Congressman Moses
WRITES A LETTER SHOWS
UP THE KOTTESHESS OF THE ST.
LOUIS PLATFORM.
He Unmasks the True Inward¬
ness of the St. Louis Conven¬
tion—Alt Southern Democrats
Should Head it.
The Constitution.
Washington, April 1.—Con
gresman Charles M. Moses, of the
fourth Georgia district, has wril
ten the following letter to the
Southern Alliance Farmer.
In it he exposes the St. Louis
third party convention and the
third party itself.
Washington, D. 0., March 30,
1892.—Editor Southern Alliance
Farmer: A great many alliance
men in Georgia have requested
me, as one of the delegates, to
make a report of what was done
at the St. Louis conference. The
other two members of the delega
tion, Messrs. Wilson and Palmer,
also asked me to make a state
ment. Please allow me to com
ply with these requests, through
the colums of their official organ,
Asa faithful representative, it j
is my duty to make a true state 1
ment of the facts, and there my
responsibility ends, and that of I
the people begins.
No one, I trust, will deem it mv I !
dutyin this connection to notice
the brutal attacks that have been
made upon me, maliciously or
through ignorance.
I was elected a delegate to St.
Louis without my knowledge. Be
fore agreeing to accept the ccm
mission, 1 was assured bv the
officials of the state alliance that
the conference xvould have no
authority to formulate a platform, j
or to take any political action,
that would be binding upon the
alliance. The original guarantee
made to every member joining
the order xvas that the alliance
was not a political party, and
would not undertake to control!
any member’s political or religious j
opinions. When the “reform
press” began to assert that the
organization xvould be committed -
to a political party at the confer-j
ence the presidents of the several j
state alliances met as an advisory j
committee in Washington and de-1
med the authority of the confer
ence to take such action. j
When we arrived in St. Lou's
xve tives learned of tho that people's the represents-j party had
been on the ground two days j
working and plotting to capture j
tie conference. Rost, Branch and j
Lllington were there representing; one!
Georgia. It was apparent to
circulating among the delegates j
at the hotels that the third party,!
it had but little opposition except
from the southern alliances; and
the southern delegates did finally
force them to adjourn the con
ference without directly
the people’s party. I listened to
the discussion among the dele
gales at the x arious hotels, iue
thought uppermost in the minds
of these “non-partisans” seemed
to be, how to destroy the demo
cratic party and how to build up
the’so-calleil people’s party. To
dothis, it xvas conceded that the
solid south must be broken.
One enthusiastic delegate ex
pressed it in this xvay: “We
already have an entering wedge
in Georgia; xve will break the
back of the damn democracy
that state, and other states will
follow.” We shall see how this
plot to stifle the voice of Georgia
was carried out.
The conference met at tne ap-|
RO i n ted hour. It xvas composed t

EASTMAN, DODGE COUNTY GEORGIA. FRIDAY, APRIL S, 1892.
our surprise we were told that
there was no contest over our
seats. Notice, however, that we
had not been allowed to partici¬
pate in the election of officers
because of a contest. Messrs.
Post and Kemp, claiming to repre¬
sent congressional districts, asked
to be allowed to fill the two
vacancies caused by the absence
of Messrs. Calvin and Bell, the
accredited delegates. We agreed
in the committee to this arrange
ment, with the understanding that
they should he bound by the
instructions given to the absent
members, to vote “as a unit
They were seated without such
instructions.
As finally determined the re¬
presentation of Georgia was as
follows:
Colored farmers' alliance, rep¬
resented by J. I. Gilmore, 11
votes; citizens’ alliance, repre
seated by Ellington, Branch and
Parker, 3 votes; Georgia farmers’
alliance, represented by Wilson,
Palmer, Moses, ,1'ost and Kemp, j j
5 votes; state at large, President
Livingston, 1 vote. j j
This delegation met and elected
C. C. Post a member of the plat -1
form committee for Georgia. We
entered our protest on the ground j
that the representation was un
fair, and served notice on the
majority of the delegation that j
while we would make no further
fight in the convention, we would
not hold ourselves bound by any , 1
action taken.
While the convention was wait- |
ing for the report of the com
mittee on platform, a motion was j
made and carried that the roll be
called. It was asserted by the
secretary that 150 delegates had
been seated by the committee on i
credentials xvho represented noth
i ne . I called attention to the fact
that one man on the floor claimed
to have 11 votes as representing j
the colored alliance of Georgia,
and that the president of that
alliance xvas there protesting
against his authority to do so.
Poxvderly said that the roll repre-1 ought
to be called and illegal
sentatives thrown out. At this
juncture the committee on plat
form came in and the call of the
roll was postponed. Asa matter |
of tact, the roll xvas never called,;
and there is no official record ol
the membership.
Now, as to the report of the
committee on platform: I was
sitting on the second tier of seats j
in front near the desk.
silence reigned in the hall, and I
heard distinctly every word that
was spoken. The first part, con 1
-
sisting of the preamble or address j
was read by Donnelly, and was i
received xvith the wildest enlhu
siasm. He then announced that
Chairman Cavanaugh would read
the platform. The president re
quested that there be no applause !
before tho entire platform was
read, with. which Chairman request Cavanaugh was complied then |
j
read the platform as folloxvs:

and demanding a reduction in the

swear the tariff is not a tax, and
that the government is not now
receiving any more revenue than
is necessary to meet its expenses,
'['his was the fine hand of the
knights of labor.
(d.) They refused to condemn
the McKinley law and the “force
bill.” This is supposed to be due
to the influence of Taubeneck,
the chairman of their national
executive committee, who is now
calling upon our people to rally
to his standard. Taubeneck is
the “decoy duck” of the Illinois
legislature, who wept because he
failed to elect “Force Bill”
Streeter to the United States
senate over Senator Palmer.
(e.) If the government must
own the railroads, telegraphs and
telephones because they are a
public necessity." then we must
also own all the shipping, all the
public hacks and drays and street
car lines; it the postoffice is a.
pattern, we must put government
carriages and freight wagons on j
all the public highways and post
routes throughout the land. Vr e
must have government doctors,!
lawyers, preachers, churches and
colleges, for they are a “public
necesity. When we have taken
charge of the land, and all the
natural sources of wealth, as the
heritage of all the people, and]
made them as free as the air and
sunshine, then, as there xvill be no |
incentive to individual exertion,
and as everybody who “eats must]
work ” we must have government
in every shop and baili-:
wick to see that every man works, i
1 hen, for fear that some man will
more than he sweats, xve must;
the public table as they did in
Sparta, and give every
his rations, We must have
mills, factories and
that goods may be “issued
cost” to the people. Then
Utopia has come! Then Bellamy
is no longer “looking backward!”
But you have destroyed the
citizen. It may appear
to the honest and unsuspecting
farmers that I am jesting, but I
assure them that the socialist
at St. Louis sees all this
and more in the glorious decla-j i
ration.
Now as to the different reports
to what the platform is. The
platform was read and adopted as
above. I copied it from
Knights of Labor Journal, of j
March 3, published every ten days
the meeting. The seere- •
of the knights of labor,
was the secretary of the
It xvas so pub

papers in the country. I : ave a

Simpson has said repeatedly ^ here,
‘hat not only is it a part of the
p5at/orra ’ but that il has been in

National Economist, in the issue
of March 12 th. admits that “the
division (of the platform) into
three planks has been done since
the adjournment of the conven
tion, ’ and that ho did it at the
sugges(ion of Marion Butler, of
North Carolina. The truth ot the

who tried to get the negroes
the south to strike last fall for $1
a hundred for picking cotton, I
have seen a letter written by him
to a colored man in Georgia on
that subject, in which he said:
“Thank God, southern white men
can no longer take shot guns and
drive colored people into their
fields to work for half wages.”
He placed e’even of his votes in
Georgia. In whose hands did he
place them? Richardson, the
president of the Georgia colored
alliance was there; but he would
not let Richardson have them,
because he would not declare for
the third party. According lo
Richardson, he initiated a white
man by the name of Gilmore,
contrary to the law, and gave him
the votes. Gilmore, I understand,
is another political preacher, who
is a foreigner of no fixed abode
and who had been turned out of
his church. This man controlled

Gilmoie might not be able to

national citizens alliance came to

were placed in Geoigia in the
hands of Ellington, Branch and j
f arker, and one ot them put on
the credential committee to see j
that Post and Kemp were seated,
Is there any citizens’ alliance in
Georgia? Why should three votes
be given Georgia when other
states had none? ihe citizens
alliance of Geoigia, wIndexei that ,
be, had as many delegates as the j
farmers’ alliance. The “backbone
of Georgia,” you see, had to be
broken. |
It is but fair to .he president cf

schemes and went home to tell
his people that lie was deemed
unworthy to represent them, j
Richardson says they told him at,
St. Louis that he and his people
must follow Dost because Dost
was from the north, and xvas their
best friend.
j gave the list of organizations
said to be represented. Fowderly
said some of them existed only on
paper. Others had authorized no
one ( 0 represent them. For
stance, the secretary of patrons! 1
0 f husbandry, or grange, says
they had sent no delegates to the i
conference, and everybody knew
that Humphreys had no right to
97 vo tes.
j have now given a true state
inen t of facts. I have tried to do
s0 in a non .partisan manner. This
ig ( ], e first time I have asked the

They rely for success upon the

city was besieged by the allied

after ten years, of capturing the
city, the Greeks built a huge
wooden horse, filled it with armed
men, and pretended to retire from
the city. Sinon, a Greek, ap
peared within the walls, lie told
the Trojans that although he had
been a Greek, he had come to cast
his fortunes in Troy. He told
them also that the horse was the
gift ol the gods, and persuaded
them to pull down the walls and
bring it into the lieait, of the citv.
That night Troy was destroyed.
The proud old city that for ten
years had withstood the poxler of
Greece with her thousand ships,
was destroyed by the lying lips of j

I liax*e been very busy lately,
and it has been some time since 1
have written.
As the rain lias driven me from
the field, I will take lip tlie time
in writing you.
None of our farmers had any
corn up to be killed by tho recent
cold snap.
We had occasion to attend court
several days during this session,
and seeing so many criminals be¬
ing tried, and hearing of so much
crime being committed in some
sections of the county, it reminded
me that there xvas not any of the
criminals on trial trorn our sec¬
tion of the county—nor has there
been a crime of any nature com
mitteil within a radius of ten
miles of our place during the past
ten years, Not even a barroom
or a tiger has ever been located in
our section. Truly we feel that
xve are a blessed people.

idea. Suppose your correspond¬
ents offer some suggestions to the
laboring classes in each of their
communications. I will start the
ball in motion by asking them to
practice economy in all their

corn cribs and smoke houses from
the west. When this is done the
farm life will he a pleasant one,
and not till then will it be so.

PROHIBITION OF FUTURES#
Representative Hatch Reports a
Substitute for the Washburn
Bill.
Washington, April 3.—Repre¬
sentative Hatch, from the commit¬
tee on agriculture, to-day reported
a bill as a substitute for the com
mittee defining futures and options
and imposing special taxes on
dealers therein.
r J lie bill itself is voluminous
a
document comprising fifteen sec-
1 tions. Its provisions may be
briefly stated as follows; The
word “options’ is to he understood
to mean any contract under which
a party acquires tne privilege, but
is not thereby obligated, to deliver
a future time or with a designated
period raw unmanufactured cot¬
ton, hops, wheat, corn, oats, rice,
barley, grass seed, flax seed, pork,
lard bacon and other edible prod
nets of swine.
r J he xvord “futures” is under¬
stood to mean a contract whereby
a party agrees to sell or deliver
at a future time, or within a des¬
ignated period, any of the above
named articles when he is not the
owner of the articles or has not
icquired by perchase the right ‘o
their future posession, provided
that this is not to apply to govern¬
ment. state or municipal contracts
mr (lie contract made by a fanner
for future delivery of articles be
longing to him, or incourse of
growth on his lands. The differ
ence between this bill and the
Washburn hill, already described
up to this point is to be found in
inclusion in the present bill of
cotton and hops among the articles
which may not be dealt in through
