Over three hundred children have

the crumbs that fall from the rich

Farmers and laBol ers have dis
covered that there is too much of the
products of their labor in dollar and
not enough dollars in the products of
their labor, hence they are kicking
clear over the party traces and will
eventually kick the old corrupt parties
out of existence. County

When farmers work together to en-
force their own rights, they will get
them, but how in the name of common
sense do they expect to achieve that
end by electing to Office millionaire
bondholders is beyond our compre-

If all the reform factions in this
country were to unite, they could revo.
lutionize the whole world, but the fact
is, the leaders Of the two old parties
manage to keep them from doing this,
so that they, the masses, may the bet

If the government should take
charge of the railroads of the country,
freight rates would be at once estab.
lished which would not admit of trusts
and combinations. One man could
get car of goods handled just as
cheaply as another it would be i'm
possible to get a special rate. In
other words, the railroads would be
conducted on the same principle that
Qostoffces are-without profit to the
government and strictly in the inter
est of the people.-Antbony Repu5E-

There's going to bea great big exit
one Of these days-a general exodus.
Poverty must go, millionairism must
go, boodleism must go, the national
banks must go, monoPolies, trusts and
combines must go-in fact the people
are getting to go it on their own hook.

The Farmers Alliance, of Kansas,
which, by the way, has become an
organization of great strength, has,
through its president, proposed series
of questions to Mr.. Ingalls,, stating at
the same time that the support of the
Alliance for him for United States
Senator depends upon whether he an
swers these questions satisfactorily.
Thus far Mr.. Ingalls, has not answered,
but it is safe to assert that he will do
so, and in such manner, too, that the
Alliance will be none the wiser. Mr..
Ingalls, is a past master in the art of
beating his satanic majesty around the
stump, and he is now evidently doing
good deal of thinking before com
mitting himself to paper-7uskaloosa

is not uncertain in its faith. It re-
fers to the time between 1864 and
1868:
When we passed through period
of prosperity nevec before known in
this or any other country. Money
was plenty, wages were high and
everybody was happy. AS a very
forcible writer expresses it, "huts
became houses, houses became palaces,
tatters became garments, garments
became robes, and for the first time
in the history of the world the poor
tasted the luxur1es OF wealth" Is
there any laboring man who can con-
denim us for desiring this prosperity
again =? The abolition of the national
bank system, and the payment of the
national debt will bring back to the
people again the good times from ga
to 68. Do you want it? If so, vote
for no man for Congress or State leg
islature who will not advocate it.
