Mr. Walter 11. Lowe’s connection with this paper having ceased, all lubscriptions and all sums due for tdvertising will hereafter be paid to the undersigned. D. N. Sanders, Sec. an Treas. People’s Party Paper Company. THE SUPREME COUNCIL. The Executive Board of the Na tional Farmers Alliance and Indus trial Union have decided to hold the lext meeting of the Supreme Coun cil at Memphis, Tenn., on the third Tuesday in November (15th). Ap plications have been made to all rail ways for special rates. In view of the denial by Mr Cleveland in last Sunday’s Constitu tion, it may be pertinent to say that bo charge stated in his letter is new. That about Fred Douglas was made En a letter from Col. Washington written almost immediately after the Chicago nomination, and was exten sively copied. Mr. Cleveland admits the facts, but says Douglas was an official, and entitled to the courtesy. In this Mr. Cleveland misrepresents. Douglas had been replaced many months by another man as register bf deeds, and it does not appear that lhe other man was a guest of Mr. Cleveland’s wedding reception. If it were simply official recognition, the then incumbent of the office was wrongly slighted. THE GEORGIA ELECTION. The People’s Party Parer goes to press without being able to report lhe result of the election on Wednes day. The paper must be printed Thursday night, and details are not at hand upon which to base an esti mate of the People’s vote. It is evident that the estimate of the Democratic dailies is very much above the truth. It is equally evi dent that the returns will show the defeat of Col. Peek and his ticket. plain fact is that the colored vote is counted largely for organized Democracy. What influence or reason effected this result is not so evident as the fact, and need not be discussed until definite reports of the election are accessible. Another fact more plain is that there was a very large percentage of the white vote that did not go to the polls. Why, it is also best to discuss when the facts are all m. In Atlanta, the registration was about 7,750 of possibly 15,000 male adults competent to register. Os this registration, less than half voted. It appears that the abstainers were principally People’s party sympathiz ers. Why ? In some of the nearby counties, the vote was equally light, and the result as much a problem as in Ful ton. The People failed to be represent ed in proportion to membership. For a new party, making its first canvass, the People have gained much. Three months old, and mak hg the organized Democracy hump n Georgia! PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1892. SEE THEM SQUIRM. Below our readers will find an article from the National Watchman which Mr. Watson used at Conyers and Gainesville. The occasion was the public re ception at the house of Gen. Fitz hugh Lee, governor of Virginia, dur ing the fair in 1886. Observe how Mr. Findley asks Mr. Cleveland about another matter entirely, and gets a positive denial. If Mr. Findley is really hungering after the truth let him ask Mr. Cleveland the following questions. 1. Why did you at eleven o’clock at night cancel the engagement which you already had made for your ladies to be present in Rich mond on the next day? 2. Why did you render no ex cuse at the time? 3. Why did you not correct the Democratic newspapers of Rich mond when they charged you with cancelling the engagement because yoti learned that Miss Winnie Davis would take pan in the public recep tion? 4. "Why did Dan Lamont, when these charges were brought to his knowledge, content himself with say ing “The ladies did not choose to go?” Why did he not give the real ex cuse and contradict the false charge? If Mr. Findley is really anxious to sift this matter, let him re-state his case to Col. Cleveland of Gray-Ga ble-ends so as to bring it within range of what I said. When he shall have done this let him ask Col. Cleveland the questions 1 have outlined and give us the bene fit of the Colonel’s answer. T. E. W. “ NOT A SINGLE IOTA OF TRUTH.” SO PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CHARACTERIZES ONE OF WATSON’S STATEMENTS. Atlanta Constitution. Gainesville, Ga., October 1. —Editor Constitution: I enclose correspondence between vV. F. Findley and Hon. Grover Cleveland, which please publish in Sun day's issue and oblige yours, L. D. Puckett. MR. FINDLEY TO MR. CLEVELAND. Gainesville, Ga., September 24, 1892. Hon. Grover Cleveland, Buzzard’s Bay, Mass.: Hon. Thomas E. Watson, mem ber of Congress from the tenth district of Georgia and People’s party nominee for re-election, said in a public address, “ That Mrs. Grover Cleveland refused to attend the unveiling of the statue to Gen. Robert E. Lee at Richmond, Va., giving as her reason, ‘ She said she would be forced to meet Miss Winnie Davis, daugh ter of President Jefferson Davis,’ on that occasion.’ Os course I do not believe this “ rot,” but as his followers are industriously cir culating the charge to day, I address you this inquiry to know if she ever gave ut terance to the statement quoted. By kindly answering the above you will oblige, very truly yours, W. F. Findley, MR. CLEVELAND TO MR. FINDLEY. Gray Gables, Buzzard’s Bay, Mass. September 27, 1892. W. F. Findley, Gainesville, Ga: My Dear Sir: I have re ceived your letter of September 24, bring ing to my attention the newest falsehood which has been circulated on the South ern stump for the purpose of prejudicing Democrats, against the support of their ticket in this canvass. There is not one single iota of truth in the story, which in your letter you at tribute to the Hon. Thomas E. Watson in a public speech. Very truly yours, Grover Cleveland. CLEVELAND AND MISS DAVIS. National Watchman. After a careful examination of the Washington, Richmond and New York papers with reference to the reason why Mrs. Cleveland did not accompany the ex-President on his visit to the Virginia State Fair in Ootober, 1886, there is but one conclusion She did not attend be cause Miss Winnie Davis was there, a guest of Governor Lee’s, and was to have taken part in the reception to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Invitations had been ex tended and accepted, and Governor Lee had spent bothtime and money in prepar ing for the occasion, when about eleven o’clock on the night previous to the day of reception the following curt letter was received from President Cleveland. Washington, D. C , October 20,1886, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Richmond, Va. Mrs. Cleveland aud the ladies will not accompany me to Richmond, and my en gagements are made to return to Wash ington at an early hour. I regret that I am compelled to forego attending a re ception at your house on the occasion. (Signed) Grover Cleveland. Rumor at once took up the matter and it was openly charged that Ntiss Davis’ presence was the cause of Mrs. Cleve land's remaining at home. In fact, it is stated that the matter became so serious as to form the topic of a cabinet meeting, and that measures looking to a pacifica tion were vigorously applied. Mr. Cleve land never denied it, and when Dan La mont was questioned, he replied that “ Mrs. Cleveland did not choose to at tend.” Mr. Cleveland would like to use the solid South, but he proposes to have it keep strictly “ off the grass.” The Campaign in Kansas. The People's papers in Kansas are circulating in a two-page sup plement two very notable speeches. One page is devoted to the speech of Hon. P. B. Plumb, in the Senate in April, 1888, when discussing the Democratic measure to purchase bonds. The part dealing with con traction is here reproduced : But this contraction of the cur rency, by means of the retirement of national-bank circulation, has been going on for more than ten years, and all the committee has to say now is that it has considered some bill, but it is not yet completed. If the committee will. not complete some measure, the Senate must. If the i Senate will not, and if the other House will not, then the country is going upon the breakers of financial dis turbance. As a Senator says in my hearing, it is there now. I think it is there now. We are dealing with a question which has more to do with the welfare of the people of the U nited States, which is of more con cern to them than any other thing that is pending in either House of Congress, or which can be pending— the volume of the circulating medium of the country, the value of its pro perity, the difference between debt and bankruptcy, on the one band, and freedom from debt and prosper ity on the other. It is estimated that there are in cir culation, including that which is lock ed up in the treasury and held in banks as a reserve fund, about 1,600 million dollars of all kinds of curren cy of the United States, gold and silver, the overplus of gold and sil ver certificates, greenback notes, and national bank notes, all told, and their are more than 60 billion dol lars of property which must finally bo measured by this volume of cur rency. It has been contracted dur ing the last year more than 5 per cent, in addition to all that has oc curred by reason of abrasion and loss. No man can tell the volume of green backs outstanding. Nominally it is 346 million dollars and a fraction, but that volume has been subject to all the accidents which have occurred during the past 25 years, whereby money has been consumed, worn out, lost, and it is doubtful if the amount is really over 300 million dollars to day. But saying nothing about that, the retirement of the national-banking circulation during the past twelve months has been five per cent, of the total amount of currency outstanding. There has been during that period a phenomenal depreciation of the prices of property. There has been the greatest depreciation of the price of agricultural products the country has ever known. The contraction of the currency by five per cent, of its volume means the depreciation of the property of the country three billion dollars. Debts have not only increased, but the means to pay them have dimin ish sd in proportion as the currency has been contracted. Events based upon non-legislation have proved of advantage to lenders, but disastrious to borrowers. Mr. Ingalls’ speech was in favor of free coinage, January 14, 1891, his last great effort before his retirement from the Senate. Discussing these prevailing conditions, he said: Labor and capital should not be antagonists, but allips rather. They should not be opponents and enemies, but colleagues and auxiliaries, whose co-operating rivalry, Js essential to national prosperity. But I cannot forbear to affirm that a political sys tem which under’such despotic power can be wrested from the people and vested in the few is a Democracy only in name, A financial system under which more than one-half of the enormous wealth of the country, derived from the bounty of nature and the labor of all, is owned by a little more than 20,000 people, while 1,000,000 American citizens, able and willing to toil, are homeless tramps starving for bread, requires adjust ment. A SOCIAL SYSTEM WHICH OF FERS TO TENDER, VIRTUOUS AND IN DEPENDENT WOMEN THE ALTERNA TIVE BETWEEN PROSTITUTION AND SUICIDE AS AN ESCAPE FRON BEGGARY is organized Crime, for which some day unrelenting justice will demand atonement and explanation. Mr. President, the man who loves his country and who studies her his tory will search in vain for any na tional cause for this appalling condi tion. The earth has not forgotten to yield an increase. There has been no general failure of harvests. We have had benignant skies and the early and the late rain. Neither famine nor pestilence has decimated our population nor wasted its ener gies. Immigration is flowing in from every land, and we are in the lusty prime of national youth and strength, with unexampled resources and every stimulus of their develop ment ; but, sir, the great body of the American people are engaged to-day in studying these problems that I have suggested in this morning hour. They are disheartened with misfor tune. They are tired of the exac tions of the speculators. They de sire peace and rest. They are turn ing their attentian to the great indus trial questions which underlie their material prosperity. They are in different to party. They care noth ing for Republicanism nor for De mocracyjas such. They are ready to say, “A plague on both your houses,” and they are ready, also, Mr. President, to hail and to wel come any organization, any measure, any leader that promises them relief from the profitless strife of politicians and this turbulent and distracting agitation which has already culmi nated in violence and may end in blood. Such, sir, is the verdict which I read in the elections from which we have just emerged; a verdict that was un expected by the leaders of both par ties, and which surprised alike the victors and the vanquished. It was a spontaneous, unpremeditated pro test of the people against existing conditions. It was a revolt of the national conscience against injustice; a movement that is full of pathos and also full of danger, because such movements sometimes make victims of those who are guiltless. It was not a Democratic victory. It was a great upheaval and uprising, in- dent of and superior to both, s a crisis that may become a ophe, filled with terrible ad r, but not without encourage c those who understand aud toy to co-operate with it. A Fictitious War Debt. At the close of the late civil war, the national debt was about $3,000,- 000,000. The people generally sup pose that this entire sum was neces sarily spent in supporting the govern ment and putting down the rebellion, in addition to the regular income of the government. This is very far from the truth. Full one-half of this enormous debt represented com missions on bonds, interest on bonds, aud discounts on government money in buying coin to pay interest, etc., c . total expenditure of the gov e or 1862 were $475,000,000. ng to the report of the Sec - f the Treasury, $13,000,000 was for interest on the public 5 4,000,000 of it was discount, n n ,000,000 received for taxes, leaving only $341,000,000 of a debt. In 1863 the expense of the govern ment was $715,000,000. Os this sum interest, discount and taxes make up $310,000,000, leaving a balance of actual debt of $.405,000,- 000. In 1864 the public expenditures were $865,000,000. Os this sum $78,000,000 was paid in interest, $405,000,000 on discount, and $264,- 000,000 received from taxes, leaving only $118,000,000 legitimate public debt. The public expenditures for 1865 amounted to $1,297,000,000. Os this sum $77,000,000 was interest, $389,000,000 discount, and $338,- 000,000 taxes received, leaving only $493,000,000 net honest public debt. If the government had continues the policy inaugurated in 1861, of meeting the public expenditures, over and above taxes, by the issue of legal tender currency, there would have been at the close of the war $1,257,- 000,000 government paper money in circulation, and not a dollar of public debt. From this showing it is clear that the people were robbed of over $2,000,000,000 daring the war, that this robbery has been going on ever since in the form of interest on an unnecessary public debt, and that we still owe, after having paid over $5,- 000,000,000 principal and interest, nearly as much as the actual cost of the government during the war. This money has gone out of the pockets of the producing classes, into the pockets of the non- producing classes, through a system of financial legerdemain deliberately planned and persistently carried out. When a man says justice should be done, hit him with an egg. Honors Easy. The Silver State. It is reported that the Bank of England has contributed $500,000, and two banks at Berlin an equal amount to “our American campaign fund,” to be equally divided between the two wings of the gold standard party. The European gold-bug papers speak of the presi dential contest in this country as “our American campaign” as glibly and familiarly as the Republicans “point with pride” or the Democrats declare “silver be damned”. The manufacturers of Eastern cities have added half a million to the Republi can fund and the Standard oil trust has planked down half a million to quiet Tammany in the interest of the stuffed buzzard. We may expect Mr Strother back now in a few days with five or six hundred dollars to hold the combine in the West in the party traces. It is thought by chair man Carter, that this sum will be ample to keep up the organization of the bolters as the Silver party and its candidates will not spend a nickel to debauch the unsuspecting or to buy the sell-out members of bolting conventions 'or committees. All that is required by the administra tion of the Republicans in this State is to keep enough in the traces so as to have a State central committee in th3 event of Harrison’s re-election. No showing at the polls is expected, as the Silver party has such over whelming ma ority. But it is hoped that the “silver-craze” will subside after this election and that the grand old party in Nevada may recuperate within the next two years and send a gold-bug to Congress instead of Mr. Newlands. The lazy, lousey, sack hunting snoozers in the West will be a little ashamed of themselves when they ascertain that they must be content with dividing five or six hundred dollars between them as their reward for their base treachery to the State and the silver cause. Chairman Carter was engaged in the cattle business in Montana several years ago and he is thorougly posted on the value of long ears and oreanas. If a man says labor is noble and holy, howl him down. FLO WEBS. At Augusta a large quantity of flowers were received by Mr. Watson, but so many cards were lost off that it is impos sible to name ail the donors.

Mr. Editor: Our most danger ous foes are those who profess a friendship for the Alliance and form a confidence among the brethren and then betray that confidence by smooth advice to vote for men just because they belong to our party, who are opposed to every Alliance principle. Among those most damaging to our cause are partizan plutocratic jour nals. They come like the midnight assassin and with their secret poison puncture the bladder they have set as a decoy to deceive the unwary. They play the part of confidence men, such as we find in New York and other large cities. Notable among those journals who have damaged the re form movement the most is the State Chronicle and the Atlanta Constitu on. These journals were once in tifavor of the free coinage; now hey are willing to add more silver o the silver dollar at the behests of our alien creditors and home money mongers. There is not a principle or policy even in their own party. They are not willing to forfeit for success, which means place and plunder, and how can an Alliance man expect them to adhere to Alli ance principles? A partisan, either as a journalist or a candidate for of fice, or as a mere voter, is a time server ready to sell principle, honor, justice, right and his country for par ty success. Then all journalists, can didates for office or voters who are partisan will betray every confidence imposed in them by an honest, un suspecting people. So when you see a journal professing the principles of the Alliance as the State Chronicle, the News and Observer and the At lanta Constitution once did, and the North Carolinian now does, they al ways do it with a proviso to help my self to subscriptions or to switch off some of the Alliance vote into old ranks. We say always, but they may be honest and sincere at first, but when the party slogan of battle is sounded every position is deserted at once which may hinder individual or party success. To such a foul depth has party journalism descend ed that no man can conduct such a paper without resting under the shadow of being a dishonest hypo crite. Beside the party press who are ready to betray, there are partisan Alliancemen in public position. They, too, become party servers and time servers. They would advise y&i to vote for Cleveland or Harrison, the i most antagonistic enemies of the Al liance in the nation, to vote for any man, black or white, Democrat or Republican, so he is a nominee of the party, regardless of all principle. These parties profess to have a prin ciple away back in the vaults of the past, but what account are they when they hold no principle of the present sacred? The honest man and the honest party will stand to his principles, either in victory or defeat, but the man or the party who measures his principles by the rule of success is a moral skunk and a slavish, venal coward. We were much rejoiced to see such able and influential journals as the State Chronicle and the Atlanta Constitution admit the justice of the grievances complained of by the plain people of America, and espe cially the people of our own section, and still would rejoice if they would not repudiate these well-meant decla rations and advocate men for office hostile enemies thereunto. But they strip their backs to the party lash and bow cringing at the feet of king gold. Will S. B. Alexander, Elias Carr, R. J. Powell, J. J. Young, J. B. Holman, N. M. Culbreth, A. 11. A. Williams, B. F. Grady, W. A. Branch and others tell us why they advocate the election of Grover Cleveland and others hostile to every essential demand of the Alli ance, if not on partisan grounds? A man is a man who follows his prin ciples and endorses them wherever found. An Allianceman is a true Allianceman who endorses his prin ciples wherever found. The Alli ance did not come to bring office. It come to bring right and justice. Right and Justice is often found in the woeful minority. Shall the Al liance desert its principles because it is too weak sometimes to elect? God forbid! “The battle is not always to the strong. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of men.” It certainly pains us to see so many makeshift arguments made as an excuse to wave certain rights to the people. It shows to what a low depth of moral degradation partisan politics has brought this country at last. It also shows what a righte ous cause has the non-partisan Alli ance, and what a black host of moral enemies stand ready to do battle against it. Like the protestants in the Lutheran reformation, institu tions crusted with age and seething with crime are fighting against it to preserve life. Mammon and all his hosts are fighting us. The protest ants of Germany stood firm amid fire, blood and smoke, though the biack clouds of desolation rolled over them and their enemies gather ed around them as thick as the frogs ot Egypt. They offered them gold aud office, happiness and promotion, and many went astray but those whose faith was grounded in the truth stood firm and American free dom and Christian civilization are due to their moral courage to-day. 1 o the Alliance standing firm to principle wherever found belongs a moral political revolution no less weighty and momentous. Will it be equal to the responsibility? Will it like the protestauts of Germany stand the fire of the enemy? They sneak around with gold in one hand and office in the other. They frighten; they intimidate, they lie and slander. Upon the destruction of the Alliance rests the hopes of plutocracy. De stroy this and its last enemy is de stroyed ; every vestige of popular rights is destroyed and hell reigns supreme. This is not an overdrawn picture. The churches are powei less to correct political turpitude and is only waiting to be drawn in the same cesspool. Protestantism will sink first and a more shadowy and gaudy religion will follow and we will have re-enacted on the shores of America the tragic crimes of the fallen nation alties of the East. We repeat, our most dangerous foes are our confidence men, the allurements of gold and office. Stand by the fight of 92 and we will be thoroughly prepared by ’96. W. R* Lindsay. At Fayetteville and Greensboro. Progressive Farmer. We announced last week that General Weaver and his esteemed wife, accompanied by Mrs. Mary E. Lease, arrived here on Sunday morning, the 25th. He did not ex pect to come to our State until the 29th, the day of his Raleigh appoint ment, but having struck the bottom of the rotten IJemocracy of Geor gia at the third of his seven engage ments there, he found that be would be lowering himself and the cause he represented to efigage in any fur ther assaults upon a party which was sick unto death and upon whose body gangrene was already making such rapid progress as to insure death in a very short time. In fact, the unpleasant odor of the almost breathless corpse was that of rotten eggs, and it was so offensive that it would not, it could not possibly live longer than November 8, and tc make further warfare on it under the circumstances would be considered cowardly in the extreme. So the General and party came to North Carolina. Monday morning, the 26th, when Chairman Wilson came in he found the General in fighting trim ready to give two days’ extra work to North Carolina. Upon short consultation it was decided he should speik at Fayetteville Tuesday and at Greens boro Wednesday. These appoint ments were telegraphed from Ral eigh about 9 o’clock Monday. Tues day at noon 2,500 farmers greeted the speaker at Fayetteville. Never before in the history of this State were so many country voters drawn together in so short a time (less than 24 hours) to hear any speaker on any subject. The telegram to Greens boro announcing the appointment was miscarried, and but for the announce ment in the Progressive Farmer but few of our friends would have known' of it, still the court house was packed with a large and, with few excep tions, appreciative audience. A mi crobe from the decaying gangrenous Democracy of Georgia had floated over the Piedmont Air Line and there were evident signs that the fatal dis ease had set in in North Carolina, and the saddest of all sad things is the fact that it spread rapidly, and the persons affected by it lost their reason at once, and gave themselves over to commit such deeds as none but those frienzied by sudden death and everlasting destruction staring them in the face would be guilty of. The writer heard the speaking at both these appointments and he never saw more earnest, serious attention paid to sermons in the midst of a great revival. He never heard the truth more plainly told nor saw such effect upon the audiences. Sick De mocracy and Republicanism stood and writhed and squirmed like worms in hot embers, while many came to us rejoicing after the speak ing declaring tlmir conversion to our cause. Many others went away al most persuaded, and the enthusiasm and confidence was strengthened in those already true, so that the good which will flow out from these two meetings will keep on until every nook and corner of the State will be reached and strengthened by it. Cheer up brethren, we will most as suredly succeed if we stand firm. Lcok Out for Frauds. It is stated on reliable authority th at the Democrats of Macon county are determined to manage the elec tion and entirely ignore the People’s party. A demand has been made, but up to the present time no answer given. The Democrats held a meet ing in Montezuma Monday night last, and offered to put in a negro as one of the election managers, it is sup posed the negro is to do the dirty work of the managers. These bour bons are over-reaching the mark in their greed for control when they say that they will control the election if the managers are not killed. What has become of your boasted form of republican government? They mean to rule or ruin. Recent developments in Alabama and Arkansas has built up a strong sentiment in those States for a force bill. Our party must make a demand at once for an equal division of clerks and election man agers, so that the votes will be hon estly counted and everybody satisfied. If refused, get up a petition at once asking for Federal election supervi sors to be at the polls on Bth of No vember? Play. Hoke Smith’s paper brags that an order has oeen received from Kansas for Tad Horton’s, little edition of the libel on General Weaver. No doubt the Republicans can use it to advan tage to show how a brave Federal soldier is hounded in the South.
