GEORGIA, JANUARY 1895.
Watson’s Gossip.
Private ownership of the street rail¬
ways in the city of Brooklyn has loaded
1**» miles of road with $50,000,000 of
bonds and watered stock.
To get an income from this tremdous
amount of fictitious investment, unrea
son able charges are made against paid the
public, and starvation wages are
, laborers. ,
* result is a great strike, . a block- . , ,
ade of travel, a paralysis of business, a
eel Psion between capital and labor,
and a resort to the bayonet, and pow
der and lead.
Riots have already-occurred and much
blood shad.
' 1 ol,r people had the gumption ... to
take the public highways out of the
ownership and control of the private
corporations, tiie dust of the streets
would not be so often laid with human
blood,

Congress gave to the Pacific railroads
enough land to make two states as
large as Georgia, with Rhode Island
and Delaware thrown in for good mea¬
sure ; it also endorsed the bonds of the
company to the extent of sixty odd
million dollars. Upon these bonds the
government of the United States has
paid interest to tiie extent of nearly
seventy millions of dollars.
Besides doing all this congress was
bribed into taking a second mortgage
on the property, instead of a first mort¬
gage. Such patriots Jay Gould, Russell
as
Sage, C, P, Standford Hunting,let,, Sidney Charle Dillon, and
Letanil and
Crocker got the first mortgage.
Thus our government furnishes the
mousy to build tiie railroads, gave the
right of way, and threw in over one
hundred million acres of land, and then
allowed the speculators to blanket the
whole with a first mortgage, which of
course puts the government where it
lias only a secondary claim on its own
land, and upon the road built with its
money.
This is glorious statesmanship. To
make it look altogether lovely, the
Goulds and Sages are now view foreclosing
their mortgage with the of cut¬
ting the Government off from ever get¬
ting a cent of the money of the second
mortgage. this road
The Government built with
your land and your taxes. Wall Street
did not contribute a dollar.
Now, however, you are to he made
happy by seeing Wall Street scoop the
land and the railroad, and -leave you
nothing except the consciousness that
your old-party leaders have sold you
out again.

All the Georgia members of Congress,
except Mr. Tate, voted for the hill

your money to buy four more battle
ships and twelve for? more torpedo Carnegie boats.

Our navy has been trebled in tho last

“Read your Pibles, go to church, say
your prayers, do good to those that
hate you—” says the individual citizen.
“Huy more guns, exhaust the pockets
of the tax payer, treat the citizen as if
he were a deadly enemy”-—says the
Government.

Or rather, it lias got hold of us.

Thc Cause and the Remedy.
In 1770, according lo history, the issue
was monarchy or democracy. In 18(>0
the issue was freedom or slavery. To¬
day the issue i:; monopoly or equal
rights. Monopoly of money, land,
transportation, mines, timber, water,
everything in nature tut air, andevery
thing produced from nature.
Writhing under the present condi¬
tions of destitution, caused by this
hydra-headed monster monopoly —
men advance many causes for existing
evils and as many remedies for the
same. Py this multiplicity of causes
and remedies, thus presented, the suf¬
fering masses are confused and there¬

unbroken line of battle. I ntil they can

many. It is not necessary, here, to

causes sj, they arc confused
by so many remedies advanced. As

Labor and Money.
Labor produces all.
Surplus capital is accumulated labor

Money is redeemable in labor.
If labor refused to exchange its toil
for what we call money, money would
be worthless.
Labor pays for everythin# taxes,

A Miserable Subterfuge.
In a recent Democratic journal ap¬
peared the following:
“Some years ago an a remarkable
oasis in the high tariff wilderness,
hides were placed on the free list. The
leaf her beneficial Industry lots ever since shown
the effects of free raw ma¬
terial. The year 18U5, thanks to a
Democratic tariff, begins with the
same benefits to the woolen Industry,
and the effect will he the same.”
The blind and the idiotic will swal¬
low lids silly rot with a relish, but the
fanner who shins his beef and markets
the hide for thirty cents, then pay
three dollars for a split-leather shoe
will fail to see where the “oasis” comes
in, aavr as a bonanza to tho manufac¬
turer who has the protective tariff be¬
hind him, while the producer goes on
down to bankruptcy. “Thanks to a
Democratic tariff,” the effect with
“wool” will bo tho Name, but then I
guess tho leather heads will say it's an
over production of hides and wool.
While thousands order are crying for bread,
the farmer, in to get money to
pay an exhorbitant tax to save his lit
th* home from tho sheriff's hummer,
can realize but '15 cents per bushel for
his corn. Why don’t they say that this
low price is caused by over-proRuc
tion ? They ought to keep the people
