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.

Captain Howell, Mr. Collier, Mr. : Spalding, Ex-Gov. Bullock and many , 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 that one of our planks i* good by- THE DAILY PRESS, A TLA.VI A, GEORGIA, THUKSISv EVENING, Al GUST 16, 1894 ■ 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 ' iug Journal. 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, we hereby pledge ourselvea anew to this sacred task, and we invite the earnest co-operation of .ill goed etti xeuß, irrespective of party; and upon bend §2 for the t’aicaa tour moutiu. these united eff arte in behalf of Wi cause of constitution:!!' lil>erty M reverently invoke tbe blessings oB Almighty God.

Resolved, That we, the People's party of Georgia, in solemn convra ; non assembled, do hereby unequßo 1 cally denounce the party at present | in control of our national affairs, fo|4 I that in addition to the impotent audY , imbecile policy which has been pur-A sued during the session congress concerning every qnesnonj which has been before that body consideration and disposition, they have passed such laws on the onp hand and failed to pass such laws on the other hand as have accomplished the crowning outrage of the century; in the final completion of the of 1873, wllereby silver has falleij from its high estate as a money meta and is now hawked about the mar kets of the world as a mere cons modity. Resolved, That we arraign th present administration for increa«iig the public debt by the issuing of <5«,- 000,000 geld bonds in a time of p‘o found peace without authority, ind for refusing to use the miilio&s of silver stored in the vaults of the treasury to meet the pressing needs of the government. - Resolved, That we condemn the policy of the present administration for continuing the policy of the Har rison administration in redeeming the coin certificates in gold and iu viola tion of the express terms of the law, which provides for the coinage of a sufficient amount of the silver pur chased under the Sherman law for their redemption. Resolved, That we favor law and order, and condemn the evil practice now unfortunately too common of lawless persons taking the law in their own hands, familiarly known as white capping. Resolved, That we favor the elec tion of all officers, national and State, by a direct vote of the people, and that they be paid salaries and that the fee system be abolished.
