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. Hardwick Bill Will Be Introduced Again. Atlanta Journal Hon. T. W. Hardwick, of Washing* ton oonnty, who was recently eleoted to the legislature, says that he will again introduce a bill providing for the dis franchisement of the negro.
