tion, and we pledge ourselves to abiJe the
result, whether it be for or against u.s..
1t should be remembered that the Farm
ers Association is an organization separate
and distinct from the Farmers Alliance,
and tho latter must not be held responsible
for the acts and doings of the former.
While not a member Of the Farmers
Alliance, we are firm friend 70 the or
ganization, from the simple fact that we
know it has done and promises to continue
TO do great good, not only to the Farmers
but t) the general business Of the State AMI
country.
If the Alliance will continue in its pres
ent course, there is no estimating the amount
Of permanent good it will accomplish; but
wo predict, if it gets committed to the
muddy whirlpool Of politics, like politics in
q church, IL will soon be split up into fac
tions, its cohesive power destroyed and its
days Of existence numbered.
Its secret enemies will use the political
wedge to accomplish its ruin and we earn
es,ly warn it against following the lead of
| impetuous, indiscrect and over-zealous mem
| bers iu its own ranks. They are, perhaps,
honest, we'll meaning Alliance members, but
they are not safe leaders and may, uuinten,
tionally, do more harm than good.
Understand us, every good Alliance mem
Der must have his political opinions and
| preferences, and should exercise the right
to express and defend them boldly and con-
scientiously; We don't believe he can be a
good member if he does not but We can
see great danger to the peace, efficiency
and pcrmancncy of the organization if it i:
| committed to any political course Of action,
I (------ss..,fgte to ah~ -d-s~eAi into politic:
| oy faction OF ambitious leaders.
We regret that the manifesto is too length,
for publication in the TINES this week W,
may furnish it To our readers hereafter.
