This Paper is now and will ever be a fearless
advocate of the Jeffersonian Theory of Popu
lar Government, and will oppose to the bitter
end the Hamiltonian Doctrines of Class Rule.
Moneyed Aristocracy, National Banks, High
Tariffs, Standing Armies and Formidable Na
ives: —all of which go together as a system of
oppressing the People.

building 117 1-2 Whitehall street, where our

Get Up Clubs.
We want the Industrial Classes to feel that
this Paper is THEIR FRIEND. It is conduct
ed by men who are intensely interested in the
Reform Movement, and have been battling for
it many years.
The price shows that the Paper is not being
fun for money. If the People support it lib
erally it will pay expenses. It cannot do
more.
As long as I am President of the Company,
the Paper will never be found on any other
line of policy than that which I sincerely be
lieve is best for Georgia, best for the South,
and best for the country at large.
