HE SCORES HIM.
rom WATSON GETS AFTER
THE CONSTITUTION MAN.
He Knocks Him Out In One Round
PEOPLES PartyPaper.)

Peoples Party Paper)
You say that when Mr.. Watson dis
tusses tariff and finance, the demo-
cratic masses go as far as he does
All right. That shows the people
are with him, or he with the people
whichever you like.
But how are your democratic masses
going to navigate in the democratic
party?
Their tariff views have been Knocked;
their financial demands insulteG and
trampled upon.
Harrison did not dare to issue bonds
Cleveland did-and your party, in
its every county convention, is pulling
the stufing out Of the vocabulary to
get words strong enough to praise his
courage, honesty, patriotism, fidelity
and craftsmanship"
The republicans did not dare to
shut the minis to silver.
Cleveland did it; and had the help
of the very cuckoos who were elected
as rampant free silverites, aud who
are now being endorsed" by every
court house crowd in their respective
districts.
The republicans did not dare to
give to the Rothschild syndicate the
option" between gold and silver,
which the law said should belong to
the government
But Cleveland did it; and thus
opened the way by which silver pur-
chase notes can be used to rake gold
out of the treasury-thus forcing a
bond issue to get back that identical
gold.
Imbecility, corruption and venal
favoritism never reached such a eli
max! The Wall-streeter takes silver
note; demands gold for it; gets the
gold when the law said he might be
paid IN silver. The government then
wants the gold back, and issues a
bond and sells it for the gold. Net
result: the Wall-streeter has used sill
yer, or green backs, to get gold bond
which is not to be taxed and which
brings him a guaranteed slice Of the
taxes of all the balance of u.s.
The republicans did not dare to stor
purchasing silver while the law Of
1890 stood on the books.
Mr.. Cleveland did.
Now there is the record. Who dis
putes it? Nobody. Who endorses it,
Democrats.
Except in McDufie county, there
has not been, so far as we can recall
a single clean cut population" O
Grover Cleveland's scheme to republi
canize the democratic party,
With the exception named, Their,
has been straddling of convictions
a shaving of expressions, a Juggling
with words; but nowhere has Their,
been an honest, manly condemnation
of the republican tendencies of Cleve
land and the cuckoos.
Now why parley with such condi
tions?
Why hope for the hopeless?
The Constitution says we must sen,
new men.
Who else says so? Their district
are not saying so. The very men VIII
voted to shut the minis 10 silver hav
already been endorsed id county cor
ventions.
The Atlanta Journal, the admins
tration organ in Georgia (having mad
its own record the first victim of il
gastric jrice) is now prepared to fun
nish proof that free silver neve
was part of your platform.
Tell US, therefore, what the masse
have to hope, when the Democrat
machinery is being run in this maj
ner?
Are they always TO elect a suppl
of new men as they did in 1s9J an
1892, and then have to indorse thos
rssn when they violate the pledges?
ere they always to be bound by
national convention of your party
which the north and east controls?
Is the south always to furnish Il
gotes which elect the President, viii
the north and east controls his polio
after election?
Is the south being for free silve
low taxes and the income taxi alwa'
20 furnish I56 of the 223 votes in Il
electoral college, which make a m
iority-the north and east furnishir
acne which can be relied on-whi
