THE PROaRESSIVB FABMER FBBRUAR1T 23. 1892 4' PENSIONS. Two Billloa and Two Hundred Millions in Pensions Paid te Rick Corpora V tiofli Annually Shall we Pension the Rich or Needy? s HTPOOR1CT. Mr.. Enrroit: There is a hue and p going up all over the South among , democratic organs against tiie p re.se m ystem ot pensioning union soiuiere. The writer would have referred to this . subject if it were not that many of these organs are warning the people m the South against the feople s party &s a party, if put into power wm m-c-reao the pensions of Union soldiers -and increase the burden of the tax payers. The People's party Ins adopted the Alliance plana and they will reduce the -burdens of taxation. There ai r two ways to reduce the burden of taxation. , , M.f First By increasing the ability 01 "Hhe people to ; J their taxes Second, tfy decrease, wauuuu. Alliance measures endorsed by the People's party will do both This railing it the People's party for what these D 0. P. organs suppose the . People's partv will do comes with poor grace from party that has never made an. ho; est effort to remove the pensions put upon the industrial class by the money devil, railroads and patent right and telegraph monopolies Let us glance at the pensions being paid to monopolies by the con -eit of the G. O. P. and D. O. P. Through the iniquitous financial legislation in augurated and perpetuated by these ' two old machines the money devil is pemioned upon the industrial class to the tune of one thousand, munon aoi lars.each year and the pension is being -enlarged. To secure these pensions they have mortgaged the industrial olass ten billion dollars, and they are increasing the mortgage each year. In the interest of gamblers and specu lators oa the farmers and other indus trial classes the people are robbed to par a pension to this class five hundred million dollars each year. In the interest of railroad monopolies the in- . dustrial class are taxed three hundred and' fifty million dollars to pay pen sions on watered or fictitious stock that represent no values, and this pension is cn the increase. In the interest of patent right monopolies the people are ta j td three hundred millions annually, and the tax is on the in--crease. The r allow a few monied men to steal or buy a patent right for a song, form a corporation, manufac ture, fix prices to suit their cuoidity, and charge the. consumer all the way from 210 to 1,000 percent above cost for manufacturing. Six-sevenths of all the meritorious machinery is patented and cost the buyers two 'hun dred per cent, more than they would est if there were a free and open com pennon m manufacturing tun ma ehinery and other patents. During the life of the patents on siwing machines a machine that eost nine dollars to make sold for sixty five dollars and one that cost twelve dol lars to make sold for vis hty-fi ve dollars. The 2dcCormic machine that cost twenty-seven dollars to manufacture sold for one hundred and seventy five dollars. This extra cost with interest ca it is charged up to the consumers -and tho interest on this extra cost , amounts to not lass than one hundred and sixty millions annually. In the I interest of the telegraph monopolies the industries are taxed to pay divi dends on watered stock amounting to five times the cost of construction or . forty per cent, upon first cost. Those two old machines have so chaped legislation that in twenty-five years they have doubled the pur chasing power of the goldites dollar . and reducing the ability of the tax payer one-half to pay their taxes. They have squeezed twenty billion dollars of the products of labor into ten billion dollars of the creditor ci iss . . notes, and this pensioning process is on me increase, tiero is pen-ions paid to monopolies amounting to two billion an i two hundred millions each year. This amounts to $33 89 each year for -every man, noman and child in the United States, or $237.16 for every family of seven and this per capita pension is on the in-jrease. They have Eiensioned these monopolies upon the armors by making them pay eighty per cent, of the taxes while the farm era have less than one half of the wealth of the country. Here is pen dons by the wholesale. Has any measure been introduced by the Democrats that has received .the endorsement of a Democratic caucus that looked to the removal of the pensions to rich monon. liri? Mm any bill been introduced by the Demo cratic party thai; has received the uiiuursemtjiu vl a loemoeratio caucus that looked to the removal of anv part of the burden of this pension ? Reader did you ever hear of one? Wo will :pay one hundred dollars to the first of these Democratic organs thas will bring At to aayugnt know that a dollar to the average -editor look as large as a cart wheel, and one hundred dollars is more than ;you often j ogle iu your pockets. .nearly all tu se editors of Democratic organs wat t office a sugar plum they expect for service rendered so -their salaries are fixea and this squeez ing process j. increasing the purchas ing power ui these salaries.

Didnt Carlisle as Speaker pack com mittees so that no bill looking to " financial reform ever saw daylight? Did Reed do more t On every occasion vrhen the Democrats have had power they have sb own a disposition to use it in th infere&i of pensioning rich monopolies.

Thee are facts kuorn to all these editors of Democratic organs S uth. Does these editors expe(;t to make any change in the present pension system ix)King to r , c a. mi- . t jio n Hiuction ot taxewf xuey cxpecu nothing of the kind. Democratic C mgressmen from the North have introduced bills to equalize the bounties of soldiers. Any move looking to a change of the present pen sion system will bring overwhelming defeat to the Democratic party. Oiiice is what these Democrats want, nud they will not do anything to jeopardize the success ( f the party. This is why these Democratic org ins all over tho South have turned their coat and abandoned all financial reform. They are now sati.-fied the pensioned monop- Lolies holds the sugar plums. Why this demagoguery? IK is to prejudice and deceive Southern voters and pre vent them from going into any other Earty by miking them believe the emocratic party will reduce taxes by repealing the present pension system. Second. They are furnishing aramu nition to the Republican party North to enable them to hold the old soldiers to the Republican fold. The two old machines are puppt in the hands of pensi ned monopolies, and when they say dance, they dance, but they make the industrial class pay the fiddler. Reader, observe how anxious these Democratic organs all over the South advocate the repo.il of the 10 per cent tax on State banks- go the rich moneyed men in the South can lom their credit (debts) to the industrial class and pen sion them on the working people. Does any of these Democratic organs propose to "repeal the present franking syttem and have tho government issue its credit and put this money into eireu lation by paying tha expenses of the government., and to this extent reducing expanses and saving the people the enormous pension paid in the shape of interest on private corporati na credit. Why don't they advocate this measure when it would remove sueh a burden some pension from the backs of the people! Because their bosses have put a muzzle upon t heir mouths. The bosses fear the nvmey devil more than they These 2x4 edito rs haven't a soul they dare to call their own. Under tho State banking system tl ey will allow the rich to tax the in dustrial class South fifty-eiht Millions of dollars annually for the use of their credit, and eighty millions each year to foot bonds on which to issu their promise to pay. The Alliance plan adopted by the People's party will save the Southern producers eight hundred.millioua each year now paid as pensions to rich monopolies. Th Peoples' party once in power will issue fifty dollars per capita, and this will be" put into circu lation without taxing our industries. By so doing they will double the pay ing power of the industrial class The increase of the circulating medium to fifty dollars per capita will gire the South an additional eirculati n of $300, 0( "0.000. I want to make a surges-, tion or proposition to the Democratic i editors who are championing the pen hhjuuus ot ricn corporations, suppose we adopt Senator Woods' financial plan, viz: Iet the government issue iiill legal tender United Stites notes to the amount of fifty dollars per capita, and let each State have its pro rata. Each State would be free to choose their plan of putting this monev into circulation. Let tho Southern States loan seven hundred millions to the people, secured by real estate at 4 per cent, interfst. tho interest on this will amount to twentv eight milliong annually. To keep up tho per capita to nrty aouars, tne Soutn will receive annually twenty millions dollars fromt the U. S. Treasury. Tins will give the South an inn-m of forty eight millions annually. Now I am coming to mv real proposition. 1 want you to show a portion of your love for the poor broken down Confed erate soldiers who for four years ex posed their breasts to bullets and their bodies to the inclemency of the weather and showed a fortitude under suffering for the lost cause that is worthy of your best attentions I propose we take one hundred millions of this money and buy a large, farm in each Congressional district and make a homo where disabled soldiers, their wive3 and dependent children will have a comfortable home, and where their children will be educated to be good citizens. This will give each Con gressional district over five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Kit these tanna under the control of sbiU,l f-. . .

" You V : KC want local monev then let the State and counties iS money to the amount of fifty dollar? per capita, based on the credit of the act ot jusace and humanity. You won t have to pension the ooys in gray long; they will soon han in ?Sr checks and camp on the ever green shore where the ru,u are not nor the poor neglected.

Va tradi slf a.tct.; bIe training and JL -!l?t.!5?tpnd not lft t grow up criminals as they are now t prey on the industrial class, fill prisons and add taxes to ths lax payers. It will not cost anything to do this and will save th South millions of taxes each year. Won't it bo bttm to pen sion the old Confederate soldiers than to continue the pensioning of rich cor porations and taxing the wealth pro ducers as wo are now doing? You won't have to pension the boys who wore the gray long They will soon psM over, but corporations never die. There is no way to pension rich corporations but by taxing the people. You can pensiou the old soldiers with out any cost to the people. Under this plan the pensioning of the boys ia blue and gray will cost but little If you h tve one half the love for the boys who wore the gray you have shown for rich corporations, you will fall in with us aud ctrry out; this plan. Help us carry out this act and perform the greatest act of your life ana immortalize yourselves. Will you hesitate! If you do not agree to this at once, the better class of people in the South will do it through the People e party. This act of justice the S uth owes to the broken down and destitute Confederate soldiers aud their wives and dependent children Just as certain as there is a God in Heaven, the people in the South will perform this delayed but righteous act. It is a duty that should and will be gratefully performed by the South when the people are in power. The hearts of the masses are in the right phve. In all earnestness in't it time to stop pensioning the rich and spend a small portion we have gpent on the rich on the needy? The people will do this gladly if you will help remove this pension burden of two billions and two hundred mil lion dollars and double their abilities to pay taxes and debts. Won't you help in to do this? If you do not, then the boys in blue and gray wdl do it through' the Peo ple's party. It is as certain to be done as if it had been accomplished. Why do you hesitate? Are you afraid the momy devil will deprive you of gov ernment pap? It that is your reason, then cravens to the rear. The People's party will bridge over the cham and take care of every worthy soldier North and South and relieve th indus trial class of paying over two billions in pemious to rich corporations, and double the ability of the tax payers to pay their taxes. Hark 1 ye Democratic organs, we are going to ha .-e a govern ment of the people, for th people, by the people, for th firt time in thehis- torv of the civilized wo:'id. We are going to reverse the orier of things. We ar going to make cor porations our servant". For ages they have been our masters. We iiuld this truth to be self-evident that the South owes to thQ destitute Confederate 1 .diers, their wives and dependent chil dren to furnish them a comfortable home the rest of their lives They now have a chance to do it and relieve the toil ing mawsea of aburJentoo griev ous to be borne any longer. This movement is not made bv broken down politicians, but hf inert" who have the supreme love of God and man in their hearts. They are determined that the race shall no longer he op pressed in th interest of the ferv and at the expense of the many. This Alliance movement chrysta ized into law will bring relief at once to the oppressed North and South. You can help us to do it. Whether you will or not, will not stop this humane movement. We are determined to place this nation where every man, woman and child will re ceive a home and the necessaries of life There is an abundance for all and we are determined to establish a correct system of distribution. The two old machines have been weighed in the balance and found woefully wanting. W e have had class legisla tion and hypo.-ritical attacks on raanu factures and eeemuig defen-K? wnile the real pensioned monopolies have re ceived protection from these two old corrupt machines. Every proposition made by the Alliance, it chrystalized into law, will equally benefit every in dustrial class. How can it then be cs legislation? challenge the world to put their fingers on one proposition that can ever be construed into class legislation. I call upon every Allianct organization to appoint a committee to canvass for subscribers for reform papers. Appoint a good zealous com mittee, and you can soon double the circulation of your organs and support era Patroniz no paper that opposes the leading Alliance demands It you succeed, you must put the Alliance and reform literature into the hands of every voter. Rally to a man and down this cor rupt system of pensioning the rich. Stop pensioning the rich and give the poor a chance The ri- h can take care of themselves; the unfortunate helpers and incompetent need help. Let us so legislate as to help those who need it. In conclusion, we will say to those Democratic organs if they will not help us to carry out our noble plans, they had better not monkey with this pen sion business, a9 it is a buz saw with ugly teeth and some are very long, and in the end they will be sure to get at your.

Alliance. i uuuu uw Tcmcn.-Tg unfavorable, tne nous was nearly iuirs The audience listened for about one and half hours with intense interest. He said: "Tnj Alliance would never hav existed had it not been for the necessity. Remove the cause and it will cease to exist. A backward look will show us that o lr condition is worse than th it of our fathers ; it is not because the wealth is not in our country. But because thirty thousand men hive it This is a sad fact. Wrong system is the caus. for the farmer pro duces seven-ights of the wealth in the country. Tnero mu4 be change. Introduce a system that wi 1 rightly ditritaite r. To do this we nmt have concert of a -tion, that is our only hope. We have been convinced that we must have an issue of our own. I know when the farmers try to tell whit they want, the plutocrat takes off his silk beaver and kid gloves and says go home and go to work, you are Uzy. If so. where do the produ its come from ? Well, you are extravag-u tand in all my travels I have not seen an extrav agant farmer. If I were to see extrav agance coming in at my front gate I would run and cry murler. Thn tho plutocrat says it is over production Laziness, extravagance and over pro duction fit ; No. it is none of these We have two million tramps that could not get work, men and womn are hungry and shivering. The cotton und wool produced in thru United states iu oae year would only make them three garments apiece. Every grain of wheat would only make them six biscuit apiece per day, plenty of men could eat that many for brakrast and then behunrr all day. The pernio would coneume'the products if they could set them But the producer is too poor to hold them and the consumer too poor to purchase. If a ain has a barrel of ftour he will not buy. A week's provis ions is all he can afford at one time. Tne adviser nexs says, yu don't raise the right kind of cr ps, raise corn and meat and you will ba happy. D we have a section of this kind ? Yes. In Illinois its said that you have to make a hog squeal to tell where his head is. (Lsughter.) Tin people are $35,i00. 009 in debt. They are too poor to hold their erops and are oblired to sell for has than cost of production. The financial system is a great fraud and ught to have been abolished twenty five years ago The "Gold Bugs" fer the price. If you will lt me for theprice I can make or break any man regardless of his oc cupation, profession or trade. The men of vVall St have concluded to make us poor. But it is no use to curse them, cha lge the system. They contracted one-third of the uirrency, and cotton fr 11 from 33 to 20 cents. Silver was dmon?tijsed and the circulation di mioished from 7 to S billions. The system is selling out 459 persons every day and closing out 350 business men very week. And do you know that ten thousand men of England mav call tor a panic and it win come in thirty-six hours, aud we would perish in twenty days ? A gold a4 will run any country, ri me tenths ot our busi ness is done on the credit. There ought to be enough money to run a cash business, you can't borrow money at 8 per cent and not make but 3 per cent on investment There is no use of making gold the basis. We could live without it, they want an honest dollar. There is not an honest dollar in America, and there will never be until it will buy the same amount the year rouud. The credit of the country ought to be based on some thing substantial, sueh as meat and bread. He compared the present system to the old negro s "'possum and taters which he had cooked and put aside to cool, and while waiting fell asleep. A young negro came along, took the meat off the bones, greased the old man's lips and left the bones and potato peel ings on the floor by his side. When the old negro awoke and found his lips greasy, the bones and peelings on the floor, said: '"1 must have eat dat pos sum and taters, but if I did, it was the most 'onsa'isfying' possum and taters 1 ever saw." When we demand the abolition of the national banking system we must present something better; the Govern men t's money is the peoples' money. Give us the ' Sub Treasury plan" and the price will remain nearly the same ail the year round. The Land Loan ch 'me and Sub Treasury plan is a bridge over the chasm, and America will get on a boom. The plan will give ii. f. . Uv,.. -NT. ll. 1.- i -r i-io wu iiuusco in inuiui VviirOUIlH. HUU 11 it didn't it would control the price all the same. I have never met an objec tion to it wnensittcd down that would weigh an ounce. I am ashamed to work till I get so tired I have to rest before I go home, and then my wife and children get po orer every time the moon fulls. But we have treed the coon and shine d his eves. You know how to get him down ? The seven de mands will cut him. The Democrats and Republicans both say, let us cut him down, but we say you must use the Alliance axe The Democrats say low tariff, the Republicans say nigh tariff. He compared the Alliance to the young hunter that found a pquir- rel up a tall pine, ine oia nunter showed it to him but he wa afraid t shoot, for fear he would miss, but he tnnk eood aim and br ought him down. If thev. (the G. O. P.,) don't bring him down, the next thing you know the Al liance will have the "coon and gone on." vveueeu men not pledged, but who are in sympathy with us and our interests. Am m whose heartbeats in sympathy for us and who defend our principle but that would be pa ternalism. WTe have it now. We do the paying and they do th turning. We must have a change if we have to Eut old rustie farmers in the White ouse. Ours is no wild eat seheme but right and just. We want peace Voa earth and good well toward men, equal rights to all and special favors to none In conclusion, he said, "Be true to your principles, true to the Alliance, to your country and your God, and you will see the grandest era that has ever dawned upon America. - G.

That we are unable to s e how it is possible for us to be benefit by either of the political parties as the1 now exist, since they have, for the p twenty -five years, been so intently gaged in fighting each other for power place and pelf, that they have not ha time to attend t anything that per tarns to the welfare of the people. 21. That, in our opinion, not a single act of Congress for the past twenty fire years has been passed for the bene fit of the people alone; and, in order that sufficient means maybe furuhod to perpetuate this endles warfare, vie people have been and are now being taxed beyond endurance. 3d That the political bosses and quai exponents, of public opii ion but poorly understand the animus of the people, burdened with mortgages, op preed with taxes and ground down. under a contracted currency, oy mo j nopolies. If they expect to control the masses by the crack of the party whip, even should the new crackers be "negro supremacy," "Force bill," etc, ; for while theee may be ominous proba bilities, yet we are confronted by more important demands. 4th That the low price of cotton and the combined effort to contract its acreage so that the price may cover cost of production, the assignment of our merchant friends in cities and towns, who, in making common cause with us, are being eagulfed with us in the common ruin, skould make us look beyond some proballe.. ptty reduction of tariff at some indefinite time in th future,, and combine as citizens in a common cause, and demand something more tangible for immediate relief. 6th. That political wiseacres who are constantly popping their heads above the crest of the raging sea of political trouble and crying "peace, peace, and who are indefatigable in asserting that there is no need of a third party, and hence there will be no third party, do not represent us. 6th. That we look to our Ocala de mands we hopV to receive. 7thThat we reiterate our former resolutions not to support any candi date for office who does not stand squarelv on the Oala demands 8th. That we look forward with much interest to the meeting of the conven tion of February 32d, and express our confidence in those who shall represent us, and believe that much will be done towards solving the great question of relief for all classes of the oppressed people G.
