- s The Election. *
V
Reliable election returns are slowly
coming in. The extravagant claims
of the democrats last night are to
tally unfounded. The democrats
have suffered a Waterloo, and the
estimate made by Acting Chairman
Cunningham are proven to be accu
rate. Fearful frauds have been
practiced by the democrats in many
counties, but in spite of all this the
populists made tremendous gains on
the election of 1892.
These gains are not made in any
particular section of the state, but
they' are made in almost every
county.
Constituencies which in ’92 re
turned democratic representatives by
large majorities, have swung into
the populist column by heavy ma
jorities. In many counties the dem
ocrats have suffered a loss of 1,000
and over. Atkinson’s own county
was barely saved to him.
The result in many counties is so
close that it will take the oflicial
vote to ■ determine it. Enough is
known, however, to assure the pop
ulists of a heavy representation in
the legislature, if not an actual mjaor
ity.
Hard Up.
The democrats take the cake when
it comes to drumming up a crowd
for the governor and a United States
senator to speak to, as the following
will show:
“Grand barbecue at Thomaston
Evp/vr
body cordiallFinvited to attend, es
pecially ladies. Provisions will be
made for the colored people. Gov.
W. J. Northen and Senator John B.
Gordon will be here and address the
people. Foot races, bicycle races,
bay races, a match game of ball and
other amusements free to every
body."—Thomaston Sun.
“The Men Who Control.”
Law and order has been defied’
and the reckless efforts of the “men
who control,” in their determination
to deft a*, the will of the people in
Cobb county reached their culmin
ating point when the notorious Judge
Gober refused to apply the machinery
of the law and assist the good citi
zens of the county to secure an hon
est election, as they had expressed
their desire to have at a non-parti
san mass-meeting of her representa
tive citizens. The Journal has this
editorial comment on Judge Gober’s
action:
Judge Gober made a serious mistake
yesterday when he refused to hear and
decide at once the mandamus suit of
Mr. Joirti Sibley against the ordinary
of Cobb county to compel said ordinary
to allow the plaintiff to inspect the re
gistration lists of the county and ob
tain a copy of them.
This action of Judge Gober was par
ticularly unfortunate in view of the
fact that a large mass meeting of citi
zens of Cobb county, both democrats
and populists, recently adopted resolu
tions expressing in strong terms their
desire for a fair and honest election.
These resolutions were commended by
the press of the state and express the
Conviction of every honest man, what-
CVU his politics may be.
palpably unfair to deny Mr.
i Kley the right to inspect the regis-
lists and to copy them if he so
aWred.
The action of the ordinary cannot be
justified and Judge Gober did wrong
when he refused to issue a mandamus
compelling him to grant Mr. Sibley's
petition. We are confident that the
democrats of the state do not approve
any such proceeding.
ft looks decidedly bad andjwill cast
suspicion on the result of today’s elec
tion in Cobb. Judge Gober’s postpone
ment of a hearing of the case until
after both the state and federal elec
tions deserves the unqualified censure
of all fair-minded men. Jt was aa un
fortunate decision and we hope that
we shall never see another like it in
Georgia.
DeliveraHce Will Come.
The election returns indicate that
at last the people of Georgia hate
Wen to retake the party of false
promises. Democracy has been re
pudiated by the Empire State of the
South, and Georgia retains her posi
tion as the leader of progress and
enterprise in this section of the
Union. The grand victory of yes
terday will be followed by a still
greater one in the national election
next month.
The Constitution, in commenting
on and trying to explain the demo-
cratic Waterloo, has this to say:
I The detnocAftic majority is not as
I large as it «ac two years ago, but this
is due to the confusion that was
wrought in tycampSgn by the gokl-
I bug I>u*h'■dickers who have been
»OM>g attacking the state and
j nutlou.l Jfktform. attacking the detno-
j|F>cy. and attacking the posi
tion by the d-rnocratie candi
date if governor. Thus bushwhack
ing—ftexpected, uncalled for ;m<i
tipprevedmted undoubtedly caused
mgui.? democrats to vote the populist
lie .et and cooled the enthusiasm of
a great many more to trie extent of
causing them to remain away from the
; polls.
There is no doubt that to the cam
paign of “the goldbug bushwhack
ers” is due the great revolt of the
people. They have given the party
the chance they begged for and
abused after it was given them. The
people realize that the democratic
party is controlled by the goldbugs,
that it is responsible for the falling
price of cotton and the advancing
price of sugar, and that no relief
from present conditions can be ex
pected as long as the democratic
party remains in control of the gov
ernment. But many voters believed
that these questions can be settled
only by national legislation, and that
the state government was not respon
sible for it and could not in any wise
remedy it. Consequently they still
voted for the old party in the state
election while fully determined to
assist in redeeming the national gov
ernment from the hands of “the
goldbug bushwhackers.”
They will vote the people’s party
ticket next month.
The deliverance of the people
from the throttling grasp of shylock
is near at hand.
The Financial Question vs. the Tariff.
For generations the politicians of
this country have agreed in almost
every campaign that the tariff should
be the issue. They have always
found it a convenient bone of con
tention over which the masses would
easily divide. It is a question that
is very complex to the average voter.
It is a splendid issue upon which to
appeal to sectionalism and arouse
party spirit. The leaders of the
democratic and republican parties
have mutually agreed for so long
that the tariff was the great issue in
American politics that the average
voter in these parties, without se
riously considering the matter and
without any study or investigation
upon his part, has settled down to
the idea that the tariff is really the
issue. The politicians have one-half
the people attributing all their griev-
too high and the other half to the
fact that the tariff is too low.
The democratic campaign com
mittee has just gotten out a cam
paign book of 246 pages in which it
devotes twelve lines or one hundred
and eighty words to the silver ques
tion. If we are to judge from what
is here said on the subject, as to the
policy of the democratic party, we
are at a loss to understand how any
honest free coinage man can have
the faintest hope of ever getting free
coinage through the democratic
party. On the entire financial ques
tion this compaign book contains five
pages, while it devotes one hundred
and eleven pages to the tariff. So it
is very plain that the democrats are
going to do everything possible to
force the tariff to the front and try
to ignore the financial question al
together. The republicans are at
work on the same lino and
are delighted that they can fight over
the same old ground.
There are a great many honest
democrats and republicans who can
didly believe that the tariff is the
great issue. For the benefit of all
such we have undertaken in this ar
ticle to prove the great overshadow
ing question in American politics to
day is the financial question, and
that the tariff is secondary in every
particular.
The following table shows the
amount of tariff paid by the aver
age farmer on the necessaries of life
which he buys each year.
It shows the amount he would pay
under the tariff law of 1861, the
McKinley law, and the present demo
cratic law:

We find by examining the abu»e
figures that the democrats are now
camping on the same ground that the
i republicans occupied thirty j ears
ago, there being only 32 cents differ
ence to ihe farmer under the Repub
lican law of 1861, and the democratic
law of 1894. The difference to the
farmer between the McKinley and
i present democratic law is £4.81 on
’ his yearly purchase, therefore, it
must be this $4.81 thajt all this tariff
racket is about. v v
From this table we can sei exactly
the relation in which the Vanner
stands to both the old parties sKfar
as the tariff is concerned. As Vie

! farmer between the democratic anX
i republican party on the tariff ones-
THE DAILY PRESS: ATLANTA. GEORGIA: THURSDAY EVENING: OCTOBER 4, 1894.
——^-^—l I - . -
tion when measured in dollars . and
, cents, is ♦4.81. Then the issue
, when narrowed down whether the
farmers will pay £21.12 tariff more
t or less annually.
i; When one has studied the money
• | question, and sees how this same
I iarnter is robbed an<l plun leredeach
. year by the money power of the
i world, the tariff question at once
I dwindles into utter insignificance.
L t us now examine into the naked
’ facts and gee how the farmer has
been effected by the vicious financial
legislation and robbed of Bis birth
right while the politicians have been
crying tariff! tiriff! “in order to
drown the cries of a plundered
people.”
• Let us take as the average crop of
I the cotton fanner ten bales weighing
j 500 pounds each, a total of 5,000
, pounds We iind that the price of
I cotton in 1872, the year before sliver
was demonetized, wai worth from 18
to 25 cents per pound, the average
price being about 20 cents. The
ten bales of cotton at that time, at
20 cents per pound, would net the
farmer SI,OOO. The same ten bales
of cotton now at the present price
of 6 cents per pound would net him
£3OO. We find from these figures
that somehow or somehow e'ee the
cotton farmer has been robbed of
8700 on his year’s production of cot
ton. The crop that he produced in
1872 cost no more labor than the
crop he produced in 1894. Then
why is this difference of 8700?
Let us see now how it is with the
wheat raker. Take 1,000 bushels
of wheat as the average crop. In
1872, the year before silver was
demonetized, wheat was worth from
81.65 to 82.10 per bushel.
The 1,000 bushels at 81.75 in 1892
would have netted the farmer 81750.
Today the price of it is fifty cents per
bushel, and the 1,000 bushels brings
the farmer 8500. Ila gets 81250
less for his weeat crop in 1894 than
he did in 1872. Why is this? What
is it that robs the farmer of this
81250? Is it the tariff?
From the above facts we see that
the cotton farmer paid 838.07 tariff
in 1872, and received SI,OOO for his
cotton crop, now in the year 1894
he pays 837.75, just 32 cents less
than in 1872, and receives S3OO for
his crop, a loss of 8700.
The wheat farmer paying the
amount of tariff as above, received
81750 for his crop in 1872, now he
received 8500, a loss of 81250.
In other words these farmers have
been fighting over that $4.81 tariff,
the difference to them between the
democrats ami republicans on that
question, while the money power
has stealthily stepped in and robbed
the cotton raiser of S7OO and the
wheat raiser of $1,250. To the cot
ton juemey qticfit is as
issue of S7OO is above $4.81; and
to the wheat raiser as $1,250 is
above $4.81.
When the farmers of this country
study the financial question, and re
alize how they have been robbed by
the demonetization of silver and the
destruction of the greenbacks, there
will be but one issue, and that will
be the money question.
Democratic Hypocrisy Shown Up.
In the Congressional Record of j
June 23, 1894, is to be found a
speech which claims to have been (
delivered by Joseph Wheeler, a so- (
called democrat, who pretends to ,
represent the eighth Alabama dis- ]
trict. The said speech, by the priv- ]
ilege granted by the house, was ]
printed in the Record without being j
delivered at all. In this undelivered (
speech he undertakes to review the ,
record of our populist congressmen
in the most partial and partisan man- ,
ner. He left nothing undone to rid- .
icule every act and wilfully distort ,
every fact connected with the popu- ,
lists’ record. He gathers together
bills introduced by populists in the
fifty-second and fifty-tb/cd con- ,
gresses, regardless of whether they
were by request or not, aud after
wilfully or ignorantly perverting the
facts, figures that these bills, when
all added together, would cull for
appropriating $35,000,000,000, which
he claims would have to be taxed
from the people. If Mr. Wheeler
had been capable, and had taken the
pains to inform himself, he would
liave found that these bills intro
duced by populists did not call for a
single dollar of taxation, but, on the
other hand, proposed a plan for re
lieving the people of the burdens of
taxation that have been heaped upon
them by democrats aud republicans
for the last thirty years.
The populist platform demands
that o.ur circulating medium shall be i
increased to SSO per capita. The i
bills introduced by populists were
intended to accomplish this object
by the free coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to 1, and the issue
of legal tender greenbacks. The
oassage of one or two of these bills
would have accomplished this, and
at once done away with the necessity
for the passage of the other bills.
Mr. Wheeler well knows, if he!
knows anything, that the populist;
party has never advocated or de
manded that our currency should be
increased to more than SSO per
capita. The secretary of the treas
ury claims that we now have about
$25 per capita in circulation. The
populists demand that th’s amount
shall be increased to SSO per capita
(about the amount wc had in circu
lation in 1866), which would require
that s Ivor be coined and legal-tendtr
greenbacks be issued to the amount
of $1,750,000,000. The bills intro
duced by populist congressmen, re
ferred to by Mr. Wheeler, only con
templated the issue of the above
amount instead of the $35,000,000,-
LOOO, as conceived only by the shriv-
; eled brain «f Mr. Wheeler. These
; eld messbaek politicians realize the
fact that thty are totally unable to
depend on their own treacherous
records, affi] meet the ponulists in
the discussion of the living issues of
the day, hence they are circulating
this imaginary and foolish twaddle,
called a speech by Joseph Wheeler,
of Alabama.
Lately quite a number of people
have wntten us, asking us to send
them the lulls introduced by our
populist congressmen. Endeavor
ing to comply with th's request, we
applied to the clerk of the House
1 document-joom at the capitol, and
| he informs ui that the files had been
i exhausted. They have been taken
out by the democratic and Republi
can congressmen to use on the stump
1 in ridiculing and slandeiing our party
:in their usual way.' Fai ing to find
| any populist bills on file, I concluded
to investigate the files of the bills in
troduced by the two old parlies, and
behold I found something rich. The
835,000,009,000 wb ch Mr. Wheeler
claims for the populist bills is not in
it at all. It is not a drop in the
bucket }when compared with lha
amount proposed to be appropriated
by the thousands of bills introduced
by democrats and republicans.
During the fifty-second and fifty
third congresses the democrats and
republicans introduced something
over 26,000 bills. The record shows
that more than halt of these bills
called for appropriations. Without
knowing wtat amount any particular
bill called for, we selected the num
bers of eight bills now on the calen
der, had then procured these bills
from ’the’ document rooms of the
house and senate. This was impar
tially dorid'to ascertain the average
appropriation called for by the 13,-
000 or more bills introduced by
democrats and republicans, calling
for appropriations. The following ,
figures show the average :
11. It. No. 2167. A bill by
Stone of Kentucky (Dem.) $ 1,936
H. R. No. 722. A bill by En-
loe ot Tennessee (Detn.) 13.378
H. R. No. j 1309. A bill by
Pendleton of Texas (Dem.) 4,780
H. R. 7784. A bill by Hooker

11. R. 397. A bill by McGann
of Illinois (Dem.) . . 4,000,000

of Texas (Dein.) . . 60,000
H. R. 1172. A bill by Stall-
ings <jf Alabama (Dem.) . 50,000
H. R. 4728. A bill by Hicks
of Pennsylvania (Bep. j . 100,000
Total called for by eight bills 4,210,536
Divide this amount by eight and
we have the average to be $526,-
317.3J/'Multiply this amount by
13,000, ths,number of bills intro
duced calliiw for appropriations, and
we have $61542,125,550. Every dol
lar of this Uiormous amount would
have to be faxed from the people to
build publß buildings, clean out
Wi'jjks aJfwiwn., -rrrlTbsvraOiims of
various kinils. We then transferred
our investigations to the senate side
for awhile Ind we found it richer
and richer.! On the 17th day of
April, 18941 we find that that vener
able old (timocratic senator from
Illinois, JJlm M. Palmer, introduced
senate bill’ No. 1917 (see page 3),
which provides as follows :
1. That the government shall loan
to the people, at 2 per cent interest,
three-fourths of the value of all the
real estate.
2. That the government shall loan
to the people, at 2 per cent interest,
on one half the market value of all
the wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley,
hops, rice, cotton, hemp, jute, to
bacco, open kettle sugar, and sugar
house molasses, or the drippings
from sugar, all kinds of nuts, pin
dars. castoi beans, indigo, olive oil,
coffee, and all kinds of dried fruit.
3. That the government shall loan
to the people of incorporated cities,
towns, and villages, at 2 per cent, in
terest, for eowerage and other sani
tary work SIOO per capita fcr their
voting population.
4. That the government shall loan
to the. railroad corporations three
fourths of the value of al their
property atj the rate of 2 per cent, in
terest in order to cheapen railroad
transportation, etc.
5. That the government shall
offer a reward of $25,000 for the
best plan of sewerage and water
supply.
6. That the government shall pur
cbaie all the gold and silver in the
United States each year.
7. That the number of justices'of
tho supreme court of the United
States shall be increased to thir
teen.
8. That the government shall have
all this money printed at the bureau
of engraving and printing at Wash-
l ington, D. C., and that it shall be fiat
; money and a legal tender for all
debts, both public and private.
When the provisions of this bill
are all figured out it shows that the ,
following amounts would have to
be printed and loaned to the peo
ple : '
1. Three-fourths of real
estate (Statistical Ab
stract) - $29,658, 4qS, 249
2, One-half all farm pro
ducts mentioned (Agri-
curtural Report) - - 854,698,475
•3. One hundred dollars
per capita to voters of
townsand cities - - 364,713,400
4. Three-fourths ot value
of all railroad prop
erty 7,701,726,780
5. For sewerage and wa-
ter supply plan (re
ward) 25,00?
6. Gold and silver each
year mined - - - - 106,697,000
7. Four more justices of
the Supreme Court - 40,000
Total $38,685,008,904
This is d pn tty snug sum for one
democratic bill, but hold on: we
find that (Mi the 3d day of Novem
ber, 18931 this same senator, John
■ M. PalnßT, of Illinois, introduced
senate bill! No. 1152, which proposes
tbaV'the government shall auoronri-
ate 864,000,000,000 to deepen the
channel of the Mississippi and other
rivers.
Going a little further we find that
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
introduced the Nicaragua Canal bill
calling for 8100,000,000.
L. F. Livingston, of Georgia, in
troduced 11. IL bill No. 857", calling
for an issue of S4O per capita an
nually, or 828,524,000,000 for ten
years. Mr. Miller, of Wisconsin, on
February 14,1893, introduced house
bill No. 10498, calling for about
828,000,000,000-
Then comes the Pacific railroad
bill, which proposes to reloan these
reals at 2 per cent per annum $120,-
000,000, tte amount now due the
government.
Let us now recapitulate and see
how the two old parties compare
with ,1 he populists when it comes to
introducing bills.
Thirteen thousand bills
introduced bj - the dem- it,.i
ocrats and republicans
during the fifty-second
and fifty-third con
gresses. -8 6,842,125,550

Total, 3101,748,034,454
A great many of these bills intro
duced by the populists were intro
duced by request, but Mr. Wheeler
did not' mention this fact. He also
included the fifty-second and fifty
third congresses. Therefore, in or
der to be placed on equal footing
with the democrats and republicans,
we are compelled to do likewise—
that is, include all bills introduced in
the fifty-second and fifty-third con
gresses; also to make no distinction
between those bills introduced by re
quest and those prepared by demo
crats and republicans themselves.
This is the only way we can be
placed on equal tooting. Some dem
ocrats and republicans will say that
these bills we object to or hold up
for ridicule were introduced by re
quest. Perhaps this is true to some
extent; but they ought to remember
that they did not make any distinc
tion in the bills prepared by populists
and those introduced by request.
In preparing the above statements
we have been as conservative as We
could, and be consistent with the
facts. We have guessed at nothing,
but have relied upon the records of
the government for everything.

Poor Augusta.
The third party cried fraud before
election ilaj'. The child booboos when
punishment m t anil haloaA
it is given. The yelling will bo loudeif
now that the chastisement has been
meted out.
The above clipping is from the
Augusta Herald, a thorough moss
back paper published in that ante
diluvian city. What it says to the
detriment of the “men who control,”
and blight and blast the prospects of
that fair city by their political sodom
ism, may be accepted as literal trutln
for it is the slavish depender of their
unholy methods.
“The child boohoos when punish
ment is threatened and before it is
administered,” but not before it sees
the rod or the slipper gotten out as a
preparatory act. Just so “the third
party cries fraud before election
day,” when the refusal to agree to a
division of election managers, and
the fraudulent registration of igno
rant Negroes by ward heelers in
places like Augusta, gave unerring
evidence that fraud was being con
templated. How it was done in Au
gusta we will give this one sample,
quoted also from the Herald:
Didn’t Know His Name.
“Henry Winn, sah.”
That name was announced at the
court house early this morning by a
negro man. The ballot was about to
be deposited when a manager shouted
that there was no such name on the
registry list
Mr. Edward Collins was on hand at
the polls. “1 know his name. It is
Henry Williams. He is from the fourth
ward, registered and all right.” This
was found to be correct.
This vote was duly received and
registered for democracy, after the
poor perjurer had been christened
by the generalissimo of the heelers
without the formality of baptism.
Now, the Herald admits, the
“chastisement has been meted out,”
that is the fraud which the populists
apprehended, has been perpetrated,
and “the yellicg will be louder.”
Poor Augusta! sliackeled and de
grated by an unscrupulous band of
conspirators; bringing reproach
upon the city and standing a stum
bling block in the way of her pro
gress.
Twenty-five dollars in gold must
be a pretty valuable affair when it
takes 500 pounds of cotton to buy
it. But $25 will pay no more debts
or taxes than it would 25 years ago.
