Written for the Albanv IfxRALn.
The great wealth of the people of
this country is In their freedom. Witb
this, the invitation to European Immi
grants insured population. Then there
was wealth In freedom and It) num
bers, and to these were added the Im
mense, the magnificent wealth of the
lands of the Republic, in extent seem
ingly Inexhaustible. The gifts of the
homestead, the railroad grants, for
timber oulture and for drainage as
swamp lands, began the despoliation
of all this vast realty, and it la rapidly
disappearing, ltealde these methods
the gifts to soldiers, before the home
stead law must be named, and always
the sale to purchasers without limit as
to area, after the lands had been a cer
tain time on the market. During the
century in whloh the Republlo is thus
disposing of the publio lands, pros
perity among the people should be as
sured, Hew States, new areas, lands
for nothing, productive of agriculture
and wealth, why should not the coun
try well onduro every wasteful policy,
and survive with a large measure of
prosperity? What should hinder?
Only the end of all these gifts. 1
When we have no more cheap lands
tho country will cotno under the strin
gent regulations that prevail In all the
countries where the population grows
denser and the lands dearer, and what
are the people doing to provide for
that period whloh awaits posterity?
The coal lands of the country nro In
the hands of sohemers, who mine to
measure out a dole that the people
may pay such price as they consider
profitable.
Immense rnnohes In the West are
reserved for cattle, whloh war against
the country roadB to oonneot outlying
settlements, frequently enclosing large
areaaof the people’s lands; enclosed,
appropriated, but not paid for.
Tho timber lands have been selected
and bought to be held by. speculators,
who demand a tariff on Canadian,
lumber that the American market may
also bo reserved for them. This sys
tem made Alger a millionaire, capable
of buying a Presldenoy, and hla
chances were esteemed by the Repub
lican party beoauae of the advantages
of money In a oampalgn. To dwell
upon Alger la but to remark that he Is
a gentlemanly person of good morals,
who is quite willing to aooept a Presi
dency with money made out of the
lands onoe the property of the people,
seoured for a song and returning to
him millions. The writer merely uses
Alger as an Illustration, whose success
Is assured If plutooraoy Is not re
pressed.
It Is so with the gold and silver
mines—with all the wealth of the peo
ple. Government seems to have been
reduced to an agency to take from the
many for tho sake of the few, upon
whose contributions the party In
power depends for sueocss In retain
Ing the same, not holding a mortgage
ns security for the future—no not
even that, but hypothecating the few
remaining rights and possessions of
the people, and favoring out privi
leges to skin them as though the Re
publlo wiis an Inheritance of the few
instead of tho birthright of the masses.
Thus has the Republican party In
lying about the South, in pandering to
undying prejudices passing from gen
eration to generation, pursued a policy
of hate In cementing tho bonds of
Union that makes a mockery of pa
triotism and elevates sectionalism to a
dividend-paying estate. Ho South
erner In Congress could raise his voice
and oast hts vote against plundering
schemes, or measures destructive of
liberty, but he Is reminded that a gen
erous government withheld the halter
he deserved "for participation In the
most causeless rebellion against the
best government on the face of the
earth.”
The protective tariff, excessive pen
sions, bargains on river and harbor
bills, expensive prosecutions for petty
offenses, every soheme to fatten a few
that the masses might be made lean
and truculent, has been the polloy of
Republican legisla tlon.
The South wants no more war within
her border*. She will endure every
thing in preference. In a blow for
her liberty she was outnumbered and
bound; and ever since has been per
mitted to go through the forms of leg
islation in Federal affairs with a gag
in her mouth and with memories stung
with reproaoh. Hever before was suoh
a faroe of free government by a free
people, with Intimidation of political
destruction, held threateulngly before
them. The Republican party is a
party of money-makers. A pretense
of principle constitutes the chariot
wheels by ’frhtch they ride, to power,
grinding beneath the liberties of the
people.
But the South shall not protest, ex
cept at the ballot box, nor shall some
of her people as Third Party, or Alli
ance, strike down the only party hav
ing strength to cope with the great
anaconda of Republicanism. The
only hope of staying the greed of the
plutoorat, is the Demooratio party,
and the masses should rally to ita sup
port, and preserve now ita integrity
by their mighty vote and voices, rather
than to stand aloof, or work side raok-
ets, while the contest of the giants
goes on, «nd especially in this contest.
when the defeat of Democracy means
the triumph of plutocracy. Is there a
man In the South, no niatter what his
party name, that will submit to the
rule of money? .
Lot us go to the Republican party
for one good witness of the condition
of affairs, remembering that in the
past one-third of a century the Repub
lican party controlled the country ex
cepting four years of Demooracy un
der Cleveland, and remembering fur
ther that any work that tends to
divide tho Southern vote against Har
rison, or that directly aids Harrison,
Is an approval of the condition—an In
dorsement of Republican party work,
which Judge Gresham alludes to In
fearful terms. Here is a man, long a
favorite—but hopelessly—as worthy of
Presidential honors at the hands of
his party, the Republicans. An hon
ored Judge, a noble soldier, without
wealth, suffering from the wounds of
his soldier days—what does he say?
“I would say that the control of
elections and legislation by the cor
rupt use of money, more than any
thing else, menaces popular govern
ment nnd the public peace. If these
abuses nre not checked the conse
quences are likely to be disastrous. If
the people nre convinced that they
cannot rely on the ballot as-a means
of expressing their choice of men and
measures there will be a revolt, the
like of whloh the country has not
witnessed.
“The most Insidious of all forms of
tyranny Is pfutoernoy. Thoughtful
men see nud admit that our country is
becoming less and less democratic,
and more and more plutocratic. Tho
ambition and self-love of some men are
so great that they arc incapable of
loving their country.”
In a previous interview Judge
Greshnm said that he cuuhl not feel as
hopeful aB the platform of tho People’s
party expressed, that the rule of the
plutocrat would be overcome without
bloodshed in a revolt of the people.
This last Is quoted from memory, and
la about what the Judge said. Men of
the South, would you have nnothef
civil war, after thirty-two years’ ex
perience of wbat ono brought to you?
Gould there be a revolt of the laboring
masses and you not be brought into it,
to fight for or against the masses?
With the Republicans In power to pro
voke a rebellion, they would oall on
you to Join in putting it down while
they labor to exolte you to aid it with
your sympathy, that they may find a
pretext to again subdue you I Do not
put faith in your relentless foes, who
are not oontent with your Ineffectual
struggle and your twenty-seven years
of peaceful patriotism. They do not
hate you, but your prlnolples; and
they hate every liberty loving citizen
of the Republlo who views their work
with alarm, as does Judge Gresham
Judge Gresham is necessarily with the
Demooratio masses. It is not that
who are selling out the country, your
patrimony and mine. Up and to arms
for tho Union. No division now; no
qunrrol ns to office, for our liberties
are at stake, Demooratio prlnolples are
in peril. The people would be free—
by your ballots maintain that freedom

DSRUCHATS AWAKING.
Democrats of the Second Congres
sional dlstrlot are at last becoming
aroused and are awaking to the im
portance of thorough organization
nnd co-operation In the present oam
palgn.
From all over the district the news
that tho Hxrald receives is most en
couraging.
The people are beginning to under
stand and fully appreciate the fact that
O. 11. Stevens, the Alliance machine
candidate, is not the man to represent
this district in Congress, and, “as e
aB gun is Iron,” he is doomed to defeat.
All over the district the people are
repudiating him and his methods, and
the outlook for straight Democracy in
the old Seoond is brighter to-day Ilian
It has been since the campaign opened.
Democrats are becoming nroused.
Ben Russell Is making a gallant fight,
and the people are rallying to his sup
port. He took up the banner of true
Democracy when It was “going beg
ging,” so to speak, but he has raised
from the dust of lethargy and distrust,
and the vigorous campaign that he has
inaugurated has put an entirely 1
and more hopeful aspeot upon the po
litical situation throughout the dis
trict.
Let all Democrats of the Second dis
trict take oourage. We have Stevens,
the maohlne candidate, now on the run
and his defeat Is certain.
