AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.
The Taxation of Railroad Lands.

Editor Representative.
In looking over the Henning Advocate
I notice a call for a non-partisan conven-
ton to be held at Aiken Mimi. for the
purpose of devisng ways and means of
opening a campaign Of education on the
merits of the Anderson bill Ito tax unused
railroad lands) with view of bringing
about it's ratification at the polls next No
vember. The call is signed by the chair
man of the Republican, Democratic and
Populist county committee for said county
of Aitken, and while am in favor of tax
ing the unused lands belonging to the rail-
road companies, I am of the opinion that
as soon as the state constitution or laws
are changed, making it possible to tax
said lands, you destroy the constitutional
ity of the income tax already declared by
the supreme court of the United States.
II this be the case / would take issue
against the ratification SO urged. This
matter has the appearance Of being in the
interest of the settler especially Of those
living in the northwestern part of the state.
but if the state is to lose the $3.50, 900 yearly
from the gross receipts of the railroad
company by taxing their lands in the in
terest of a small portion of the inha bitants
of the state it is unwise and decidedly un-
profitable.
The measure of itself is Of suspicious
nature.

about in the dwelling place of Republ-
can camp, where every proposition to aid

The Gold Advocates Take to the Hills, and

Editor Representative:
On Feb. 18th there was held debate
in the town of Hawk Creek on the follow
ing: Resolved that we at once enter upon
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1871 independent of other nations
The debate was good one and the gold
bugs got the worst of it. 1t was de-
cided to continue the debate on the 18th
in Sacred Heart and a goodly audience
gathered although it was bitter cold and
a terrible Northwestern was blowing, we
waited over an hour after the time that
was set but the defenders of gold did not
show up The towards they do not dare
to meet us on the platform they know they
canot lie and make people believe it, so
they simply ignore the living issue and 20
out on the still hunt and talk about tariff
until it makes most vehement stink. 1t
must be poor cause that cannot stand
the light. What do you think of yourself,
republican brothers Do you know where
you are at? You are standing looking on
that the country is going to the dogs,
Offering no remedy, and yet you are fight
ing the men that are offering remedies to
save this union from disaster and ruin.
Who wants to wrench the reins of govern
ment from human greed and give the
cause of justice fair play Is it not your
duty as loyal and true citizens to invest-
gate and study these things. throw away
party prejudice, and work for the good of
the great American people, VINO are Suf-
fering and let the classes take care of
themselves, which they certainly are able
to do. You are helping with your talk
and vote the Plutocrats to prolong their
reign, just because you are SO COMPOUNDED
prejudiced that you will rather defend
the wrong than leave the G. 0. P!
Gentlemen, do not tarry until it will be
too late. The happiness of yourself and
pOsterity depends upon your action now:
and it is of such great Importance that
party ties ought not for a moment to be
considered: and yet these hold back thous-
ands from joining the ranks of the reform
forces. Yours for the cause of humanity,

and killed. In four years 1000 persons
had been killed and 5000 manned and
crippled for life. Such jury and judge
would have convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary or the ga1fOws the kings
of the Southern Pacific railroad for muir
dering five settlers Of the Mussel Slough
country. in California, whose only crime
was in protecting their hearthStones and
demanding that these kings do not violate
their contract and rob them Of their life of
labor.
The federal judges to whom the railroad
mands.
Many an honest jury could have been
summoned from the entire outraged COM
munity at the time, but what did it profit
the victims with the enemy in possession
of wealth for all practical purposes and
greed standing in the doorway?
The San Francisco Examiner for Febru-
ary 1892, says: "Our judges, state and
federal. have already in many California
case taught us that there exists principle
which will be applied by the bench when
needed. That principle is that men who
are influential enough to make and I'M
make judges can do as they please"
John ]. ingalls,, in the Atchison Daily
Champion of March 3, $780, thus speaks
of Judge Horton, then chef justice Of the
state:
During this long period he has habitu-
ally trafficked in justice, defending his
clients. No fouler exhibition ever dis
graced the most degraded epoch Of the
English judiciary. Instead of sitting in
judgment on the lives. the liberties and the
estates of the people. the culprit should be
summoned to answer for his crimes and
be consigned to a felon's CELL
1t is unnecessary to add unto this list of
shame which could be made larger than
the moral law.
So long as our government constitutes
a government of purchased privileges. SO
long justice will remain commodity
in the market and sold upon the block.
What can be done about it? you ask.
Everything can be done about it,
To inaugurate a new era in administra-
tive affairs is not impossible If the people
will it. Union is the secret. A united peo-
pie is the power of the world.
Why do we not form in line? What
are we waiting for?
Is it that we may grow to look alike be-
fore we deign to touch each others hands?
1t is hoped that the oppressed may not
prove their own executioners at last.

THE LEAGUE MEETING.
The Peoples Party league meeting was
held in the large assembly room of the
City hall Saturday evening, and the seat
ing capacity was all taken up, large
number stood up, and many went away
for lack of room. The attendance was
certainly very gratifying. Some came
from Elysian and Kilkenny. The even
ing's program was well given. The quar-
tette and orchestra rendered the following
songs: 1.-The Sweetest Voice. Tramp
Tramp, Tramp THE Life of the Nation
is Money and America" An address
was made by F. c. Gibbs. president of the
league, on 1.-The Object and Aims of the
Peoples Party league" Rev c. o. Ro-
chr gave an address on the Duties of the
Christian Voter" which was received
with great applause. DR.. Fallows also
gave a talk on the Initiative and the
Referendum DR.. Powers, of ST. Paul
who was advertised to be present, was
not able to be here, to the disappointment
of all.
In addition to the singing and speaking
three little girls, Velzora Gibbs, Nellie
Chambers and Nellie Russell each recited
a piece appropriate to the occasion, all
very good, especially the last, which was
about the Pops are up and popping
Miss Mabel Gibbs read piece very APP
propriate, and Rev. e. Todd led in prayer.
The league orchestra also furnished
music for the occasion. They have just
received q fine, new bass viol, and soon
expect to have six parts. This, in con-
nection with the quartette, will give the
latest reform songs of the day, besides
other music

Editor Representatives:
l am glad to read in Wilmar Tribune,
DIR. Johnsons refutation of that malicious
false statement of Paradis of the Midway
News" There is not more imperious
dictator in western politics than Ignatius
Donnelly." Dr. johnson speaks out as
an honest man, one who would know as
fully as Paradis, If above words could just
ly be applied to Mr.. Donnelly. have read
and heard of men being struck dumb-it
being pointed out as divine wrath, now it
occurs to me that the only reason such
malicious vilifer as Paradis is not struck
dumb is either the Lord cannot do such
malicious Whelps justice or he is reservlng
them for some future awful example;
for the sake of humanity it is to be hoped
that future is not far distant.
believe have been about as intimately
associated with Mr.. Donnelly the past five
years on committees, etc.. as any one in
the state, and I do not believe there is
any one in the state who would more
quickly rebuke "imperious dictation" than
l would, yet in all my association with Mr.
DOnnelly I have ever found him the most
considerate of opinions and suggestions
of others. / also have been surprised at
how readily Mr.. Donnelly yields his OPP
inions or considers the suggestions of
OtnerS so long as they pear the stamp OF
honesty. l consider that Mr.. Donnelly's
fearless attacks upon dishonest opinions
and suggestions, calls forth the applause
and praise of all who have the cause of
humanity at heart.
If Paradis knows no better than to make
such false statements then he should be
placed in a spanking box. If he does
know better and makes them out of pure
'cEssedness' then the devil should hasten
to claim his own, he certainly is only
blight and a curse if allowed to remain
among decent people
Such statements have been made so
persistently by the hireling press for the
past thirty years that poor, forlorn NOR
tails, who have never seen Mr.. Donnelly,
mouth them over and think they are dis
playing great wisdom, not having grey
matter enough in their brains to know
that Mr.. Donnelly has done and is doing
more for them than a state full Of Par
adises and Wheelocks could or would do
for them in a thousand years.
