the evils of class legislation and still
be SO kind as to keep the same bood-
lers in office.-The Patrick Henry.
There is little doubt that the union
of the Farmers Alliance and Knights
of Labor has produceda profoundim
preston in the political world. There
is no more significant fact in the his
tory of the last twenty years. Let
them remain true to their purpose, and
honest and earnest in the pursuit OF
their aims, and a better day will soon
dawn upon our land.-Pacific Union
The Alliance is called a secret poll
teal party. We will tell you the diff
ference between it and the old parties
the leaders have the secret meetings
and put up the jobs on the people; in
the Alliance the people have the Sc
crets and put up the jobs on the poll
ticians. In one the wire-wOrkers have
the party secrets in the other
party secrets are in the hands of
the people. Which system is the
safest for the people? Which one do
you like the best 1.-The Alliance.
By the new law silver is made
commodity like potatoes. 1t is
bought like any merchandise by the
government for coinage and at such
a price as the secretary sees fit to give.
The government does not decker in
gold in this manner. 1t allows any
one to take it to the mint to have it
coined. Until 1873 the same privilege
was granted to silver. Why not
restore this right? The government
has properly no more right to pur-
chase silver than it has gold. A new
bill should be introduced to remone-
tie silver.-Aberdeen News.
The sublimity OF impudence is
reached when lawyer, denounce the
Alliance movement as being in the
interests of class legislation. Law
yers constitute one-tenth of one per
cent of our population, and yet they
fill nine-tenths of the legislative,
three-fourths of the executive, and all
the judicial Offices of the country.
Class legislation indeed Mead Coun-

With $4,000, 900 acres of our land,
and our largest Touring mills in her
possession, what is there to hinder
England from raising her own wheat
and grinding her own -four in the
very face and eyes of the farmer, then
shipping it to England in English
vessels, thus cutting off one of our
best foreign markets for wheat :?
!, That's protection.-The Patrick
Henry.
Just why any farmer is so blind to
! his own just claims for an equal
: chance to live is often puzzle. Does
t he not know when the legal money OF
the nation has been reduced in guam
, tity, that interest is high, corn and
J. wheat cheap? The owners of gold
: now have, under the late Sherman
silver Jill, complete control 81 the
legal money Of the country. Have
3 they any mercy? Has satan I'm
