farmers Union All Riqht.

The reports put in circulation by Harvie
Jordan to the effect that he and Charles S.
Barrett had become allies, and that henceforth
the Farmers Union would work in co-opera-
ton with Hoadley's Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, turned out to be unfounded, just as we
predicted that they would.
Charles Barrett is an honest man. as to
Harvie Jordan, he is just about as sleek spy
in the agricultural camp as the Manufacture
ers Association could want.
When the President of The Southern Cot
ton Association has to rely upon Joe Hoadley
for a certificate of character, it is high time
for the farmers to catch on to the game.
Jordan is nothing in the world but the tool
of Wall Street cotton gamblers and the Spe-
cial Privilege manufacturers.
The Farmers Union wants to steer clear of
all entangling alliances. Least of all does it
want suspicious connection with a u1ongrel
Association which Harvie Jordan has discred-
tied and demoralized.
The Southern Cotton Association, properly
led might have been power for good.
Prostituted by Jordan, it is no more than
side-track movement of the Manufacturers
Association

transportation should be carried into effect
the Government abolishing national banks and
private ownership of transportation lines, the
rebate would be impossible, determinations
would cease, equality would prevail, and there
would be no collusion between the national
banks and the railroads by which Trusts are
made invincible.
While the Socialists are claiming that the
only way to escape the evils of the present sys-
tenn OF government is to overturn it, we Jef-
tersonlans contend that Special Privilege is
responsible tor all our woes, and that the abol-
1tlon OF Special Privilege would restore the
reign of Equal Rights.
With equality of Opportunity and of Rights
under the law, we would have as perfect a
system of government as is possible in this
world

Editorial Notes.

The Special Privilege Corporations are de-
termined not to relax their grip on the u. S.
Senate. They have it in the hollow of their
hands, and they mean to keep it.
Thus, in Mississippi, they are hustling for
John Sharp Williams their very useful tool.
The Jeffersonian happens to remember three
occasions upon which John Sharp canned the
gratitude of the robber corporations:
I. When he "called time" on the debate
on the renewal of the Standard Oil Company's
shady "lease" of the Indian oil lands-thus
shutting off those Congressman who wanted
to make speeches against the Standard OIL
grab.
2. When he stood in with the Republicans
of the House to defeat the Hearst Rate bill
the only effective measure that was pending
at the time, and the only one that the robber
corporations really feared
3. When he allowed a minority in the
House to sneak the Ship Subsidy bill through
thus giving to the Harrnlaus, Hills, Nor
gans and Spreckles donation out of the pub
lie funds for sending their own ships to sea.
John Sharp Williams was the leader Of the
Democrats in the House; the Ship Sub
sidy measure a majority of the House were
with him; yet he so mismanaged the business
that the minority defeated the majority!
The railroads have what they call party
rate,' which they give to amusement compa-
nies of ten, or more, members travelling to-
gether.

propositions, one of which is the reverse Of
the other. Either that, or they are claiming
to be above the law. If it be conceded that
the State can impose no burden on the rail-
road which will make it impossible for the
company to earn dividends on it's capitaiza-
ton, it certainly follows that the State has
right to know what is the actual, bona hde
capitalization. The STATE representing the
public, is vitality interested Ill the question of
capitalization, for the reason that the corpora
tions claim exemptions based upon capitaliza-
ton.
Either this must be admitted, or the corpor-
ations must boldly claim to be above all State
control. In that case, they are consistent
but they will find Jordan hard road to
travel"
The Southern Express Company charged me
$40 for the carriage of box of oranges,
worth So, from Fort Lauderdale, Fla, to
Thomson, Ga.
Nothing *'confscatory' in that, you see
| am sorry that the charges were paid and the
oranges taken out of the express office.
1t would have been sight worth seeing to
have had the express agent and the depot
agent get together and eat the oranges, while
seated on that eight dollar pile of lumber for
WLlCH Illc ldllIOdQ company charged me
S57.4o freight, from Thomson to Fort Lauder
dale. Poor, down-trodden corporations! Mr..
Cleveland says they are having hard time.
Jake Schiff, the Wall Street banker who
managed the scoop operations which took the
Union Pacific Railroad away from the receiv-
ers of the y. S. Government, has been indulg
ing in oratory. When men like Jake Schiff
"drap" into oratory, the results are generally
interesting.
Jake says he is "flled with admiration for
men like Rockefeller and Morgan"
Why SO, Jake?
Because 'their wealth is like a reservoir into
which run little streams from the mountains
which, of themselves, would be of no use to
mankind"
Little mountain streams running into Rock
efellers and Morgans, and thus creating a
great, useful store of water would be a beau-
tiful simile were it not for the fact that when
the mountain streams-the small men of busi-
ness-Aow into the big pond of Monopoly,
that is the last of the mountain streams.
Ten thousand mountain streams dried up
forever by Rockefeller's monopoly, is pro-
cess of accumulation not good for the noun
tain streams nor for the people whose wants
were supplied by these independent rivulets.

WATsONS WEEKLY JEFFERsoN1AN.

VI ten people, all travelling together from the
same station to the same destination, shouldn't
look as good to the railroads as an "amuse-
ment company" Therefore, the Commission
has decided that the railroads shall give the
benefit of the reduced party rate' to the gen.
eral public.
Now, let us see whether the corporations
will obey, or will summon the railroad lawyers
to interpose the plea of "con6scatory."
Why should minstrel troupe be given
lower passenger rate than baseball club, or
a football team, or picnic party, or polti-
cal, educational or religious delegation? Why
should party of ten actors on their way to
the theatre, be given a lower rate than ten
mourners on their way to funeral? There
is no sense in the discrimination. Any party
of ten should mean the same to transporta-
ton company as any other whether it is COM
posed of comedians or mourners, townmen
or countrymen, professionals or amateurs,
pleasure-seekers or business men.
Therefore, the decision of the Commerce
Commission would seem to be unquestionably
right.
President W. W. Finley of the Southern
Rai1-robber combine is still being rolled
around to banquets, where he reads his piece
to Chambers of Commerce and Boards of
Trade. Memphis got the last dose. AS re-
ported in the newspapers, Finley told the ban
queters at Memphis that "this whole question
of capitalization" is the business of the capi-
talists who hold the securities, and not of the
general public.
To everybody, excepting the owners of rail-
road stocks and bonds Finley virtually says,
"The question of capitalization is none of your
business!
This is a polite, up-to-date rendition of the
Vanderbilt doctrine of "the people be
damned"
Now, if the arrogant, self-suficient Lawton
Lieutenant Lawton, of Savannah-had made
a speech of that supercilious sort The Jeffer-
sonian would have thought it nothing strange.
But we are surprised to find Finley, of the
illegal Southern combine, holding his head so
haughtily high.
"None of your business how much we over
capitalize our railroads." Thus, in effect, did
Finley break in upon the wine and the wassail
at Memphis.
The champagne must have flown to his
head early in the evening, and Finley must
have extemporized little.
Such talk is mere madness. It is a dare
to indignant public opinion. Every citizen
who knows anything at all is thoroughly
aware of the fact that railroad securities cam
not be unloaded upon the market unless there
is confidence in their capacity to earn divi-
dends.
Consequently, issues of new stocks and
bonds are always based upon what is claimed
to be the earning capacity of the roads.
This being so, the self-nterest of the manip-
ulators of the railroad securities IN having the
property so managed as to add value to ar

J, Adam Ri ster.

After sojourn of nearly 81 years,
Adam Rister has fallen peacefully
asleep and rests with his fathers and
one more mound marks the last rest
ing place: of another Christian citizen
and soldier.
In early manhood he married Ra-
chel King to whom were born several
children. His wife preceded him to
the Eternal City. He now sleeps be-
side the church of which he was a
faithful member for sixty years and
a deacon for over forty years. 1t has
been said that, s'The true and honest
husbandman is the noblest work of
God', and if true then our departed
friend was truly entitled to q place on
the roll of honor, for he was really
one of natures noblemen. Those
who knew him best respected most
his honesty and integrity and his
brethren are the best Witnesses of his
Christian worth. Deception had no
place in his soul and Rev. Thos. Cup
Std was fortunate in selecting text
that revealed his life and existence:
81 have finished my course, I have
kept the faith, and I have fought the
good fight" To this blessed benedic-
ton on his life the whole congrega-
ton would have said amen.
For four long years in honor he
wore the gray and justly received
from his fellow soldiers their esteem
and confidence. He belonged TO. tie
18th S. O., Regiments. One Of hisold
comrades and mess mates, Hiram
Hutto, assisted in laying him away.
Mr.. Rister was . man Of strong con-
victions and had the courage at all
times to stand by his convictions. He
was q good citizen, kind husband and
father. He quietly and submissively
met his end. Peace to his ashes.
