The C«ton Medical Co., of Bos¬

Rasa it around.
All this talk about a “poor man’s
dollar” is sickening and disgust¬
ing to any thinking man, woman
or child—the poor man hasn’t got
any dollar. If he had, the rich
man would be after it before night.
Just twelve more days in which
to register and qualify yourself to
vote in the October election; also
in the congressional election in
November. Have you attended to
this very important duty? If
not, yon should do so at once.
Mr. Hogan’s charges against the
democratic campaign managers in
fobbing Col. Hardeman by leav¬
ing him and his estate in the
lurch to the tune of $10,000 for
campaign expenses is substantiat¬
ed by the statement of Mr. Har¬
deman’s family, and it is making
the ring bosslets twist their tails
Jike fly time.
The first application for a pen¬
sion for services in the present war
has reached Washington. It comes
from a Wisconsin woman, whose
husband died of stomach trouble
in Camp Harvey. This is not a
joke—wish it was. It is only the
beginning of about
worth of stomach trouble to the
taxpayers.
If you will take it upon yourself
Ho travel about a half a day in the
country you’ll find that the pep-
ple don’t intend to be duped any
longer, but will almost to a man
vote tbs ticket nut out by
feofl* on July 4. This is as it
should be, and shows to the world
that the people in this neck ’o the
woods are doing their own reading
and thinking.
A gold standard means the cen¬
tralisation of capital into the
lands of the rich, impoverishment
af labor, the destruction of pros¬
perity, and the ultimate financial
slavery of the common classes.
This is the condition for which
you have been voting for lo these
many years, and we appeal to you
hi the name of your wives and
little onee-to ,uit voting for a
party that is enslaving you, and
-for once cast your ballot with your
reform brother.
Whan the farmer begins to mar¬
ket his 4-cent cotton some of the
fettle 2x4 editors will at ones be¬
gin to sing the same old song, set
to music by tb*ir bossei, that
times are getDug better. Well,
just let «e admit for the sake of
being agreeable, that they are.
Who made them bad? Who brought
an the panic? If the present
systems ore sueh os will let cer¬
tain powers make them good or
bad, how will tb« people ever knot.

WHAT IS DEMOCRACY?
There is a story told of a man
who attended a fourth of July cel¬
ebration back in the 60’s, when
slavery was the burning issue of
the day He was delighted with
the program until the declaration
of independence was lead, and
then left in rage and disgust, re¬
marking that he would not stay
at any celebration where “any
such an abolition document as that
was being read.”
At any demociatic demonstra¬
tion held today under administra¬
tion auspices the presentation of
certain time-honored documents
in party history would excite sim¬
ilar feelings of opposition and dis¬
gust. Let the reader imagine a
meeting presided over by some dis¬
tinguished member of the pie-
counter brigade, at which some
old line worker in democratic
ranks should rise and read from
the works of Thomas Jefferson the
notes of that famous statesman
on silver and bimetallism.
A tumult would at once be rais-
ed.
Following Jefferson’s views, an¬
other unsuspecting worker pre¬
sents some one of Jackson’s mes¬
sages on national banks, end one
of Benton's speeches in the senate
on the currency.
By this time the limit of endur¬
ance would have been reached.
Cries of “populist” and “popu¬
lism” would be heard all over the
house, and the illustrious members
of the pie-connter brigade would
unanimously end sternly resolve
that the men who could thus wan¬
tonly insult the feelings of the
state administration, as well as
their own tender sensibilities, were
nut democratic, and then proceed
in a dramatic manner to read said
offenders out of the party .in the
name of modern democracy.
Even as the declaration of inde¬
pendence was “bad medicine’’ for
the pro-slavery man, so ate the
documents written by the found¬
ers and patron saints of the party
naseating to the men who are at¬
tempting to swing the party away
from its ancient principles and
render it the subservient tool of
the money power.
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Did you ever think that the on¬
ly difference between bonds and
greenbacks (practically) is that
one draws interest and the other
does not?
Is it then strange that one of
these should be chosen by those
who would live without working
as a medium by which to accumu¬
late to themselves the wealth oth¬
ers have created?
Is it necessary for us to tell yon
which medium it is that the mon¬
ey sharks choose as their weapon?
Don’t you think it wise, then,
for the common people to insist
on the other? Or do yon think
Abe was a fool?
You must take one position or
the other. And just now you are
holding on to the other.
For thirty years the average vo¬
ter has taken no thought of gov¬
ernment principles. Party spirit
has engaged all his attention,
while principles have been ignor¬
ed. What are you doing now to
make sure you ere able to vote for
liberty, home and your family’s
prosperity? The people most do
their own thinking and voting, or
good bye to liberty^ America!
For the past two weeks the rain
has been doing much damage to
the crops throughout the state,
and the crop bulletin, published
yesterday in the Constitution,
states that “dry weafher is now
needed to save the crops.” Cotton
continues to shed and rust badly,
and if U»e it —ill
min t he crops.
A flash in the pan*.
Hon. Allen D. Candler made
what is technically styled the open¬
ing address of his campaign at
Milledgeville. The colonel has
been speechifying for several
mouths, even since he wrote his
epistle to the Romans in which he
accused his present colleagues of
committing rape on the dear old
party; but hia Milledgeville speech
is to be considered his opening
speech, probably to take away the
bad taste which his former
have left m the months of the
faithful.
Another reason why this is call¬
ed his opening address, perhaps, is
that he speaks now under orders
and directions of his party execu¬
tive committee, of which Fleming
duBignon, tbs goldbug leader, is
the hjead. With a flourish of
trnmpeta it was announced that
the democratic candidate would
demolieh the populists, and espe¬
cially, that he would disprove the
damaging charge made on the
stump at Madison that the demo¬
cratic campaign committee in the
last campaign had Col. Hardeman,
the democratic state treasurer,
loan it $10,000 as a campaign
fond, which sum having not been
repaid, Col. Hardeman's widow
was compelled to pay it out of her
husband’s insurance mone£.
We have berore us the report of
Col. Candler’s “opening” address,
as printed in the Constitution, and
evidently was furnished by the
colonel before the Bpeech was de¬
livered from the original text. It
mast therefore be authentic. And
we note that all the refutation of
the* grave charge made by Col.
Candler ia a letter from Mr. Clay,
who was chairman of the demo¬
cratic committee wheq the charge
applies, that it is true. “This,”
naively says Col. Candler, “is the
proof of its utter falsity.”
As Mr. Hogan would not make
the charge without having proof
to sustain it, when he shall furnish
that proof, which will do now that
its correctness is denied, it will be
seen what a wit Uncle Allen is,
who brings the denial of the form¬
er chairman and says no further
proof of the falsity of this grave
charge is needed.
The balance of the his ‘{opening" former
speech is a rehash of
speeches, a lot of glittering gener¬
alities and false sophistry. He has
the candor to admit, howevef, that
under democratic rule the tax rate
had been increased from 25 cents
on the hundred dollars in 1882 to
62 and two-tenths cents on the
hundred dollars in 1897; an in¬
crease of tax burdens of 280 per
cent, in fifteen years. He claim
that this increase of tax rates ap-
plies to all states, to those under
populist or republican rale as well
as those contrc lied by democrats.
In making this statement Col.
Candler flhowc that either he is
ignorant h» matters which he as¬
sumes to fcuo^nr that he doesn’t
mind to ra%ke a deliberate mifc-
Statement of a facts when it suite
his purpose to do so.’ It is well
known that in Kansas and other
gtates where popphsts have ob-
tained control the taxes imposed
on the people have beep reduced,
a giving effected by reducing sala¬
ries and abolishing useless offices,
and by other methods of retrench¬
ment and reform.
Baldwin county being a populist
county, Col. Candler devoted a
good part of his speech in tallying
the populists, in the vain hope of
gaining populist votes. “Most of
them are as sincere and honest as
have said they «e, most of them,

Candler, only a few dsys ago, de¬
nounced, in a private letter, every
populist as a political abortion,
while he brazenly stood up before
them and declared he had never
abused them, they must have ac¬
cepted as a doubtful compliment
his flattery that he believed the
populists were as honest as he, and
they will certainly accept at their
true value the eily profession of a
professional politician who is out
hunting votes which begins to
realize he will need^badly.
