Vote Your Own Sentiments.

There seems to be complete awaken
ing among the people of this part of the
state on the question of political reform.
They are feeling the depressing infu
ences of hard times as they have never
felt before. and are in great degree
able to realize that there is a wrong
somewhere in the political methods Of
the old parties, which idea is generating
distrust in their leaders. The political
economy taught by the Alliance is doing
q great deal toward the education Of the
farmer and laboring man in regard to
the cause of our hard times and the mis-
management and corruption of our gov
eminent officials. There will be great
effort on the part of the old party
leaders to whip the dissatisfied into
working harness during the present
campaign. But from the signs of the
times we aver that the people have be-
come too enlightened to be deceived by
the hurrah any longer. Beware of this
nefarious partisan influence, and then
vote your own sentiments. Alexandra

The income of this new business
may be derived from Ia borers in such
way as the laborer today adopts in
paying his dues into labor organ
ization; this income may come from
the workmen in all trades, say dol
lar or so per month from each man,
or proportionately less from women.
This new business could, by means
OF branches, extend itself all over the
country, and in this way prove an
element OF strength no employer
could resist.
All questions in dispute should be
left for the investigation of the new
business, and where employers were
unjust they must either do what is
fair, or their workmen would be Or
dered out, as is done to-day by labor
organizations, with this difference:
the employer knowing it is for the in
terests of the new business to avert
strikes, as by their means it's capital
is impaired, will listen to it's advice
in a different mood from that engen-
dered by labor organization.
When a strike is ordered bv the
new organization, the men ordered
out will receive one-fourth or one
third OF their regular wages from the
new organization which wages shall
continue so long as the strike is in
