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

this time to a greater extent than at
any previous time in the history of
the world?
/ will just say that the world
would be in fine condition for this
temporal millinnium! God pity the
world.
12 Yea, all that will live Cody in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. -.
But evil men and seducers shall wax
worse and worse, deceiving and being
deceived.
It does seem to me that any one
who wanted to understand at all
may know that we are living in the
last days spoken of by the apostle,
and this list of crimes is now in full
force.
Now, just take up the newspapers
Of the day and we find the reports
are perfectly heart sickening. See
one man expressing another lawyers
cannot wait for man to die to have
the plans laid to get his property;
hear the boast that they are the
only class that are competent to
make and execute the laws ; hear
them say if this farmer and labor
ers' movement is not checked the
government will be run into social
ism; see the pride that ,permates our
females; they are bowling at the
shrine of dress, fine equipments, etc.;
hear the loud-swelling oaths and the
contempt with which Gods name is
treated. Surely at no time in the
history of our race have children
been so disobedient to parents and
teachers. This is noticeable every
where. So the dark list Of crimes
arising from unnatural affections. II
any one is brave enough to defend
the cause of justice and right, and
protect the oppressed, the newspa-
pers of the country at once set up
false accusations enough against him
to blacken the character OF an angel,
if believed.
The cities, to a great extent, are
filed with bawdy and lewd houses.
Members of our national Congress
hire wicked men to delude and de-
coy the fair young daughters Of poor
families to them that they may
plunge them into shame and ever
lasting disgrace in order to satiate
their hellish, lewd passions.
IF a good man happens to get into
a position where he can and does
stand by the right, see how he is
despiSed and his name cast out as
| evil.
Hear the execrations of the parti-
san press and the legal profession
and the wicked politicians upon Hon.
Thomas Z. Watson and his eight
colleagues! Hear a little hot-headed
lawyer, of Cumming, asking Con-
gresham Wlnn to resign for daring
to turn from evil!
Traitors Take, for example, the
, case of Moses and Livingston, after
4 the laboring men of their respective
+ districts had forced them to the front,
on certain promises Of reform, and
, sent them to Congress. Now see
them, in the face OF all those prom
= ises, leaving their posts Of duty and
= coming back to Georgia try to bring
heaven and earth together in the en-
+ deavor to drive back the men who
! elected them, and betray them into
> the very power from which these
! laboring men lad cut loose. Nay,
, the same power against which they
had organized for plunging them
; into financial ruin. Then talk about
! Judas Iscsriot and Benedict Arnold {!
. IN the haze of reformatory light that
! | is now dawning upon us, the two
first afe by far the greater traitors.
, Hsar the hsady, penny-wise law
yers. the court rings, che town and
citv breaches calling the leaders of
the reform Movement fools, and de-
nouncing the people as anarchists,
paternalists and socialists, for no
other reason than that they are edu-
eating themselves in order to take
their government and affairs out of
their the heady classes) hands and
manage their own business. See
these higl-minded classes sitting at
ease in court houses, in the sacred
stand ahd filling the high positions,
revellng in pleasure, forgetting that
there is a just God that will soon
mete out Justice to all alike; and
then answer whether st. Paul was
reviewing the crimes of our (the last)
days.
Hear our preachers, while they sit
in silence while the agents of the
dragon (deviD are trying to seduce
the people and get them to make an
Image of the Beast, by helping to
build up this image by contributing
to the hellish Worlds Fair. / re-
peat, hear them demanding that the
Christian Sabbath be observed this
of itself is right), while they never
raise their voice against this trick Of
Satan with respect to sins of infinite
ly greater magnitude.
Here we have the form of ''Godh-
ness, and denying the power where
of" with vengeance. They never
say one word against the vicious
efforts (in many cases successfully
made to rob the people for this wick
ed purpose. They never sound the
