1t cannot be expected that most of
the present members Of congress shall
favor bill which, while it will bene
fit their constituent does not suit the
men who they serve Southern AlI5-
ance Farmer.
The Alliance will do you good; it
will do your children and your coun-
try good, then how can you afford to
let others do all the work without
sven your presence there to cheer and
encourage the workers ?-Flor5dG

An exchange by way of consola-
ton tells the farmers that their con-
dition is not what it will be in the
future" This is consoling. 1t would
be hard on the Kansas farmer if he
had to keep warm in the future by
burning his own corn Wilmington
Star.
The Missouri anti trust law has been
declared unconstitutional. This is
no more than might have been eX
pected. All laws enacted for the
benefit of the peo pie, and in any way
conflicting with the interests of mo-
nopohsts will likely meet a similar
fate until the people by their ballots
declare Doodle legislatures and courts
unconstitutional.-ErcbGmge.
The outside men and outside press
who are so anxious to advise the ALI
ance, are generally trying to work
some scheme of their own. While
thinking of their advice, inquire some
what into their motives. While think
ing of their advice and seeking for
their motive, don't forget that old
story OF the mon 1ey, the cat and the
phestnuts.-.Southsr1l 4U5Gaac6 Farmer.
Party Editor to Party Boss.-..Last

times was caused by poor Gro 2s and a

good and times are worse than ever;
what shall tell them now? Party

forget that the people are fools. -

Educate the masses Teach men to
use their best Judgment. Teach
them 20 make as few mistakes as
possible. Teach them to keep down
all wrangling within their ranks.
Teach them to work together in har-
mony. Teach them to be patient and
not expect too much in too short a
time. Teach them that large bodies
move slowly, and that it takes time to
bring about great reforms CGnar

In the United States 3 per cent.
of the population, by the liberal use
of false statements, trickery, chican-
cry, thieving and villainous class
Legislation, and by bribery of legis'a-
tors, governors and judges, have al
ready concentrated 85 per cent. of the
wealth Of the country in their hands,
and it is estimated by competent
statisticians that the remaining IS
per cent. will surely follow within
five years.-National Var.
Those people who find fault With
the Alliance plan for Sub Treasures,
and are profuse in their abuse and |
ridieUle of it never offer anything in !
its stead. They simply mean they do |
not fnd fault with the plan as plan, |
but oppose it because it is the plan
suggested and adopted by Alliance.
They would oppose anything on earth
that would inure to the benefit of the |
farmers, and take them out of the
hands Of spectators and monopolists. |

Rome lost her republic and the |
people their liberty, when per cent.
of her population, by treachery, trick
cry and crime, succeeded in grasping
95 per cent. Of the wealth Of the peo-
people. This was accomplished by
means of corporations. With these
villainous legal fctions as his prede-
cessors and coadiutors, it became easy
for Caesar to trample upon the rights
and liberties of the common people
and force monarchy, despotism and
ruin upon the citizens of Rome and
the world-NatioaaL T1;eD.
The government loaned the Pacific
railroads $l3O,OOO,OOO on which it
does not collect interest, and gave
en- $5O,0OO,O worth of lands it
loans the national banks S6O,OOO,OOO
without interest, but great many
people seem to think it unreasonable
to loan she People-the men who
really support the government
money at one or two per cent. on real
estate. Most of our legislators and
