WATSON'S VIEWS.
The Geor gian's Opinion of Roosevelt
and Parker.

Thomas f. Watson, the candidate of
the Peoples party, is getting a great
deal of amusement out of what he calls
the independent side-show of his own,
of which he is Sin full militant agrees
sve control" He says he respects
Roosevelt and the Republicans because
they know what they want are candid
in stating their position and fearless in
fighting for their principles. He prefers
Roosevelt to Parker, because the former
lis not seeking the support of Bryan
Democrats upon false pretenses. He is
not playing a confidence game on the
negro question. He is not attempting
to win Jeffersonians by a sham adher-
ence to Jeffersonian principles. He is
not in ambush; he is behind no blind >;
he stands out in the open and says to his
enemies: Here | am, a Republican
who stands pat on all existing conditions:
If you want a fight. cone on.
Mr.. Watson's letter is full of vitriOlic
contempt for Judge Parker as weakhng
and artful dodger. 1t ridicules his posi-
ton on the pension question and says
his pledge to revoke Order No. rs
amounts to saying. Roosevelt did the
right thing, but not in the right way,
and if you will elect me President |
will do the same thing in the proper
way"
As to the Democracy itself Mr.. Wat
son asks:
"Who could put faith in the pledges
of the party which has so little unity
of conviction as the National Demo
cracyy'
What party ever made and broke 50
many pledges?"
What party ever changed its ground
so often?"
what other party ever unloaded all
of its principles at one quick throw
down as they did at st. I.0nisT
Candor compels the answer None.
II remains the party of nothing but big
professions. unfulflled promises aud
pledges.

FOR HOME AND PRESIDE.
Lincoln Signed Homestead Law-Mii-
Hons Thus Become FreehoIders.

Ihe Homestead Law was passed by a
Republican Congress-Democrats oppos-
ing-and signed by President Abraham
Lincoln in 1862. 1t has proven TO be
one of the most beneficial measures ever
enacted by a Congress or signed by a
President. 1t has largely populated the
West, up to date, with independent
homecoming citizens. 1t opened to inn
mediate settlement millions OF acres OF
public domain, chiefly west OF the Mis-
slsslppl Settlers rushed in from the
Eastern States and from Europe. More
than any other influence, it has contrib
uted to the development of the Western
States and the rapid growth of the ma
ton.
The Democratic party was true to it's
policy of obstruction in this. as it has
been in every other measure intended
for the good of all the people. The first
bill. introduced in 1850. passed the
House by vote Of 100 to 10. The Re
publicans were supported by few scat
tering Northern Democratic votes, but
the Southern Democrats voted in a body
against it. The Senate was then Demo
cratic, and no vote was taken in the up
per house. In March, 1860, Mr.. Love
joy reported the Grow Homestead bill.
and it was passed by a vote of 115 to
TO; all Of the affirmative votes. except
one. being from the free States. The
Senate passed a different bill and there
was a conference which finally agreed
upon a modified bin. This was vetoed
June %. 1860, by the Democratic Presi-
dent. Buchanan.
In 1862, when the Republicans had
majority of 81 in the House and II in
the Senate, new homestead bill was
passed and signed by President Lincoln,
as stated. The measure was framed by
Republicans and passed by Republican
votes. At the same session were passed
the acts establishing Department OF
Agriculture and providing for agricul-
tural colleges. In 1864, 1870 and 1872
bills were passed by Republicans giving
Union soldiers special homestead priv
ileges. These measures encourage thou
sands of soldiers who were discharged
in 1865 and 1866 to emigrate from the
East to such States as Iowa, Nebraska
Kansas and the Dakotas in the middle
West.
There are many and strong reasons
why the western farmers, ranchmen and
miners should vote the Republican ticket
but the national Republican legislation
that gave homesteads to millions is
enough. of itself, to bind the West ire
