THURSDAY, APRIL %, 1892.

Moses and Livingston were elected on
the ST. Louis platform Of 1890, which de-
clared for government ownership of rail
roads, and the Alliance emphatically
urged the members not TO vote for any
one who did not stand on every plank of
it. Both these men urged the same thing
on the stump all through their canvas
for election to congress. Now they de-
nounce what they then commended.
What has caused the change? Is is
it malaria? They say the flats about
Washington are full of malaria. Can it
be that malaria produces such changes
in mems opinions, or are there other in
huences about Washington that produce
such results on men who are delegated
by the people to represent them at the
National capital2 Such things appear
strange to common people and ought to
be inquired into.

HON. THOS. e. VIM.

The Augusta Chronicle, to convict
Mr.. Winn of inconsistency, insin-
cerity, &C., publishes letter he
wrote to friend in February to the
effect that he was opposed to the
Peoples Party upon the ground that
the relief of the people was best
attainable through the Democratic
party.
At the time this letter was written
[ have no doubt that Mr.. Winn
honestly entertained the opinion
therein expressed.
1t must be borne in mind, how
ever, that it was the action of a
Democratic House on the Silver Bill
which convinced Mr.. Winn of the
uselessness Of waiting longer for that
party to redeem its pledges of Re-
form.
The vote on the Silver Bill was
not taken till about the middle of
March. It's results created universal
surprise. With a majority of 148
votes the Democrats refused to pass
the Bill.
Then Mr.. Winn saw that the peo-
pie must look elsewhere for recovery
OF their just rights and he acted
accordingly.
For myself I believe he has acted
honestly and conscientiously.

The Democrats are playing sharp
tricks to get crowds out at their
meetings. They advertise a Joint
discussion when they know none has
been arranged for and then accuse
the Peoples Party of not daring to
come to time. This is as disrepu-
table as their false and exaggerated
statements of their own strength
and the size of their audiences.
We advise our readers to paw no
attention to their pretended Joint
discussions unless they are informed
on reliable authority that there are
to be such. Don't give your enemy
a club to beat you over the head
with.
If the Peoples Party men keep
away from Democratic meetings we
can easily tell where the majority of
the voters are.

The Democrats say there was no use
passing the silver bill as the Senate
would defeat or the President veto it if
passed by the House. Well, what, then,
is the use of fooling away time on tariff
bills? Wont the Senate or the President
defeat any good tariff measure also?
Oh, yes, says the Democrats, but we
want to put ourselves on record as favor
ing and the Republicans as opposing a
reduction of the tariff.
Why, then, did you not put yourselves
on record in favor of free silver and force
the Republicans on record as against it
The anwer is plain it was because
you yourselves were not in favor Of free
silver.

Again we say, do not pay money
to your enemies to fight you with.
The Constitution, of Atlanta, is con-
stantly, persistantly and Intentionally
sending out false reports both of
their meetings and of ours, of their
speakers and of ours, and in every
way possible seeking to destroy both
the Alliance and the Peoples Party.
Its pretended friendship is a sham !;
its smile the smile of a cycophant !;
its pretenso of favoring your views a
trick to hold your confidence while
it transfers your vote to your enemy
that your home and your liberty may
follow your vote. Shun it; spit
upon it; refuse it entrance into your
house. Pay no money to it or to
any other plutocratic paper for any
purpose whatever. Be as wise as
are your opposers, who never, for
any cause, pay dollar or a penny
to the papers that support your
cause, and in your turn pay nothing
to the papers that support them.

The railroad stock of the country is
three-fourths water. Besides this, most
roads are bonded for more than it cost to
build them.
Rates of freight and passenger fares are
fixed high enough to pay interest on the
bonds and dividends on the stock, water
and all. Thus the people pay for the
roads every four or five years, and still
do not own them.
Had we not better fix it so than when
we Lave paid for them we will own them
and thereafter get transportation at cost ?
ANY sensible man will say we had.

CONSPIRACY,

In my last article on the silver bill
| laid before our people the proofs
that Mr.. Crisp is thus far responsible
for the non-passage of that measure.
The rule of the House giving his
committee at any time the power to
bring any bill to vote; his promise
to Mr.. Bland that the power given
by the rule would be used the CIV
ing up of the contest by Mr.. Bland
upon the faith of that promise the
action taken by Mr.. Crisp and Mr.
Bland afterwards to carry out the
agreement; then the sudden change
of front on Mr.. Crisp's part and his
refusal to bring in the resolution as
provided for by the Rules because Of
his caucus pledges-all these points
were given.
I defy Mr.. Crisp or any of his
friends to meet them.
Now I go step further. [ al
lege that it has been the distinct pur-
pose upon the part of Tammany, Hill,
Springer and the Gold Bug Demo
Gratis not to pass Free Silver Bill
at all this session and that a common
understanding has been had among
them all along.
On Dec. 81, 1891, David B. Hill
in his Albany speech said "Pass no
Free Coinage Bill"
On Jan. s, 1892, Hon. VIM. Mr..
Springer, leader of the House, said
at the New York Banquet:
"Congress will pass no Free Coin
age Bill"
Frantic efforts were made in Free
Silver sections to deny these state
ments and explain them away, but
those who carefully observed and re-
flected began to suspect that secret
understanding prevailed among the
Democrats.
On Jan. II, 1892, the Washington
Post published interviews with Sena-
tor Carlisle and other leading Demo-
Gratis the drift of which led to the
conclusion that the Free Silver Bill
would not pass but that an lnterna-
tional Conference upon the subject
would be had.
These proofs show beyond all dis
pute, that Hill, Springer, Carlisle and
others were holding a we'll defined
policy favorable to Wall street and
ruinous to the people. Hills forces
in the House were tireless in their
work against Free Coinage. Hills
confidential lieutenants led the fight.
These men are the main supports of
Mr.. Crisp. They made him Speaker.
His election was Tammy tri-
umph; so claimed and SO conceded.
Now keeping this chain of evil
dence well in hand, let every citizen
ask himself why it is that Mr.. Crisp
refused to redeem his promise to Mr..
Bland why 1t is that the New York
World was so confident that Mr..
Crisp would change his attitude; why
it is that week after week goes by
without the Silver Bill being brought
to vote when it is within the power
of the Speaker to do so any day?
To these questions there can be
but one reply.
A conspiracy exists among Demo-
cratic leaders to nullify their plat
form pledges and to deceive the
masses of the people.

THEY MUST SWALLOW TT WHOLE.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of the Second Congressional
district have ordered that all prima-
ries at which the Alliancemen en-
dorsed Mr.. Stevens as a candidate
for Congress be entirely ignored and
that new set of primaries be held
at which no one be allowed to vote
who does not pledge himself to swal-
low the whole Democratic platform
and vote for its candidate on Ma
tional, State and local tickets, no
matter who the candidates are or
what their platform may be.

WHO HAVE HAD CONTROL OF THE
LEGISLATION OF THIS COUN-
TRY EVER SINCE THE WAR?

LEGISLATION OF THIS COUN-
TRY EVER SINCE THE WAR?
Not the farmers.
Not the laboring men.
Not the wealth producers of any
class.
Not the merchants in town or
country.
But the same class of petty-fog-
ging attorneys and professional poll
ticians that are now going over the
country or standing in the county
seat towns and shouting:
"Don't leave the grand old Demo
cratic party"
They are responsible for your pow
erty; for the fact that your wives
are lily clad; that your children are
growing up without proper educa-
ton that your farms are mortgaged;
that the country is going to the devil
at two forty gait on plank road.
They have held themselves as
wiser and better than the men who
till the fields or work in the shops.
They have told you to work hard
er and eat less and they would attend
to the politics.
You did what they told you to do.
And they attended to the politics
as they said they would.
And the result is BANKRUPTCY of the
people and the nation, while they
wear fine raiment and fale sump-
tuously every day.
And they have the impudence to
come before you again and advise
you still as to what you should do.
It is the same advice they have al
ways given you.
Crust u.s."
"Stick to the old party"
"Elect us to Office"
You might as well trust to Satan
for your eternal salvation.
Did they ever do you any good?
The politicians on both sides
plunged you into an awful war.
By their advice we beat our plow-
shaves into sabres, North and South,
and made one great battle field of
our Southland.
The graveyards that mark our hill
sides where are laid to rest the fallen
brave are monuments to the imbecil-
ity, the selfshness, the lack of states
manship of the politicians North and
South.
The work of making widows and
orphans by war was their work-the
work of the politicians.
They come to you now-the same
class Of men from the town and cities
telling you not to depend upon
yourselves, not to trust to the sense
of right and justice inherent, planted
by Almighty God in the breasts of
the common people, but to trust
still to them, the same class of men
who have always ruled and always
wrecked.
Will you do it?
Will the wealth producers again
listen to the wealth consumers Will
the industrious still allow the idle to
manage the ship of State?
From all over this broad land
comes the thunderous answer
No.
By the God of our fathers, no.
By our love for our wives and
children-by all we love and rever
ence-we swear to redeem our homes
and country from the grasp of the
dispoiler and make it, in fact, what
it has heretofore only been in song
the land of the free, not less than the
home of the brave.

Money is the tool whereby the wealth
producers make their exchange of
wealth.
The government will not allow the in
dividual wealth producer to make this
tool so necessary to his prosperity.
Therefore it is the duty of the govern
ment to make the tool and furnish ir to
the wealth producers at cost. That is the
st. Louis platform in few lines.

When a politician from town
comes out to talk to you and advise
you not to leave the old party, stop
and think a moment before you
answer him.
Suppose you take his advice and
things run on as they are doing,
whose children will be leaders, mas
tiers, a few years hence, yours or
his?
His children.
Who will own the land, your chill
dren or his?
His children.
Who will work the land which his
children own?
Your children.
Will you accept of such advice
and from such men?
Can you listen to such with
patience even?
They do not wish that equal JUS
tice should be done to all men.
They have had the shaping of the
legislation of the country always.
and could have done justice if they
had wished to do it.
They speak falsely when they tell
you now that they will do Justice in
the future.
They intend to continue the same
old systems of injustice in the future
as in the past and they come to you
with pleading voices and tales of the
ruin you will bring on yourselves if
you attempt to run things without
them to advise and manage for you,
in order to deceive you.
They-the men who have already
ruined you financially and seek to
perpetuate and intensity these con-
ditlons in your children-ask you to
trust them again.
How now will you answer them.

ing him to be rascal, is no better than

DOWNING WATSON.

The Augusta Evening news has
this
'Every effort will be exercised to
down Watson, and if his death knell
is rung in November it will also be
the funeral of the Third party, which
will be buried out of sight"
The death knell programme is to
be started at Washington, Ca, next
month by Hon. J. c. G. Black and
Hon. F. G. DuBignon.
Mr.. Black is Attorney for the
Central Railroad & Banking Co.
Mr.. DuBignon is Attorney for the
Plant Railroads and for that tender
little monopoly, The Southern Ex-
press Co.
1t is certainly significant to see
the simultaneous action of the Rail-
road Lawyers in the death knell
business.
Mr.. Watson has always fought the
special privileges of the railroads,
the exemption from taxation and
their objectionable charges.
No wonder they wish to "Down"
HIM.
Suppose the government were to
pass the sub-treasury bill and also
issue legal tender notes and purchase
one main line of railroad across the
continent, after first squeezing the
water out of it. The U. P. railroad
owes the government over one hun
dred million dollars now, which
amount might be deducted from the
sum paid.
What would the men who sold the
road do with the money paid them2
Loan it? They could not get more
than 2 per cent for it if they did, for
with the government standing ready
to loan under the sub-treasury law at
2 per cent, private individuals could
not loan for more.
No, they would not loan it; they
would use it to help develop the
country and it's industries in some
legitimate way.
They would have to do so or let
their money lie idle and so bring
them nothing in any way.
But using it in any kind of bust
ness they would give employment to
men now idle and so add to the pros
perity Of the country and Of every
one in it.
And IN five years. without ino-eas-
ing the rates of freight, the govern
ment would have got back every dol
lar paid for the road and could put
rates down to cost of carriage on
that road while it used the money to
buy another road and SO on, until all
the roads were run by the govern
ment and the whole people had
transportation at cost, or as cheap as
they have it in Australia, where one
can ride for a half cent per mile.
