NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

All defendants in judicial sales
have the right to select the paper
in which the advertisement is to be
inserted, therefore we would ask
our friends to give us a bid before
advertising. The Populist is be-
ing run in the interest of humani-
ty, and it is the duty of all men to
support it. Also those who enter
homesteads have right to select
their own paper for advertising.
Don't fail to give us call and we
will treat you wei.

Let us begin the work of organ
ization, education, and agitation
now.
Let us cover the waste places
with Reform literature.
Let us reap the benefit of the
profound dissatisfaction, indiffer-
ence, disgust and suspicion which
now prevails among the honest
democrats of the rank and file.
The way to begin is to begin.
Therefore as chairman of your
State Executive Committee | here
by call meeting of that body ut
Atlanta, on January 31st, 1895, at
10 O'Clock a. m., at the Office of
Phe Peoples Party Paper,
Let every member of the COM
mlttee be present.
Let us put the ball in motion.
TKos. Z. WATSON,
Jan. Is, 1895. Chairman.
POpulists of Louisiana, read the
the above and apply IT to yourself
YES, and then ''get a move on YOU"
The first and most importantwork
is to save your state paper. You
have not done your duty by it.
You have not sustained it as you
should and as you can. If you let
it GO down, all your labor and your
noble sacrifices will be lost for
years to come and you can't afford
it. A little effort Immediately will
do the work. We polled 1888
votes in the late election by demo-
cratic count and out of that many
voters, this paper has only 1,4OO
subscribers and half of them I'M
paid.
This wont do, it will take better
support than that to land your
cause. So many of you have done
nothing ut all.
The Louisiana populist. [volume] (Natchitoches, Natchitoches Parish, La.) 1894-1898, 1895-01-25

Rally to the support OF your own
cause. Nobodyelse will DO it for
You.
Polmlists of Natchitoches this
applies to YOU with double force,
because this paper is both your
state and parish organ, and while
many of your brethren in other
parishes are supporting their par
ish paper and this one as a state
paper too, you have only to support
the one and receive the same advan-
tage.
Again, you have carried this
parish already and have all reason
able prospects of carrying itagain,
and it ought to be much more en-
couraging to work where success
is assured, than where defeat is
certain or probable.
Many heroes in the reform
movement in this state are work
ING in the face of defeat, for prin-
ciplc alone, and are doing better
work and making greater sacrifices
than you who have victory in
sight. Don't let this be so. Rally to
the support of your paper and make
it a power in the land, so that it and
other results of your organized ef-
fort may 60 out into the state and
do missionary work, until "a little
Ieaven leaveneth the whole lump"
See the call elsewhere in this is
sue for a meeting of your parish
Central Committee to be held here
on Saturday Feb. 9th and let no
man fail to attend.
Bring along your subscriptions
to the PoPUIIsT and let's start the
ball rolling for an organization that
willsweep this and all the adjoining
parishes,
We can do it.

Resolutions Of the Cotton Grow
ers' Convention of Louisiana,
Held at Shreveport 18th
January, 1895,

To the President and Members of
the Cotton Growers Convention of
Louisiana at Shreveport: Gentle
men Your committee on resOlu-
tons, having in hand the work of
devising some plan for the better
ment of the cotton planting inter
est, beg leave to report:
That while it is the sense of this
convention that one of the main
causes of the low price of cotton,
wheat, sugar and ether agricultu
raj products is the result of the de-
mOnetizatiOn of silver, and a finan-
cial system inadequate to the de-
mands of commerce and trade, and
which we invite the national gov
eminent to remedy; we are also of
the opinion that the production of
too much cotton materially affects
our prosperity, We, therefore, af-
firm that cooperative methods
among farmers to reduce cotton
acreage and lesson production is a
necessity, and for that reason re-
commend the adoption of the reso-
lutions which were passed at Jack
son, Miss, OH the 9th and 10th of
the present month by the National
Cotton Growers Protective AssO-
citation, and urge, by every inter
est, our friends to join this assOcia-
ton and help to carry out It's OBJ
jects which are as follows:
We have not space to give the
articles Of association, as they are
routine and general in their char
acter, and will, we presume, be
published in pamphlet form, but
we publish the above because of it's
decided way of putting the true
cause of low-priced cotton where it
belongs-to scarcity of the circula-
ting medium.
This sensible conclusion was
reached not by Populists altogeth-
er, but by the following able CON-
mittee:
State senators d. w. Pipes, of
East Feliciana, and Geo. w. Mont
gomery, of Madison, j. q. Lee, of
Lincoln, w. q. Vance, of Bossier,
j. NJ. Foster, of Caddo, L. j. Gam
BILE, of NatchItoches, A. V. Rob-
erts, of DeSoto, John Randolph, of
Grant, b. +. Smith, of jackson,
S. Q. Hollingsworth, of Red River
and Fl. G. Olen, of Bienville.
1t is understood, however, that
the gold-bug papers shall have the
right, not only to leave out the
financial part of the above resolu-
tons in publishing, as the N. O.
Times Democrat did, but they shall
further be allowed to denounce the
committee as Populists and ad-
vOcates of "dishonest money"

Attention Populists!

UOO nelpS CnOSe VINO nelp tnem-
selves, and Reform movements
grow in proportion to the work
done for them by the Reformers.
You commenced in 1892 this
fight for better laws, against the
two old parties which had cursed
you with vicious legislation.
At that time Democracy in the
South, and Republicanism in the
North, East and West enjoyed alb
sOlute supremacy.
To question the record or the
purposes of either party was Treas
on in one section or the other.
With a boldness which can never
be too much admired you lifted the
standards of revolt against what
you had discovered to be corrupt a
system of government as ever dis
graced civilized people.
You had everything against you,
the press, the pulpit, the money
power, the office holders, the pref
udice of a generation and the igno-
rance of opponents who gloried in
the amount that they did not know.
So great was your enthusiasm,
so strong your reasons, so Just your
course, that your enemies dared
not meet you save with the weapons
of abuse, ridicule and persecution.
So rapid did the people gather
to your standards that the corrupt
leaders of the old parties could on
ly defeat you by intimidation,
bribery and systematic fraud.
In spite of every obstacle, you
have moved steadily forward, win
ming friends day by day.
The press is more tolerant to-
ward you; the pulpit knows you
better now, and to very encour-
aging extent sympathies with your
attempts to put the religion of Jes-
us Christ into the laws of the land.
Events have demonstrated that
you were right.
Those who abused you now curse
their wicked rulers more bitterly
than ever you have done.
On every page Of recent history
stands proof of your foresight, and
arguments in behalf of your sue
cess.
Your enemies, coming out of a
victorious campaign, are founder
ing in a hopeless bog of tends, fac
tions, imbecilities and nincompoop-
isms.
You, coming out of a loosing
campaign, are united, determined,
full of courage and full of purpose.
You have not fused with Repub-
licans nor Democrats. You have
not sold your convictions for Office.
You have not earned your own
contempt, nor deserved that of 9TH
ers, by showing, in your greed for
Office, that your plea for juster
laws and hOnester rulers was a
sham-battle cry-a mere mask for
the face of the political hypocrite.
You have kept the middle of the
road, you have made manly battles
against wrong, you have won the
respect of your opponents: and you
now number more than half the
votes of the State of Georgia.
You can elect a governor any
day that gives you an honest count.
You can elect at least five con-
gresham whenever ballot-box
stuffing lapses into ''innocuous de-
suetude."
You can elect a majority of the
Legislature, and the United States
Senator in 1895 if we but organ
ize in 1895, and push the work. as
we have done in the past.

Support Your Paper.

This issue makes five months
this paper has been running as the
organ of the Peoples party of
Natchitoches parish, of the 18th
Congressional district, and of the
State of Louisiana, and it is alive
and making a good, readable paper
yet.
But, friend, did YOU hn0w that
if it had not been for the sacrifices
of few big-hearted supporters of
our cause in this city and one or
two in the parish, it would have
suspended long ago.
Have you done your duty, my
friend, by the cause you advocate!
Have you taken any stock in the
paperl Have you even paid your
own subscription! Many of you
have not, and it is shame, not on
the paper, but on you,
We have been faithfully fighting
your battles here and all over the
state and 4th district, and have
succeeded wonderfully well, when
YOU consider the time and energy
we have had to devote to the strug-
gle for existance.
Oh, what a brilliant, spicy,
readable paper we could get up
for you, if you would only do your
part, not somebody elses', but
simply yours!
And what a power this paper
would be in the land and in fight
ing your battles, and how much
stronger and faster would your
cause and your party grow, If
you would only do your duty by
| it!
Suppose you try it, and see the
result. Let everybody that owes
this paper subscription send it
| in now. and see if it does not i'm
prove things, then if it does we'll
tell you what to do next.
Don't wait now, but come right
along
Hard times are pinching you, we
know that, and we are trying to
help you fight the imps of Satan
who made times hard, but if you
sit down, with every joint Timber,
and your tongue lolled out like a
sulled calf in a bog, we tell you
plainly that we'll never, nerer,
NEVER be able to pull you out.
Neither will anybody else pull you
out, and your children will see ten
times harder ways than you are
suffering from.
Oh, its coming, ten times worse
than it is now, and you had better
be up and fighting while yoa can.
We've fought for you in this pa
per and others for four long years
and a half, and now if You don't do
your duty it's ''gone fawn skin. "
Rattle up, and all's well.

PROHIBITION.

As VIC had expected, the Enter
prise publishes this week a con-
glomeration of rot from ga VO-
ter" that is supposed to tie up
this editor @hand and foot"
Mr.. s. Tanner of this city offer
ed us the silly thing over a week
ago, asking us if we would publish
it, but having no space to throw
way, we declined.
We told him at the time that the
Enterprise would publish it, and
that there was the proper place for
it, and SO We find it adjoining the
columns of that delectable paper.
We will notice only one OF the
many places where the scribb!er
traps himself, and that is ia the
following sentence:
We think the vascillating editor
was out climbing for political hick-
0ry nuts, but has seen u bear at
the foot of the prohibition tree,
grinning warningly at him, seated
high and lifted up, and now he
wishes he had never seen the afore-
said tree.
We did not climb the Hprohibi-
ton tree" for the very reason that
we knesc there was a bear at the foot
of it.
In fact, it is trap laid by the
bear himself, and we are not going
to walk into it if VIC can help it,
and we think we can.
Mr.. Tanner seems to be on very
friendly terms with the bear, how
ever, wonder if the fact that the
bear loaned him some money at
~ per cent interest had anything
to do with the prohibition tree.
1t is strange that Mr.. Tanner
should be able to 60 through the
great Anti-Lottery campaign,
which was s'bear' that destroyed
the Farmers Alliance, and crippled
reform SO badly as to set it back
moro than s years, as he did with

COUNTY GOVERNMENT

A recent decision of the state supreme

the coDstitutionality OF the entire COUNTY

the extravaganza and gross Inequalities
of this act would be for the people in
