THE ALLIANCE MEN.


No one fears the work which may
be done in the next House of Repre-
sentatives by the Farmers Alliance
members. They will be given leeway,
and their suggestions will be welcomed
by everyone. The suggestions of the
men who will move into the Fifty second
Congress direct from the farm will be
refreshing, and 1t is believed that some
of them may propose something which
will prove OF lasting benefit. The
trouble in the past has been with farm
ers' Alliance propositions, that they
have been the inception of politicians
and professional organizers within the
ranks, and have therefore plrtaken
more or less of the impracticable work
of life. AS Senator Sherman has sug-
gested, the Republican party will be
glad to take up any safe proposition
made by the farmers looking toward
the enlargement of the circulating
medium, but, there must be moth
ing issued by the consent Of the gov.
eminent which is not redeemable by
the United States government ultlm-
ately. This puts the warehouse-receipt
proposition IN the light Of being a mat
ter for the federal government TO deal
with solely.
1t will, therefore, behoove the Demo
cratic organization of the Fifty, second
Congress to invent some plan tor
taking care of all the practical and I'M
practicable propositions which may be
presented, and if any unworthy PROPOSE
tons receive favorable action by the
House as body, the party in control
will be responsible for it, and II there Is
anything offered which IS popular with
the country at large, and It Is ho'
adopted, the Democrats will be held
responsible. 1t is very likely that there
will be more caususes held during the
first session of the Fifty, second Con-
than were ever convened by any party,
and the bent of the conferences Will
be the disposition of the propositions Oh
the new and fruitful minds.
