SUMMER ISTHETIME
The Lesson of the Season t<
Catarrhal Sufferers-Natures
Aid to the Physician’s
Work.
Summer Advantages
Jn all troubles of catarrhal or bron
chial nature, one month’s treatment ii
in the summer is, as a rule, worth tw<
in the winter. It is in the summer tha
nature lends her aid to the work of th<
physician. The even temperatun
makes conditions specially favorabh
for a speedy cure. The liability u
catching cold is reduced to the mini
mum. Time and again have the Cope
land physicians urged patients in des
perate stages of catarrh to wait unti
summer for treatment, and they hav<
never failed to urge all who have anj
traces of this insidious disease, to em
brace the opportunity which sumrnei
offers and nd themselves of it then
even when its symptoms are less dis
tressing and annoying than usual.
Cured After Years of Suffering Without
Ever Seeing the Doctor.
Mrs. Sarah Astin, a highly respected
lady of Palmetto, Ga., writes as fol
lows : “I had been a great sufferer for
months with a great weakness and loss
of appetite, deafness, catarrh of the
head ami an awful misery across my
forehead. I suffered so badly that I
thought I could not live. Seeing the
statement of a lady that you had cured,
whose case seemed just like mine, 1
wrote you for treatment, though I
that I was too old to be bene
■Uffauy, but to my great surprise I
after but two months’ treatment,
comple’ely cured. I had a better appe
tite than I had had since I was a girl.
Headache all gone and hearing return
ed, I could walk a mile easily- All
this without ever seeing you, and al
though I have never seen you, I would
advise all suffering with deafness and
catarrhal troubles to apply to the
Copeland physicians for relief.”

THE PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER: ATLANTA, GEORGIA: FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1897.
BUCKLE ON YOUR ARMOR.
A Grand Rally Cry From One of Geor
gia's Staunch Populists
Editor Peoples Party Paper.
The proposition to send votes to the
papers expressive of the wishes of the
Populists as to the advisability of hold
ing a convention in Nashville on the
4th of July would have the unanimous
endorsement of the Georgia Populists
if the rank and file of our party
thought there was any doubt of its be
ing held. I have not met a single man
who is not heartily in favor of it.
We are looking to our leaders to re
organize our columns and give the
command, “forward, march.” We
have no idea of halting in our efforts
or sulking in our tents because some
of our representatives have made mis
takes and we are in no mood to traduce
or denounce our friends who were mis
lead by Democratic treachery. We are
all liable to make mistakes when our
motives are faultless. The Populists
made a very serious mistake in making
Mr. Butler our national chairman, not
that I agree with Mr. Watson that Mr.
Butler is a bad man, I think he is too
young, too weak, too ambitious for
personal preferment, but, are we to
cease our efforts to deliver our country
from the curse of industrial slavery
because we made the mistake of put
ting a weak man in a position of re
sponsibility? Are we to give over
the effort to redeem our land from
plutocratic rule because the Demo
cratic leaders succeeded in overreach
ing a weak youtg man, whom we
placed in a position the duties of which
he was unab e to perform? Never!
The Federal government succeeded in
suppressing the Confederacy by drop
ping incompetent generals and putting
new ones in their places. There is a
Grant in the ranks of our party who can
neither be bought nor intimidated and
under his leadership we are bound to
win.
Both the old parties are controlled by
men who do w t approximate the stand
ard given by Jethro to Moses, viz:
“Men who hate coveteousness and love
the truth.” I don’t pretend to dictate
to the officials, I only say what I want.
Let our State Chairman instruct our
congressional chairmen to proc ed at
once to elect or appoint delegates to
the Nashville convention. I am no
stickler for red tape methods, I am
only anxious to be represented in the
convention. I see every reason for
continued effort. There is no cause
for despondency. The Populists have
accomplished wonders in a few years.
We have educated public opinion to
most of our demands, the only scare
crow now left is the ownership of the
railways, and that is setting itself as
fast as the blind cupidity of the owners
can possibly do it. The time is fast
approaching when the people will de
mand of Congress something more than
a national game of baseball.
Where is the cause of despondency or
relaxation of effort? What if the cause
of reform has been set back by the be
trayal of good men by unscrupulous
politicians? What do we care who
holds the reins so we show them how
to drive?
Mr. Editor, you just stir up th,«jState
and have delegates ready to go to
Nashville on the 4th of July and let
that convention put our reorganized
forces in motion. Don’t stop now to
talk of the past, let bygones be by
gones, and every man buckle on in
armor and with locked shields we will
march to victory.
John H. Traylor
Protection for Both Capital and Labor.
It is clearly evident that the head
“Protectionists” dare not offend the
manufacturers, “coal Barons” and
other employers of cheap labor by the
adv< cacy of any measure calculated to
check the fearful influx of foreign
cheap labor by the advocacy of any
measure calculated to check the fear
ful influx of foreign cheap labor pour
ing into our American labor market
duty free. The employers say, in ef
fect, to the tariff tinkers :—“You must
impose heavy duties upon goods manu
factured abroad because that course
protects us, but you must not cut off
our supply of cheap foreign labor, for
the reason that the employment of
imported pauper labor enables us to
keep in check the demands of American
labor. If you want our dollars to help
you keep up the cry of “Protection to
American Labor,” you must keep your
hands off of immigration. For the
present, the fa!se pretence of protection
to American labor through the instru
mental itj’ of the “Alien Contract Labor
Law ” must answer your purpose.
That joke does not hurt us in the
least, for while half a dozen irnmi
grants are turned back on the strength
of that pretence, two thousand able
bodied immigrants come in on the same
ship without let or hindrance. There
fore it is your policy and your duty to
us to make a great hue and cry about
that' “protection” law whenever you
get a chance. The labor orgar izations
are welcome to their six “contracted’’
laborers among a ship load of cheap
fellows who come right to us for work.”
Such is the position taken by the pro
tected ones as against the unprotected.
In fact there is no hope for “protec
tion” on the part of American manual
industry as against the competition of
foreign cheap labor, admitted free of
duty, but in th/ elective and combined
cower of labor itself. The industrial
forces must cut the binding cords of
“party” and become independent pa
triots—free from boss tyranny and po
litical dictation if they ever expect to
obtain the only honest practical pro
tection that will protect them from
that cheap labor of Europe and Asia
which is allowed to flood our American
channels of industry to the degrada
tion of American labor.
When they shall have demanded ar.d
secured the same measure of protection
and the same kind that is accorded to
the manufacturer, then and not until
then will there be fewer Scotts and
Carnegies and more happy, comforta
ble and contented workingmen and
women in Amer ca. In other words,
when a sufficirntly heavy dutv is im
posed upon foreisrn cheap labor to pro
tect American labor from its blighting
influence, in the same measure and
degree that duties are imposed upen
goods and materia s of foreign make,
for the protection of manufacturers,
then, and cot until then, will equal and
exact justice be meted out to both cap
ital and labor.
Dollars are the manufacturers’work
ing capital; labor is the workingman’s
capital. Protect both directly, not
indirectly. The high tariff party, the
Tariff Reform Party or any other party
that will adopt this just and righteous
principle will win the battle.
Protection for capital and free trade
for labor is wrong in principle.—Real
Estate Journal.

The balloting goes on merrily-and
up to the present date all one way, so
that the reform press committee seems
to have voiced the sentiment of the
rank and file of the populist party.
A number of the leading populist
papers are printing each week a coupon
ballot the same as appears in another
column of this paper.
Those who prefer to have the count
ing done at this office can have their
ballots sent here by inserting “People’s
Party Paper, Atlanta, Ga.” in the
coupon.
By every mail the voting increases
and at the present rate before June Ist,
several thousand will have expressed
themselves through the P. P. P.
It is an open election and a fair
count. Populist’s everywhere, and
more especially in Georgia, are urged
to secure ballots and fill in the blanks
or else write their ballots and forward
them at once.
Vote either for or against, but vote
and express your wish in the matter
The P. P. P. simply stands as the re
ceiver of your ballots and after they
are counted, they are sealed and held
subject to the order of President Frank
Burkitt of the National Reform Press
Association.
County Chairmen and members of the
executive committee are urged to
write Chairman Jno D Cunningham,
Marietta, Ga., expressing themselves on
the matter of holding a state conven
tion to elect delegates to Nashville.
Don’t delay but write him to day.
Until the meeting of the State Con

the People’s Party Paper will publish
each week the exact showing of the
ballots received in this office.
The ballots are carefully scrutinized,
counted and filed in sealed packages,
subject to the order of President Frank
Burkitt of the Reform Press Assoc a

Party Paper will show how the bal
loting stands at other places.
Write out your ballot today and get
your Populist neighbors to do the same
and send them in. Every days delay

William J. Bryan has contributed
an article to the New York Journal in
which he takes the position that there
is no rational or honorable ground of
agreement or compromise between the
Democratic party and the Cleveland
party, and he is clearly right in it.
These two parties stand upon as dis
tinct and as hostile platforms as two
platforms could be. The Democrats
met in Chicago and, after due deliber
ation put forth the purest and most
striking declaration of Democratic prin
ciples that has emanated from a na
tional convention since the war. That
declaration of principles met and still
meets the approval of a vast majo ity
of the persons known as Democrats.
It represents their opinions now. It
will be reaffirmed and emphasized in
their convention in 1900.
But it did not represent the views of
the personal following of Cleveland in
the Democratic party. He was not and
is not a Democrat. He was a treach
erous and mendacious Nationalist. He
affected to be a Democrat that he
might get office at the hands of that
great partyl and when he had suc
ceeded in his dishonorable design he
removed the mask, and stood revealed
in the nakedness of political deformity.
There were some thousands cf Demo
crats in each of the States who either
were not Democrats at heart, or else,
who set greater store by allegiance to
him than to their political principles.
And so when the convention which rep
resented the real Democrats of the
country met, and put forth a ringing
declara* ion of Democratic principles,
the personal followers of Cleveland, at
a hint from him, withdrew from the
party, called a convention of their own,
and adopted a platform couched in
terms of direct and bitter antagonism
to that of the Democrats. The Demo
crats repudiated Cleveland and his Na
tional ism. The Clevelandites repudi
ated Democracy in return.
The Ishmaelite does not wish to ex
press any doubt of their sincerity. It
prefers to believe that they were sin
cere. It assumes that they were hon
est in their abandonment of the Demo
cratic party, in their denunc ation of
the Democratic platform and in their
opposition to the Democratic nominees.
That was six months ago. Has any
thing happened in that time to change
the relations in which these two dis
tinct and hostile organizations stood
to each other then? If so, the Ishmae
lite is not aware of it. Democrats still
stand on the Chicagoplxtform, withits
assertion of real Democracy and its re
pudiation of Clevelandism. The Cleve
landites still stand on their Indianapo
lis platform with its repudiation of
Democracy and everything else but
Clevelandism. The two parties are as
distinct and as hostile to-day as they
were on the 3rd day of last November.
It is nonsense, then, to talk of prin
ciples in common and of purposes in
common between these hostile organi
zations. There are no common fears
to bring these two armies of hostile
and warring men together, and all talk
to that end is a mere wast of idle words
on the unheeding air. There will be
no compromise of the principles enun
ciated in the Chicago platform They
will be reaffirmed in 1900. The Demo
crats did not try to deceive anybody in
1896 They carried their principles on
their foreheads. They did not fight from
behind masked batteries. They fought
in the open, and though defeated their
defeat involved no loss of honor and
no lessening of the earnestness of their
purpose to try it again, on absolutely
similar lines. It is for the Cleveland
ites to determine upon what lines they
they will go forth to battle. It is very
sure, however, that their alignment,
whatever it may be, will not be
brought about by an abandonment by
the Democracy of principles set forth
in the Chicago platform. The sugges
ts >a of such a course would involve
both cowardice and treachery. —Ish-
maelite I Dem).
✓ 3»e Replies to Hl# Critics.
With ’'aspect to the future, we can
ouiy reason from the past. From the
hour of his exit from the White House
in 1889, Mr. Cleveland and his office
holders were busily engaged organiz
ing for 1892. His part of the program
was to pose as the retired statesman
and philosopher. He made few public
appearances, but he wrote many
private letters. Occasionally a few
words were allowed “accidentally” to
drop out of these letters, which repre
sented him in the character of “His
Reluctaney.” One of the neatest bits
of finesse was “dropped” out of a letter
to General Bragg, of Wisconsin, touch
iaer'Che “disgust” the writer felt at the
of “soliciting” the Presidency,
ael, curiously, this got on the wires
ju-A as Senator Hill had reached At
lanta on his ill-starred journey to Mis
siss ppi. Another clever bit was
“dropped” in Chattanooga, by means
of which it was modestly doubted
whether the writer ought to be again
nominated for President, or was, after
all, the most available candidate.
Meanwhile, the ex-office-holders were
everywhere working up public opinion
and getting up delegates, not a hard
thing to do since Governor Hill was
the only active rival in sight They
thought if he got back they would get
back. Alas and alack! Other people
besides the'village maiden in the bal
lad can have “a naughty little twinkle
in her eye.” The Homestead riots,
charged, along with the Pinkertons, to
the party in power, transferred the
trades unions in a body from the Re
publicans to the Democratic column,
and, against all reasonable calculation.
Mr Cleveland “got back,” and, when
he found himself again in the White
House, one of his first acts was to an
nounce that no “old office-holders”
need apply. Thus rotation in office
once again became good Democratic
gospel, except in his own case.
THE “BOOM” IN FULL SWING.
Such is the record of Mr. Cleveland
as an aspirant. Concurrent with the
speech before the Reform Club, so
called, biographies of the ex-President
besin to float about. From across the
sea bis dear friend, Mr. Bayard, not
having the cue or the gift of silence,
accepts the third-term suggestion as a
mailer of course, while Mr. Carl Schurz
is promptly in the field with a brilliant
exposition of the virtues of Mr. Cleve
land’s “Second Administration. ” And,
the* Literary Bureau fairly going, it
will continue to go between this and
190'.]

satellites rests upon the expected

orderly government and sound econom

these impeachments, it will be de
veloped that no word of renunciation
can be wrung from him as the one re
sponsible person named in the indict
mert
The Courier-Journal simply protested
that a political situation, having many
possibilities, should thus be misappro
priated and in advance handicapped by
any personal interest. If Mr. Cleve
land had in his mind some other pur
pose he could greatly have strength
ened his speech and advanced the cause
he affects to serve by an appeal to his
countrymen carrying some guarantee
of disinterestedness. He could earn
estly, appropriately, have disclaimed
any further ambitions. He is not that
kind of man. His speech was as plain
a partisan bid as words could make it.
and as time advances this will be suffi
ciently verified, only the new journal
ism. which remembers nothing, will
forget to-morrow what it said but yes
terday, and proceed to stigmatize every
thing it does not see out of the back of
its head as a figment of somebody’s
“disordered fancy.”—Henry Watter
son, in New York Journal.
How a Great Charity Started.
Dr. Barnado, who is at the head of
an association for rescuing the children
of the criminal class in London, has
told the story of the incident which
first drew his attention to them.
In 1886 while studying medicine, he,
with a friend, taught a night ragged
school for men in an old stable. One
bitter night when the school was over
he found a boy lying asleep close to the
embers of the fire. He woke him and
told him he must go home.
“I have no home,” was the reply.
“Nonsense! You must live some
where.”
“I don’t live nowheres,” the boy in
sisted.
The medical student found that the
child for three years had been sleeping
in the streets of London. The next
night, with this lad for a guide, he
found 11 boys asleep in Houndsditch on
the roof of one builcing. The next
night he found at Billingsgate over 70
little fellows stretched on a number of
barrels covered with tarpaulin.
The young man told these facts at a
public meeting. The Earl of Shaftes
bury. an eaner philanthropist, went
with him that night to Billingsgate
and found the poor little gamins on
the barrels. An old house was taken,
cleaned and furnished with cheap,
comfortable beds. Dr Barnado took
-eitarge, of_it. The work has grown
until his houses have received tens cf
thousands of friendless children until
permanent homes have been found for
them.
Turgeneff, when a boy, saw one day
a woman, a serf on one of his mother’s
estates, brutally beaten. He never
forgot the incident. The result, years
afterward, was a volume of sketches of
the lives of serfs. It fell into the hands
of the czar, and it is said was the cause
of the ukase which he issued soon
afterward, enfranchising all the serfs
of Russia.
It was not the homeless boy nor the
serf with the blood flowing from her
stripes that wrought these good works
in the world. Homeless boys had slept
in London streets and serfs had been
beaten in Russia for centuries. The
help lay in the pitying hearts of two
young men.—Youth’s Companion.
@ Presented
Courf
A young woman about to be presented at
court receives the fullest instructions as to
her behavior. She is told how to dress: how
to manage her train; how to courtesy cor
rectly. Every incident is carefully rehearsed
so that she may commit no blunder in the
presence of royalty. If all this trouble is
worth whil: for the satisfaction of one brief
moment, how infinitely more important it is
that a young girl about to enter into the
sacred precincts of womanhood, should be
properly instructed in all that concerns a
life-time of possible happiness, or possible
misery.
Every mother ought to see to it that her
daughters are healthy and strong in a wo
manly way. She ought to make them aware
that any neglect or irregularity of the spe
cial functions of womanhood may result in
life-long weakness and disease.
Any mother or daughter may write con
cerning these delicate ailments, with the
utmost confidence to Dr. R V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y
Her letter will be answered free of charge
with suggestions for self-treatment at home,
by which these complaints may be overcome
without need of mortifying examinations.
Dr. Pierce has had over thirty years’ ex
perience in the treatment of women's dis
eases, and is an eminent specialist in this
particular field of practice. His “ Favorite
Prescription ” cures completely and perma
nently the most obstinate cases of feminine
weakness and disease. It heals all Inflamed
conditions, strengthens and tones the nerve
centres and the entire womanly organism.
For prospective mothers and nursing
mothers, the “Favorite Prescription” is a
perfect strength sustainer.

A Puxsled Patriot
The new tariff says that I shall >ay
$2.50 tariff for the privilege of buying
a knife worth 81. Congress says I /ill
become prosperous by paying $2.fC for
asl knife. If I buy a knife lik it,
made in this country, I do not pa; the
$2.50 to the government, but pay It to
the home monopolist, who can chr, ge
the same sum if he pleases. Now what
am Ito do—be patriotic and buy the
home article and let the government
starve, or support the government by
buying the foreign article and let the
home monopolists starve. Is the man
a patriot who supports the govern
ment, or must he support a corporation
to be a patriot? Darned if I know
where lam at. And then again, sup
pose a fellow is too poor to buy a knife
at all—what is he?—Appeal to Reason
The Porter# and the Pnblic.
A porter in the service of the Pull
man Palace Car Company writes to the
Sun a letter which throws a curious
light upon the methods of that corpo
ration in dealing with its employes
The porter asserts that the wages of
men following his occupation are but
#25 a month, and that from that sum.
besides supporting their families, they
must buy two uniforms a year, make
good any shortage in food or supplies
furnished the ca r s, besides paying for
the accident insurance which any intel
ligent man in their pjsition would na
turally carry. Strangely enough, the
complaint of the porters is not against
the amount of their wages—the ugh
87% cents a day is scarcely fair pay for
men who work nearly eighteen U )ur s
a day. Mr Pullman has so thorou. hly
educated them in the belief “ the
travelling public, after paying for
a bed, must pay the man who s it
up, that the complaint of the por»- s is
directed wholly against a reg' > don
which may cutoff their tip-
Nor are the porters alone in regard
ing the travellers as their paymasters
while the Pullman concern is their
employer. The Sun, on receiving the
letter of complaint, promptly inter
viewed the assistant superintendent of
the Eastern Division of the P. P. C.—
the title really compels abbreviation.
This potentate says: “Y’ou may de
pend upon it that if any order of this
comoanv makes it impossible for its
employes to live decently, that order
will be rescinded ” Apparently this
applies only to the order which has re
sulted in the curtailing of tips. May
we depend upon it that the order which
fixes $25 a month as the wages of a
Pullman corporation is only to be mov
ed at the expense of the traveling pub
lic?—N. Y. Journal.
There Is more Catarrh In this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be Incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to lie a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It Is taken Internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,

REORGANIZE THE PARTY.
There is- but one ray of hope left for
the Idaho Populists, and this lies in a
thorough reorganization of the party,
on true, middle of the road lines, as
outlined by the reform pr?ss at Mem
phis, by selecting an entire new set of
committeemen and declaring positive
ly never to again listen for a moment
to Democratic or free silver pleadings
for a united action. The Populists of
Idaho can reorganize on these lines
and again inspire the people with con
fidence and in time sweep the state for
true reform. By the adoption of initi
ative and referendum in party manage
ment, the pie hunting politician will be
thrown out of a job, and the people
will thus welcome back th-ir own
leaders.—Times-Democrat, Idaho.
