NOOSE-SM DW MTS Senator Dixon Says They Are Safe Only in Hands of Progressives. By SENATOR JOSEPH M. DIXON Chairman of the Progressive National i Committee. XEW YORK. Aug. 26. For the first I time wince 1860 « political party has I put forth as its platform a declaration , of human rights. It is not. in the ordinary sense, a platform at all. The Progressive party has really made a covenant with the people. It presents a scientific solution of the economic situation that confronts ninety million American citizens. The Progressive program contem plates first a settlement of everyday American problems, in contradistinction to the platitudes contained in the Re publican and Democratic platforms which offer no solution whatever. The Progressive program deals with | the abnormal conditions in industrial life in America. It promises relief from the subnormal conditions of livins which affect every man, woman and child living under our government. Meaning Not in Doubt. It declares for decided and definite principles—compulsory insurance for loss of life or limb by men or women engaged in industrial pursuits; a minimum time of labor per day; a minimum wage for men as well as for women workers. Our program declares for the con servation of natural resources; but it goes further than that It declares for the conservation of the people theselves, and the conservation of its citizens should be the first duty of gov ernment. EveiA child born under the Ameri can flag has the right to be well born. It Is the duty the state owes to its future citizenship to see that the chil dren who are to be the men and women tomorrow have an opportu nity to be the right kind of men and women. For this our program provides, by definite, constructive suggestions, which are perfectly feasible to enact into law. yVhile carefully safeguarding the rights of property, the Progressive pro gram declares broadly that the rights of human beings are greater than prop, erty tights, and if it Is necessary tn sacrifice the one or the other the rights of human beings must be protected. We are not seeking to do anything Vtopian or ahead of the times or im practical. What we propose can be done. We do not need to wait for the slow evolution of human nature. Hu man nature is honest enough and suf ficiently advanced today to provide good government if we can keep those who would prey upon the people from coming between the people and the govern ment. Program of Simplicity. One of the things that commends otr program is its simplicity. No voter who reads it lays it down with any doubt as to Its meaning. It does not require a course of economics to un derstand what we are seeking to do or how we are seeking to do it. We merely have voiced the protest of the people who have suffered wrong against the w tongs they have suffered, and against the inen and the conditions that have imposed those wrongs. Hav ing voiced that protest, we have found a scientific way to better the conditions and to make it impossible for dishonest men to take unjust advantage of hon est men All we ask of the voter is to read our I platform and compare its specific utter- | anees with the meaningless generali ties in the platforms of the Democrat; and Republican parties. Then, after he has done tills, we ask him tn consider which he would prefer in office; Men who promise to do something definite and useful, and arc willing to leave lifelong party ties in order to do it. or mm who subscribe to platforms that promise nothing hut offices to those who sacrifice what convictions they may have to their desire tn continue to feed at 'hr pubir tr ugh. Comptre the Men. Again, we ask that th >ter comp the men who are In cur party with the men who arc in the others; place their records side by side; consider their achievements, and then go to the polls and vote for the set of men who have really done something. \\ c are on the v 'ge of a change of government. It must come, and it will come. We propose to bring it about peacefully and with no interference with business that is honest. The two old parties insist on the same old way. Let them insist. The people will get their way, but they are likely to get it suddenly ami perhaps violently. The worst enemies of the two old parties arr the men in each who insist m vltange is necessary. Th? Republi can par.ty foundered at Chicago, led to destruction by the men who could not see the breakers ahead. We as progressives have been able to understand the needs of the people a little better. To rvt them we had to leave the Republican party, but we had fa other desert a decadent and deci mating party than desert the people of the Cnitcd State*. FUNERAL NOTICE.

Aug. 26.—Eu. gene Victor Debs today accepted the Socialist nomination for the presidency. There was no notification committee, rhe candidate merely sending a state ment to the newspapers announcing his acceptance. in his statement Debs said: "The new Progressive party is a par ty of progressive capitalism. It is lav ishly financed and shrewdly advertised. But it stands for the rule of capitalism all the same. "When the owners of the trusts finance a party to put themselves out’of business, when they turn over their wealth to the people from whom they stole it and go to work and make an honest living, it will be time enough to consider the merits of the Roosevelt Progressive party. "One question is sufficient to deter mine the true status of all these par ties. Do they want the workers to own the tools they work with, control their own jobs and secure to themselves the wealth they produce? Certainly not. That is utterly ridiculous and im possible from their point of view." Ke put the Republican and Demo cratic parties in the same class. FACT AND GOSSIP INMONEYMARTS Country’s Crops Exceed This Year Nine Billions and Pass All Previous Records. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK. Aug. 26. -Every hour brings bumper crops nearer American granaries and should bring, a little later, lower prices for the things needful for the breakfast, dinner and supper table. That Js the cheering news which can be truthfully recorded this week. Financial and business America has in haled a fresh draught of courage. With out confidence petty obstacles become in surmountable: with confidence barrier after barrier can be scaled. There are sound reasons for the trans formation in sentiment. They stand out prominently on all sides. First: Nature, after her wont, has flea.lt bounteously with the United States. The farmers have seen themselves grow richer and richer during recent weeks, until today nothing but a miracle can prevent the garnering of greater harvests than the country has ever yet known. The total value of our agricultural prod ucts will not fall short of $9,000,000,000. It may be found that Secretary of Agricul ture Wilson’s next report will contain a figure approaching $10,000,000,000. Cotton, heretofore a laggard, has fallen into line, as the drop in quotation for the staple convincingly reflects. Nine billion dollars of new wealth from tire soil is a solid foundation on which to build genuine prosperity. Politics No Longer Bugaboo. Second: Politics no longer frightens frightens capital. Did the passage of tlie wool and steel tariff measures by the house of representatives over President Taft’s veto precipitate a stampede in the industries affected? Not for an Instant. The market value of the steel trusts shares greeted the news by advancing to a new high level for the current move ment, while the business world as a whole showed not one tremor. Each of the presidential candidates realizes that the old destructive policies have fallen from favor, and that the people now demand sensible, constructive legislation. At the same time, remedies for the corporate evils that still exist are accepted by capitalists as not only in evitable, hut in the end desirable. Rapid Trade Expansion. Third: Trade is expanding wonderfully. Raw material is at a premium in the steel industry, the railroads are already carrying the heaviest volume of traffic lin their history, and are urging equip ment manufacturers tn expedite delivery of new supplies, building is distinctly active, cotton mills are restricted only by a scarcity of labor, foreign trade is qf record proportions, the July production of refined copper reached a new maximum tor the country, the leather business is booming, an abundant fruit crop is swamping canners, and. as a corollary, hank clearings are well ahead of any rc < ent year. Surely that is an Inspiring catalogue! Higher Money a Certainty. of course, money is necessary to han idle ir creased business as well as to bring crops from the field to the market. (Consequently higher interest rates must be expected. But American bankers are taking the precaution »f applying earl) to London and Taris for accommoda tions. This is done by selling loan bills to these centers, these bills to be met when they fall due by shipments of cot ton, grain and other commodities. So far money rates here have not become undub’ high—the real pinch has not come yet, as the West has not begun to draw heavily upon the East. Investors are not showing a keen ap petite Offerings of new bonds have been kept down to a minimum, note issues are light and few stock notations have been attempted Tjjere is likely to be keen competition for new capital by and by. with every indication that generous terms will have to be allowed Higher Rates Demanded. Efforts are being made in many sections of the country to obtain higher rates on various classes of traffic, and it is possible the commission will now act with greater consideration. Choke the railroads and the whole stream of com merce will be dammed. Happily the anti railroad mania Is passing Indeed, the attitude of the American people toward business as a whole Is rap idly becoming sane. The problems that must still be solved promise to .be han dled. not with prejudice and passion, but with common sense and statesmanship AGED KENTUCKY MASON DIES. I L’ >1 ’IS VILLE.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. AUGUST 26. 1912. BEARISH REPORTS iLDWER COTTON Heavy Realizing Among Spot j Interests Sends Prices to Lowest Point. I NEW 'YORK, Aug. 26. Free offerings ; from a number of sources caused the cot* I ton market to open 3 to 12 points lower. There were favorable crop reports from , | various parts of the belt. Spot houses : both hero and the South were liberal sell ers. \ private dispatch that the Texas crop would reach 5.000.000 bales was also a factor. After the call the market was steady on covering by the room. The market was stagnant during the late forenoon trading, with little or noth ing doing and prices firmly maintained around tne opening. Later during the afternoon session, renewed hedge selling and large spot interests liquidating caused i a downward movement in prices of 5 to 8 points. The many reports of bearish character and the late weather map show -1 ing indications for favorable weather overnight were believed to be factors for the heavy realizing among traders. The ring crowd during the last half hour of trading began to liquidate heav ily and prices shewed further weakness, with October and January going below the 11c level and prices throughout the hst receding to the lowest levels since the recent bear movement prevailed. At the close the market was eas\. with • prices at a net decline of 18 to 26 points | from the final quotations of Saturday. ! r ANQE of NEW YORK FUTURES. . illlli Im| Li u Aug. IV.'»,Y 10.
