We've “Flopped.”
We stated in last week’s Gazette
Unit our opinion in reference to Rev.
Thad Pickett lmd changed, but one
of our friends on the other side who is
ono of Jackson county’s most honored
fanners, thinks perhaps that wo have
not been sufficiently emphatic and
suggests that we make a more possi
tive statement, that the people may
thoroughly understand our position,
and in accordance with said sugges
tion we say: As we understood the
situation thou we could not support
Mr. Pickett, but as we understand
the situation now we can; consequent
ly we’ve “flopped.”
The straight-out democratic party
papers are having a great deal to say
about Tom Watson generally, and
specially charging him with being
elected as a democrat and then de
serting the party, all of which is a
misrepresentation. Hut how about
the ninety four democrats who voted
against the silver bill ?
What Shall We I>o to Please
’Em ?
Two years ago the democratic party
devotees abused the alliance, and
said all sorts of hard things about the
organization for putting out. candidates
for democrats to support. Now those
same discontented creatures ask the
people’s party people, which is the
alliance, why they don’t stay inside
the democratic party as they were
two years ago, and let the g. o. p.
pelt them over the head as it did
then.
One straight-out democratic party
worshiper askes us why wo don’t wear
our people’s party badge, saying:
“You’re ashamed of the party to
which you belong.” Another abuses
us for wearing it.
The Jackson Herald pours out his
unmeasured wrath upon our head for
saying we could not support Mr. Pick
ett, and now our brother is unmerci
fully venomous because we say we
will support him.
We are not going to get into any
row with Brother Holder because it
is contrary to the teachings of God’s
word to fuss, and we hope our belov
ed brother will pardon us when we
offer an idea that fits too tight. Hut
in our opinion the editor of The
Herald, like the little old dried-up
democratic party that he is trying to
pull out of the ditch of despondency,
would actually kick if he was dang
ling in mid air at the end of rope
around his neck.
If Brother Holder can flop why
can’t we? If w r e were laboring under
the wrong impression as to Mr. Pick
ett it certainly is our duty to make
acknowledgements. A Christian
would not do less.
We would love to insist on know
ing what we shall do to please ’em.
Livingfton and Moses were elected
two years ago on the abolition of
the national banking system and the
sub-treasury. Where do they stand
now ?
General J. B. Weaver will speak at
Athens on the 26th instant.
The Defeat of llverett.
A crueller tiling was never done by
the democratic party. He had staid
at his post of duty like a man till the
gavel fell. He knew the machine
politicians were putting thoir knives
in his back nt homo, still lie did not
budge from his place. ’ Livingston
ran home every time a bush shook.
Moses couldn’t stay to savo his life.
At the slightest racket in his district
he would put out for home and go to
whining through his nose in behalf of
his own bacon.
Everett stayed where he was paid
to stay. lie did not pocket the
money of the people in plain violation
of law, as Moses and Livingston did.
Honest man that he is, he earned
every cent he took.
How was he rewarded ? The demo
crats kicked him out and only salved
the wound by a resolution of endorse
ment, “which was unanimously car
ried.”
If he deserved a unanimous endorse
ment, why did he not deserve the
seoond term which is always accorded
when the congressman has done his
duty? Why insult the victim of
machine malice by deceitful resolu
tions of “unanimous endorsement?”
What was the man’s crime ?
Simply that he was an allianeeman
and did not take the Chicago humbug
platform as his only doctrine*
Poor little Moses! Poor old Liv
ingston ! In two years you will real
ize that the same knives are being
sharpened for you, and that you have
got to abandon the principles to which
you owe your elevation from obscuri
ty or you will be cut down just as
Everett was.—T. E. W. in P. P. P.
Then and Now.
“Any person holding any office or
any stock in any institute in the na
ture of a bank for issuing or discount
ing bills or notes payable to bearer
or order, cannot be a member of the
house whilst he holds such office or
stock.”
The preceding sentence was a reso
lution passed by the congress of the
United States, 23rd of December,
1793, and was signed by no less a
personage than George Washington,
president. It is thus evident that the
statesmen of the early days of the
republic had a wholesome dread of
the “influence’' of the bankers, if they
were allowed to take part in the con
duct of the government. At that
early day there were but few banking
institutions in the country, but the
power of combined capital to oppress
the people was fully appreciated by
those placed in authority’, and they I
grimly determined that capital should
n€>t control the governmental affairs.
These sturdy old statesmen cared
little for their own personal aggran
dizement. No influence that the
sleek tongued representatives of mon
ey could bring to bear had any efiect
upon these great men. Seeing the
right and being imbued with a true
and pure patriotism, they had but one
thought and aim and that was to pro
tect the people who had confided
their interests to their hands, from
that power which history and experi
ence taught them was death to those
interests, if allowed to control. Jef
ferson, the father of the principles
that were the guide for the footsteps
of the democracy of the nation for
years, hesitated not to proclaim the
danger to the republic of this bank
ers’ “influence” in legislation, and in
his fundamental ideas of government,
laid down the maxim “that the cur
rency of the nation should be in the
control of the people and not of a
special monied class of national hanks
or other corporations.”
The control of the circulating me
dium of the nation, and through that,
control of the material interest and
prosperity of the people, was the dan
ger that he feared should the monied
power gain access to the law making
power of the government. To pro
vent this was his object, and the
great struggle that arose between the
government and the monied influence
during the subsequent years proves
conclusively to the student of that
portion of our country’s history, that
his position was well taken,
It is a fact undisputed that since
the beginning of the republic the fol
lowers of 2\lexander Hamilton’s theo
ry of government, have at various
times succeeded in injecting their
pernicious doctrines into the legisla
ture of the country and eafch time
that this has happened, the opportu
nity was opened to them through the
necessities of the government, pro
duced by the calamity of war. The
power of the United States hank had
grown so greatly during the time that
elapsed between the termination of
the wyir of 1812 and Andrew Jackson’s
presidency that it becamo evident to
that great democrat that au end must
be put to its encroachments or it
would gain the absolute mastery of
the national currency. The bill re
chartering tho United States bank he
promptly vetoed, and removed the
government funds from the bank.
John C. Calhoun in a speech de
livered in 1837 before congress, said
of national banks:
“Never was an engine invented
better calculated to place the destiny
of the many in the hands of the few,
or less favorable to that equality and
independence which lies at the bot
tom of our free institutions.” Again
on the same occasion in speaking of
the moral effect of the banking sys
tem upon the youth of the country he
said:
“The rising generation cannot but
feel its deadening influence. The
youths who crowd the colleges and
behold the road to honor and distinc
tion terminating in a lunkbig house,
will feel the spirit of emulation, decay
within them and will no longer be
pressed forward by generous ardor to*
mount up the rugged steps of science
as the road to honor and distinction,
when, perhaps, the highest point they
could attain, in what was once the
most honorable and influential of all
the learned professions, would be the
place of attorney of a bank.”
There were statesmen in those days,
and the events of later days have
proven that they were prophets as
well.
The democratic platform of 1860
declared emphatically the opposition
of the party to national banks, and
the policy of the government lending
its credit to a corporation. The civil
war gave the “monied power” its
chance to engraft upon the policy’ of
the government the system advocated
by Hamilton. Profiting by the great
struggle they procured admittance
into the halls of congress, and through
that dreaded “influence” that the
fathers of demoeiacy had so long
struggled against, they succeeded in
changing ihe whole financial system
that had been in vogue since the early
days of the republic, and fastened a
new one upon the people, that has
wrought poverty, distress and rain
among the masses, and produced two
classes that are a bitter curse to any
nation—tramps and millionaires.
How stands the democracy of to
day upon this living issue? Have
they followed in the footsteps of the
great leaders Jefferson and Jackson ?
How are they to be judged, by the
people to whom they must account
for their deeds ? By their declara
tions as set forth in their platforms ?
If so then will the judgment be: “Go
forth, oh! ye traitors, we, the people,
delivered into your keeping a fair
heritage and ye have sold it to oar
oppressors for gold.”
The people are up and doing, and
with strong hands and willing he.'ffts
they will cleanse their temple and
cast out the money changers and
traitorous servants, who have so long
defiled it. So mote it be.—The Truth.
