Educational Notes.

Last Tuesday the public schools
had enrolled 2,7O4 pupils. At the
same period last year there were
enrolled 2,649. While this may at
first seem to be small increase, it
will be remembered that last year
many children under seven years of
age attended. If the same rules
applied then az now, the increase
would be fully 800. About fifty
new pupils were enrolled the be.
ginning of this week.

About $3.50 worth of corn and
oats had been sold (Which had shaI
cd the usual farmers luck in
shrinking to $69S.OO by the time
the money became visible.) How
much of the produce was consum-
ed in making this crop is not sta
ted, but the total gross amount, if
everything had been sold and the
usual shrinkage of farmers pro-
ducts could have been avoided,
would not have amounted to more
than 1920.

Good Advice.

You can carry your country if
you will SOW the literature thick
enough, and do it now before par
ty prejudice Is appealed to by the
Office seekers. 1t will be no more
difficult to convert a majority than
to convert those now with US. II
simply requires more of the same
kind of work, that's all. Put a
good reform paper in the home OF
every working man and you need
have no further campaign expens-
Is. Or; will you wait until about
election time, spend five times the
money and get but meagre results
Go to work now, solicit subscrib-
ers and if one will not subscribe,
pay for it for him out of sum
you should have provided. Edu-
cate the voters or be enslaved by
them. There is no other alterna-
tive. Go to work now, and see
that every home has at least one
reform paper, the abler the better.
Go to work.-The Coming Nation.

Monopoly Slavery.

The New York Sun states that
the income of John ID. Rockefeller
is $40, 100000. This requires the
constant labor of 54,794 laborers
at 81 per day. Surely this control
of labor by the control of money
is more profitable than to own the
laborers as chattel slaves. The
wealthiest slave holder of the south
never dreamed of being able to
hold $4,000 slaves under the sys-
tenn of unrestricted chattel slavery.
But under our present system OF
debt and wage slavery it is not un-
usual. 1t requires the labor of
one man six days at 81 per day to
furnish John ID. Rockefeller his
income for ono second. And
Rockefeller is but one of thou
sands of monopolistic masters of
greater CT smaller dimensions.
Is it strange that the slaves are not
satisfied! Men are not usually to
blame for taking advantage of cir
cumstances or conditions, and it is
not against such men that reform
measures are directed. 1t Is
against the laws which make such
conditions. Good men often make
the mistake of assuming that these
demands are aimed at the million
aires personally. 1t is not true.
1t is directed against that system
of national economy which makes
these millionaires. Mr.. Rockefel-
ler is here; by some means he has
amassed a large fortune. Under
the law it is his. These reform
measures do not propose either to
hang him or take away his proper
ty. But the people don't want
any more of this kind, nor will
they permit him to use this inn
mense leaver to enslave his neigh
bors. 1t is proposed to wipe out
system that will bring such re
suits. Who will gainsay that doc
trine l-Facts and Figures.

Keep Up The Watch Fires.


Now is the time, while there is
no political excitement, to educate
the masses of the people, and when
there is no pulling or dragging Oh
the part of the Punch and Judy
party to distract the attention OF
the people from the real causes oi
the trouble from which the cOun.
try is suffering. A campaign Of
education should at once be inau.
gurated and meetings held in every
city, village and hamlet in the
country. 1t is a mistake to think
that the best and only time for
such education is in the midst OF
political campaign. The Peo-
pies party do not desire nor in
tend to appeal to the passions and
prejudices of the people by re-
sorting to electioneering lies and
misrepresentation of various
kinds. The truth is all sufficient
for their purposes, and the truth
is what the great mass of the peo.
pie are in search of, and which
they fail to get from either of the
old parties.
In the next great contest for
president both old parties will be
found fighting the Peoples party.
In several states such combina-
tions were formed during the late
campaign to down the Populists,
and it was only by such fusion
that they, in some instances, ac-
complished their purpose. This
shows that they fear the young
giant of Populism. and if they
deem it necessary, will join teams
to defeat the Populists at the next
presidential election, when the
question of finance will be the issue
Forewarned is forearmed, and no
time ought to be lost in preparing
for that great battle two years
hence.

The life of the country is at
stake. The nation is today within
the clutches of the money power
and is struggling to shake off the
chains which bind it to Wall street
in New York, and Lombard street,
London. The power of the COM
mon people is all that can save the
nation. That power is their ballot,
and they should be taught to use
it for their own safety and that of
their children, as well as genera
tions yet unborn.-Facts & Figures.

TO FORM A SINGLE TAX
COLONY.
Pullman's Unemployed 500 Fam
lilies. Will Settle in Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. IA
party consisting of 500 families of
the Pullman unemployed will ar
rive in Alabama during this week
and will establish a single tax
colony after the idea of Henry
George, near Blakely, Baldwin
country. They have secured 1000
acres of fine land at S6 per acre,
located on the very spot where the
last battle of the civil war was
fought. The land lies for two and
a half miles along the beautiful
Tensas river with boat water up
to the shore. Mobile, the largest
city in Alabama, is just twelve
miles across the bay from Blakely,
and will be the market for what
surnlus products the colony pro-
duces. For three months the col.
onists expect to experiences hard
ships, as there will be little income
for them excepting from a fine
coal in bank on their land After
that however, the land will yield
abundantly of fruits and vegeta-
bles to provide comfortably for
them. Sawmill and brickmaking
machinery has been bought on
time. 1t is believed here that the
cooperating colony will prove a
success. A Lutheran minister
named Van Kock, formerly of
Ohio, but now of Alabama, is the
instigator of the enterprise

WHICH Is THE MOTHER?
The Hen Who Laid the Eggs OF
the one Which Hatched Them.

Peoples party advocates make
republicans very angry in remind
ing them that their last secretary
of the treasury, Hon. Chas. Foster
was preparing to do just what the
present dem ocratic secretary has
done in the matter of issuing
bonds. A great number deny that
such was the case. To decide such
a dispute a letter was written the
present secretary which called
forth the following answer:
Treasury Dept. Office of Secretary I
Washington, Sept. IL, 1894. )
To Mr.. Geo. w. Dunn, Tifin, 0.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of the
14th inst. is received, and in re-
sponse you are advised that Sec
retary Foster, before he left the
department, ordered plates for the
issue of bonds to be prepared, but
the $50, 600, 900 of bonds issued in
February last were not engraved
upon the plates-that is to say,
the plates which Secretary Foster
had prepared were changed in Or
der to make them conform to the
character Of bonds issued in Feb
ruary. Very truly yours,
o j. e.. CARLISLE.
So you see that the democratic
hen hatched out an republic eggs.

How to Agitate.

1t takes some time for man or
woman to get a thing straight in
their mind. To illustrate: If a
man were to desire to learn mathe-
mates, the reading of the books
would not make him a mathemeti-
clan. If he could read them all in
a week he would still not accom-
plish anything. The mind would
not have the time to absorb, di-
gest and arrange the ideas. He
would require months, or years,
to train the mind to think know
ingly. And until he did this, his
calculations would not be reliable.
The same is applicable to political
economy, only it is not necessary
to have such severe training to un-
derstand its fundamental princi-
pies. But as man may not be-
come mathematician in a month,
neither may he become pOpulist
in a month. 1t takes time. 1t is
not an appeal to the emotions, as
are the flap-doodle tariff arguments
of the monopolistic press, but an
appeal to the reason. Therefore,
all work done few weeks before
an election will do but little if any
good, as the mind is not in that
pacific state necessary to discern
and compare statements, and has
not the time for such digestion and
understanding even If it were will
ling, In other words, populists
are not made in a month. 1t takes
many months often. The mind
must be kept on the problems un-
til it can analyze them-know and
feel the reasons for accepting the
new philosophy. Therefore, if
you intend to do anything toward
the propaganda of a new civiliza-
ton, do it now. Men whom you
get interested now will before the
next campaign have had time to
study, and will then themselves be-
come workers and helpers. Don't
wait. If the money spent for
books and papers two months be-
fore the election had been spent
six or eight months before, it would

half million more minds. l haye

time before election, but our own
people are slow to see the reasons.
l hope l have made it plain. Work
now. We will win in 1895 if you
do your duty in the agitation. A
dollar for literature now will do as
much good as ten dollars eighteen
months hence in its influence on
the results of 1896. Nine voters

THE POWER OF WORDS.
By Miss LENA HoYDsTON.
First Baptist Church s. s., Chal-
er, La, Nov. 4, 1894.

Who knows the power of a few
words, one little sentence uttered
with loving kindness or with NAL
ice! ThOughtless and malicious
words have inflicted more and
deeper wounds than any other
weapon. Where other weapons
destroy physical life, wo rds des-
troy spiritual life. They are the
thieves that steal away, piece by
piece, good reputation, until the
very character center is touched
and marred and deformed, causing
the individual to sink lower and
lower in the scale of morality and
spirituality.
Schiller said truly that, 'sTale
bearers have done more mischief
in the world than the poisoned
bowl or the ,assassin's dagge r.
How careful one should be in
speaking of another! Silence is
golden when one has nothing good
to say of ones neighbOr.
On the other hand, words have
been and will ever be the light and
life of the world. The Bible is
Gods word, and who will deny
that the Bible is the lite of the
worldi The book itself teaches
that, "man doth not live by bread
alone, but by every word that pro-
ceedeth out of the mouth of the
Lord doth man live" Think, med
itate upon the power of Gods
word! Salvation! Eternal life
and happiness! Who could re-
fuse to speak a little word of love
for Jesus sakei We are told that
ga word spoken in due season,
how good it is !" Again, ga word
fitly spoken is like apples OF. gold
in pictures ofsilver." Such words
heal the heart wounds that thought
less words have made. A simple
word, a kind "good morning." a
hearty "thank your pleasant
show are youw may tighten a
heart that is heavy with sorrow;
may make some one happier and
better.
From Genesis to Revelations,
the Bible is full of warnings as to
the right use of the tongue. Man
is commanded to bear no false wit
ness against his neighbor, to speak
evil of no man, to bride his tongue.
Surely God foresaw how difficult
it would be for man always to
speak kindly, and for this reason,
lin the words of Colton) "Men are
born with Two eyes, but with one
tongue in order that they may see
twice as much as they speak.
In James 8, 2, these words are
found: eff any man offend not in
word the same is a perfect man.
and able also to bride the whole
body.r o that all men would
realize the vastness of the full
power of words, SO that all could
say with the Prophet Isaiah, "The
Lord God hath given me the
tongue OF the learned that / should
know how to speak a word In sea-
son to him that is weary

Facts and Figures,

One of the themes of which the
zeal of the moss back editor never
wearies is the beauty of the hog
and honiny system. According
to this thery, the Georgia farmers
are fools, who by their preverse-
ness in raising cotton have brought
ruin on themselves and Sampson
like, have involved the whole coun-
try in their own misfortune. If
the said fool farm rs would only
raise hog and hominy they would
swiftly make the desert bloom
again as rose and force that solid
prosperity to smile upon the coun-
try which has eluded the painsta-
king effort of a democratic admin
istration.
And some otherwise very sensi-
bic people, but who understand
farming or the present condition
of the country about as well as a
Hottentot does Greek, have believ-
ed this idle prating, and pinning
all their faith on the efficacy of
the hog and hominy cure, are pray
erfully looking for the day when
the said fool farmers shall cease to
want the government to legislate
money into their pockets, and raise
corn and oats and hogs, which is
to usher in the dawn of the demo-
cratic millennium.
Oh, if only the fool farmers
would cease their perverseness and
90 pell-mell into the hog and hOm-
my business!
John B. Gordon, however illus
trious he may be, is not the only
Georgia farmer. He has a rival.
To his other varied Offices Hon.
w. +. Eve adds that of a farmer.
Under his direction one of the lar
gest farms in the county is mana
ged to the best possible advantage.
Intent as he always is in the dis
charge of his official duties to ben
eft the people, the judge has spar
ed no pains to make this farm
model as well as profit to the
country. Unfortunately the judge
has been captivated by the specious
hog-and- -hominy arguments of the
/ subsidized editors. He has reduc-
ed it to practice. In calling atten-
ton to the county farm it is not to
cast reflection upon him or his
assistants, but to show the beauty
of the hog-and- hominy system in
its perfectncss. His farm super
intendent is acknowledged to be
not only a practical but an expert
farmer, the plantation is among
the best in the county, the sea-
sons have been exceptionally pro-
pitious and the result of the hog
and hominy system, as shown this
year on the county farm, may be
accepted as very best possible to
be achieved.
Here it is, with every figure ia
ken from the official reports of the
grand juries of May and Novem-
Der.
The working force of the farm
is comprised of IL head of mules
with hands sufficient to work them.
That no idle hands are kept is
shown from the fact that only nine
are employed now, while more are
sent when they are needed. They
receive no pay, and the only ex-
pense they have is the cost of feed
ing, clothing and guarding them,
which is certainly less than the
cost of paid labor would be. They
raised this year about 1000 bush
els of corn, 1440 bushels of oats,
40 tons Of hay and about 80 hogs.
