AS the day of election draws near,
Alliance men should keep an eye on
those Congressman who talked like
farmers but voted like pirates. Ch

The Alliance is causing much
anxiety among some kinds of poll
ticians in some States. A sleeping
giant seems to be waking up =

We have a private letter form a
friend in Buffalo, New Y ork, who says:
" Fight tor the Sub,Treasury bill, it
will kill the national banks and be
the savior of our nation. y Southern

The farmers will soon begin to
legislate for the lawyers. When they
do, what havoc there will be with the
mountains of precedents piled up in
every State by the masters of finance.

The Sub, Treasury bill will prevent
the speculator from taking the crops
at his own price The farmers are
the only people on earth who have a
right to price their own products. -
Southern Alliance Farmer.
Farmers need never expect to see
continuous prosperity while specula
tors are enabled to accumulate millions
in day gambling on their products,
and spectators will continue to gam
ble on those products as long as the
government is administered by parties
which must have Doodle to win

Between the monopolist who owns
a railroad and his brother who owns
millions of untaxed wealth producing
United States bonds the farmer or
the honest working man is like Him
who died on the cross between two
thieves. The monopolist has no con-
science. Corporations are soulless.-

If any means can be divised by
which TO persecute the Alliance and
destroy its strength, the plotter for
the defeat of the Sub Treasury Dill
will find them. No people working
to free themselves from oppression,
ever met with such unrelentiug perse-
as the Farmers Alliance is meeting in
Georgia. Alliance Farne".
Twenty million of dollars were
needed to keep the Wall Street specu
lators above water, and the govern
ment rushed to the rescue. Every
dollar of that money will soon be
loaned to farmers at from ten to twenty
per cent. year-and then again the
cry for help And that money was
dishonorabIy paid-yes, dishonesty.

No reform was ever accomplished
without a change of leadership, says
the Alliance Farmer. The men who
have Teen running in a given line and
making no special plea for the people.
They believe that the farmers have a
right to discuss agricultural methods,
but no right to take any interest in
affairs of government; therefore, they
cannot be depended upon to fight the
farmers oattle.-KGnSGS COn1n10neT.
We now have 10000 millionaires
and 100000 tramps in the United
States. Thirty, years ago we had only
two milliOnaires and the same number
tramps. The wealth of the country
is fast being accumulated in the hands
of few. If a change is not made
before another thirty years passes all
the wealth of the country will be in
the hands of few and all the rest of
thepeople will be pau pers Exchange.
Congressman Bynum rises to make
the pertinent enquiry, if the home
market idea is such bright one, why
shouldn't it be carried out in the case
OF State, county and a township,
or town. Every State ought to shut
down on the products of every other
State as far as it could, and every
county and township, &c, 70 encour
age their home markets = Whining

1t cost ABOUT SZOO,OOO TO print tn6
Congressional Record last year, and
Blair's six day speech wasn't in it
either. With the avalanche of stuff
the Reed gang and their co partisans
in the other wing of the capitol have
precip pitated on the country through
the columns of the Record, it will cost
about 100000 for this year. 1t
comes high, but it is the average
statesman's path to fame and glory.
A fool never changes his politics.
Who ever heard of half idiot leaving
his party. A platform of principles
is nothing to him. He follows along
after the old name year after year
