Getting Scared.

The patriotic Democratic pie eaters
and pap uckers are showing their teeth
since it has been announce d that bill
will be introduced at this session of the
legislature to inaugurste the salary
instead of the fee system in Fulton
county. Letters have been sent out to
the horde of county officers all over the
state to assemble in Atlanta to lobby
against the bill. They fear that if
adopted by Fulton that it will be
caught up by other counties, and it
should be. The idea of county officers,
solicitors and all that gang of hungry
greedy fellows growing rich and indie
pendent, while the poor devil of q far
mer can't buy winter clothes for his
family and is forced to sell cotton seed
in order to raise money to pay his
taxes, is all wrong. Pay them salaries
for the labor done and if they don't
like the amounts given to them, there
is no law under heaven to force them
to run for these Offices and as General
Toombs once said ther yer would
be dearth of cand date nd the peo-
pie could and would generally pick out
a good man and if he did not like the
pay, be could pour it back in the jug.
These are nice hirelings to assemble in
Atlanta to tell the people how they
aha' | be paid.

means The greatness and happiness of
the human race.
While we have nothing but kindly
feelings towards the rank and iile Of
our late allies, we do not believe that
the question of free silver is in itself IA
broad enough platform for national
party The RECOMMENDATION of silver
would, we believe, increase the price of
labor and It's productions by increasing
the suRply of money, and IL Is therefore
u matter of the utmost consequence to
all the people Of the United States: but
it must not be forgotten that the open
ing Of the mints TO silver would not de-
cresse one iota the robberes of the cor
porations, the uaurers, the rings and
the trusts. 1t will avail nothing to
add TO the value of labor and It's pro-
auctions If the eXactions of plunderers
are permitted to increase In equal or
Freater proportion.
AS our Democratic brethren had not
patriotism enough to adept free silver
until we had popularized it, would they
not slump back to their first wretched
state If the Peoples party were to stop
its missionary work?
The democracy may be TT to assist in
handling single temporary side issue
like free silver, but the welfare of man
kind and the interests of all the ages
demand the continued existence of the
Peoples party. Free institutions can
not survive its destruction. 1t has done
more for mankind in five years than
any other party has accomplished in
twenty-five years. All arguments have
ceased against its principles; there is
nothing left but miSre presentati N.

United States. It has eliminated the
last lingering bitterness of the civil
war. There is no fraternal blood on
its garments. Its mission is education
and peace. 1t win eventually make us

ments of mutual esteem and love from

l. We demand the election of presi-
dent, vice president and United States
senators by direct vote of the people
2. We tender to the patriotic people
of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their
heroic struggle for political freedom
and independence, and we believe the
time has come when the United States,
the great republic Of the world, should
recognize that Cuba is, and of right
ought to be, a free and independent
state.
8. We favor home rule in the terri
tories and the District of Columbia and
the early admission of the territories as
states
4. All public salaries should be made
to correspond to the price Of labor and
its products.
8. In times Of great industrial de-
preston idle labor should be employed
on public works as far as practicable.
6. The arbitrary course of the courts
in assuming to imprison citizens for in
direct contempt and ruling them by in
junction should be prevented by proper
legislation.
7. We favor just pensions for our dis
abled Union soldiers.
s. Believing that the elective fran
chise and untrammeled ballot are essen
tial to a government for and by the peo-
pie, the Peoples Party condemns the
wholesale system of disfranchisement
adopted in some of the states as unre-
publican and undemocratic, and we de-
clare it to be the duty of the several
state legislatures to take such action as
will secure full, free and fair ballot
and an honest count
8. While the foregoing propositions
constitute the platform on which our
party stands, and for the vindication of
which it's organization will be main
tanned, we recognize that the great and
pressing issue Of the pending campaign
upon which the present presidential
election will turn is the financial ques-
ton, and upon this great and specific
issue between the parties we cordially
invite the aid and cooperation of all Or
CARNATIONS and citizens agreeing with
ua uDon this vital question
