NOT A POPULIST BUT A DEMOCRAT
Mr. Miller, of Wisconsin, recently
introduced 41 Hills into the House
outlining the scheme of Pantocracy.
A crazier lot of stuff was never
seen. Washing, ironing, nursing,
spanking the babies and everything
else is to be done by the Govern
ment. Democratic papers are ridi
culing the laws and asserting that
Miller is a Populist.
No such thing. He is a shining
light in that assembly of frauds and
pretences known as “the dear old
Democratic party.”
A POPULIST STATESMAN.
Mr. Miller of Wisconsin, he's the very
man to win,
He’s helping out the people by the bills
he’s shoving in.
And if they do not like ’em they w ill
have to sit and grin,
For we’re all for Mr. Miller of Wisconsin.
He’s going to run the country on an
economic plan;
To make the hotels public: now we
wonder if he can !
And we’ve come to the conclusion he’s
the nicest sort of man,
And we’re all for Mr. Miller of Wisconsin.
Just think of having washing done with
out a cent to pay ;
Os eating paid by Government three
solid times a day !
Now, wouldn’t that be glorious? We’re
happy on the way.
And we’re all for Mr. Miller of Wisconsin.
And then just think of Congress, that’s
so fond of long digression,
When they vote by electricity and
shorten up the session I
Mr. Miller, Mr. Miller,we are yours be
yond expression ;
We’re all for Mr. Miller of Wisconsin.

RAILROAD STRIKE POSSIBLE.
Superintendent Wadley has, if
reports be true, declined to treat
with the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. Already he has ordered
the discharge of the representative of
the order who acted as spokesman,
and it seems impossible for any ad
justment to be effected without a
complete backdown by one party to
the controversy. Which will recede
it is now impossible to tell. There
is evidently an intention to test the
cohesiveness of the railroad labor
organizations in the South, as a step
toward their utter obliteration. The
remark of the Constitution, some
weeks ago, that “a tight between the
roads on the one hand, and the labor
organizations on thejjtther, would
raean the death oi eitsß’ the corpor
ations or the orders,” was evidently
inspired by the railroads, and there
is little doubt that the roads think

ANOTHER BOND SCHEME.
Congressman Tom Johnson, of
Ohio, has introduced a bill in Con
gress to refund the bonded indebted
ness. It provides for interconverti
ble 2 per cent bonds, which may be
exchanged at the option of the holder
for treasury notes issued under the
silver purchase act of 1890. The
new bonds to serve any of the pur
poses of the bonds now out. The
scheme is intended to give “flexi
bility” to the currency. It would
really place the volume more abso
lutely under control of the bond
holders than the present system. A
clause is inserted to stop purchases
of silver. Mr. Johnson hopes to see
his proposition so popular as to pass
the next Congress.
AGAINST EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Tuesday the United States Senate
twice refused to go into executive
session. If followed out, this may
defeat a number of appointments
made by the retiring administration,
and will delay action on the rash
proposition to annex Hawaii. If
secrecy were altogether eliminated
from the sessions of the Senate, the
unpopularity of that body with the
people would no doubt diminish.
The people have a right to know
when their representatives take coun
sel in their affairs.
McDuffie Ramblings.
Had you thought of it? If you
have not rub up your “specks” and
look in on the Populist representa
tives—only ten out of three hundred
and fifty-six and only two Senators
out of eighty-eight! Not a drop in
the bucket, did you say ? But watch
and see how they are agitating
economy, pushing forward reform
measures, checking class legislation,
advocating the sovereignty of the
States and holding back on the reins
of the government, keeping the old
parties from rushing into a kingdom
of centralization and monarchy. In
fact it would not be assuming too
much to say that the ten and two
are the
BALANCE WHEEL OF THE NATION!
Democratic journals have dubbed
the People’s party as “Gideon’s

and pass-words, and the People’s

party, or if they know the difference
they publish such to deceive the peo
ple. It does keep the wool over the
eyes of some of their party —other-
wise they would be in the ranks of
People’s party. We do not mean to
say that all the wisdom and righteous
ness are in the People’s party.
There are wise men, able financiers,
in both old parties whose genius as
rulers of the government has been
acknowledged the world over, but
their views as to raising revenue
and coining money and distributing
it among the people have crystalized
into iron-clad methods, and have run
in grooves so long and have been
warped and extorted by favors to
special classes they have been
grand dictators so long they feel
they possess all the wisdom and the
inherent right to be monarchs of all
t-ney survey.
The aristocracy of the British
colony was grafted on the shores of
America—nor were they eliminated
by the war of 1776. It still holds
sway in this country by many that
the right to rule should be entailed
from sire to son. Many employers
dictate the political views of their
employees, and should they fail to
dance to the music they must hunt
another job, or if they are not dis
charged they will receive the appro
brium of their bosses, such as no
intelligent free man desires to do.
And to find this state of affairs you
need not go to Russia or Hawaii,
but right here in Georgia, and in the
Tenth district, and in McDuffie
county, and in “Democratic” Thom
son !
PROSTITUTION OF THE PUBLIC PRESS.
The freedom of the public press
to-day is both a blessing and a curse.
A blessing when it disseminates the
truth concerning men and the cur
rent events of the times; a curse
when it promulgates caricatured edi
torials, reports based* on rumor, cast
ing inuendoes on innocent men,
prejudicing the public mind against
honest men, especially those who are
of a different political faith. Take,
for instance, the Augusta
Chronicle’s report last October,
of Mr. Watson’s Stellaville speech.
Listen : “A Desperate Leader in a
Desperate Strait,” etc. The people
have in their minds yet that false
fabrication. The above is the head
ing of that famous article. It was
placed on the first page. It was
across two columns, in double-leaded
style. It said (the Chronicle) they
had it from a “reliable Source” that
Mr. Watson said so and so. The
next week the whole fabrication was
placed on an old negro’s shoulders.
See ? But it had “its effect,” said a
Democrat. Yes, it did have an effect
such an effect as never to believe
anything that famous journal says
in reference to the People’s party.
Did you, know that
• there are s#*ne i» w j ao uubibe tfiffir
gauge vanety^ nomoug Democratic
believe that vic
tory of the Populists meant “short
tenure of land ?” They think that
success of our party would result in
something like the jubilee of the
Jews, when every fifty years there
was a general division, and land re
verted to the original owners or their
heirs. They have never studied the
Populist platform, nor their own, but
get their opinions second hand.
A BAD DAY FOR STRADDLERS.
It would have saved cloth if the
“fence ridei s” had hit the grit in the
beginning of the last campaign, as
their trousers had become wellnigh
threadbare going back and forth over
the fence. But they may find great
consolation in their soliloquy, “ain’t
we glad the last flop found us on the
big side,” and then join in the party
chorus, “didn’t we kill the wolf?”
Such fellows, we imagine, possess
the same feeling as the man that
went to the other side of the train
and kept it from turning over.
We congratulate the People’s
Party Paper in having a “Diogenes”
to give us the news from Augusta.
No other paper gives us the truth in
regard to the evidence in the contest.
Think you are a strong advocate of
the Populist principle do you ? Here
in McDuffie, where there are three
or four Populists to every Democrat
(of the white voters, I mean), we
rest easy, and don’t mind being
nibbled at by the other party. And
right here let me say that a majority
for the Populists, no matter how
large, never coerces, never intimi
dates, never tramples on the rights
of minorities. How striking the
contrast between McDuffie and Rich
man d!!
McDuffie, with an overwhelming
Populist majority—no threats (by the
Populists), no intimidation, no brib
ery, no debauching with “essence,”
no repeating at the polls, no shoving
tickets in voters’ hands and dragging
to the polls, etc. Ye People’s party
men of Richmond county, all eyes
are turned toward you. Your valor,
your sincerity, your adherence to
your convictions, are admired the
country over. Be of good cheer.
Hold the fort. Cherish, if you can,
no evil, harbor no prejudice, and may
an allwise Providence remove the
scales from their eyes, that they may
see. *' J. P. L.

“At the .hands of Congress a
change of the present monetary
system, whereby money shall issue
directly to the people, and that all of
the national money shall be legal
tender for ail debts.”
No other clause in the People’s
party platform is so far-reaching in
its influence, or more nearly touches
the vital interests of the people.
Os one thing we may rest assured,
that so long as the financial legisla
tion of the country is left to be con
trolled by a class whose interests lie
in the direction of increasing and
perpetuating the indebtedness of the
country as best suits their purposes;
so long as that class retains the
control they will continue to wield
it for their own aggrandizement, ut
terly regardless of the periodically
returning panics that sweep over the
land like cyclones, leaving ruin® and
desolation in their track. And just
so long will the toiling millions of our
brothers be deprived of the full, just
fruits of their labor, and remain the
veriest dependents, the “hewers of
wood and drawers of water” for
soulless corporations that have no
heart and no pity.
The necessities of the people are
the opportunity of the privileged.
The greater their extremities, the
more inflexible are the demands.
Those who control the money of a
country control all else that it con
tains.
To-day we are confronted with
just such a spectacle.

Some Stories of Gresham.
Some months ago Judge Gresham
denied that he had been an aspirant
for a place on the supreme bench
during the preseat administration.
He and the president are old enemies.
Their enmity dates back to the time
when Judge Gresham from the bench
reproved Mr. Harrison and Mr. Har
rison from the floor talked back. If
Mr. Ghesbam did not send some of
his friends to Washington to urge his
appointment to the supreme bench
by this administration, the president
was very much deceived. He said
some time ago to a friend that five
or six men from Chicago had come
to Washington to see him, apparently
with no other object than to urge
him to appoint Judge Gresham to
the supreme bench, and he believed
that Gresham had sent them. They
told him hofr magnanimous it would
appear to the country if he appointed
his old rival to this high position.
People would say that President
Harrison was greater than his office
—that he had appointed his rival,
the man who had fought him so bit
terly for many years, regardless of
personal animosities, because he was
so well fitted to adorn the bench.
President Harrison was not influ
enced by these arguments. “In the
first place,” I he said to those gentle
men, “the abrointment does not be-'
long to the pection from which Judge
Gresham cohies. In the second place,
people wou*'d say, not that I had done
a great act, 'but that I had gone out
of my way /to truckle to my enemy.”'
So Mg. declined to turn,
the ot’J^cfc u ■

Judge a quick-tempered
man, and a4 Mr. Cleveland is also a
man of sonß irascibility it is not at
all improbi Jfle that there will be some
friction ii£ the cabinet meetings of
the new adfministration when foreign
affairs are to be discussed. Judge
Gresham’s irascibility has been shown
many times upon the bench. One
case is of record where he had sen
tenced a man to four years in the
penitentiary, and as the condemned
man was leaving the court he turned
and said something to one of the
court officials or to a friend. Judge
Gresham called him back.
“What was that you said just
now?” he asked.
“Nothing in particular,” said the
prisoner.
“I insist on knowing what you
said,” said the Judge.
“Well, I just said that the sentence
was pretty hard or something like
that,” the man replied.
“I might have given you seven
years instead of four,” said the Judge.
“Here, Mr. Clerk, alter that sentence.
Make it seven years.” And the un
fortunate man got three years addi
tional imprisonment for his comment
on Judge Gresham’s sentence.
In another case a condemned man
arose to address the court just after
sentence had been passed on him.
The Judge ordered him to sit down.
He persisted in speaking and again
the Judge ordered him to be quiet.
A third time he begged to be allowed
to make an explanation. Then Judge
Gresham turned to the clerk and
ordered the sentence changed and
increased to the full limit allowed by
law. This quieted the prisoner ef
fectually.
There are a number of cases of
this kind on record.
Judge Thompson, who was Assist
ant Postmaster-General under Gresh
am, says that the Judge’s manner is
sometimes irritable and domineering
when it is his intention to be amiable
and do a kindly act. A case in point:
One day while he was talking to a
newspaper correspondent the Post
master-General came in. He asked
what had become of the case of a
postal clerk arrested for embezzle
ment in one of the Western States.
The name of the man was Nicholson.
“He is held for trial,” said Judge
Thompson. “He has had a prelim
inary examination.”
“Well, I want you to telegraph to
the District Attorney and order the
case dropped,” said the Postmaster-
General.
Judge Thompson gasped. “This
is impossible, General,” he said.
“The matter is in the hands of the
District Attorney. We have noth
ing more to do with it.”
“But I want the case dismissed,”
said the Postmaster-General.
“I must respectfully decline to do
so,” said Judge Thompson. “The
evidemee against the man is unques
tionable. He was found with a
number of decoy letters in his pocket.
There can be no doubt about his
guilt.”
“I know all about that man,” said
the Postmaster-General impatiently.
“Then you will have to issue the
order,” said Judge Thompson. “I
must decline to do so. I refuse to
take the responsibility. It would be
a stain on my record.”
“You can say that you act by the
order of the Postmaster-General,”
said Mr. Gresham. “Telegraph the
District Attorney that the Post
master-General instructs you to
have the case nolled.”
Judge Thompson could not refuse
to do this, so the telegram was sent.
The newspaper correspondent who
had sat quietly listening to the in
terview was much surprised. Leav
ing the Post Office Department he
met a reporter for a local paper who
had at one time lived in Indianapolis
and who had known Judge Gresham
very well. His name was also
Nicholson. The correspondent stop
ped Nicholson and told him what he
had heard. Nicholson turned very
white and then red. “That was my
brother,” he said. “I saw Judge
Gresham about his case yesterday
and he promised to have it dis
missed.”
Sitting in the Postmaster-Gen
eral’s oilice one day were Senator
Voorhees, W. W. Dudley and some
other friends. They were discussing
politics when Judge Gresham arose
and said: “Suppose we go down
and have a drink. You’ll go, won’t
you, Dan ?”
Mr. Voorhees signified his assent.
So did the others in their turn until
Mr. Dudley was reached. He de
clined. “I never drink,” he said.
“Well, come down and have a
cigar,” said Judge Gresham.
“Thank you, I never smoke,” said
General Dudley.
“Well, Dudley,” said Judge
Gresham, scornfully, “you have all
the qualities that go to make a bad
man.”
There are some politicians who
have not so firm a faith in Judge
Gresham’s high character as others.
One of these gentlemen, a leading
member of the United States Sen
ate, whose name can be quoted if
necessary, said a few days ago : “I
suppose that Gresham is incorrupti
ble. You could not go to him with
money and influence his opinion.
But I do know this about him—that
he sits up nights playing poker with
George Pullman and other rich men
i of that kind, and that they lose to
him very steadily. Whether the
fact that you have won several
thousand dollars from a man in a
game of poker will make you feel
any more kindly toward him the
next day and influence your judg-

Mr. Gorman’s Call of “Halt.”
11 New York World, Dem.
> Mr. Gorman stood in his place
; in the Senate on TueJgL' to utter a
rebuke and to sound The
1 rebuke was deserved and the warn
-1 ing timely. But the Senate refused
1 to heed either.
1 The appropriation bills already
• passed or now under consideration
1 carry a total of $539,000,000. The
Senate was at the moment engaged
in adding to this enormous aggregate
at every available point. Mr. Gor-
1 man warned his colleagues that a de
ficiency is inevitable at the end of
1 the fiscal year, and that appropria
tions already exceed the total reve
nues of the Government.
If a limit is not set to expendi
tures, he pointed out, it will become
imperatively necessary to increase
the tax burdens laid upon the people.
The Senate heard the protest and
then proceed to add to the appro
priations quite as if the revenues had
been shown to be largely in excess
of the demands upon the Treasury
The dull insensibility of Congress
on this subject is past comprehension.
This Congress was elected as a direct
and most emphatic protest of the
people against the extravagance of
the Billion Dollar Congress. Yet it
has repeated the billion-dollar per
formance as jauntily as if nothing
had happened.
Now the Democratic party is
about to come into control of both
houses, upon a pledge to the people
that it will reduce taxation. Yet
the Democratic House, that it has
shown as reckless a disregard of the
popular demand as its predecessor
did, and Democrats in the Senate
joined with the Republicans to treat
Mr. Gorman’s warning with con
tempt.
Do these men in Congress imagine
that the people are not in earnest in
this matter ? Do they think for a
moment that the people are dullards
to be fooled with unfulfilled prom
ises?
The people demand tax reduction.
They have commissioned Congress
to cut down expenditures. They
want Congressmen to put aside their
little “pork-barrel” jobs and appro
priate money only for the necessary
expenses of a government economi
cally administered. If Congress
fails in that during the next two
years the party in control will have
a reckoning to make.
The pension legislation must be
revised with some reference to the
rights of the wage-earners of the
country. It is certain that a large
saving can be made there without
depriving any worthy and needy
recipient of the Government’s bounty
of a dollar that is due him. But
that is not the only point at which a
saving can be effected. Scores of
millions are squandered every year
in needless public buildings in towns
of no consequence. Ten millions at
least might be cut off the usual River
and Harber bill without any loss to
the commerce of the country, and
there are other available points of
large saving. There is extravagance,
indeed, in every direction. The
whole history of appropriations dur
ing the last four years has been a
record of reckless and ceaseless
squandering.
The new Congress and Adminis
tration must call a halt, or must ac
cept the responsibility of increasing
the taxes laid upon the people in or
der to provide the money with which
to continue the orgy.

Carts and Money.
Professor Bonamy Price in his ex
planation as to the amount of circu
lating medium or money we need,
says: “Carts and money are both
tools instruments of conveyance,
endowed with the same nature and
subject to the same general laws.
The question for each is the same—
how many are wanted for the work
which they were invented to do. In
the case of money, how much gold
(or legal tender paper money) can a
nation use ? How much can it find
“The aru'Ar as with 'the carts,
must ue sought from ine special vtotk
money has to perform—that is, from
the amount of exchanging which calls
for the agency of this tool, the quan
tity of property of which the owner
ship has to be transferred by this
instrument. A cart transfers weight;
money, ownership ; and all the world
knows that the cartage to be done
determines the number of carts. In
the same way the ownership of prop
erty which requires to be transferred
by the actual employment of money
itself determines how much there
ought to be in a nation. No other
answer is possible, unless it is denied
that money is only a tool; if so, an
other explanation of the nature of
money must be produced.”
A Case of Probabilities.
The Charleston .News is also talk
ing right out m meeting. It declares
that Judge Gresham “probably” voted
for Mr. Cleveland last fall “because
of his personal dislike of Benjamin
Harrison, but if the campaign were
to be fought over again, with a dif
ferent Republican candidate for pres
ident in the field—Gresham, for in
stance—he would almost to a cer
tainty be found marching in the front
rank among the stalwarts for cen
tralization and protection.” It then
asserts shat “there would be not fit
ness in such an appointment, and so
far as we can see it would contribute
nothing to the success of the coming
administration. Just the same the
draught will be swallowed. No con
firmation, no spoils.

Progressive Farmer.
The Alabama Legislature has
passed a bill creating an election law
that will disfranchise 40,000 negroes
and many white men in the State.
The press dispatches state that
the object is to “perpetuate Demo
cratic rule.” We grant that any
party has a right to legislate so as to
perpetuate its life, but it should be
done in good legislation, such as
will cause the people to have confi
dence in it. Then no other party
can take its place. But to perpetu
ate rule by disfranchising voters will
never meet the approval of honest
men. Every party should stand or
fall on its merits. What would
Washington, Jefferson or Jackson
think of such legislation?

Gen. McClernand was a Union sol
dier who served with distinction and

said that Catlin’s friends are getting
up a monster petition asking for h s
appointment, which has already been
signed by more than 50,000 of the
Grand Army brethren. It is feared
that Gen. McClernand’s advanced
a<*e will be prejudicial to his chances,
while Catlin’s Grand Army backing

MAY DIVIDE THE CHURCH.
New Jersey Plan to Divide State School
Funds with Parochial Schools.
The Rf public.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 26.—The
proposed bill for the division of the
State school moneys with the Catholio
parochial schools of the State has
stepped out of the mist of speculation
and become a fact. The bill provides
for the filing with the State or County
School Superintendent of articles
showing the incorporation of any or
ganization controlling or having
schools, and places these schools
under the supervision of the County
Superintendent. He is ordered to
name the president, treasurer and
secretary of the trustees of the or
ganized association. They are to
report to him the number of schools
under their control, and the number
of children attending them, and the
State to appropriate $lO to the trus
tees for each child out of the State
school fund.
The publication of the fact that
such a movement was on foot has
seriously interfered with the plans of
the proposed legislation, and it may
not be pushed exactly on the lines
originally contemplated. The bill
itself may not be presented after all,
but priests throughout the State say
that the Legislature is to be memori
alized on the subject and asked to
appoint a committee to consider it
with a view to having definite action
taken on it this year.
The submission of the proposition
to the Legislature will not only arouse
the widest popular interest, but will
present the issue of Cahensleyism on
a broader ground than any on which
it has yet stood for public inspection.
It is thought that if the bill is pre
sented to the Legislature it will cause
a serious division of the church in
this State.

Such is the information contained in
