THE ALLIANCE AND THE BOYCOTT.
A Plan to Force the Newspapers 10 Sup
port the Alliance Throughout
the Country.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-President Polk of
National Farmers Alliance has named Fri.
day, Feb. 6, 1891, and Washington, d. c.,
as the place of holding the first meeting of
the National press and presidents of all
State Alliances. An important plan of &C
ton taken during the closing moments of
the late convention was the adoption of a
resolution with reference to the support of
all Alliance men.
The policy of the Alliance will be to wit :
Hold all influence from newspapers that do
not conduct Alliance departments, or at
least publish Alliance news regularly. This
arrangement does not compel support OF
Alliance measure, oran advocacy OF Al lance
demands on the part of these newspapers
IN their editorial columns, but does compel
a certain degree of friendiness on their
part 1t amounts to an absolute boycott of
of all newspapers which do not come UP to
tn terms of the resolution.
