Newspaper Page TextAN OLD DEMOCRAT GIVES THE REASONS WHY HE LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Good Sunday Reading For Hon est Men Who Wish to Vote Right. Ist. Oar leaders here in the South such as Senators Morgan, Walsh, Harris, Gordon and others nave declared it onr duty and their intention to stand by the national and state nominations whether they be in favor of, or opposed to, the free coinage of silver. 2nd. Very nearly all our Demo- Republican leaders declare we must sacrifice principles to perpetuate our party. 3rd. On all leading financial measures the party is so divided against itself that there is positively no hope of its ever becoming united so as to be able to enact laws benefi cial to the masses on any leading reform measure. 4th. On financial measures it adopts a straddling platform so as to draw the voters and befoul the po litical air with false promises. sth. Such cowardly and treach erous leaders dominate and rule it to such an extent, that it is virtually, politically damned and has lost nearly all its honest and intelligent supporters. 6th. By the cunning hypocrisy of such leaders it stands and delivers our country and us body and soul to trusts and the money changers of Europe and Wall Street. ■7th. Except in name it is Repub lican and carries out John Sher man’s financial measures better than the Republican party could do. Bth. In this section, the South, it resorts to fraudulent measures to maintain its power and keep the of fices. 9th. Although plac: d in power on its promises of reforming republi can abuses and extravagances, it has increased these wrongs and oppres sions and come nearer destroying liberty and independence than any other party ever intrusted with po litical supremacy in America. 10th. It has so contracted our currency as to bring wanton priva tion, hardship, and desolation upon the agricultural and laboring masses, for the enrichment of the greedy avaracious money classes, and for the benefit of this class has impoverished our country by issuing interest bear ing bonds to enrich money lords and enslave us. 11th. Upon a trumped up plea of contempt of court and without a trial by an impartial jury it has in carcerated free men in American jails, and a rancker, more inhuman, and bitter decree has never disgraced our judicial annals and no blacker blot upon American jurisprudence ever was recorded than the late Fed eral Income Tax case which smacks of a venal decision favoring money devils. 12th. In utter violation of con stituted State rights, and over the earnest protest of the Governor of Illinois, it invaded that State with national troops in the interet-tof mon ey kings in a time of peace. 13th. It is destitute of national honesty in that it refuses to teach and proclaim the truth that paper money issued by the government and made a legal tender is better than either gold or silver so long as it is issued in a limited amount not above the solving of its subjects. 14th. It has dishonored the name it has assumed by crimes against the human race, and is a great political stench that smells to high Heaven with political depravity andprostitu • tions in favor of money mongers and their tools. 15th. Its leaders who are seeking to rescue it from the grave in which it slumbers, are a set of political bushwhackers who are keeping up a fire behind bushes and clifts in or der to blind and bewilder ths people and prevent them thereby from uniting in any reform movement which can give them prosperity. 16th. It is being held together PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., SEPTEMBER 20, 1895. only by their cohesive desires fori public plundering of the country, and j no frauds in elections are too cor rupt for them to inaugurate to con trol official spoils. 17th. We all know the Populist party intends to give the country re lief from Demo Republican misrule and corruption and all patriots should join this party knowing we cannot be worsted by doing so. 18th. The damnable registration law passed by our last democratic legislature allowing men to vote from country districts at the county sites and not allowing them like privil eges m rural districts, was passed to give their heelers the chance to reg ister their John Does and Richard Roes in every ward in Augusta and elsewhere, and these to count out honest men’s votes by dishonest and fraudulent repea er’s votes. 19th. It is a crime against hon est government and a blot and stain upon the name of liberty and free dom to vote to sustain and perpetuate democratic rule in Georgia or. else where longer. Honest upright men of Augusta and the 10th, district, it is your duty to stamp out such cor ruption as is going on now in your district. Do it by electing Watson and you will lilt the cloud of politi cal dishonor and turpitude that rests now upon your district. If you al low rhe fraudulent registered lOcts heeler’s votes of the district to vitiate the result of this October election, it will blight and blast your prosperity throughouttthe United States; for all eyes are fixed upon your district and will watch the result. It were better ten thousand times for Black or Watson either or both to be de feated than to get an election through illegal voting. All honor to the no ble four ministers, Drs. Wadsworth, Jacks, Dunbar, and Embry, and the 21 true democrats of Augusta who have raised their voices in favor of honest registrations and votes in Au gusta and the 10th, district. March into this fight true men of the 10th, and redeem your district from the blighting effects of rotten political frauds in voting. Ex-Democrat. $49,000 in Shoes, Hats and Trunks slaughtered at the Great Eastern Shoe Co., 1009 Broad St., Augusta, Ga. Read their ad. Sept-6-3m The Frauds in Augusta. The frauds of illegal registering complained of by the Populists of Augusta, seems to be well founded, and every effort has been brought to bear on the good people of that city to condemn this outrageous conduct, but so far it has not been heeded to any great extent. It is true that a few of the best element of Augusta have expressed themselves as favor ing a fair and honest registration, yet they take no active part in stopping the dirty work now going on in that city by ward heelers. Let the bus iness men of Augusta take this mat ter in hand and see to it that honest, square dealing is done in the registering of voters. Are the hon est men of Augusta going to sit idly by and let men who have no regard for law, honesty and integrity, ma nipulate and prostitute the ballot box as it is now being charged is being done? If so, it will eventually sound the death knell to that once pros perous city. The day of fraud and corruption in our body politics must end, and the sooner the better. There is too much at stake to allow this open violation to law and order to longer exist. There are numerous remedies whereby an end can be put to this evil, and now while time is plenty it would be well for the best element composing the Democratic party in Augusta to see to it that a square deal is made. The people are in no humor to be tampered with in this matter. This election is one of great interest, because it was brought about for the purpose of purifying the ballot box, and forever putting down the disgraceful outrages per trated at the ballot box in this Dis trict in 1894. Mr. Black resigned his seat in Con gress because it was so plain that he had been elected by fraud ; and the agreement between him and Mr. Watson was for the purpose of having an honest ballot and a fair count, and now the honest people of both parlies should demand it. It is true that the present regis- tration law is defective, but it was passed by the last Legislature with a view to do away with fraud ; but from the manner in which the regis tration list is being swelled in Au gusta, it was only passed with a view of legalizing fraud. -We must hive a fair and honest registration and an honest vote re gardless of party success or the elec tion of either candidate.—Crawford ville Advocate. Oiir Chinese Missionaries. The Washington Post says of our missionaries in China : “We havt on all occasions maintained the prop osition that our missionary work ii China is a failure. In this we are supported by the testimony of trav elers, merchants, naval officers, and icpresentatives of the civil branch of our government. The Chinese peo ple do not want the Christian relig ion. They have never given it the slightest encouragement, and we see now that, for the sternest restraint of authority, they would be unwill ing to tolerate the presence of the missionaries for so much as a tingle day. Neither is it logical for the United States government to assume an attribute of protection as regards the representative of any special faith who may choose to undertake the conversion of foreign peoples. We have no national religion. We recognize all religions and give pref erem eto none.” In -reply to this the Louisville Courier-Journal makes the point that as our missionaries are Ameiican citizens our .govern ment must protect them in China. To this the Post makes the follow ing answer: “Whatever be our ab stract rights, is it not a fact that the only demands upon us for protection proceed from the missionaries, that the only American citizens needing protection are missionasies, and that but for the missionaries we should have no occasion to open negotia tions, dispatch gun-boats, or call for explanation and reparation ? And if ’his be true, as it unquestionably is, does it not follow that we are “push ing our religion at the point of the sword ?” Are we pushing anything else that requires the exertion or the demonstration of force? Are our merchants or our diplomatic or con sular representatives in danger? What is all this trouble about if not about the missionaries and tbeir vain attempt to plant the Christian relig ion in a hostile and barren soil ?” LOAD US UP with subscribers at 50 cents each before Oct. Ist. Every half dollar invested will make a voter for the Populist candidates in the January election. The Cost of Text-Books. The Chicago Board of Education, while investigating the proposition to buy text-books directly from the publishers and supply them as coat to the children, secured some strik ing testimony. The agent of the American Book Company submitted an estimate that not more than 800,- 000 copies of different text-books were in the hands of pupils in the Chicago public schools, and that the yearly expenditure for text-books was therefore in the neighborhood of $150,000. The present profits of Chicago school-book dealers, he con tinued, were merely in the neighbor hood df $12,000, and each child would save only six and one half cents a year if he bought his books at wholesale instead of retail rates. When, however, this witness was asked the cost of text-books per child in St. Louis, where the Board makes the purchases from the publishers, he answered that it was 37 cents a pupil. A member of the Board promptly figured that each child in Chicago was paying 70 cents a year for his books if the t total expendi ture wai $150,000 a year, and asked the witness to explain the difference. The explanation, says the Chicago “Times-Herald,” was m no way sat isfactory. A resolution was passed directing the clerk of the Board to write to St. Louis and other cities where the Board of Education buy s the text-books and distributes them directly among the pupils, for all data bearing on the subject.—The Outlook.
