had much 10 say about the reported
posting of gins, warning the owners
not to gin any cotton until the price
reached 10 cents per pound. Not
withstanding these reports more cot
ton has been on the market up to this
time than usual, and it now turns out
that the whole thing is a fake-a
democratic trick to make political
capital. Commenting on this the Liv-
ing Truth Of Alabama has this to say:
sit has been developed that all Of
this 'whitecap' business, in the south,
is a political trick of the organized
democracy to frighten the people back
into The old party lines. They worked
the racket on the negroes rising until
it wouldn't work any longer, and now
they have started the 'whitecaps.
They do the posting of gins, etc
themselves, and then do the blowing.
Gov. Stone of Mississippi Investigated
the business over there-and says the
whole thing is a fraud and lie.
"How long! o, how long, will we
suffer ourselves to be hoodwinked by
this set Of claptraps?"
A gentleman writing from Logan,
Ala, says:
"At last we are 'elated with sue

with a little of everything that
is venal, white Gaping, robbery,
lynching, whipping, etc. So forth.
with the county was called upon to
purchase blood hounds to run 'em in.
The county secured a good pair Of
hounds and behold in less than two
months another crime was reported
and the hounds were called to the
scene Of the buiglarizing OF Mr.. Rock
er's house near Crooked creek, and
away went the dogs and ran down
two agonized democrats. Now keep
those dogs, and when you catch the
last agonized democrat, hang the dogs
and | will stand good TO the county
for the rest.

the people back into the party lines.
There have been fewer gins burnt in
the south this year, and all the posting
has been done by the little under
strappers 10 the bosses by their in

The old game was to raise the cry
that the negroes were going to rise.
They worked that game until it would
work no longer, and now they have

When the war closed in 1856 the
country was in debt nearly three bill
lions Of dollars. To-day our national
debt is only a little more than five
hundred million dollars. In 1865 the
people were out Of debt To-day the
country is bankrupt In 1866 we had
$50 per capita and no tramps. To-day
we have less than IS per capita in
actual circulation and 1900, 900
tramps. Draw your own conclusions

Why will added pates talk abou.
the peoples party dying? Nothing
could be more false or foolish. There
are nearly 1000 papers espousing its
principles throughout the country to-
day. Thousands upon thousands of
earnest men and women are opponents
of its principles on the rostrum.
Everywhere men and women are
writing as correspondents and authors
along the lines of reform. Besides
the newspapers, tons upon tons of re-
form literature are being published
books, pamphlets, leaflets and tracts,
and are being sown broadcast He
who says the peoples party is dying is

Now notice how nicely 81" slips out

how the fat gent truckles to Roths-

how he "hollers" for more confidence
and how he yells for the people to
take their money out Of their sock to
give to the bankers to lock up. Also
note the fact that the fat man hasn't
an unkind word to say for his
fat, well fed, plutocratic friends
who got up the, panic and who
ruined hundreds of thousands of mer-
chants, manufacturers and wage earn
ers. Note also the fact that he has
nothing to say about the 100000
starving people anxious to work but
totally unable to do so while the cor
nerers of gold see fit to stand back and
freeze the equity holders out of their
last cent OF course he has nothing
to say unkind of the exploiters who
are running the nation-he is in on the
deal. Study his scheme 10 strengthen

The slave power of this country was
ever aggressive seeking to enlarge
its scope Of influence and more firmly
intrench itself. It's downfall was
fastened more by reason OF the
cupidity Of its leading men
for power than any feeling of
sentiment against the institution of
slavery, and this fact is attested by
the efforts of the government for
nearly two years to crush the rebel
lion and preserve slavery. The money
power is going the same road slavery
travelled.

THE FAT MANS MESSAGE.


The Denver Road has the following
TO say about the fat mans message to
HIS congress:
You should study closely what the
fat British tory has to say about 1.-The
cost OF silver bullion" and about the
necessity Of giving more power to
the secretary of the treasury" to issue
bonds at his own sweet will whenever
the Wall street gang yells for them.
Read what he has to say about CON
fidence," and the busted banks" and
about our having all the money we
need per capita. Then study the basis
Of calculation the tyrant uses in fgur-
ing out the per capital circulation Of
$3.50. See how carefully he avoids
referring 10 the amount OF money
withheld from circulation by the "re-
serve fund" Of bonds and the money
on hand in the United States treasury
not available. Notice also his failure
to mention the vast accumulation Of
unused and unavailable money now
held by his pet banks in New York.
Notice how studiously he avoidsg
ing this table OF facts in connection
with his per capita calculation:

papers enlarging upon the statement

Frederick c. Waite, who declared there
were 100000 stay-at-home votes in
the states where elections were held
this last fall, flour millions of whom"
said he, "were utterly dissatisfied
with their own party" Oh, no; that
is statement old party politicians

his scheme of coming silver dollars or

The house has at last decided t. per-
nit the senators to have clerks as well
as themselves. Members of the house
are allowed 500 per month for the
purpose of employing a clerk. This
law was passed by the last democratic
congress just before its expiration.
This is allowed them in addition to
their salary of $1,000, and, we take it,
is specimen of democratic economy.

Various and conflicting opinions are
expressed as to Secretary Carlisle's
urgent recommendation for a bond
issue. This question presents diff
culties for solution which the party in
power will hardly solve without much
friction. The issue Of more bonds in
time of peace is an unpopular one, and
whatever reasons may be urged for its
necessity it will prove a veritable
boomerang to the party that issues
them.

Parish Union Meeting.

The Bossier Parish Farmers
Unnion is to meet with the Rocky
Mount Union the second Wednes-
day in September, the 18th of the
month, at 10 A. NJ.
Farmers, let us all turn out and
have full attendance. It is all i'm
portant that the Farmers Union
should rally and go to work again
10 earnest.
Remember how a few years ago
the jute Bagging Trust undertook
to control the market and ran the
price up to double what it was
before, and how the farmers beat
the game by organized action. Now
that they think the Alliance has
lost its power, see how they are
beginning to put up the price again.
1t is easily within the power of the
farmers to beat them again and it
can only be done by united and Or
ganized action. Not only the Bag
glng Trust but other monopolies are
gradually lightning their grip on
the farming and laboring masses
and it behooves US all to go to work
in way to prevent them from OPP
pressing us with their combined
capital, and the only way possible
to accomplish this is far us all to
unite again and show to the world
that the laboring class can stick
together for their mutual benefit
The Alliance is beginning to gain
strength again in some of the States
and hope we of Louisiana will not
be the laggards in the race.
Come out to our meeting all farm
ers and laboring men who are will
ing to try to help themselves, and
let us take new start. All are
cordially invited as we expect to
have open doors in the afternoon,
and have speeches or lectures from
any and all who have the interest of
the working man at heart.
