Smith county, with request for
their publication.
Picking up a copy Of tho State
Journal Of June 4, we find a set OF
resolutions published from that alli-
ance, and the closing resolution pro
vides "that a copy be also furnished
The ALLIANCE ADVOCATE and official
papers OF Smith and Jewell counties
for publication" Comparing our
manuscript with the resolutions pub
lished in the State Journal we find
that they are not a copy Of the same,
and that they differ in some very es-
sential particulars. Our readers will
bear testimony 10 the fact that from
the very first issue Of this paper up
TO this time we have never refused a
hearing through it's columns because
the sentiment Of a writer was in con-
Aict with our own. In extending
these COurtesies, however, we have a
right to expect fair treatment in re-
turn. Should wo publish the resolu-
tions we have received, which are
said TO be copy Of the resolutions
published in the State Journal they
would prove to be not copy at all.
The whereas of the Journal reso-
luton sets forth in the outset a pal
pable falsehood 1t says "WhereRs,
A recent convention Of our county
presidents, called and packed by
President b. ii. Clover, and held in
the city Of Topeka" etc.
Now, as the call for the convention
referred TO was u call for a meeting
Of the county presidents, and as the
county presidents were all elect
cd by the several county alli-
ances, and as President Clover had
nothing whatever to do with their
election, the absurdity and the abso-
lutte falsehood Of the statement that
the convention was packed by presi-
dent Clover is apparent on the face Of
it. All Of these resolutions bear evil
dence on their face of being the work
OF a few political shysters, and in
sending them TO THE ADVOCATE they
were sent to the wrong market
The ADVOCATE is an alliance paper
It's policy is to advocate alliance doc
trines and sustain alliance interests
In doing this we are not so hide
bound as to exclude sentiments at
variance with our own, provided they
come couChed in language which is
properly Considerate Of the rights Of
others, and provided further the
writer has a reason to assign for the
faith that is in him. Simple declara-
tions are cheap. They costv very little
effort and they are many times utter
cd TO the injury Of alliance men.
Those alliance men(E who have only
words of adulstion for the political
demagogues who are largely respon-
sible for our present deplorable con-
dition, and condemnation for those who
are earnestly laboring night and day

10 Is the one thing neediul To purify
American politics.
The "hayBeed socialist" and the "ln-
convenient multitude" will make them
selves much more independent, much
more incOnvenlent 10 the political bosses
than in the past. Up 10 the time Of
Reeds ascendancy Carlisle was the most
autOcratic ruler the house had ever
known. Reed has discounted Carlisle.
The democrats openly aver that II sue
cessful they will make the republicans
sick in the next congress.
The party caucus now rules The mi
norlty might as well stay at home; they
can not pass any acts, and they Obstuct
Legislation.
Suppose the independent element elect
fifty members OF the next congress. Let
this element be made up from all the
farmer organizations as we'll as labor or
ganizations They could control the leg
lslation; they could prevent either party
from enacting laws for the benefit OF their
party, control the selection of speaker
and committees, and be Of inestimable
value 10 the country
On finance the two old parties would,
when they could not do better, vote as
they always have, for their master Wall
street
We offer the following for the consid-
Grafton Of your readers
PLATFORM
We, the people Of the United States,
hereby renounce our allegiance to the
democratic and republican parties, and
we resolve that in the future we will act
independently as TO party or politics, be-
lieving that the time has come when all
farmers and laborers should work TO-
gether for their interests and the inter
ests Of the whole country.
Resolved, That in the future we will
not vote for the nominee Of any party,
because he Is the nominee OF the party,
but will demand that oil candidates who
desire our votes shall openly and In print
state clearly whether they will supporter
oppose our cadinal principles, and II any
candidate falls 30 TO agree not TO vote
for him.
Our cardinal principles are equal and
exact justice to all. We oppose all mo-
nopolles that are made 30 for profit, but
we favor all combinations that tend to
decrease the cost Of necessaries or con-
venienCes, hence we favor governmental
ownership OF railroads and telegraph
lines. We are in favor Of the unlimited
coinage Of the metals used for money.
We demand that the per capita Of cir
culating medium be not less at any time
than flIty dollars.
We demand that all loans made by the
government shall be TO the people either
on products or land, or on both, and that
in no case shall the interest charged the
people be more than is charged the
banks, namely, per cent per annum.
We oppose the giving away Of another
acre Of our domain, and that no one shall
be allowed to purchase more than 100
acres, and chat aliens shall not be allowed
10 own lands in the United States sew
orally or jointly.
That in l774, In congress assembled,
our fOrefathers agreed that II any person
resisted their demands, "That any one
guilty Of such unworthy conduct ought 10
be made public, and that we shall have

Now York Working Girls.

Many columns have been written about
the working girls Of New York. They have
been described at one time as the EaCst oD-
pressed people upon the fFce Of the earth,
submitting to every con6iSion Of hardship,
and again they have been described e the
underPaid hireings Of cruel capitalists,
and all that sort Of thing. The average
working girl in New York is very different
from these DESCRIPTIONS. She is a cheerful
sort of being, who gets up early, works
late, looks healthy and complains very lit
tie. SometineS she seems tsiEe gay, and
often she is lively. / recall just row one
instance Of absolute cruelty on the part Of
her employer, and thaS IS IA the case Ct
rich dry goods firm which comPels her to
stand during all the hours of the day, with
q short respite at Roon of thirty minutes
for luncheon.
As an offset to this case may, l think,
properly mention the rules of an extensive
retail establishment Up near Twenty-t
street. The salaries Of the salcswoulcn in
this place sEe very liberal iBteed, and while
all the girls are compelled TO be on time in
the morning theJ'e is no system Of fines. 4
mere reDriTsand usually serves 81 the ends
desired. Ia summer every saleswoHlau is
allowed two weeks Of vacation on fulI pay,
and during the dull season she may take
rs many more without salary. But Ia 20
case is she mpel3od to co an amount Of
work that Is calGula3od to intuge her health
or to interfere wish her enjoyment IN the
evenings, except On Saturdays BaIti-

What to TeeeA Young Women.

A mother writes to me: "What shall l
teach ny daughters?" This one important
and tremendous fact, ny sister-5hat there
is no happiness ia tkis world for an idle
woman. 1t may be with hand. it may be
with brain, it may be with foot; but work
she must or be vyTetehed forever. The 1T
tie girls Of our f2zailies mast be started
with that idea. TIE curse Of our Ameri-
can society is that cur yeDag women are
taught that the first, second, third, fcarth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth fftieth, thou
saRdth thing in theSC life is to get some
body to take care of them.
Instead Of that, the FIRST lesson should be
how, under God, they may take care Of
themselves. The simple fact is that ma
joTity Of them 60 have TO t4keczre CT them
selves, and that, toe, after having, through
the false notions Of their paTe2ts, wasted
the years in which they ought to have
LEANED how successfully TO maintain them
selves. Il is inhumaa and cruel for any
father or mother who pass their daughters
into womanhood having given them no
facility for Gaming their livelihood.
We should teach our daughters that
work of any kind, when necessary, is q
credit and honor to them. 1t is a shame
for 2 young woman, belonging to Z large
family, to be inefficient when the fsther
and mother toll their lives away for her
support. 1t is a shame fer q daughter 10
be idle while hsr mother tolls at the wash
tub. It is as honorable to sweep house,
make beds or trim hats as it IS to twist q
watch chem or cmbroider d sliPDer.-Eev.
