the country, the very
people who have sustained and sup
ported him in the past. Will the
people whom he abuses and maligns
support him longer? We will see.
It a fight of bondholders vs. plow
holders. The papers are manipu
lated by the former, wdiile the la
borer without money is sustained by
a clear conscience and an abiding
faith in the ultimate triumph of
truth. Monroe.

Methods Used to Fool the People.
The Congressional Committee re
porting the sub-treasury bill falls back
epon the Constitution and says :
“Whatever the expediency or in
expediency of the proposition, the
committee thinks it is a violative of
the Constitution, and hence should be
rejected. It is a proposition to loan
money, out of the Treasury to the
citizens to carry on private business.
Such loans are held unconsiitional
wherever they have been attempted
to be made and submitted to the test
of judicial decision. In this con
nection is cited the case of the Loan.
Association against Topeka and Jus
tice Miller’s decision thereon ; and the
decision of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts as to the validity of
the bonds issued on the loan of $20,-
000,000 by the State to aid in rebuild
ing the city of Boston after tue great
fire of 1872. The committee unani
mously recommended that the bill be
laid upon the table.”
It is a proposition to loan money i
out of the Treasury to conduct pri
vate business, is it ?
What are National Banks if they
are not institutions for private gain ?
Why hasn’t somebody fallen back
upon the Constitution when United
States money was loaned out (upon
a 1 per cent tax) to National Banks ?
Why!
Oh, that is different.
Yes but the people can’t see it.
Everybody knows that the courts
are simply the tools of the money
power, and their decisions are noth
ing more than might be expected.
If favors are rot to be granted to
the peoplc(and the people, you know,
is the power that gives value to our
money) then quit granting favors to
National Banks.
“Equal rights to all, special priv
ileges to none? 5
The party that tabled that bill
will have to answer to a higher court
| than the Supreme Court of the United
States—the people—before they are
[ through with this question.
The war is on and will be fought
to the bitter end. The principle in
volved is not the sub-treasury bill so
much as it is the granting of govern
mental favors to a select few at the
expense of the many.
Either the farmers and producers
will be freed from the usury of mid
dle men or the middle men will have
to go to work like everybody else.

Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, introduced,
and the House passed, the following
resolution which was inserted in the
appropriation bill:
It shall not be lawful for any officer
of the government authorized to make
contracts, nor any officer in the Dis
trict of Columbia to contract with any
person, firm or corporation, who em
ploys Pinkerton detectives or any oth
er association of men as armed guards;
and no employe of said detective agen
cy, shall be employed in any govern
ment service or by any officer of the
District of Columbia.
This was sent to the Senate and, in
strict accord with its plutocratic ten
dencies, was stricken out and the fol
lowing inserted:
‘‘That no employe of the Pinkerton
Detective Agency or similar agency
shall be employed in any Government
service or by any officer of the Dis
trict of Columbia.”
On being returned to the House Mr.
O'Neal and Jerry Simpson vigorously
opposed the change.
Mr. O’Neill said:
“Mr. Speaker, there is more involved
in this question than appears in the
report made by the gentleman from
Indiana. Stripped of all its verbiage
the amendment brought in by Ihe
committee provides that no Pinkerton
detectives shall be employed in the
United States service or by the Dis
trict of Columbia.’’
Mr. Holman. Nor in any Depart
ment of the government.
Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri. Norin any
Department of the government. But
does not the gentleman from Indiana,
[Mr. Holman,] well know that nobody
oojects to the legitimate use of the
Pinkerton detective as such. It is
their use as armed guards that is
objected to, and it is the sen ding
of these armed guards from one
State into another that has brought
up a protest from every section
this land, and has even resulted
in ttie enactment of a Jaw by the
State from which the gentleman comes,
prohibiting that class of men from
comming into that State. It is the
armed yuard principle that we pro
test against.
It is not that we object to the legiti
mate use of detectives, but we have
not yet reached the time in this coun
try when we are wiljing to admit that
the law officers of a stale and t tie pow- 1
er of this nation are not sufficient to ,
protect life and properly, without the
agency of this band of hired murderers '
sent from State to State. That is the
principle which is crystallized in this
bill, and there has been no act by this
Congress that people have so thor
oughly indorsed as this very act.
I read the proceedings of the Senate,
I saw the shuffling evasive way in
which they treated this proposition.
They said that they did not like the
phraseology of the amendment, and
they did not think it was drawn very
accurately. Why fid not their giant
minds create according to their notions
a proper amendment? Only to-day,
in conversation with members of the
Senate, they stated that they were
willing to incorporate a provision to
prohibit the sending of armed guards
from one State into another, and I
stated to them that the People would
accept that if they could not secure
the entire amendment. That would be
a compromise that meant nothing.
But this miserable makeshift is
practically a backdown by the repre
sentatives of the people in the House
at this late hour. I realize how anxi
ous you all are to adjourn, but the
principles involved in the House pro
position will justify yo- in standing
by the amendment we adopted, and
we ought to compel that conference
committee, if the language of the
amendment does not suit them, to
change its phraseology so that it will
suit them, but to keep in that bill the
proposition that the use of armed
guards and the sending of them from
one state to another, meets with the
intense disapprobation of the People,
and that the American Congress, the
Representatives of the People, empha
sizes the sentiments of the People.
It is a grand thing in a free land,
where you find a responsive legisla
ture, one that feels the pulse of the
people and keeps in line with them.
Do mot let this House act the coward.
Donot let this House weaken because
the elements of concentrated wealth
and capital oppose measures of this
kind. Let me tell you right here and
now that the only menace to the repub
lic lies in the danger that may come
from the improper use of concentrated
wealth and corporation power with
its own militia to compel submission
by the people to its unjust exactions..
In the interest of peace and good
will among mesa put your heel upon
these armed guards. You may have
civil -war, because no body of free Am
erican working saen will be crushed
by any band of hired assassins
brought in for the purpose of striking
them to the earth when they are con
tending for their rights. Do not ac
cept this makeshift. .Do not make a
promise to the ear only to break it to
the hope.
The word Pinkerton is used here,
and this amendment says: “We will
not allow a Pinkerton detective to be
used in the District of Columbia.”
But I ask you to strike out that
provision, and to go further and say
that the government of the United
States will not make a contract, or
(permit any agent of government to
contract with a firm that uses such in
famous methods as these. Send this
back into conference. Stand by this
principle and I have ao fears but what
they will agree upon a proposition
thaC will be just to the-people,and will
give life and vitality to the principle.
[Applause on the floor and in the gal
lery.”’]
Jerry Simpson said:
“Mr. Speaker, I desire, in the three
minutes accorded to me, to denounce
this cowardly surrender on the part
of the House to the representatives of
the plutocracy of the country. Ac
cording to tKe argument of the gen
tieman from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Bing
h&in,] all these great corporations find
it necessary to-day to employ armed
guards in defense of their property.
He relersto the great steel and works
where they make plate, and with
whom the United States government
are contracting for plate to plate their
armor-clad war vessels. That includes
Mr. Carnegie, and that is the reason
these gentlemen stand up here tc-dav
and defend organized capital.
“There is a fatal admission in this,
that express companies and all these
great corporations find the civil au
thorities of this country insufficient
fortheir purposes; that they find or
dinary watchmen insufficient, and
that they are compelled to employ
these armed murderers and robbers
and thugs who are denounced as such
by the press all over the country, a
force recruited from the “bums” and
outcasts of every city in the Union.
“Those are the men that these cor
porations say they find it necessary to
employ to defend the wealth that they
have gathered from the strong arm of
labor.
“I say that the representatives of the
People in this House have forgotten
their duty to tee People when they
have surrendered on the question even
to the Senate of the United States, and
gentlemen, if I am not mistaken, you
will hear from this in the election that
is to come off this fall. And you ought
to hear from it, and every man who
votes for this amendment ought to be
left at home, because be is not repre
senting the true interest of the People
of the country. The farmers of my
state, and the farmers of all over the
country, are in full sympathy with
labor.
“In their meetings they have expres
sed their sympathy with the laborers
in the strike at Homestead, and that
issue has been brought before the
country squarely. You know your
duty; you should have done it like
men, and stood by the people, and not
surrendered to representatives of
wealth. Disguise it as you may, the
day is coming when the People will
all take sides upon the question, and I
am glad the gentleman from Pennsyl
vania, [Mr. Bingham,] standing, I
presume, for his parry, has shown
upon which side that party stands
Mr. Bingham. He is standing for
the People; and when you claim that
you represent the People, my sugges
tion is that you go to them and ascer
tain their sentiments.
Mr. Simpson. Yes. “The People.”
Those that he call the People are
the great steel works of the country—
properly named “steal”—and the great
railroad corporations, and all the cor
porations. Those are the “people”
that the gentleman and his party
stand fur aud represent.
Colored people are not such fools
as to vote with the Democrats, when
they have refused to allow them to
vote for years in their primaries.
THE PEOPLES PARTY.
State Platform, Adopted at Atlan-
ta, July 26th, 1592.
We endorse and reaffirm the preamble,
resolutions und platform adopted by the
People’s Party in national convention as
sembled at Omaha, July 4, 1892. We
indorse the ticket nominated and
pledge the party when it shall come
into 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
hone.
2. We condemn the convict lease sys
tem.
3. We demand rigid economy in all
public matters and inist on every pos
sible reduction of taxation during the
present impoverished condition of the
people.
And 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 tirst national convention, invoking upon
their action the blessing 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
justrry our co-operation; we meet In the
midst of a nation brought to the verge of
Utoral, pouhcal and material ruin. Corrup
tion cfomlnates the ballot box, legislatures,
congress, and touches even the ermine of
the bench.
The people are demoralised; most of the
states nave been compelled to isolate voters
at polling places to prevent universal in
timidation or bribery. Newspapers are
largely subsidised or muzzled; public
opinion 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 denied 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
rapidly 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 aud 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, which has been accepted aa
coin since the dawn of history, has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing pow
er of gold by decreasing the value of all
t forms of property aa well as human labor,
' aud the supply of currency is purposely
: abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enter
i prise and enslave industry. A vast con
i ’’.piracy against mankind has been organized
I an the two cor(i newts and it is rapidly
i taking possession of the world. If not met
j and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible
' sccial convulsions, the lestruction of civil
ization or the establish:’lent of an absolute
i despwtism.
We b.. ve witnessed forjpore than a quar
ter si a century tlie struggles of two great
political parties for and plunder,
while grievous wrongs have been inflicted
upon the suffering people. We charge
that the controlling intiueace 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- z
stautial reform. They have agreed togeth- '
er to ignore in the coming campaign every
issue but ene. They propose to drown out
the cries of the plundered people with the
uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, go
that capitalists, corporations, national
banks, 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 general-in-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
slass 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 whtie
built upon the 1 ove of the whole people for
each other, 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 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. While 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 es 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 whe creates it,
and every dollar taken from industry with
out an equivalent is robbery. “If any will
sot work, neither shall he eat.” The in
terests of rural and civic labor are the'
same; their enemies are identical.
3. We believe that the time has come
wheu railroad corporations will either own
the people or the people must own the rail
reads; and should the government enter
upon the work of owning and managing all j
railroads, we. Should, favor an amendment
to the constitution by which all persona
engaged in the government service shall he
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
debts, 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 sub-treasury plan of the
Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system;
also by payment in discharge of its ot>
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,
j 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
1 all lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed. by the government and held for
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.

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
Australian or secret ballot system.
Second—Resolved, That the revenue derived
from a graduated income tax should be applied
to the reduction of the burdenof taxation now

country.
Third—Resolved, That we pledge our sup

soldiers and sailors.

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
.1 contract labor, and demand the further re-
2 striction of undesirable immigration.
Fifth—Resolved, That we cordially sympa
thize with the efforts of orga ized working
men to shorten the hours of labor, and demand
u rigid enforcement of the existing eight-hour
£aw on government work, and aek 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
•nes, 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
favourable cons.deration of the people and the
press tlie legislative system known as

Eight—Resolved, That we favor a constitu
tional provision limiting the office of President
and viee-President to one term, and providing
for the election of Senators 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 at-sembled at Omaha on the 4th of
July, 892, 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 OF SYMPATHY. F
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.
County Organizations.
Clubs ought to be formed at once
in every militia district in every
county in Georgia. Keep things
warm,
The campaign committee urges
that every possible effort be made to
get subscribers for the People’s
Party Paper. It is the safest, surest
and cheapest campaign work that
can be done.
