is indeed the peoples hour. The hard
working producers Of this country
have for many years watched the mar
velous increase Of wealth In tho

tion Of the people constantly adding
30 their luxurious surroundings, while
all the time their own circumstances
have been narrowing, the pressure Of
hard times has filed their lives with
porplexity, and they have been
obliged to struggle to obtain even the
necessaries Of life. Thiscommon dis
tress has created common bond Of
sympathy, and the farmers and labor
ers have gone into their respective or
ganizOtions with the spirit and deter
mination Of the men of'76. Every.
where tho order is hailed with en-
thusiasm, and the Rraternal spirit
which is iostered is bringing new life,
new hope and courage to those who
were disheartened and despairing.
Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota and Ne
braska are rivaling Kansas in their
enthusiasm for the alliance A few
days since a sub-NlliNnco was organ
lied in far OF Washington A state
alliance was organized in Indiana,
April 26. New Jersey is falling rap
idly into line. MichigaA, Illinois and
Ohio are expected to organize state
alliances within the next few months.
There are already various other farm
or organizations, such as the grange
and open alliance in these states.
In North Carolina, Georgia and
Texas the Farmers Alliance is espec-
tally strong, and already the sectional
hate between the north and the south
which have so long been kept alive
by self-seeking politicians, are dying
out and better feeling is growing be-
tween the farmers Of the too long di-
vided sections.

man who is in ignorance OF the fact
that the mischevious manipulation OF
the nations finances is at the bottom
OF the declining prosperity OF the
masses Of the people Of America
Beyond question the money power
has for years dictated party policy
In the historic words Of Mr.. Buell.
they have mapped out theprogrammc
for both parties. Whatever may have
been the shifting Of party personel
when the republican party went out
OF power and the democratic party
went in, there was no change whatso-
ever in the financial policy Of the gov
ernment. The headquarters OF the
money power is in Wall street Wall
street men, moneyed men who have
cornered the luxuries of civilization
and the ease Of life, do not care one
iota which political party has the sem
blance Of power The essential thing
for them is to retain control Of both
parties, and this they do efectually
by fortifying themselves, not only by
bribery and ownership Of officials, but
also by their management Of gen
eral and popular politics, and this
they do by using the saloon element
and liquor dealer as the recruiting
and voting machine What is the
case in New York city to-day Ten
of the twenty-six members Of the
board Of aldermen are rumsellers,
These willing servants Of Wall street
are under the daily supervision OF
their masters. They dictate the state
politics. They elect their kind to the
legislature. Their influence reaches
on and out TO Che national congress
and the White house. 1t is matter
Of history that thesaloon is, more gon-
orally than any other place, chosen as
local headquarters for rendezvous and
caucus holding; especially was this
true in New York and other eastern
states during the last presidential
campaign. This having been true,
decent men, men who would gladly
give their voices and their votes for re-
form measures are practically driven
out Of politics; they have little to sNy
as to whom shall be put forward as
party candidates, and the sole part
which large numbers Of good citizens
have taken Of late years in political
campaigns has been to goto the polls
on election day and ratify the choice
Of the saloon caucus, back Of which
has stood as supreme dictator that
great fosterer and protector Of mo-
nopolies, Wall street. Not only do
the decent and respectable men of the
towns and cities absent themselves
from the caucus, but they also stay
away in large numbers from the polls.
In New York city alone it is estimat-
cd that there are 10000 men who
habitually abstain from voting; while

and paid by Wall street tools, float

and defeat all measures injurious to
their own business or TO the sch emos
Of tho great money power
The liquor monopoly is in a posi-
tion to hold the balance Of power and
assist Wall street in mapping out the
programme Of both tho great politi-
cal parties. Theliquor element is the
most efficient tool of the great ma
tional money power, and a blow at il
is every time a crippling measure to
the great slayer Of our nations pros
perity,
Intemperance is both an effect and
a cause Of poverty. The two evils are
introactivo. The money spent for
liquor woWld furnish families with the
necessaries and comforts Of life; while
on the other hand, the scarcity Of
money, which is the chief cause Of
unemployed and underpaid labor, is
responsible for the disCourapement
and deprivation which tempts men to
the use of stimulants and to the fre-
quenting Of saloons,
A vital matter to be taken into con-
sideration is the fact that money plays
30 important q part in American poll
tics that plutocrOcy must be shorn Of
its power before a substantial and
permanent victory over the saloon can
be gained The money power as a
corrupt manipulOtor Of party ma
chinery is absolute. Moreover, money
is a necessity for the legitimate edu-
cational purposes Of reform politi-
cal campaign. The people, those
whose interests are at stake, are poor
Long years Of Infamous Legislation
have reduced them to n condition Of
poverty which will not permit them to
contribute pennies, where Wall street
and tho liquor power can contribute
thousands Of dollars to carry on po-
litical work. The masses Of the peo-
pie can not afford to pay for litera-
ture or lecturers to bring their case
before the country.
The money power own the press
and the telegraph; they have the
daily papers and the swift service Of
electric power The people have now
and then a weekly paper, and even
these many Of the farmers of the west
are barely able to afford. The money
power will never permit their most
serviCeable tools, the saloons, to be
wiped out OF existence.
The shameful history of the prohi-
bition campaign in Pennsylvania, the
reversal in Rhode Island, and the re-
suit of other efforts, all have shown
the power OF money to defeat the
temperance forces. Moneyed monop-
olies must hold, as they value their
own existence, to the saloon resorts.

"TRE EMPIRE us COVE"


When the tariff bill was rushed through
the house in two hours. much less time
than it would have taken the clerk to
read it, on the vote offs falsely counted
quorum, and without the slightest oppor-
tunity for examination or debate, Mr..
Vaux of PENNSYLVANIA arose in his place,
and briefly but gravely announced: THE
empire has come" and though perhaps
the statement was exaggerated, and no
outward aud visible signs Of the empire
are apparent 10 the shape Of a gorgeous
sristocracy and a Rittering court, yet the
iull effects of even n tYrannical class gov
rnmen are upon US. The power of the
people has substantially vanished from
the land, says the Omaha Herald, and in
lieu thereof we are ruled by a limited
number of persons. only bounded to-
gether by the cohesive power Of public
plumber, Who are bent Upon their own az
grandizemenL. no matter at what cost Of
suffering to the peoDle at large.
The effect is worse than that Of an ae-
k~nowledged monarchy, which has and ad-
mits certain responsibilities, and some
times condescends 20 do justice as a mat
ter OF ~expediency. But our ruling Glasses
have no such conscientious scruples, no
such compunctious visitinRs. They are
greedy for money, which is the source Of
power, and they madiy grasp at power be-
cause it gives them money. The people
OF the nation are divided into Two classes,
those who profit by corruption and those
who suffer from it, and the latter class
has 100 times the numerical strength Of
the former aud yet they submit. Not
quietly. to be sure. for their murmurings
are heard above the din Of the battle for
life which goes on increasingly. But the
heartless and s~oulless money power pays
no heed to their complainings, except per
haps to give them a stone when they
elamor for bread, but go on weaving fresh
webs % entrap the unwary, and add to
their unholy store from the hard earnings
OF the poor. Fraud sits enthroned in our
high places. and arrogant corruption rules
10 our councils.
The masses are dormant, although
they know that the remedy lies in their
own hands, and perhaps the very con
sciousDess Of their power renders them
more long suffering. Bat the time will
cone and il now rapidly approaching
when patience viii cease to be a VII tue.
When the people will arise in their might
and by the simple assertion Of their con
stitutional rights will cast out the unjust
servants; and then the empire of fraud
and corruption will vanish more quickly
than it came, The power of the law
protected and tariff fattened classes will
be overthrow and the masses will refuse
longer to be pilfered and bled.
