TO OUR COLORED FRIENDS.

We are glad to see so many of
the intelligent colored people taking
an interest in this paper. 1t means
well for them, and it means well
for us.
The Peoples party is doing
great work for their race. It says
to the world in the plainest terms
that the time has come to give the
negro fair play. 1t means to stand
by him in what is just under the law
It means to appeal to HIM as a voter
and as a citizen on all public issues.
The question of color will not keep
us from giving him free ballot and
a lair count, just as we claim it for
ourselves. It was On this line that
MIR. Watson made his campaign. Il
was for this policy, of equal political
rights to the negro, that he was most
bitterly opposed. But he stands to
the same position to-day and will
continue TO do so.
This paper will make the fight Of
the future Just as it was made In the
last campaign.
Hence every colored man in Geor-
gia should be the friend Of this pa
per and should do all in his power to
increase It's circulation. He will be
doing good service for himself and
for his race. T. E. W.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The Georgia Legislature has fin
ished its ffty-day session and ad-
journed. The body was overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, there being but
fourteen Peoples party members
and but two Republicans in the
House, and but one Peoples party
and no Republican senator. A
larger number of the opposition were
really elected, but the Democrats
controlled the election machinery
and the conscience of the Legisla-
ture.
The increase of 100000 for the
public schools was the most notable
and the best act of the General As
sembly. Though greatly insufficient,
100000 per annum, added to the
$4,000 derived from the leese Of
the Western & Atlantic railroad, is
supplemented in many parts Of the
State until in the cities and towns
the sessions embrace several months,
but in many country places the dis
bursement is totally inadequte.
Hence the exodus from country to
town.
The proposition to sell the states
bonds for sufficient sum to pay
teachers was very properly repudi-
ated. Any proposition to issue
bonds, on any pretense whatevers it
is to be hoped will never materialize
in Georgia. The Assembly neg
lected, however, to abrogate the
teachers institute, the greatest drain
upon the childrens' educational 1e-
sources of the State.
The Assembly could not rise to
the occasion and declare against ap-
preparations for the summer en-
campments. A slight reduction was
made, however, for which the people
will be duly grateful. Until the sim
full extravaganza of military estab-
ishment is fully copprehended, this
method of expenditure will doubtless
be a favorite method of comforting
administrative favors,
The efforts to in some manner dis
courage railroad combinations all
came to grief. Not, however, with
out calling to Atlanta strong lobby
and the attendance of prominent
railway investors and manipulators'
The big guns of plutocracy came,
and they saw" and conquered.
The investigation into the charges
against Judge Gober resulted in bis
vindication, but It was such a vlndi-
cation as will not arouse particular

THE PANAMA CANAL STENCIL AND
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The stencil in France seems to be
growing worse. The scandal not
only takes in most of the newspa
pers, the spectators, the bankers
and the legislators, but also mem
bers of the presidents cabinet and of
his family.
It seems that everybody was will
ing to take bribe-httle and big,
old and young, high and low.
A most sickening state of things |!
VIII anybody be punished for
stealing the money of the people in
this wholesale manner?
Probably so. They will select a
few of the rascal who have little
money or influence, and pile it on to
them pretty heavy. But the big
bugs will never be touched. Such
men as DeLesseps and Rouvier and
the Carnots are too strong for the
law.
In the meanwhile the honest mer-
chants, farmers and laborers who
were defrauded in the great Panama
swindle, have no redress whatever.
The wheels have passed over them,
and they must endure the lot Of the
victims as best they can.
AT this very moment similar
schemes are being laid in this counr
try. The Nicaragua canal Is the
name Of the job. It aims to do on a
waterway what was done on the
Pacific railways. It aims to have
the people Through congressman
give sixty millions of dollars to a
monster corporation. In other
words, the American taxpayers are
to give one dollar per head (count,
ing men, women and children) to a
lot Of money-klngs to enable them to
construct another great line of trans
portation with which they will con-
troll commerce, levy tribute upon
labor by unjust freight rates and die
tate legislation by keeping corrupt
lobbyists and newspapers in their pay.
The plans are we'll under way.
Certain newspapers are booming the
project. Certain public men are ad-
vocating it-notably John Sherman
and Senator Morgan.
Cleveland favors it, and SO does
Harrison.
Let the people look out. More
money will be stolen from the treas
ury under this colossal grab than has
been lost since the Pacific railroad
robberies.
It may not be as big a job as that
of the Panama canal, but it is just as
rotten. T. E. w.

Echoes From the Eighth.

The Peoples Party is not such a
will O. the wisp as the JORGE class of
politicians said it was. We ars not
dead yet by full yard. Notwith-
standing we have been defeated
twice, we are stronger in conviction
and in number than we were the
first day of our existence one year
ago.
No amount of Democratic buff
foonery will be sufficient to drive
the Peoples party from Gilbert coun-
ty. The pop-gun and peanut politi
clans may run their SANDER mills,
malign our leaders, troduce our plat
form and vent their nefarious spleen
at the party in general, but we are
here, solid as Glbralta.
The Peoples party of the two
hundred and first district of Ebert
county has nominated candidate
for Justice of the peace and two
bailiffs, which will surely be elected,
notwithstanding the fact Democrats
killed one man and shot two others
for the objectionable crime Of voting
the Peoples party ticket. This will
give you some idea of the scathing
ordeal which we have passed through
In the recent elections. But we are
more bouyant, more hopeful, more
determined than ever.
We will have a grand Peoples
Party rally at the Butler academy
on Friday, December the both. The
Goshen String band will furnish
music for the occasion. Every man,
woman and child is cordially invited
to come. The meeting will be ad-
dressed by Mr.. J. S. Coward. Thos.
House, Esq, and Colonies Lonk and
W. M. Hairston. These are speak
ers Of marked ability, and breezy
time is in store for the people of this
section. at this meeting there will
be large club raised for the Pro
Plies PARTY PAPER. We are just
splitting on our hands now for the
next fight.
At every step of progress some
iron-hearted monster has been ready
to shout 'streason."
No good man ever espoused the
cause of the plain people but that
some Nero stood ready to send a
bullet through his heart for wishing
to better the condition of the COM
mon country. Gen. Weaver was
hung in efigy in our county and
shot into doll rags. We do not sym
pathize with Gen. Weaver, for he
doesn't need it; but we do most
deeply sympathize with the poor
boobies who are so blinded by
prejudice as to thus forget their own
interests.
Nearly every little tooth pick
weekly newspaper we pick up has
some fallacious charge against Mr..
Watson, the object of which is to
prejudice the minds Of the people
against the Peoples party. We
know Mr.. Watson. We have tried
him and he has. proved true. In
honor he is rich. In integrity and
in brains he is a millionaire. When
these little nafrow-gauged defamerS
are lost in the dust of oblivion all
Americans will honor the name Of
tom Watson.

all things we like to know where we
are at.
By this time, Mr.. Crisp had made
up his mind that he was not in it at
all. The sufferings of man who
has come to make speech, and who
is not asked to make it, are not to be
treated with levity. 1t is q serious
situation. It requires fortitude like
unto that of the ancient Spartans.
More especially when the speech
has been sent to all the newspapers,
and has been beautifully pulled in
advance by our own pet and peculiar
puffer.
Well, as Mr.. Crisp did not seem to
attract any notice by walking around
and hunting his overcoat, he finally
came back to the table and gloomily
listened to the balance of the
speeches.
Then the thing broke up. Even,
terrapin stews can't last forever. He
sent Barrett out to stop the newspa-
pers from printing his eloquent
speech. He countermanded the puff.
Too late. The speech came out next
morning and flew all over the land {!
Just think of it! A brilliant speech
at the great terrapin stew by Mr..
Crisp, when in fact Mr.. Crisp was
not asked to speak at all. Not even
given a chance to show how he
escould have fout."
The orator who was to be pulled,
and the puffer who was carried along
to do the JOB, left New York next
morning, bright and early. Moder-
ately bright and exceedingly early!
They were mad. They were in
hurry. They wanted fresh air and
more elbow room. They wanted
time to lean on one another and re-
feet.
Yesterday the dreadful news got
all over Washington, and, [ tell you,
we big bugs were excited. We felt
that things were taking such turn
that no man could safely say where
he was at.
So this morning, when Mr.. Crisp
assembled to the Speakers chair, we
decided TO loc&te ourselves and get
our moorings by clapping hands and
cheering. This we did. It cleared
the atmosphere considerably. 1t did
us good. It was one of the cheap
est of remedies we could prescribe
for the agonies of man who suffers
from an undelivered speech. Sup
pressed eloquence is sometimes dam
gerous. SO is suppressed puff. In
this case we big bugs are all hoping
that our clapping of hands will bring
to speedy convalesoence the orator
who got no chance to crate and the
puffer who did not puff.
In the mean time, us big bugs are
in a frame of mind which will not
tolerate any nonsense. If anybody
should crook the irreverent finger at
US and break out into a mere disre-
spectful, aggravating and premedi-
tated laugh, we would hurt him.
We would indeed.
Us big bugs can't be expected to
stand everything.
The man who allowed Mr.. Crisp's
overcoat to go home with him, had
better look out for himself.
Crisp and Barrett, the puffee and
the puffer, are mad about this thing
and they have already said that
enough of thing is enough.

People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-12-23

A great many people are blaming
me for not making a speech at the
Tariff Reform Banquet in New York.
They should not do SO.
In the first place, was afraid I
would lose my overcoat.
In the second place, the other fell
lows had hired all the buffers and I
couldn't engage one.
In the third place, was afraid
that after publishing my speech in
the newspapers as actually delivered,
| might not be invited to make it.
[ felt that this would cause me to
look ridiculous to the eyes of all hu-
man beings.
In the fourth place, even if I had
succeeded in securing the services of
one of the very best of professional
buffers, and got him to travel all the
way to New York with his puff kept
on the fire, all warm and ready, there
might not be anything to puff. I
knew that this would harrow my
feelings and mortify my puffer.
In the fifth place, I was not in
vited. By some strange oversight
they invited Tom Johnson, when I
just as good as know they meant me.
This was a stupid blunder and
brought its own punishment. Tom
johnson made speech which has
stirred up strife. 1t has well nigh
arrayed one class against another.
1t has inherent tendencies to excite
the country against the towns. 1t
will perhaps keep our people from
coming together again.
This is bad. Plague take it all!
Somehow, it looks like somebody is
always doing something, in some
place or other, which ought to be
done somewhere else!
Had the invitation come straight
along to me, as was intended, this
trouble would not have come upon
us. I can prove this by Pleas Sto-
vail. T. Z. w.

the worker, and constantly eXacts
more of his work.
Few country merchants are max
ing any money. The fires which
have desolated the country are
swiftly whirling toward the towns.
Only the man who buys on short
time, in small quantities and sells
quickly and for cash, is keeping
ahead.
Ask your stubbornest Democratic
merchant if this isn't so. Then ask
him why it is SO.
That merchant who buys large
stocks of goods, carries them for long
periods and sells them Gu credit
finds 1t harder to meet the end of the
year than ever before. Ask him if
this isn't so, and then ask him why.
The commodity shrinks and the
dollar swells.
That's what's the matter, and our
merchants will all see it some OF
these days.
Instead of hating us, abusing us
and ridiculing us, the merchants OF
the country ought to bid US God
speed. We are fighting for their
homes and fresides as well as our
own. T. E. w.

SWEET AND THE saLvEs clU..

Congressman Sweet addresses M
N. Sweet, Corresponding Secretary
OF tho Clayton idaho Silver Club. a.
follows.
DEAR SIR. Some time since I had
the pleasure Of receiving the resolu.
tions printed by the Clayton Free
Coinage Silver Club. l greatly ap-
Prsc'ate the personal compliment ex-
pressed 10 the last resolution. by
no means clam to rank with men like
Senator Teller; but | none the less
value this kindly recognition, coming,
- it does, from those for whom 1
have done my utmost in the great
contest we are now waging for the
remonetization Of silver.
l thought realized the full i'm.
portancs of this question when /
came here; but did not. Your res
olutions do not exaggerate it in the
least. The nature of the struggle no
man can, in my judgment, fully un-
derstand who does not meet the ene-
my face to face. 1t was generally
conceded that we would have q ma
jority of at least fifty for the Bland
bill, but when the actual test came
We could not pass it At all. The rea-
sons | cannot undertake to discuss in
a letter. 1t might be proper to add,
however, that the lobby sent here to
defeat the silver bill was, as ola men,
bers of the House testify, the strong
est that has been seen at the Capitol
since the war. Draw your own con-
;lusions. and doubt if you will make
any mistake. Keep up the fight! 1t
is struggle for home, country, equal
ity, if not freedom itself. Again
thanking you for your courtesy, l beg
to remain.
Yours for the war,
Willis SWEET.

SQUAW CREEK ITEMS.

Everything Is lovely on Upper
Squaw creek. Rain has come after
two weeks of persistent prayer.
Who for moment would be SO skept-
ical as to doubt the efficacy of prayer?
G. Fl. Holbrook started for Caldwell
a few days ago. He has already
shout forty tons of alfalfa and sun
flower hay in the stack, and several
tons of wheat ready to stack.
Jimmy Ballantyne has twelve tons
of alfalfa hay cut and in nice shape
tor the rain to soak.
B. F. Shepard is ready to begin
cutting hay, but says he will wait un-
til the rain these prayerful people
have brought on the good people OF
Squaw creek is over.
Geo. w. Perron wears a proud,
complacent smile over the result of
his new find. We acknowledge we
were trying to poke fun at him about
his prospecting, but 10, and behold,
1t has turned on us and everybody
wishes it were he who had struck the
great bonanza gold, silver and cop
per ledge instead of Mr.. Perron; but
he deserves it, for there never was a
more energetic and persevering pros
pector in the Squaw creek hills. Hi:
find is near the summit between
Squaw creek and High valley. Abou
ten years ago prospector found
piece of float from this same ledg'
AID he worked two months hunting
for the vein, but failed to find it.

A GOOD many miners in this section
who have been members OF unions

for the actions of the so-called union
in the Ceur d'Alenes. They say it
is a disgrace on the name of unions
to call it such, and they are right,
1t is a union only in one sense-not a
miners union, but a union of robbers
and assassins. 1t is right tnat miners
