Catarrh, Asthma, Deafness and Nervous
Prostration Yield to Their Scien
tific Treatment.
David E. Blackstock, formerly of 372
Edgewood avenue, now of Amesbury,
Mass., says :
“I have been a sufferer from catarrh
for many years. Sime years ago it
developed into an aggravated case of
bronchitis, complicated at times, with
violent asthmatic attacks. During all
.this time I have been under the care of
a number of celebrated physicians, be
sides having spent considerable time
in a famous hospital. I have used
many so-called patent medicines, but
gradually and constantly my condition
kept growing worse. Two years ago
my physician advised me to change
climate, telling me that that promised
more than anything else. That it was
no use for me to take medicine, it would
only be a ease of a ‘fool and his money
parting,’ and that if I remained where
I was I would continue to grow worse.
I took his advice and changed climates.
I found that it was, indeed, a case of a
fool parting with his money in follow
ing my physician’s advice. Changing
climate did not relieve me one particle.
I was again compelled to seek medical
advice.
“Having read considerably of the
Copeland Medical Institute, and having
met quite a number of people whom
they had cured, I concluded to put my
self under their treatment, with the
result that I felt relieved from the first
treatment, and with all due respect to
my former medical advisers, I obtained
more relief from the Copeland treat
ment than I had ever experienced in
all the years I had been under medical
treatment attention. Their remedies
all agree with me and seem to be just
my system requires.
“I find that they are graduates of the
best medical colleges in America, and
commend them to all as being skillful
and faithful physicians and true gen
tlemen.”

DIRECT I FCiISI ATION -
‘ So many inquiries are made by the
uninformed as to the real meaning of
. direct legislation, or in other words,
the initiative, referendum and impera
tive mandate that the following arti
cle from the pen of Eltweed Pomeroy,
President of the National Direct Legis
lation League in the November issue of
the Washingtonian will be a full an-
: swer ?
“Direct legislation is not a principle
but the method of applying a principle
and that principle is Democracy or the
rule by the people. To any one be
lieving in Democracy it does not need
argument but only explanation. It
looks back for the statement of its un
derlying principles, not to Hamilton
and his compeers who wanted a limi
ted, constitutional monarchy in this
country, but to Jefferson and Madison,
and Hancock and Adams whose ring
ing words about the rights of the peo
ple still echo down the corridors of
time.
For a full statement of the principle
underlying Direct Legislation, I am
going back to Jefferson’s definition of
a Republic taken from a letter he w ote
to John Taylor over a century ago. He
said: Were Ito assign to this term,
(the word Republic) a precise and
definite idea, I would say, purely and
simply it means a government by its
citizens in mass, acting directly and
personally, according to rules estab
lished by the majority; and that every
other government is more or less Re
publican in proportion as it has in its
composition more or less of this ingre
dient of the direct action of its citizens
The further the departure from direct
and constant control by its citizens,
the less has the government of the in
gredient of Republicanism. If, then,
the control ot the people over the or
gans of this government be the meas
ure of its Republicanism—and I confess
I know no other measure—it must be
agreed that our governments have
much less of Republicanism than
ought to be expected; in other words
the people have less regular control
over their agents than their rights and
their interest require ; and believing as
I do, that the mass of the citizens is
the safest depository of their own rights
and especially that the evils flowing
from the duperies of the people are
less injurious than those from the ego
ism of their agents, I am a friend to
that composition of this ingredient.”
The advocates of Direct Legislation
are willing to take their stand on
those glorious words of Thomas Jeffer
son as the strongest argument for the
principle at the bottom of Direct Leg
islation. Equally as strong though
possibly not as clear-cut quotations
could be made from Madison, Jackson,
Calhoun, and others. But what is
Direct Legislation.
It is the complete and constant con
trol of the making of laws by the
voters. In small communities, it is ac
complished by the New England town
meeting when all the voters assemble
three or four times a year and vote on
all the local laws to govern them.
Jefferson said of these town meetings
that they were the most perfect inven- 1
tion of the wit of man for the exercise
of self-government and its perpetua
tion.”
In communities too large for the '
voters to all assemble and vote on eve
ry question, direct Legislation is ob
tained by the use of petition in what is 1
known as the Initiative and the Refer
endum. By the Referendum, no law
goes into effect under a reasonable 1
time, say in a State 90 days, if during
that time a reasonable minority of the
voters, say five per cent, sign and file 1
a petition for the reference of any law
to the people, it does not go into effect ’
till after the next election when the
people vote on it, and if a majority
vote against it, it don’t go into effect '
at all. This does not mean that every '
law is submitted to the people, but '
only such laws as a reasonable minori
ty petition to have referred to the peo
ple. The very fact that any law could
be so referred would kill off most of
the bad laws and it would be necessary
to refer only a very few. The referen- ,
dum kills the lobby for as often as the ;
lobbyist has bought or persuaded (
enough of the lawmakers to pass his .
measure, he has got to buy a majority ,
of the people.
The Referendum is preventative,
negative; the Initiative is positive,
constructive. If the Initiative was in
force and you wanted a law for any .
purpose, you’d draw it up in proper '
form and circulate it as a petition. If '
you get the requisite number of signa- ■
tures to it—say five per cent —then it '
goes to the legislative body when it !
takes precedence of all other matter.
They have got to vote on it. They can
accept, reject, amend or do anything '
they want with it. If it passes, it be- 1
comes a law subject to the Referendum, '
the same as other laws. If they don’t 1
pass it or pass it amended, it goes to '
the people to vote on at the next elec
tion and if a majority vote in a favor
of it, it becomes a law no matter
whether every legislator was against ■
it, no matter whether every ,
corporation in the “heavens above i
or m the earth beneath or in the wa- ,
ters under the earth,” said they did not ,
want it.
These two together constitute direct
legislation, which means the power in
the hands of the people whenever they
want to exercise it. It is simply the
extension of the right of petition. The !
right is old, highly valued and largely
useless because the petitions do not
necessarily mean any action. They
are pigeon-holed or thrown into the '
waste paper basket. But the Referen
dum and Initiative petition are differ- '
ent, they have got to be acted on. ,
They can not be neglected, smothered
or thrown into the waste paper basket.
They force the matter to a vote.
It is the method in use in all our de
liberate bodies. One man gets up and
makes a motion, five per cent of the
voters get up and make a motion ; that i
is the Initiative. It is referred to a 1
committee to investigate and for their ;
counsel, the subject initiated goes to 1
the legislative body for deliberation <
and counsel. Then the body votes on 1
it; that is the Referendum or the vote J
of the whole people on any matter. It
is the method used in all deliberate ]
bodies.
It is common sense, too. If you had
a cook and she should cool; and send
up a most wretched dinner, you’d not
eat it but get one some where else and
you'd soon get a new cook. But your i
THE PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER: ATLANTA, GEORGIA; FRIDAY, JANUARY 21 1898.
i legislative cooks send up the most dis
gusting messes and you’ve got to swal
low them whether you like it or not.
The May Review of Reviews says of
• the N. Y. Legislature : “It would be
a relief to the people of the State of
New York to have this legislative ses-
’ sion come to an end. So bad a legisla
■ tive session has never been known in
the annals of the State from colonial
times down to the present year. Such
flagrant misconduct, in our judgment
has scarcely been known in any Amer
ican Legislature and that is saying a
good deal.’: But the people of New
York have no way of stopping the
session, but that is a small evil com
pared with the fact that they cannot
stop any of the wretched laws from
going into effect.
Notice one other point. Direct Leg
islation can be applied to a community
of any size from that of a village to
that of the city, the State and the Na
tion. You will not have to wait till
you have persuaded a majority of the
nation before it can be applied. Begin
right now with your own locality or
state. It both is and can be applied to
scattered membership such as that of a
trade union.
AGAINST THE POLL TAX.
Justice Chester Declares Such Restriction
Unconstitutional.
Justice Chester, of the Supreme
Court, yesterday decided that the law
providing for the payment of a poll
tax as a qualification for the exercise
of the right of franchise was unconsti
tutional. Former Senator David B,
Hill was the attorney for those who
contested the constitutionality of the
charter of the village of Saugerties
providing for the payment of a poll tax
by voters at charter elections.
Senator Hill urged that it was con
trary to the constitution to prevent, in
any way, a qualified voter from exer
cising the right of franchise.
Justice Chester decided that the pay
ing of a poll tax imposed an additional
vision to those of the constitution upon
the voter’s right of franchise, and that
any such condition was unconstitu
tional.
Many villages of the State contain a
similar prohibitive provision.—N. Y.

Dooly County Populists.
I hereby call a mass meeting of the
People’s Party of Dooly county to meet
at the court house in Vienna, on Tues
day, January 25 th, at 12 o’clock m, for
the nurpose of electing a new county
executive committe and re-organizing
tne party, and electing delegates to
the state convention which meets in
Atlanta on the third Wednesday in
March, and also to attend to any other
business which may 'come before the
meeting. Every Populist in the county
is cordially invited to be pressent. Al]
reformers and lovers of good govern
ment are invited to attend the meet
ing. W, B. Mathews, Chm.
ARE YOU READY BOYS?
The state campaign in Georgia as
well as in several other states is now
fairly on and will close'just 39 weeks
from to day. A week is a short time
but if well used brings great results.
Suppose YOU send in ONE new sub
scriber every week from now on! You
can do it. If you do it, every nook and
hamlet can be covered with reform
literature and your cause will win.
It is only a few weeks off to the
heat of election. Your neighbors
won’t read then —they will, now.
Why not get reform papers to them
now, when good can be accomplished ?
Time slips by rapidly and you will
wake up to the need of “hot shot” too
late to do any good. This has been
true in other campaigns—will you lose
in 1898 in the same way?
There are over 100 000 populists in
Georgia alone. How many circulate
reform papers? How many do you
know of who don’t even read a reform
paper?
The state convention meets in At
lanta on March 16. After that day,
the excitement commences. Every day
counts now while the county meetings
are being held. Make it count before
planting time comes on when you can
not afford to leave the farm and work
for your paper and when there is no
money among your neighbors, A few
eggs, a chicken or two and enough can
be raised to bring some paper every
week. Get some paper to them that
you know is true to the cause.
We want the name and address of
every delegate to the state conventions
to be held in March. Send your name
in on a postal or if you are a chairman
or secretary send the list of your coun
ty delegation. We want the list of
every delegation as well as those of
Georgia, Texas, Alabama and other
southern states. Send them in as soon
elected.
Special campaign club prices have
arranged to suit the hard times
that there is no excuse for any coun
ty not having a large list. These
prices include every reform paper
printed. Now get down to business!
Send in your names and ask for cam
paign club rates. Address,
