You blind party worahippers, who are mere slaves t< party of your fathers, cannot see rock* ahead of you. You are looking backward all the time at the daogei that are passed while we are looking ahead, we see the rocks just before us, ujton which Rome, the proud mighty ruler of the whole world, made shipwreck; the same rock that ruined intellectual Greece, that blotted ou tronomical Egypt, that destroyed changable Babylon and that lei the walls of the holy Jewish temple, is just ahead of us. We sec it and hav raised a cry of warning. We have plead ed and begged you old party idolaters to look ahead and see it as we see it, hut you only l»»w down once more before your hideous idol, your Baal of corrup tion and fraud, ami cry “We cannot help the rocks ahead of us, hut oh Ia>rd, give us taritf reform 1 ” And on we go, nearer ami nearer to the rocks each day. have lost all patience with such a set of fanatics and blind party worshijiers, and hare concluded Jo take the helm, i own hands, and while you rant and pray t«» your party idol we will guide the ship of state safely around the rocks of disas ter. — Now here is just what we mean: The accumulation of wealth into the hands of the lew is the rock that has caused shipwreck of every nation in the worlu’i past history. We have reached that place on the ocean of our national exist ence where all those other great have gone down, and we want to avoid the same disaster. Just the other d; young gentleman of intelligence and ed ucation said to me, that, to avoid these dangers was ’impossible and impracti cable, and then lie commenced to pray little tariff prayer to his old party idol. I rcaly felt soiry for him, for just such blindness will as surely cause (ruction as that the rocks are ahead of us. What if we have the grandest uation under the sun, what if our ship state is superior to any one that is, ever has been, is it not plain to cvi one that the rocks that have proven dis astrous to all other nations will wreck too if we run on them? It is practical, it is possible to go around them, and lie who says it is not is either very ignor ant or else there is something else the matter with him. How many times do the old party idolaters have to he told that tariff re form is only a partial relief? Would low tariff or even no tariff at all break the grasp of monopolies on the throat of our indwtrie*? If so then why is free trade England literally plastered all over with trusts? Would tariff reform solve the railroad question? crstic daily papers and also the associa ted press dispatches told the people that Rev. J. L. Gilmore of Georgia cast elev en rotes for the colored Alliance of this State, and that the colored people were mad about it; that the convention was controlled by eleven black votes in one white slrin, and that Gilmore was an Englishman recently from the old country, and further more, that he was a deserter from the English army. Not only the avowed enemies of the labor movement published Ihe above bundle falsehoods, but the Atlanta Constitu tion, that claims to be the farmers friend, gave it wide circulation, and if we mis take not, commented on it editorial}-. Now here are the facts in the case: Rev. L. Gilmore is an English sailor who came to this country thirteen years ago. He is a Baptist minister and a school teacher. He was elected at the last State convention of the Georgia Alliance lecturer for the First Congressional Dis trict, we believe without any opposition. time be has been State organ iter of the colored Alliance, and was on< of the duly appointed delegates of that organization to the St. Louis convention, ami cast, not eleven votes, but only and that vote would not have changed the result of one single action of the conference if it had been cast at Living ston’s dictation. The whole report of the proceedings of the labor conference, the old party papers, was not much nearer the truth than the sample just J that is about as i truth as they can get ten falshooda to truth. Farmers and laboring people generally can tell the truth at least half of the time, but when it comes lies and only one truth it gets ahead of badly that we ought note to l>e blamed for wanting to get int< vn. We are not Democrats if going to he obliged to tell ten lies to one little bit of a truth. w they are making a great the labor convention proposes to solve the negro question and take it out f politics. They say we are going t establish social equality of the race that is another sample.of old party v< racily. Have we not been puzzled for know what to do with the race problem? And now when the people’s party offers the only practical solution of the perplexing question they are, iu- stead Of receiving the support of the so- called party of the people,” met with misrepresentation and abuse, it is very :lear to any one of ordinary intelligence that as long as the colored vote is con centrated in any single party that it is a dangerous clement in our politics, hut divide it into two or more parties and it ceases to be of any danger whatever and problem will be solved natur ally and effectually. The negro will not be a bone of contention any longer and that is just the thing the old parties do not want to sec. They do not want to solve the negro question any more than they want to solve the tariff question. They want to save the negro question to get up force bills over. That gives the plutocratic press some thing to thunder about. In the South they can yell them selves hoarse over it, and in the North ditto. They never intended to pass any force bill, aud if they had it could not* and would not have been enforced, It has made lots of political thunder, but it is played out. We are going to ro- member the little story of “Eleven black es in one white skin” when we read old party paper. A Y ALU ABLE PRESENT.

In the vote on the adoption of the platform in cluding independent political action, only two votes were cast in the negative; those two came front Livingston and Wilson who immediately left the hall and came straight to Georgia, to tell their fellow party idolaters that “there would be no third party in Georgia; that the fanners in this State were all Demo crat*.” They had evidently forgotten all about that thirty foot string of resolu tions, (displayed by Bru. Branch), that had recently been pawed by the fann ers of Georgia, in favor of independent political action. Perhaps they will think about it next November. The correspondent* for the Demo- Another thing that is worrying the old party very much and out of which they are trying to make campaign thun der, is the pension plank in the labor platform. Why don’t they tell us some thing about how many Democrats voted to pay the rich bond holders in coin, the very bonds that only cost them about fifty-six cents on the dollar? There ought to he some way to make the gree dy corporations disgorge some of their ill-gotten gains and if we had a good graduated income tax large enough to make the arristocratic classes pay their share of the government’s expenses would not mind doing justice to the sol diers. Of course we cannot stand any more taxation as long as the laboring people have to pay eighty per ce all the taxes, but just make the thirty- one thousand millionaires pay their por tion and we doubt if the soldier boys would need any further assistance; if they did we could give it to them and never miss it. So you see, brother Alli- ancexnen, that even that plank is such a calamity as the subsidized party is trying to make it appear. HH Laboring men suppose you compare millionaire Brice, chairman of the Dem ocratic national committee, with E. H. Tubenech clmirnum of the people’s party national committee. The two me; representative men of their respective parties. The one is one of the richest monopolists in the country and the other is a practical Illinois farmer, noted far aud near for his scrupulous honesty. These nun w ill he the real leaders of the two parties in the coming campaign. Which one is it to our best interests to follow, millionaire Brice or farmer Tu benech? — If we cannot support Cleveland, the nobloat Democrat of them all, how can we support Hill, the trickieat and shrewdest politician in the United States?
