j The Populists and the Tariff.
/ With the Income Tax as a part of
/ it, the Bill just agreed on in Con-
V jurf- is (adopting the mournful
phrase of Hon. 11. G. Turner) “better
V than nothing.” When the glad huz-
1892 were making the “welkin
nog” and making the democratic
rooster erow his comb off, it would
have put a man’s life in danger to
have suggested that in less than two
years the grand anthem of Tariff
lieiu in would have died away into
n pitiful plea of “it is better than
z nothing.”
Never was a Samson so sheared.
Never was a warrior so disarmed.
Never was a king so dethroned.
Two yearn ago he ruled from sea
t> sea and he stretched his sceptre
over the future with unlimited brag
and bluster.
Now the royal house is rudely
shaken. Kebellious factions vex the
realm.
The purple robe is splashed with
the mud of soundt). The hopes of
corqiieals i.awAilwiLj
Tue whole tottering fabric of do
minion rests upon a slinky schedule
of uncertain -‘percents” of this, and
“j,er cents” of that; and the honest
democi atio loader, remembering the
rosy hue of the promises and real
iz ng the shady color of tho perform
atives, assumes tho countenance of
humility and resignation aud voices
bis estimate of tho chaotic situation
by tho tearful dirge “It is better than
nothing.”
So it is and that’s till it is.
Evon that much is duo solely to
Populist help. Without tho vote of
Senator Stewart, Populist, the whole
Tariff fight would have been lost
ten days ago. His vote savod tho
Bill when Vilas made his motion iu
the Senate to change tho Sugar
Schedule.
There has never been a time dur
ing all the contest in tho Senate
when tho Populist Senators could
not have killed the bill. Their votes
saved it—-not because it is a satisfac
tory measure, or such an one as the
democrats promised, but simply be
cause “it is better than nothing.”
i.ei it be forever remembered to
his credit that Jute bagging was put
on the free list upon motion of tho
despised Peffer. Under the McKin
ley Bill the farmers of the South
w<*io taxed 32 per eent upon the
covering they were obliged to use on
heir cotton. The democrats pro
pc<, Jto > :l , s a bill which retained a
part of Bus tax. It was the Wes
tern Senator who o9mo to tho relief
of the Southern farmer and whoso
motion put cotton bagging where it
will be no longer taxed.
A Humiliation to Georgia.
Captain Howell, Senators Gordon
and Walsh and Collier went be- i
tore he conferees and gave a written j
guarantee that the exposition com- I
patty would provide free from ail ex- )
pease space m the building of not .
les than 25,tlVt> square feet fora
colored exhibit.
We clip the above from the Atlanta
CotUtitution of August 15,

Captain Howell, Mr. Collier, Mr.

, other prominent citizens of Atlanta,
some of them democrats and some
of them republicans, go as spokes
men for the white people, Bi-hop
Gaines of Georgia, Bishop Grant of
Texas, and Prof. Washington of Al
abama, go as spokesmen of the col
ored people.
These two colored bishops and the
colored professor made speeches be
fore the committee, and it is said that
their efforts in behalf of the appro
priation for the Exposition were ex
ceedingly effective. In fact, it is
conceded that without the aid of
thegd colored delegates the appro-
P r *|gß would not have been se
It seems that one of the reasons
which weighed most with Northern
and Eastern members of the commit
tee in bringing them to the support
of the Exposition Bill, was the prom
ise that the colored people were to
be handsomely treated by the Expo
sition management. Twenty-five
thousand square feet of space was to
be reserved for the colored people
for the purposes of their special ex
hibit.
Promises to this effect were made
by the white delegates aud by the
Georgia Senators; but tho commit
tee, by demanding that tho agree
ment be put in writing, publish to
the whole world the fact that the
public pledges of the Senators of
Georgia are worthless unless put in
writing.
Is not this a reflection upon those
gentlemen and upon the State they
represent ?
Why is it that a Congressional
committee composed partly of North
ern and Eastern Democrats refuses
to believe a Southern Democrat,
when he makes a promise in favor
of the negro race ?
Why is it that such a promise
given by Captain Howell, General
Gordou and Mr. Walsh, is considered
worthless unless , put iu bluuk..and
white?
Wo would be pleased to have
some of our rock-ribbed brethren re
ply to these questions.
Populist Party a Necessity.
“There is no room in the south for
a third party; there is no excuse for
its existence, since everything that is
good in their platform is borrowed
from democracy.”
This deleetable piece of informa
tion was launched by the Griffin Sun,
and piloted into tho haven by the
Times-Recorder, where it was safely
moored beside the other craft of
democratic fallacy and presumption.
“Everything good in their (the
populist) platform is borrowed from
democracy? Correct! brothers. The
whole populist platform is the creed
of Jefferson, the father of democracy.
The populist platform is democracy
in its old time purity.
But it differs widely from the mod.
ern spurious article which sails under
its name while actively operating
against its principles. How prepos.
torous to claim, as the two dear
democratic authorities above quoted
evidently intend, that populism has
borrowed “everything good” from
the platform of modern democracy.
Let us see. The only legislation
enacted during the 53d Congress
which bears the stamp of democracy
is the income tax bill. Was that
borrowed from the democratic plat
form? Not much. No such demand
ia to be found in tho Chicago plat,
form.
The measure forms one of the
planks of the populist platform and
l s to be found in their platform
alone. It was not a measure bor
rowed by the populists from demon,
racy, but was accepted by reluctant
democracy from the populists.
This is one of the things not bor
rowed by the populists from “de
mocracy" w hich is good. There ar®
other things equally as good. There
is the demand for the free and un
limited coinage of silver at the old
ratio of 10 to 1. This the populists
have not borrowed from “democ
racy,” but it is a Jeffersonian plank
which “democracy” has rejected at
the bidding of the goldbugs.
Thus we might enumerate each of
our planks. They are all good. Not
one of them is borrowed from “de
mocracy."
The democrat* having confessed

■ clita bing upon st, shows that there m
need for a third party iu the South?
Without that demand for an income
tax which was only incorporated in
’ the )x>puiist platform, that measure
would not have been enacted into
Jaw. Is it not reasonable to conclude
that no other reform will lie sueeesa
fully pu»li<-d through Congress only
•u the same way ? Then there i»
Deed of a third party iu the Routh,
which stands upon a platform not
borrowed from modern democracy,
but advocates Jeffersonian principles
of a government of the people, by
the people and for the people.
Here’s Hie Record.
The Populist speakers iu Georgia
have alleged that Grover Cleveland
was in favor of mixing the races in
the public schools.
Some democrats have denied it
and hundreds of honest Georofii
democrats have doubted it. /
We here produce the proofßhat
Grover Cleveland, as Governot* of
New York, in 1884, signed! Bp
proved aud gave the breath of IhwW>
an act mixing white and cololed
children in the public schools of N\w
York.
It can be found in the state’s/ li
brary, at the Capitol, Laws ofxUie
State of New York, chapter 24\
page 307, passed May 5, 1884. ;
Section 1. The colored schools irr
the city of New York, now existing
and in operation, shall hereafter Ke
classed and known as ward schcS’ls
and primaries, w'llh their respeetvye
teachers, unless such teachers shall
be removed in manner provided by
law, and oflicers in the respective
wards in which they are located in
the same manner aud to the same
extent as other ward schools, and
shall lie open for the education of
pupils for whom admission is sought
without regard to race or color.
The Graphic and Democracy.
Ono of the brightest and most
readable of our democratic exchan
ges is the LaGrange Graphic. Its
nows columns are newsy, its misoeL
laneous reading is entertaining, it)
editorials are carefully written and
amusingly democratic. The Grapbjd
objects to our exposition of denio
cratic unity, and sums up its 01/jac
tion under three heads. \
Ist. The Graphic claims that tS
Atlanta Journal is not the “interpre
ter of democratic doctrine.” Poor
little Graphic! The Atlanta Jour,
nal is the organ of Clevelandism in
Georgia, and the Georgia deiitocrats
are oqly Clevelaud’i) puppets
worked by wire from the white
house, through the Journal, as every
body can see except, perhaps,jjte
pupputs themselves.
2d. The Graphic claims that tlje
ratio of 16 to 1 is democratic doc
trine. Poor, deluded Graphic/ If
16 to 1 is democratic doctrinL ac
ceptable to the high-priest of mbdern
democracy Cleveland, then whi was
it not demanded in the democratic
platform ?
3d. The Graphic claims that the
Georgia democratic silver plank is
“clear cut and straight to the point.”
Just as the Journal, Telegraph ami
other democratic papers have it,
against silver; or as the Constitutioa
Chronicle and their side see it, for
silver ? They all claim it is clean
cut and straight to the point, buy
the points are opposite extremities.
The dear Graphic further exhibits
its zeal for democracy, and incident
ally its ignorance, in classing Bellamy
as “the great apostle of populism.’’
Read up, brother, or yon will make
yourself ridiculous by the absurdity
of your statements.
Cleveland Did It.
We find that there are democrats
in and around Carrollton who deny
with the greatest indignation that
this administration has issued any
bonds. They say it is a tale that
the populists have made up and told
on Cleveland and Carlisle; they
would not do such a thing as to issue
bonds in time of peace and without
authority of law, and if they did do
it, it is right.—Carrollton Populist.
Who has not met this class of
democrats ? Good, honest men, who
were rocked in democratic cradles,
who supported that party when it
was a democratic party, and who
still hope against hope that its lead
ers will redeem the party pledges
and demonstrate that it deserves the
confidence the people have bestowed
upon it.
These men have confidence in Mr
Cleveland. They cannot believe that
he would issae $50,000,000 of inter
est bearing bonds, contrary to law.
They are loth to accept it as a fact
that their trusted idol would saddle
a burden upon them and weigh down
their children with debt to the third
and fourth generation simply to sat
isfy the demand of the greedy gold
bugs.
Yet it is true.
Neither can those trusting, honest
democrats believe that Mr. Clove-
I laud m forcing while an I black chil
i dr< ii to attend U.o name achoi'la, and
' receive instruction from the same
‘ teacher. That he uctitely favonx
the mixing of the two races and
would compel the white child to be
I taught by a colored teacher, or the
; colored child by a white teacher, a
, syetem which is inimical to the best
interests of l/Oth races. l ;
Yet be did it.
It ha» been positively disputed by I
■ some, ami doubtiugly received by j
others, with the benefit of the doubt j
I given by confiding democrats to Mr- I
Cleveland.
Yet it is true.
In another column we give the I
i bill which Mr. Cleveland signed and
the still doubting democrats can find
the proof in the state library at the
capitol.
Because Mr. Cleveland did it is it
Fight? r
This is Democratic.
The senate tariff bill which has
just been accepted by the house and
which is now a law except for the
signature of the nresident is a com
plete failure so far as “tariff reform”
us concerned.
jA'he treasury estimate for the fis
cal year 1895, aggregated revenues
of $454,000,000 from these sources:
Customs, $190,000,000
Internal Revenue, 160,000,000
Miscellaneous, 20,000,000
Postal Service, 84,000,000
Total, 8454,000,000
The estimate for revenue under''
the niw bill, which will soon become
a law, exceeds the estimate of reve
nues under the.old law, a large part
of which would have beeffigMjised
under the bated McKinley'flN; It
is as follows:
Customs, $179,000,000
Internal Revenue, 213,090,000
Miscellaneous, 20,000,000
Postal Service, 84,000,000
Total, $496,000,000
Thus it will bo seen that the total
amount of revenue which would
have been raided in 1895 under laws
made prior to tho meeting of this
congress, would have been §454,-
000,000.
The amount which will be raised
jjnder the new law is $496,000,000.
The retrenchment boot is on the
Other foot, and the party which
promised so much to the people,have
passed laws will exact from the tax
payers of the country §42,000,000
,p«r annum more thapi been col
lected under republican rule.
The figures quoted above are taken
from tbe democratic press, and hence
we naturally conclude that they are 1
not made out with unfairness to that
party.
An examination of the effects of
this now bill will be interesting.
The democratic party went into
power under the pledge of tariff re
form, and every democratic speaker,
and newspaper throughout the counj
try assured tho people that laws
would be made which would bring
about a radical reduction.
Let’s see what the democratic
party has done in this particular. \
Under the old law, the duties on
imported goods amounted to $190,-
000,000. Under the new law, the
custom duties will amount to $179,.
4)00,000.
Thus it will be seen that the total
amount of duties which will be col
lected under democratic laxv is only
§11,000,000 less than that which
would have been collected under the
McKinley bill. A very short calcu
lation will show that this is a reduc
tion of only five aud three-fourths
per cent.
Then we are to understand that
five and three-fourths per cent, is
the great reduction which the demo
cratic party promised the people.
That is the great “tariff reform’’
about which the people have heard
so much from democratic speakers
and read so much from democratic
editors.
The democratic party has spent
about one year attempting to legis
late in the interests of the people—
and what have they done"?
Decreased the tariff $11,000,000
and increased the internal revenue
$53,000,000.
It is an admitted fact that the
consumer pays the import duty.
This is probably a little less direct
tax than the internal revenue.
The consumers and tax payers of ;
the country have been saved nothing '
by democratic tariff reform, but on
tiie contrary now have their annual
tax bill increased to the slight extent
of $42,000,000.
It is simply a case of changing the
shoe from one foot to the other for '
better wear.
The tariff burden has been slightly
lightened but the weight on the in
ternal revenue side has been greatly ;
increased. In either case the people 1
jlv the tax.
/ Ths custom bouse oft.eerx collect a
little less, while the internal revenue
.officer*collect quite a good deal more.
’mist’s the only difference.
Where the benefit comes in we
ary unable to nee.
Tho democratic party has yielded
in a elight degree, to the popular de
mand for “tariff reform,” but the tax
‘Upon the people has been increased.
They have simply shifted the
burden from one side of the camel’s
back to the other, and increased ij
while shifting.
A Parallel Case.
While it js true that we have not
been able to obtain the revenue tariff
pledged by the Chicago platform, we
have at least taken a long step in the
direction of reform, and we have left
some of the objectionable features of
McKinleyism behind us.—Constitu
tion.
l It does not fulfill democratic
pledges, and it is tainted with the
Adious sale to the Sugar Trust.—
New York World.
{Another democratic pledge has
been broken. The party in power
has passe/Tlk tariff bill which even
democratic apologists confess does
not fulfill the foledges of the Chicago
platform. The mass of the honest
democratic voters are indignant at
the perfidy and duplicity of their
party, and to quell their indignation
the leaders are making promises of
supplemental legislation—just as they
did when they broke their party’s
pledges in the repeal of the pur
chasing clause of the silver bill.
The democratic party, by its na
tional platform, was pledged to the
Lrepeal of the Sherman law and
the free coinage of silver; so it was
Ito the repeal of the McKinley bill
and the adjustment of the tariff on a
.revenue basis. Congress wrangled
\long time over the former bill, and
it wrestled a long time with the lat
ter billv During the consideration of
each hfll the president used undue
infiumice to conform action to his
desires. In the former only the pur.
chasing clause was repealed aud the
objectionable features retained. In
the latter some slight reductions
were made and the objectionable
features retained. The action on
the Sherman bill granted greater
privileges to the money power; the
action on the McKinley bill did the
same for the trusts. The action on
both bills was a great disappointment
to honest democrats who had faith
-in their pnrW mid really expected it
would try to redeem its pledges.
ffia the Sherman bill the democrats
confessed they had fallen short o'-
'their promise, but what they had
donhv was merely preliminary and
would be followed by additional leg
islaybn in conformity with their plat_
form pledges. On the tariff bilp
they are promising the same. After
the money power was allowed to
dictate the action on the silver bill
the seigniorage bill was introduced
and defeated. After the trusts dic
tated the action on the tariff bill
single shot tariff bills were intro
duced and, to complete the parallel,
jvil! be defeated.
I Who doubts that the parallel will
be pemplcted ?
7 Organized Labor in New York.
XLabor in politics.
yFor the first time in its history the
luvncau Federation of Labor has
decided to put to the vote of the in
dividual unions the question of tak-
Jig independent political action.
I The state branch of the organiza
tion come out with a circular
the trade and labor
Osgrtliizations of New York state in
reference to the subject. Among
other things the circular says:
“Never in the history of this na
tion has labor been confronted as
now with issues which, if not met
with united action, must make work
ing people fall a pitiless sacrifice to
the combinations of the comparative
few who possess the great wealth of
the country.
“The recent great labor disturb
ances of the West are an indication
that the time is ripe for all labor's
forces to close its ranks and prepare
to wield every power at its command,
both political and economic.
“The annual convention of the
New York State Branch of the
American Federation of Labor, at its
convention, held in Albany in January
of this year, decided to submit to all
the trade and labor organizations of
the state the question of the advisa
bility of trade unions nominating
i candidates from the ranks of labor
I for the legislature.
“Should a two-third vote of all
unions voting so decide, then the
secretary of the New York State
Branch will notify all the unions of
the state to carry out said recom
mendations to the best of their ability.
“This shall not debar organized
labor in sections of the state frem
securing the indorsement of their
candidates from any pol tieal party
where this is thought advisable. The
result of the vote must be returned
within four weeks after the receipt
of this circular."—New York Moru

DVR KTATK PLATFORM.
the People’s party of the State
oßGeorgi*, believe in the principlet
of Bovcrnment promulgated and ex
ponded by Thoma* Jcffercon, and
we/believe our resolute adherence to
tbeLinnciples laid down by tbe great
Sounvera Statesman, who at the be- ’
ginning of our political history com
batted the schemes of the eastern !
money power (as outlined by Alex- i
auder Hamilton) and who predicted .
the ruin which would fall upon this
country when concentrated weath
should dictate its legislation.
We believe, as Jefferson did, that
all men are created equal, with a
natural right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, and that every
government which ignores this truth
is fundamentally wrong and oppres
sive. We believe, as he did, in equal
aud exact justice to all men ; in the
subordination of the military to the
civil authorities;in the diffusion of
knowedge; in the honest payment of
all debtsand the sacred preservation
of the public faith-; in the freedom
of religion, freedom of speech, free
dom of the nress and the freedom of
person; in the arraignment of. all of
abuse's at the bar of public opinion;
in the encouragement of agriculture
and of commerce; in the preserva
tion of the reserved rights of the
States as the surest bulwark against
anti-Republican tendency. We op
pose, as he did, the creation oi a
costly standing army and navy and
an extravagant and useless diplo
matic service.
We oppose, as he did, the perpet
uation of the public debt and the
policy of issuing non-taxable interest
bearing bonds, whereby a large por
tion of the concentrated wealth of
the land reaps a harvest from the
taxes of the unprivileged.
We oppose, as he did, the na
tional banks as being of deadly hos
tility to the spirit of our republican
institutions. We are amazed that
the business men of our country are
so willing to bSar the yoke of a sys
tem which gives government money
to 4,000 national banks at on the
hundred, while the millions of mer
chants, manufactures, farmers aud
producers generally must pay those
bankers from $8 to S2O on the hun
dred. We oppose, as Jefferson did,
the extravagant expenditure of the
public money, and we declare that
at no time in our history have the
peor been so heavily taxed or their
taxes more shamefully wasted.
We believe, as he did, in the frfle
and unlimited coinage of silver and
the issue of treasury notes to increase
the volume of currency when {the
necessities of business demand more
money. Like him, we believe in a
progressive income tax to discourage
the extensive concentration ofWalth
and to compel our selfish millionaires
to contribute to support of die gov
ernment, which protects them? Like
him, we believe that the life |cf this
republic depends upon the purity of
elections and in obedience to the will
of the majority. These are the prin
ciples of Jefferson, who called himself
a Republican in the days when that
name had not become odious. These
are the principles of Jackson, who
called himself a Democrat in the days
when that name had not yet been
worn by those who disgraced it.
To these principles we have al
ways adhered, and do now adhere,
as we believe they are absolutely
essential if we are ever to hope for
good government again. We know
of nothing which more clearly proves
the general demoralization of politics
than the fact that votes are now con
trolled and offices filled by men who
apenly, defiantly and constantly vio
late every principle of old-time
Democracy and repudiate every truth
which our forefathers taught us were
necessary to the liberty and prosper
ity of our people.
We hereby renew our unqualified
endorsement of the national platform
of the People’s party, and we favor
in the State of Georgia the following
reform:
1. The abolition of the present
convict lease system which prosti
tutes to the greed of private avarice
the State’s sovereign right to punish
her-citizens for violation of law. We
believe the State herself should keep
possession of her prisoners and should
employ them upon the public roads
and not allow them brought in com
petition with honest free labor.
2. We favor the furnishing of
primary school books by the State to
avoid the burdens put upon our peo
ple by the frequent changes of text
books. We also favor the payment
of the teachers monthly.
3. We favor the enactment of an
unperverted Australian ballot law to
be so framed as to allow illiterate or
blind voters to receive aid in the
preparation of their ballots, when
they so desire, from the managers of
election.
4. We emphatically condemn the
practice, of late becoming so preva
lent, of public officers accepting free
passes from railroad corporations.
We intend this condemnation to ap
ply to the executive, legislative and
judicial branches of our national and
state government.
5. Believing, as we do, that these
eternal principles are necessary to
good government and to the preser
vation of our republican mstiiuuons;
and, believing that a supreme neces
sity now exists for a determined and
organized straggle against the cor
rupt despotism of centralized wealth,
