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. Breut, Ga., Aug. 10, 1892. 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. NIUGER! The argument against the inde pendent political movement in ufee South may be boiled down into >oae Word NI'OGER. Fatal word! Why, for thirty years before -our war, did the North and South hate each other? Nigger. What brought disunion and war? Nigger. With what did Abraham Lincoln break the backbone of the Confeder acy? Niggee. What impeded reconstruction ? Niggee. How did the Republicans rule the South for years after Appomattox? Nigger. What has -kept the South in a cast iron straight jacket? Nigger. What will be the slogan of our old politicians until ’Gabriel calls them home ? Nigger. Pious Southern people never dreaded death so much as they do now. They fear that when they knock at the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem St. Peter will peep hrough the key-hole and say: “ You can’t come in.” “Why?” “ Nigger ’. ” 11. C. Fairman. Hypocrisy Exposed. National Watchman. 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. 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 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 resting upon the domestic industries of this country. Third—Resolved, That we pledge our sup port to faar 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 .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 the initiative and referendum. 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.
