LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

and towns, yet, with all this, our
country is rapidly filling up, and some
body has got to remain in the coun-
try, and some of those in the towns
and cities must ultimately return to
the country.
When we are filled up with the
white people, and it will not be long,
where will the negro go?
Knowing you to be a close student
of political economy, as we'll as
student of human affairs, tempted
me to ask you to write upon this line,
THE ultimate chance of the negro,
or his future destiny in America. "
The young negro of today does not
compare with the negro of thirty
years ago, neither does the young
white man have the same sympathy
for the negro that men of your and
my age have This being true, it
seems to be but short time before
the negro will no longer be tolerated

sacrifice for the cause? Now my
proposition is this, let's begin right
now to raise a campaign fund let
ten thousand Populists agree to pay
three dollars year, or rs cents
month"; from now till the next cleo
ton is over, this fund to be man
aged by the National and State COM
mittees of the Peoples party.
Now, I am just little one-horse
farmer and not able to do much, but
will go into this agreement now;
who will join me?
Boys, if you think this a good
proposition just sit right down and
write the Jeffersonian a postal say
ing you will be one of the ten thou

we can do some good, if not don't
know whether we will do much good
or not

1 THOUGHTFUL LETTER ON A
GREAT PROBLEM.

My Dear Mr. Watson:-Your card
of the 18th inst. lies before me. In
reply, would say that at the time [
wrote you the firemen on the Geor-
gia Railroad were out on strike
and board of arbitration was try
ing to adjust the differences between
the road and it's firemen. Of course,
the negro" was the primary cause
of the strike. The point I wanted
you to discuss was this: Suppose the
arbitrator had found the negro
ineligible, as it Were,) to be fire
men, would not that have been suffi-
cient to have removed the negro
from all positions where he should
come in contact with white labor?
Take this as an illustration: Farm la
Dor is made easy by machinery, also
the price of farm labor has gone up
sufficiently high as to make it as
profitable to work on the farm as to
fire an engine or be an engineer, and
the chances for promotion is the same
on the farm as on the railroad
where would the negro land? In
fact, what is to be the ultimate dis
position of the negro here in the
United States, where he is always in
competition with white labor? He
is dead politically, regardless Of dis
reimbursement, yet is he not more
dangerous from an economical point
of view? 1t is national and not a
local question, this race question is,
and as citizens they have all the
rights of the whites, yet we all know
the day will never come in any art of
this country where the negro will be
allowed to work over the white man.
Our cities are congested by our
whites going from the country, the
negro also follows him to the cities

you take this subject up in, if at all.
You will please pardon the length
of this, | got to going and couldn't
stop; however, I know your time is
too valuable to take up so much of
my opinions.
With best wishes, I am,

A LETTER THAT RINGS TRUE.

Well, I have never written any
thing for a paper in my life, but as
the boys are giving their ideas about
what we, the Peoples party, ought
to do I just want to say few
words.
The proposition to organize, or to
hold conference and all come to-
gether and agree on a platform is
all right, provided you make the
right kind of platform, but sacri-
flee no principle for the sake of unit
ing, for it does seem to me that our
platform is good enough for any
one that really wants reform.
But, now, to reach the people and
get them Interested in our cause,
how are we going to do this? 1t
won't do to hold a convention or a
conference and pass a few resolu-
lions and then go home and sit
down and do nothing else, but we
need an abundance of good reform
literature distributed among the
people, and then we need some good
speakers that have the cause at
heart to go out and preach it to
them and get them aroused on the
subject, but they can't do this for
nothing; they must be paid some
thing for their time and expenses.
Now are we willing to make any

problem differently to what it has
been heretofore. | am aware that the
newspapers and magazines of today
are full of the race problem but
it is all a dream. The education of
the negro is bound to come; we had
as we'll look it in the face. Educa-
ton will be his ruin, but the white
people are determined that he shall
have it. Industrial education will
only place him more fully in compe-
titiOn with white labor. Yet the cry
is to give it to him, and he is taking
it,
To my mind, I consider this prob
lem (the negro) above all others to
us today. I can't hardly conceive
how the races can remain as they are
for another generation. I will say
here that l am no fanatic upon this
question, I don't hate the negro, if
IL w cl0 III LILY pOWSl L WOulu give u1m
equal justice in the courts if no
where else; yet we all know that the
negro stands no chance in court to-
day.
l hope have made myself clear in
rambling way. I am no writer,
just an ordinary village physician. I
was raised in Jefferson County, and
from my childhood I have been &C
customed to negroes, hence this is
not a nightmare with me.
l would be glad to see some one
of your ability treat this subject. I
am aware that whoever does it will
have to be radical, yet we have the
condition that demands it. This ques-
ton is bound to come to the front,
and to meet it the people had as we'll
begin to prepare. If you decide to
take it up will you kindly advise me
which of your publications you will

AN UNSUPPOSABLE CASE.

Dear Sir:-Some weeks ago you
had an editorial in one of your pub
LEGATIONS sympathizing with the fire
men who had struck" upon the
Georgia Railroad. So far as your
sympathies go they coincide with
mine, however, there is more con-
nected with the issue than mere SYM
pathy.
Knowing you to be student of
political economy, as we'll as the gen
eral welfare of mankind, | have de-
cided to ask your views upon certain
issues that have and will continue
to grow out of this strike in question
as long as we have the negroes
among us.
The point 1 would like to hear from
you upon is this: Suppose that plow-
ing the soil, picking cotton, splitting
rails, in fact any labor that we call
common, should demand the same
wages and the hope of promotion
that the fireman of a locomotive
does, do you think that negroes would
have to work under the same disad-
vantages as he now does upon the
Georgia Railroad? If so, what are
we to do with the negro? It is an
evident fact that we have him to
feed, clothe and educate. In fact,
we are, as you might say, his guar
dams, and the time has about ar
rived that our wards have reached
their majority and a settlement is
on hand between our wards and our
selves. In the name of all that is
righteous, what can we do?
I am sure that there are a vast
number of your readers who would
like to hear you upon this question.
To our mind, it is the one question
that confronts our republic today.
The statesman that can carry us
through this crisis will evidently be
entitled to a niche in the Hall of
Fame.
Yours truly,

AN APPRECIATION OF THADEJ1S.
PICKETT.
PICKETT.

L.
Editor JeffersOnian:-Th Rev.
Thadeus Pickett is dead. He was
one divine who was the peoples
friend. He was not demagogue in
politics nor in religion. To Love
thy neighbor as myself, and to do
unto others as you would have them
do unto you," was the cardinal and
dominating motive of his life. When
weary in the arduous marts of life,
when dependency seemed to almost
overtake him and the battle for the
right almost ready to meet it's Water
loo, the cheerful spirit of Thad.
Pickett, with his optimistic nature,
would tell him just beyond the little
eminence was the dawn of new vic
tory over some old dogma that had
oppressed humanity. We shall miss
his intrepid spirit of the pulpit, this
noble commoner, this regal friend of
the masses.
Let those who watched his career,
those who believed in the phiIosophi-
cal truths he enunciated; those in
sympathy with great creed of hu-
mainly, commemorate his royal
memory by carrying forward the no.
BILE work that he was so intensely en-
listed in.
1t is fortunate for the masses in
deed, in Church as we'll as in State,
that along the tiresome highway we
all tread, is ever now and then posted
an inspiring mile-post like Thad.
Pickett. To the cause he espoused,
he was a pillar of fire by night and a
cloud by day. He never paused in
the battle of progress to ask whether
or not this or that was popular. The
only incentive that inspired him no
bly, on to grand discharge Of duty
was, if it is right, I owe it to hui
manity. This generation has pro-
duced but few men who loved the
people like Thad. Pickett loved them,
who is as true to them as he was
Our friend is dead. Every great
truth has lost one of it's best friends,
but the spirit of the illustrious de-
parted will impel us on, and now
more than ever we consecrate and
concentrate our purposes more closely
to the noble work, where he left off,
than ever before Sacred he his nure
and honorable memory. Confident
are we of his everlasting reward in
the realms Of infinite bliss, and to
his weeping wife, noble sons and
daughter, we extend in this hour of
their bereavement our profound con-
dolence.

SAVED FROM DEATH BY
OXYGEN.

Oxygen has been used to increase
the endurance Of athletes and even
horses forced to inhale the gas have
performed unusual labors without ia
tigue. For several years doctors have
resorted to the gas in extreme cases
with encouraging results. Within the
last few DAYS one of four young men
overcome by the fumes of gasoline and
nearly asphyXiated, has been saved by
pumping 100 gallons Of concentrated
oxygen Into his unconscious body. The
young man inhaled the pure oxygen
into his lungs. just as he did the poi
sonouS gas that almost ended his life
The oxygen, uniting with the blood,
displaced the gas and restored the man
10 normal condition AT the same
time twenty ounces of blood were
drained from his arms TO let the poi
son escape. The man regained con-
seriousness after the doctors had work
ed on him four days and he is now
we'll on the road 10 recovery.
This is distinctly a triumph of lat.
ter-day methods Of treating a patient
overcome by poisonous gases and
proves the great benefit in such cases
