THEM JIMS.
BY EMMA GHENT CURTIS.
[Recited by the author before a Denver
audience on the occasion of the great
mass meeting, and received with thun
derous applause.]
There'll be two Jims in this campaign—
Jim Weaver and Jim Field ;
These are the sort of iightin’ stock
That neither fly no yield.
There ain’t no airs about ’em,
Nor aristocratic whims;
They're the plainest sort of fellers—
These two honest, earnest Jims.
When the nation had its little fuss,
Some thirty years ago,
Jim Weaver wore blue blue toggery—
Jim Field wore gray, you know ;
They made many a furious dash then
At each other’s heads and limbs,
But they are marchin’ hand in hand to
day—
Them re-united Jims.
They have learned that while they prac
ticed
Givin’ each other tell in’ strokes,
That the gold-bugs was a robbin’ them
And all the other folks ;
That they wanted to keep ’em fightin’
And singin.’ battle hymns ;
But the time is past when the gold-bugs
Can fool them thoughtful Jims.
As I said, them Jims is fightin’ stock,
And war is in their blood ;
And it’s just as hard to stop ’em
As it is to stop a flood ;
But they are done with fratricidal war
That the nation's glory dims ;
They’re goin’ to fight plutocracy—
Them re-united Jims.
Them Jims is not the sort of chaps
That slink their country’s cause,
And think more of what they’re eatin’
Than they do of helpful laws.
They don’t fill theirselves with liquid,
In which a hornet swims,
Till they have the jumpin’ jimjams—
Them sober, decent Jims.
Them Jims is both determined
That the poor shall have a chance,
And not have to pay the fiddler
While the stuck-up gold-bugs dance.
The toilers soon shall share the wealth,
, In which old Shy lock swims ;
And they nearly laugh themselves to
death —
Just tbinkiu’ bout them Jims.

PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1892.
The Brotherhood of Man.
The Voice.
The brotherhood of man is some
thing more than a beautiful senti
ment; it becomes a stern and almost
appealing fact when such a pesti
lence begins to stalk at noonday.
What have we in common with the
filthy lowermost classes in India, re
siding near the mouth of the Gan
ges? Is it anything to us what sort
of life the outcasts in Teheran, Per
sia, lead? Why should we bother
our brains or hearts over the lack of
sanitary regulations in the interior
of Russia, leagues away from rail
roads, in towns where no European
or American tourist ever wanders ?
“What’s Hecuba to him or he to
Hucuba,” when Hecuba lives in
squalor and filth and rags, an outcast
Jewess in Russia, and he is a rail
road magnte residing on Murray Hill
in New York? Ah! how the pesti
lence answers that question, and with
what emphasis it repeats the words
of Paul, “and hath made of one
blood ail nations of men for to
dwell on all the face of the earth!”
Last year there was elation and re
joicing in this country that whereas
we had a tremendous wheat crop,
the crop in Russia was a failure, and
we have been counting up the mil
lions that we made out of Russia’s
misfortune. Suppose we wait till
the chapter is finished. The failure
of the Russian wheat crop meant
famine; famine prepared the way
fur pestilence; pestilence has now
overleaped national boundaries and
has begun its march in Europe.
Unless it can be stayed, it means
disordered industries, a collapse for
a shorter or longer period in com
merce, a greatly diminished demand
for American products, and, possibly,
devastation of homes and demorali
zation of industries in our own land.
In the long run, will we lose or gain
by the failure of the Russian wheat
crop ? Throwing aside all senti
ment, all moral and religious consid
erations, all philanthropic feelings, is
it not terribly true that the vilest,
measliest, sorest-eyed sinner begging
for backsheesh in the far orient,
without apparently one ray of intel
ligence to disturb his complacency in
the midst of slime and vermin, has a
direct connection with every other
member of the human race, and, in
self-defense, it becomes our business,
if possible, to improve his condition
and enlighten his mind, or that of
his child? We have heard a good
many sermons on the brotherhood of
man, but when the cholera gets to
preaching on that subject it makes
an impression that the most eloquent
divine cannot hope to reach.
Alabama Democracy. .
Alabama Herald, Sept. 1,
When the polls were closed Sat
urday the boasts were made that all
who refused to participte in the
primary were debarred from future
fellowship with the organized color
ed Caucasian Democracy. When it
was ascertained that only about 50
per cent, of the white vote in the
city and 30 per cent, in the country
had participated, and were entitled
to fellowship, the blowers ceased to
pipe that tune. How the demon
strated wishes of the common masses
of the common people do pulverize
the great and good! and what a sud
den flop do they take from their
lofty perch, when they read the
handwriting on the wall! Can not
the bosses ever realize how com
pletely and fully they are ignored
and opposed by the people? How
long will their unbridled audacity
torment and afflict a long suffering
people? Why can not they compre
hend the meaning of all the admoni
tions and the square open antago
nism that knocks them silly at every
opportunity, for it to strike them.
They are like a brood of puppies
that will not open their eyes, and as
each one has his eyes opened by
having his brains knocked out the
others still hold tight their eyes
awaiting their time to have their
eyes opened by the same process.
Let them look on and bide their
time. The process of opening their
eyes will continue until they shall
be as effectual when practiced on
them as those who have gone be
fore. Their eyes will be opened in
November if their brains have to be
knocked out to open them.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,
Col. Peek will speak at Cox’s Cross
Roads, Fulton county. The good
People’s party citizens have arranged
for a free dinner for all who attend.
The speakers "will be met at Bolton
in the morning and carried to the
grounds. Speakers disengaged for
that day will confer a favor by ad
dressing A. W. Cox, Woodward P.
0., Georgia.
Notice to P. P. Men.
Cannot the county committeemen
and other zealous workers in the re
form cause interest themselves in
collecting a quarter or a dime from
each earnest P. P. man for campaign
purposes? The enemy say that we
will fail for want of election funds.
We neither seek nor desire a corrup
tion fund, but we do need a fund to
disseminate reform literature and to
pay the expenses of the speakers.
It is the people’s fight; let the peo
ple sustain it. Send contributions to

Committee, 117| Whitehall Street,

TEE PEOFLESPAKTY.
State Platform, Adopted at Atlan-
ta, July 20th, 1892.
We endorse and reaffirm the preamble,
resolutions and platform adopted by the
People’s Party ip rational convention as
wem bled 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 ail, and special privileges to
none.
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.
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.
Assem nled u pon the one hundred and six
teen! h 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 G od,
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
jusOTy 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 pox, legislatures,
congress, and. touches even the ermine of
the oencn.
The people are demoralized ; most of the
states nave been compelled to isolate v iters
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 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 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, which has been accepted as
coin since tlie 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 control hug 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, fives
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 t.he 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 th®
hands of "the plain people” with whose
class it originated.
We asset* ou* te he i4satig»i
with the purposes of the national constitu
tion—to form a more perfect union and es
tablish justice, in sure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote
tbe general welfare and secure the bless
ings of liberty for ourselves and* our pos
terity. We deciare that this republic can
only' endure as a free government while
built upon the love of the whole people for
each other, and for the nation; that it can
not ba 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 arc 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. While our sym
pathies, as a party of reform, are naturailv
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 wifi 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 Uniied 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.” 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 whicn all persons
engaged in the government service shall bo
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 toe 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 ail
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 tor public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1. v
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
trv should ba kept as much as possible in the
bands 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 tor the trans
mission of news, snould be owned and op
erated by the government in the interest of
the people, . .
The ’and, Including all the natural
•‘sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the
people and should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes, ana alien ownership
of land should be prohibited. All lands
now held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs, amt
all lands now owned by aliens should
reclaimed by the government and held lOJ
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 elect ions 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 ana liberal pensions to ex-Uuion
soldiers and sailors.
Fourth—Resolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor unaer
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 Fympa
thize with the efforts of orga dzed 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 ajmy of mercena
ries, known as the Pinkerton system, us 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 par y organization of
the people unaffected b • the interests of those
in public service does hereby 7 in national con
vention assembl< dat 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.
Resolved, That this-convention sympathizes
witn 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.
NOTICE.
Please do not send us checks so

A New Novel by Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly, and a chance to help
the People’s Party.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly has justwrit
ten a new book, a novel, entitled “The
Golden Bottle.”
He has prepared this romance with a
view to helping the People’s Party
movement; not only by making the
story illustrate the great questions of
rhe day—the land-loan, the demoneti
zation of silver, government ownership
of railroads, and the universal era of
reform that will follow in the footsteps
of the triumph of the People’s Party;
but also by arranging with his publish
ers and cutting down profits from the
price of every book sold by orders sent
to the undersigned, so that one-half the
purchase price will go to the Campaign
Fund of the People’s Party. That is
to say, if any person orders the book
from our Committee, and sends $1.25
fora bound copy, or 50 cents fora copy
in paper covers, one-half of the amount
so sent will be turned into the cam
paign fund of the People’s Party of the
United States, to be used in distribut
ing documents and paying expenses of
speakers, and the other half will be
sent to the publishers, who will for
ward the book, by mail, to the pur
chasers, prepaid.
Those who have read the book in
manuscript, say that it is a wonderfully
interesting story, bfised on an original
conception and putting forth very
singular and remarkauie ideas. If it
has anything like the sale of Mr. Don
nelly’s other books, it will yield a large
revenue to the People’s Party. We
urge every friend of the cause not only
to subscribe himself, but to request bis
friends and neighbors to do so. I hey
will get a book at tbe regular price,
which they would probably desire to
buy anyhow, and besides helping along
the campaign of the People’s Parly.
Let every one help in this good work.
Remember that this is not done to se
cure a sale for the book, for it will sell
anyhow, but to help the cause oi Re
form, even at the risk of lessening the
sale of the book in other quarters.
“ The Golden Bottle ” will not be
ready for two or three weeks, but send
