The party of the blcody shirt has

the north and south for thirty years,

are concerned, at St. Umls and Omaha
The party that pretends to maintain
the Jeffersonian theory of govern
went clings frantically to its hold up
the south and shrieks out warnings
that the force bill spook will catch
them if they depart from It. This
too, will avail nothing. The People’s
Party proclamation put out In Amelia

ntocracy well when it says :
“Let us not be troubled more by
the threats of ‘force bills’ and ‘negro

now here in Virginia we have a‘force
bill,’ to enable midnight fraud to be
successfully practiced in the Ander
son-MeCoriuick election law, worse
than the threatened one; and let us
always bear in mind that the cries ol
‘splitting the party,’ ‘negro supretua

'N v , DR. FELTON DEMURS
ToTfro Constitution's Criticism of
His Position.
Near CartemviUe.Ga., Sept 5.- Ed
itor Constitution : I And two edito
rials In your issue of September 3d,
that specially interest me One is
headed “Bc*wa: , e of False Prophets,”
the other “Southern Farmers Not
Responsible.” In addition to this I
find an invitation from you in|thee
words:
“Silver has dropped and cotton has
dropped, as Dr. Felton says, but is 1
there the fain tost* shadow of an ex
cuse here for adopting a policy which
would intrench the republicans in
[ower which would perpetuate the
great orimeof si]vcrdenuftiet.Ration
which would insure the success ol the
force bill selieme which would divide
and destroy the social snd political
organization of tlie south?
' “If f>r. Felton can find that excuse,
let him write- it out andoend it to the
Constitution, so that the people of
the south may know definitely who
they are to surrender to republi
canism.”
You indirectly call me a “false
prophet,” because I told Mr. W G.
<loo pel that I held the national demo
cratic pa- ty responsible for “perpetu
ating the groat crime of silver demon
etization,” and therefore I should not
vote for Grover Cleveland the man
who sought to suspend the coinage of
silver when he was president, and
whose whole administration repre
sented a fight on the silver dollar -a
coin so dear to the common people.
In yonr review of The Financial
Chronicle, in your other editorial, I
find tin- following:
“But, when the editor goes on to i
place the responsibility of ‘our silver j
legislation,'and the situation that is i
assumed to he the result of It, on the
southern planters, we must enter an
emphatic, protest, The planters of
the south are not responsible, either
directly or indirectly, for what the
Financial Chronicle calls in a large
way ‘our silver legislation.’ ”
1 flatter myself that I am still a free
man in a republic and permitted to
make choice of a candidate for the
responsible office of president.. Asa
private oßisen never expecting to
offer for or hold another public office
during the remainder of my life, I
trust I shall not he hold up as a de- J
oeiver in the public prints when Igive
an opinion upon tlie present political
situation in the privacy of my own
home, as my honest convictions die
late. Ido not agree with the Finan
cial ( hroplvle when it holds southern
planters respuiisiblo H/r silver leg!sia-
Von. You were prompt to deny tlie
allegation. I thank you for it. .South
oiu planters are the principal suffer
er*. They %grcc with you kwa you
declare g “irfce coinage measure would
have been a taw” that “would restore
to silver its historic funcCtoiis and to
an equality before tlie law with gold,”
but they do not agree with you when
you say that “Wall street and the re
publican party are alone responsible”
fir advcfsfi silver legislation in the
present congou*
laical polities ill tlie statu t> trivial,
compared to congressional legislation,
which deals with a question that is
powerful enough to send gold abroad
in such immense volume, and which
has sent cotton and silver bullion
down to almost zerq prices, because
of this drain of gold and tlie lvv price
of our great staple. There were an
immense number of democrat* elect
ed to the present house of represen
tatives. I understand there are 838
members in all 240 democrat* ami
nlnety-twO republicans giving the
democrat* a clear majority of 148.
The democrats were elected to repre-:
sent southern plant ess as well as
bloated bondholders and western
grain producers The south had a
right to expect the democratic party
in congress to vote for the free coin
age of silver ami we saw a majority ,
in congress sufficient to have carried
any democratic measure through the
house of representatives and also a
two thirds majority sufficient to have
.carried any measure over President
Harrison’s veto.
I wish to impress this fact upon your
notice. Two hundred and fortv demo
crats were more than two-thirds of
a membership of *i2, and a two-thirds
vote, you are aware, will carry any
measure over the executive's veto.
No one will dispute such numbers
A republican senate passed the free
eoinage measure. Ah ! but I am told
it was oarriw} by a minority of repub
licans combined with a majority of
democratic senators. That Is true,
but another fact is significant, that
the republican party did not have the
power to compel Its member*.;;:,, •<•
the senate to defeat the Stewart bill.
A republican senate, the president’s
mainstay and his reliarce to carry
out the principles of his party pass
ed the free coinage hill, and sent it
oveifto the house with its H 8 demo
cratic majority.
Ninety democrats turned traitor to
their democratic principles and joined
the republicans to defeat the senate
measure. lam not able to say that
President Harrison would have vetoed
the Stewart bill, but it is reasonable
to suppose that he would not, for re
publicanism has had ibf stronghold in
the western states, where free silver
is so popular. But he w n relieved
from s dilemma by the criugiug stu
pidity of democrats. His friends can
now say he is a friend to both factious

agir(\- that southern planters had noth- 1
ing ii> do with bringing this trouble
on Aie country. Let us see what
Georgia planters did in this matter.
When the state met in convention
at Atlanta to select delegates to Obi-
wss expressly commanded
that a candidate Yor president should
l>e selected who Would carry out the
<lemovable polidy of free coinage of
siivcjr Two candidates had striven
to/win the support of Georgia demo
/rats, David Bennett Hi)l and Grover
Cleveland, and Cleveland won; but
1 his .delegates were, nevertheless,
pledged to free eoinage and friend!y
legislation for southern planters. You
know thXresult Cleveland was placed
on the track to make the race. I saw
no end on trouble in the future and it
has eofiA;. -Still I hoped there was
patriotismx nough in the present con
gress whith hod been elected to pass
a free measure to give us re
lief bcfore/Orover Cleveland went in
jto the wb/te house, if'elected in No
vember j , •
But 6hen I saw democratic con
grcsHijfrn falsify their pledges to Die
people, to oblige Grover Cleveland
and Wall street, I resolted to stand
and if called upon, to toll my
neighbors that I could not vote for a
man ti at had brought this financial
ruin upon Georgia farmers. I had
fondly hoped that the democratic
party was greater than any man claim
ing allegiance to that party, but it
was evident when the democratic con
vention assembled at Chicago, that
Wall street and its agent, Grover
Cleveland, captured tlie whole con
cern, “horse, foot and dragoons.”
They adopted a platform that is at
variance with nearly every interest of
southern planters. And, when a demo
cratic house of pepfCsentativeH was
presented with a free coinage bill it
was (lt'inonsti'M.t4ij that Wall street
hud not only captured the candidate,
hut tlie national democratic party.
Tic- financial ruin I hat overspread t he
, country last year stared those con
gri-ssmcn In the face They were en
treated to remember tlie distress at
j home I scanned the papers day by
day for a sign that congress appreci
ated our condition. The unrest, the
strikes, railroad bankruptcy, the pov
erty, the suffering in the south, all
appealed in piteous tones to these
j reproach tut'yes in Washington. Nor
i them democrats had piped and we
had daneod ever since the war. They
managed the democratic party; reaped
its official benefits and we did the
voting. Now we asked for relief, for
succor, by giving us more silver dol
lars the constitutional dollar that
has been a royal good dollar where
ever the flag floats and when we
asked for meal t hoy gave us q scor^
\\ bat wo FKv*, ail fxVft'
ers, with cotton at 8 cents and Still
plunging downward in company with
silver bfilljon, for such catch-penny
phrases as “Southern Unity,” “White
Supremacy,” “Force Bills," or threats
i of “Negro Domination,”, which have
lost their power to* mislead any man
ol common intelligence and fairness ?
To offer such threadbare pretenses to
an anxious and suffering constitueney
is to give a stuff*, v, they ask for
bread! 1
It is now apparent that the present
cotton crop will sell for the lowest
figures. As the Financial Chronicle
, stales, “this silver legislation is the
: cause of the large part of depression
whicl[ e(fists today,U
Mr. Editor, it may be policy to
whoop up the boys for the hope of
postmastorships, deputy marshals and
other fixed salaried olllces, but I toll
[ you there is no enthusiasm left in the
bone find smew of the country—the
men who hnvp plowed these lands, j
fenced these fields, built our homes,
erected our churches and school
houses and made this country all it is
in progress and prosperity.
A great many ff tfftef* grenp. qff and :
joined the Farmers' Alliance two years
ago, seeking relief, but they were be
troyod by unscrupulous men, who
stopped on their sliflulden into con
gross, kicking them down a* soon as
they were rewarded lor their dastard
ly betrayal.
But the time is coming when labor
will be listened ip and its demands
will bo respected. The laborer's toll i
has produced every dollar’s worth of
property in the country. Their fideli
ty ami honesty is the safeguard of the
republic. Mound to the soil, they;
bear the burdens of taxatiou and fight
our battles They are seeking relief
hy constitutional methods; they claim
their birthright of governing in a
(and which thujgl;nye enriched. They
have a right to complain, a vested
right.
You tell these men that they have
>‘tmt one NiftCwHirsp tp pursue, and
that is to put the democratic party in
power,” A cry is raised all over the
land, “Pnt democrats in office and 1
limy wHJ agvf fpii J” What have they
done heretofore but put dennjesats in
office? A party that commands its
followers without roferenoe to the,
principles It espouses or its want of:
principles in congress, stands in s po
sition that makes it unnecessary for
me, and impossible in the very nature
of things, to slate a reaaoil that
would be satisfactory to the demo-
cratic partisans for any action that
would antagonise party success. Ido
not make this statement in an offeu
sive sense, but tnere is but one argn
ment advanced tn the present cam
paign that is, “sta- and by the dtuuo.
cratie party." How long must they
barter their convictions and their
manhood, continuing to place in ppw
er certain meg whom 1 conscientious,

Industries of the country 1 Wood pub

erty. Southern planters find their
property unprotected, while a perpet
ual demand is made for taxes and cus
tom duties Mr. 1 leveiand's friends
make boast tk.it he paid out morc
pensioo money than any preeideti'
before or after him. You give me a
friendly lecture and call on me to
write out my reasons for “surrender
ing to r?publicaA*m.”
In reply, I wodld ask vou to give
me a reason for allowing the demo
cratic party to* out Ilerqd Herod in
this outrageous pension business?
What relief can we expect when the
democratic party selects ns its stand
ard hearer a man pledged to the great
crime of silver demonetization ? What
relief from in mopolies can we expect
when Cleveland is cheek by jowl with ,
the great Standard Oil monopoly for
is not Mr Whitney”* wealth repre- j
soiled by the pTfiftto o\jhe Standard
Oil Company ? What hope have tax
payers when Mr. Cleveland, as presi
dent, loaned over sixty millions of
their tax money to his favorite banks
aqd hankers for a trifle of interest?
Wfiat hope have we in the pension
business, when he made southern
democrats adopt a platform at Chica
go that “appreciates” the services of
the soldiers and sailors in the federal
army in “preserving the union;”
therefore, the democrats are willing
to pay out one hundred and fifty mil
lion per annum to federal 'Veterans ?
I, for one, do not “appreciate” worth
a cent, l can submit, because X am
ol liged to do it, hat the rack couldn’t
extort from me any such a confession
os this word “appreciate” implies.
I claim to he a Jeffersonian demo
crat. I expect to die on®; but I will
never attempt to crowd the broad
'muscular democracy of Jefferson in
to this hide-hound Cleveland jacket
While I took pleasure in denouncing
the republican party for demoneti
zing silver in 1873, I should despise
myself for endorsing Grover Cleve
land, who perpetuated the great
crime of silver demonetisation in 1892
Tl.e very essence of good govern
ment is freedom of tnought, freedom
of speech, freedom of action, freedom
of discussion and a free ballot. Ala
bama and South Carolinia present ex
am pies of the reaction that follows
tyranical party domination. “Count
ing out,” and “counting in” are dan
gerous methods in politics. In Ala
bama the democratic party went into
the black belt to find a majority for
Governor Joues, Such majorities as
he counted It are staggering when
compared to democratic abuse of re
construction politics. You know and
I know there could be no force bill
that wuuid give more liberty to n®
groes than Governor June's campaign
in Alabama. And Grover Cleveland
mmhihaste *o congratulate tills tri
tnfipff of i£gr<* vuflfe Over the - whtoN
farmers of the State?
The colored vote will decide the
state election In Georgia. The can
didates are appealing for it already
How silly then to say the defeat of
(-rover Cleveland would “destroy the
social and political organization
of the South!” Ten years ago if a
governor had made boast of his elec
tion by negro votes over the white
men of Alabama, he would have been
socially ostraoised, no matter ft t
party ho belonged to Look at South
Carolinia! Democrats held a state
primary to select a governor and
state house officers. Offices were
bought of the lenders at bo much a
head! pistols, knives,
oaths, aU playi-d their part. The old
time political organization, that
elected Hampton and counted in Hays
not only showed its cloven foot, but
its very solid anatomy, from head to
foot And it is safe to sav that a rc
i pub!loan scramble for stale offices un
der similar circumstances would have
been jeered at with unquestioned
hate and ferocity all over the South.
The Tjefftmug i qaiq tq be vain of his
broad feathers until he looks
down at 4i(s ungainly feet, We are
now coufcriUHt to And out what par
ties stand upon rather than their
boastful pretensions and uiaimsto in
fallihilttv.
If this republic endures, the time is
coming when intelligence and com
mon sense will repudiate shotguns at
the polls and ballot ho* frauds. To
disagree . with Grover Cleveland’s
politics is hardly sufficient to imply
that I have “surrendered to republi
canism, 1 but 1 should feel that I had
surrendcred-to the same sort of a po
litical machine If I should condone
the deft? it of the free coinage bill to
which the democratic party was
pledged, because Grover Cleveland
was nominated and he hoped td get
campaign assistance from the money
kings In Wall street.
1 trust you will tell your readers if
the pat) peri ration of Georgia farmers,
caused by the deinouetixstion of sil
ver will be more palatable under
1 Cleveland or Harrison. It appears to
me as if centralised capital hfts put
out two tutudidaios fur ini own safety.
Hit or miss, it is sure of its own. 1
expect you to tell me that southern
congressmen voted, against
Cleveland’s dictation, for the free
coinage of silver- Why then are they
shoutiug themselves hoarse to re-elect
Cleveland to vote any future bill for
free coinage? I expect you to reply
that the Chiuaga platform favors free
coinage under restrictions that are
not clearly defined in the platform,
but can be discovered in the vicinity
of Walt street, If SO cents of silver
bullion van be added to the present
dollar, thereby abstracting 30 cents
from every dollar's worth of cotton,
grain and other farm product*, the
Utaveiaad men age is are willing, of
course- But what is the matter with j
the dollar of our fathers the dollar
that ha* been the or the g* W
dollar, to l*ay all dura public and j
private? It is a deliberate conspiracy
on the part of those enjoying fixed
salaries of large incomes from
speculative pursuits, to mass the
purchasing power of gtfcl niach
greater than tliat of silver, and to
tlfiod this pountry with disaster and
bankruptcy that they may buy In the
property exposed to sale, for little or
nothing Silver is now practically
demonetized by the refusal of the
pr sent house of representatives to
order its free coinage. There is no
silver coinage in the United States
today at its mints. The raw bullion
is being deposited and eeititi iitosare
being issued thereon. Vail street
desires toretire even the limited
volume of greenbaeks in present
circulation, substitute therefor
naJ nal bank bills
In a few years unless there is powc r
in the land to restore freedom to the
laboring classes gold will Ire the single
standard of value and the only legal
tender known to the people of the
I nited States. The Chicago platform,
with Grover Cleveland to execute its
will, proposes to flood this country
with state bank paper that can never
he made a legal tender for any debt in
this country, because the states have
no power to make anything legal
tender, except gold and silver coin.
The general govermeut alone has
power to coin money.
In me name of justice and reason,
contemplate the coining doom of ag
ricultural laborers and producers in
I this country. Having paid oil' the
farmers in state bank issues with
gold the only legal tender for debts
under this Cleveland policy and the
only standard of value known to the
country! With all that gold in the
banks and vaults of Wall street and
its sub-agencies scattered throughout
’the union! My God knows, I shrink
from the contentplation of human
suffering when that fearful ex'.reality
is reached! and this is the policy ot
Grover Cleveland! Ido not impeu li
the honesty of our so them congress
men. The party lash has been
cracked over their heads until they
are bewildered as to their duty to the
people they represent.
I ,pi| a farmer. I speak from that
(Standpoint. You told us in an edito
rial that one hundred and eighty
millions of dollars were lust tq
southern planters on last year’s cotton
crp. Cotton opened last year at 0
and 10 ce ts. This year it opens at 6]
cents. Where will it s'op in its down
ward course? May the Father pity the
hard-working man that is thus being
ruined that the democratic and repub
lican parties may contend for the
favor of these “money kings'’ in the
coining election!
In yegterdfUf’** Oqnstitutlon you re
port Atlanta’s, wealth at fifty-seven
miKiu&e *f !st*“Mie wealth
of the state. It is probable that ot her
cities are keeping pace with this ab
normal growth. You n>ny nqt And it
difficult to understand the decrease in
rural districts. In the cities hanks and
centralized wealth congregate they
grow by accretion—not by pro
duction. They promise to absorb all
valtius in a limited space of time. As
the cities expand, pari passa, the ag
ricultural homes dwindle and decjjy.
It is the catch-word ot the day to
call fanners, laborers and the general
workman of the county “ealamaty
howlers.” These men whose lines
are cast iu hard places, are forced by
severe and constant toil tq
their families under those adverse cir
cumstances. These cities are the
consumers of other people’s labor and
the gatherers of the fruit of other
people’s toil. Consumers and produ
eers are necessity ta the \yeil being
of each uiner. Asa lover of my coun
try, I warn you there must be g.,mo
thing done to assist t’<u) fund popula
tion or tltWO wUI ho untold confusion
and perhaps disaster. As the foun
tain dries up, the stream will disap
pear. Yuu may call me a “false pro
phet.” but I fool that 1 am an honest
one. The time was when Noah was
called a false prophet, but the flood
was not hindered thereby. The royal
money lords of France felt safe in
power and arrogance, hut the guillo
tine reached their necks, nevertheless,
during the revolution.
If I mistake not The Constitution
congratulated its readers that Geor
gia had a small army of soldiers at
this time,‘mobilized and ready to start
when the drum tapped. Tennnessee,
New York, Pennsylvania Idaho have
all had troops in action within the
past thirty days. Theoretically the
people govern, but the bayonet is the
popular protection at this time
There is no rebelion of states, no
treason abroad, no invasion by foreign
troops, but there must be a valid rea
son for such warlike demonstration.
I expcted to do nothing and say
nothing in this campaign. By with,
holding my vote from the democratic
candidate I shH obey Uie dictated
of my oonaetmM>e and my doty to
those dependent on me. Since you
heralded me as a “false prophet,” I
thank you for an opportunity of
defending my position as a free man
and a responsible citizen. While I
am not a third party man, I cannot
reproach them for opposing this
Cleveland movement, ainee they saw
the action of the democratic majority
in congress. For twenty-six years
they have been loyal to the
democratic party of the south. They
were restless two yours a*vj and 1
begged them to wait, for one more
trial, one more chance for sympathy
if not relief from the domooraUf j
part)'. They have been grossly
devolved by hotitious promises, they
have been basely betrayed by their
chosen leaden in many cases. I
cannot wonder at the unrest and
discontent. They are seeking relief
and all th • comfort t hey gel from the .
democratic party is “vote for
Cleveland.” T co .Id not vote for
Weaver, because I do not endorse his
railroad and subtrees®ry schemes;
bdl I never will vote for either
Harrison or Cleveland, the viee
rrgents yt Wall street Very truly.
William H. Fklton.
Misrepresentations and Tom
foolery.
There are many misrepresentations
concerning the respective parties of
Harrison and Cleveland in this l aiu
i paign. Let us take one item in con
n ction w ith the silver dollar.
Democratic speakers are announc
ing from every stump that the free
| coinage of silver would only increase
41 r currency thirty cents per capita
in the I nited States.
Do they believe the people to lie
fools ?
Do t hey not understand that the
free coinage of s’lver, if confined to
the annual silver production of this
epuntry, would give from fifty to sev
enty millions of dollars per annum?
They allege that foreign silver would
pour into this country for free coin -
age, thus adding millions more to the
circulation of the American silver
dollar. Do they not know that this
influx would continue for an in
definite term of years ? In ten years
one billion of silver dollars would be
added to the coin of this country.
Candidate Maddox now tells us tliat
“silver is now dead no issue but the
tariff.” He gives evidence that he
will go to Washington to obey Cleve
land and further plunge every farmer
in Georgia deeper into poverty, bank
ruptcy and ruin. Every fanner in
Georgia that supports Maddox or
Cleveland deliberately votes to keep
his cotton down to five and six cents
a pound; and liberately votes to impov
erish his own wife and children; de
liberately votes to pauperize the farm
ers to build up money kings and
speculators. Don’t he deceived. If
you support Maddox you deliberately
agree to bury silver and support the
demands of Wall street Listen,
firmers! You da not desire to keep
yourselves in serfdom to Wall street
and the money sharks.
The People’s party is pledged to
economy; to low tariff: to free coinage;
to better times; to regulation of rail
roads; to a graduated income tax; to
the abolition of the national hanks;
to more money and less misery. •The

We eantion the voters of Georgia
against those in that State or elsr -
where who invent lies and start all
manner of infamous falsehoods
intended to canse the people to
mistrust, those who are so unselfishly
trying to help the people to better
the conditions, their homes, tbeir
families and the country. When the
leaders of any party resort to lies as
well as to votes, and then propose to
lug in clnbs, knives and other
weapons for use against those who
are' real friends of the people, the
inference is that loafers instead of
statesmen, and ignorance rather than
intelligence arc crowding to the front
on partisan lines. Honest causes
need iiomolx or violence to advance
them. Advance Thought.
A special from Calhoun to the At
lanta Journal of the 13th fast, says :
The Third Party met at the court
house here bpsurday and nominated
John W. Love for ordinary, C. P. Nel
son clerk of the superior''court, Z. F.
Wilson tax receiver, It. 11. Pittman
tax collector, J. H. Harmon sheriff, S.
M. Dillard treasurer. A Third Party
apostle named Miller was nominated
for coroner, but refused .to accept.
General P. M. B. Young spoke and re
marked that it was better for them to
have no coroner and let a democratic
coroner officiate at the Third Party’s
death. Colonel Rankin spoke also.
A great sensation has just been
created iu Paris by a rich man with
nothing to do. He has actually
caused a mail coach to be constructed
after the pattern of a hundred years
ago, and he has driven it to Trouville
on a dea.T run. He was accompanied
by Hufforn Tailor. This return to
antiquity is almost as important as if
somebody should construct a
steamboat on the model of Robert,
Fulton’s “Clermont,” and operate it
on the Hudson River. Porhapa we
shall live to see the day when a man
in the garb of a Puritan will ride on a
gray horse, with his red-headed daugli -
ter perched up behind on a pillion.
Tiiat would be real cute.

AN APPLE ORCHARD.
Some valuable suggestions made by
Proffessor Lazenby at an Ohio Horti
cultural meeting were as follows:
Never plant deeper than the tree
stood in the nursery row. Never
oinit applying a mulch to young trees
if there is the slightest danger of
drought, Never forget that low, stout
1 not stunted) trees are preferable to
tall slender ones.
Never forget that a hardy, vigor
ous, productive variety, of medium
quality, infinitely more dcsireable
than a feeble-erowing-ahv-bearing
variety of much better quality.
Never buy a large number of vari
eties for a strictly commercial or
chard. This is a common and seri
! ous mistake. Five varieties are
usually too many;' three are better,
j and a single one may prove to be tho
; best of all.
Never Util to have a succession of
i apples for home use. For this pur
pose a few trees each of a somewhat
i larger list of varieties may be selected.
