have heard the voice of the people
and see that if they do not do some
thing, they will send men 10 fill their
places who will.
Yes, even United States Senators
are getting uneasy. We know of one
that waded down E street in terrible
rain to apologize.
The Alliance Montgomery, Aza): If
Alliance men will be controlled by
every statement that shall be made
to demoralize or confuse them, they
will never accomplish anything.
Think for yourself. Reason for your,
self. Watch as well as pray. If you
are uncertain about anything, and do
not know how to ascertain the fact,
rely upon a brother. Do not be mis-
led by outsiders.
This is certainly true. Newspapers
that defend banks and railroads and
party are full of advice, if you can
judge by the amount they are giving.
The Tennessee (KnonviUe) Watchma"
takes a good position: We notice
some of our exchanges are not In sym
pathy with the Farmers and Laborers'
Union. While they pretend to give
aid and encouragement to the organl-
zation they are continually inter- oct,
ing the "buts" and "ifs." Now,
gentlemen of the press, we want your
sympathy and co operation, but we
don't want it at the sacrifice of princi-
pie. We are not antagonizing any
Legitimate business where justice and
fair dealing is their motto.
Satan offered the Saviour advice,
favors, etc but there were plenty Of
"ifs" and "buts" in his conditions.
The Southern Alliance Farmer at
Zamta, Ga.): The sub-treasury plan
of the Alliance extends the helping
hand of the government to the whole
people; the national bank system con
fines its benefits to the privileged
classes in the great citiessand CONNER
cial centers. Our plan gives equal
rights to all and privileges to none
You are right, brother. This is
why the privileged classes kick so
hard when they think they will have
to let go their hold on the public
pap.
The Kansas (Searcy) Economist:
We would warn our friends against
selecting for Office men who have
neither said or done anything for
your cause. Men who are not afraid
to speak out and who use their means
for the good of the farmers are the
r. you should select for official
honors. They will not desert you or
your meetings a soon as elected.
The good feUoa0s who stand back
until the work is done are now anxious
to get in the Alliance and represent
US in Congress. Beware of them.
Republican newspapers throughout
the State appear to have taken up
arms against the Alliance. Their
method is the old, old one of bemean
ing and berating its leaders, and
Clover, than whom no better man
lives in the State of Kansas, is made
to bear the brunt. The Scribes and
Pharisees of old could not entangle
Him in His doctrine but they said of
Christ: "He is a pestilent fellow"
and "He stirreth up the people,"
Thus yer has it been. In the days

the lying thief.
The above from the Kansas Com
ma0ner shows how they are working in
Kansas. In North Carolina they
adopt the anne methods. If they can
throw discredit on those that are
working for you, then they can use
you again as in the past. They are
mistaken. If every officer in the ALI
ance was thrown in prison tomorrow,
others equally fearless would stand
up and fill their places.
