REL GiON AND THE ALLIANCE.
A Preacher Talks of the Moral Import
of The Farmers Organization

a Preacher Talks OF the Moral Import
of The Farmers Organization.
New YORK. Dec. s.-Prior to his
regular sermon yesterday morning the
Rev. Thomas Dixon selected as the
theme for his pulpit review The Moral
Import OF the Farmers Alliance" He
said in part:
THE real sensation Of the year is the
advent of the National Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union. 1t is 70
mushroom growth. 1t is the resistless
movement of millions under the op-
preston of a country. It's motive is
social. economic, religious and political.
The advent OF these embaUtled hosts is
the most pregnant event of this genera
tics. 1t is the beginning of revolu-
ton that will shake this continent and
the world. The first time they gathered
around the ballot-boX was the 4th of
November last. They poIIed between
two and three million votes, elected
governors of three States, sent forty
men to Congress, and scared the life
out Of hundreds they did not defeat.
What is the moral meaning of this
great movement?
First, it is the protest of the patient
burden bearers of the world who have
toiled through weary years, struggling
beneath the wrong OF economic and
political supersttions. In America the
farmers have become the beasts of bur-
den Of the whole nation. Their bust
ness has been to feed over 65, 900, 900 of
people, together with the hosts of the
old world, with the products of the
years work, and then through the
winter exc out miserable existence,
wrestling with their mortgages, cy-
clones, and foods
Second, this movement means the
education of the masses as masses-of
the farmer as farmer. 1t means the
assertion Of the manhood of the woman
of the nation. This is real education.
The accent of our education hitherto has
been to get onto rise. The farmers
are learning and teaching their child.
rem iii this organization that the work
of the farm is as sacred, as noble as
honorable as that Of any sphere in life.
Third, this movement means CO.
operation as against competition. 1t is
in this principle of socialism that the
order has its strongest foundation.
They are pledged to cooperate with
each other in the production of eco
nomic goods, and not only so, but to
cooperate in the distribution of these
goods
Fourth, the organization means
brotherh God. 1t is a benevolent and
fraterDal order, with principles of love
and fraternity wide as the world. uni

Giles might extend to all other branches
