ceived and I herewith enclose you money

subscription past due. Your middle-of-
the-road paper suits me all 0. K. AS |
believe the only hope Of the country Is
In the triumph Of the principles OF the
Peoples party.
Tell the boys in the West to stand
by the boys in the South and not fuse
with either old party.
If they could only realize the way we
have been treated here In Georgia,
counted out, abused. ridiculed. and ostra-
cised. I believe they would stand by us;
or if they knew as much about the Dem
ocratic party and it's leaders here in the
South as we do, they would not think
of fusing with them. They do not want
free silver or anything else but Office.
To substantiate my assertion. I refer
you to the action of the last Georgia
legislature with its large Democratic
majority, when a bill was before the
house making gold contracts illegal. the
Populists supported it unanimously with
a few Democrats voting for it, but the
large majority voted against the bill.
Now this same gang will make silver
speeches all over Georgia during the
coming campaign declaring that the old
party has always been for free silver
and some have already announced their
candidacy for congress and various other
offices on a free silver platform.
What madness, citizens. is this?
Have you not learned enough of Grecian
fraud to be on your, guard against it?
For my part, 1 fear the Greeks even
when they offer gifts"
Let us profit by the lessons of the past
and not put confidence in those who do
not merit our esteem and confidence.
Let us line up for the fight, elect seventy
five congressman this year and in 1900
obliterate the two old parties from the
face of the globe. Yours for true Popu-
lism. LIONEL A. MOORE.

My Dear Friend:
l am in receipt of The Representative,
containing two faces, one we'll known to

type of candor, intellect, virtue and in
tegrity-f1rm enough, but expressing the
fact that she can make a man happy,
when she loves him. l am sure that you
have done we'll to accomplish such a
purpose; and desire to tender to both
OF you my sincere wishes for your
happy life, free from cares, Independent,

What my views are, as given to you long

word as follows:
ITO The Editor: Mr.. Goschen, chan
cellor of the exchequer and one OF the
great statesmen of England, in 1883
said:
The fall Of prices comes from the
rise Of GOLD. Fortunate are they who
own sovereigns (gold). and unfortunate
are they who own commodities, pro-
ducts and other goods
Herein nes the whole truth in
nutshell and the secret of the depres-
sion Of the times. The rise of gold In
the United States was caused by the de-
monetizatfon of silver, and by funding
the greenbacks into bonds, when they
should have been left in the hands Of
the people as circulating medium. We
shall have no better times until we have
more legal tender money in circulation,
whether OF coin or paper. Fifty years
ago the banks in Ohio were authorized
by law to issue three paper dollars for
ouo uoIIdI III specie (SllVer) IN Cnelr
vaults. Gold was an unknown quantity
and rarely SEEM The unit of value was
the standard silver dollar of 412h or.
There was no gold dollar in existence.

The Spanish, It Is believed, have ask
ed to have the Cuban debt assumed py
the United States, urging that the DEBT
should pass with the sovereignty. The
debt so presented for American as
sumption covers the expense OF the
ten years insurreotIon, the recent IN

The Americans probably have replied
that if indeed any part OF Che so-eaI!eo

Cured in suppressing inaurreetions or
in the war with the United States is
not allowable.
The Spanish will doubtless also urge
equities in stocks, water front better

war materials. It Is possible that this
contention will receive consideration on
the basis OF equities between moFtga-
ger and mortgagee.
