Augusta Frauds BY An Eve w,tne..

Peoples Party Paper: I was in
Augusta on the I'd of October and saw
some of the damnable work that was
done by Mr.. Blacks friends to defeat
Mr.. Watson. The twenty-one-year-old
negroes were divided into squads with a.
couple or more "heelers" in charge who
would vote the scions of Democracy in
one ward, and then take them to an
other, vote them under another name,
then move on to the next ward and con-
tinue the work Indefinitely. For fear
a mistake would be made, young Demo-
Gratis stood near the polls with polling
lists and the heeler would approach
with his man; be given name and vote
him. The gang of twenty-one-year-o
negroes, instead of leaving the polls
would squat around and wait for the
squad to be moved to the next ward
Electric cars were used to transport
heelers and their men from ward to
ward. When voting Jagged at any pre-
cinct, some good Democrat would bring
word that so and so must report i'm
mediately at the First, Second or such
ward as was tagging. While the regis
tration list was adhered to, any man
with haH brain could see that a few
ignorant negroes were used to poll Mr..
Blacks majority. advise that Mr..
Watson contest the election and do so
as vigorously as possible Sincerely.

We heard the other day of a nation to
which the foregoing figures fully apply.
Less than 10000 people, men, women
and children, are taxed for $4,000, 900
annually, and no one can tell what they
get in return!
1t must be Russiai Can we stand
idly by and see our fellow beings, even
though they know no more of English
than John Norrish does of French, rob-
bed, plundered, impoverished in that
terrible fashion? They are human and,
after their own way, Christians. 1t is
our duty to defend them. Recruiting
quarters will be opened in the Office of
The Representative, and volunteers en-
rolled to march on Moscow and put an
end to this tyranny.
Hold on, Mr.. Donnelly," cried our
foreman, you have got the wrong pig
by the ear. 1t isn't Russia at all. 1t is
true that Russia collects her taxes with
the cat-o'-nine tails, applied to the soles
of the farmers bare feet; and we have
not quite got to that yet; but we're
getting there! Now we simply take
away the farm for one-tenth its value"

Certainly; you saw them in our state

to is Minnesota! Only thirty of forty

magnificent gift of God; and they took
them as a free gift; and now three

one-half; and in the midst of an unex-
ampled abundance, which neither bin
nor cellar nor crib can hold, the people
are in sore straits of sorrow, excepting
the money-lenders and the few who are
out of debt. They have tried every
thing. They tried the Republican party
for thirty years, and the Democratic
party for eight years; and they followed
the Howling Dervishes-the dancing
Judases-into the mud Of the Dismal
Swamp, and they can't go any further

QUESTION OF LANDLoRDIsM.
The Land Question Is an Important
One.


One.
Lord Scully, who owns 100000 acres
of Illinois land, whole county in Kan
sas, besides other large tracts in Kansas
and Nebraska $4,000 acres in Nuckols
county and 10000 in Cage, has decided
to become citizen of this country and
will settle in New York city. He does
this because of the tendency in sew
eral states (where Populists are num-
erous) to deal with alien landlords. He
will thus, through citizenship, retain
his lordly tribute and secure protection.
If rent to foreigners, tribute to an alien
power, is a bad thing, dangerous
thing, which might lead gradually to
complete subsection to foreign owner
ship of the whole country, what better
is it to support landlords at home?
That is what So per cent of our own
people are now doing. Fifty-two per
cent Of our people are renters, accord
ing to the census of 1890, and no doubt
tens of thousands of families have lost
their homes through mortgage fore
closures since then.
II rent is all right, a good thing,
Scully, the rack renter, is all right, Ire
land Is all right, and America under the
present and increasing tribute to land
lords is and will be all right
Scully never did days work in
America. He bought his Illinois land
at S1.25 per acre and paid for much of
it in soldiers land warrants, SO that 1t
cost him not to exceed so and Is cents
an acre. Without putting on any i'm
provements he has rented it for an in
creasing sum and now gets So to 81 an
their own novels and live like dogs in
kennels. In Nebraska and Kansas the
same general plan is pursued. He
bought his land of the government and
paid for it in scrip. Wild land he first
rented out for series of years, charg-
ing the renter the first year the taxes,
the second year the taxes and 25 cents
an acre, the third year the taxes and so
cents an acre. After that his agent
made such terms as he could. In all
cases renters have to make their OWL
improvements, which they can take
away with them or sell to renters who
take their places. OF course only the
most temporary, cheap improvements
are made. The renters live in novels
instead Of houses. The roads are moi
worked, the country is not improved
each renter cares only to get present re.
turns and is not citizen who takes an
interest in the country.
But this is what landlordism leads to
Let us not forget that the land question
Is a fundamental and overshadowins

Senator Allen ON the Silver Party.

Senator Allen, of Nebraska, speaking
at Butte, Mont, on Labor day, said:
II think that the disposition to put a
strictly silver party in the field is con-
fined to the mining states, and / am
very doubtful of the wisdom of the
movement. Those who are urging it
are making great mistake. There are
many silver men who believe the Pop
ulist party is simply temporary
growth and that it will soon disappear
with slightly changed conditions.
Therefore there are many who urge the
organization of straight silver party,
but they are making a great mistake,
in my Judgment. The Populist party
is as well founded, and for its numbers,
as we'll organized, and as determined
as any other political party, and it has
come to stay. We will not be absorbed
by any other political party, and we ex-
pect to open our doors sufficiently wide
to admit all honest men who want to
see reform in our government. There
is no doubt that there will be an over
hauling of the Omaha platform to some
extent, but its cardinal principles will
be maintained. I think that the So
called sub-treasury scheme will be
eliminated. At least I hope and look
for some revision of the minor de-
tails"

THE PEOPLES CANDIDATES.
The Only Advocates of Honest Leglsla-

tion for the People.
In the absence of any argument they
can offer against the Coxey bills, an
occasional Republican or Democrat will
say: I'D be ashamed to vote for
hobo, horse jockey, man with wheels
in his head, etc." Gen. Coxey does own
a stock farm where he raises fine blood
ed horses; he did conduct an army OF
poor men down to Washington to fur
nish congress with an object lesson,
showing to what end their legislation
was tending, (filling the country with
tramps and pauperizing the farming
and labor interests); he does believe
that the poor people Of this land have
some rights that should be sacred even
to congress, and that they should be
furnished with steady employment at
fair wages, and that they be exempt
from paying further usury to the Shy
locks who have already reduced them
to state of slavish beggary. Is there
anything in all this to be ashamed Of?
We are ashamed of some things, how
ever. We are ashamed that we have
given so many of our votes in the past
to perpetuate in Office such men as
John Sherman, who has become multi
millionaire by repeatedly selling his
| vote in the senate to the Wall street
sharks in order that their pet schemes
for controlling the currency, as we'll as
the government itself, might be perpet-
uated. Certain it is, he has not become
so wealthy on $4,000 salary, and that
he voted for the sharks he does not
deny, as the congressional record stands
out against him too plainly.
The whole country is ashamed of
Grover Cleveland and his administra-
ton, and yet the financial views of that
gentleman are in perfect harmony with
the golden calf idol (Sherman) set up
and worshipped by the Republican
party.
And who is it who is not ashamed of
Cal Brice, Mr.. Coxey's opponent for
the governorship of Ohio, in the meth
DDS by which he is conducting the cam
paign?
No, we are not ashamed of Mr.. Coxey
and are not afraid to compare his rec
ord with any of the gold bugs. He
stands today the only advocate of hon.
est legislation for the people of the
three candidates for governor of Ohio
and should have the support of every
poor man in the state.-Press- Review

The bankers are said to be playing
the same BOBBY game that Secretary
Morton tried on the employees of the
agricultural department. They have
received advice from Wall street to pay
out silver to farmers who receive checks
in selling their produce. Thus it is
hoped to create sentiment against sill
yer on account of its bulk. But the
farmers are willing to take all the sill
yer they can get-and only wish prices
were better SO that they could get more
Of it. Then, too, 1t is funny that these
honest money" bankers would pay
their obligations in cheap dollars, when
gold is so plentiful.
