More Money Needed.
There is little argument that
can be produced to convince the
public that there is not more
money needed in this country.
It would he a qad undertaking
to go before a people who have
felt the oppression of the money
power and convince them that
they have money enough, l et
this is the very thing that is
attempten, even by the treasury
department itself. Next week
we will give you some statis¬
tics in rebuttal to the statement
of the treasury, which shows
over a billion dollars in circula
tion, when in face there is hut
£ 310 , 879 , 842.11
The total amount among
the people is about five dollars
per capita, when the treasury
department is claiming about
twenty-three. Next week we
will give you the figures, show¬
ing that three-fourths of the
money claimed to he in circula¬
tion is not in circulation a great
deal of it not even in existence.
We do not know the facts
concerning the places mention¬
ed; but it will take more than
a mere statement for Mr. Irwin
to convince ns that he has rep¬
resented the case cerrectly. A
leader of the people, a teacher
of Alliance prineiplef, should
not make such mistakes even
ignorantly—Rockdale Banner.
The above article intimated
that we are attempting to mis¬
lead the people in regard to the
cost of running a few custom
houses. He admits that he
knows nothing of the facts, yet
cast this insinuation thinking
thereby to poison a few people
against us. If he is ignorant of
the subject he ought to keep
his mouth shut. We say nothing
that we object to a fair criticism
of, but when a man criticises
lie ought to know at least some¬
thing about the subject. We
did dot expect the editor of the
Banner to he convinced. He
belongs to that class tha*t don’t
want to be convinced.
Not With the Editors.
A few days ago the democratic ed¬
itors of Kansas met and issued an
address to the people. In that ad¬
dress they deprecated any fusion with
the alliance and scored the sub-treas¬
ury a number of hard licks, denounc¬
ing it as unwise and uudemocaatic.
It is very evident that the editor did
not represent the democrats of Kan¬
sas. In the very first democratic
meeting of the people in Kansas after
the address of the editors appeared
they endorse the fusion idea and
agree to go with the alliance. The
following from that state shows which
way the wind is blowing in Kansas:

state, made a long speech in favor of

but rather of republican defeat. His

Let Him Investigate
Jn the last issue of our con¬
temporary, the editor who does
not know which he is, we are
treated to a column and a half
oil acconn t of our haviitg refered
to the great extravagance of the
government in building expen¬
sive custom houses and main¬
taining them at great expense,
while if the farmers wanted a
common warehouse the leaders
of the parties looked at suejt a
proposition with holy horror.
The Runnier feels called upon to
take the other side of the ques¬
tion and stand upon the plat¬
form it has stood on for the past
three years.
Judgeing from his article he
doesn’t think that there is hut
two custom houses in the Uni
ted States one at Atlanta and
one at Augusta. However, if
the editor will investigate lie
will find several other custom
houses in this country. We
would advise him k) study the
Geography and history of this
country and then study the
government for about ten years
and at that time he might know
something about these questions.
The Banner says that these
custom houses are used for
court houses and post offices.
It says: “If so, then what has
become of his argument for
corruption? It falls unsupport¬
ed by facts, hut not without
leaving its poison of discontent
in the minds of those who may
not have an opportunity to
learn better.”
We expected that the admin¬
istration at present suited the
Banner. It could see no fault
in f lu 1 many outrageous appro¬
priation made by that body.
The government as it now
stands and is administered is
very dear to that paper, but it
will he a long time in convinc¬
ing tliis people thatgtliere isn't
something rotton up the creek
something that stinks. Our
eonteinporarx need have no
uneasines-i about our farmers
being misled; they are not a set
of fools oi ign ora mouses as the
Banner intimates, that they
could be poisoned by any state¬
ment. They are posted on the
questions of the day, and we
are willing to pit nine out of ten
against the prophetic editor of
the Banner and stake our head
on the result. They would clean
up the man who ‘never advised
the farmers wrong in a single
instance” and who has lately
blossomed into a full tiledged
prophet on the pittance question.
It is time for the Banner to join
Carswell and write a hook on
the “end of the alliance.” Two
mighty (?) prophets have arisen
and great is the contest for su
premaev. The contest is on and
the question is whether Carswell
will gt t the world to an end be¬
fore O Kelley will the alliance.

“Pumpkin Sure”
Under modern interpretations
we hardly know whether we
are bimetalists or monmetalists:
hut, whichever we are we want
it clearly understood that we
want an abundance of coin
both gold and silver, and the
like denominations to he- of the
same intrinsic value, or as near¬
ly so as practicable. Will some
one please tell us which we are.
—Rockdale Banner.
A political speaker was deliv
ering an oration to an audience
of farmers and wanted to estab¬
lish his pedigree as a farmer.
He said that he was raised on a
farm, though he had*never done
any work. His parents and
grand-parents were farmers and
in fact, he said, “I was horn be¬
tween two com rows. A voice
from the crowd said “he’s a
pumpkin, sure.” Now, from the
Banner’s statement on the silver
question he must he a pumpkin
snre.
A negro broke into a store in Ma¬
con a few days ago and accidentally
hung himself with the elevator. He
broke into the cellar of the store and
found the elevator standing even with
the upper floor. He placed a box
under the elevator and pushed it up
and gained entrance to the floor above.
After lobbing the money drawer and
securing a liberal amount of goods he
attempted to doscend through the
same opening. He failed to reach
the box and in his efforts he caught
the rope which lowered the elevator
and cought his neck between the ele¬
vator and floor. He was found in this
position next morning dead. It was
one time that the crimiual ex ecuted
j ustice accidentally.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun is
still trying to boost Cleveland and
says that the state senators who
object to him don’t know the Georgia
democrats. There may be a great
many of the rabble in the cities who
would run after Cleveland, because of
their absolete ignorance of the public
questions of the day, but the great
mass of thinking people will not
swallow Cleveland. The Enquirer
Sun simply shows its ignorance of
the public feeling when it asserts
that the democrats of Georgia will
sopport Cleveland with his present
expressed views on the silver question.
A very large majority of the vote's of
this country are in faver of free silver
and no gold bug will be able to throt¬
tle their voice in the coming election.
The alliancernen of Glascock coun¬
ty are preparing for a big rally
about Aug. 15. Several alliance lead¬
ers will be invited to be present.
Tom Watson has agreed to meet
Senator Butler over in South Caroli
na in a joint discussion of the sub
treasury scheme. The Georgians
will have the disadvantage of repre
seating a had cause.—Columbus
Enquirer-Sun.
Watson may represent a cause
that is bad in the eye of the Enquirer
Sun, but smarter, abler and more
patriotic people than editor Richard
son look at it in a different light.
Watson will have an advantage of
Butler even in his own state, and
that is the sympathy of the people.
Strange intimations have been
given out in Washington that Presi.
dent Hrrrisou can no longer carry the
weignt of Wanamaker’s very ques¬
tionable connection with that my¬
steriously disastrons Kepstone bank
failure and defalcation and there
fore quite plainly indicated his desire
to read over the Postmaster Gener¬
al’s resignation with a view to accep
ting it at an early date. It is now
said to be in the executive clutches
and its fate is regarded as a fore*
gone conclusion. That makes three

FOOTPRINTS OF THE WORLD’S
HISTORY,
Ben Franklin once made the state
ment, “Schools teach us the rudi
manta of language, but books teach
us how to think: therefore, no man
is truly educated unless he is a rea
der of books.” Ben was right bnt he
lived in an age when books were so
scarce, comparatively s[ easing, that
but little of the pernicious in litera
ture was toiorated. But in tbtse
days it 19 different. Your bots
thirst/or a knowledge of the world,
and if you don’t give them sime
wholesome reading to slake that
thirst, they will get hold of cheap,
sensational stories that will poison
their minds and do them terrible in
There is 6uch a vast amount of
this trashy stuff being p>ured into
the market at the present time that
it is a relief to p ; ck up a new book
that is at once thrillins* romantic
wholesome, pure and true.
Such a work is “Footprints of the
World’s History,” the latest ard
greatest work of the two c»Tibrated
historians, John Clark Ridpath and
Wm. S Bryan. These distinguish
ed gentlemen having won the r iau
reis by independent writings, have
co operated on this work, and pro
duced a gem “of the purest ray
serene.” It is not a dry, uninterest
ing statement of tiie plain facts, but
rather each of the roost important
events of history has been taken up
and described by a master of langu¬
age who holds the reader entranced
as he wends his way along the path
of history, lollowing carefully in the
footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this superb
volume. Perfect in thought, superb
in style and magnificent in execu
tion. The bindings are sum-ptuous,
as are also the many illustrations
and colored plates. The Publishers
have rightly concluded that such a
gem should have a rich setting.
It is a valuable addition to litera
tnre. It is a bood for the old as well
as the young; the married as well
as the single; the gay as we 1 as the
grave. Everybody will read it vi h
equal eagerness and (rofit. It is

A LIBERAL PROPOSITION.
Who has not heard of that paragon
of family papers, the enterprising and
populaa Weekly Detroit Free Press?
For a generation its name has been
a household word and has become a
synonym for all that is excellent, pure
aud eievrting in journalism. It is
delightfully entertaining, without
resort to cheap sentimentalism, in
struettye without being prosy or pe
dantic. Combining the literary qua¬
lities of tha expensive magaxine with
the bright, breezy characteristics of
the newspaper it leaves nothing to be
desired by the average re ider. It is
looked upon as a welcome visitor by
every family who reads it, while thous
an 4 s regard it as indispensable and
would no no account, go without it.
An enormous circulation of 125,000
copies per week attests itn wonderful
popularity. Recognizihg the fact that
there are those whe are unfamiliar
with its surpassing merits as a home
paper, the publishers ofier to send
The Free Press to them for the ba¬
lance of this year (over five months)
for only 30 cents—a club of four for
$1.00 or a club of ten for $2.00. All
onr readers should subscribe at once.
