to have it hidden before he could pro;

their travelling bar to evade the law
and their bowling mobs but have tie
hearts of the people with me in this
fight"
That's right, Col. Tom, we're with
you," shouted dozen alliancemen.
The democrats showed fight at this
and Livingston and Watson had to show
their good feeling towards each other
to prevent a general pitched battle.
WatsOn's next fire brand was quota
ton from Northens speech in which he
said: $50 home and strike the wife OF
your youth now grown old, strike the
innocent and prattling child at her
knee lifting up her voice in prayer, but
don't strike the grand old democratic
party"
His comments on this made the dem
ocrats mad and the wool hats" hilari-
Gus and there were loud shouts of de-
NAL.
The little Colonel Tom threw open
his coat and vest, barring his breast,and
shouted; I'm not afraid; you never
saw my lip culver nor my face blanch
in the hour of danger"
Bully for you, Col Tom, we're with
you; give it to EN- came from his

Watson then sailed into Livingston,
Northen and Cleveland, and berated
them for their attitude on the free sill

on state banks, but the democrats
howled him down.

Watson seemed to have the crowd in
numbers and he certainly had Il in
their determination to Guido the demo-
Gratis. They had the places next to the
stand. They cared nothing for the
rain and they hated Livingston more
than any other democrat in Georgia,
because they considered him traitor
to the cause Of which he was the father
in the state. They also look upon Wat
son as more than human and because of
his small stature and lack of personal
presence they considerable their special
privilege to protect him from men who
have greater physical power. They, in
their ignorance, considered him one
sent by higher power for their deliv-
erance. They were ready to fight if
necessary, and there were a lot of long
uecked Georgia crackers standing about
with long knives up their sleeves ready
for business.
The knives were the most valuable
property about them and cost more
than the old coats that they wore.
Col. Peck, the peoples party candi-

Conyers, had provided place for the
meeting, and he had his hands full to
prevent rough-and-tumble fight, in

A GOOD JOKE.
The Southern Democratic Papers Appear
to BE In the soup.

The Southern Democratic Papers Appear
to BE In the soup.
The peoples party has made appliea-
ton for the appointment of deputy
United States marshals and supervisors
at the polls in west Tennessee, where
the ballot-box stufiing has been almost
as notorious as in Alabama Marshal
Brown has issued his instructions re-
garding the duty of such marshals and
supervisors, and this has excited the
editors Of the Memphis Appeal and Com
mercial until they are yelling force bill
and negro domination. They denounce
Brown as the worst bulldozer ever in the
Office and assert that this is the worst
order ever issued by a United States
marshal in Tennessee, worse even than
those in the old days when republicans
held control in the state. The Memphis
Commercial calls it "a devilish con-
spiracy and the devilish methods Of re-
publicans which democrats will have 10
meet We may as well prepare for it.
We may as well prepare to be hustled,
pushed and insulted at the polls by
these radical toughs with their drunken
negro hoodlums at their heels" They
declare it a premonition Of the force
bill.
Marshal Brown is not disturbed over
these attacks To him they are huge
joke because he copied the order and
the instructions from Attorney-General
Garland and his marshal in the same
district issued four years ago. He did
not change word. except in the date,
and the terrible republican order which
has frightened the democrats was in
reality issued by democratic marshal,
under Cleveland, who had his instruc-
tions from Attorney-General Garland,
who is the only survivor of the confed-
crate cabinet of jefferson Davis. 1t
was praised four years ago by these
same Memphis editors who are now so
excited. 1t is good example of how
the southern editors get excited over
everything relating to national control
of elections whenever it comes from
those who are not democrats. Special

The coinage value OF an ounce OF pure silver
is Sl2g
Now it will be readily seen that
there is more in free coinage than the
amount of money added TO the circulat-
ing medium, for it measures the value,
or fixes the price of farm products. To
illustrate: The Liverpool market Is
supplied to large extent from India.
India has free coinage of silver and sill
yer is the exclusive currency Of the
country, so England can, and does buy
our bullion at s? Z cents per ounce and
sells the same to India at sl29 per
ounce, thereby making clear profit of
461a cents per ounce, and then invests
this silver in cotton
This is followed by the market re-
ports on cotton from several cities,
which confirms what Mr. Abbott, says:
What is true of cotton is true of
wheat since both are governed by the
same rule.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. lit. +. Glenny &
Co. S report says: "New York opened 3 to 4
points lower and closed II points lower After
the call however. prices were further de-
pressed. The decline in Liverpool is attrib-
uted 10 decline Of sd In silver"
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. ll-Atwood Violete &
Co. S circular says: The decline is owing TO
serious loss in price OF silver which is 4 Of
per cent lower than yesterday"
NEW YORK, Aug. Hubbard, Price & Co.'S
report says: ''The market opened at a decline
of 3 points and during the day continued to de-
cline and the closing was easy at about IA
points decline from last nights figures, because
silver was so weak"
The above would bear careful read

Watson realized that he could precip-
itate a fight and in his opening was
rather mild. He cautioned the crowd
to not cheer nor create disturbance,
and assured his followers that he was
fully able to take care of himself Col.
Livingston also asked the democrats to
keep quiet and allow Col. Watson to
proceed without interruption Watson
made speech of an hour and a half as
an opener, but because of the Interrupt
tons. which could not be prevented, it
required two hours for him to deliver it.
He said he was not there for a fight,
and would not indulge in personalities,
but although Livingston Endorsed that
proposition, it was very much like a
fight in few minutes
Watson's speech was an arraignment
of the democratic party in general. and
of Col. Livingston in particular. He
reviewed the history of the alliance
movement from its beginning, quoted
from the st. Louis platform of 1889,
which was Endorsed by Col. Livingston,
and from the 0cala platform, also in
dorsed by Livingston, to show that
both Livingston and Gov. Northen had
deserted the party that they helped to
create. He openly charged Gov. Northen
with being deserter and of having
been bought. .,..-
Here the democrats cheered for
Northen and said they were proud of
him. Watson waited until both sides
had settled down from what promised
to be a free fight, he and Livingston
both pouring oil on the troubled waters,
and then he proceeded to stir up the
animals again. He proceeded to show
how Northen and Livingston were both
candidates for governor. Northen Sc
cured the nomination, and Livingston
broke with him on the sub-treasury
platform of the alliance. Northen
called that platform anarchy and
Livingston broke with him, but now
both are calling it anarchy. Again the
crowd was ready to fight and both
speakers tried to make the people sit
down. 1t became free discussion be-
tween Livingston, Watson and the
crowd. Livingston yelled to a, big
wool hat" to sit down, and the 'wool
hat" retorted that he would on both
Livington and Northen. Some man
started another disturbance by dis
tributing copies of the Augusta Chron-
icle making a severe attack on Watson.
The wool hats" were ready to mob
him and Livingston induced the man to
go away before he should be put away.
Watson began again, when a large
banner made of roses, with the inscrip-
ton "All honor to Watson" was car

THE SILVER QUESTION.

! IL Is Not a Question OF More Money But If
British domination OF Our Markets.
The effect of cheap silver on the price
OF wheat and cotton is met with ridi-
cule by both the old parties They
claim that the price of oliver bullion
has nothing whatever to do with the
high or low price of these commodities.
Such assumption vanisheS in the light
of cold business facts and the plain
proposition is discerned that silver
must be remonetized or the silver mines
should be sealed up, in order to protect
the industries Of the country. The fol-
lowing, taken from the Truth, Corsi-
cana, Tex. sheds flow of light on this
subject. 1t quotes from Mr.. Abbott's
speech:
Il have with care prepared from Off
cial sources a table showing the com
parative value Of cotton. wheat, corn
and silver as measured by the gold dol
lars from 1872, the year before silver
was demonetized, to the present date.
This very interesting table reveals the
important fact that when silver is de-
preciated or falls below its standard
coming value, in almost the exact pro-
portion the farm products named are
correspondingly deprecated; and this
is the case with other farm products.
Anyone doubling the correctness of the
table can find its verifcation by refer

Foreign Commerce, for the year 1891

we clip the following paragraphs re-

1t would seem that the Kansas City
Star, if it had any regard for the truth,
should at least admit that there are
other issues in this campaign besides
the tariff, and apologize for publishing
the following stupid editorial:
Mr.. Weaver, the populist presidential candi-

done what was expected Of him In speech
at Atlanta he broke out with the statement
that there is no such thing as free speech in the

man Of the democratic state central committee

him in making any utterance he cared to make
Mr.. Weaver had little else TO say except TO re-

which Mr.. Weaver INDUCED himself in is non

that they resist it The invasion" of the late

The occasion of the gathering was a
joint debate between Congressman
Thomas E. Watson, candidate for re-
election upon the populist ticket, and
Congressman Livingston, who was
elected to congress as an allianceman
by alliance votes and who is now can
didate upon the Bourbon democratic
ticket.
The Inter Oceans correspondent
says:
The meeting took place at Conyers.
small town about twenty-five miles
east OF Atlanta. 1t was to be the great
event of the Georgia campaign. It was
a cold, rainy day, but the wool hat
boys care nothing for rain and mud.
They turned out in force and some of
them started out after their chores
were done Sunday night to get there in
time to secure places close about the
stand and protect their third party.
Evangel White preached the new gospel
of deGyerance for the south.
Col. Livingston took large special
train load of pure democracy from At
lanta to see that he had fair play and
to cheer for him against the wool hat
boys. His friends brought another
special train from Augusta, in Watson's
district They had to import dyed in
the wool democracy from all the sur
rounding towns to feel assured that
they would have fair and even chance
with the alliancemen who are to be
found in all the cabins dotting north
Georgia, and WHO look to Weaver and
Watson to give them ub-treasury leg
legislation, $50 per capita and freedom
from their present struggle.
The champions, Watson and Living
ston, met at the little hotel in Conyers
and the latter spoke of declaring the de-
bate off because of the rain. and the
lack of hall room to accommodate the
crowd of about 5000, who were stand.
ing out in the wet But the wool hat
fellows did not care for the rain. and
demanded that the fight proceed. Wat
son was ready, Livingston had to be,
and they went out to the little grove,
where most of the people had already
assembled. They left it to vote as to
whether the debate should be held and
the crowd voted yes with a vengeance.
Col Watson opened his grip got out
