politics, to-wit: an incorporated as
sociation to be known as "The Sam
uel J. Tilden Club.”
Associated with Cleveland in the
incorporation of this club are David
B. Hill, Daniel S. Lamont, William
C. Whitney and others who have
been prominent in democratic poli
tics. It is suggested by the incor
porators that this club is to be the
pioneer in the movement suggested
by Grover Cleveland for "the re
organization of Democracy, and to
promulgate true democratic princi
ples throughout the United States.
However pure the purpose of
these gentlemen might be, the idea
is suggested that they intend to be
“the men who control:” Incorpor
ated politics is repugnant to the
masses of the people. Articles of
incorporation at once suggest the
idea of corporate gian, and personal
profit for those who control, with
the people to furnish everything ex
cept the management, and to get
nothing m the way of benefit or
emolument. This is antagonistic to
the fundamental principles of the
democracy that alone can sustain
and perpetuate a true republic.
True to to their instinct and prac
tice as money getters, these incor
porators are seemingly preparing to
try the syndidate plan in politics in
order that they share tho political
profits directly, or to control their
distribution.
Unfortunately, this country has
already suffered much by the results
of syndicated politics.
If these incorporators, Hill and a
few others excepted, had combined-
withe the demcratic party last fall
with earnest energy, instead of* de
serting to the enemy, there would
be no opportunity now to talk about
a losing democracy.
A deserter while the battle is on
commits a most grievous violation
of honor and law, and it is the rank
est presumption for such a person
to even suggest reorganization when
the forces h’e deserted have lost the
fight. -
The people don’t want syndicated
leaders, nor incorporated politics.
Knowing they will furnish*the votes,
the people will demand, and enforce
it, a voice in choosing the leaders.
Perhaps Mr. Cleveland may call
his incorporated club the means of
giving the rank and file a chance.”
There is rank heresy in his proposi
tion, and the people will produce a
file to cut through the chain with
which he seeks to bind them.
A chance the people will have,but
not any incorporated politics.

Within one day last week business
men of Atlanta subscribed $8,500 to

to provide needed buildings and

subscription will be largely in
creased.
The Atlanta Constitution offers
,500 in cash to the agents who se
cure the greatest number of Weekly
subscriptions during the first three
months of the twentieth century.
There is no need for us to extol
the merits of the Weekly Constitu
tion, as it stands in the front rank
of family papers.
The details of the contest are giv
en in a large advertisement on an
other page of this paper.
The Constitution wants good
agents everywhere, and good men
can make money taking subscrip
tions.
The price of the Weekly Consti
tution is $1.00 a year, but we club
The Home Journal with it at $2.00
for both, including the choice of
several agricultural papers, books,
etc.

Who desire a further decrease in the
price of cotton. As a means to that
end, there have recently been fre
quent declarations that an unusually
large. amount of cotton is being held
unsold in the warehouses and on the
farms. While this announcement, so
often repeated, is evidently intended
to reduce the price, or prevent its
rise, it is, if true, an evidence of a
greater degree of prosperity among
the farmers than •within recent years.
Heretofore very few of them have
been able to hold their cotton.-
During the year 1900 the estima-
mated production of gold in the
United States was $79,322,281, and
of silver $36,362,431. The aggre
gate weight of the gold is given at
3,837,213 fine ounces/and of silver
59,610,543 fine ounces. The increase
in the production of gold over the
year 1899 was more than nine mil
lion dollars in value, while there was
a decrease of over five million ounces
in the production of silver.
