" What the people of Kansas want,
said prominent and veteran anti
monopolist and Alliance man to US
recently, "is not a union labor, nor
Alliance party, but peoples party,
one that will represent the masses and
modern ideas, and I think the people
know enough to organize such a
party"
Railroad officials, bankers, insur,
auce companies, liquor dealers and
other corporations, says an exchange,
go boldly into politics and laoor and
lobby for their men and measures
They always meaa business. But
farmers and workingmen must not
meddle with politics. Oh no Hands
off !-EG.
There is every indication for an
other heavy crop in this section this
season; and the farmers are in advance
with their work. Now listen for the
usual cry OF cover -productlon," and
low prices-while thousands of hungry
and unemployed men, women and
their children ar9 suffering for the
want of it. - World Of Liberty.
Remember, Alliance men, that your
| ak
stir up strife among our membership,
attempting to blacken the fair names
of your chosen leaders. This is done
to divide your forces and cripple your
influence. Money and corruption go
hand in hand when the enemy wishes
to ruin you.-Southern Mercury.
We notice with regret that the
Journal Of agriculture, St Louis, the
official organ of the F. & L. u. of
Missouri, is antagonizing the Sub
Ire easnry plan endorsed by the N. F.
! A. & L. L. last December. 1t is
strange that member of the order
thinks he has more sense than the
whole body combined.-Ky Labor
Journal.
1t is rather amusing to hear the
pin feather politicians snarling at the
Alliance for being a secret Organiza-
tlon which proposes to support its
friends for Office To hear some fel
lows around town mourn over this,
you would suppose that they regarded
a secret society with holy horror, but
at the same time the ones that croak
the loudest are probably members of
two or three lodges Woonsocket

Judge Miller, of the United States
Supreme Cour5, has decided that the
State Of California cannot prosecute
Nagle for the killing of Judge Terry.
He places the decision upon the right
OF the United States judges and officials
to authorize KILN in advance. A
power kings never had. 1t is to be
hoped tnat under this new power the
Chief Justice will order the killing of
several Of his associates at an early
day Exchange,
We're going to watch the pri
maries in the old parties, say some
Alliance members. Why not take
hold like men and run the primaries 4?
If you do not, you. had as we'll stay at
hone for all the good you will accom-
plish, for while you are watching, the
politicians, through their thimble
riggers and whippers,in will steal
you blind, In the primaries and

The national banks, after ENJOYING
for years immense profits from the
favors Of government, have retired in
a few years $4,000 900 Of their cur
rency, because, as they say, it is moro
profitable to sell the bonds at high

Take away all power over the cur
rency from the banks.-Missour5

a part of the interest they are paying
on their mortgaged farms, is A sorry
