THE PEOPLES PARTY PAPER.

Friends, we ask you to do all you
can for us in the way of new sub
scribers. We have given you first
class weekly paper for nearly year
at a dead loss of over $4,000. All
this burden has fallen on Mr.. Wat
son. He has not only lost $4,000 on
the paper, but has given it eight
months work free Of charge.
Won't you do your share in the
reform work by aiding us?
We have had to contend with
very many difficulties, and have done
the very best we could.
In the future we hope there will
be less complaint about the mail, for
we are exerting every energy to rec
tify every mistake.
The joint debates outlined by
Mr.. Watson will appear regularly in
this paper, geographically reported
by Mr.. Driscol. No other paper in
the State has them.
Help US friends. Each ought to
do his part in this noble work.

A New NOVEL by Hon. Ignatius Dom
nelly, and chance to help i.
the Peoples Party. 4
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly has lustwrit-
ten new book, novel, entitled "IHB
GOLDEN BOTTLE"
He has prepared this romance with .
view to helping the Peoples Party
movement; not only by making the
story illustrate the great questions OF
the day~the land-loan, the demonet1-'
cation of silver, government ownership
of railroads, and the universal era Of
reform that will follow in the footsteps
of the triumph of the Peoples Party;
but also by arranging with MS publish
ers and cutting down profits from the
price OF every book sold by orders sent
to the undersigned, SO that ot1e-half the
purchase price will go to the Campaign
Fund of the Peoples Party. That Is
to say, if any person orders the book
from our Committee, and sends S1.2o
for bound copy, or 90 cents for copy
in paper covers, One-half OF the amount
so sent will be turned into the cam
paign fund of the Peoples Party OF the
United States, to be used in dlstrlbuG-
ing documents and paying expenses OF
speakers, and the other half will be
sent to the publishers, who will for
ward the book, by mail, TO the pur-
chasers, prepaid.
Those who have read the book IN
manuscript, say that it is wonderfully
interesting story, based on an original
conception and putting forth very
singular and remarkable ideas. 1t 1t
has anything like the sale of Mr.. Dom
nelly's other books, it will yield a'large
revenue to the Peoples Party. We
urge every friend of the cause not only
to subscribe himself, but TO request his
friends and neighbors to do so. They
will get a book at the regular price,
which they would probably desire TO
buy ANYHOW, and besides helping along
the campaign of the Peoples Party.
Let every one help in this good work.
Remember that this is not done to Sc
cure a sale for the book, for it will sell
ANYHOW. but to help the cause OF Re-
form. even at the risk of lessening the
sale OF the book in other quarters.
"THE GOLDEN BOTTLE" will not be
ready for two or three weeks, but send
in names and money at once. There Is
likely to be great demand for copies
of the book, and they will be sent out
in the order in which the names are
receivad-frst come first served. Be
sure to write your name and postof1ce
plainly. Address

A Foul Blot.

Virginia Sun.
Distressing news comes from Geor-
gia. General Weaver has been gross
y insulted and wantonly outraged.
He had eenTcomnissioned by hun
dreds Of thousands of the people of
the West to bear their greeting and
message Of good will to their broth
ers in the SouthS and his words of
peace have been cast back in his
teeth, and the hand Of friendship
spurned. 10 gee
It makes the honest and loyal
heart bleed that men whose interests
are the same, whose welfare and hap
piness depend upon their coming TO-
gether, should yet be kept apart by
the preiudices and passions Of time
worn and hideous3 Partisanry.
Is the war neverG to be ended !?
Are the South and West never to be
united? Is New England greed to
continue to drain every other sec
ton? And all because a certain lump
of New York avoirdupois desires to
hold down the Presidential chair. AS
things are now going, the Democrat
ic party is becoming the party of in
tolerance and brute force, before
which the painted horrors Of the
Lodge bill pale intoiihsignifcance.
The press is largely responsible for
this deplorable exhibition Of savage
ry on the part of Georgian hoodlums.
These creatures are necessarily cow
ards, and Id no sense represent the
real people Of that State, who are the
peers of any people in chivalry and
courtesy. But che press for weeks
past have been working upon the
prejudices and ihaaming the passions
of an impressionable1 people, and all
for partisana purposes. We charge
that these Georgia toughs would new
er have dafedol68 1scandalize public
opinion by their 2dastardly outrages,
had they not been egged on and sup
ported by the Cleveland press Of that
State, and the Cleveland managers
are the real cuipFits.
There is something of the same
lawless spiriS abroad in this State
and city, and Welwarn the Democrat
is press ana politicians to have care
how they iRfian4e the like incendiary
and barbarous passions.
We note with pleasure, however,
that the Times denounces these out
RACES in unmeasured terms, thus al
lowing its better Judgment to assert
itself on the approach Of General
Weaver this city, The Dispatch,
as usual, utters it's milk and water
platitudes,0 swhile the little State
blows its penny whistle to the tune
Of .eaurrah for the Georgia braves,
who insulted lady."e 1t is one Of
the blessings Of civilization that so
few people read "ouramore or less
esteemed contemporary"
