himself, in writing to the negro, James
A. Ross, addressed him as My Dear
Sir just as though Ross had been a
white man.

questions before it votes for him

from Roosevelt on the negro question:

"Second-Would you refuse to ap-

social equality is practically made a
matter of compulsion!
"Fifth-If such schools, wherein black
children and white children are edu-

Contempt for Common Labor

In his pulpit at the Vine Street Con-
gregational church. Cincinnati, o.,
Sunday, September 4, the pastor, Her
bert S. Bigelow, in the course of
special Labor day address, said:
Labor is disgrace That is not as
it should be, but as it is, in our up
side-down world. In America we have
no aristocracy in the exact European
sense. But there is to be found among
us servile spirit and spirit of snob-
bishness and these are the seeds Of
all royalty and caste.

back on. For thirty years they have
been doing business on the Niger and
today he is their only stock in trade.
Mote the hypocrisy OF it. In their
national platform of 1872 they solemn
ly protested their allegiance to the
doctrine of equality regardless OF race
or color, and pledged themselves to
maintain the emancipation and the
enfranchisement Of tRe blacks.
I'm 1876 at st. Louis-Henry Wat
terson being chairman Of the conven-
tion-they solemnly declared their de-
|votion to the constitutional amend
ments growing out or the civil war.
I'm 1880, in 1884, in 1883, the ma
tional conventions or the democratic
party reaffirmed these declarations on
the negro question, ana thus stood
pledged to oppose any reopening OF
the questions settled by the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.
Yet, after all these formal pledges, we
are now browbeaten and inundated
by democratic leaders who say we
must endorse their capltulation to
Belmont, David B. Hill. and Pat Nc
Carren, because of the niger What
can the southern negro do? He has
been disfranchised IN nearly every
southern state, excepting Georgia, and
in Georgia he has been white pri-
married. In Georgia they do not dare
to disfranchise him recause the men
who control the democratic machine
in Georgia know that the majority
of the whites are against them. They
need the negro vote to beat us with.
For that reason the Georgia senate
few days ago, killed the Australian
ballot law which would have thrown
the elections entirely in the hands OF
the whites. Why do democrats in
Georgia refuse to dfsfranchise the
blacks? Why do they kill election
laws which would insure the political
.obliteration of the blacks? There can
be but one answer. Organized dem
ocracy in Georgia cannot be main
tanned by the white vote. Therefore,
the cry that we are in danger from
the niger is the most hypocritical
that INSCRIPTIONS leadership could in
vent. Grant. Sherman and Sheridan,
with all their armies, could not reverse
the law of nature in the PROSTATE
south. The white man is MASTER
wherever he plants his foot the world
over. Do you tell me that Roosevelt
can do against the recuperated south
what Thad Stevens could not do
against the exhausted south? Roose-
welt could not do it even if he would.
"The democratic leaders who talk
this stuff, and the editors who write
it, laugh and wink at one another as
they pass; they know what a humbug
it all is, and how it IS being used to
make the people forget, or condone,
the inglorious surrender to Wall
street which they mace at ST. Louis.

JEFFERSON Of 1904

AS the campaign progresses, the fact
that the only candidate for president
that represents true Jeffersonian doc
trines is the peoples party candidate,
that mighty tribune OF the people
Thomas q. Watson. AS he warns up
to the gravity of the situation that
confronts the American people, the
old blood that courses through his
veins. the inheritance OF revolution
AIRY ancestry. fires him to fights OF
eloauence, the equal OF which is not
witnessed in this campaign.
Not even the el0Quence OF Bryan
can this year approach him. Flo
0uence is the result OF the spontaneous
action OF sincere heart. When Mr.
BRYAN was pleading the cause OF the
plain people, he seemed to be inspired,
his eloquence was SO reryid. But now,
pleading for Wall streets interests,
his tongue cleaves to the roof OF ms
mouth. and though he speaks, MS
utterances do not carry conviction.
lust the contrary Is the case with
Mr.. Watson He knows that SO lar
as election is concerned he cannot
hone for success. yot because his
election is not deserved; not because
the people do not desire him; put
solely because the powers that con-
troll elections in free America have
decreed that one of the two heads OIL
the republican party-either Roosevelt
or Parker-must be erected.
But Mr.. Watson knows that II Tree
institutions are to continue In Amer
lea. then it will be necessary that
a large vote. not less than three mill
lion, must be registered against these
two candidates, if the people are TO
be considered at ALL He knows that
II all the American people cast their
votes for Roosevelt and Parker, then
free institutions are threatened. But
with a vote of three millions cast
against present tendencies, then It Will
remain a threat against those who
would betray the ideals of 1776. 1t is
this thought that is firing to eloquence
the tongues OF those who are pleading
the peoples party cause in this cam
paign.
At the state convention of the peo-
pies party of Georgia, held at Atlanta
September 1, 1904, an immense audi
ence crowded the hall of the house
of representatives, where the conyen-
ton was held, Mr.. Watson spoke in
part as follows:
I'm this campaign the democratic
national leaders have prostituted the
name of democrat, and are demanding
that they shall be blindly followed in
spite of the fact that they have re-
nounced every principle of democracy
Will the real democrats follow the
name rather than the principle?
I'm the south we are told we must
submit to the surrender to Wall street
because of the niger. What a blessed
thing it is for democratic leaders that

| The doctrine is everything. l call
upon all Jeffersonian democrats to help
me make this fight against the two
republican parties, headed by Roose-
welt and Parker. What do we need
with two parties committed to Wall
street? Let us have one for the people.
"Why should Georgians support Par
ker of New York rather than fellow
Georgian? What do you know of Par
ker? What has he done that was nota-
BILE? What has he ever said that was
memorable? What has he ever written
that stamped him with individuality?
David B. Hill declared at st.
Louis that he had been intimate with
Parker for thirty years, and that he
did not know how Parker stood on the
money question. Was this statement
true? If SO, Parker is the most mega
tive public act on the American con-
tinent. Was the statement false? II
SD, David B. Hill is the boldest liar
between the two oceans. Think of
man living on intimate terms with
gospel of our fathers and into political
slavery to the Hamiltonians of New
York.

him understand that if he do violence
to sense of right, the whipcords Of
outraged conscience are as certain as
fate.

can any man reasonably hope to Sc

when we see it bossed by the same
old Wall street which debauched Cleve-
lanl's second administration? Bryan
has been fighting Cor reform inside the
party and is further off from success
than ever before. At st. Louis every
empty honor that was worth absolutely
nothing was given to southern leaders.
In return for childish Qualifications,
chairmanships, etc., they delivered
both the south and the west to Wall

never have done it, denounced Bryan
