Modern Despotism.
The conflict between liberty and des
potiara, between freedom and tyranny,
has ever waged in one form or another.
The object in all ages has been to place
a favored few in a position to lay trib
ute upon the many. Once it was the di
vine right of kings against the rights of
of the people, later it was the false idea
of the superiority of one race over an
other. Now it is monopoly.
This spirit of greed and avarice or
commercialism is manifest in nations as
well as individuals. Within sixteen
years England has acquired, by hook
and by crook, two million square miles
of territory. This land grabbing mania
is called imperialism.
Russia and even the United States
seem to have caught the disease.
The ancient despot made slaves of
those whom he had subjugated, the
modern despot deuie- the right of self
government and levies taxes
withot representation. The commercial
despot attempts to control the neces
saries of life through the organization
of the modern trust, thereby eliminating
competition.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
exclusive privileges wore sold to manu
facture or trade in many articles, to
favored courtiers. Now we usually give
away the privilege, often throwing in a
valuable land grant or a subsidy.
To protect the trust we put a duty
upon foreign goods to prevent compe
tion.
As every empire is ereoted upon the
grave of liberty, so ever great trust is
built npat the expense of the individual.
The imperial political monarch and
the modern monopolist are alike despot
lo and a menace to freedom, equal
rights and eqnal opportnnity.
Over and against this modern despot
ism stands the eternal principles of
truth and justice. Woe be to that na
tion which ignores these principles.
The above from “The Family Circle,”
of Minnesota, will cause serious reflec
tions and should impress every man
with the troth that monopolists are des
potic and a menace to freedom, equal
rights and equal opportunity. The fact
however, that long since ought to have
been recognized is, that the conflict be
tween liberty and despotism, between
freedom and tyranny will never be ad
justed in favor of liberty and freedom
through the agency of the old parties.
Tim can only be done through anew
party, ba°ed on the eternal principles of
truth and justice, and the People’s pax
ty is the only xxarty today that can go
before the American voters and consist
ently and conscienciously ask their
Bnppc rt, knowing that it aloue of the
three great political parties stands for
these eternal principles of truth and
justice.
The skyes are brightening and Popu
lism still lives.
Sam Jones Goes
For The Democrats.
From the Daily Atlanta Constitution of
June 16.
15am Jones had his war paint on last
night at the Baptist Tabernacle revival
and he was never kuown before to be so
terribly denunciatory of what he said
were crying evils in Atlanta and the
state of Georgia.
He arraigned the mayor of the city, at
tacked the demooratio party, denounced
the state convention, raked hypocritical
church members fore aud aft, poured
out the vials of his vituperation on the
tipplers and the saloons, and then told
the people if they didn’t think it was
preaohing they could lamp it.
He spoke of the “drunken sot of a may
or in Atlanta” and ridionled the ohnroh
members whom he said were afraid to
tell what they know in the council com
mittee. He Mid he wonld wallow with
the hogs before he would let a man like
the mayor of Atlanta preside over him;
stated that a member of the iuves ligat
ing committee said a ohnroh member
swore that he believed the mayor had
the sweoney or the spavin at the board
of education meeting, aud declared that
the carcasses of suoh old hypoorites
wonldn’t do to use in a soap faetory in
| hell.
Then he jumped on the demooratio
state convention and the demooratio par
ty, saying that the devil wonld get all
the “red-nosed rascals,” and remarking
that if the lightning had struck the state
oapitol yesterday all the fellows wonld
hare gone to “hell before their feet
got cold. ”
The Tebernaole wm packed lo over
flowing, and hundreds of people were
turned away at the doors. A great
many went to the place as early as 6
o’clock in the evening in order to get
front seats.
WHAT WOKE SAM JONES UP.
Dr. Broughton started the services by
making a few preliminary remarks about
the state convention leaving out the
prohibition plank or, rather, not intro
ducing the local option plank. This
seemed to touch Mr. Jones in a tender
spot, and it probably oaused him to get
on the thick coating of war paint and to
fire bis gatling gnu more fiercely than
he was ever known to “shell the woods”
in Atlanta before.
Mr. Jones began by walking over to
where the reporters have been provided
with a table and remarking:
“I see only a Constitution reporter
here tonight. I reckon I’ve soared the
fellow for the other paper away.”
He made a few preliminary references
about prohibition and selected his text,
which was:
“Wisdom is better than weapons of
war, but one sinner destroyeth much
good.”
He confined himself mostly to the “one
sinner destroyeth much good.” and in
that connection delivered himself of his
lively and fieroe excoriations.
The following are selections from his
remarks and they will serve to show
how very warm he was and how he
“spoke oat in meeting,” making fear
ful charges agaiust the city and the
democrats and liquor:
SrEAKS or ATLANTA’S MAYOR.
“Look at yonr drunken mayor and
the little deacons and stewards and
council members all trying to shield the
dirty rascal. 1 said last night, and I
say it again, that any man who oou
doues or seeks to excuse your mayor is
no better than the dirty rascal who has
disgraced yonr city. These church hyp
ocrites arc doing this. If I was run
ning a soap factory in hell I wonldn’t
use the carcasses of these fellows, and
the black bnzsards of damnation would
fly away from them.
*‘A member of the connoil committee
trying the drunken mayor told me that
it was disgusting to see how the chnrah
hypocrites came up aud on their oaths
dodged the questions that were asked
them. One witness, a church member,
who saw yonr major at a meeting when
he was so drank he didn’t know which
end of him was np, testified that he
thought the major was sick, Buffering
from the rheumatism or the spavin or
the sweeney. A member of yonr coun
cil told me that either the mayor had to
be impeached or he wonld resign from
the council. I wouldn’t let a thing
like that drunken mayor reside over me,
no, I wouldn’t. I would rather wallow
with the hogs. I would rather have a
flea or a louse. Wouldn’t you, Dr.
Broughton?”
“Yes, I would,” replied Dr. Brough
ton •
“There now, yon Constitution report
er,” exclaimed Mr. Jones, turning to
the reporter's desk, “get it down that
Dr. Bronghton aud Sam Joaes are to
gether, and you don’t need any fuuny
piciures about the doctor, either.”
WHAT HE THOUGHT OF DEMOCRATS.
In another part of his discourse, Mr.
Jones said:
“Talking about prohibition in Geor
gia, let me tell you that you will never
get it. in the democratic party. Those
democrats are a lot of red-nosed rascals,
and the devil is going to get the whole
gang. I wonld as leave go to Alaska
for pineapples or hell for ice water as
to the democratic party for anything
but whisky. If the lightning had hit
the capitol today, the whole gang would
have gone a flying to hell before their
feet got cold. There isn’t a trough long
enough down at the Kimball house for
the hogs to swig in. I’ll go on to jail
before I’ll be a democrat. All the in
spirations aud aspirations of the demo,
orats is whisky from snout to tail. I
will meet any old democrat on the
stamp in debate, and I’ll hold him np
till he kicks himself to death. I’ve got
more respect for the lowest down bar
room bum in this city than I have for a
preacher who is a democrat.’’
SOME SHOTS AT LIQUOB.
In denonuoing liquor, he said:
“The man who sells the dirty stuff it
no worse than the fellow who licenses
or drinks it. .Some of yon fathers and
mothers drink just a little bit for yonr
health. Yon old beer-swigging sister,
it wonld be better for yon to die and fly
on to heaven than to stay here and go
to hell and drag yonr ohiidren with yon.
Some of these little doctors are going
around giving men whisky ond women
morphine for anything from a wart on
their nose to a corn on their toes. The
miserable frands, they are going to hell
like a shot out of a cannon.”
Some Facts
--OF—
IHTERESTTO YOU
I sell the best Buggies on
the Market.
I sell 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 I 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 can only see
two or three different styles, when you can come to my
place and see A HOUSE FULL, no two alike, and
take advantage of the above prices.
Thos. A. Maynard,
The Largest Dealer in Vehicles East Ga.
Winder, - - Georgia.
He touched np the detectives and po
lice in Atlanta, and said they “only
caught the niggers in Darktown and
Hell’s Half-Acre for Jedge Briles to
send np at his mantinees, bat never
caught any thing they didn’t want to
catch They did manage to catch the
Salvation Army, and it wonld be best
for Atlanta if the police were driven off
the streets instead of the Salvation
Army.”
SHELLING THE WOODS.
While “shelling the woods,” he said,
among other lively things:
“If one guilty dog or doggess can do
much evil, what will 26,000d0 in a city?
“A preacher—a Baptist preacher—
told me he couldn’t hold any revival in
his chnrch as long as his deacons went
to New York and gambled.
“A preacher who isn’t a prohibition
ist is the devil’s little billie goat instead
of being a lamb.
“God deliver ns from these old long
tongued women who rnb around telling
tales. They can sit iu the parlor and
lick the skillet in the kitchen.
“Some of yon may ask why I don’t
preach a smooth sermon like I did last
night, and my answer is that last night
I stack to the text and tonight I am
sticking to my crowd.”
At the conclusion of his discourse, he
asked all present to stand np who in
dorsed every seutiment he had uttered
and “ever p’int” he had made. The
entire congregatiou arose.
