NEW PEOPLES PARTY PAPER IN
GEORGIA.

NEW PEORLES EABT1 PAkGk IN
GEORGIA.
We have received the first number
Of The Peoples Party Paper pub
lished at Atlanta, Georgia. It is ably
edited, neatly printed on good paper,
and worthy Of the abundant support
it is sure to receive. The people Of
the south are ready for just such o
paper, or for a number of such papers,
and this initial venture will undoubt-
edly meet with such liberal encourage
ment as to induce others TO follow In
its footsteps at no distant day.
The Alliance official organs are not
up to the demands Of the people po-
litcally. They are endeavoring to
hold the members back and prevent
them from announcing their inten-
tions politically prior to the Conven-
tion Of February 20, 1892 In this
they are making dismal failure
Alliances all over the south are de-
claring for the new party, and we
predict that if a few such papers as
the one under consideration shall
make their appearance in different
localities they will make the Alliance
organs change their tactics or they
will make them very sick, one Of the
two. 1t would be all very we'll to
talk of the agreement to leave this
question to the February convention,
if the masses Of the people Of the south
were yet undecided; but when il is
known everywhere, both north and
south, that the southern AllianCemen
cannot be kept out Of the new party,
it seems foolish TO us to postpone
the declaration longer. There is no
doubt ss to what the decision Of the
February convention viii be. In fact
we have serious doubts II the new
party sentiment can be suppressed at
Indianapolis next month. We do not
believe it possible for the people
north and south TO again assemble in
convention, and withhold the declsrs-
tion of the purpose which is as fixed
now as 1t will be in 1892.
The south has already some able
advocates Of the Peoples party. The
Industrial Educator, Of Fort Worth,
is one of the brightest in the country,
and The Peoples Party Paper will
be to Georgia what the Industrial
Educator is to Texas.
II will stir up the animals and
make political matters lively. We
bespesk for it 8 generous patronage
which 1t is sure to receive. We shall
make some quotations from it next
week.

Ceived from this same "friend Of the
farmers" Mr.. Bowen, it seems, had
inserted a very innocent looking ad-
vertisement in the Kansas FGrmes,
and q reader of that paper, being
curious TO know what it meant, had
responded to it. OF course any pa
per is liable TO be deceived in regard
to advertisers occasionally; however,
great may be the precautions against
it; and it seems the Former was not
an exception to this rule in the pres
emit instance. This fellow, who is
bubbling over with sympathy for the
dear farmers, and who is only kept
from joining the Alliance on account
Of his profession, is simply another
sleek rascal who is seeking to rob
those for whom he processes so much
affection. The following letter and
circular sent to our correspondent is
sufficient proof Of this statement, and
1t furthermore clearly shows why he
came to regard the "Hold your wheat
circular" as q scheme Of the speCu-
lators:
NEW YORK, September II, 1891.
DEAR SIR:-YOur answer to advertisement In
Kansas Farmer at hand. We lnclose circular, q
careful peFusal Of which we recommend.
This is year Of wonderful promise In all busl-
ness circles. Wall street 10 the first to respond
Stocks have already advanced from ten to twenty
points since July 4, showing clear profit OF
from $500 to $500 on each SlO0lnvested. And the
boom Is only commenced. The immense crops
OF the farmers are the cause OF this prosperity,
and farmers should be the ones to profit by IL.
The New York Central railroad has over 1000
carloads OF wheat on slde-track waiting to be
moved. Along the Northern Pacific railroad
millions Of bushels In sacks are piled along the
tracks waiting for cars. Every foot Of space In
every ship that piles between here and Europe
ls engaged long in the future for the shipment of
wheat This country has never known such q
business revival as is probable during the COM
Ing months. There is fortune for every man
who is wise enough to invest now.
Every farmer who has mortgage to lift can
do so by sending US few hundred dollars
If you want from % to IS per bushel for your
wheat, sell 1t now and put the money in stocks.
A word to the wise is SUFFICIENT; but be wise In
time. Now Is the time. Yours truly,
A. H. Bowen q Co.,

ONE Of the most rampant partisan speeches
we ever heard, was made by Hon. Tim Nc
Carthy, at the reunion at Stafford last week FRI
day. Tim told the old soldiers, II the other fel-
lows would ever get hold Of the government the
soldiers pension would 60 up Salt river. We
were really surprised TO see prominent man
like him seek to bulldOze In that style. He also
said, that Hon. Paul VandervOOrt. who will
speak at st. John ON October 20, was an enemy
Of the soldiers, he was wolf In sleeps clothing,
etc. Hence we extend special invitation that
all come and hear this wolf speak. County
Capital.
The Grand Army of the Republic
under Tins administration, is strictly
non-partisan of course. Tim said at
the Hutchinson encampment that it
would be. Perhaps he would conde-
scend to tell the old soldiers from
what time Paul Vandervoort's enmity
to them dates, and in what particular
way he found it out. It will take
pretty good evidence to satisfy the
soldiers that their old commander is
their enemy. Tim has undertaken
a contract, the dimensions of which
he does not yet fully comprehend.
The advocate., 1891-10-07

JUDGE JAMES HUMPHREY, ex-railrOad COM
missioner Of the state, and candidate for judge
Of the judicial district, supported by Democrats
and Republicans, good citizen and an able
lawyer, Is In the clty. -EmpOrid Republican.
Just so. He is so non-psrtisan you
know.
The advocate., 1891-10-07
WHY THE CHANGER

importance IN the present discussion
between parties is the currency ques-
tion. From the very first the ALI
ance, and, after it's organization, the
Peoples party, have urged the con-
traction policy of the past twenty-five
years as one of the chief grievances
Of which we had TO complain. Until
very recently the fact that the policy
of contraction has been steadily pur-
sued, has not only not been denied,
but every Republican journal has en-
desvored to justify it as q necessary
step toward the resumption of specie
payment, and the maintenance OF our
entire currency 1T par with gold.
There has been no attempt to ques-
tion the fact of contraction until very
recently. When we have contrasted
the prosperity Of the years just sue
Ceeding the close of the war with the
depression, the diminished values
and the stagnstion of business of the
present time, and have pointed to the
large amount of currency in circula-
tion just after the war as the cause Of
the prosperity that prevailed at that
time, we have been told that the
great expansion Of the currency had
caused its depreciation until it took
50 and upwards of our paper money
to buy one of gold. AS before stated,
the policy of contraction has been
constantly justified by the Republi-
can press as q necessity. In April,
1890, the Capital published two edi-
torisls in answer to inquiries of cor
respondents relative to the amount of
money in circulation in 1866, in which
the per capita was stated at $64. Now
the attempt is made to show that the
per capita at that time was but about
$40 and that there has been a steady
increase from that day to this. Pa
per money that Secretary McCulloch,
Treasurer Spinner and John Jay
Knox, for many years comptroller of
the currency, have officially declared
to be currency in actual circulation,
is now said not to have been money
at all, and a grand effort is made all
along the line to show that constant
increase has taken place in the volume
of our circulation. Even the secre-
tsry of the treasury, SO great is the
desperation of his party, has felt
called upon to issue a special
report, manipulating figures SO as
to show this increase. 1t is not
our present purpose to attempt an
analysis of his figures or show the
wilful perversion OF facts in this re-
port or in the newspaper screeds upon
the same subject. We simply desire
to call attention to the change of front
by the Republican press and poll
ticians. Even Senator Plumb is forced
to stultify himself, and to fall in line
with this modern doctrine. His
recent letter upon this subject is a
disgrace to the high Office he holds.

at their rooms in Caledonian Park. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
considering the applications of several of
the old members OF the club who had
been suspended and who wished to re-
turn. Some of them stated that they did
not think it was fair to be charged the
full amount of dues for the months dur
ing which they were not present and
could not enjoy the privileges of the club
rooms. This question has come to the
club SO often OF late that the Board de-
cided TO settle it.
All the members of the Board were
present and the subject was thoroughly
discussed, and il was decided to take
back all old members VINO left of their
own accord and were not suspended FOR
pon-pnyment of dues by paying one-half
of the amount due the club. This is a
wise move on the part of the Board. and
many dollars will roll into the clubs
treasury on count OF it. This club once
had u membership of over 800. At each
meeting of the club old members are
making their appearance and settling mp.
The clubs present membership is over
one hundred.

last evening at Roche's Hall. for the pur-
pose Of arranging u series of games for
the local championship, did not come to-
gether and the proposed series is just as
far away as if it had never been spoken
OF. Delegates were present from the
Shamrock, Farley Enlmers and the Bar
rvs. The Gaelic team sent word that
they would not enter. j. Farley of the
Farley-Enimets suggested that the three
clubs represented have a series aud play
the games on Christmas Day. M. j.
Curry, of the ShamrocKs, said he was
willing, but w. Barry, of the Barrys. did
not declare himself and the meeting
closed. The delegates, after the meet
ing, entered into a spirited discussion
and Barry finally stated that his club
would enter. Mr.. Curry at once pro-
posed that they draw lots. but Barry de-
clined until they had secured suitable
grounds. Messrs. Foley and Curry will
at once secure an enclosed field, il pos
sfble. II the Barrys do not compete the
