. pF»'-r of >t;i.cs caniol. As a
tiie late election we will
■otless hold the balance of power
the Senate of the United States.
We have doubled the number of our
adherents in the House of Represen
tatives, secured control of a number
of State governments, hold the bal
ance of power in a majority of the
States in the Union, and have suc
ceeded in arousing a spirit of politi
cal independence among the people
of the Northwest which cannot be
disregarded in the future. Not be
ing formed on sectional lines, our
party in a single campaign has gained
a large and influential following in
every State in the South. This gives
promise of good government in that
section of the Union, a thing that
the Republican party has failed to do
after thirty years of almost uninter
rupted rule, and gives promise, too,
of correcting wrongs, -which may
exist through the people of the re
spective States, instead of attempt
ii g to do so by influence from with
out.
We have awakened fraternal feel
ings in all sections, and as an earnest
of our good will toward the South,
the grand people of Kansas, a State
containing more Union soldiers than
any other, elected an ex-Confederate
soldier of the People’s party to rep
resent the State at large in Congress.
The country is to be congratulated
upon the fact that the leaders of one
of the heretofore great parties have
been abandoned and overthrown by
the people, and their organization
well nigh annihilated. This leaves
the former adherents of that party
free to align themselves with the
great anti-monopoly and industrial
movement.
The accession of the other party
to power is the result of violent re
action and not, I am sure, of the
deliberate judgment of the American
people. The battle leaders of the
triumphant party are -without any
well-deflned policy, except that of
contemptuous disregard for every
element of reform within the ranks
of their own party, and among the
people at large. The new adminis
tration will ignore the great conten
tions of modern times relating to
land, money and transportation, and
will not attempt to solve either. In
fact, the whole force of the new
regime will be exercised to prevent
r reform in these important matters.
The urgent demand of the people for
the free coinage of silver is to be
disdainfully ignored, and new ob
stacles will, doubtless, be interposed
to further restrict the use of the
white metal. In contempt of the
doctrine of Andrew Jackson, Euro
pean aristocrats are to be permitted
to dictate our financial policy.
One of the most valuable results
of the late war, that of a uniform
legal-tender currency, issued by the
government, is to be sacrificed and
abandoned, and serious attempts will
be made to force the people to return
to the fraudulent system of State
bank issues, which existed prior to
the war, and which periodically
swindled the industrial classes of the
fruits of their toil. This is to be
sprung upon the people by a sudden
stroke of policy by dealers who
carefully kept their motives con
cealed from the public. This crime
is to be enacted into law between
elections and before the people can
have time to pass upon the question
by the selection of representatives
chosen for the purpose. That this
is the deliberate plan is shown by
the clause in the Democratic plat
form which calls for the repeal of
the law imposing a tax upon the cir
culation of State banks. It is con
firmed by the fact that Mr. Coe,
chairman of the executive committee
of the American bankers, associated
together with a large number of
New York bankers, publicly gave in
their support to the Democratic
ticket only a few days before the
election. The situation gives an ad
ditional importance to the great
question which a few have compre
hended for a score of years, namely:
Shall the currency of the country be
a legal-tender issue and its value
controlled by the government, or
shall it be non-legal tender issued
and controlled by banking corpora
tions ? .
The issues pressing for solution are
simply tremendous, and the situation
portentious. Our party has not .made
its advent too soon. Its mission is
to restore to our government, its
original and only legitimate turn tion,
which has been well nigh lost bj non
use, that of assuring to all its citizens
—the weak as well as the mighty—
the unmolested enjoyment of their
inalienable rights. This cannot be
accomplished until the relations be
tween labor and its creature, capital,
are so adjusted as to cause each to
respect the domain of the other.
These important forces are now upon
a war footing, whereas, under hu
mane laws, they would naturally
dwell together in perfect peace. The
repressive policy, now fully ina.igu
rated in this country, will not work
well in the nineteenth century. It is
the fatal blunder of weak leaders,
who fail to comprehend the spirit of
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1892
the age, and the growth of indepen
dence among the people. It denies
to labor the right to organize, relies
upon the military arm to sustain cor
porate pretentions, and when labor
organizations defend themselves
against armed mercenaries, it ad
judges the members to be guilty of
treason.
Let those who rob by law aud op
press their fellows to gratify their
thirst for power beware how they
trifle with an awakened people. The
violent political storm of 1888 and
1892, which first swept the Demo
cratic candidate, then the Republican
party from power in spite of the
weight of patronage which they car
ried, signify a turbulent condition of
the political atmosphere which plainly
foreshadows an approaching crisis.
It were better that it be not hastened
by the enactment of measures w r hich
savor of usurpation and the extension
of class privileges.
I sincerely trust that the work of
organization and education may now
be pushed with energy throughout
all the States. The field is ours and
we must occupy it without delay.
Fraternally yours,
J. B. Weaver.
A Voice From the Tenth.
Now, as the campaign is over and
the brush of battle is ceased, let us
view the past. When we first or
ganized as a new party our enemies
tried to treat the reform movement
as a mere jest, but finding we were
determined and that our ranks were
filling up despite their silence, they
raked up all their speakers, ex-sena
tors, ex-governors and every man
that could cry out “ force bill ” and
“tariff reform” and rushed them
down to the Tenth, thinking they
could crush the People’s party senti
ments, but «to their dismay they
found out we were only gaining
strength, and that to carry this dis
trict for Democracy they must resort
to other means. They forgot any
God above, any hell below, and
mapped out apian to defeat the honest
free will of the people. Our speak
ers were silenced, not allowed to
speak; our presidential candidate
was rotten-egged, his revered ■wife,
an aged lady with silver locks, was
rotten-egged. Never before was
such a shame committed. Our con
gressman was repeatedly howled
down by a city mob that went with
' their candidate for that purpose.
They intended to defeat the gallant
Watson though it cost the fair name
of Georgia, and they have caused a
stain upon her name that will bear
its mark.
Major Black has not been elected
to Congress by . the voters of the
Tenth congressional district of Geor
gia. The Augusta ringsters and the
Sparta tricksters have elected Major
Black to Congress. He will repre
sent the Augusta ring and the negro
boys that made so much money in
Augusta on the day of the election.
He will represent the train-load of
negro boys and men that came out
to Hephezibah and voted once and
twice, but he will not represent the
honest colored voters of Richmond
county. He will represent the Sparta
tricksters, but not the free and honest
voters of Hancock county. Do not
mope over it, Major, when you
realize that you have been elected to
represent the Tenth district by the
Augusta ring and the Sparta bosses,
but that is just the size of it.
Let every earnest reformer push
forward with more strength than
ever; let no one be discouraged by
defeat; remember that no reform
movement ever went to success save
through the grim ordeal of repeated
failure. We are now over seventy
thousand strong in this State. Think
of it! In less than six months we
have marshaled into our ranks over
seventy thousand as firm, as resolute
men as ever faced a struggle. Who
knows but ere another six months
rolls round we’ll have our ranks
doubled. Let us be earnest and pru
dent ; let every man do his duty, for
upon those principles depend our
posterity. We have much to be
proud of in the campaign just ended,
and much to hope for in the future.
Let us be patient, forbearing and
true ; and if we are indeed loyal to
our principles, loyal to our Maker, as
we should be, we will conquer though
hell should oppose us. C. O. P.
Blythe, Ga.
Will the South Come!
Winfield, Kan., Nov. 14, ’92.
Editor People’s Party Paper :
At last the election is over, and so
far as Kansas is concerned, we have
achieved a glorious victory. The
Weaver electors, the entire State
ticket and the Legislature are ours.
Yes, more—we have elected an
ex-rebel soldier for congressman-at
large in Kansas, notwithstanding
there are 120,000 old Union soldiers
in this State. What do you think of
it, you people of the South ? We
have forever buried the bloody
shirt and declared that we know the
war is over, and that there shall be
no solid North.
We have stood by our professions.
Oh, brethren of the South, why
could you not trust us ? Why could
you not help us bury the bloody
shirt? It pains us to see that the
South decides to remain solid, for
with your help, what could we
not do?
Look at the Northwest! No
bloody-shirt could move us from our
devotion to principle; no force bill
scare swerve us from our firm set
purposes; and even though we
realized long before election day that
the South would not go with us, yet
we were determined to stand -by our
guns, hoping that in the near future
the] South would realize the true
situation and join us later.
We have broken the solid North.
Will you do the same in South ?
Will the South give up her idols,
or will she stand by her traditions
instead of her better judgment ?
This is the question that is agitating
our people just now, for if it does not
come to our rescue we cannot, suc
ceed.
Have we not been tried sufficiently
to satisfy you that we are in earnest
when we say that we have buried the
bloody-shirt ?
Look at our record. With over
100,000 old soldiers in this State, yet
we have elected Col. W. A. Harris,
an old Confederate soldier, as con
gressman-at-large by a good ma
jority, he having run ahead of his
ticket.
There should be no political di
vision between the West and South.
Their interests are one; their ene
mies are identical.
If we would become prosperous,
we must unite to shake off the dom
ination of Wall street, and institute
government for the people, instead.
What we need is education. Kansas
has been thoroughly educated, and
to this alone we owe our success.
The “force bill scare ” and “bloody
shirt” methods of politics have no
terrors for us, and it is time the South
shake off its superstitions.
We all up here deeply deplore the
defeat of brave Tom Watson, the
Simpson of the South, for he had a
warm place in the Kansas heart, but
we elected Jerry Simpson after one
of the most desperate contests ever
waged against any man in this State.
Colonizing voters, bribery, fraud and
slander were resorted to without
avail—the Republican candidate had
to go down.
Now, we say to the South, we are
not organized for the sole purpose of
defeating the Republican party, but
for the carrying out of the principles
of our party, and we aim to stand by
our guns regardless of who follows
or who deserts us. Will the South
-come with us? We shall see, but
don’t want to wait too long.
J. H. Ritchie.
Senator Gorman Makes a Speech.
M. G. Ellzey, in National Watchman.
Senator Gorman came direct from
the national Democratic committee
rooms to make a speech at his Mary
land home. He said a few notable
things, aud pretty nearly demolished
the Chicago platform. Concerning’
the State bank plank, he said that it
was one of those things, which, in
the confusion of a national conven
tion, may sometimes “slip in,” and
are not binding on the masses of the
party. In the meantime, Mr. Cleve
land, in his letter, had given it a
quasi and evasive endorsement, and
Chairman Gordon, of Virginia, had
put it forward in his address as
“something better” than sub-treasury
or the free coinage of silver. This
last was, and is undoubtedly, the
true inwardness of the thing. It did
not “slip in,” but was deliberately
put in for tne base purpose of de
ceiving those voters who demand the
sub-treasury plan and the free coin
age of silver; nor can it now “slip
out” in the easy way suggested by
the Senator from Maryland, neither
can the party “slip away” from its
record so slick and easy as he thinks.
The red dog, rotten egg element is a
living force in the Cleveland party.
Concerning the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland, Mr. Gorman says he first
thought he could not be elected if
nominated, but he now thinks he was
the very man to put up. If Mr.
Gorman has reached the conclusion
that whoever was put up by the
Democracy would have been
knocked down, doubtless he is per
fectly sincere in saying Mr. Cleve
land* was the best man to put up.
Concerning the “tariff reform”
plank, Mr. Gorman says “tariff re
form,” after Cleveland, is nothing
any manufacturer or business man
need be afraid of. Certainly then it
is nothing from which the people
can hope or expect any great things
in the way of relief. But Senator
Gorman goes further and says em
phatically that no immediate relief
can follow Cleveland’s election, but
when the Democrats are put in full
control thejr will pare down salaries
and abolish useless offices and gradu
ally reduce taxation. The Senator
also fiercely denounces the sugar
bounty, but does not remotely sug
gest a restoration of duty on sugar.
This means a dreary expanse of
years to come, during which the
sugar and cotton planters, the wheat
growers, and the producer of
butcher’s meat must keep on to feed
the hungry millions of the -world at
a price for their products below the
cost of production. And what, we
ask, does this mean ? It means ruin
and devastation of every rural in
dustry and of ezery country home.
Beyond that looms black as eternal
night anarchy and civil tumult, fire
and sword, and wide, wasting de
struction of life and property, ending
in military dictatorship and the stolid
apathy of calm despair. Let those
who would scoff at this picture re
flect,that two months are not passed
since this country saw five armies in
the field in five different States, any
one of which could have swept the
army that Washington led off the
continent at a single stroke.
A notable speech was that of
Senator Gorman.
It is “phunny, ain’t it?” Two
years ago the Democrats almost
“corked” themselves in their efforts
to force the silver question into the
campaign against the Republicans.
This year the Republican Senate
held it under their nose and they are
now breaking their necks trying to
dodge it. Yes, it’s “phunny,” but
take your medicine-People’s Rights.
THE PAPERS.
The Jefferson, Texas, Jimplecute,
says:
Now, brethren of the quill, there
is no excuse for not reinstating truth
as the keystone of the editorial arch.
It may be difficult for some of you,
after the last three months, but it
ought to be done. * * * *
The only thing that causes us to
doubt that there is “ a God in Israel ”
is the defeat of Tom Watson for
Congress m Georgia. He is the
grandest and noblest man in the na
tion to-day, but money •was stronger
than right.
The People’s Rights, of Monte
zuma, Ga., tells its readers that—
We call upon every People’s party
man to stand firm in defense of the
great political advantage we have
gained, and to press forward to the
victory that is now in sight. The
next battle is for the control of the
Congress to be elected in 1894. Let
us now stand together North,
South, East and West —for our
families and firesides, and agaist mo
nopoly and plutocracy. We must
win. We shall win. i Let none falter
or turn aside, but let us all keep
straight ahead in the middle of the
road. Never mind the toil and ex
pense it involves upon us. Our
children will receive the heritage of
an equal chance in the race of life.
The Minden (Nebraska) Workman
sizes it up :
While there are some things about
the election that afford satisfaction,
on the whole we see little cause for
rejoicing. On finance and the tariff,
the only issues that affect the people,
the old parties hold practically to the
same views. By a juggling of words
a divergence is manifested, but will
never be demonstrated in the halls
of Congress. The only radical change
will be a change of officers. 'The
people have changed horses but cap
italists, corporations and rich manu
facturers hold the reins of govern
ment as firmly as ever, and it is ex
tremely doubtful if the hated and
much despised McKinley bill will be
disfigured to any great extent.
The Chillicothe (Mo.) World says :
Now the Democratic party has full
power and will give its remedy for
the ills the people are suffering. If
ever a people needed relief, the
masses of the people of this country
need it. One-half of the wealth of
the nation in the hands of thirty-one
thousand people. For every two
thousand people there is one who
owns as much as the two thousand.
In this new country, where the hus
bandman tills the rich virgin soil, the
great farming community is poverty
stricken. When every industrious,
frugal man should be enjoying the
blessing of prosperity, the major
part of the people cannot get the
comforts of life, It will take a he
roic remedy relieve the fast : dying
republic.
The New Nation, of Boston, finds
the same difficulty experienced by
papers in other States :
As to Massachusetts, we have been
unable to collect the returns. That
our vote is about 5,000 is very evi
dent. Tne Associated Press still re
fuses to print our returns even though
the figures are furnished them by
Populists. This decision to sit down
hard on the new party we happen to
know was made nearly two months
ago, and their representative for New
England, when confronted by a mem
ber of the Populist committee, made
the statement point blank that the
People’s party need not expect to
receive any favors from the telegraph
people so long as it favors the gov
ernment ownership of the telegraph.
That is to say, a newspaper monopo
ly has been built up on a telegraph
monopoly, and the newspapers pro
pose to fight any party that assaults
either. It is very humiliating for a
paper like The New Nation to con
fess that it cannot give the result of
an election after so many days have
passed.
The Wool Hat, of Greenwood,
Richmond county, Ga., notes:
The most significant feature of the
grand Democratic jollification in Au
gusta was the public currying of Mr.
Wright as the successor of Major
Black in Congress. Is it not Demo
cratic usage to re-elect an officer as
an endorsement of his official acts?
Then why thus publicly condemn the
poor major before he has had a chance
to make a record? The major has
served the purpose for which the ring
nominated him, and already they are
scheming to get rid of him. No doubt
they think now, since they had to re
sort to open fraud to count him in,
that a candidate more to their liking
could have been counted in just as
easily by the same methods, and feel
like kicking themselves for not think
ing of it sooner. But the major will
not be our congressman, and this
premature nomination of Mr. Wright
perhaps was only intended as a grim
joke, or as soothing balm to heal the
soreness resulting from the action of
those bad boys in Atlanta. Poor
Major Black!
The Plow and Hammer, of Tiffin,
Ohio, says :
The responsibility of legislation
and administration will be with the
Democrats. No more can they come
with the old time plea: “Give us a
chance before you condemn.” If
Democracy means the same thing
East, West, North and South, there
will be no power to prevent it from
carrying out its cherished purpose of
restoring general prosperity. It has
condemned, in general terms, the con-
centration of wealth, and expressed
great sympathy for the depressed
and distressed industries of the
country, and charged the Republi
cans with being responsible for it.
It will now have the opportunity
to prove its statesmanship and wis
dom in reversing the engine that is
rapidly driving the ship of State
upon destructive shoals and rocks.
One thing that occurred eight years
ago need not be repeated now.
Then Cleveland, with Hendricks,
was elected on a silver coinage plat
form, which he repudiated before
inauguration day. This time he
was bigger than his party —dictated
the platform and reserves the right
to place his own interpretation upon
it. Now has come the opportunity
of the party to prove its friendship
for “more money and less misery.”
The Banks County Gazette, of Ho
mer, Ga., says:
Though we have been defeated we
must not give up the fight. We are
asking nothing but justice, and honest
people would not grant less. The
People’s party must stand unflinch
ing, remembering that the father of
our country met with defeat after
defeat, yet he wavered not in his
purpose to rid his people of the dam
ning hand of oppression. Washing
ton fought for the freedom of ou r
country with arms; we must pre
serve our liberty with our ballots.
We must not be discouraged but
buckle on our armor for the next
contest, and though we go down in a
thousand defeats we have the conso
lation of knowing that we go through
with clean hands. If our opponents
could say as much we could expect
honest government. Be not dis
couraged ; our fight is just, and we
cannot afford to go back to the ene
mies of God.
The Farmer’s Light, of Harlem,
Ga., is strong in the faith. It says :
There is one fact that cannot be
rubbed out, and that is, Democracy
is dead in Columbia county, and no
man need offer for any office unless
he stands squarely with the people.
* * * The Augusta ring may
think they have things their own way,
but they will wake up to find that
they are wrong. The methods in
augurated by the city ringsters will
certainly be exposed. * *
The heat of the recent State and
national elections has passed, and
now comes the election of county
officers. It becomes the plain duty
of every People’s party man to stand
together in this election as they did
in those passed. Don’t be influenced
by any of our enemies, telling you
that it is not necessary for you to
vote in the county election as you
have nothing at stake. It is very
essential you vote at all elec
tions, for failing to do this, will give
your enemies a loop-hole to come in
and defeat us. Let the People’s
party of Columbia county still con
tinue to make this the banner county
of Georgia by voting for the People’s
party candidates from constable up.
The Southern Mercury, of Dallas,
Texas, says:
The dispatches foreshadow Cleve
land’s election by a very decided
majority, also that the House and
Senate will be largely Democratic.
To a casual observer this looks like
a permanent victory for the Demo
cratic party, when in fact it is the
very worst thing that could have
happened to them. No one denies
that the Democracy is Janus-faced,
and such being the case, it will be
impossible for that party to give the
people any substantial reforms, if
they adhere to their record and plat
form. They have been very prolific
in their promises heretofore; especi
ally have Democratic orators prom
ised financial reform. The people
believed these promises would be
redeemed. They are doomed to dis
mal disappointment in this direction ;
failing to do this the rank and file
desert and come direct to the Peo
ple’s party as the only hope to secure
reforms. The Republican party will
disintegrate, because it was made up
of reformers, and some of the old
reform blood yet flows in the veins
of their adherents. Finding them
selves defeated on the lines they
chose, with no hopes of success pos
sible in the future, they will be
compelled to cast their eyes else
where. They will see all the tenable
ground covered by the People’s
party, and rather than disappear for
the want of an issue they will disband
their organization and come to the
People’s party. The rich Republi
cans in the South and West, whose
interests are m line with Cleveland’s
financial policy, will, of course, go to
Cleveland, together with the pluto
crats of the Northeast; while the
common people of these sections will
join the People’s party, and by the
opening of the campaign of 1896
the world will behold the spectacle
of the great common people arrayed
in one party, demanding more money
and less taxes, and the consolidated
plutocracy arrayed in the other, de
manding the perpetuation of the
rule of the dollar. ' Then the great
battle of Armageddon will begin m
dead earnest, and will be fought to
finish in the valley of the Mississippi.
“ Coming events cast their shadows
before.”
Pointers, of Greenfield, Mo., says*
The overwhelming defeat of the
Republicans will usher in a new era
in the politics of this country. The
downfall of the Republican party
will be the up-building of another.
There will be two great political
parties in this country, each strug
gling for supremacy. The history
of ail governments at all times shows
plainly that two great parties con-
front each other at all times and *♦.
all places; we don’t presume tha*
the present will be an exception,
When one or the other of the parties
goes down a new party springs into
existence to take its place, possessing
more vitality, energy and able to
cope with the powers that exist. In
the re-organization of the great
political parties for the campaign of
1896, we believe that the Democratic
party will be confronted by an an
tagonist fully able to contest every
part of the battle-field. Such is the
history of politics.
The Vanguard, of Chicago, says
of the mission and opportunity of
the People’s party:
We are approaching one of those
convulsive seasons of universal politi
cal breaking up. Old things are
destined to pass away, and a newly
awakened people will ask for new
and loftier political initiatives.
At this time the People’s party
has its supreme opportunity. It has,
with much labor and patience, con
structed the needed mechanism of a
national organization. Its high mis
sion during the coming four years
would seem to be one of education
and wise propagandism. It is a
plain proposition that the People’s
party can only become a conquering
one by swelling its ranks with re
cruits from the two old parties.
These can only be gained by temper
ate argument, by charity, by reason
able concession and by wise com
promise.
The fundamental declaration of
the People’s party is that the govern
ment of this republic is in danger of
passing out of the hands of the
masses into the hands of the classes.
It would save the country from that
calamity and it can do so only in
one way, and that is by making its
foundation principle so true and
broad that every good patriot can
say “Amen” to it.
It can do this by inviting to its
ranks 1 all those who are opposed to a
government of the few, by the few
and for the few and wish to have
this republic ruled tor the benefit of
the whole.
It is the natural and quite amiable
weakness of ardent reformers to wish
to see their specifics for relief em
bodied in a party platform. These
enthusiastic gentlemen ignore the fact
that a party must get into power be
fore it can give the people any legis
lative relief.
We trust that the wise leaders of
the People’s party will see the bad
policy of making would-be recruits
accept a long string of uncertain leg
islative remedies before they can be
admitted to membership.
The People’s party should now
strive to increase and consolidate its
forces on the grand old lines of Jeff
ersonian government. If a recruit
after assenting to that proposition
agrees to throw overboard his alle
giance to the Democratic or Repub
lican machine parties it should be all
sufficient, for the discussion of radi
cal measures of legislative relief can
be safely left until such time as the
People’s party has the power to
make its will the law of the land.
The People’s party comes out of
the battle smoke of the campaign
white in honor and lustrous with well
earned glory.
It could not be defeated, for it
expected no victery at this time. It
fought for the love of fighting in the
cause of liberty, justice and human
progress.
The People’s party principles, can
didates and advocates were maligned
without measure, but they never re
torted in kind because the champions
of truth and righteousness have no
use for the weapons of falsehood and
evil.
The People’s party of America is
the party of our country’s sublimer
future. It is the chosen custodian of
a high constructive mission, which
shall bring blessing to universal hu
manity.
It turns its back on the feudal past
with its special privileges for classes,
and marches valorously toward the
benignant years of the long foretold
“New Dispensation,” wherein the
world’s lowly masses shall enjoy that
peace, prosperity and happiness which
cruel and crafty power has for so
many ages denied them. L. C. H.
