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*. ELECTION NOTICE ! .
