The Emancipated Woman.
The emancipated woman is the
•crowning prodnct of the civilization
of_lhe nineteenth century. Among
all the changes which have marked
the close of this great cycle of the
world’s progress it is safe to say that
none will compare in historical and
social interest to the rapid reforma
tion in the attitude of women them
selves, and the corresponding change
in public sentiment, toward the true
aspect in which the sex should be
considered. Amid the wrecks of
dogmas and the crash of prejudices
which have gone down before the
irresistable onslaught of free thought
and free speech, none are more con
spicious than the hopeless collapse of
the belief, that woman is inferior to
man, and that her ambitions must be
confined to the narrow and restricted
sphere of the home and nursery.
The advocates of Phrenology point
with pride to the fact that this
science has always maintained the
social and politicale quality of woman.
The cardinal doctrine of the science
is, that the volume, quality and form
of the brain, other things being equal,
decides the proper sphere of the in
dividual, regardless of sex, color or
other accidental conditions, Phrenol
ogy moreover, demonstrates, that in
all cases of superior organization,
the male inherits strongly from the
mother while the reverse is true of
the female, who inherits her positive
qua’ities from the father. All great
men have had grt at mothers, all great
women have had great fathers. Ju-t
why in each case, the excellent talent
should be arrested in its development
for a whole generation, by debarring
women from the exercise of natural
functions, is one of the problems
which the astute statesmen who have
stood in the way of progress until
they have been in danger of annihi
lation by its onward march, may con
sider at their leisure. Meanwhile
the emancipated woman is marching
on in her conquest. In two states cf
the Union she has already established
herself in the full rights of citizen -
ship, and in many others the question
will soon be submitted to a popular
vote. It is entirely possible that the
new century may dawn upon a nation
which honors its wives and mothers
with a recognition of their claim to
at least ore half of the wisdom,
judgement and patriotism which
exists within the State.
New conditions create new forms
of character. It is doubtful, if the
—-ballet had been conferred upon the
women of the last century, that they
htajould have bern as capable of using
as the nineteenth century
undoubtedly are. The strife
has wrested the ballot from
■mwilling masculinity has made semi
"ninity capable of appreciating it. It
is unquestionable that the women of
1895 is far in advance of her grand
mother of 1795 in self reliance, dig
nity business capacity and general
intelligence. No evidence has yet
been introduced, as far as we are in
formed, that her kisses are any less
sweet, that her touch is less soothing,
or that her companionship is any less
agreeable to her masculine compa
triots. Numberless persons can be
found who insist that she wi'l lose
all of these delightful feminine char
acteristics as soon as she has a ballot
placed in her hands, but no evidence
has ever been produced showing that
this fear has been realized in the case
of the thousands of women who have
recently voted in Wyoming and Col
orado.
The real gist of the opposition to
the complete emancipation of women
is expressed in the w’ail of a promin
ent anti suffragist who said, “If wo
men are given the ballot, they will
demand equal wages with men, and
things will come to such a pass that
a man can’t get a wife when he want’s
one ”
Things are in reality coming to
just this pass. It is entirely possible
that the twentieth century may see
women getting equal wages with
man, and it is altogether likely that a
man will not be able to get a wife
and keep her unless he deserves her.
Women, at least the better class of
women, and by this we mean the
most intelligent class, are beginning
to feel that they are no longer chat
tels to be owned by some man, but
that they have rights which all men,
and particularly husbands, are bound
to respect.—The Phrenologist.

PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., MAY 3. 1895.
A Bit of Old Party Legislation.
The people never have fully com
prehended the enormity of the theft
committed upon them by and
throuh their representatives, by the
Union and Pacific and other railway
companies. The story of the un
paralled job the money sharks forced
through Congress, in’the aid of the
Union Pacific railroad is so outrage
ous and astounding that it shakes the
nervous system of the reader. Only
just read the following from Judge
S. S. King’s book, entitled ; “Bond
holders and Bread Winners
“During the war (the beginning of
the era of corruption) the Union Pa
cific railway was conceived. The
national legislature had chartered
the company and given it 20,000,000
acres of land. But the subsidy was
not enough to satisfy the Eastern
capitalists. Then Congress offered
to loan the company for each mile
of road built, $16,000 a mile over the
prairie country, $32,000 a mile over
the mountain slopes and $48,000
over the mountains. Here is land
worth estimating it at
$2.50 per acre, or worth $100,000,000,
estimating it at its selling price of
ift.oo per acre. The loan offered
was more than $60,000,000. Did
the Eastern millionaires accept the
offer.? No. Why? Because they
knew they owned Congress and
could get a better deal; and they did
get a better one. Congress then
offered to give them all this land, and
loan them all the money, and in ad
dition thereto allow the company to
issue first mortgage bonds and sell to
other Eastern capitalists to the same
amount per mile of the government
loan—sl6,ooo, $32,000 and $48,000
—the Eastern capitalists to have the
first lien, and the government the
second lien. This offer was accepted
and work began. Eastern capitalists,
headed by Oakes Ames of Massa
chusetts, now took hold of the vast
enterprise, putting less than a quarter
of a million of their own capital into
it. Estimates showed that the build
ing of the road would cost less than
the money loaned by the govern
ment, saying nothing of the value of
the lands. It was built, and the pat
rons who built it divided among
themselves as profits during the
building more than one hundred mil
lion dollars, with all their land left!
Today the Union Pacific railroad
owes the national government in
principal and interest more than
$130,000,000 ! Ahead of the gov
ernment lien is a mortgage to the
Eastern capitalists for more than the
road is worth.”—Mercury.

During the campaign of last year
we donated about 2,000 copies of
the Roman Sketches to the Execu
tive Committee and they were scat
tered throughout the State.
From many sources came the re
ports of the good work done by
these little books.
In simple style, the author traces
the struggles which occurred in
ancient Rome on
The Labor Question,
The Land Question,
The Money Question,
And the Abuse of Special Privi
leges, or Class Rule.
A picture is drawn of the man
ners, customs, superstitions, tyranny,
misrule and corruption of the times,
and of the work which the great re
formers undertook.
The study of the contending prin
ciples and factions of those times
throws a vivid light over the con
ditions of to-day.
These Roman Sketches are no
mere fancy pictures.
Every statement made by the au
thor is based upon the authority of
Plutarch, Mommsen, Arnold, Froude,
Suetonious, Cicero or Ward.
Over the life-work of Coisar, the
great German scholar, Mommsen has
thrown a flood of startling light; and
upon the revolt of Spartacus, Ward
has brought a similar patience of re
search and a similar richness of dis
covery.
The author has followed these two
authorities closely, and his delinea
tions of Ctesar (the reformer of the
land and money systems of Rome)
and of Spartacus, the greatest labor
leader of history, are based upon
authorities which cannot b 6 refuted.
You will fail to understand the

You and your children should

Times are hard, but they will get

Leaders can do nothing without

Preaching is idle without listeners

If you want better times to come,

If you want to change these laws,

Notwithstanding the cotton plant
ers of the country produced, picked,
and marketed 1,471,518,924 more
pounds of cotton in 1894 than they
did in 1892 the crop of last year fell
short over 845,000,000 of the crop of
1892. The wheat raisers lost $136,-
000,000 in 1894 over the crop of
1892. There has been a correspond
ing loss in all other products, the ag
gregate amounting to hundreds of
millions of dollars. It is astonishing
to contemplate the patience and for
bearance of the American people.
