All true Populists can now go to work
and help elect Barker and Donnelly.
Thousands of men will support the
populist ticket, this year who have here

There will boa great political revolu

The people are at last beginning to
think for themselves and show their
love of freedom.
Georgia had the honor of furnishing
the permanent chairmau of the Nation
al Populist convention at' Cincinnati
last week, ia the person of Cok Peek,
of Rockdale county.
Cincinnati Popu
list Convention.
The National convention of the Peo
ples party met at Cincinnati on Wed
nesday of last week and was iu session
two days. It was largely attended by
tried and true populists from all over
the Union, by men who are in earnest
and who conscientiously believe that
the principles for which we stand are
just and right and for the good of Im
munity—especially the great common
people. We never saw a body of repre
sentative men, composing ad classes
and professions, but a majority of
whom were farmers, who were more
determined, earnest and sincere than
those who met together iu national
convention at Cincinnati last week to
pledge anew’ their allegiance to a cause
which to a patriot is as dear as life it
self. It was no convention controlled
by money combines, professional politi
cians and thngs. Georgia received her
share of the honors of the convention,
Col. W.L. Peek h wing been elected
permanent chairman and Gen. Wm.
Phillips placing in nomination Mr.
Barker as onr candidates for president.
We met many men from different
sections of on? great country at Cincin
nati of whom we will ever have pleas
ant recollections. Men who are brave
and true to their convictions and will
ever stand by those conviotious.
Every Populist in the United States
can feel assured that this w’as reallv
and tin y agenu.ue populist convention
freed lrom all taints of fusion, and that
the ticket nominated is one that can
command your respect, your zealous
support aud admiration. Our duty now
is to go to werk for its success, uphold
acd defend these two grand men and
the platform on which they stand. Let
uothiug discourage you, be strong, de
termined, bold, aggressive aud true and
lirm aud undaunted iu yonr purposes.
Barker and Donnelly.
For President—Wharton Barker, of
Pennsylvania. ,
For Vice Presikent —Ignatius Don
nelly, of Minnesota
Above is the ticket nominated by the
Povnlist party assembled in National
Convention at Cincinnati lust week.
There will be no national ticket before
the American people this ye?r possess
ing more Ira n, patriotism and charac
t r than the one above mentioned.
Both the gentlemen nominated are men
of national reputation and men of es
tablished character and honor.
They are men that all intelligence is
iorced to respect and admire. They
are men who have studied the great
problems that confront us and who are
in sympaihv wLli the masses and wi h
die people who bear the burdens and
produce the sveaith of our conn try.
The Louisville Courier Journal has
the following in its writeup of theCiu
cinnatti convention concerniug Mr.
Barker:
“ vYharton Barker was born in Phila
delphia May 1, 1846. He is the grand
son of Jacob Barker, who was a relative
of Ben j anin Franklin. Mr. Barker
was graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1866 Since 1880 he
ha 9 been a trustee of that institution.
In 1869 he entered the banking firm of
Barker & Cos., of Philadelphia, and
gained a wide reputation.
Alexander 11, of Russia decorated
him in 1878 with the of St. Stan
uislans.
The banking firm was carried down
by the Baring Bros., of London, fail
ure. Since 1890 Mr. Barker has devot
ed most of his energies toward building
up his People’s party weekly paper,
the American. Mr. Barker’s residence
is at Wyncote, twelve miles from Phil
ade'p’nia ”
Mr. Donnelly’s reputation as a states
man and schollar is known by every
American who has ever studied the
history of his country. Wo, therefore,
reiterate that the ablest ticket before
the American people in the coming
election for president and vice presi
dent will be the one nominated by the
Populist party at Cincinnati last week.
The platfoim adopted is what the peo
pie want and we hope that every hon
est and sincere man in the Union will
carefully and seriously read it and ask
himself the question “Am I doing my
duty to myself aud family to my coun
try and my God to antagonize this
platform and Mr. Barker aud Mr.
Dounelly, the ouly national ticket be
fore the people that stands for this
platform.
THE PLATFORM.
The People’s Parly of the United
States, assembled in national conven
tion this tenth day of May, 1900, affirm
ing our uushokcu belief iu the cardinal
tenets oj the People’s Party, as setforth
in Omaha platform, and pledging our
selves anew to continued advocacy of
those grand principles of human liherty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and pro
claim this declaration of faith:
First—We demand the initiative aud
referendum and the imperative man
date for SU‘ h changes of existing fun
damental and statute law as will ena
ab'e the people in their sovereign ca
pacity to propose and compel the enact
ment of snch laws as they desire; to re
ject such as they deem injurious to their
interests and to reoall unfaithful public
servants.
Second—We demand the public own
ership and operation of those means of
commnnication, transportation and pro
duction which the people may elect,
such as railroads, telegraph and tele
phone lines, coal mines, etc.
Third—The laud, including all natur
all sources of wealth, is heritage of the
people, and should not be monopolized
for speculative purposes, and alivn own
ership of land should be prohibited. All
land now held by railroads i and other
corporations iu excess of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens should bo reclaimed by the Gov
ernment and held for actual settlers
only.
Fourth —A scientific and absolute pa
per money, based upon the entire
wealth and population of the nation not
redeemable in any specific commodity,
but made a full legal tender for alt debts
and receivable for all taxes and public
dues and issued by the Government
only without the intervention of banks*
and in sufficient quantity to meet the
demand of commerce, is the best cur
rency that can be devised; but until
such a financial system is secured,
which wo shall press for adoption, we
favor the fre and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ratio of
16 to 1.
Fifth—We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated fax on incomes
and' inheritances and a constitutional
amendment to secure the same, if nec
essary.
Sixth —We demand the election of
President, Vice President, Federal
judges and United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
Seventh—We are opposed to trusts
and declare the contention between the
old parties on the monopoly question is
a sham battle and that no solution of
this mighty problem is possible without
the adoption of the principles of public
ownership of pnbl c utilities.
The old time enthusiasm of Populists
will be seen again this year as big ral
lies will be held all over the state.
To preserve the liberties of the peo
%
pie the election of the populist party is
essential. Men who have been oppos.
in" us are beginning to realize this
truth and will vote with us in the com
ing election
T,he National Populist convention at
Cincinnati last week was r. grand suc
cess. Barker and Donnelly, the nomi
nees, are two of the ablest men that
will be before the people this year for
president and vice president.
If you believe in a government for
the people and run by the people, help
the Populista to elect their ticket in
Georgia this year. Now is the time to
show you think more of principles than
party.
The Democratic Primary.
The democratic primary in this coun
ty Tuesday resulted iu the nomination
of Holder for the senator, Stevens
for Sheriff, Ross for ordinary, Appleby
for clerk, Moon for receiver and Brock
for collector. The Three latter gentle
men hd i o opposition in their party.
In a fe v weeks tha Populist party
will place their ticket iu the field and
w r e trust the campaign in this county
will be an honorable one and free from
all bitterness or anything unmanly.
Multum In Parvo.
Progressive Farmer,
Not for many months have we read a
better, sounder, more thought provok
ing bit of political doctrine than this
paragraph from Paul Leiceester Ford’s
famous novel, ‘ ‘The Honorable Peter
Stilling.’’ Ic goes right to the root of
the matter aud presents within a few
brief sentences what many a man would
write a volume in an endeavor to say.
We quote:
“Society ana personal freedom are
only possible in conjunction, when law
or public opinion interferes to the de
gree of repressing all individual acts
that inter c ere with the freedom of oth
ers; thus securing tha greatest individ
ual freedom to all. So far as physical
force is concerned we have pretty we’l
realized this condition. Becanse a
man is strong, he can no longer take
advantage of the weak. Bat strength
is not limited to mascle. To protect
the weak mind from the strong mind is
rn equal duty, rnd a far more difficult
task. So far we have ouly partially
succeeded. In this difficulty lies the
whole problem Socialism, so far as it
attempts to suppress individualism, and
reduce mankind to an evenness opposed
to all natural laws, is Buicidal of the
best in favor of mediocrity. Bat so
far as it attemps to protect that med
iocrity and weakness from the superior
minds of the best, it is only in line with
the laws which protect us from murder
and robbery.”
Never, iu our opinion, has the matter
been so olearly stated iu so few words.
This selection is worth preserving.

I sell the best Busies on
the Market.
Isell them at the old prices
for Cash.
A good Note gets them at
the same Figure.
You Want to Know How I Can do This?
I ANSWER:
Because I buy them in Carload lots.
Because 1 pay the spot Cash for them.
Because I bought them before the Advance.
DO YOU WANT ONE?
IF YES, then why should you go where you enn only see
two or three differentjstyles, when you can come to my
place and see A HOUSE FULL, no two alike, and
take advantage of the above prices.

The Devil Investigating
Sin.
Because the steel trust closed down
twelve of its mills and threw 6,300 men
out of the means of getting a living,
congress rushes into the breach and ap
points a committee of seven to investi
gate, and will tax the people many
thom-ands of dollars to pay the expen
ses. That is the way to get relief—tax
the people some more. But please tell
me what more right congress has to in
quire into the causes of the owners of
the mills sVutting down than it has to
inquire into my closing the Appeal of
fice if I want to? Everybody knows,
who knows anything, that the shut
down is to make more money for them
in some way, and what difference does
the manner of it make? They own the
steel plants and have the right to run
them or shut them down as they please.
If congress or the public don’t like it
they can do the next be.:t thing. You
know what that is. If the people want
a voioe in the matter of the steel mills
of the country, why don’t- they vote for
people who will have congress at once
proceed to erect mills and open them
for the benefit of the public, and over
these mills congress will have a right
of inquiry—but not over plants that
corporations own. On this committee
to investigate will be appointed men
who are interested in the steel or other
trusts. It will be a case of appointing
the devil to investigate sin. And we
are a great and wise nation!—Aappeal
to Reason.
