% Abatis • United States bond?
A. A simple promissory note.
Is it se.< ur?d t
A. Upon nothing in tho heavens
-d ove; «irth beneath, noi tho
.•a er ».n b*r tho earth.
Q It what is it payable ?
A. In gnld^
Q. What is a greenback ?
A A United States promissory
n .to
Q, Is it secured ?
A S-Hiio as h bond.
Q In what is it payable?
A. In gold.
Q. Wherein then, does a bond dif¬
fer from a greenback t
A. A bond draws intercut (5 per
cent.); is not a legal tender in the
payment of debts; does’not circulate
as money. A gr onback circulates
is money, bears no interest aud is a
legal tender in payment of all debts,
Q. Whew* will you get gold to
doom tho greenbacks ?
A. I will answer tho quo* tion by
asking another: Whore will \v»u got
gold to redeem the bond ? If a bond
(of a million dolhrs runs twenty
yenr< at 5 per cent., it requires two
million in gold to redeem it.
Q Must 1 then infer that our ob¬
ligations cannot be paid in gold ?
A. Certainly they cannot. It is
nought by the gamblers in the White
House and out of it to make the
deb: perpetual that you and your
children and childrens’ children may
pav interest forever.
Q. What remedy do you adnse ?
A. By statute, j. me silver tc b * *
ei.mc :n« ney instend of a token
Then it will bo impossible for gam¬
blers to corner coin. Then issue 5(X)
million dollars full legal tender
greenbacks and but in circulation by
one year’s expense of the
government.
Q. What about redemptiou of the
present obligation?
A. Redemption in coin—gold and
silver—but when tho corner is de¬
stroyed there will be uo further de¬
mand for redemption.— SPURGEON
ODELL, in Southern Mercury.
FOR SHAME.
You arc a republican because the
republican party is a friend of the
people are vou ? That is the reason,
is i» ? Yes, yes. We understand
you now,
And you are a democrat because
the democratic party is and has al¬
ways been the friend of the great
plain working people. Yes, yes.
That is a good reason, and we are
glad you have made the discovery.
Now stand up here with
b icks against the wall.
Don’t be afraid. Yon oan’t
any closer together than your par¬
ties are.
Here it is, look 1
The repablioan and democtatic
parties have within the past four
months placed upon the people fifty
million more of bonded debt, while
there was due and uncodocted from
whiskey distillers 120 million dollar;,
and due and uncollected from the
Pacific railroads 65 million dollars.
Honestly, don’t you think yon
have acted the fool long enough ?
Of course the railroad* can be op¬
erated at lea* cost to the people
when they are bonded for three
times their cost, pay tax©*, pay mill¬
ions for lawyers and advertising and
big salaries, and pay immense sums
for baying favorable legislation. The
idea that tbe nation owning raihoads
and not having these expenses could
do it cheaper- Why that’s one of
tne craxy populist ideas. When your
neighborhood gets affected by snob
heresy, tend at one for some able
corporation lawyer and talk it out of
them light away.
TOM WATSON.
Listen to tho warbling of th© New
York sun:
Jumping Hade, had Torn Watson, glorious the Crack
Mr some moments
*•» chairman of the Georgia Populist
convention on Wednesdav. Tom
strangled the octopus of corruption,
broke the hvdra head of monopoly,
i»rono.inc**d the doom of privilege,
sound d to the trembling ears of
; . his terrible approach, punch*
• <1 the money devils in the midri’.
iro.cated everything he didn’t defy,
na*.’ •! ft head of agriculture, took
h.bor uy the hand, and finally jump¬
ed three hundred and five feet
straight up in tho air, wrote the
Omaha platform on a white cloud,
and can?e down in a scintiiating
shower of red edged adjectives. Tom
is to be tho Populist candidate for
congress in his district again, aud
tho welkiu had better take the door
bells off.
Well, we’ll ber-dog-gone ! If Tom
did all that aud didn’t get hurt, he’s
a lolly-cooler, and we've hoard noth
itig of Tom getting bmised in his
sky-scraping jump, We wonder if
Tom has yet slid down from that
while cloud ? The Sun says he
came down in a “scintillating shower
of red-edged adjectives.” Now, tbis
may seem to some that the Sun was
cussing Tom; if it is, who is hurt 1
We thought it was cussing him un¬
til wo consulted Mr. Webster aud
asked him who Mr, Scintillating was
—and he told us he was a man who
emitted sparks or tine ingenious par¬
ticles, or to sparkle as a fixed star.
Well, wc all knew Tom was a big
man, but we didn’t know that thoso
fellows away up in New York would
over call him a star, and say that he
belongs to sit on a white cloud in
heaven and hold out the Omaha
platform. But a man can’t toll what
is going to happen under Mr Cleve¬
land’s kingdom.
Wo don’t believe Tom will have to
hold the Omaha platform up there
long, boforo God will stretch out His
hand and place it upon the cloud as
ho did the rainbow, and thus say to
Tom as He spake to Noah, “Tnis is
a token that money and monopoly
shall not rule inv people!”
WALTER AND GROVER.
And Grover, with a di-pleased
countenance, opened his mouth and
spake, saying:
“Walter, I am surprised that thou
shoulds’t claim these common weal
tramps as working nun, when it has
been demonstrated, even since they
have been in my cap:to!, that they
have refused work when twas offered
thorn.”
Walter answered, saying: “Siro, I
too am surprised at thy ignorance
when a lot «»f vtupid reporters of f ho
press, of thy .©aim, setiu out tele¬
grams to their boss* s it is but nat¬
ural th“V should attempt, by misrep¬
resentation, to influence public opin¬
ion against these men.
“Thoy have made it appear that
an alleged owner of a certaiu piece
of suburban property had offered the
Coxeyites the privilege of camping
on it, and further, had offered $500
to clear it of bushes, etc:, which
would only take three weeks to ac¬
complish.
“Sire, work this problem and then
say no more on the subject. If 400
men earn $500 in three weeks, what
will each man’s wages be per day ?
Thou bast had grave fears of these
men looting thy treasury, but they
did not rorae for any such purpose.”
TAKE HEED.
He that taketh away his neigh¬
bor’s living slayeth him.
He th*it defraudeth the laborer of
his hire is a blood-shodder.
Thou shalt not give him thy money
upon usury, nor lend him thy vict¬
uals for increase.
The bread of the needy is their
life; he that defraudeth him thereof
is a man of blood.
The land shall uot be sold forever,
for the land is mine.
Thou hast takeu usury and in¬
crease, and thou hast greedily gained
of thy neighbor by extortion.
The above, and much more of
similar import may be found in a cer¬
tain book which many persons keep
in sight, but not in spirit. They are
reproduced here lest they should fall
into disuse for “spiritual edification,”
Officers are public servants, eh ?
Do yon really think so ? Officers
draw from $3 to $300 a day; how
much do you draw ? What employer
do you know who pays his servauts
more than his income? Why do you
vote to pay others good salaries and
go in rags and want yourself No ?
wonder there is such a scramble to
get positions under such an. employ¬
er. Don’t yon think men are awful
green to wuit to be public servants?
How much did yon clear last year?
Congress is Coxey-scared. It
woald be eonscience-stricken if it
were thought that congressmen had
any natural basis for such a feeling. |

THE SIGN.
To the President of the United
States, Washington, D. 0.
Dear Sir. We have this day sent
to Washington a sign to be placed in
some conspicuons position* vo that
the people may all see it,
Yf ONEY to loan here for a long period of
lu year#, at one per cent, interest upon
the d*p<>»it of government bonds as secur
ity. The interest on the bonds eo depos¬
ited will be sent to the depositors every 6
months, at oar expense, in gold.
This exceptional offer is made to money
loaners only, in conformity with the estab
lirhed policy of this and all other depart¬
ments of the United States Government, to
extend aid only to non-producers.
Farmers. Manufacturers, needing Merchants and
Trades-people with which and others money
workmen and to develop carry on bestnc**, employ
I the Nation’s Uo
sonrees. circumstances are not adpiitied If they here under any
have the security,
the they National can get ail the money they want at
IVanks. AT TEN PER CENT
INTEREST.
It might be placed across the $40,
000 bronzo doors of the National
Capitol, or bo placed at the base of
the dome of the new Libtarv build¬
ing, on the southwest side, just bo
low the 10,000 square feet of dome
surfaco that now, while 10,000,000
men are but partly employed, and
5,000,000 more are suffering for tho
want of employment and tho want of
bread, is being covered with pure
gold leaf at a cost of $27 per ounce
to tho government.
The position on the southwest
side of tho dome will perhaps bo the
best place for the sign, as the cotton
raisers of the .South, and tho wheat
raisers of tho West can then all seo
it from the same point of view.
Wo respectfully suggest that after
the said sign has once been put in
position, that it he allowed to stay
there until tho statements that ap¬
pear upon it have ceased to be true.
Truly yours.
Many American Voters.
THE JOURNAL’S PET COON DOWNED.
Mr Editor, this populist does not
propose to consume space in repro¬
ducing tho letter of the Hoo, W. A.
Colby, or tho comments of the Jour¬
nal thereon; but be it sufficient to
say, that tho writer happens to know
said Colby very well, anti makes
these points against him:
1st. Ho was not a delegate to the
convention.
2nd. IIo would say anything for
so small an amount a? would pur¬
chase a drink of whisky
3rd. He totally unworthy of be¬
lief.
4th. He has not hesitated to work
tho ‘‘hungry racket” during the past
year to get a dime to buy a arink
with.
5th. Ho i3 wholly incapable of
writing the card which appeared
over his signature in the Journal
The Journal closes its article by
saying: “Colby is said to be a very
influential politician among his race/
This is perhaps news te nis race.
The Journal delights to persecute
“one-eved Osborn,” but is now stand¬
ing as sponsor for an ignorant, besot¬
ted, worthless, truthless, one-legged
negro. It seems to be a matter of
taste.
“O, boware my lord, jealousy 3
a green-eyed monster which doth
make tho meat it feeds on,”
E. WlTTICH.
Atlanta, Ga., May 22, 1894.
The ueprro who amused the Journal,
Is to some rather inclined to be infernal:
For the democrats know it to be a fake,
But they cannot stand to seo others take
The coon from their own dear fold,
Therefore, the Journal says, behold, behold!
Now, dear Journal, we beg to 6ay,
We do not care to grieve your way;
But, if you the coon continue to fight,
He will surely burst your blather-skite,
For the e’ectious that came off in May,
Are not like those of a coming day.
Old cooney holds r-e- be balance of wer,
The Jounral would m* ke to be right
But cooney shakes his bead and mourns
Says Therefore, there’s difference ’twixt yours & yourn,
on the proper election day,
We will see about the 16th of May.
How long did you study to gain
your political knowledge ? Are too
inquisitive ana personal eh ? Well,
we beg your forgiveness, but we
were thinking that study had some¬
thing to do with knowledge, for if a
doctor don't study much and begins
to practice, he is called a quack, and
a lawyer is called a pettifogger, so of
course we thought you had been a
student of the science of government
for years, as you have been practic¬
ing voting so long. Of course you
are not a “heeler!”
What will the ruling oowers have
to do, what crimes will they have to
commit, to make you realize that a
despotism has been established ? Do
you know tyranny never boldly an¬
nounces its advent or purpose, but
sneaks in little by little until it has
the people by the throat with strong
laws and an army to uphold them ?
Americans, it may save you tears of
anguish in the future to do a little
thinkink in this year of onr Lord.
The man who is against another
6imply because he is a populist, de¬
serves tho prayers of all good people.
Let us pray that the Lord will visit
upon him a shower of brain*.
