aliGe tho strength and power Of our or
ganizatlon, and our sticking qualities"
"Tho Ignorance OF the masses" has flown
away, and with II the power OF dIctatlOn
and the ability 10 hoodWInk the "com-
mon people," who have become thor
oughly awakened 10 their own interests,
snd have standing political Organiza-
tlon Of their own, which has, In q few
abort months, practically destroyed the
political lntrigues Of the rlngsteB Of the
old parties, who tried by evory device 10
measure our strength before election.
But their political algebra contained no
rule by which they could arrive at that
unknown quantity" and as II Far eE'
ceeded their expectations and bids fair
10 sweep the political aeld In 1892, they
have decided 10 make their political or
ganlzatlon a permanent one and keep up
two years fight This will greatly aid
our cause II we will be constantly on the
lookout for their schemes. We can de-
tect and expose every attempt 10 break
our ranks, and at every assault from the
oppoaing ranks gain vantage ground, FOR
Justice and truth come uppermost In
every conflict with wrong. Every cause
that has for lts underlying principles
equity and Justice, gains much faster
while II has active opposition 20 contend
with. Ours is the grande8t cause that
this globe ever gave birth 10, because II
knows no country, no race, no sect, no
creed, and proclalms the universal broth
erhood Of man. There 10 no rivalry
within our ranks, but firm determine
tlon among all who labor 10 cooperate
and join forces 10 chain the lion Of tyran-
ny, to make Il possible for those who Ia
Dor to enjoy the full benefits thereof, and
10 make IL impossible for those who do
not labor TO enslsve their fellow men.
But this work ls only begun; we have
just aroused the enemy; they do not want
10 kill or lose "the goose that lays the
golden egg" therefore no stone will be
left unturned that may cause dlssension
Ia our order. No scheme too low or mean
for them TO adopt to destroy our forces
Therefore, however plausible anything
may sound that comes from them II should
be regarded as the advice Of a "false
frlopd" and remember that the angler
Axea his bait allurlngly 70 insure q bite,
Already the traitors in the camp acting
40 business agents have bSen detected In
sending TO Chicago for large orders Of
goods instead Of through the Alliance
Exchange, and are trying to pass mo-
tlons to saddle all the expense possible
upon the orders 20 which they belong,
such ~ expenses for fuel and use Of
country school houses that were not men
toned last year. This and much more ig
done TO deplete the treasury. We hope
that the brothers will take the consider
alton OF these legitimate expenses into
account and compare them with what
She results would.be II they allowed the
organization TO die. In the late cam
paign in Saline county the religious
racket was worked for all there waS In Il,
and DO il said to the credit Of all that
very little was accomplished. Il seems
chat political and religious prejudice
took their flight at the same time, for we
have learned that tho bosses would give
us anything and everythlpgw we wanted TO
Quarrel over II we would only leave A.
