CORRESPONDENCE.
COL. BROCK AND HIS PARTY.
The Apostle Paul said, “I am
ashamed of the Gosoel of Christ, for it is
tile power of God unto .Salvation to every
one that beUeveUi; to the Jew film, then
to the Gentile.’* Now, in the language
>f the apostle Raul, 1 say lam liotasliuni
ed of the Republican party and its prin
ciples. for thev have kept and preserved
the life of the nation. They have kept
and preserved the rights of the people;
they have kept and preserved the Union;
they have made every man a free man;
they have made the American nation the
most prosperous nation on earth; they
have made—and the policy of the Repub
he an party has brought about our great
and grand prosperity, that should cause
every American citizen to honor mid love
The Republican party and its grand and
noble principles.
The Republican party has ever been the
Union party; the Republican party lias
ever been against war and blood slied
among her citizens; tlic Republican par¬
ty did all in its power to avoid secession.
The Republican party begged the Demo¬
cratic party to not disrupt the Union;
the Republican party restored the Un¬
ion and saved the life of the nation.
against the combined power of the Dem¬
ocratic party; the Republican party in
Georgia placed the state of Georgia back
into the Union against the will, wishes,
power and combined opposition of the
Democratic party; the Republican party
established the present free school sys¬
tem in Georgia against the combined op¬
position of the Democratic party; the
Republican parly is for the American
nation, her people, her interest and the
interest of her citizens, rather than the
interest of England aud her people and
Europe hc»> people. The Republican par
ty is American in principle. 1 have be¬
fore me the speech of the lion. Tlios. M.
Norwood, made a few days since before
the Georgia Legislature. It is one of the
best Republican campaign documents that
I have yet read. It shows most clearly,
and without any doubt, the difference be¬
tween a state that is entirly Republican
and one that is entirely Democratic, and
coming from Mr. Norwood, who is a
leader of the Democratic party I pre¬
sume the Democrats will take wliat he
says as true. Mr. Norwood takes Rhode
Island, that only has 1250 square miles.
Georgia has 58,W0 square miles,
Rhode Island is overwhelmingly Repub
Heart and has been all the time. Georgia
overwhelmingly Democratic and has been
alt the time, for which lie makes tlic
comparison. Now, what is tlie result?
Rhode Island’s poor laboring people bad
oil deposit in the savings banks in 1890
sixty million four hundred and seventy
nine thousand dollars. Georgia, forty
six times as large as Rhode Island—the
population Riiode Island in 1890 was 345
000.Ga.133-h.00. The number depositors in
Republican Rhode Island in 1890 was 127,
898. Democratic Georgia depositors on¬
ly numbered 43,870. The amount of de¬
posits iu Rhode Island was $60,479,000.
In Democratic Georgia $2,037,000. 1 he
amount to each depositor in 1890 in
Rhode Island was $472,88. In Democrat¬
ic Georgia only $60,12. This same anal¬
ogy will apply to all the states in tlie
Democratic south and the Republican
states in the North. This comparison of
Mr. Norwood shows, without any doubt
whatever that protection is not any inju¬
ry to the laboring people, but a beue
fit.
Mr. Norwood says, “what are tlie ad¬
vantages of New England over the south?
With what has God endowed her that He
has not endowed us?” I see no trouble
iu answering Mr Norwood’s question.
God endowed the people of the New ,
England states with the principles of love
for the United States government, also
with tho principle of protection for
American industries, and protection to
American labor; and this protection pol
icy, which is carried out in Republican
Rhode Island, lias made it possible for
her laboring people to make money and
have it on deposit in the banks, The on
ly draw back that Georgia lias is her
Democratic principles—is her denuncia¬
tions of the Republican party, and the
people of the Northern and Eastern
states. Mr. Norwood and all the Demo¬
cratic speakers and agitators that arc ag¬
itating the minds of tho common poor
j Iaboii "K people are denouncing the
National Ranking System. I hoy say
things that are not true, and fail to state
what.
For the purpose of making the question
plain so the people may understand this
' inking system, and for the purpose that
I tllc people may know the; truth when
i Giese money agitators are speaking and
j denouncing the national banks and na
tional banking system, I will here state
what is first to be done before any person
ov persons can legally begin business.
Hlwish to begin business with, say
$9°,0OO, I must purchase $10,000 in gov
j i en,ment bonds and deposit them in the
twawivy of the United States. For this
amount 1 get $1)0,000 in national bank
bills. I lose at the start $10,000. I have
to paySJO on tho sil0,«0 to tlio Jovorn
meat to print the national bank bills, and
this is the one per cent, that we hear
these agitators say so much about.
But this is not all the banker or banking
corporation lias to pay. There is a heavy
tax oil his banking capitol, which these
money agitators fail to say anything
about.
I will now proceed to give the amount
of taxes paid into the United States’
treasury for several years past.
In the year 1S7I the national banks
paid taxes to the amount of eighteen
million five hundred and nine thousand
nine huncred and seventy-three dollars.
For the year 1877 fifteen millions seven
lmndred and thirty-one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-seven dollars. For
the year 1890 they paid one million three
hundred and one thousand three hundred
and twenty-six dollars. So we see they
must have, on an average for each year
since 1871, paid not less than ten million
dollars for each year, which, for the last
twenty years, would amount to two hnn
drcd mil’ions of dollars. This vast
sum of money was paid and is yet being
paid by these much abused banking cor¬
porations into the United States treasury
to pay a debt that was forced upon the
American people by these same Demo¬
cratic speakers and agitators that are
now so violently assailing tlie national
banking system. Any and all men have
tlie right to do a banking business. It is
not a monopoly. Therefore, if it is so
profitable a business, why do these raon
ey agitators not go into tho banking bus
iness at ouce?
I wish, in this article, to refute and set
aside another false and misleading state¬
ment that is being made and circulated
among the people by these false and dis¬
cerning speakers and agitators, that are
traveling over the country, claiming that
they are the poor man’s friend, and true
aud correct educators, and telling the
people that what they say is true. They
are saying to the people that the Repub¬
lican party has reduced the money circu¬
lation to one-tenth of what it once was.
Some say that their is only four dollars
per capita in circulation. Now, are these
charges and statements true, or are they
false and misleading? If their charges
are false, the people ought to know it,—
If true, they ought to know it.
I now proceed to give the omount of
money that was, and is outside of the na¬
tional treasury, and among the people,
and the national banks ready to be paid
to the people for their labor and the pro¬
ducts of their labor.
In the year 1860 the amount in circula¬
tion was about four hundred and thirty
five millions of dollars. The amount per
capita $13.85. In 1865 the amount in cir¬
culation was seven hundred and twenty
three million dollars, and the per capita
urns $20.82. In the year 1885 the amount
in circulation was one billion two hun¬
dred and ninety-two millions, and the
per capita amount for each man, woman
and child in tlic United States was $24.02.
On January the 5th, 1891, tlie money in
circulation was one billion three hundred
and twenty-nine .million dollars. Per
capita $24.10. It is a fact, that, instead
of a reduction of the circulation, the
Republicans have increased the circula¬
tion about four hunched per cent. So we
see that the charges made against the
Republican party, by these agitators, are
utterly falso and misleading. We see
from the facts, from the figures as given
above, that tho Republican party lias
gradually increased the amount of money
and put the same in circulation, so that
today we have more money in circulation
in the United States than we ever had
before, by about four hundred per cent,
and the reason that I have not got my
part of it is, l have nothing to sell or to
give in exchange for the money, and per
haps there are a few others in my condi
tion. 1 hope not.
In the next place these agitators are
continually denouncing (he Republican
j party, for favoring protection for
j American T >>ey cal1 tlic labor Republican and American industries,
j party « rw-her
| P art y. These charges arc false, and
j made that agitated by the same the agitators and and minds leaders of
j country
j the people previous to the year 1860-tlio
result of that policy of agitator, is iv«ll
j known and experienced by tho common
people of the country. The policy that
| was advocated by the same agitators that
are now agitating the people was sought
to be carried into effect, and I presume
the common poor men, women and chil¬
dren did then, and some of them yet feel
the effect, and have reaped a good por¬
tion of the fruits of these agitators. It
was these agitators that advocated seces¬
sion; that advocated disunion; that advo
cated the destruction of the government,
It was this policy of denunciation and ag
i itation that caused the war between the
f
States. Previous to the year 1860 these
j same agitators were denouncing tliepeo
pie of the Northern and Eastern states,
and their policy and indusUies. 1 hey
today have somewhat changed their pol
my of denunciation and are c,enouncing
: Ex-President Cleveland and the people
i of the Eastern states. These agitators
are opposed to the people of llic Northern
an( l Eastern states because they puisued
i a policy different from what was and is
I being advocated by these Southern agita
tors. This northern policy has made and
is making their people rich,while the pol¬
icy advocated and carried into effect on
the part of the South has, and is keeping
her people poor.

Perhaps Col. Brock 'can give us some
information on the following circulars.
We pause for a reply.
hazzaiid’s circular.
Slavery is likelev to be abolished by tlie
war power, and chattel slavery destroy¬
ed. This, I and my European friends are
in favor of—for slavery is but the own¬
ing of labor, and carries with it to care
for the laborer; while tlie European plan
led on by England, is capital con troll of
labor by controlling wages. This can be
done by controlling the money. The
great debt that capitalists will see to is
made out of the war, must be used as the
measure to control the volume of money.
To accomplish this the bonds must be
used as a banking basis. We are now
waiting to got tlie Secretary of the Treas¬
ury to make this recommendation to Con
gross. It will not do to allow the green
back, as it is called, to circulate as mon¬
ey for any length of time, for wo cannot
control that.
burr’s bank circular.
Dear Sir: It is advisable to do all in
your power to sustain such daily and
prominent weekly newspapers, especial¬
ly the agricultural and religous press.
As will oppose tho issuing of Greenback
paper money, and that you also withhold
patronage or favors from all applicants
who are not willing to oppose the green¬
back government issue of money. Let
the government issue the coin, and the
banks issue the paper money of the^
country, for then we can better protect
each other. To repeal the law creating
National banks, or to restore to circula¬
tion the government issue of money, will
be to provide the people with n (i < y,
and will therefore seriously affect your
individual profits as banker and lender.
See your member of Congress at once,
and engage him to support our interest,
that we may control legislation.
