that would not cross swords with
him. This was a third party meet¬
ing and their leaders refused several
days before this meeting to divide
time. Therefore we had no Demo-
cratic speakers, except our local one
who answered Col. Peek.
We were disappointed in Col.
Peek as he only told us we were
poor and had no money to dress
our wives and daughters, and that
we needed money never suggesting
how we were to get it. He did not
propose any plan at all or suggest
any chanel by which we might be
able to procure this money to clothe
our wives and daughters. He told
a few stale anecdotes that amused
the third partyites. He made no
attack on the old enemy ot . the
white people of the South [republi-
cans.] but lay all the blame at the
door of Democratic party. If Col.
Peek had read to the people the
Ocala platform and the Democratic
platform adopted in Atlanta May

express their choice as between the

^fferenMbl Jena democrat and a
rt ,p ub j lcan- democracy
Tiure is a vast difference in
and republicanism, but there is no differ-
ence whea they get in congress.
Our Culloden Galoot says the P. P. is
the most damnable party in the country,

The P. P. wants a
people not to be controlled by Wall
Street.
Our great government is to-tiay con¬
trolled by England. Indirectly, England
has long since learned that the sword is
the weapon of a fool and money the
weapon of the wise.
Where is the gold that we had in cir¬
culation a few years ago? Jack, do you
know? Don’t think you do. I can tell
you. From February, 1891, untd the
close of Jul}’, ’91, there was $70,2815,494
exported from V all street, New York, to
Lombard street, London. Now, Jack,
you seem to know all about democracy,
be candid. Did you have any idea that
there ever was that much gold in the
United States at one time? The above
figures are true. I did not go to a P. P.
paper to get them; I got it from the an¬
nual report of the director of the mint,
Do you wouder that there is not money
enough to move the present crop? The
whole thing is run and controlled by a
few meo in Wall street, and are bossed
by these Lombard street (London) bosses;
consequently we are completely in the
hands of England, and Jack don’t know
it, or he would come out on the Lord’s
side. Jack, you are a democrat because
your daddy was; you have never in your
life inquired of any one what democracy
was.
The old moss hicks are all controlled
by Wall street, and it is time, (Jack) you
and I were up and doing something for
our country. Let’s go for principle and
help our people to burst this Wall street
fiction. Jack, I would like to sec you
and have a good, old fashion, corn field
chat with you; 1 think you would be a
converted man, by the time 1 was through
with you. Jackie, w T e have not money
enough in circulation, for I am as nick
less as a convict myself; w’e only have
about $4.50 per capita in circulation in
the United States and $48.11 per capita
in France.
Jackie, if we P. P. men will coine to
the front and put the right kind of men
in office you will see a considerable
change; there will be less of this moving
to town you spoke of in your letter.
If we would all be interested in farm-
ing, under the present state of affaus,
there would be but a penny’s difference
in the man that farms and the man that
moves to town. We have no market
for our produce is the reason there
are so many leaving the farms. They can
make more by renting their laud than
they can by running a farm. "Jackie,
don’t you think you had better join that
damnable party and go with us? If we
make a success you will be saying,
“Aren’t we brave men, Nancy,” like the
old man was after he came down out of
the loft—Nancy had killed the bear.
Success is a sure thing, for we have all
of the good Democrats in our party, and
all the best Republicans. It is only a
few old moss backs that we have not got;
they simply want to bear the name
“Democrat” because their daddy did.
When you cheer Grover Cleveland you
are cheering Wall street, for he is a Wall
street man, and cares no more for the
laboring man than he does for a hog.
Now, Jackie, you had better stop where
you are, and take back all you have said
about that damnable party. I think it
an honor to any man to want to come
out of the clutches of Wall street.
So, if you want to be a man,
join the People’s party, show the
people that you love your country. Jackie
do you farm? If you do you are in
your own light. You should belong to
the P. P. The farmers and laboring
classes are asking for nothing but their
rights. We have been crushed in the
dust every since the late war. The spec¬
ulator sets his price on our produce and
takes it at his own price, and he prices
his goods and we have to pay him his
price. We pay an average of ubout 68
per cent, on all the credit we get. The
merchant and speculator can borrow all
the money they want at from 2 to 3 per
cent., or that is the price of money in j
N. Y. this week, and on short time from |
U to 2 per cent, per annum. Jackie, you

you had better go to farming first, so you j
