The Demcratic Doctrine, From I lie Notional Democratic Plat-] form Adopted At Chicago J tine I 22nd, 1892. *‘Wc denounce the 7tepublican legisla-] tion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as] a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possM bilities of danger in the future } which: should make all of its supporters, as well, as its author anxious for its speedy repeal.! We hold to the use of both goth gold and, silver as the standard money of the coun-i try, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminationg against ci ther metal or charge for mintage, but the dodir unit, of coinage of both metals must' be equal intrinsic and exchangeable value,- or be adjusted through international agrees menl or by such safeguards of legislation] as shall insure the maintenance of the pari ty of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market; and in the payment of debts; and we de mand that all paper currency shall be kept’ at par with and redeemable : n such coin.! We insist upon this as especially necessary; for the protection of the farmers and la-1 boring classes, the tirst and most defense less victims of unstable money and a fluc tuating currency. THE ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE. Some three months since we saw breakers ahead and, as is our cus tom, we sounded -the danger-horn,* for which we were severely criti-| cised. We were trying to urge* action that would have steered clear! of the danger, and let the eld ship! sail on over tranquil seas in the! happy climes of “successfulness.’'l But, as is usual # men nad forgot-1 ten their duty and did not want! to be told of it. But now, O, yes,| we all see it now. The ultra party! had the majority in numbers andj laid on the party lash, and actually! voted to charge the organic law! upon which the property was se-j curedj and said as plain as ac*| tions could say anything, “If we] cannot run it our way, we will ruin] it,’’ and actually voted against, or] postponed action, in order to keep] Worthville alliauce out of the warehouse management, because the director was a conservative man. It is a fine thing for the farmers who are holding certificates of stock that the ultra crowd did not have as much sense as adversity. One of them said, “If we caidt run it our way, let ’er go, let 'er go,” and it was a man you would think opposed to denying a man a voice in the management ol vested lights as guaranteed to every man under our laws. But, brethren J you need not bo uneasy. The] strong arm of the law is laid on, and you will get your money—ev ery cent of it. Yes. your money] that would have been squandered in speculation, and paid as big sal aries to those out of a job, is safe now in the hands of the Treasurer and will not pass out of them until there is a sound business ad justment of things. The conserva live element is willing to give o: take. In either case j our money is safe, and there is no cause for alarm. The brethren will ulti mately see the error of their way, and leai n the whole truth and be glad that their money 7 was not squandered, but managed on sound principles and returned to its proper owners—the men that produced it.j A WAR STORY. (by a butts county soldier.) CHAPTER 111 'Ve had a beautiful canop at Guin nia station, where we spent th time in drilling, standing guard; and playing cards, etc. As I ha been left at Gallsburg, I did not have much inclination to leavt camps, not even to visit the girls, but Lieutenant D. of our company was very fond ©f the ladies, so w. had not been in camp very long until he’had formed the acquaint ance of a young lady whose father was very wealthy. The young lady was very anxious to lorm the ac quaintance of some of his friends. Lieutennant D. was an old bach elor and she did not like him very much, so he inyited me to go with him. I tried to excuse myself, [from the fact I had no fine clothes to wear, but Lieutenant D. was not [to be outed. He loaned me his best [suit and a fine gold watch, ar.d the captain promised if they got orders to move he would set and for me. So ,we fixed up and started. On the way we agreed that he Would intro duce me as Dr. T. of the 45th Geor gia, As I was only a non commis sioned officer. I readily consented to it, not dreaming .f the trouble that awaited me. We spent the morning very pleasantly, and be foie leaving I promised, Oy her per mission, to yisit her on the follow ing Sunday, It was a long week with me, as I was in love at first sight; but Sun day came at last and Lieutenant] D. loaned me his best suit and watch again. I went early with a pass for the day. I found the young lady seated in the parlor window awaiting my arrival, but] mow, dear reader, this was where; my troubles began. I had not been' there bur a short time until Dr, Jones, their family physician, called 'to see a sick negro on the place. jMiss, L : za, as that was the young' [lady’s name, introduced me to hinv las Dr. T. of the 45th Georgia. ID: [went to sue his patient and found; him yery low. He came back to] [the parlor and requested me to go! with him to see the patient. What! jam Ito do, was ‘.he awlul question! [with me. I had never looked iu- Fide of a doctor book in my file. and [I didn’t know anything more about ja fever than a hog. But I was into: lit and had to get out the best way [ could. Dear readers, [ wished that I had never seen Lieutenant! !D.; I wished that I had never seen jthe fire suit and gold watch; 1 [wished that I had never heard of Miss Liza, yes, I wished that I was! jback in camps with my sergeant’s! jsuit on. 1 felt that I had rather be| jback in camps digging up a stump! ■for some offense than to be in m'yg 'condition. But I am into it and! will get out the best way I can,| jthis w r as my thought at the time.l consented to go with him. I wemi jin, felt of the negro’s pulse, made! [him run out his tongue, and as I] had learned from the doctor and! Miss Liza that he had the fever, l] was 0. K. I told the .doctor that! it was a very bad case. (I had] heard him tell the old gentleman! it was a bad case, and I knew it] jwould not do for me to differ with] jhim.) The doctor said, “Yes, doc ] jtor, it is, and I belieye he will die] tin spite of us/’ ‘Well, doctor,] [that is just my opinion, and there [is no hope for him,” said I. So we returned to the house and in jformed the old gentleman of our [decision, and the negro did die [that evening. Now, dear reader, this is one of ray ups, for I was out of the worst [scrape of mv life up to that time; but I did stay out all the evening. I was afraid someone else would get sick, so I borrowed a book from Miss Liza to read during the next week, promising to return it the uext Sunday. Now, here comes in another one of my downs. The captain nor none of the boys knew that I was known at the farm house as Dr. TANARUS., and during the week we got orders |t o cook up three days’ rations and ito be ready to move at a minute's Swarning. I had got permission [from the captain to go and return rtbe book and bid my girl good bye, abut I did not get off soon enough, t'for Miss Liza had heard that we had! [orders to move and she was afraid] fl would not return the book. So] [while we were cooking and fixing/ ►preparatory to moving, her li tie* [brother came running into camps; at the top of his voice:! Where is Dr. T?* “Where is D IT?' A there was no such man in] |ihe 45th. no one could tc 11 him ; |but at last he saw me and came to § i fwhere I was and said to me, “Dr| |T.. sister wants her book/’ So the feat was out the wallet and I had to own up to what it all truant, and it is useless for me to say that I pvent by the name of Dr. 1\ fos Isomo time. During our stay at Guinnia sta tion our troops had evactif.te* York town arid were marching i he direction of Richmond, and th | tme was near at hand when w were to be engaged in actual war fare. [Continued next week] SI.OO A DAY AT THE WORLDS; FAIR. That is all it will cost any rm-d-j or of The Argus for lodging, win ; will cut this ont and take it to tin; headquarters of G. E.

S Mr. Warren Lived, a gcnt'cinan well known to our peopli ,is witli these; [hotels and will take special delight to| care lor auv who will cal! on him. It seems that there are a few! “things,” who claim to be alliance-] men, and whose names are on the] alliance books of the county, who] ‘are never satisfied unless they are! ■attempting to injure this paper, and ■our private business. To all suebj we would say, the whole people can ■easily see your pusillanimous little ness and laugh at vour niggardly] The Argus has raver] ’swerved from its duty and mission! and that is, to always work for the] upbuilding of every interest off Butts county. We have ever ad-1 vised the alliance to keep out of] politics, and you may resolute as! you please, but we wi.l still be found shooting the same advice into your ranks. A’hen you injure this paper \ou are sapping the life trom the fountain-head that has done the county, and will yet do it.! more good than any other one en-! terprise, But thanks to heaven, the enemies of the Argus are too small tilings to do us any harmj but, on the contrary", every time! they attempt it it helps our cause. They remind us a certain little hug! that, when he rolls his ball up to a] mountain, stops and demands the! mountain to'move, so he can roil himself along. DISMISION.

J. /Janies, on 22nd iust., was an eu qoyable occasion, having a son in Florida, Avlioui the mother had not seen in ten "years, another in Texas, others here and J here. We all gathered together at the |home of their childhood, under the ven erable old oaks, where we boys (now |son-in-laws of the old gent,) used to hitch jour horses, were spread all the good eata bles that heart could wish. After feasiing ion these to the content of our appetites, Uhe children, about forty in numbei, be !gan their plays in various ways, which :they seemed to enjoy very much, while 'we older ones sat and talked as of yore. ' Occasions like these are rare. After ■spending the day so pleasantly the time came for us to go to our respective homes, parting probably never a’l to meet again in anothar reunion, the sad part came in, | and we are reminded of the swiftness of| time. But may our lives be so spent that? at last we wall, as an unbroken family,| reunite in that beautiful “City of Light”| prepared for all the good of earth, where! parting is not known. Thos. E.
