they are undeniably and irreput-

Irrespective view of the times; a
glance to that time when every

of proAigate extravag bnce. which
extravaganza was not lavish in any
bestowal upon our needy millions,
or the supplying Of any want of an
actual sufferer, or the opening up
tho way to a better REWARD to the
ardous toll of our md astrial labor
ing multitudes. A glance to that
time when man could take the
precious reward of The labor of his

for sale where he pleased and at an
open market, untrammeled by Pro-

he pleased to a competatiye market

urer Or interest. A glance to a time
when all the world were allowed to

they pleased for the articles pro-
duced by the country and actually
demanded by theirs. A glance to
a time when there was not heard
the cry of mo money When the
cry everybody moving enmass to

when the people of the United

kets of the world. A glance to a
time when both gold and silver
were money. To Time when farm
values enhanced, when farm pro-
ducts brought remunerative

merchant marines progressed and
spread out, and be it said that the
one or two increased not to the
detriment of the other. To time
when there was a diversity of pro-
gress as well, which is always
healthy. A glance ifyou please to
a time when this government was
at peace with all nations, and our
reciprocal relations with the outer
world were pleasantto contemplate.
We refer to that epoch in history
extending from 1847 to 1860, when
war measures interrupted the pla-
cidity and prosperity Of the Ameri-
can citizen and the government of
this continent. Let us ask the

SOTaTD FACTS
Some Palpablc Truths from the
Pen of Dr.W.H. Lancaster, of
MOulton.


Chae. Ward,
Sinner, Texas.
Dear sir and friend;-Some
time since l promised you when
the Bellamy dreams were realized
when we were fed att government
public trough and could take bit
of our ease, | would write a few
dots for the benefit of and advice to
the future generations.
We have cause to doubt if there
is a public government soup
trough. If there is one at all it is
private one, not a public one,and
protected private one too. Not a
silver one, if any at all, but gold
one too royal for our tooth. SO if
we pen the dots or record any of
car thoughts. it will not be from a
hand inspired by any Of the bright
realizations Of the Bellamy specu
latious, but as tho present surround
ings dictate, and now with u Bon
Voyage" we sail out.
What means all this strange
commotiou? A spirit of great I'M
rest pervades the entire country. A
tumultous connection almost, as it
were, sewers in twain the nations
koscnn. This government stands
as it were upon the very thres-
hold Of dissolution, and the very
agonies and throes of discomfort
are lowering over us in sable clouds
Of threatning menances, of danger
and warnings for the future. Why
this spirit of unrest? Why this all
pervading feeling dissatisfaction
Why and wherefore goes up this
UNIVERSAL cry of want, hunger,
perjury and never dying, Unsuitable
desire for relief which reaches from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean;
from the British possessions to
Mexico, for change in legislation
for a REIMBURSEMENT of the relations
between capital and labor, between
the'sower and the reaper, between
the hungry and the feasted, between
those who work and toll, and
strive ardously to earn by the
sweat of their brow a mere susten-
ance for physical supremacy over
death, and those who revel in lux
urious living; those who are in u
very diminutivo minority, yet the
reapers Of the benefits Of all labor,
and the fat of the land; Those who
are the controllers Of the medium Of
Interchange between the commodi-
ties of earth, and the manipulaters
of the power and medium of control
Of all labor. The great financial
power which dominates all earth.
and which for the hope Of n greater
reward in the future will and does
Withdraw itself from among the
people, empties the pockets of hon
est labor and secrets itself in the
we'll guarded vaults Of corporations
and protected interests, (not indus
triesl thereby forcing the suffrages
to fully appreciate and feel the fact
that something is radically wrong
yea, and to cause the very founda-
lions of nations to tromble, as il
were, and to halt in it's progress
and resort to sterner resources-wai
measures in times Of peace to tide
over an apparent financial short
age.

BE? We cannot charge it to ma

and weakened powers and energies
Of man. Man has not deprecated
intellectually. Every progress Of
every nation and government stout
ly deny this thought. 1t is not due
to any deficiency in the quality and
the availability Of the appliances
which man adapts to the further
ance and aid of the labor of his
hands. Every invention Of the
age stoutly denies this. Is it due,
as said by SO many, to scarcity Of
money among the nations of the
world? No, it is none of these, for
none of these conditions mentioned
exists. Is it due to any external
pressure or influence brought to bear
upon us by surrounding foreign
governments2 No. Then what is
wrong? Is there is notSan error
somewhere. Where lies this error?
We believe and assert that the
trouble results from a faulty legis-
lation, A legislation in favor of
the few and detrimental to the best
interests ofthe many. A veritable
form of class legislation, A legis-
lation influenced and abeted by
capital, by subsidized and cooper
ative interest, controlled, operated
and manipulated in the interests of
it's owners for the promotion of
their personal pcrpetuity and ag-
randi2ement and which said in
forests constitute a diminutive pro-
portion But the very exercise and
operations of which said subsidized
and protected interests, like the
magnate, grows stronger from it's
use and operations. The wishes,
demands and lntores is ofthe masses

HE CAN STAND 1T.
Mr. Turner Ia Abundantly Able to
Meet and Defeat His Critics.
From the Atlanta. JOrrua1

If Hon Henry G. Turner should, by
chance, read the Atlanta Constitution of
the past two days, he will discover that
he has proven false to democratic prin-
ciples and has been called to repentance
by that distinguished authority on the
true democracy.
The Constitution worries and frets and
losses over the speech of MIR. Turner at
Decatur last Tuesday. AS Mr.. Turner
intends to make substantially the same
speech all over Georgia there is large
stock Of trouble in store for our nervous
and muchly ratified neiQhbor. There are
excellent reasons why Mr.. Turner should
make this speech wherever he goes. The
best reason is that il is a democrati
speech. 1t is a vindication of the ma
tiOnal and state democratic platforms on
the currency question.
In a mastery manner Mr.. Turner
shows why these platforms should have
demanded an honest currency, how they
have done so and how fatal to the sue
cess of the party and the interests of the
country any other policy would be-
Another reason is that Mr.. Turner has
the ability to interpret the democratic
platform almost, if not quite, as well as
the very able and very numerous editors
of the Constitution, and there is a popu-
lar belief that he expresses his honest
Cp'Nlt JlONS
II S giving fence to the Constitution
has certainly caused pain in that quarter,
but we hardly think it will be considered
an objectionable sin by the democracy of
Georgia. II must be remem bered that
as opponents and representatives OF
democratic faith both MIR. Turner and the
Constitution have records, and Mr. Tur-
ner can afford to stand the comparison, or
rather, the contrast
When Ocalaism seemed omnipotent in
his district MIR Turner gave it its death
blow. No man in Georgia has combatted
the heresies of populism more fearlessly
or more ably than he, and he is now dem
onstrating the folly and danger of
the populist silver doctrine, which is
identical with that OF the Constitution
Therefore, we do not wonder that our
neigh Dor is worried. IL even appeals to
the state democratic committee to call
Mr. Turner off the stump. 1t would,
doubtless, be a great relief TO the Consti-
tuition to have Mr. Turner silenced, but
Just how that is TO be done we cannot
imagine So far as we know and believe,
Mr. Turner will continue his campaign
for honest money and the true construc-
tion Of the democratic platform, in spite
of the CONSTITUTIONS efforts TO have him
called OFF.
