The Agreement Pl«n for Se
curing That Number.
Now Is the Time to Ptiali the
Scheme In Mississippi.
What is known as the Million Voters
Agreement for securing 1,000,000
voters pledged to vote the Prohibi
toin party ticket in the presidential
election of 1892, is already familiar to
maiiv readers of the Lkaixcr. It was
originated by the Voice last fall, and
has growu in favor with Prohibition
ists throughout the conntry from the
day of its publication. The plan has
met with the hearty endorsement of
Chairman Dickey and every member
of the National Prohibition Party Ex
ecutive Committee. The committee
now has active supervision of the
work and is pushing the agreement in
nil of the States.
Agreement blanks are furnished
free, and the names, as they are sent
in, are counted and audited under the
supervision of two members of the
Prohibition party, and a well known
member each of the Democratic, Peo
ple's and Republican parties, to insure
perfect fairness.
The following is
THE AGREEMENT.
We, the undersigned, being profoundly im
pressed with the aggressive power of the li
quor traffic and the overwhelming erils, po
iitical, industrial and moral, growing out of
it, believe that a strong influence would be ex
erted hjmh public sentiment and a long step
taken toward the eradication of those erils if
the enemies of the liquor traffic would present
as united a front as the liquor dealers present
when their business is attacked. We there
fore agree to rote, at the Presidential election
iu 1(392, for the candidates of the Prohibi
tion Party for President and Vice-President,
prorided the signatures of one million voters
be secured to this agreement.
A great mauy persons who endorse
the objects and aims of the Prohibi
tion party, hesitate to vote for its can
didates because they regard it as a
vote thrown away. Here is the op
portunity to enter into an agreement
with 1,000,000 other voters in advance
of the election, to vote for candidates
representing Prohibition principles.
If the million signers are not seenred,
no one is. bound by the agreement.
With that many pledged votes, it
would give an impetus to this move
ment which would insure it the bal
ance of power iu this year's contest
and give it control of the government
in 185)0.
Agreement blanks can be bad free
on application to the Leader, the
Voice, of New York, or the National
Prohibition Executive Committee, and
when signed, they can be returned to
either, and the names will be correct
ly recorded by the committee having
that duty iu charge.
So far, very little effort has Wen
made in Mississippi. Let Prohibi
tionists and members of the W. C. T.
U. take the matter in hand in their
respective communities and Wgin
pushing it at once.

The New Orleans New Delta, which
has grown to be a great morning daily
equal to its older rivals, will celebrate
its secoud anniversary today by pub
lishing a fall and complete review of
the anti-Lottery campaign. The
Delta has done so much for the moral
and political redemption of Louisiana,
n Exposition man
agers have carped at the Action of our
State Legislature iu not appropriating
of the State foods a donation in order
to place Mississippi properly befora
the world. There is another side'of
that question which I will try in a
feeble way to present. Do not the
people know that had the Legislature
done that, that those who wonld have
had the burden to bear wonld have
reaped no benefit from it whatever ?
That thousands, owing to the low
price of cotton, had to staud off other i
creditors in order to paygtheir taxes,
and other thousands were bereft of
home aud all its little minnthr by the
foreclosure of mortgages f Would it
not oppear hollow •hearted to give
liberally to aid the vanities of Chica
goans and leave the poor old Confed
erate veterans who gave their all to
Mississippi in the late war, who laid
their lives on the altar of their coun
try, a paltry $50 per capita? What
good purpose could have been accom
plished I We are ground down with
burdensome taxation until onr lands
tiiat ten years ago were worth $10 per
acre, can now be bought for $2.50 and
less. Onr young men are driven away
to other and more promising States
or are going about from pillar to post
hnntiug for something that will keep
bady and soul together. Onr people
are living harder thau ever before
with no prospect of relief.
It is true the cities are building up
and on a boom, but it is at the ex
pense of the country. And sooner or
later there will he a crash of ruin and
desolation that will be piteous to lie
hold, unless a change is made. Yon.
tell us that the fault is with ns. It
may be. You say we raise too much
cotton and not enough meat and
bread. Alas! we know it. but it is
too late. Onr homes are mortgaged
and meat and bread will not pay the
mortgages. The merchants will not
advance to the negro unless lie plant
cotton. The commission merchant
will not advance to the retailer with
out a pledge of cotton.
Our hind-sights arc* better than our
foresights and when those with whom
we have spent onr little savings begin
to hecter ns after onr money is gone,
where shall we turn for sympathy I
Our U. S. Senator makes 1500 hales of
cotton and tells us who make 4 or 5
that we make too much. Can we have
any faith in anything else he tells us T ■
When onr big Ikes make their tlions-1
and and then cry overproduction at j
ns, what can we say ? This thing, if
persevered in,will briug about a reign
of terror for somebody.
We know that the great money
syndicates have their armed legions
ready to pounce down upon ua with
their bloody Winchesters if we show
onr teeth. We know they keep their j
Pinkerton spies in every corner of the j
Union and are ready with their Gat-1
liug guns to sweep ns from the earth
if we offer tangible resistance; and I
we know that the mighty soulless cor- j
poratious of Europe have us in their
grasp and hare bought up our states
men and through the influence of
Wall street are operating this govern-1
incut.’ This is no longer a govern
ment of the citizen but is uow a plu
tocracy, a government of the almighty
gold dollar.
The poor old Democratic party is
spotted all over with horrible colors,
and its look of innocence and integri-!
ty is gone. There’s yonr Lottery!
Democrats, yonr wliisky-ring Demo
crat, yonr anti-free coinage of silver
Democrat, your high-tariff Democrat,
your fife-wool Democrat, your sugar
bounty Democrat, your anti-Alliance
Democrat! (which last is in short an
anti-Deinocratic Democrat). Merge
the whole thing into one and say it is
the Jew Gold-bug Bankers of Europe
against the free citizen of America.
Money ou one side and mnscle on the
other.
11 means blood on the moon, and
forbodes no good to the next genera
tion, even if this one escapes.

Getting Alarmed.
The indications are that there will
soon l>e a People’s party organization
in every county of this State, and yet
Democrats in high places continue to
console themselves with the compla
cent reflection that Southern Alliance
men are all true Democrats and that
there is Dot the slightest danger of a
disruption of the Democratic party of
the State-—Tupelo Journal.
If we mistake not it was the Jour
nal which was saying a few months
ago that there would t*e no occasion
for alarm about a People’s party in
Mississippi, and that It wouldn’t be
anything but a little shower at best.

To all Good CHlron* of Mississippis
Pursuant to provisions made by the
great conference of the farmers and j
industrial unions held at St. Louis on (
22nd of February, 1802, the National
Central Committee of the People s|
party for Mississippi, at a meeting held ,
at West Point on the 23rd day of April,
1892, resolved that a State convention
be convened In the hall of the house of
representatives at Jackson on Wednes
day, the 22nd day of June, 1892, and
that Wednesday, the 15th day of June,
be fixed as the day for the people of
the several counties to meet and select
their delegates, who are in each county
to be double the number of its repre
sentatives in the lower house of the
legislature. Attention is called particu
larly to the notice required to be given
hy county committees in regard to the
selection of delegates to State conven
tions. The laws recently enacted con
cerning elections should be strictly fol
lowed. . tA, .
We call upon all good citizens of
Mississippi, regardless of former party
affiliations, who have the best interest
of the State at heart; who are tired of
the deceit, the incompetency and the
violated pledges of the two_ old politi
cal parties all who are sick of false
pretensions, false promises, of contin
ually receding hopes and constantly
darkening prospects - to join us in the
great movement of the people to re
lieve themselves from tneir unhappy,
condition.
We ask all good citizens who stand
appalled at the utter and inevitable
ruin now flowing over the land from
the ceaseless source of reckless parti
san devices and the rule or ruin poli
cies of the two old parties ; all who are
disgusted with the combination which
they have finally made against the
dearest and most vital interests of the
great mass of the people; all who are
disheartened and indignant at their
practical blending into one for the
purpose of defeating all measures look
ing to the reduction of taxes, the sup
pressing of monopolies and the in
crease of the circulating medium, to
buckle on their armor and help as.
We invoke the aid of all good citi
zens who are in favor of a just, impar
tial and economical government, ema
nating from the people, administered
for them and controlled by them in
the interest and for the prosperity and
happiness of the owners of the soil,
and the sweating brows of honest earn
ing ; the honest, intelligent and long
suffering labor that produces the
wealth aud the worth of the land, but
which is now robbed of its just reward
by a discriminating legislation and the
practical conspiracies of the two old
parties, banded together and ’virtually
pledged to the same policy under the
influence of Wall street and the money
power of the North.

in this great movement of the people
to save what is yet left to them of land,
of liberty and of living from the grasp
of gold-bugs, money lenders, monopo
lists, office-holders and office-seekers.
We call upon all who are willing to
stand up once more for the rights of
manhood; who desire to tread once
more the prosperous soil of freemen,
and who wish to secure to themselves
and their children the blessings in
tended for them by heaven, but of
which they are deprived by the in
trigues of avarice and the two old par
ties, to act with us.
Come out, fellow-citizens, from the
green tooth abodes of partisanism,
prejudice and poverty, turn your backs
alike upon the frowns and blandish
ments of those who would still be your
masters, and come and sit down by the
great wide, warm, friendly fireside of
the people, and may God help us to
redeem our country and restore it to a
state of happiness and prosperity.

Takes a Business View of It.
As the vote of the Alliance will be
a very important factor in the Presi
dential contest, it is well for our lead
ers to give it very close attention. No
man in this .State knows the strength
of this vote better than we do. We
had a brush with a good portion of it
last year, and if the position assumed
by the Sub-T. had not been so ex
treme and impracticable, we believe
that Senator George, who led the fight
against the Sub-T., would have been
defeated. As it was, the change of a
few votes iu a few counties would
have given the State to the Sub-T.
It is wise therefore to keep this rote
with us if we can, and If we caunot
retain all of it, let ns keep all we can
h.v every reasonable concession.—

PATENTED Nov. 14,1801.
The above drawiug represents
THE SCARBOROUGH ADJUSTABLE VEHICLE SHAFTS
which are more fully explained hy said drawing as referred to by the sperift
cations below.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a plain view of
one form of these shafts; Figure 2, a side elevation thereof, and Figure3, a
longitudinal sectional view.
The essential superiority of these SHAFTS over the ordiuary shaft ii
their adjustability with respect to each other in order that they may
be adjusted to suit different sized animals. They are very strong and dur
able, notwithstanding their adjustability, and nre comparatively simple, inex- .
peusive and easily repaired.
Referring to the drawings by letters, a designates an ordinary axle, :
to which a pair of draft or thill-irons c c’ are pivotally connected in the usu
al or any improved manner. These thill-irons curve upward and forward and
are rigidly connected together by a cross bar a’,this bar carrying the single-tree
and being attached to the irons by suitable adjustable damps or clips
The forward portions of the thill-irons are curved iuwardly toward each other
slightly and have their ends luilted or otherwise secured to the shafts proper
B R, the rear ends of which are vigidly but adjustably attached to the
c ross-bar «’ by means of suitable iron clips e e. Should it be desired or found
necessary, a short flat brace-bar/may be se cured under the war end of each
of the thill-irons to brace and stongthen the same.
By loosening the bolts of the clips e e, the rear ends of the shafts
may bo readily adjustedjfcithcr inwardly or outwardly,to accommodate differ
eut sited auimals,and after they are properly adjusted they may again he rig
idly secured by simply tightening the clip-bolts. The forward portions of
thill-Irons may bo sufficiently elastic to penult the adjustment of the shafts,
or this adjustment may Ire permitted by loosening the clips that bind the
ihill-irous to the cross-bar, which latter manner is the preferable one. With
these shafts the animal will have the advantage, being eight or ten inches
nearer the draft, and the vehicle may be guided with much less exertion than
with the ordiuary form of shafts.
With respect to their snperiorty over the old style shafts, we claim :
1st. That they are stronger and more durobfe, because there is no mor
tis or tenon, which always tends to weaken the parts.
2nd- They have trippte leverage and are therefore much easier on both
horse and mau.
3rd. They do away with the horse motion, because the tlplj-irons are
sufficiently elastic to counteract the same,
4tb. Vehicles are legs apt to capsize, because the rear unit or shafts
is so near the animal.
5th. They keep tlie vehicle directly behind the animal, whereby it is
prevented from swinging arouud, or sliding side-wise and jerking the animal
to ono side or the other. <£/■■*
