Gordon claim that the Demo crats are not partly to blame? No wonder he objects to “education.” TUB BOND PURCHASE. A monument of audacity is the Senators defence of the giving away of $60,000,000 to the Bond holders byway of Premium on Bonds not due. He says Cleveland did it to get the money into circula tion. Very well:—but was there no better way? Is it possible that modern statesmanship could suggest no fairer mode of distribution than to give our Tax money to the class which pays no Taxes ? The Senator says that it might have been loaned out to the States or to individuals but there was no Law to that effect. Precisely. But why couldn’t they pass one ? It required the passage of a Law to pay it over to the Bond holders, and the Law was duly enacted. Why could they not just as easily have passed a Law dividing it among the States or lending it to individuals? The answer is easy. They did not want to do so. The Senator defends the lending of our Tax money to the Banks without interest. He says the Law allows the President to lend our Taxes to the Banks. I challenge him to produce the Law. But to proceed—he says Cleveland did it to avoid a “sudden panic” and that in twenty-four hours the “grip of the money power was brokeil, the panic arrested, confidence restored and the people protected.” This quotation shows quite clearly that Senator Gordon does not know wbat he is talking about. What he says applies to a well known instance when the gamblers in New York had overdone the thing; were in a “tight” for money; and asked the Government to come to their aid; and Cleveland did it. What I was discussing was another thing entirely. It was the habit which Cleveland had during his administration of favoring certain Batiks with very heavy deposits of Public Funds, free of charge, and which they loaned at immense profits to the people to whom .the money rightfully belonged. I quote from the Official Report of the Secretary of the Treasury: The amount of public moneys de posited with National Banks on Jan. 1, 1887 was about $20,000,000 Daring 1887, it was increased until in Octocber it was $31,767,478; and in December it was $52,199,917. In April 1888 the amount was $61,921,- 294—the highesfpoiut reached. In the face of this proof from the official record Senator Gordon’s statement of how Cleveland put $10,000,000 in Bank to break the “corner of the money Kings” and that in “twenty-four hours the panic was arrested, the grip of the money power broken,” etc., appears exceed ingly foolish. I quote further from the official Report: It is grossly unjust to the Govern ment to grant the free use of its money, while it pays to the very parties thus favored, 4 and 4J- per cent, interest on its Own Bonds which are pledged as security for the money thus received.” “It is manifestly unfair to the people to give the Banks the use of their money for nothing, while they are required by the Banks to pay from 6 to 8 per cent, interest for it.” This is what the Secretary of the Treasury says. It sounds like mighty good doctrine. But Senator Gordon says it was put there to lower the rates of interest. Condsidering that these National Bankers were the Money Kings who had the market by the throat, does it not seem strange that they were the men to receive favors? Does it not look just a little like hiring the wolves to take care of the sheep ? Taken up one side and down the other, Senator Gordon is about the funniest man I “ever went a-fishing.” After scaring the children again about the Force Bill; after accusing me again of defaming the Democrats who had opposed (hat measure; after dilating on the Free Wool Bill and forgetting to dilate on the Free Silver Bill; after omitting to explain why the Democratic majority was afraid to attack the McKinley Bill, or to report an Income Tax Bill, or to take action on the Bill to abolish National Banks; and after being carefully quiet about the extrava gance of this Congress, which ex ceeds by $500,000 that of the Re publican Congress, and which gave ten and a-half millions to the Cities for free delivery of mail« and refused to give a red cent to the country: — after all these these things, Sena- THE SOUTHERN AIUANCE FAEMEK, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1892 tor Gordon closed his remarkable address by telling the Tenth District who it must elect to Congress. It is b omewhat unusual for a Senator to issue instructions to the voters in this high-handed way, but it can be excused on the ground that John B. Gordon is a very unusual sort of a Senator. Now, to review this controversy briefly. J.le accused me of Falsehood—yet disp roves none of my statements; of attacking him—whejn I simply re plied to his letter; of defaming the Democracy—when I merely turned on the light; of cowardice—when all my aseerti’or.s were plainly made and have been .firmly maintained ; of trying to deceive—when he himself was attempting 'to dupe the people by reading extracts from two different speeches on two different subjects at two different times and neither of them had any reference to the mat ter we are discussing! He did not deal fairly with those people at Gibson. His speech was misleading and deceptive. He wished them to believe that he struggled against the demonetization .of silver. He did not do so: He wished them to believe that he was advocating a plendid plan of general financial re liuf. He was not dding so. I will tell the people in plain black and white what Senator Gordon’s plan was. He proposed that the Government issue three per cent, bonds and receive greenbacks in payment. Then the Treasurer was to take these greenbacks and buy up the six per cent, bonds. That v as the whole scheme; simple, self-ad justable, double-acting,, consume-its own-smoke sort of a concern. If the man who gave his greenbacks for three per cent, bonds got tired of the bonds, he could nay to the Gov ernment, “Look bore, let’s rue back,” and the Government must shell out those greenbacks. If he concluded that, after all, the bonds were what his soul yet.rned for, the Government must hauid them over again. This was Gordon's plan, and it is so much like him that if it were gifted with action aind .speech the first thing you’d expect it to do would be to thump itself on the chest and begin an address with the words, “My Countrymen.” In February, 1874, Senator Gor don (while Sherman’s Banking Bill was under way) offered an amend ment, giving $46,000,000 of ad ditional currency to the National Banks. From his speech on this question he quotes a paragraph to show the people of Glascock county how desperately he was fighting the banks. Why did he not tell them he offered that amendment on the very same day, giving the banks $46,000,000, out of which they would earn additional profits from the people? “It did not suit his purpose.” Let me deal fairly with the Sena tor. - At the time he offered his amendment he said it was not what he considered the best currency or the best system. He claimed that his convertible and reconvertible bonds (already explained) was what this country really needed. I do not claim to be an expert on finance, but I humbly submit to our readers that the plan suggested by Senator Gordon was just about the com pletest method of turning this peo ple over to the bondholder that could be devised. The extracts read by him at Gib son to prove that he opposed de monetization were taken from his brief remarks on his $46,000,000 proposition in behalf of the National Banks and from his speech against the Resumption Resolution. It may surprise the people of Glass cock county very much to find that Senator Gordon thus tried to impose on them, but it is the literal truth. MINNIE SHERMAN. It seems 1 that I angered Senator Gordon by calling attention to the fact that his long civil career was barren of results. - Had the assertion been false, how easy was the proof! Where is his bill to abolish National Banks ? He has never introduced it. Where are his bills to impose an in come tax, to put the necessaries of life on the free list; to refund the cotton tax ; or to abolish any of the special favors enjoyed by the privi leged classes? He has not intro duced them. On the contrary, he is to be found in 1876, eager to give $6,000 of the public taxes to General Sherman’s daughter. It will be remembered that the Khedive of Egypt gave Gen. Sherman’s daughter some magnifi cent diamonds. Mr. Cummings of New York tells me they were valued at $60,000. The Custom House duty upon them, he says, was $6,000. The law was plain. Those diamonds could not be taken out without pay ing the tax. The tax belonged to all the people. That was the general law of the land and no exceptions were allowable. What did Congress do? Why, it made haste to give Gen. Sherman’s daughter the $6,000 of taxes which belonged to the pub lic treasury and allow her to have the jewels free. In other words, the en tire tariff system of the United States was suspended as a favor to Minnie Sherman. The bill for that purpose was introduced by Mr. Morrill, of Vermont; but Gen. Gordon, with that effusiveness so usual with him, announced in the Senate that he had intended to introduce the bill himself and he hoped that it would pass. So it did—unanimously. I merely mention to show how long Senator Gordon has been a convert to the doctrine of “equal right to all and special privileges to none.” It also affords another example of how promptly our law-makers can act when they really wish to do so. If any class*of people can afford to pay the lawful taxes, it is surely those in high places. If any class of goods can afford to pay the small duty of only 10 per cent, it is diamonds. If any special favors are to be granted it surely ought to be on clothing and such common articles of necessity. If any class is to be exempted from taxation it surely ought to be those who are most heavily oppressed. When we. were suffering from the Jute Trust, in 1888, we were laughed at when we asked a suspension of the duties on jute bagging. Yet Minnie Sherman’s diamonds went through “as slick as grease,” and Congress unanimously donated the great man’s daughter $6,000 of the people’s money. And among those Senators most anxious to show his eagerness to grant the “special privilege” she asked, was Jqjin B. Gordon, than whom “no man in this whole Union has longer, or more consistently and persistently, labored for the Reforms and Relief which the people need.” THIS SESSION. To this Congress the Senator was returned after a most painful canvass. No man ever entreated votes more earnestly and tearfully. In the strongest words which ardent rheto ric could suggest he consecrated his services to the cause of his people. How has he redeemed the pledge ? We have been in session more than six months and he has not introduced one solitary measure looking to the relief of the loyal friends who sent himhft-e ; nor has he made a single speech setting forth their grievances and suggesting the remedies. For nearly three weeks the great State of Georgia haa no representation what ever in the United States Senate. Colquitt was away—triggering around for that sweet-shrub of “pure politics,” David B. Hill. Gordon was away—nursing his bitter wrath against a man whose only offenUe was that he picked up the glove when Gordon threw it down. Grave questions affecting the in terests ol Georgia were pending in the Senate, but the majestic old com monwealth had no Senator on duty to guard her interests. A bill to pension the battered veterans of the Indian wars had passed the House and only waited the action of the Senate. Mr. Moses, of Georgia, was its author. Many of its beneficiaries had fought through the civil war, and they were old and needy. Mr. Moses found no Senator from Georgia ready to go on with the bill, and after waiting nearly two weeks had to go to Senator Turpie of Indiana to take charge of this Georgia measure. Instead of being here attending to the duties he is paid to discharge, Sen ator Gordon finds it more pleasant to canvass my district, denouncing me without measure and dictating how those people shall vote. His charges against me merit no attention and will get none. In every speech I made as Cleveland elector, as candidate for Congress and as Congressman-elect, are the same criticisms against the evil legislation I now oppose. Some of the severest arraignments of Democratic mis management I have ever made were delivered during my canvass. Every body in the Tenth district knows it; and that district also knows that the crime for which I have been marked out for destruction is that I adhered to my campaign pledges with religious fidelity. But enough. It would have been easy to have answered Senator Gor don in his own strain. To have done so would not have increased my self respect, nor added any strength to a cause which is holy in my sight. It would have been easy to have raised an idle laugh at his expense by many an allusion which wVmld have stung Senator Gordon and delighted his enemies. The provocation contained in his heated abuse of me would have held me justified, perhaps, in the eyes of the world. But I felt that such a course were unworthy of me and of the splendid district I represent. Therefore I have not answered Sen ator Gordon like a blackguard; I have replied to him like a gentleman. But while the work has been cour teously done it has been thoroughly done. If there is a single statement or argument of the Senator’s which has not been fairly met—let him name it if he can. If there is a sin gle statement or argument of my first article which has not been forti fied and held—let him name it if he can. The time when abuse in Georgia could outweigh facts and common sense, has passed away. The time when the passions of the war could be kindled into a flame to consume the living issues of the hour, has passed away. The time when a statesman could lead those people by stirring old prejudices and ignoring the terribly pressing grievances which now bear them down, has passed away. The time has come when the lead er must explain his policy and his principles; when he must redeem in earnest work the pledges of his cam paign ; when he must recognize that the people know some things and cannot be always deluded; when he must show that the word duty has some meaning for him after election as well as before; when he must show that he considers himself the sworn agent of the people and not their master. Let no man doubt that this time has come. Let no man doubt that this change has come. And here is one man who says from his heart of hearts, “Thank God for the time and for the change.” Let discussions go on. The truth will be plainer every day. Let “edu cation” go on. Knowledge will be more resistless every day. Let abuse of us go on. The, motives for it will become plainer every day. Here is one man who does not doubt the issue ; who has an abiding faith«in the triumph of Truth and Right; who does not believe that Falsehood ever erected a throne which was stable and firm; who be lieves with all the zeal of his soul that beneath this great movement of the suffering people are the granite foundations of Justice, and over it is the smile of God.
