THE CANVASS IN 8188. ADDRESS OF A MEMBER OF THE PEOPLE’S COMMITTEE. A Vigorous Arraignment of the Oppo sition—A Reason the Faith That AVe Hold. To the People of Bibb County: As an executive committeeman of the People’s Party of Bibb, repre senting the great common people, I desire to place the cause we represent fairly and squarely before the people of our county, and particularly be fore our life-long friends, with whom we now differ in our political views ditiering chiefly, however, in the manner of obtaining the reforms we need, and not the reforms themselves. in the face of the crisis upon our ask a careful considera tion of the reasons which, to us, are of such force as to drive us, for self preservation, to seek relief from op pression in independent political ac tion. Religious and political freedom is the precious heritage which our gal lant forefathers wrung from the ty rants of England. Shall we sell this birthright for so small a mess of pot tage as the privilege of wearing the Democratic collar? If we are forced to be governed by the commands (as we have been in the past) of a little clique of court house politicians—a score acting for a thousand—who have stolen the name of Democracy while casting aside all the principles which make that party the party of the people ; and who tell us we must abide by the actions of all future party conven tions, adopt its platforms, vote for its candidate regardless of what that platform contains, or whether the nominee is in harmony with the planks contained therein, then, we ask, are we not political slaves ? What are the reasons which have driven us, ihe men who labor in fields and shops, to sever our connection with that once loved party ? Have we cause for breaking the ties which have bound us so closely and so long to the Democratic party ? Have we not trusted the promises of the leaders implicitly for years, voting blindly and believing that our interests were being cared for by our servants? For a long time we have felt the ever-increasing oppression, but could not see the iron hand of the oppres sor. Sometimes doubts of the good faith of our leaders would present themselves to our minds, only to be cast aside as unworthy to And an abiding place in our loyal hearts. Unquestioning faith! matchless de . • vol ion AA~e have seen our once fair coun try almost stripped of the old set of noble men and women who were once free to pursue happiness and wealth wherever they chose, driven by increasing hardships to flock to the city, their places filled by strang ers. We have witnessed our prop erty and homes snatched from us by process of law. We see daily enforced idleness among our city workmen, men beg ging work, women desperate and working for only enough to keep soul and body together—misery, want and rags! Yet we are told that the country was never more prosperous. Possi bly it may be just right for the money bugs, but to the workers slavery— nothing more, nothing less. No sen sible man will deny that our country has reached a crisis more blasting in its far-reaching effect than any that has ever befalled this once pros perous land. Legislation adverse to the interest of the people, is acknowledged by all intelligent and fair minded men, to have caused this depression which hangs like a pall over our country. That it has fallen heaviest on the toiling masses no candid man will deny. Compelled by stern necessity to bend our every energy to gain our daily bread, trusting while we worked—sleeping over our rights— listening to the siren voices of these leaders “to work on and lehve to us the management of the government and all will be right,” we have at last awaked from our Rip Van Win kle sleep, only to find our goodly heritage gone and the welfare of a trusting people betrayed. We see now we have heeded too long their .cry for office, beguiled into returning them to office only |o be repaid by fresh treachery. The republican bosses tell the Northern and Western farmers and laborers to vote for the g. o. p., the friend of the people, and that they will get their demands, and that the demo cratic party is the cause of all their ills. Our democratic masters tell us, “Stick to the old rock-ribbed, unter rified democracy, boys, and you shall have eveiything yon want and more too; the republicans have made all these laws which have hurt you so ; send us back and w hen we get full swing and a little larger ‘working majority’ we will set ’em up right.” Have we not tried in every way in the past to get relief before taking this final step ? Feeling the need of instant relief, and confident of success in the house of our friends, we deluged Congress with petition after petition begging for measures whicn we believed would lighten our burdens. We were told to work harder, live closer and make more to sell—that wouljl remedy everything. Like slaves obedient to their mas ter’s nod, we labored and made such an abundance of cotton and food products as the world never saw, re- PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1892 ducing prices below the actual cost of production. Now what do our Job’s comforters tell us? “You fools, you have run the thing in. the ground ; you have made too much.” An overproduction of good things! Too much food, with hunger and starvation all around us! Too much cotton, with. rags End nakedness everywhere among the laboring poor! AV hen we see abundance and star vation, overproduction and rags walking hand in hand, we fefel con vinced that something else is needed of far more importance than that wonderful democraiic-five-per-cent.- tariff reduction. Something else, Governor Northen, is the cause of our depression than “guano and the mule.” We fear starvation even more than that wonderful democratic scare crow, the force bill, kindly lent to them by their twin brother, the re? publican party, to use to scare the third party chickens back on the old roost, where the demo-republican owls feast nightly. A very good cracker on the party lash, but it will never pop loud enough to drown the voice of an oppressed people crying aloud for financial relief! All our just demands have been repaid with scorn by the old party, after promises to give us relief if re turned to office. Realizing the hope lessness of obtaining our demands by harmless petitions, as a little note of warning to the bosses we sent thirty-five members to Congress pledged to push our demands for re form till every congressman was placed on record on the various measures. Twenty-five of these members bound themselves *to act with the old party, still trusting the promises made in the campaign, and what has the result been ? Swal lowed down by a party who itself is owned and controlled by the bitter est enemies of the welfare of the people, the money kings of AA’all street. This will be the fate of any further efforts for reform through the same party. AA r e demand more circulating me dium and less taxes. The promises that won the un precedented majority of 148 in the House were distinct and unequivocal. 1. Free coinage of silver. Plain, straight along free coinage, and not that miserable jumble of meaning less words found in the Chicago plat form, intended to stand for the genuine article in the South and AVest 1 , and in the East just the re verse. 2. Tariff reduction. 3. Opposition to billion dollarism. Has the democratic House made good these good democratic princi ples and promises? Let us see. Speaker Crisp, who, it will be remembered, was elected over Mills solely on his professions of undying love for the white metal, killed the Bland bill by his little patent back action Rule committee, consoling themselves with “Oh, well, the re publican Senate would kill it any way.” But when the Senate passed the Stewart bill and handed it over, the same little Benedict Arnold act was done by ninety-odd good demo crats rushing to the leadership of Tom Reed and his gang. Demo crats uniting with republicans to keep from doing the very thing the promise of which won their offices! If you want to make an orthodox democrat faint, just say Free Silver to him. Before Congress met, the edict had gone forth to “pass no free coinage bill this session.” AA z ho was obeyed, the people or Wall street ? AVhere is the relief from taxation ? A few little two by four bills like the free wool farce, that takes the little protection from the farmer’s wool, but takes particular pains to keep the tariff on the manufacturer’s woolen goods. Wonderful relief! Have they reduced the expenses of the billion dollar Congress? Go to the records and see if it does not show forty-eight million dollars more spent this session than the same session of Reed’s billion dollar Con gress. Now, our friends, in the light of all these broken party promises, and with financial ruin staring us in the face, have we not acted as brave men should, scorning to go cap in hand before our bosses and begging further for those measures which we had a right to demand, but choosing rather to stand by our rights and principles rather than party? The farmer, owning only 20 per cent, of the total wealth, paying 80 per cent, of the taxes. Is this j ustice ? The rich man’s bonds and stocks exempt from taxation, while the very sewing machine of the mechanic’s wife, that stitches his rags together, and the farmer’s plow must answer to the tax-gatherer’s call. Is that equal j ustice to all ? Congress giving to banks the power to issue money to lend to the people ; a favoied few growing rich on the interest of their own debts. AVe demand that that law should be repealed, and the government issue money direct to the people without having to pay banker’s toll, good for all debts, public or private, SSO per capita. AA’hat does the Democratic party propose to do about that ? Why, the nicest little trick in the world—have a lot of wild-cat State banks of issue to feed upon the people. More masters to support where we only had a few before. That is relief With a vengeance. AVe demand an income tax, which we once had, and which was repealed by Democratic votes. Any hope of getting this? Not much. This would reduce our taxes and make the millionaire pay his share on his law made wealth. How can you expect this law when the rich men control both old par ties ? They will hardly vote money out of their own pockets. Whitney, Brice & Co. will not be in much hurry to give you this. AVe charge the Democratic party with being partly responsible for most of the vicious legislation which has brought about the present condition of affairs. They made no fight on the demon etization of silver in ’73 and ’74. Where were the boasted champions of the people ? Did they raise their voices in behalf of the men who sent them there ? Ah, no ! They were there, it is true, but were quietly sleeping the sweet sleep of innocence while the fiendish work went on—dosed, possible, with “sooth ing syrup,” administered by that “ eminent English financier,” Ernest Seyd, sent to AVashington by Eu ropean bankers loaded with gold to influence legislation. That was a black page in the his tory of the country. If that party enacts into law every demand in its platform (which is barely possible), even then where is the laboring man to be benefited ? An attempted straddle on the tariff, a successful straddle on silver, sums up your hopes of relief. No demand or promise of increased currency; their ideal tariff demand (the Mills bill) only five per cent, less than that iniquitous McKinley bill. Their first campaign cry was that that paltry 5 per cent, reduction was the great and only issue of the com ing battle ; but some how or other, since the People’s party has shown such a disposition of coming to—after being buried so often —they have de cided to get a companion piece for tariff reform, so they dressed up the force bill for duty. The democratic party is hopelessly divided on every issue which, if en acted into law, will prove beneficial to the common people. Take the free coinage question, 94 congressmen voted against it, 118 voted for it, in the face of the fact that a large majority of the party were pledged to pass it if elected. The Speaker was elected over Mills solely on that issue. Take the tariff question. Hope lessly divided there. When the committee was sent out to make the platform at Chicago they brought in a majority report to straddle that also, Cleveland’s right bower stating that it was just as his chief wanted it. A virtual back down on a little five per cent, reduc tion. The difference between the Mc- Kinley bill, (the republican bill which all good democrats agree in calling the Robber Tariff) and the Mills production, which is the demo cratic ideal of tariff reduction, is just five per cent. The one is a 54 per cent, robbery, the other, a 49 per cent, robbery, justly pronounced a sham battle on the tariff. If the one is a 54 per cent, monstrosity, the other is a 49 per cent, variety of the same animal, and no amount of word juggling can make it anything else. A small difference it makes whether a poor devil is to pay a 54 or a 48 per cent, tariff, when he has not the dollar to pay it with. Having looked into these reasons carefully and studied the situation as men who are vitally interested should, it is our unalterable intention to sever our connection with a party which has treated our every just de mand with scorn and contempt, and whose leaders have broken every campaign pledge made to a people almost in despair. AVe take this step knowing full well the importance of it. AVe prefer to join our destinies with the laboring West and North west rather than be always controlled by a plutocratic East, whose only in terest in us is our labor, upon which they fatten. It would be an insult to us for the AVestern farmer and laborer to ask us to join the republican party, be cause memory will not sleep; so, also, for the same reason it would be useless for us to tell them to join us under the democratic banner, hence the need of anew party, under whose banner all wealth producers may unite to wage one last desperate battle with plutocracy. If we lose this fight, farewell Lib erty and Hope, for never again will the common people dare lift their hand or voice against their lordlv masters. Hewers of wood and drawers of water, a nation of cow ardly slaves, fearing to oppose lest answered by the sharp crack of the Pinkertons’ rifle, plutocracy’s answer to labor’s demand for bread. Now, look the situation fairly nnd squarely in the face ; no dodging. Are you not personally responsible for this state of affairs? Did you not vote it upon yourself? Nothing but votes made this law—made de pression and want. You were 21 years old when yen voted or you ought not to have voted. Nobody compelled you to vote it in. You were the boss then. You are the boss now. V oer vote now can undo what it then fastened upon you. Take your choice, but blame no body but yourself. If you can stand it, no doubt it suits the money-bugs just as it is. They are happy and contented. Are you? No ! fellow-laborers, cast aside all prejudice and sentiment—the situa tion is too grave. Stir up the smouldering fires of patriotism; Stand up and be men once more. Study the situation and do your duty accordingly. Plant your standard firmly upon a foundation of justice and inscribe upon your banner in words of living flame : “Equal Rights to all and Spe cial Privileges to none,” and vote according to principle. Guy Taylor. Lorane, Ga., Aug., 1892. County Organizations. Clubs ought to be formed at once in every militia district in every county in Georgia. Keep things warm, THE PEOPLES PAETY. State Platform, Adopted at Atlan ta, July 20th, 1892. We endorse and reaffirm the preamble, resolutions and platform adopted by the People’s Party in national convention as sembled at Omaha, July 4, 1892. AVe 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. AVe 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 first 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 justtry our co-operation; w& meet in the midst of a nation brought 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 demoralised; most of the states have been compelled to Isolate voters at polling places to prevent universal in timidation or bribery. Newspapers are largely subsidized or muzzled; public opinion silenced; business prostrated; our homes covered with mortgages; labor im poverished ; and the land concentrating in the hands of oapitalists. The urban work men ar© 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 tc 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 tbe 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 enrieh 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 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, and the supply of currency is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, 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 the 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 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 tbe 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 onlv endure as a free government while 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 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 sliall 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 mep aud women of thia country. "We declare, therefore: 1. That the union of the Labor forces ci 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. x 2. Wealth belongs to him who creates it, aud every dollar taken from industry ’with out an equivalent is robbery. “If any will not 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 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 should favor an amendment to the constitution by which all persona 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 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 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 cuKtiug 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 nok held by railroads and other corpora tions in excess of their actual needs, ano 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 sentiment 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 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 striction 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 cons.deration of the people and the reform press the legislative system known as the initiative and referendum. Eight—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 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 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 OF 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. Machine Politics. Jonesboro News. Every true, liberty loving Georgian who is not blinded by partisan pre judice, must surely feel alarmed when he reads the subsidized press of the machine Democracy. Eminent and true pa triots, like Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, have left their warnings with the people of this great republic. ‘That when party fealty rose above principle and issues were subordinated to party success, the real danger of the destruction of this government would be near at hand.” Never since the birth of this republic has the public press of Georgia been so completely under the control of ma chine politics and direction of the bosses. The great dailies of the state are under the immediate control of the the money power and corporate in stitutions that exist here and control the legislation of the country. Even in our last legislature, though two-thirds of its members were com mitted to the policy of correcting the abuses of syndicates and com bines, yet they were handicaped and beset by lobbyists; working in the in terest of corporate institutions, until they were unable to make a single law, that would in the least operate against the interests of the corporate powers. The editor of the Macon County Citizen has been boycotted so much of late by the People’s Party men that he is awful mad, and threatens to do violence. He says he will have to cease friendly relations with them sooner or later, and it is best to do it now r .
