100000 PROHf. VOTERS.
The Agreement Plan for Sc
curing That Number.
Now is the Time to Push the
Scheme in Mississippi.

What is known as the Million Voters
Agreement for securing 100000
voters pledged to vote the Prohibit
tOin party ticket in the presidential
election of 1892, is already familiar to
many readers of the LEADER. 1t was
originated by the Voice last fall, and
has grown in favor with Prohibition
ists throughout the country from the
day of its publication. The plan has
met with the hearty endorsement of
Chairman Dickey and every member
of the National Prohibition Party Ex-
ecutive Committee. The committee
now has active supervision of the
work and is pushing the agreement in
all of the States.
Agreement blanks are furnished
free, and the names, as they are sent
in, are cOun ted and audited under the
supervision of two members of the
Prohibition party, and well known
member each of the Democratic, Peo-
ple's and Republican parties, to insure
perfect fairness.
The following is ...s.
THE AGREEMENT.
he, the undersigned, being profoundly int
pressed ,cith the aggressive pocer Of the u
gaor traffic and the Overwhelming erils, po
dtical, Industrial and moral, growiHg out Of
it, deliGre that a strong Influence ,coatd be er-
erted upon public sentiment and a long step
taken toWdrd the eradication Of those erils if
the enemies of the liquor traffic could present
as united a front as the liquor dealers present
tuhen their business is attacked. We there
| fore agree to rote at the Presidential election
in 1892, for the candidates of the Prokibi-
ton Party for President and Vice President,
prorided the signatures of one million rOters
be secured to this agreement.
A great many persons who endorse
the objects and aims of the Prohibi-
tion party, hesitate to vote for its can
didates because they regard it as a
vote thrown away. Here is the op-
portunity to enter into an agreement
with 100000 other voters in advance
of the election, to vote for candidates
representing Prohibition principles.
If the million signers are not secured
no one is bound by the agreement.
With that many pledged votes, il
| would give an impetus to this move
, ment which would insure it the bal
ance of power in this years contest
and give it control of the government
in 1896.
Agreement blanks can be had free
on application to the LEADER, the
Voice, of New York, or the National
Prohibition Executive Committee, and
when signed, they can be returned to
either, and the names will be correct
ly recorded by the committee having
that duty in charge.
So far, very little effort has been
made in Mississippi. Let Prohibi-
tiOnists aud members of the w. c. L.
U. take the matter in hand in their
respective communities and begin
pushing it at once.

excrescence of the most malignant
character, fastened on the body polite
by Congressman and State Legislators
elected by Christian voters, and then
influenced in their legislation by the
money and corrupt methods of liquor
dealers and manufactures. Its ten
dency is, and ever has been, to disin-
tegrate and displace every moral force
and healthy function of q benign gov
ernment, and to substitute therefor
the destructive influences that flow
from its own malignant nature. And
as this is "a government Of the people,
by the people, and for the people" the
responsibility for the existence Of this
evil in the government is with the
people ; and if destroyed, it must be
done by the people. And as it has
been created and perpctuated by leg
islation, Federal and State, it can on
ly be destroyed thsoagli the same
channels, and that by some sort of
political combination diamenically
opposed to the vicious principle nec-
essarily inherent in the policy of the
parties that have created it. With
two dominant political parties con-
trolling the government, both thor
oughly permeated by a large element
favorable to the business, threatening
to desert and destroy the one or the
other party if either dares to aDtago-
nize it, they have each dallied with it
until both stand powerless in its pres
ence, and either one of them ready to
do its bidding for share in its unholy
patronage.
HENCE THERE HAS BEEN NO POLITICAL
PARTY REPRESENTED IN THE HALLS
OF LEGISLATION THAT DARED TO
EXPOSE ITS INFAMY OR ANTAG-
oNIzE ITS TENDENCY.
In order to dodge responsibility,
and at the same time avoid party
strife, shrewd politicians of pretended
morality have given it all the legisla-
tion it wanted, and then falsely sworn
to their constituency that it was here
by natural right and wholly moral
question. And so universally has this
false representation been accepted by
the people that they are now astOnish-

unmitigated falsehOod. There is not
one in a hundred who seems to know
that such a decision has ever been

Yes here is a business involving
hundreds of millions of dollars, vital

cal-of State and nation, foisted upon

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas, the general condition of our cOun-
try imperatively demands unity OF action on
and economy. and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encour-
aging the tOiling masses-leadng them in
the road to prosperity, and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor, a just ex-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
principle that all monOpOlies are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies:
1. To labor for the education Of the agricul-
tural classes in the science of economical gov
ernment In strictly non-partsan spirit and
bring about a more perfect union of said
classes.
2. That we demand equal rights to all, and
special favOrs to none.
8. To endorse the motto: "In things es-
sential, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop a better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
8. To constantly strive to secure entire har
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudiccs, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
Z. The brightest jewels which it gamers, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of brother or sister bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the Or
phans to exercise charity toward all Offenders
to construe words and deeds In their most favor
able light, granting honesty Of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and; Its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life, It's intention is "0n earth,
peace and good will to man."

WHAT is POLITICS ?
Webster saws !:

Webster says: . .f.
"The science of government that
part of ethics which has to do with
the regulation and government of q
nation or State, the preservation of
its safety, peace and prosperity, and
the protection of it's citizens in their
rights, with the preservation and inn
prOyement of their MORALS"
Has the licensed liquor traffic never
had anything to do with our State or
nation with their revenues, safety,
peace and prosperity; with the rights
of citizens who have been damaged
by it's presence, or murdered through
its influence or with the preservation
and improvement of the country s
morals If so, it is as much II pOliti-
cal question as any other, or else
Webster was mistaken. The univer-
sal moral degradation that has attend
ed the march of this accursed pOliti-
cal bastard may have Obscured the ma
ture of it's origin, but it has not
changed it's character. Not only is it
a political question, but it has cor
rupted politics more than all other in
fuences so much so, indeed, that the
most corrupt Williams on the American
continent have bought its way through
political caucuses, through Congress,
and through State legislatures, to a
position above that of the law of hu-
manity and the law of God. If the
moral suasionist will tell us what sort
of moral influence it was that moved
to the accomplishment of this damna-
BILE work we will then hear him on
the nature, and practibility of the
moral influences with which he is go
ing to destroy it.. But until he does
that his position stamps him as an ig-
nOramus on this subject, or as n fawn-
ing sycophant before corrupt politi-
cal power; and whether he be brewer
or bishop, distiller or deacon, saloon
keeper or pastor of Gods flock, he
marshals under the same banner, and
flaunts his arrogant pretentions right
i'm the face of the United States Su-
preme Court, which emphatically de-
clares that the whole liquor licensing

used to say in ancient Greece, and Mr.
Nelson's course on tariff and labor ques-
