FROM 01 R ( 01 RESPONDENTS.
Roberta, Ga., June 1st, 1892.
Mr. Editor: —I Save never felt that I
desired to make myself conspicuous
through the column^ of a paper, but the
status of political affairs is ctiough to
who unlock has the at heart tongue Iova |of for every his country and
the well being of his fellow man. We
can hear it at evefcy gathering— ‘linrd
times and the peopli wheels are poor and getting
poorer.” The of government are
all out of gear, and we all are going
down to destruction's fast as time can
move us. Did you ever stop to think
how our fathers were left at the close o!
the of them war? in Negroes debt. tjeed Now, aud what a majority is the
condition of the bo* that were from ten
to twenty years of tf&e at that time. My
observation has been that three out of
five have as much U&d as their parents
did, especially those; who have taken care
of what they made.j Style aud custom
caused them to spend siuce that time
more than their fathers lost iu slaves—a
majority of them a* least. I fear that
the cry of hard times is more of habit
thau is really true. The end of 1892
will find the fanners of the state of Geor-
gia in a more solid condition thau they
have been for several years past, and the
improvement of condition will be due to
strict economy in buying. Had you
thought of the lengthy list of articles and
things that the fanners of the South have
piaced upon cotton1 to buy. You can
hardly point your finger at a thing used
by a farmer but what is bought and that,
too, with the money or promise based on
cotton. If the farmers would make and
raise all that they consume and use on
his farm that this God favored couutry
of ours is adapted to, the cry of hard
times and third party politics would be
beard of no more. Tbe Alliance started
out light to school themselves in economy
and advancement in agriculture, to make
couutry life more beautiful and less lone-
ly. How pleasant it war to meat with
tbe brethren; no damnable politics, no
tricksters, no speculators, no merchants,
no lawyers to mislead our minds from
the duties laid out before us. Now have
huth and confide in the leaders; they
are ail from the farm, they will not
mislead you; they are no office-seekers.
What was the first lesson from our visit¬
ing brother from afar? He starts out by
tclhng: . ... I’m , farmer-a tiller .... of ... the soil. ..

All that you farmers need in tins state is

established and still oppression comes.
The next thing was, and that too, by a
new man, “an al ianceman :” The s'
exchange is a good thing, but you can
never expect the help you need if you
don t elect alliancemen to the legislature.

except Tommie Watson. you no
rascals were allowed to join the order.
Now you can see where our dear bretb-
reu begin to show the white of the eye.
Next we will frame a new platform and
call it the people’s party platform, some-
thing that both republican aud
democrat can stand upon, adopt''it
if the democrats don’t
we’ll form a new party. Remember,
we started out non-politic. Politics
would ruin our order. Don’t you see how
our leaders were fooling us? Now they
say, out of politics the alliance is a fail-
ure. Oh, Georgians, are you going to be
deceived longer by those sweet-moutbed
farmers? Men wffio stood with the right
baud , upon the , Testament _ saying . they
would stand in defense of your rights:
keep you out of the slums of politics and
lift, from you the hand of
What was the detent of the force bill by
the Republicans for? lhat the Republi-
cans could use their deceitful influence
upon an organized Democracy who had
8( , J)!tr ated themselves from their fellow-
countrymen who were ineligible to that
oider W hy did tbe organized Repub-
beaus accept a Democratic platform for
the People’s party? Because they knew
tbey cou [ d uot disorganize the solid
South upon another. Oh, ye hypocrites,
you fooled the negro for twenty years
with the promise of forty acres of land
and a mule. I hope that the keen eye of :t
Southern Democrat will be ever watching
and will not be led into a third party for
the republican continuance in power,
Now, my fellow countrymen, relief for
the farmer will be sure and only sure in
a self-sustaining form, aud a democratic
victory. Let the cry be no more that
cotton cannot be raised at 6 cents a
pound. Make your own plowstocks, axe
handles and everything that you can
make at home for self and beast, and you
can raise cotton for what it will sell for.
Don’t be hoodwinked by paid deceived political
speakers any longer. They have
and thev are deceiving you now. Cleve-
land did not do right when president.
Northen does not do right as governor.
Livingston. Mosee. Crisp, Blount,
crats generally, do wrong in the minds
of some people. So did Christ when
upon eartn. Democracy is all right, but
some of the exponents are a little wrong;
think that the third party will only he
mortal as we Democrats are today.

Mr. Editor; —Will you allow me t >
reply to Mr. W. J. Champion, whose
article will be noticed in a back number
of your paper. As he has placed champions him-
se [f on record as one of the
of the People's party, I would like to
ask him a few questions. Mr. contains C. you
sav the People’s party Dlatform
the sam e ulanks that the Democratic
platform did in the days of Thomas
jeffersou. Now, sir, if you will show
me in an v Democratic platform, from the
v 0 f its birth up to the present dav,
ou ". s j n <ri e time in the political history of
our government a platform containing
demands such as you will find in the
Southern Alliance Farmer dated March
i sb >03 : “We demand that the general
government forbid the monopoly of laud
f or speculative purposes. We demand
(hat the general government shall re¬
c | a i m a n i an ds now owned by
aliens. We demand that the gov-
eminent issue legal tender notes
au d pay union soldiers the difference be-
tweeu the depreciated money in which he
was paid and gold. Can you show me
any democratic platform where they de-
manded that the* government build sub-
treasurj r warehouses and issue money to
the people at 2 per cent per annum (or
the something better as has been so re¬
p ea tedly spoken of) on the farm products?
y ou say that both old parties are con-
t ro u e d by the money power of Wall
8tree t. Do you mean that they are
bought or bribed with money? If so
bring up your proof aud then I will with¬
draw my allegiance to the democratic
party. Now, these are nuts I want you
to crack,
