A RINGING LETTER FROM III. C. BROWN.
Once for the Third Party He Points tho
Farmers to Their Only Hope.
Editor Consttution-For many months
/ have been entirely out of politics and have
resolved to keep out of political controver-
sy and political strife, but there are some
things now transpiring which / cannot allow
| to pass by unnOticed without Il sense OF
duty undischarged. l am an allianceman in
the true sense of the word and believe more
firmly than ever in their doctrines of
equal rights to all and special privileges
to none" This motto is a constitutional
one, and when that sentence was written it
was but an echo of the sentiment OF our
fOrefathers when they adopted that constl-
tuition, which guarantees to every American
citizen full protection in life, liberty and
property" What honest man can ask
more?
1t is useless for me to say that the gov
eminent has long ago departed from that
promise. When the government levleS Il
tax upon imports which is beyond the de-
| mands Of an economical administration and
fattens the already too fat manufacturer
on the one hand, while it Expresses the
consumer on the other; when it farms out
the issue of currency to the bondhoders
through the national banking system, and
slaces Il tax of 10 per cent on state banks OF
issue it places the fixed volume OF money
in the hands of monopolists giving them the
power of contraction and expansion at
will. Thus has the protection of life. liberty
and property guaranteed in the constltu-
ton been taken away from the masses and
increased power and protection and PRIV
leges placed in the hands of the money
classes For the reformation of these
wrongs / joined the Farmers Alliance and
endeavored With many of the best ana
truest men in our country to educate the
people upon these subjects and to have
them demand of their representatives
reformation of the laws touching these
things and restore to the people the rights
and privileges of constitutional govern
melIt.
l believe these reforms will yet result
from the education of the masses if the
result of some Of the great mistakes now
being made can be averted.
AS the leading politicians of the coun-
try were more and more persistent in their
war upon the alliance, the demand for
party based upon alliance demands grew
and strengthened. The sentiment grew
stronger under the fostering care asld
influence of the politicians ana demagogues
until it eliminated in the formation OF
political party, the platform OF which was
made to fit the within of every discontinued
element and in which simple demand OF
Equal rights to ali and special privileges
to none" would be rs hard to locate as the
tail end of an April rainbow. l am IN the
fullesu sympathy with the men who com
pose the peoples party. and know that they
are suffering from oppression and from
misruc but ! am sure they are III the
wrong line to remedy these evils.
Some months ago, l wrote you an artl-
Gle upon state banks and SAID in it that 1T
was the quickest and most practical road
to financial relief i was severely crit,
cised for my position on that matter and
by the very men such u system would
relieve, and they invariably demanded that
the government issue money On land. me
nrrT had enough and but 02 may AnGH s de1
er US from a landed arristocraey;
But fey Of the o men Il w Who Most we we
them are renters and yet in the demand for
government loans on lands they would build
up a landed plutocracy which would tor
ever prevent the poor man IRON owning
land. With such state OF affairs as
would be terminated here by the cnslave-
ment of farmers by landed plutocrats we
would have anarchy SO hot that one would
be glad to so to hades to cool OFT.
The real reforms for which the alliance
was organized have been lost sight of and
by the enactment of others The result mas
been that the alliance has about died and
the new party is its executor, While, horror
OF horrors, the republican party stands ready
to be its legatee. The deceased and the
executor will not be profited, but the legatee
will be greatly strengthened, Can Geor-
gians longer afford to trife with this mat
ter? | cannot am not a politician, am
not an Office seeker, but an alllanceman,
who loves that order and who loves reform,
,bo
psessed people.
The peoples party candidate for president
could not be elected if he were to carry every
state in which that. party IS running an
electoral ticket. With this fact staring us
in the face can we afford to give our state
to our enemies because we cannot get what
we want? God forbid!
beg every thinking man IN the s'a'e
who has worked with me in alliance ranks
to stop and reconsider before he throws the
electoral vote of Georgia i'll the hands OF
| the republican party.
! Are YOU opposed to the national bank-
| ing system? The republican party Is the
father of national banks.
Are YOU opposed to monopoly! The re-
publican party is the party OF contractioh'
monopoly and oppression
Arc YOU opposed to a high tariff which
| robs the poor to fatten the rich! The re-
| pnblican party is the advocatOr OF high tar
| if.
the Anglo-Saxon manhood and woman
| hood of Georgia? If so, beware of that
| party which would disgrace our civilization
| by negro supremacy.
4 word to every manager of elections and
| every good citizen of Georgia who expects
to 30 to the polls on next Wednesday, and

For the sake of peace ut home, for the
| love you bear your families and your coun-
| t-y insure to every man Il free ballot a1d
! a fair count on that day. Leave no room
| fer any dissatisfaction or any heart burn
ings The republican party stands ready
to send federal supervisors to every pre-
| cinct at our national election, if the least
| excuse be given. There are men in Geor-
| gia now ready to so far forget themselves
| as to vote for these henchmen of a republic
