This is to certify that The People’s Party Paper, during the week ending July 23d, 1892, mailed sixteen hundred and sixty-chree (1,663) pounds at this office. J. R. Lewis, P. M. The circulation is steadily increasing, and most advantageous arrangements can be made for space. THE PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. Friends, we ask you to do all you can for us in the way of new sub scribers. We have given you a first class weekly paper for nearly a year at a dead loss of ever $3,000. All this burden has fallen on Mr. Wat son. lie has not only lost $3,000 on the paper, but has given it eight months’ work free of charge. Won’t you do your share in the reform work by aiding us? Vie have had to contend with very many difficulties, and have done the very best we could. In the future we hope there will be less complaint about the mail, for we are exerting every energy to rec tify every mistake. The joint debates outlined by Mr. Watson will appear regularly in this paper, stenographically reported by Mr. Driscol. No other paper in the State has them. Help us friends. Each ought to do his part in this noble work. People’s Paper Co. ATTENTION, TENTH DISTRICT. Let every Peoples’s party candi date in the Tenth District remem ber that Air. Black has entered into agreement with Mr. Watson that every voting precinct in the dis there shall be one People’s man on the board of mana- SEE TO IT THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS OBSERVED. Demand that one of our men sit on the election at eaoh precinct, and see to it that this man is one whose intelligence and fidelity and courage are above question. He must see every vote counted and never allow the ballot box to get out of his sight. The Democrats in Sparta and Augusta especially need watching. They will do anything on earth to carry this election. Demonstrate to them in a firm, conservative spirit that the agreement between Mr. Black and myself shall be kept. Demonstrate to them that while we mean to be the cause of no trouble, we also mean to have our rights as men and as citizens. T. E. W. The campaign committee urges that every possible effort be made to get subscribers for the People’s Party Paper. It is the safest, surest and cheapest campaign work that can be done. MR.

Southern Alliance Farmer please copy. Tuos. E. Watson. September 12, 1892. PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1892. THE AMERICAS PEASANT. The above is the title of an ex tremely interesting story by' T. 11. Tibbles, published by F. J. Schulte & Co., of Chicago, being one of the Ariel Library series. The introduc tion is by Gen. Charles 11. Vanwyck. The story is of a strange race, who passed through political experiences very| like those of this country for the last thirty years, but brought to a final settlement by organization among the farmers and producers. The experience of the heroine is given by herself in an assembly en gaged in ascertaining the reason for the degradation of the people : I did not know that anything could make me speak before so mauy, she said. Her tones were tense. Noth ing but a great sorrow could give me voice. To-night it has come to me to see, as I have never seen be fore, the whole long road over which I have traveled thus far in my life. Usually it is almost as hard to see distinctly that which has passed as that which is to come. But to-night I remember—l remember every thing, and I see the significance of things. Years ago I was very happy. I thought work was a privilege. Rest was only the spice of work. Life seemed an opportunity for accom plishment. It seemed to me that I bad more energy and more happiness in me than I could find time in the short lease of life to rightly expend. When I married and went with my husband to the piece of land which we called our own, I felt as if life could hold nothing more. It is true that the ground was not really our own, but I felt that it soon would be. I told myself that all we had to do was to be patient for a little while, and to work. And it is easy to be patient and to work when there is hope in the heart. Besides, we loved the ground. We liked the smell of its fallowness. It was always a mir acle that the plants, the grains, the fruits, came up out of the ground. It was like having God speak to us. To raise a field of grain is almost like creating it. You seem for a time to be in partnership with the Creator. I did not mind rising very early in the morning and going to bed late at night. I did not mind when my body ached and my head was dizzy with fatigue. I continually saw in my mind’s eye the beautiful field we were rescuing from the wild. My responsibilites grew year by year. But I subdued the body. I thought only of our independence. I was will ing to bear my full share of the bur den. I have helped to plow, to sow, to reap. But 1 could not stand it to see him I loved so bowed with labor, and do nothing to help him. His face seemed to me to be changing every day. It was growing haggard. Besides, it had a look of being con quered. I sometimes thought it look ed like the face of a slave. That, more than anything else, pierced my heart. My happiness was gone. It was not that I was tired of work, or that I was afraid of the responsibil ities that had come upon me. It was that I could not see the end—it was impossible to longer anticipate any fortunate result—l was begin ning to lose ray hope. My hands, when I looked at them, I discovered to be hard. They had lost their shapeliness. And I bad always so loved beautiful forms. When I look ed in the glass I had to confess that my beauty was gone. No grace was left me, only a terrible capacity for work. Sometimes I feared my hus band would think of me no other way than as a drudge. I used often to think of the children of my neighbors who were growing up around me, and to be thankful that I had none. For what knowledge of beauty, of courtesy, could I have given them in the midst of this incessant drudgery ? Life to them must have seemed noth ing better than a servitude. They would have seen the toil, but they coaid not have seen the benefits aarising from “it. Indeed, it was the some with ourselves, It was not strange that when, day after day, we lived without pleasure, diversion or luxury, our lives began to grow grim and sad, and even devoid of gracious ness. I have sometimes thought the very tones of our voices changed. The modulations are gone. That is the result of a frightful monotony. The vivacity also has vanished. We do not laugh. We are old before our time. And now, after these years of sacrifice, after having given our selves up to continual labors, after having gene without all that makes life lovely—without travel, and music, and books, and pictures; without leisure for friendship, or even con templation ; without reserve of strength, over and above our daily tasks, even for worship—l face the fact that we are no nearer the end of our toil than the day our tasks began. Our wheat has grown to plenteous harvests. It has found a ready market. Our cattle have multiplied and been sold. Our orchards have grown to fine fruition. Day and night we have worked, but there are no results. All this has brought us nothing. We have been making ropes of sand. We have been trying to fill a sieve. And now, with my youth gone, my hope killed, all the joy taken out of my heart, with pov erty my only portion, and old age only a few sad years distant, I ask, Who has got that energy I and mine gave ? That energy was an entity. It was a palpable thing. It was a possession. But it has gone. Some one else has stolen from me all of the profits of it. And lam penniless. I have been held up on the public highway. And now I think I have a right to ask who my despoilers are. Campaign Lying and Brag. National Watchman. The foolish and disgusting vice of lying with intent to deceive the peo ple, to say nothing of the base depra victy of it, is now at the height. The covering capacity, so to speak, of these campaign lies is something mar vellous. Take any leading plutocratic newspaper and read its summing up of the political situation every day for the party whose dirty work it is employed in doing for the time being. Each day the prospect brightens. All is harmony and enthusiasm in the ranks ; all in the ranks of the oppos ing. party disorder, wrangling, sulk ing desertion, confusion, and dismay. Take the case of the Maine election. Maine is a Republican State, about the vote of which in the Presidential or any other election there is not a particle of uncertainty or doubt in the mind of any sane man. The Democratic Committee have issued a congratulatory address to the people of the United States on the result of that election. Now what is that re sult ? It is that after a lazy, loung ing walkover, the Republicans have swept the field, winning everything in sight without bringing anything like their full vote. They have elect ed all the Congressmen, the whole State ticket, the legislature by an in creased majority, gaining eight or ten members. The People’s Party, only organized three weeks before election day, polled 4,000 votes, and the Prohibitionists slightly more than 3,000 votes. In all this what is there to congratulate the country upon from a Democratic standpoint or to enthuse any sane Democrat? But the mystery vanishes when we re member that the Mr. Dickinson who is Mr. Cleveland’s man on the nation al committee is the same Mr. Dick inson who, along with Mr. William Vilas, was going to carry Michigan for Mr. Cleveland at the last election, provided a certain scheme could be carried out which was carried out, A place was made in the Cabinet for Mr. Dickinson by putting Mr. Lamar on the Supreme Court, promoting Mr. William Vilas to Mr. Lamar’s place and giving the place Mr. Vilas had to Mr. Dickinson. These com pleted arrangements became a part of history, and so did the result of that Michigan election, which result was a very greatly increased major ity against Cleveland. True to Nature. Coming home from town a few days ago I found my neighbor, farm er John, engaged in digging a ditch alongside the road. He stopped me and poured into my ears a dismal tale. He said he had worked bard all the year, economized in every way, lived on poor food, and went scantily clothed, yet could not raise money enough to pay his banker the eighteen per cent. In years gone by I had tendered my sympathy, but on this occasion I looked him squarely in the eye, and said, emphatically: “Your statement causes my soul to dance with joy.” His head went down and he stam mered out; “Why I th ought-you were a friend of mine 1” “So I am John, and that is why I rejoice at your statement.” “Why, Mr. Bunder, what do you mean ?” “I mean just this: Last fall I went to the polls and cast a vote to give you money at two per cent, or double what the banker pays for the money he loans you. I did this to help just such men as you. Now what did you do? You came up to the polls arm in arm with the eigh teen per cent banker and cast your vote as he dictated. Now, sir, you voted for eighteen per cent interest, and I voted for two per cent tax and you won, I lost. Your vote killed mine dead. You got what you wanted and what you voted for, while I did not. Now, John, don’t you think 1 would be a chump if I did not feel glad when you get what you want and what you vote for? Shake, neighbor.” John did not shake then but mum bled cut something I did not quite understand. Passing his place yes terday, he called out to me: “Mr. Bunder, I wish to speak to you.” “What is it John?” I asked. “I have been thinking about what you told me and I want to say to you right here and now, that I will never kill your vote again.” SAMPLE COPIES. We receive a great many requests for bundles of papers for distribu tion. While we are perfectly willing to send a sample copy to any one desiring it, we are not able to fur nish the paper to subscribers at cost and at the same time send out large numbers of papers free. We will, however, send bundles of papers at actual cost to those who wish to dis tribute them in aid of the campaign. Notice to P. P. Men.

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.

Main and Casey Sts., Mt. Vernon, 11l —OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE People’s Party of the United States of America. Hotel Richelieu. St. Louis, Mo., August 20, 1892. 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 the 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 bis 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 for a bound copy, or 50 cents for a 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, based on an original conception and putting forth very singular and remarkable 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 tne cause not only to subscribe himself, but to request his friends and neighbors to do so. They will get a book at the regular price, which they would probably desire to buy anyhow, and besides helping along the campaign of the People’s Party. 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 of 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 in names and money at once. There is likely to be a great demand for copies of the book, and they will be sent out in the order in which the names are received—first come first served.
