Democratic GALL

Speaker Crisp opened his cam
paign in Georgia with the following
beautiful specimen of Democratic
gall:
We have repealed the Mckinley law.
We have greatly reduced taxation.
We have made living cheaper.
We have made all money taxable.
We have taxed surplus incomes.
We have restored freedom of cleo
tions.
We have reduced public expenditures,
and we have declared undying hostility
to all trusts and monopolies organized
for the oppression of the people.
Every one knows that it was the
sugar trust and the whisky trust
that dictated the repeal of the Nc
Kinley law, and that the democratic
party acted in the main as agents.
Whether it reduces taxation or not
remains to be demonstrated, so no
one can tell what juggling of tariff
schedules will result in. AS &c max
ing ones living cheaper, that is ex-
actly what causes the present hard
times. Cheap bread means cheap
boots, and that means starvation and
distress to the producers of both.
We want nothing cheap in this coun-
try but money. We have had a
cheap days work and dear dollar
until the whole country is in want
and distress. What we need now to
restore prosperity is dear days
work and cheap dollar. This as
sertion of Mr.. Crisp is in line with
every effort of Wall street for the
last thirty years and from such effort
the country is now suffering. Green
backs are taxed, if we understand it,
only where the states enact law
for that purpose.
Tho income tax is a distinctive
populist measure, and was forced in
the bill by populists, and would
never have been enacted into law by
the free action of the democrats.
Every one acquainted with the facts
understands such to be the case.

The States Business.

That ''the men who control' in the
democratic party were levying a
heavier tax rate than Rufus B. Bull
lock and his crowd dared levy, was
unknown to the average citizen and
taxpayer. THE DAILY Press made
The fact public. We showed from
the record that Bullock's legisla-
ture levied a tax of 40 cents on the
hundred dollars, and Northea ad-
mipistration levied tax of 46 cents
and ! mill on the hundred dollars.
Bullock had only $210,000,00O of
taxable property to raise his revenue
from while Northen had over $780,
100000 of taxable property from
which to raise his revenue.
The people rebelled against the
extravaganza Of Bullock's admins,
tration. We believe they will rebel
against "the men who control the
present democratic administration.
Bullock, Kimball and Company
used the states tax money and credit
for speculative purposes. "The men
who control' the present administra-
ton have done identically the same
thing. The records show it and no
man or newspaper has dared deny it.
Ii there had been no political di-
vision among the people Of Georgia,
these facts would never have reached
the public.

!, The sugar growers of Louisiana Sc
vered their relations with the demo-
cratic party yesterday in a formal man
ner at New Orleans and organized =
political party in utilization with the
national republican party. Thei.
platform OF principles contains bu
one word, protection" and their enc
and aim is to obtain bounty upon
their sugar, They expect to make q
trade with the republicans and give
them two or three congressional dis
tricts in return for this bounty; it is
of course, absurd to talk of their dc
livering the state or the senatorship.
These are not theirs to give II t0e
next congress proves to be evenly di-
vided or very nearly SO, the republi-
can party may be disposed to make the
trade, but if the addition of two on
three congressman from Louisiana viii
not give the party a majority in the
house, the offer will be rejected, that is
to say, the Louisiana sugar growers
will get nothing in return for their
| secession from the democratic party
1t is our opinion that they will get
othing.-Mobile Register.
The great significance of the &C
ton of the Louisiana sugar men is
this: They regard the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the democratic party
in the coming election as absolutely
certain. That they were prompted
to adopt the course they did by
purely selfish motives, is plain, and
were they not well convinced that
the republican party would control
the legislation in the next congress,
they would have remained in the
democratic party. Certain it is that
their action leaves them nothing to
hope for from the party they have
renowned, and knowing this they
would not have gone into the repub-
lican camp without feeling satisfied
that that party would again be in the
majority.
They simply acted as the proven
bal rats; and left the sinking ship in
order to get a profitable berth on
the one which will survive.
The democratic party is doomed
and all who oppose lniquitous class
legislation must come together in the
peoples party.

Get Genuine Tickets.

Two years ago counterfeit popu-
list election tickets were sent into the
various counties of the state, and
numbers of them were innocently
put into the ballot box and were
never counted by the partisan man
ayers of election.
We printed in Tuesdays Press
and in this weeks issue of THE
PEoPLE's PARTY PAPER a form
which has been approved by the ex-
ecutive committees of each party
and two of the judges of the su-
preme court.
The chairman of the executive
committee in each county should
give this matter his Immediate atten-
ton and see that each precinct in his
county is supplied with tickets.
Populist voters should get their
ballots from men known to be thor
ough populists, and thereby avoid
being duped and fooled into voting
a counterfeit ticket, which will never
be counted.
Where home establishments are
not prepared to print tickets, orders
sent to this office will be filled at the
rate of $1.0O for 5000 tickets. Write
the name of candidates plain and
and distinct, also the address to the
party to whom the tickets are to be
sent. The cash must accompany
your orders.

retaliate upon the democrats by an
industrial boycott? Such a state of
affairs is to be deplored, for it will
work an injury to every individual
to a greater or less degree in that
entire section.
"This is a mighty big scare when
it is known that there are but very
few gins in the country, and they
are all thoroughbred democrats
Let not the democrats presume upon
the advantage they may have in re-
gard to gins. Granting that the
democrats own all the gins in the
county now, would it remain so !?
And granting that no opposition gins
would be started, would their exulta-
ton over the advantage they hold
tend to tester amicable feelings.
1t is a most deplorable state Of
affairs when there is such bitterness
in a community that general boycotts
are thought of, which is bound to
retard the progress of that comnu-
nifty. Let there be no division
among our people, no feeling OF re-
sentiment of one party against the
other which would be a bar to prog
ress. We can disagree On political
questions without becoming es-
tranged in our social and industrial
relations. But each party must treat
the other as honest men, and be
willing to accord them the rights
which they demand for themselves.
Let the campaign and the election
be so conducted that after it is over
we can all join with hearty good
will and work together in fraternal
spirit for the common good.

Our dear neighbor, the Journal, is
If a peck of trouble. 1t has our
sympathy. Though we cannot com
mend the principles it aay.!Olcates, we
can and do commend ss CON
sistency and honesty. 1t does not
sail under false colors. It is an ex-
ponent and advocate of modern
democracy, and it does not fight for
goldbugism under a silver banner.
1t knows that modern democracy is
goldbugism and it does not try to
hide the fact.
The Journal is beginning to see
the handwriting on the wall. AS
the lines are being formed for the
great battle in November, it sees
that disastrous rout awaits the
democratic party. Though it fights
on heroically, yet moan will escape
it now and then as it realizes that a
position it had consider ed safe has
been lost. Poor Journal, its disap-
pointments come thick and fast.
Scarcely had the loss of three rep
resentatives in LOUISIANA been fully
confirmed before the news from Ohio
is flashed over the wires. Ohio is a
close and doubtful state. 1t has 81
representatives in congress, of whom
at present eleven are democrats.
The Journal walls that the demo-
cratic convention Of that state "was
absolutely dominated by Cal. Brice, "
Zone of "the men who control in
Ohio) and that the party in that
state is prepared ''for the worst
thrashing it has had in thirty years.
The democratic party will only be
skeleton after the election next
month. Coming events are casting
their shadows before.

come so mad over their defeat that
they are endeavoring TO boycott the

are writing letters to those operating

that there are but very few gins in the

1t is to be regretted that such SEN
timents as are expressed in the above
clipping from the Baxley Banner
should be SO fippantly stated. What
does it mean?
@The pops Of the country have

How have they been defeated? 1t
is nearly two weeks till the day of
election, so it was not a defeat at the
polls which made the pops become
mad. Was it the defeat of their
effort to secure an honest election
and fair and honorable treatment at
the hands of their political oppo-
nen.s? And have they in the bitter
ness of their feeling at the unjust
treatment they received, decided tt

Two Lady Editors.

We have IN the state OF Georgia
two lady editors, who each edit and
manage their own paper. Miss Ellen
Dortch is known as the editor of
the Milledgeville Chronicle, and the
fame of her enterprise and ability
has spread beyond the limits of the
state. While she is an enthusiast
upon the subject of the Girls Nor
NAL and Industrial School, and to
her untiring efforts in its behalf
much of the success of that institu-
ton is due, she has not hesitated TO
enter the field of politics. Her
paper is democratic; and not only
democratic, but extremely partisan.
Until quite recently Miss Dortch
had the distinction Of being the only
managing lady editor of a paper in
Georgia, but now she has rival
The Carroll County Populist was
launched by Mrs. L. T. Russell, who
is also its editor and business man
ager. AS its name indicates, it is
popuist paper, devoted to the cause
of the people. Her brave action in
taking up the burden and response
bility of starting a paper, her sublime
courage and devotion in entering the
field of reform journalism, has been
an inspiration to all who labor in the
cause of the people. While the
labor and care to edit and manage
successfully any kind Of a paper is
far greater than the average reader
is aware of, to ass lme control of
paper already established is very
smooth sailing compared to starting
a new one, and should the new ven
ture be in the cause Of reform, with
unreasouing and deep-seated preju-
dice to oppose it, the labor and cour-
age required is doubly hard.
Without wishing to detract in the
least from the credit due Miss Dortch,
we glory in the fact that our cause
has produced lady editor to contest
the honors with her; and as our
platform is the plalnest, our cause
the noblest, our leaders the most
loved, it is meet that we should also
have the lady editor who is the most
enterprising, who dared to enter the
field in the face of all obstacles to
supply pressing want, and who ad-
vocates a just cause in a worthy
manner, which places her in the
lead.
We append clipping from each
of the papers we have mentioned:
The first is part of an editorial from
Mrs. Russell's paper; the second is
an extract from Miss Dortch's paper,
and though printed on the first page,
it bears the appearance of an edito-
rial. If the work of the two lady
editors is criterion by which to
Judge the merits of their respective
parties, we commend the clippings to
the careful perusal of the public

The serious and pressing duty of
every mau in this country, who
regards himself as a man of honor and
patriotism is to examine into the con-
dition of this country, and to find out
to what extent he is responsible for
that condition and in what manner he
can most effectually use his personal
influence to remedy that condition, In
order to do this he will have to lay
aside party prejudice. OF course if a
man refuses to believe that there is
anything wrongin any policy pursued
by his party, ana that any course of
legislation must be defended by him
when it is adopted by his party, then
he is not in a condition TO cast an in
telligent ballot, and is rather disad-
vantage to his country than otherwise.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The report of the Sanitary Superin-
tendent to President Wilson. OF the
Board of Health. shows that the
health Of New York Is in very
satisfactory condition. While the popu-
lation OF the city has increased probably
siXty-flve thousand since last year. the
deaths this year during the first six
months. are between two and three
thousand less than during the CORE
spending period of 1888.
At the same time the tenement-house
population has increased over one hum
dred thousand this year. while there has
been a decrease in the delth-rate in
tcnements from 33.77 per thousand to
2275. The decrease In infant mortality
under five years Of age Ia also marked
and significant.
No doubt the decreased death-rdte Is
due, in Il great measure, to the improve
ment in the water supply through the
measures of publication adopted, and to
the good work of the Board OF Health
among the tenement-houses. The
Evening World' may justly claim that
the decrease In the deaths OF infants Is,
In very great degree, due to the excel
lent work of the faithful doctors Of the
Sick Babies Fund, which this yenr has
already grown above the ten-thousand-
dollar mark.

THE BRIDGE ENGINEERS.

Tho distinguished engineers appointed
by President cleveland to decide upon
the span OF the New York aud New
Jersey bridge have been in session tn
New York for several days and have
been experimenting the important
work OF boring for the foundation or
the piers.
The success OF the great enterprise
depends In "a great measure on the de-
cision to be reached by the engineers.
With q practicable span that will not
in the slightest degree interfere with
navigation, the bridge will be promptly
built.
The engineers OF the Commission are
not only distinguished in their profess
sion. but are men of sound sense, They
know the vast importance OF the bridge
to the future traffic of the whole con-
tinent, and they are not of a character
to let theories or technicalities stand in
the way of desirable practical results.
Capital waits ready to build the bridge
Just as soon as the result OF the de
alterations OF the engineers Is made
known. The new Rapid Transit Com
mission will, Of course, conform it's
plans to the future of the bridge so that
there may be proper connections with
all its approaches.

sources OF impurity TO the air as a ref
