FARMERS ALLIANCE.
A SELECTION.

Well. J2hn, the elec ion is over,
And things are quiet once more
LET'S sit down and talk it over
while the children play on the floor.
You know in the days of Abe Lincoln
There was just such tumult and strife,
But then the negro was in bondage
Their freedom cost many life.
But, now, We have given them freedom,
Gwen them vote at the polls
Now, that they can choose their own masters
shylock is Offering them old
Why, for oigIr and a rite in a carri age,
They voc 'ganst the freedom we gave,
Vote for men who despise and scorn them,
who think them not worthy grave.
Do you reckon they'll ever wake mp, Johni
Do you think they ever will see
That the rich are grinding them closer,
And making them far from free?
just think of their poor old shantiea
L ting in the storm and cold.
While the men they put In to Office
Are wasting their ill-gotten gold
It's not only the negro, but the white man
Poor folk like you and l.
VINO they are grinding now harder and
harder,
To make slaves of US they try:
But taey we turned the crank too often,
THY gave Us the wrong card;
When they demonetiz d our silver
Ihey were pressing little TOO hard.
Then cry went up from shore to shore,
From the uf to tue northern lake.
And raised such tumult old parties were
scared,
And caused their bold lea ers to qyake.
But we mus. still keep on working
And not settle back in the mire
We must Sill keep busy stirring
And adding more fuel to the fire
With the old ''soreheads" and the s.Billv
goats"
And the calamity shrieklng crew,
We will once more lin our freedom
And win the fight in 'yl
But we must not go to sleep, John,
And leave them in their sin,
To hatch up some devilish plot
In order to once more win

Partinant Questions.


The Newton Qowa) Herald has the
audacity to PROFOUND the following per-
tinent questions to the old parties:
L Why has labor been depreciating
for the last twenty years? 2. Why has
the premium on bonds gone up and up,
until they are 80 per cent above par?
8. Why has the purchasing power Of
money increased? T. Why has your
ability to pay mortgages and debts de-
creased? 5. Why has the great bulk of
wealth in our country been concen-
trated in the hands of the few? g. Why
is our country filed with paupers while
millionaires own the wealth? z. Why
has the average yield of farm land
shrunk from SIS per acre, as 1t was eight
years ago, to So 70? 8. Why does it pay
better for moneyed men to speculate
with their means than it does to in
vest in honorable, industrious enter
prises? Q. Why is it that TWENTY-FIVE
years ago the farmers owned one half
of the entire wealth of the country,
while to-day they own less than 20 per
cent? 10. Why have 1,0O0-acre farms
increased 500 per cent during the last
twenty-five years? IL Why have the
bondholders been given special privi-
leges, not granted to bayonet holdsrss
IL. Why is 1t the drones the money
changers, the board Of trade gamblers.
live IN affiuence, dress in broadcloth
and gloat over their wealth, while the
honest industrious toilers dress in rags
and are the paupers OF the country?
We say the answer to these twelve
questions is: Class legislation and con-
traction of the currency. We defy any
old party machine to successfully con-
tradict it

If the Gazette thinks for a moment
that the above proposition will be dis
puted by the calamity press, its anxiety
may as we'll be relieved at once. Obser-
vation teaches that in proportion as
railroad stocks advance. in the same
ratio do farm products go down. Farm
ers have taken great pride in seeing
their securities, bonds, etc, selling at
dazzling premiums, but now they are
taking a notion into their heads to de-
clare few dividends on their own in

Usury.


Interest is usury.
Usury is robbery.
Usury pays no taxes
Usury possesses no soul
Usury never works
Usury produces nothing.
Usury consumes every thing.
Usury pays no doctor bills
Usury never goes on the battle field.
Usury lives in fine houses
Usury wears fine clothes
Usury concentrates wealth.
Usury undermines free government
Usury mocks at liberty.
Usury makes the rich richer.
Usury makes the poor poorer.
Usury mocks God, wrecks manhood,
destroys womanhood, stiles childhood
