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 Democrat. d embraces everything in the Hardware and House Furnishing Goods Departments. Roofing, Tinning and Plumbing.

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. I.
