Here they are :
Observation-Disclosures.

L. Reform or relief must come, il
vt comes at all, through change OF
those governmental policies which
ssaqe produced the wrongs from which
we seek relief.
g. A change of policies requires a
change of rulers; and our only way
of changing rulers is through ballot
boxes, by votes.
8. A change of rulers to be effec
tive Involves the necessity Of electing
10y votes President and both houses
Of Congress, who are the avowed
and known opponents of the men
who have inflicted the wrongs upon
the country,
4. There is no hope Of electing
such President and such Congress
except by the united votes of all the
friends of reform.
S. If we can ascertain with GER
tainty what party is responsible for
the wrongs of which we complain,
we.shall have located beyond doubt
M enemies of reform and of relief.
10 ate the men who perpetrated the
wrongs and you locate those upon
whom it is your duty to make war.
Perhaps you are a little rusty
on the rules of building "Maxims,"
Senator.
They are a ticklish sort of furni-
turo unless they are built right.
One of the very first precepts in
regard to constructing maximsis that
YOU should not build them "bottom
upwards" No we'll regulated family

forms to that homely but sensible re-
Quirement, Fright end up, with care >
You say that change of policies
requires a change of Rulers. In other
words you mean that no change OF
governmental policy can be had until
Rulers have been changed.
This rs just exactly the reverse OF
true
No Ruler ever changed a policy
unless the election of such Ruler was
due TO the fact that he represented
tue changed policy demanded 10y the
people. Deny it if you can. Popu-
lar pressure changes policies. Rulers
are always in favor of letting things

FORMS.
Thomas Jefferson profoundly dis
trusted Hamilton and his school OF
,ciass-favoring aristocrats.
What did he do?
He formulated a policy in opposi-
ton and appealed to the people to
sustain him in that policy.
At first he failed. The Hamilton
crowd put forth Adams and beat JEFF
ferson.
But Jefferson kept pressing his
doctrines upon the people. 1t is
somewhat curious to note that Jeffer-
son himself says that the Hamilton
laris5ocrats denounced him as ''Dem-

was the best chance you ever had to
show that you were at heart the friend
of the people; to show that you were
opposed to the policy (which had en-
riched gigantic corporations" to
show that you did not favor the poll
CIV which encouraged extravaganza
and corruption in high places at
Washington
How did you improve the chance?
You give the people Taffy-unlim-'
tied gush and Taffy. To the Sgigan-
tic corporations" you gave-your
vote!
In'that Congress 1878 Democrats
had majority in both Houses. -
With the balance Of your letter,
there is no need to bother. The
Force Bill was killed by the Western
Republican Senators who dared not
disobey the Alliance Resolutions of
Ocala.
When a South hater like Ingalls,
was pitched out of the United States
Senate, every child knew that the.
West was giving the noblest proof
that she pleaded for friendship with
the South.
Nothing but the unprincipled false
hoods of paid politicians and bribed
newspapers (both North and South)
can ever again keep the Western
and Southern farmers and laborers
from seeing that their interests are
the same.
Now word to you, SenatoF
You served your country nobly in
war; nobly have you been rewarded
for it. Time after time you have
been elevated to the highest offices
where your devotion to the people
had the Hottest scope.
What have you ever done for the
battered and broken soldiers who
have SO spendidly kept you in clover
since the war.
Thousands of privates in the ranks
did their duty just as nobly as you
did. To-day they are crushed by in
famous laws which we now know the
Democratic party helped to pass.
We now know that the controlling
Influences of the Democratic party
have for the mass of our working
people nothing but scorn and con-
tempt; nothing but the desire to use
their votes while they fatten on their
toll.
You challenged US to 90 to the Rec
Ords!
| took up the gauntlet and | went
to the Record.
You asserted that the Democrats
were not responsible for the legisla-
ton which you, yourself, denounced
as Infamous.
/ have shown that your statement
is not the correct one.
| have shown that in each instance
the law you denounced could not
have passed without Democratic aid.
Further than that l have shown
that the Democrats have had all the
''chance" they should ask; that they
have never SO much as tried to re-
heve the people; that you, yourself,
are guilty of having neglected the
suffering people who had honored
you, and that you, yourself, cast one
of the worst votes that ever was cast
for the millionaire corporations
against the people.
Now IN spite OF this, you ask lis to
sit down tamely and give you more
time
Not SO, by the Splendor of God!
You have had your time. The
people have been Knocked, deluded,
defrauded,plundered, and outraged by
old party schemes and tricks as long
as they intend to be!
We are going as Jefferson did to
the source of Democratic power-the
people!

ton; was not giving special privi-
lege; was not giving bounties on
wealth at the expense of Labor.
Oh no. it was ~broad-minded
craftsmanship" Of the Tammany Hall,
silver plated, silk undershirt sort.
Gifts OF countless millions to the
Plutocratsl Gifts of abuse and ridi-
cule to the Laborers!
Yes Democrats did it and the Rec
ord is there to condemn them in the
eyes of posterity forever.
Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the yea and nay vote by which
it was done.
Many an honest old Democratic
farmer will read these names with
amazement, and will rub his eyes and
look again to see if indeed his inter
ests were so neglected by the men he
trusted.
The citizens who paid that money
into the Treasury were laughed at
when they asked the poor privilege
of borrowing some of their own hard
earned cash. They were denounced
as socialists, demagogues, and fools.
The Bondholders who had paid
none Of that money into the Treasu-
ry asked it as gift they got it.
Yet at that very time the men who
were refused the loans were almost on
the brink of starvation while those
who were granted the gift had riches
beyond the dreams of Aladdin
INCOME TAX. ~
But let us proceed with the ''locat-
ing" You alluded to the Income
Tax and you ask who repealed it!
Senator, you never asked a more
unfortunate question.
You certainly were going it blind
when you fell into such a pit.
On Jan. 26, 1871, that law was re-
pealed. 1t was shame to do so. The
vote in the Senate was very close
26 to %. One vote would have saw
ed the people from the outrage of ex-
empting the Plutocrats from Taxa
ton.
How many Democrats voted with
the millionaires to relieve them from
Taxation?
Seven. Among them, was Bayard
-Cleveland's Secretary of State.
One Democratic vote would have
saved the day and here were Seven
Democratic Senators fighting on the
wrong side
But the worst yet remains.
25 votes were cast against the mil
lionaires.
How many Of these were Demo
cratic!
Only two!
The balance were Republicans
Only nine Democrats voted and out
Of the nine only two stood by the
rights of the people.
Oh, Senator, Records are awkward
things. In this case the proof knocks
your letter into a cooked hat.
When the law repeating the In
come Tax reached the House it pass
ed without yea and nay vote. There
were not enough Democrats opposed
to it to demand the yeas and nays.
How does the '4ocating" suit you,
Senator? ----
Does it not show that both old par
ties have Record which must bring
the flush Of shame to the student who
examines it?
Do you wonder that we who are
discovering these things for the first
time should be utterly disguised with
the baseness shown in the old party
records and should exclaim:
GA plague on both your houses"

HON. JOHN b. GORDON,

43As published a long letter on the po-
sit;cal situation.
He admits that the people have
boen shamefully robbed in the name
Of the Law but he says the Republi-
can party did it all.
He takes no blame whatever to
tbe Democratic party, and least OF
all, does he take any blame to him
self?
With his usual modesty he thumps
shrnseif upon the chest and says:
''The public records prove that nc
snlan in this whole union has longer,
or more consistently and persistently
sabored for the reforms and the relief
which the people need and ought tc
SECURE"
This is "a proud boast. Happy is
the statesman who can truthfully say
80 much for himself.

however, let us give passing notice

aidrniiity, labels

Because he hated National Banks.
Because he hated Glass Privileges.
Because he hated Standing Army.
Because he hated the Tariff. Because
he was opposed to a binding of fu-
tre generations by Government
Bonds and Funding Systems which,
in effect, mortgaged all the National
wealth to the few for generations to

JEFFERSON A NEW PARTY MAN.
Jefferson did not hide these views
till he should get in office. He had
no faith in the Rulers doing anything
unless the people compelled them for
ward. Hescould not anticipate what
your views upon the NMaxim" ques-
ton would be.
Therefore he went upon the com
mon sense idea that the people were
/ the soVereigns. His plan was to get
the people right first-he knew that
the Rulers would then fall into line.
III other words he started to building
his house at the basement and not at
the top. The poor old common sense
denagogue had not dreamed of your
new way of building the top Of the
house first.
He announced his policy; educated
the people up to it; sustained a de-
feat rather than hide or wait, and
then (the people having become we'd
ed to his policy the Rulers were
elected pledged to carry out these
policies. That is our plan exactly.

show how ignorant Jefferson was of
modern, Tammany Hall Democratic
methods.
GORDON HARD ON JEFFERSON.
Ii this instance does not complete
~ show that as ssMaxim" maker
you are rather out of practice, it does
show that Jefferson was as much of a
fraud as the Aristocrats thought he
was.
INDICTING THE CRIMINALS.
In your 9th "Maxim'' you say;
'Locate the men who perpetrated
the wrongs and you locate those upon
whom it is your duty to make war.
All right, Senator. Let's get down
to business and locate these men
then you must help us to knock 'em
| blind.
NATIONAL BANKS.
Won first mention National Banks
aud your words Of condemnation are
strong.
This is encouraging. The copy Of
your letter which / am thus good hui
moredIy ripping up was printed in
that we'll known Journal, the Angus
ia Chronicle. Last year spoke near
Augusta; denounced the system Of
National Banks; and upon the next
day the Chronicle was pretty full Of
denunciations hurled at me because |
was "demagogue" enough to criticise
National Banks.
Some change seems to have come
over the dreams of various people
and the indications are that even the
Augusta Chronicle is about to get
sleep driven away from its heavy eye
lids.
But to the Record! The National
Bank System was created by law in
1862. Charters granted under it
were to run for 90 years. But the
Government expressly reserved the
right to amend or repeal the law.
Both Democrats and Republicans
united in passing the act.
You became a member of the Sen
ate in 1878.
You remained in the Senate till
you made that resignation i'll 1880.
What effort did you make to re-
peal this law which you SO strongly
denounce?
What effort did your party make
in that direction?
1t was within your power to have
made gallant assault upon the Law
and to have Nd your Democratic
friends fO Yea and nav vote which

SILVER.


ton of Silver. That party is guilty
and swift should be its political dam
nation for that crime.
But the Democrats were, as usual,
accomplices. In each and every in
stance the Record discloses the start
ling fact that the Money Power was
manipulating both old parties.
Silver was demonetized by two
acts of Congress-one passed in 1873
and The other in 1874.
challenge you to show to the peo-
pie of Georgia that the Democrats
made any fight against either Law.
challenge you to show that any
Democratic leader denounced the
outrage at the time and led his party
into struggle against it.
You took your seat in the Senate
Dec. 1873. You were there when
the Law Of 1874 riveted the chains
of John Sherman and the money
kings upon our people.
Why was your eloquent voice 81
lent?
Why was there no rallying note
sounded upon "Rhoderick's bugle
horn?"
1t is fair question, upon a subject
Of high national import.
Answer me, Senator! SO far as
the Record shows, both Democrats
and Republicans harmonized in strik-
ing down Free Silver.
4. sQUANDERING THE SURPLUS.
You next speak of s'the monstrous
imposition upon the toilers" resulting
from squandering the surplus.
What was the surplus?
It was cruel, excessive taxation
which broug ht into the Treasury
more money than the govern .at
needed.
Who did the Surplus belong to?
All the Tax Payers. All the Peo-
pie.
What did the Democrats do with
it?
They gave $60,0OO,0O0 of it to the
bondholders as premiums upon bonds
not due.
Did the bondholders pay any Of
that tax into the Treasury?
Not a cent.
Their property was exempt.
Yet the Democrats gave $60,0O0,-
900 Of our tax money to the class
which pays no tax.
How much did they give to the
farmers, Iaborers, merchants, mechan-
les, etc., who had paid that money
into the Treasury.
Not a cent?
This Democratic policy was car
ried out under Cleveland. Mr.. Mills
Of Texas, led the Democratic forces
in the House.
That Surplus could have been di-
vided among the States could have
been devoted to the schools; could
have been distributed among the peo-
pie in loans upon good security at
fair interest.
About the time this $6O,000,000
gift to the bondholders was being
originated, the farmers Of Texas were
knocking at the doors of Congress
and asking for loans upon lands.
They were kicked out. Loans on
lands were communistic, unconstitu-
tional and Undemocratic. Nobody
but demagogue would advocate a
law to lend farmers money on land
said our Democratic Silver-plated
statesmen.
So, having q surplus on hand they
refused to lend it to the farmers at
reasonable interest. They preferred
to give it to Bondholders as prem
iums on bonds not due. S59,000,000
Of the Surplus was being used at that
time by Cleveland's pet Banks as
a loan without interest.
To allow this favoritism was
''broadminded craftsmanship"
To do this was not communistic /;
not unconstitutional; not undemo-
cratic.

RECHARTERING.

In 1882 the Banks were recharter-
ed, Democratic Senators like Ran
som, Call, Hampton, Jonas, Morgan
of Alabama, and German Of Mary
land, voted for tin the Senate.
In the House, such a Third Party
hater as Oates of Alabama, voted
with the Banks. This act of 1882
expressly provided that Congress
might at any time repeal the charter.
Since 1882 if any attempt has been

In spite of this cowardice your pa
pers have the cheek to say the Peo-
Piles Party lodges the Tariff.
We "dodged'' it by saying Reye-
nues should be raised by Income
Taxes thus abolishing the Custom
Taxes altogether.
Further on in your letter the fol
lowing occurs:
