refused to turn it loose, refused to allow, de-
positors to draw their own money out Of bank,
destroyed Public Confidence, and the business
world went to smash because there was no
money to transact business with.
The Panic and the Money Question are as
closely related as were the Siamese Twins, vet
Bryan and Taft SHE'D off from the one vital
issue upon which the whole country could have
been interested
The panic is on us yet. It has been on us
ever since last October 1t will be felt for at
least another year. Money is tight, collections
are bad, business lanouishes, and the common
people are in distress. The Trusts alone are
prosperng,-and among the Trusts we include
the Railroads and the national banks.
The law gives to these favored ones the pow
er to fatten upon the unprivileged millions, and
they are not losing any flesh. The Steel Trust,
the Standard OIL the Sugar Trust the Beef
Trust and the Tobacco Trust are all raking in
enormous profits in spite of the panic; but the
common people are suffering, and this winter
is going to be hard one for the poor

nanced by two Republican capitalists, each of
whom is the president of railroad corpora
ton
The Republican ownership of the Chronicle
would not be peculiarly interesting were it not
for the fact that the paper is a journalistic ex-
ponent, defender and propaganda of pure, I'M
dehled, unterrifed and rock-ribbed Democracy
We have long been of the opinion that those
Democrats who take their Democracy from
paper owned and controlled by two Repub1i
cans, one of whom is Northerner and neither
of whom is native Georgian, afford a most
edifying example of the manner in which Our
people can be duped by their newspapers.
These two Republicans have been SO bitter
and INSCRIPTIONS in their warfare on Mr.. Wat
son. that he long since quit reading their paper.
Only when somebody sends clipping, do we
know what these wealthy corporation Repub-
licans are saying in their Democratic Chroni-
Gle.
Mr. Perryman wrote, from Lincolnton, Ca,
inquiring of the Chronicle whether it were
true that the Georgia delegation was insulted
at the Denver Convention. He also asked
whether it were true that delegate who pro-
posed resolution eu1ogzing Gen. Robt E.
Lee, was Kissed and hooted down.
The reply which the Chronicle made to Mr..
Perryman is a remarkable specimen of side
stepping
The Jeffersonian will answer Mr.. Perry
mans questions; we hope the facts will be
kept fresh in the minds of the people.
The Georgia delegation was insulted. Be-
cause it refused to make Bryan's nomination
unanimous and because it did not take part
in the idiotic performance of yelling one hour
and forty-eight minutes for Bryan, the Geor-
gia delegation aroused the wrath Of the West
ern delegates. These delirious Bryanites boot
ed the Georgans, jeered at them, tried to take
their Hacr a1Uav from them and were Or11v Dre-
vented from doing so by delegate West, of
Lowndes County, who drew his knife, and
threatened to use on the first man that touched
the banner. All this while, the Haskell brass

We have talked with several of the Georgia
delegates who were present and in the midst
of this scene, and they expressed the hottest

were treated
AS to the General Lee. episode, the facts are
equally clear
BRYAN born and reared in Illinois, sent to
his Denver Convention a Resolution praising
Abraham Lincoln Since Mr.. Lincoln was a
Republican, it was something unusual for a
Democratic Convention to go out of it's way to
pass a resolution of that sort.
Still, Bryan thought it would win him votes,
and the Convention voted the Resolution
through with a whoop. That's all right we
would have supported the Resolution had we
been there,-hoWever much we might have de-
plored it's introduction into that convention.
For we would have guessed that some
Southern delegate would want to offset the
Lincoln Resolution by one in favor of Jeffer-
son Davis
And we wouldn't have been far wrong in the
ouess for it haDDened that after the Demo-

Is the Panic ODER >?

Neither Bryan Taft would touch the
money question during the recent fight over the
spoils of office.
ONLY the briefest mention did either of these
candidates make of the Panic.
Yet it was the panic which, with the terrible
stamp of its foot, called into existence the
Army of the Unemployed. 1t was the panic
which crowded the side-tracks with empty,
idle cars. It was the panic which closed the
mills, brought down the price Of cotton and
lost to the farmer hundreds of millions of dol
lars.
And what caused the havoc-naking Panic?
The congestion of money in New York City.
And how did this congestion come about?
Congress took from the Government the SOW
ereign power of creating all the monev, surren-
dered to the National banks part of this SOW
eregn power and enacted other laws which
made New York the greatest of the cash re-
serve cities.

enormous profits in spite of the panic; but the
common people are suffering, and this winter
is going to be hard one for the poor.
Where is the Southern Cotton Association.
How dearly the American people love to be
humbugged!
An ex-hotel clerk, of the name of Harvie
Jordan, pretends to be the President of an agri-
cultural organization, and the newspapers of
the land, taking Harvie's word for it, really
seem to believe that the Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION is an actual tangible living thing.
AS matter of fact, there was such an or
gan1Zat1On few years ago. Farmers Joined it
by the thousand But the manufacturers
bankers, guano lobbyists, railroad agents, and
bucket-shop gamblers joined it also,-unti1 the
motley concern looked like strange gathering
of black bass and white suckers.
Every time Harvie called a rousing conven-
ton and brought the Spinner and the Grower
into closer relations, his success was Brilliant
for, after the meeting, the black bass swan off
with bellyful of white sucker.
In due course, Harvie himself turned out to
be fish of the black bass variety and he and
Joe Hadley-a whopping big black bass
lunched together most amicably off the limo
cent suckers.
So it came to pass that the farmers dropped
out of Harvie's Southern Cotton Association,
and nothing was left in the pond but black
bass,-"trout," as we untutOred GeOrgians are
accustomed to calling them. 1t may be that
a handful Of manufacturers, guano lobbyists
national bankers, and cotton spectators would
respond to the call, were Harvie to attempt to
have a convention of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION.
But excepting the faithful Walter Clark of
Mississippi, not single farmer is now an &C
tive members of Harve's stranded organza-
tion,-so far as we can learn.
In Georgia, Harvie could not drum up
dozen farmers in any county to follow his lead
In Georgia, the Southern Cotton Association
is dismal recollection. And so it is in every
other state so far as we can learn.
Of course if Harvie Jordan and the faithful
The Southern Cotton Association, we have no
kick to make. There's no law "agn it," SO
far as we know
But because we have genuine respect for
Walter Clark, we beg him to carefully reflect
upon two facts:
First; Harvie Jordan's paper The Cotton
Journal, in the Spring of this year, published
the very sort of reports about the condition Of
the crops that were calculated to help the Wall
Street "bears." The Cotton Journals reports
were logically followed by low prices.
Second; Harvie Jordan was the champion
of the cotton grower who wanted better
price for his cotton, yet during the progress Of
this struggle for higher prices, Harvie Jordan
was, on the most intimate terms, the associate

Wr. J. w. Forrest and His Gail For a
21sefinQ of Radicals.

Durlng the closing days OF the Presidential
campaign, Mr.. Jay w. Forrest, chairman of
the Populist Campaign Committee, called
meeting at Cooper Union in New York and
advised his hearers to vote for Debs, the So
cialist candidate.
Upon paper bearing the letter-head of the
peoples Party National Campaign Commit
tee" Mr.. Forrest is now sending out letters
asking for signers to call for meeting of
the Radicals at St. Louis on December 3rd
1908
AS private citizen Mr. Forrest has per-
feet right to "call" just as many meetings as
he likes, but as a member of our Committee
he has no authority to do anything of the kind
James H. Ferriss is chairman of the Populist
National Committee, and if any single mem
Der of the committee has the right to officially
call a conference, it is Ferriss
1t would serve no good purpose to explain
how Mr.. Forrest came to be made Campaign
Manager, nor to speak of his conduct during
the campaign, but we feel it to be duty that
we owe our Comrades to advise them to
IGNORE MR.. FORREST AND HIS PRO-
POSED INJECTING OF THE RADICALS"
In due time, those Populists and Tefferso-
Man Democrats who mean business will reach
an agreement as to the time and place for
meeting
We Southern people can take care of the re-
form movement in the South The West has
good men who can lead in the work out there
If Mr.. Forrest can do anything, anywhere, it
is in his own State of New York Yet he put
out no electoral ticket in his own State nor in
any other Eastern or Northern State.
Why should Popuist Committeeman, who
has no following at home and who advises his
own people to vote the Socialist ticket claim
the leadership of "the Radcals?'
It is absurd. So @s
