them to us, and as one has said they
have too "much experience. Both
of the great political parties have
shown that they care more for the
''loaves an fishes" than for their con
stituents, and neither can be relied on
at this time, and each is jealous OF
the other-that is the politicians.
Wherever either of them are in pow
er, the Alliance men in that party
should attend the primary meetings
and conventions and have suitable
men nominated this year for all of
fees who are not offensive to the op
posite party, and who will relieve the
masses.
A very intelligent and fair minded
member of the party in his county
which is greatly in the minority, said
to the writer recently: eff the oppO
site party will bring out new men,
such as we can trust of the primary
class, who have no unfavorable re-
cord, we will vote for them, but if
they bring out old stagers we will not.
And this is the feeling everywhere

just now if Alliance men expect re-

in circulation and other good reasons
started the Greenbackers a few
years ago, but the old parties killed
off the new party by combined eff

members in Congress at one time and
after the old parties succeeded they
made matters worse than they were
before. And if the writer is not mis-
taken there was a contest over fifty
years ago over coin and paper money,
or a Sub Treasury or paper currency.
The coin advocates triumphed, and
times have gradually grown worse

ABROTHER GIVES US ALL SOME
GOOD ADVICE.
M G. GREGORY.

Mr. EDITOR: The Farmers ALI
aRce nas now reached a critical point
in it's career. A large per cent. of it's
members are so carried away with en-
thusiasm and political ambition that
they are liable to speak and act in
ways that are not in harmony with
our principles. It certainly is not
best for us to be carried away with
such ideas. Our government has been
one of principle since its formation
and if we would take hand in it we
must do so with the determination to
improve and not to degrade it. | am
satisfied that farmers as a class have
taken too little interest in political
affairs in the past. And that such
neglect has been the cause of the
present oppression of the agricultural
interests, but we must remember that
undue enthusiasm has given us of the
South trouble in times past and has
caused this very neglect. In the days
of reconstruction, if we had looked
more closely to our interest as class
and not been completely carried away
with the idea of social equality, we
would not have allowed ourselves to
have been trodden down by class leg
islation. Now, Mr.. Editor, our prin
ciples are he very best, and the best
men of our country are in harmony
with them, and were they carried out
onr best interests, both as a class and
as a nation, would be fully met. This
being true. let US strive 70 install con
fdence in the hearts of others and
show to the world our determination
to exact justice and equity and moth,
ing more. Now this may strike some
of your readers as uncalled for, but |
can assure you that we have members
and leading ones at that who seem to
utterly disregard the principles of
good government, and think the ALI
ance was founded simply to scare the
world into righteousness. would
that even our popular organ could
view these things in a more conserva-
tive light. | would not detract an
iota from the bright anticipatioos of
any member of our order, but would
have them base their hopes on their
determination to stand by truth and
principle.
God bless the Farmers Alliance
and may He so guard her principles
that when our children have become
men and women they may point to 1t
as the salvation of our common coun-
try. Yours fraternally,

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

OLIN, N. G.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Will the present
national and State legislators or other
real politicians give the laboring
masses the necessary relief asked for
in the six demands made by the
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America even if they sign
the cards now being presented to
them? Some few may but a man
that will break verbal promise will
be very apt to find some way to evade
written one. Absence on account
OF sickre ess when the tug Of u as
comes or when the votes are counted
or some other excuse will doubtless be
rendered as a reason why many of
them will fail to carry out their pledges.
Before election politicians are always
the servants of the dear people, but
after they are elected to Office they
are suddenly transformed in TO masters.
They always appear to desire instruc.
tion before elected, but afterwards s
they do the instructing especially if
free passes on railroads or other
small favors are received by them
from corporate bodies, or if lobbyists
are on hand during the sitting of the
various legislative bodies and dis
tribute the Doodle freely. It takes
more nerve than the average politician
can command to do justly to constitu-
ents when future rewards and present
comforts stand between himself and
duty. In fact there has been but lit
tie legislation had since the war that
has not been carried by undue and
unfair means. This is easily proven
by referring to the many unrighteous
laws that have been enacted by Con
gress and every State legislature since
the war closed-laws that have vastly
increased the wealth of the few and
the poverty of the many and multi
pied the cooperative bodies without
number which are now depressing
the people enormously. Many of those
oppressive laws must be repealed and
others more just enacted in their

clans and attorneys who have been

tired of representatives who misrep
resent US, tired of servants who do
not serve both in the House of Lords,

the House of Representatives. Be it
ResoZved, by the Forsyth County
Convention of the Farmers Alliance,
That we will support no man at the
ballot. blk for the Legislature who will
not pledge himself to make every
honest effort to elect Senator who
will heed the demands of the workir g
people of this country.
Resolved, by the County Alliance of
Forsyth, that the expenditure of $3.50
for picture of a court house, how
ever praiseworthy as work of art,
Is to say the least extravagant and an
utterly unjustifable waste of the peo-
pies money. Our motto is millions
for the good of the people, but not a
cent for the fine arts just now.

A Rattling Foot Ball Game Be-
tween Colleges.

tween Colleges.
The foot ball game at the Minneapolis
base ball park yesterday between the
State U niversity and Wisconsin College
elevens attracted several hundred en-
thusiastic people. including large
number of ladies. The weather was ex-
cellent for the sport, but the grounds
were in bad condition. The uniyer-
lslty boys won the game with ease by a
score of 63 to y. The visitors, though
over thirty pounds heavier than their
opponents, lacked in strength and in
tricate "pOints of game" They dis
played very poor judgment, with the
exception OF Kerr, in handling the ball
when 1t was in their possession. The
University lads played more in har-
lmOny, so to speak, by continually work
ing to gain ground and not individual
.hOnors. as several of their opponents
apparently did. The game was charac-
teriZed with considerable rOughness and
perhaps little brutality, as the tack
ling work of both sides was a trifie Sc
we're, and men in jeopardy were not re-
leased as soon as they might have been.
1he visitors, OF course, got the worst Of

the game terminated they haa

the ball. 1t was but short time, how
ever, before the ball was uncomforta-
bly, close to Wisconsin'S goal, and
touch down was secured. This time
Belden twisted his foot just right and
kicked goal. At the end of the first
half the score stood 20 to in favor of
the university team. When play was
resumed the visitors made an unsuc-
cessful effort to get the ball into foreign
territory. The ball seemed inspired. as
1t were, and kept continually edging
slowly but surely toward the visitors
goal. In the last half the university
boys had 43 points, including neat
drop-kicked goal. Mr.. Hull, the old
