MORE MONEY AND CHEAPER MONEY.
The next clause in this seventh resolution de-
mands sufficient volume of these treasury
notes: How stands my record on that alliance
doctrine of more money al low rate of interests
In 1874 in the Senate, after showing from
statistics that England had as least S25 10 each
inhabtant. and France at one time $40 per
capita and at least S32 now, l used these words:
Now, sir, ask. is it imitation TO give to the
people OF the United States an amount of cur
rency approximating the amount which the
most conservative nations in the world have
demonstrated is essential TO healthy trader IL
the experience of England demonstrates
that S2j is not too much for her peo-
Pile; if the experience of France demonstrates
that SS2 is not too much for the French, how is
It that the enlghted craftsmanship Of the United
States has discovered thar S13 IA Is enough for
US! Are our necessities any less than the ne
cesslties of England and Of France2 / appre-
bend they are greater-always greater in q
sparsely settled country"
Again, / used these words:
"Mr. President, no sophistry can explain
away the significance of these facts; no logic
can answer them. You may theorize forever,
but the logic of these facts will remain I'M
answered. Their power will be appreciated by
the people, and they will yet demand that the
currency upon which the rewards of their toll
depend shall be taken from the control of Wall
street and the monopolists. They will override
the power which the money changers can COM

Alliancemen of Georgia, these words Of mine,
advocating every solitary clause OF the alliance
financial platform, were delivered in she Senate
more than ten years before the alliance was
organized. These are my words, urging the
farmers to q compact brotherhood. There is
my declaration of alliance principles item by
item, clause by clause, word by word, tracking
SO precisely your financial platform of to-day
that if my speech were made to-day il would be
said that, like all new converts, l was over
jealous.
REMARKABLE FULFILLMENT OF GEN. GoRDoN's
PROPHECIES.
But these, too, are my recorded prophecies of
nearly seventeen years standing, now realized
in every minor particular. What are you going
to say about it, or do about it, my countrymen?
Has any other man in or out of the alliance
has any MANN the whole country any such ALI
ance recordf If so, where is he! Let him be
named, and let bis record be produced.
am no prophet nor the son OF a prophet, but
had been gifted with power to lift the veil of
the future and look down the coming years
could have more accurately foretol the com
ing events, and all the events-the organization
of this order, the fight upon the national banks.
the Increase of the currency and the verv kind
and character of the currency? Had known
seventeen years ago that this platform
would be adopted. could | by any possibility
have more com 5letely stood uponit?
pause again to inquire If the alliancemen Of
Georgia going to lend tn -mselves to this
effort TO defeat me on any such ground as has
been named
ANOTHER PROPHECY.
pause, ALSO long enough to utter on this
goth day of August, 1890, one other prophecy
which also will be fulfilled. Il is this: We shall
have between now and the election, all over the
| state, new converts to alliance principles who
never would have been heard of as advocates of
these principles but for the vacancy in the
United States Senate and a majority of alliance
men In the legislature.
AGAIN As TO METHODS.
pnt lat tO he nod IN
beguile the farmers of Georgia, who have known
me from my youth up into unwarranted dis
| trust and into an organized effort for my de-
| feat. These aSsailants cannot answer my
| record. The recorded facts will confront them
| at every turn.
MEMBERS TO BE CONTROLLED IN ATLANTA.
Alliancemen of Georgia. what think you OF
| the doctrine that members nominated as demo
| Gratis, voted for as democrats, elected as demo
Gratis, are to be manipulated when they reach
Atlanta and induced to vote against demo
| crat only and solely because he is to be tried by
/ plank not in the democratic PLATFORM Nc
such one man power or half dozen men power
| appertains to the alliance constitution. And
! these alliance democrats are men Who think fol
| themselves, and have the nerve and the honor
| to stand firmly by their pledges to their con
| sJituents.
| If STRUCK THE BLOW WILL BE IN THE HOUSE
| .'r -o OF HIS FRIENDS.
| And now, my country men, have delivered
| my message of peace and my appeal fol
| harmony IT my defeat is o be comprised by
| the programme discussed should feel that the
| blow had been struck in the house of my
| friends-struck by the very men to whose rights
| and interests so large portion Of my public
| life has been devoted.
The loss of the office would not be the source
| Of my deepest regret; for you are my witnesses
| that could have secured 1t by an almost unani
| nous vote, The keenest pang would be the
| consciousness that among those who dealt the
| blow were my confederate comrades in the
| alliance brotherhood, acting under the leader
| ship of men who never shared with them the
| dread fortunes of war.
| Irefuse to believe that these brave veterans
| the old guard of the confederate army and Of
| southern honor-than whom the world contains
| no grander men. will, on such pretext, repu
diate their pledges or bring discussions inrC
democratic ranks which may involve the future
| welfare of this commonwealth.
