are we strlvingP
In answer lot me say that the laboring
masses OF America are q unit in demand
Ing the destruction OF combines and
monopolieai larger circulation Of
money per capitai secret ballot; and
the abolition OF gambling In the products
Of labor. On these and many other
questions OF national importance, tho
members Of the alliance and other farmer
and laborers' unions are all Of one mind.
But how about the tariff and penslonsP
How nearly DO we agree on the southern
question: II Ii useless 10 expect 10 secure
needed reforms, even though we unite In
demanding them, by petitioning congress,
by oloctlng politicians who have pledged
their sacred honor 10 work for our inter
ests, or In any way other than by sending
10 congress men from our ranlSs-men
whom we know, and whom we know 10
bO honest. But this seems to be lmpossl-
bio under the existing condition OF polItl-
cal differences, II is at this point that
the professional politician shows his
great knowledge Of human nature. He
knows that AZ long as the masses are di-
ylded ON even one great, or seemingly
great question, Just 30 long are they
practically divided on ALL Consequently
no says TO the eastern and northern pro-
ducers; "You must protect yourselves
and families by protecting home manu-.
facture and home market" To the
southern and western farmer he says:
sin free trade lies your only salvation
In the ears Of southorner he whispers
with kindllest sollcitude "Aayou value
your life and property, beware Of negro
supremacy. Crush the negro, or he will
crush you" In the north he thunders in
tones Of vlrtuous Indignation. "How ter
rbly cruel and mercllossly inhuman are
the southern outrages." These have
been and are his tactics Shall they
longer succeedP
The question Is for us TO answer Our
only hope lies In union on all national
Issues twill certainly be worthy the best
efforts Of the greatest minds Of the alll-
ance, TO find some position on any ques-
tion which may arise, whore we can all
unite, and together battle for the com
mon welfare. That there will be some
clashing Of interests, that there must be
some concessions from all sides, II Is use
less TO deny, But make bold TO affirm
that there is no irreconcilable antagonism
between the farmers Of the east and OF
the west, or Of tho north and south.
Much local good can doubtless be ao-
by our organization az Il now
exists with the sectional feeling still un-
layed, but no national legislation In favor
Of the "great common people" can be So
cured until we have proven 10 ourselves
and 10 the world that Il is impossible for
the politicians to thrust any question
upon us on which we can find no mutual
position which the producers Of all sec
tIons OF the United States are willing to
accept as satisfactory.

ers and laborers Of America march for

ALABAMA.
ON The National Economist.

From the National Economist.
Alabama is the first state this year TO
hold conventions, aud naturally all eyes
are turned upon the fierce struggle that
Is waging there, bitter and unrelcntlng.
Alabama Is an agricultural state, with
large and important manufacturing In
terest, but still properly classed an agri-
cultural state. II always shows a large
democratic majority. Its farmers, like
those Of all the other states, have for a
number Of years realized that farming
was not profitable; in fact, that II yielded
a smaller return for the labor, capital,
and ability employed than any other oc-
cupation, and when the great tidal wave
swept the country, which aroused the
farmer TO say "Come, brother farmers,
let US reason together" which resulted
In the organization Of the farmers into an
alliance, defensive and offensive, Alabama
was the first after Texas, to organize.
The farmers did not organize for pollti-
cal purposes, or for spolls; they organ
lied for "mental, moral, social, and 6nan-
clal Improvement" They have now been
organized several years, and have been
diligently studying the situation. They
have certainly discovered the cause Of
the depressed condition Of agriculture,
and find that a few notifications in the
laws Of the country are necessary 10 cor
rect them. These notifications will In
no way interfere with any useful business
Of the country; the only objection any
one can have to admitting them is that
such an admission shows that both the
great political parties have not discharged
the full measure Of their responsibility TO
the people when in power Thus II is
that In demanding reform measures the
alliance has TO contend against bitter OPP
position from both the democratic and
republican parties. II is hardest on the
the republican party, because that party
is now In power, and to admit the justice
Of the farmers demands they seem TO
think would condemn their past and open
a chance for the democracy to succeed;
but the opposition from the democracy TO
the alliance is just as bitter, because they
claim that any reflection on the past
record Of the party will tend TO keep II
from again gaining the ascendancy.
These are both false conceptions OF the
true situation. The old maxim that the
most effective way to avoid errors is TO be
speedy in acknowledging them is just as
true Of governments as II is Of men, and
the party that will stand upon the broad
platform Of justice to the people will soon
earn the gratitude Of the people. 1t is
probably true that the great, honest, con-
Bervative rank and file Of both parties
would be willing TO grant any just meas
ure in favor Of the farmers, but 1t Ia also
true that the party management in both
parties has been largely delegated TO
rings and cliques that consider party su-
superior to the interests Of any
Or all classes, and will resort to fair means
Or foul 10 secure it, This is a deplorable
admission to make in free government,
but It is true.

ance and the corrupt methods Of the

Congress as to require the Diss-
tons, Carnegies, Rockefellers and
Wanamakers to sacrifice their in

South. To promote race disturbances in
the South was to depress agriculture, TO
retard mining, to interrupt ma1.ufac-
turing, to decrease railway freights, and
in many other ways make The property
of Northern investors Improbable. Their
pockets were touched and their minds
became Immediately responsive TO the
appeals Of the Southern people, white
and black, Democrat and Republican, not
to stir up the race hatred. Governor
Gordon made al most the same appeal
that Hamilton Disston made, but he
made 1t in different way.

THE astute politicians who run the

are neither wise philosophers nor aces
rate historians They have more of the
senseless conceit Of 'JOey B, devilish

point is the Levy Court, which they &C 4
euse Of all sorts of crimes, forgetting
that only four years ago they
had H. 9. Mahaffy and four
other great Republican statesmen in
that body and the only transactions
which were open to criticism were those
real estate transactions Of Mahaffy. The
Levy Court can show, what few bodies of
