People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 January 1895 — To The Public. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

To The Public.

While the business of the Pilot is now under the control of one individual, the plant is still owned by the original company and its success or failure is still as much a matter of interest to its one hundred shareholders as it ever was. The friends in a business wav. of this paper still deserve and will receive the reciprocal patronage of our stockholders the same as if the company was directly managing the paper. We ask that all friends will continue to give the paper that liberal support they have so cheerfully given in the past three and a half years. And we promise that in the future the paper will be made much more desrving (.f support, than it has been in the past. The paper will be conducted in a fair manner, show ir,g all due regard to the religious and political opinions of all honest men; standing firmly by whatever it, thinks is right, and consistently opposing whatever it believes injurious to the common well fare. D. H. Vi; oman, Pres. Li:t: E. Glazrbiiook, Sec’y.

The greenback at last must go. Put a dollar’s worth of gold in the gold dollar. The south and the west are in the saddle for silver. Hit the express monopoly with a 4 cent postage billy. Less than 100 million dollars is the world's product of silver.. Silver is used as the standard money by four-fifths of the civilized people of the world. The policy of Cleveland is the retirement of all treasury notes, greenbacks and silver certificate. Is it possible for the race to grow stronger and greater and more God like by a denial of opportunities to the masses? Starving millions m the presence of unlimited food supplies are a sorry evidence of the wisdom and righteousness of our lawmakers.

-T . * iN parly six million voters, or one-half of the electors of the United States, failed to vote last fall. Can it be that they are doin? some private thinking. Is “Caesar's Column"—reared by the fertile imagination of a philosopher and ardent lover of his tace as a warning to his fellows to become a reality? The Atlanta Constitution, the leading paper of the South, favors free silver, as does a big majority of Georgians atid all other American producers. The postal note, which was made to keep the people from howling when the fractional paper currency was destroyed, was retired by request of the banks. By special request of the banks, the postoffice money order is to be doctored so that the people cati not use it as a savings bank, as it is at present done to the extent of millions of dollars. The national banks in the very desperation of passing existence show an arrogance in demanding further consess’ons of special privileges, coupled with a renewal of their charters, that cannot fail to warn every observant person of the dangerous power that confidently dictates the financial policy of this country. The mills of the Gods grind slow but wondrous fine.

The free and unlimited coinage of silver, irrespective of any nation on earth, and at the established ratio of 1(5 to 1 cannot be side- tracked ivy any promise to coin the seigniorage. As long as metalic money is used the people will insist upon both gold and silver being given equal opportunities for coinage, and the wiTl of the people cannot much longer be subverted by the shrewd financiers, who control the gold of the world.

The postoffice should deliver parcels C. O. D., and collect drafts. Who dares to assert or maintain that a policy or a system that denies free recourse to the natural elements from which labor creates wealth, or compels him to pay tribute of that which he creates to usurers before he shall exchange that which he has created with bis fellow wealth producers—a policy Or a system that in any way or to any degree hampers or delays or makes more costly the produc tion and exchange of wealth, or robs the wealth producer of that which he creates —who will assert that such a policy and such a system is not as a ball and chain upon the limbs of the race to delay or prevent its upward climb? But this is the condition of our existence to-day. On every hand we see the sign, “Keep off the grass." and on every lane is a toll gate.

FIGURES NEVER LIE. —The People's Party More Than Doubled Its Vote Over 1892, While Both Democrats and the Republicans Lost Heavily.
