WHICH DO YOU STAND FOR, NOW
THAT YOU ARE ON TRIAL!
What Right Have Yon to Snpport a Party
Which Opposes the Principles You In
dorse—Yon Are Xot an Honest Reformer
If Yon ho Xot Vote as You Think and Talk
Looking over the situation now and
hearing the party bosses crying, “Don’t
desert the party; stay inside the party
lines,” brings very forcibly to my mind
this question: “Which shall we stand
for, success of principles or success of
party?'
The two old parties have met in their
national conventions, and have put forth
their declaration of principles and nomi
nated candidates.
What are their principles and who are
their candidates? Never before have
the two old parties bowed so low at the
feet of the money and corporation kings.
Never before were their platforms more
identical. So near are they alike in
principle of the leading issues that only
a partisan politician can tell the differ
ence.
We see them both bowing at the feet
of Mammon, its willing tools, ever ready
to do its bidding. But we can see afar
off from them a gallant band,'their ban
ners floating to the breeze, and on them
we can read these, words; “Rights to
every one; special privileges to none.”
Their platform contains declarations of
principles of justice and equity—prin
ciples we have put forth from our coun
cils; principles that would build up and
foster all legitimate industries; that
would rob money of the power to op
press; that would build up agriculture
and elevate labor: that would break up
trusts and combines that are robbing in
dustry of the fruits of her labor. We
have put forth those principles. They
have stood the test of the most rigid dis
cussions of friends and foes. They hnvo
stood the most relentless abuses and
criticisms of the party politicians and
the partisan press. They have been in
dorsed from sea to sen and from the
great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico; in
dorsed in sub, county, state and national
Alliances; indorsed in precinct, county
and state conventions, and yet both
Republicans and Democrats havo spurn
ed them.
We have piessed our principles in the
halls of congress, and have been denied
them there.
We have passed resolutions time after
time that wo would support no one for
public office who would not advocate
these principles. We have published
these resolutions to the world. And
now are we going to desert these prin
ciples, and show by onr actions that we
were just trying to scare somebody and
that these resolutions were nothing but
wind? Are we going to cringe at the
crack of the party lash and vote for onr
enemies, and vote ourselves into eternal
serfdom? Or will we stand for our
principles and vote for liberty and jus
tice? The die is cast. The fight is on,
and he that is not with you is against
you. If you have faith in our principles
show your faith by your works (votes).
The man wb will talk reform and vote
for its enemies is either a hypocrite, a
traitor or a fool.
But then you know “onr party,” our
much loved and honored party. If we
vote for these principles, we will defeat
the grand old party.
Now, in all fairness, if a party don’t
represent the principles that we believe
are founded on justice, of what use is
that party to us?
But we are told that if we leave our
party the other party—that horrible
wolfish party—will capture the country,
and we will lie at their mercy. So keep
on in our noble party and keep out the
wolf that will devour our industries, and
just give us a chance and all will be
well. So plow on, boys, and rest assured
we are your friends. Yes. vote out the
wolf aud vote iu the lion. Which is the
worst? True, the lion can make the
most noise, but both alike are beasts of
prey.
Which shall we vote for —the wolf,
the lion or for equal rights to all?
Choose you this day whom you will
serve —justice and equity or Mammon.
Will you stand upfor rights of the down
trodden aud oppressed people?
If you proclaim to the world where
you stand, if you are on the side of the
money power and conscientiously be
lieve you are right, you have a perfect
right to bo there. But you have no
right to vote for principles not con
sistent with your belief. Neither has
any man a right to claim to be a re
former and cast his vote for a party who
opposes reform.
If your love for party is above your
love of liberty and justice, then, by the
eternal, vote for your party, and vote
yourself into a life of servitude, com
pared to which the days of the chattel
slave would be a paradise. This is the
decisive conflict. We must proclaim to
the world as did our Revolutionary fore
fathers of old. that we are a free and
independent people, or else we must
bow in meek submission and accept the
state we are so rapidly approaching—a
class of serfs and money kings.
Which shall it be? —B. H. T. in Cot

Texas Democrats.
The democratic convention at
Houston, Texas, a few weeks ago re
sulted in a split between the Clark
and Hogg men, and two state tickets
were nominated after a most disgrace
ful and uproarious proceedings. Both
factions showed their fealty to the
national democratic party iu the
patronage of the saloons and bawdy
houses. All saloons put on extra
men, while at the ba\Vdy*houses the
delegates awaited their turns. There
was one saloon in the convention
building, and two right across the
street frefm ft, both erected far the
occasion, while within a stone’s throw
was a large bawdy house, and all were
crowded to the utmost. Both fac
tions were equally guilty.
Although Hogg is usually regarded
by prohibitionists as better than
Clark, no man was more bitter in his
denunciation of prohibition in the
amendment fight of 1887 than was
Hogg, who was then attorney-general
of Texas, and who left the duties of
his office to take the stump against
prohibition. In a speech at Tyler
he referred to women in such a way
as to disgust all pure men, many of
whom immediately left the hall whore
he was speaking. No newspaper in
Texas would report that, speech; it
was 100 low and dirty.-.-The Voice.
Ownership of h Letter.
Under the postal regulations of the
United States and the rulings of the
highest courts a letter dot's not be
long to tho person to whom it is sent
until it is delivered to him.
Tho writer has a right to reclaim
and regain possession fir it, provided
he can prove .to the satisfaction of
the postmaster at the office from
which it was sent, that he was the
writer of it.
Even after the letter has arrived
at the office which is its destination,
and before it has been delivered to
the person to whom it is addressed,
it may be recalled by the writer by
telegraph through the mailing office,
Hie regulations of the postoffice
department of course require that
the utmost care shall be taken by
the postmaster at the office of mail
ing to ascertain that the person who
desires to withdraw tho letter is
really the one who is entitled to do
so, and the postmaster is responsible
for his error if he delivers the letter
to an imposter or an unauthorized
person.
The vital principle in our political
system lies at the bottom of this
matter. In this country tho state is
tho servant or agent of tho citizen—
not his master. It remains merely
his agent throughout the transmis
sion of a letter. The state may pre
scribe regulations under which its
own servants may carry a message
for the citizen, but it cannot shirk
its responsibility to him.—Youth’s
Companion.
Abandoned Farnin a Kleasing.
So far as has come under our
notice, the well known general aban
donment of hill farms in New Eng
land is almost universally bewailed.
Though a sentiment of slight melan
choly must usually attach to an
abandoned homestead, we take a
brighter view of the conditions, since
these are to the advantage of the
country at large. Abandoned hill
farms especially will he allowed to
grow up forests, and these afford
their chiefest advantage to climate
when they exist in elevated situa
tions.
In such positions they not only
serve to prevent evaporation of the
moisture stored in the soil from rain
falls, but are more influential as rain
producers than in equal extent on
low lands. In such elevated position
they are generally regarded as pre
ventives of lightning, as they serve
to quietly equalize the electrical con
ditions of the atmosphere and earth,
especially in the season of thunder
storms.
The abandonment of these hill
farms is the states' ;ity, since
they may be purchased at a low
figure, rescued from the greed of the
dealer in cord wood and preserved
forever to please the eye and to im
prove the climate of the country
about.—Practical Electricity.
No Excess in Loving.
There is a joy in loving, and in
this joy there can never be an excess,
where the love is a love to which we
have any right. Overloving, in any
proper sphere of love, is an impossi
bility. No parent ever loved a child
too dearly, nor any child a parent,
nor any brother or sister or brother,
nor any wife or husband a husband or
wife, nor any friend a friend. The
standard of loving set before us is
that of the Lord himself for those
whom he loves. We are to love one
another as he loved us. Who will
claim that his love for a dear one,
HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA: SEPTEMBER 13, 1892.
whom he has any right to love, is
stronger or deeper than Christ’s love ?
Until he has reached that standard,
his love is short in its measure, in
stead of over.—Sunday School Times.
The Welsh Tongue.
The author of “Yorkshire Folk
Talk” tells an amusing story of an
English bishop’s struggles to master
the Welsh tongue. He had been ap
pointed to the Welsh see of St. Da
vid, and on taking up his abode in
Wales engaged, a native Welsh schol
ar to give him instruction in the lan
guage. The pronunciation, and es
pecially the 11, bothered the bishop,
and the Welshman was almost at his
wit’s end to explain the lingual proc
ess by which the formidable sound
was to bo uttered.
At last a bright thought struck
him, and beiug very obsequious
in manner he thus addressed the
bishop: “Your lordship must please
put your episcopal tongue to the
roof of your apostolic mouth and
then hiss like a goose.”

Tennyson's First Money.
Lord Tennyson, the poet laureate,
is one of twelve children of a poor
country clergyman, the Rev. George
Clayton Tennyson, rector of Somers
by, Lincolnshire. He began writing
verses at a' very early age. When
his grandmother died, his grandfa
ther asked him to write a poem on
the sad event, and when the boy had
read it to him he presented Rim
with a shilling, remarking:
“There, that’s the first money you
have earned by writing poetry, and
take my word for it it’s the last.”
This was an unfortunate predic
tion, for he has earned moro money
by his poems than any other person
in the history of the whole world.—
London Tit-Bits.
Chicknifi<GHt Grasshoppers.
Common barnyard fowls are very
efficient destroyers of grasshoppers.
In one case referred to by a special
agent of the department of agricul
ture an almond orchard containing
360 acres was attacked by migrating
swarms. The house and bam were
situated in the middle of tho orchard,
and the chickens browsed around
them over an area of six or eight
acres, which by August looked Iff -
a green oasis in the desert, the trees
everywhere else having been stripped
of their leaves by tlie voracious in
sects.—Washington Star.
Great Discoveries*.
All great discoveries come in sim
ple form and are ushered in without
music or loud rejoicing. The great
est inventions come with the least
outward show and noise. The sci
entist generally makes his experi
ment when wearied and discouraged,
and when he is about ready to
abandon the study.—New York Tel
egram.
Unite Thin Year.
“Keeping the people divided over a
phantom.” That has been the aim of
both parties these many years, and in
their success has been the people’s un
doing. Divided and conquered. Wliat
they have succeeded in doing all these
years they will move heaven and earth
to do once again, and in this campaign.
Let us dedicate ourselves to thwart
ing them. Let us for once be as wise
as our enemies, as farseeing, as reso
lute, as devoted to the maintenance of
our rights as they are to their destruc
tion. Let the people unite, and let them
refuse to be divided upon any issue by
their enemies, and this year of grace
will witness the salvation of our repub
lic, its restoration to the principles on
which it was founded.—Mrs. A. P.
Stevens in Vanguard.
Strong, but Near tho Truth.
Our daily papers continue to ruako the
most malicious and false reports con
cerning tho reform movement. It is
unworthy of such papers to so deceive
their own friends, Such sheets are un
worthy of public patronage from any
class of people who are seeking tlie
tmth. It should be the desire of every
one to obtain the facts, but you cannot
get them from our “newspapers.” There
i3 but one way to bring these lying
rheets to their senses, and that is to drop
them until they can publish the truth
If our people will do this you will soon
see their tone change.—Southern Alli
ance Farmer.
A Great Campaign.
The campaign of 1892 will be a his
torical one. It will be recorded as a cam
paign in which the liberties of a nation
were involved. In this gigantic struggle
in which so much is as stake tho fellow
who fools away his time “knifing his
brethren” or “paying np old scores”
will stand about as high in the estima
tion of the people as Benedict Arnold.—

THE SITUATION
Fact* and Conclusions Concerning tin
Selection of the Next President.
It requires 223 electoral vote3 for
either of the old party nominees to win
in November. Failing these, Mr. Har
rison steps into well merited oblivion,
for in tho house he has not the shadow
of a chance. It is practically conceded
that he cannot deliver for himself these
223 votes. Neither can Mr. Cleveland.
In which case the contest goes to con
gress under conditions unrivaled for in
ter-. st and result in the history of this
country, because the money power and
the people would be faco to faces—with
i the former at bay. The constitution
1 provides:
tf do such person have euch majority, then
from the persons having the highest numbers,
not exsoediug three, on tho list of tho. o vote,!
I for as president the house of representative#
Blind choose immediately by ballot the pro i
dt-nt. Hut In choosing the president the votes
shall be taken by states, tho representation
from each state having one vote: a quorum for
this purposo shall consist of a member or
members of two-thirds of tho states and a ma
jority of all these states shall be necessary to a
choice. And if the house of representatives
shad not choose a president, whenever tho
right ttf choice shall devolve upon them, before
the Ith day of March next following, then the
vies president shall act ns president, os in the
CMS of the death or other constitutional disa
bility of the president. The person having tho
greatest number of votes ns vice president
sl.all be vice president, if such number be a
majority of the wholo number of electors np
poiutcil, anil ff no person have a majority,
then from the two highest numbers on tho list
the senate shall choose the vice president; a
quorum for the purpose shall consist of two
thh ds of tho wholo number of senators, and a
majority of the whole number shall be neces
sary to a choice.
As there are forty-four states it will
require twenty-three votes to elect a
president, and ha must be one of tho
three having the highest number of votes
in the electoral college. In Iho Fifty
second house the Democrats control Ala
bama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, lowa,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis
sippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hamp
shire, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Ithode Island, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
West Virginia and Wisconsin—Bo. The
Republicans control California, Colo
rado, Idaho, Maine, Nevada, North Da
kota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Da
kota, Vermont, Washington and Wyo
ming—12. The People’s party control
Kansas and Nebraska—2. Should the
P publicans and the People's party com
bine to prevent a quorum, it would re
quire every vote of the thirty Democratic
states to be present to make a quorum,
ami should a quorum be present it would
require twenty-three Democratic states
to elect Cleveland.
With the south and west in revolt
against las record and platform, and
warning echoes of the battle waged ring
ing in their ears, will lie get these votes?
Will their representatives commit (at the
bidding of party dictators) personal po
litical suicide for the elevation of a
proven ingrate? These are questions for
the future to answer. Should the elec
tion be blocked in the house the secre
tary of state, under provisions of the
law, is acting president; but said secre
tary’s term of office expires March 4,
1893, as does that of the remainder of
the cabinet, and the spectacle presented
is that of an irresistible force encounter
ing an immovable body, and chaos come
again. This contingency is remote, yet
existent.
Tho senate would choose from the two
highest for vice president in the electoral
college. It requires the presence of
sixty senators to act, so that either the
Republican or Democratic party could
prevent a quorum if they should choose
to do so. Should the senate proceed to
vote it would require forty-live votes to
elect. There are at present forty-seven
Republican senators, but it would not
be possible to get them all to vote for
White-law Reid as the gold bug candi
date of the Republican party. Neither
could forty-five votes bo secured for Mr.
Stevenson on tho Wall street Democratic
platform.
Should three silver senators refuse to
indorse Reid he could not be elected.
Stevenson has no show in the upper
house (it being Republican, a.3 shown)
nor Harrison in the lower.—National
Economist.
Colorado All One Way.
If tho Democratic and Republican
state conventions, to bo held this year in
Colorado, shall bo representative bodies
and fairly reflect tho sentiments of their
respective constituencies, they will re
pudiate both Cleveland and Harrison
and adopt tho People’s party electoral
ticket. The proof of this is found in the
attitude sustained by the state conven
tions, held a few weeks ago to choose
delegates for Chicago and Minneapolis.
A test of the Republican convention
called for that purpose showed only one
voto in favor of Indorsing Harrison, and
Cleveland would have fared no better
in the Democratic convention had any
member possessed the nerve to propose a
commendatory vote. —Rocky Mountain

Tlie “Dollar” Liars Load.
The banker who is loudest in his de
nunciation of the "seventy-eight cent’
silver dollar will accept the same dollar
on deposit at 100 cents. And should a
customer, having in his possession a
certificate of deposit obtained from him
for silver dollars, request that it be
cashed in either greenbacks, national
bank notes or gold, his request would be
granted readily, because depositors are
the kind of customers that bankers like
to please, and because the deposited
silver was worth as much ns either of
the other kinds of money. Bankers are
not iu the habit of making, even their
best customers, a present of twenty-two
cents on each silver dollar deposited
with them. Take it all in all, even the
tariff is not so picturesquely and ear
nestly, not to say religiously, lied about
as the “dollar of our daddies” is.—Na
tional Economist.
Wearer’* Calamity Howl.
Tho first man in this nation io lift np
his voice against deroouetk.a ion of sil
ver was “Calamity” Weaver. There is
where he won his title. The Democratic
and Republican tools of the gold party
dubbed him “calamity" because he pre
dicted the calamity that r.ow hangs over
the industrial classes of this nation.
Any ono who told tlio truth then as
now was dubbed a “calamity howler.”

What “Calamity** Dock.
Keep this before the people: When

is down to 6 per cent, and money goes
