THE REFORMER IVBttsifBD Evsby Friday Evemno at FORT GAIN EH, GA. WAS. (». MANRKVILLE, Editor. FORT GAINES GA., NCV- 23 1894 Kaa*a*. Colorado ami Nebraska. Piivately the Tribune all along had great doubts of the populists carrying Kansas; and wo rather c*x pocted the defeat of Waite for gov¬ ernor in Colorado. Goading Kansas populists had informed us that they feared the mote v of the republicans lined upon the most impoverished class of voters. Tho republicans in Kansas had money in abundance, tho money power of tho oast, being resolved to crush out tho populist party in tnat stnto at any cost, not only for the purpose of wresting the state from the peoples’ control, hut also in tho hopo of discouraging tho financial re¬ form movement in other parts of the country. Hence the tremendous ef¬ fort put torth, such as few state elections in any part of tho country has ovor exhibited. In (’dorado Governor Waite’s ex¬ treme radicalism had alionaUuUtbo conservative element of his party, resulting in tho bolt led by tho load¬ ing party newspaper, tho Rocky Mountain News, which continued to fight him until within a few weeks of the election. Waite himself eon feased that ho had probably boon too radical, in liis speech accepting tho re-nomination. Tho thoughtful populists felt that his ^'radicalism would beat him, as it has, and it had much to do in pulling the party in Colorado down with him. But, as regards both Colorado and Kansas, tho republican party itself has boon defeated in states which were republican strongholds, and has also won them back tho next year time and again. Take Maine, and Massachusetts, and Illinois, and Iowa, for examples. Such changes aro tho conuno.i lot of all political parties. Next year Kan¬ sas and Colorado will bo all right again. 1 „ F n|h K ansas and Oolarado the (ho tactics P ^W^rratic press does not favor - fair elections, if it did we 70uld have thorn.—Ex.

To Tho Atlanta Constitution As I am one of the forty-seven i thousand democrats who voted with tho .populists on the third of Octo bor'and tho Gth of November, and also one of the 15,000 or 20.000 ad¬ ditional members whose ballots were thrown out and not counted by hon¬ est democratic managers, who are so buck cordially invited by you to come to tho democratic party, I wish first to explain that I am 56 years of age.

The Contract# Must Be Kept. It took hard work to elect the * leodid do’e"alien which represents t ie Peoples’ party in tho Georgia legislature, They were chosen because our people knew them to be worthy of confidence—true to their creed and their constituents. These gentlemen have a glorious opportunity to prove that we mean to keep faith with thoso who trust us. (in all sides there is disgust and discouragement among demo¬ crats and republicans because their chosen representatives violate party pledge and party platforms. disaffected Thousands of the from the two old parties have joined our ranks because they believe we are honest. They think we are sincere. They look upon us to re-erect the old standards of loyalty, purity and patriotism, If we fail. our people will lose heart, and tho great reform move¬ ment will die. They will not contin¬ ue to have faith in us if we preach one thing and practice another. Each member of our delegation in the legislature did his duty manfully in tho last campaign. lie denounced both tho old parties for hetrayii g the people. promising He scored the demo •crats for economy and giving us extravagance. lie scored them for promising free silver, and giving us the gold standard. He Legged the people to turn out the democrats, who wore not to be trusted, and to put in populists who would keep their contracts. We assured the people, in the most positive terms, that if they trusted us with office, wo would fur Mi an encouraging example of l• .ity to campaign pledges. \ fid we are doing so. Democrats that are when hugging the agree¬ able belief tho battle of 1896 begins, they will be able to use against us the deadly weapon of broken promises. They boast tnat they will be able to show to tho people that our men aro nc moie to bo trusted than theirs are. If they can do so, they ;;] • i ..i - us. and hurt us fatally. But our enemies will not Uv to wield any such weapon against us. Eaeli one of o r legislators knows what what is the the people expect and knows real danger of our situa¬ tion. No populist member of tho legis¬ lature will play into tho hands of our enemies. Each one of them will guard his own honor and that of the party which honored him. Tho greatest peril which confronts the peoples’ party is that we may fall into the habit of disregarding our platform pledges just as the members ot the two old parties , do.

STATE PLATFORM Of the Peoples’ Party-*-Read and Reflect. \Yo hereby renew our unqualified endorsement of the national platform of the Peoples’ party, and we favor in the State of Georgia the following reform: 1. The abolition of the present convict lease system which prosti¬ tutes to the greed of private avarice the State’s sovereign right to punish her citizens for violation of law. We believe the State herself should keep possession of her prisoners and should employ them upon the public roads and not allow them brought in coin petition with honest free labor, 2. Wo favor the furnishing of pri mary school books by the State to avoid the burdens put upon our peo¬ ple by tho frequent changes of text¬ books. We also favor the payment of the teachers monthly. 3. We favor the enactment of an unperverted Australian ballot law to be so framed as to allow illiterate or blind voters to receive aid in the preparation they of their ballots, when election. so desire, from the managers of 4. We emphatically condemn tho practice, of late becoming so preva¬ lent, of public officers accepting free passes from railroad corporations. We intend this condemnation to ap¬ ply to the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our national and state government. 5. Be ieving, as we do, that ‘hese eternal principles aro necessary to good government and to the preser¬ vation of our republican institutions: and, believing that a, supreme neces¬ sity now exists for a determined and organized struggle against the cor¬ rupt hereby despotism of centralized wealth, this we pledge ourselver anew to sacred task, and wo invite the earnest irrespective co-operation of all good citi¬ zens, of party; and upon these united efforts in behalf of the cause of constitutional liberty we reverently Almighty invoke the blessings of God.

A "2 r*j r a once, upon tho the one Peoples’ hundred party and of sixteenth America, anniversary in their iirst of national the declaration conven¬ tion, invoking upon their action the blessing of Almighty God, puts forth in the name and behalf of the people of this country, the following preamble and decla¬ ration of principles: The conditions which surround us best justify our cc-operation. Wo meet in the midst of a nation brought to tho verge of roorv 1. political and material ruin. Cor¬ ruption dominates tho ballot box, the legislatures, tho congress, and touehos even the ('inline of the bench. The people are demoralized. Most of the Stntcs have boon contpelh d to isolate tho vpters at the polling places to prevent universal intim¬ idation or bribery. The newspapers uiv> largely subsidized or muzsiled, public opinion silenced, business prostrated, our homes covered with mortgages, labor impover¬ ished, and tho lands concentrating in the hands of the capitalists. Tho urban work¬ men arc denied the right of oi'ganirati'cn for soil protection; imported pauperized labor beats down their wages: a hireling standing aimv, unrecognized by our laws, is established to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into European conditions. The fruits of tho toil of millions are boldly stolon to build up colossal fortunes for a few. unprecedented in tho history of mankind, and the possessors of these, in turn, despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific mode of governmental injustice wo breed tho two great classes—-tramps and million* aires. The national power to create money is appropriated to enrich bondholders. A vast public debt payable in legal tender currency has been funded into gold-bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people THE OLD PARTIES ARRAIGNED.—Bilver, which has been accepted as. anin since the dawn of history, has been demonetized to add to the purchasing power of gold by decreasing the value of all forms of property, as well os human labor, and the supply of currency ispurposcdly abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enterprises and enslave industry. A vast conspiracy against mankind has been organized o i two continents and is rapidly taking possession of the world. If mu met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convulsions, tho destruction civilization, or the Establishment of an absolute despotism. We have witnessed for more than a century tho struggle.- of the two great polit¬ the ical parties for power and plunder, while grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon people. We charge that tho controlling influences dominating both these par¬ ties have permitted the existing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now promise us any substantial ro form. They have agreed together to ignore in the coming campaign every issuo but one. They propose to drown tho outcries of plundered people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so that capitalists, corporations, national banks, rings, mists, watered stock, the demonetization of silver and the oppressions of tho usurers may bo all bo lost sight of. They proposo to sacrifice our homes, wives and children on the altar of Mammon; to destroy tho multitude in order to secure corruption funds from the millionaires. Assembled on the anniversary of the birthday of the nation, and filled with tlm spirit of the grand generation who established our independence, we sock to restore the government of the republic to the hands of “the plain people,” with which c’aes it originated. TIIE WAR IS OVER.—Wo assert our purposes to be identical with the purposes of the national constitution—“To form a more perfect, union, establish justice, in¬ sure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general wel¬ fare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and bur posterity.” Wo declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon tho love the whole people for each other and for the nation; that it. cannot bo pinned together by bayonets; that the civil war is over, and that every passion and resentment which grew out of it must die with it, and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, orio united brotherhood of freemen. Our country finds itself confronted by conditions for which there is no precedent in the history of the world—our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars in value, which must within a few weeks or months bo exchanged for billions of dollars of commodities comsumed in their production; the existing currency sup¬ ply is wholly inadequate to make this exchange; tho results the are falling prices, the for¬ We mation of combines and rings and the impoverishment of producing classes. pledge ourselves that if given power we will labor to correct these evils by wise ami reasonable legislation in accordance with the terms of our platform. Wo believe that the powers of the government—in other words, of tho pcople-r should be expanded (as in the case of the postal service) as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an intelligent people and tho teachings of experience shall .justify, to tho end that oppression, injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in the land, THREEFOLD DECLARATION.—While our sympathies as a party of reform are naturally upon tho side of every proposition which will tend to make men intelli¬ gent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions, important aS they are, as secondary to the great issues now piessing for solution, and upon which not only our individual prosperity but tho very existence of free institutions depend; and we ask all men iirst help us to determine whether we aro to have a republic to administer before wo differ as to tho conditions upon which it is to bo administered, believing that the forces of reform this day organized will never cease to move for¬ ward until every wrong is remedied and equal rights and We equal declare privileges securely established for all the men and women of tho country. therefore: 1. That tho union of tho labor forces of the United States this day consumated, shall be permanent and perpetual. May its spirit enter into all hearts for the salva¬ tion of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. AcJvir 2. Wealth belongs to him Vito elates it, and every dollar without an equivolent is vlbbery. “If any will not work, neither shall ho e;“ .intoynsts of rural alia'uVlC labor are the same; their enemies aro identical. 3. We believe that tho time has come when the railroad corporations . . ■ i.er own the people or t.ho people must own them, and should the government entc. upon tho work of owning and contioiling any or all railroads we should favor an amend¬ ment to the constitution by which all persons engaged in tho government service shall be placed under a civil service regulation of the most rigid character, so as to prevent the increase of the power of national administration by tlio use of such addi¬ tional government employes. The Planks of the Platform. 1. Wo demand a national currency, safe, sound, and flexible, issued by the gen¬ eral government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and piivate, and that without the use of banking corporations; a just, equitable and efficient means of dis¬ tribution, direct to tho people, at a tax not exceeding 2 percent., bo provided, as set forth in thejsubtreasury plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system; also by payments in discharge of its obligations for public improvements. ratio a. We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present of 16 to 1. b. We demand that tho amount of circulating medium be speedily increased to not less than .$50 capita. c. We demand a graduated income ta.'r. . d. Wo believe the money of the country should bo kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence wo demand that all State and national revenue' shall bo limited to the necessary expenses of the government, economically and honestly administered. c. We demand that postal savings banks bo established by the government for safe deposit of the earnings of tho people and to facilitate exchange. 2. Transportation being a means of change and a public necessity, tho govern¬ ment should own and operate the railroads in tho interest of tho people. а. The telegraph and telephone, like the postoffice system, being a necessity for tho transportation of news should be owned and operated by the government in tho interest of the people. wealth, is the heritage of all 3. The land, including all the national resources of the people, and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien own¬ ership of land should bo prohibited. All land now' held by railroads and other cor. porations in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens, should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. SUPPLEMENT TO THE PLATFORM.—Whereas other questions have been presented for our consideration, we hereby submit the following, not as a part of tho platform of the Peoples’ party, but as resolutions expressive ot the sentiment of this convention: 1. Resolved, That we demand a free ballot and a fair count in all elections and pledge ourselves to secure it to every legal voter without Federal intervention through the adoption by the States of the unperverted Australian or secret ballot system. derived graduated tax should bo 2. Resolved, That the revenue from a income applied to a reduction of the burden of taxation now resting upon the domestic indue, tries of the country. 3. Resolved, That we pledge our support to fair and liberal pensions to ex-Union soldiers and sailors. 4. Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the present system, which opens our ports to the pauper and criminal classes of the world, arid crowds out our wage earners; and we denounce the present ineffeetiwa laws against contract labor, and demand the further restriction of undesirable immi¬ gration. of organized working¬ 5. Resolved, That we cordially sympathize with the efforts men to shorten the hours of labor and demand a rigid enforcement of the existing eight-hour law on government work, and ask that a penalty clause be added to tho said law. б. Resolved, That we regard tho maintenance of a largo standing army of merce¬ naries. known as tho Pinkerton system ms a menace to our liberties, and we demand its abolition; and we c< ndemn the recent invasion of the territory of Wyoming the hiered assassins of plutocracy, assisted by Federal officials. 7. Resolved, That we commend to the favorable consideration of the people and the reform press the legislative system known as the initiative and referendum. 8. Resolved, That we favor a constitutional provision limiting the office of Pres ident and Vice-President to one term, and providing for the election of Senators of the United States bv a direct vote of the people. 9. Resolved, That we oppose any sudsidy or national aid to any private corpora-, tion for any purpose. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE Daily Press, * PUBLISHED IN ATLANTA, GA., BY IIOX. THOMAS E. WATSON. RATES!
