mitted to the Union. This makes
tour more Senators for free coinage.
More than two thirds. The people can
make the lower House the same this
fall wi;hou trouble. This silver ques
ton will not down until free coinage
is attained. Indianapolis Leader,
The Kansas City Star has an article
in it this week entitled "The Party
Press a Slave" It is impossible to
disguise the fact any longer, and the
people may as we'll wake up now as
any other time to the fact that the old
party press is ready to defend most
every measure prop sed oy the bosses.

The necessity for organization and
combined effort on the part of the
wealth producers, regardless and de
pendent of party, is apparent to every
one, except few Office hungry tools
of monopoly. We say to every one
who loves his country and his kind,
Keep in the middle # the road "

tion of anyone.-IHe Newspaper
Make your politics fit your ALI
ance principles. This every true ALI
ance man will do. but beware of him
who is always trying 20 make his
Alliance principles fit his politics.
This simply cannot be done, yet there
are a few men who belong to the
order that are making themselves
ridiculous in a futile effort to do SC.
1t can't be did.-Tre Newspaper.
AS a simple business proposition, is
it strictly legitimate for man who is
drawing a salary from the govern
ment, for which he is supposed to
render an equivalent service, to con
sumo the time that belongs to the
government in electioneering for
office ? Respectfully referred to the
Sixth Congressional district for con
sideration.-ToPeka, Kan, Advocate
Three measures in with the farm
ers are deeply interested have been
introduced in the present Congress -
the SUB Treasury bill, the free coinage
bill and the bill providing for govern
ment loans upon real estate security.
The Sub, Treasury bill and the free
coinage bill are already shelved, and
the ether bill will be when it comes
before Congress. Of course farmers
81 ould continue to vote for the old
parties.-1opeka Adv0cGte
The silver question has brought the
whole money question before the peo,
pie in spite Of all efforts to prevent.
The longer the question remains un
settled the more the people will know
about it, and the more will they be
con vinced that our present system is
robbery pure and simple. We have
nothing to lose by delay now. The
present discussion is opening the way
for government loans rapidly. On
with the fight !-Indianapoljs Leader.
The Joliet Qll) Press and People
says the Joliet rolling mills subscribed
$25 600 to Mr.. Quay's campaign fund
last year. The company afterwards
made II per cent. reduction in the
wages of it's EN- 3loyees, by which,
says the Press and People, "they will
recoup $4,000 Of that SUM-" So the
fellows who are getting practically
the sole benefit of the tariff laws" to
quote Mr.. Foster, are making the
workmen pay their campaign con
| tributions.
1t is reported from Washington that
Corporal Tanner has made 100000
out Of his pension claim agency during
the past year. Of this $4,000 came
in the form of $40 retaining fees
from 1000 veterans, and if either OF
the pending pension bills becomes q
law the Corporal expects that he will
be aole to retire in 1892. There are
several other pension claim agents il
Washington who are coming the honor
and reputation of the veterans Of the
Union army into magnificent fortunes
for Observation-Disclosures.
We are fearful that the course Of
the Journal Of Agriculture, as may be
understood from a communication
preceded by editorial comment, printed
elsewhere, is not calculated to pro
mote the best interests of the farmers
movement Discussions in one order
ara harmful to all, and we trust ou1
Missouri friends and brothers will not
only act wisely but justly. Too much
is at stake to permit local differences,
or personal Interests or preferences to
get in the way of successful. Yer
