freak of Legislation, or was it trea-

A Ringing Letter From Tennessee.
DAISY, E. Tenn March Oath, 80.
Ed. GREAT WEST:
Ihave received two copies of your
great paper. am delighted with it,
because it has the right ring,-the
Alliance ring clear through it, and
don't belong to any man, men,
party, club, clique, class, or society,
but is the mouth piece OF every hon
est Alliance man in the United States.
Such a paper is God-send to all AL
lance men in the federal union. In
the Alliance cause every member
must have "backbone,'' if he has to
swallow an iron poker to make it !!
Your paper will always represent the
sentiments OF the people, as long as
you publish anything to advance the
cause OF the Alliance. The time has
come for a change, the people de-
mand it. Who should make the
change?-those who wilfully, know
ingly, and corruptly saddled all this
class legislation on the people of the
United States, Or those who oppose
it, and demand the repeal of all
class legislation, state and federal?
The people should study the question
in this light. Who is responsible for
all the financial woes, and money
distress that aflicts and curses our
people all over the union? The lead
ership of the republican party sad
died it on the people, and the leader
ship of the Cleveland democracy in
dorse every bit of it! Neither of the
two old parties is national. Both
are sectional, and live on sectional
prejudice, and war hate! The only
difference between the leadership of
both ia this:
The leadership of the republican
party is rotten with greed, and the
leadership of the cleveland democ-
racy is down sick with the office rot
There are exceptional cases in this
general rule. No hope for the people
in this. Our legislature, state and
national, is bought and sold by
British gold as you would buy and
sell sheep at the shambles. Dema-
gogues are the curse Of all republics
Like men of sense and honesty every
Alliance man must put his sentiment
in his ballot, and vote for what he
wants, and vote against what he
don't want. This is the last hope
and the only plan to save the wealth
producing and tax paying class ir
the United States, from this bono
holding swindle and national bank
fraud-which is the mother of all thu
combines and trusts, with all tn.
, social, financial, and political GUESSED
ness! Hence I contend that the tim
has come when every Alliance man i
the United States should go to worl
= and help organize in every state
new or third party. NJ
