ALLIANCE MATTERS

of State Lecturer j. Brad Beverly, OF
Virginia, from the work he has been so
ably performing in his State. The CIV.
lone which swept through Kentucky
and West Virginia recently rounded
up In Fauquier county, damaging Mr.
Beverly and his neighbors very mate
rally. That gentleman lost every
thing planted, and the hail DESTROYED
his permanent grass. His presence
is required at home to save everything
possible from the wreck of his farm
and timber. hence his temporary
withdrawal from the work. Fortu-
natly no lives were lost. The sufferers
were in large part members Of the
order in the entire route of the
storm.
The Post, Washington, D. c., says:
In the house represe ntative Dockerv,
of Missouri, offered for reference
resolution calling on the Secretary of
the Treasury for information as to
why the 6.O74.538 trade dollars held
in the Treasury as assets have not
been coined into standard silver dol
lars, as required by the law for the
retirement of the trade dollar.
There is $67, 265, 1928 in gold bullion
in the treasury also. why is that not
coined into money? What is free
coinage. anyhow?
The Ruralist Huron) finds human
nature much the same IN South
Dakota as elsewhere
It is the most astounding impud-
ence Of the age that such body Of
men as the farmers and laborers of
the United State should presume to
have any independence worth making
a fuss about. If this thing goes
much further, there will have to be
some measures taken 10 make them
know their places. So long as they
vote q machine-made ticket, they
will have to be taught to know their
masters.
The Ruralist also says:
From the Congressional Record we
find that Major Pickler.in his remarks
ON the tariff bill interjected ringing
plea for the sub treasury bill. If the
Major had added, And now Mr..
Speaker, until Congress will give heed
to this cry of the farmers for relief, I
shall vote No! on every financial
MEASURE he would be the most pop.
ular man in South Dakota.
The grand army of Alliance men
is moving it's forces steandily on to
victory. The force of this powerful
organization Of the toiling masses is
being felt all over the country, and it
will be but a ,feH>years until they
will haye-Fsdeemed Our country from
the tyranical power of money sharks
and thieves who had been running
the government, and robbing the
entire agricultural interest Of it's just
profits.
The success Of the Farmers al
ance mesns the emancipation Of the
farmers and laborer's wives, daugh-
tiers, and mothers from the isolated
slavery that now envirous them. No
intelligent people have ever been
ensalved, no ignorant people have
been found in any other condition
than slavery. The great trouble with
the farmers is they cultivate their
muscle too much and their brains
too little.
The professional politicians would
give good deal just now to know
lust how long this Farmers Alliance
movement is going to last, and just
to what extent it's members will hold
together in the election this fall.
The farmers Of Central North
Carolina will hold grand rally and

least 10000 farmers will be present.
