IT HAS BEEN BORN-
The Third party babe has been
born and it promises to live until
next November, when the Demo
cratic party will put it to sleep along
side with its mother, Republicanism.
It was formed at St. Lon is against
the earnest protest of Southern Al-
lianoemen, and against the best in
terests of the Farmers’Alliance of
the Sooth.
Its platform is sent forth to the
world ; we publish it to-day that all
men may read and see what is de
manded by the new party.
The platform has many good
points about it and some that go to
th^Extremity of rottenness. It is
weighted down by a heavy political
creed that can never strike the heart
of the American people.
Several of its sections are copied
from the Ocala demands of the Far
mers’ Alliance and to them no ob
jection is entered. No mention,how
ever, is made of the tariff, a robber
institution that is sapping the very
life-blood of the conntry. Their de
mands ask the absolute abolishment
of all banks. They ask the govern*
meat ownership of railroads, tele
graph lines and telephones. It can
no longer be disputed that the best
way to control these corporations is
by the aid of regularly constituted
com missing*^
But one demand in their platform
is enough to sink it with Southern
men. It is the twelfth* demand.
Would that every man in the South
would read it. It is this :
have done noble, bailie. Kirg Cot
ton in ail his gorgro s array has
“spread his white raiment over the
Southeru hills and bids the navies
of the world come Jr son-like in
search of the snowy fleece.”
His sway has been a most rega|
one. It has carried with it many a
wonderful improves entf and the
history of the vast ltcrease of bis do
minion is full of the story of ad
vancement. Yet underlying all this
there is a sentiment amo: g bis sub
jects that bodes him no good, that
even thieatens to overturn bis king®
dom and make the royal ruler an
outcast snd a wanderer.
King Cotton’s throne is tottering,
his power is being weakened, and
unless some great assurance is given
to bis subjects of better times, the
overthrow of his dynasty is inevi
table.
The history of cotton production
is one that proves conclusively that
1oo much of the fl ecy staple is be
ing pi oduced, that prices are going
lower and lower, while the cost of
production is not materially de
creased.
The farmers have been at last re
duced to the necessity of stliing their
cotton for less than the cost of pro.-
duction, and as no business man will
continue such a course, there natu
rally arises the question, will the
cotton acreage be reduced. We be
lieve. that it will. It may take a
year or two to accomplish this re
sult, but it must even’uslly come.
The large kingdom of King Cotton
must be broken up and other king
doms must be established.
Cotton must be raised more cheap
ly and there must be less of the sta
ple raised. When these two things
are done, the solution of the cotton
problem will be at hand. The far
mer will hereafter raise his cotton
more cheaply and in addition will
raise more home supplies.
This question is one of the great
questions of the day, and to its pro
per solution it summons the united
efforts of the people.
KiEg Cotton no longer holds un
disputed sway, his throne is totter

SUCCESS IS WHAT WE WANT-
“There is nothing that succe ds
like success.” The Democratic par*
ty is now in a position to succeed if
it steers dear of political blanders,
sticks c’ose to the principles that
have endeared it to the people and
nominates for President a man who
can carry the donbtfnl States and
win the victory. -
In the light of past events and the
overwhelming testimony of preteat
opinion, we do. not believe that Mr.
Cleveland has sny chance whatever
of carrying the States necessary to
Democratic success. We do not be
lieve .he is the choice of one farmer
in five in the Southern States. We
believe bis nomination would be a
fatal, an inexcusable blunder on the
part of the National convention.
Even granting that Cleveland is
tie choice of every voter m the South,
we do not wish to see-the success of
the party jeopardized by. the nomi
nation of a man, no matter how good
a Democrat he may be, who cannot
win in the doubtful States.
Mr. Hill has never yet lo3t a bat
tle. He carried New York for Gov
ernor when Cleveland lost it for
President. He is undoubtedly the
choice of l£few York and can carry it
in the coming election. He is strong
in New Jersey and Connecticntt and
is by all odds the most available
man in the party. We believe he is
the choice of Goorgia, and that the
next National convention will nomi
nale him.
What we want is success, and we
are convinced that with Hill we can
succeed.
W hen anccess is attained, then let
reform do her work.

ern minds ? God knows the people

words of Wisdom.
In his speech accepting the prof
fered support of his State for the
Presidency, Mr. Hill among other
things said :
‘‘The reawakening of the Democ
racy all over onr land is a most aus
picious sign of the times. When
the people of France rose against op
pression, a hundied years ago, it
meant revolution, a change ol rulers
and asocial earthquake. When the
Democracy of America riee?,it means
an upheaval at the ballot box, a
change of their servants, and pi liti-
cal reform. This is true Democracy
This is the government ot; by and
for the people.
•‘When you tee farmers arousing

tions of labor stirring; when you
ses in every State the great dcmo-l
cra’ic party up and afoot, it means
that the reign of plutocrats is nearly
over and the bright day of Dcmoc.
racy is approaching dawn. Ti e use
of political parties is to promo e the
expression of the people’s mandates.
The function of statesman is to frame
and execute the same by just and
equal laws. The Democratic party
has this proud record. It is swift
in its responses to the people's needs
It mabes the choice of safe and wise
statesmen to the statutory landmarks
of the people’s progress and releases
their energies to an ever larger lib
erty.
“Democracy is progress. Liberty
is its vital air. Constitutions and
laws are voluntary, stli-unposed
safe -guards of Democracy. If any
words of mine could reach every fire
side in our laud, this is what I would
ask my fellow-countrymen at this
time to consider : A1 our troubles,
all our dangers, at this very hour,
after so many years of Republican
rule, are the direct consequence of
that rule, and flow from unconstitu
tional legislation by the very men
who sit shivering in fits over what
Democracy will do with power.
•'On the other hand, the Demo*
cratic party, which trusts the people
and would sge all the broad country
bared upon the people’s will, is pre
cise y that party whose creed has
ever been a strict interpretation of
the Constitution and the confinement
of the government to a few specific
granted powers. I commend those
contrasted facts to my fellow coun
trymen for neighborly debate and
fireside meditation till the snows
drift.”
There words are words of wisdom.
They come from a man who has ev r
l orne aloft vlie standard of Democ
racy. They indicate the line along
which he will fight for elec.ion, if
nominated. And from present indi
cations that little word •* If” has al-

IT IS HILL AND VICTORY.
The action of the New York con
vention in plain terms means Hill
and victory. The convention repre*
sented the enthusiastic democracy of
a State that is necessary to party
to success in the coming election. It
was made np of men determined to
go into the next election to win the
fight.
The platform of principles sounds
the keystone of the situation. It
pledges the New York democracy to
tariff reform, financial relief, bi
metallic cnnency, and economy in
public affairs. This is sufficient to
-show to the masses of the people that
New York is all right oa the public
questions of the day.
The demands of the farmer are
met in every instance, and the rule
ot.the masses of freemen against the
class of plutocrats is endorsed. Upon
such a platform • the democracy of
New York places its bearer David
B. Hill, who endorses its every prin
ciple, and to the people of the Union
they : recommended him as a suitable
candidate tor the presidency.
The tide is rolling in and Hill is
riding on the topmost wave.
It is Hill and victory.

ses’ speech before the St. Louis Con
vention.
Mr. Moses is right and he spoke
the truth^when he said that the State
of Georgia wonld not leave the Dem
ocratic party. The Alliance is not
going to be divided by Third party
sentiment, and if Western Alliance-
men seek to destroy all hopes of re
lief by forming a Third parly, Geor
gia and Southern Alliancemen will
have the manhood to stick to the
Democratic party and through it to
gain what they have long been fight
ing for.
SOUTHERN ALLIANCEMEN STAND
FIRM.
There is little sympathy with Third
partyism among the Alliancemen o(
the South, and this sentiment was
tally shown at the St. Louis conven
tion Tuesday, when the Southern
Alliancemen headed by Livingatoo,
of Georgia, announced their inten
tion of withdrawing from the con
vention if it declared in favor of
Third partyism.
The Alliancemen of the South will
not leave the Democratic party un
less driven ont of it, and as they
constitute a majority of the party,
even if an attempt were made.
They realize that relief is in sight,
if Democrats bat stand firm in this
election, and they have resolved to
stand in the Democratic ranks and
fight the battle there.
All honor to the Alliance of the
South. They will yet accomplish

—: Editorial Comment
“Repeal is not a proposal to stop at the
tariff of 1883 as a finality. My lan
guage expressly barred out that absurd
coinage fr.im 1792 to 1873. Shall such
law stum? There has been no such
legislation for freemen sires Cromwell
calh d the laws of England a tortuous
and unged y jumble.”
Howistbatfor di moeratic doctrine
on tbe silver question ?
The continued decline m the price of
cotton means one of two things: Ei
ther that the cotton acreage is not be
ing reduced as was thought .by most
cotton factors, or that tbe men holding
cotton have made up their minds to
keep tbe price of cotton down until it
is too late to plant any in order to keep
the farmers from covering the very face
of the eartb with tbe fleecy staple. It
is to be hoped that the acreage is being
reduced and that tbe farmers have
made up their minds to raise their cot
ton Ufbre cheaply than ever before.
The democracy must win this fall. To
do this requires first a platform of sound
principles and then a candidate who can
carry the party to victory. The plat
form should be so arranged as to c ver.
the many questions ot reform and relief
that now agitate4he public mind. The
candidate shonld be a man who can
conscientiously ataDd upon such a plat
form and who is strong enough to win
the doubtful States for democracy. The
platform will be framed at Chicago; tbe
nominee from the present outlook will
be Hill.
It is to be deplored that any division
should occur in the ranks of the Alli
ance, f r that organization is
for tbe go<d of the masses. But
of one thing tbe bitterest enemies of
tbe Alliance might as well rest assur
ed, ar.d that is that the Alliancemen of
tbe South are going to stand by the de
mocracy and win the victory. Thi n
they will show the world how to carry
out their price.pies.
