THEY KEEP AT IT.

A number Of our exchanges continue
to misrepresent DR.. Macune and others
on the tariff issue. DR.. Macune is cor
rect, and every one who is not chuck
full of political claptrap knows that he
is. The tariff is not and should not be
a leading issue before the American
people at this time. The tax on many
necessities is too high, the infant in
dustries" don't need the protection
that many claim. The tariff seriously
interferes with our commercial rela-
tiOns with most foreign countries. The
Alliance has declared that it should be
reduced and the abuses reformed. Al
liancemen of both parties agree on
this. But the people of this great
country shall not run another of those
shamefully disgraceful campaigns on
this issue. 1t has been q political
hobby Tor nearly a hundred years.
This is the nineteenth century. Our
people are slowly opening their eyes,
though you have to knock some of
their brains out before they will do it
Manufactured goods are getting
lower every year with possibly a few
exceptions. The wholesale price of all
manufactured goods is very low at,the
factories, though in most cases high
when we consider the price of the raw
material. Pretty good profits T made
by the jobbers, the wholesale dealers
and then the retail dealers make a good
TONG of it. The railroads make their
share, too.
The only true solution of the matter
is, that we are in the midst of a fearful
financial famine. The PharOh shy
locks have gathered up our earnings
quietly and a way to regain III indie
pendence is the main issue. Both po-
litical parties fear those shyIOcks. They
hesitate to rebel against their masters.
1t is small fox, but cunning and must be
dealt with firmly. The financial ques-
ton is an elephant, but we must kill
it. While we are killing it, the little
vampires" should get a blow now
and then.

ness of the country, and that will
place it under the control of the peo-
pie. is what must be had before we
can hope for relief and general pros
perity. The same paper seems to think
also that the mortgaged indebtedness
of the farmers should give them no
serious concern, and gives the amount
that is held under mortgages in the
city of Chicago, and says it creates no
alarm, certainly not. Why should it,
when the Tribune admits that the
property mortgaged in the city, by it's
constantly increasing value will al
ways keep ahead of the mortgage and
accruing interest Is this true of
farm property? 1t is we'll known that
farm lands have Deprecated in value
within the past ten years, from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. Politi-
ticians and tools Of the MOI ey power
may twist and comfort it as they may,
but the wicked financial conspiracy
which has been deliberately at work
for a quarter of a century to enrich
the few at the expense of the many
must and will be broken up.
The Alliance makes this the supreme
issue before the American people, and
will allow nothing to OvershadOw it.

EXPOSITION AND STATE FAIR

The Exposition has closed another
successful week. The State Fair came
in for it's share last week. The colored
people now have their exhibit in place.
Everything is running smoothly.
Eight thousand people e in the
grounds one day last week. The at
tendance is good every day, Among
the recent exhibits entered is that of
the Bessemer City Iron and Mining
Company. 1t is creditable to them and
to the South. Up to this time the
visitors have been mostly home people,
but at this time hundreds of people
from outside of State are coming in.
They are well pleased and surprised at
the extent and value of the Exposition.
1t is indeed wonderful.

1t will be remembered that just be.
fore the Ocala meeting last year. a dis.
patch was sent from Washington to
certain Democratic papers in the
South to the effect that President Polk
had written to a number of leading
Republican Alliancemen in Kansas to
advocate and support J. j. In@al,s for
reelection to the United States Senate
Of cOurse this was done to prejudice
the Southern delegation to Oca}a to
vote against and defeat President
Polk. Now the same crowd are play
ing the old soldier racket" for the
same purpose. They hope to arouse
the Northern ex-solGier8 by the vile
SANDER that he was cruel to Union
prisoners during the war, and by the
equally base and untruthful sIa.Jer
that he apol0gized in his species in
Kansas for volunteering in the South
ern army, they hope to create p.ejU-
dice against him in the South. and
thus defeat him at indianapolis.
But we wish to say, for the iniyrma
ton of these slanderers and enemies
of President Polk, that he is giving
himself no concern whatever about
his reelection, and is doing just as he
did prior to the meeting at St. Louis
and Ocala-leaving the matter en-
tirely and absolutely in the hands Of
the Supreme Council.
You may rest easy, gentlemen. If
he is again reelected, it will be with
out his seeking. In other words, he is
carrying out in good faith the princi-
pies of the Alliance. And the Supreme
Council will act on it's own Judgment
in the matter, regardless of what you
may desire or say about it, and Presi,
dent Polk will cheerfully acquiesce in
it's decision and choice.

ON WITH EXTRAVAGANCE.

The farmers of the Northwestern
States can't be lazy, for they annually
produce all the grain and stock they
a sell, and then can't get cost for the
grain. They T in a desperate con-
dition financially. Their farms are
rapidly passing into the hands of caPf
talists foreign and domestic, railroad
and elevator combinations. But the
towns and cities still go on with their
extravaganza. ST. Louis has just de-
clded to build a boulevard 200 feet
wide. to cost $40, 900, 900.
This may be right, but it is not
likely. 1t will be about as much value
to the State of missouri and the coun-
try as a chip from the frozen ear of a
Polar bear. But the farmers have to
foot the bill. They have furnished the
means to build and maintain great
cities like ST. Louis; in fact, all towns
and now they are to be drawn on to
build millions of dollars worth OF
things that the cities can do without.
Reform! Reform!

WHAT 1T IS.

The Sub-Treasury plan is to give the
people an Op~pOrtunit ' to borrow money
from the government on land and non
perishable farm products at 2 per cent.
interest, says the Farmers Advocate.
The opponents of the plan claim that
it is designed to benefit only the farm
ers, therefore it is class legislation. Do
not the farmers sustain the govern
ment? Is not agriculture regarded as
the basis of all wealth? If the farmers
of this country would refuse to plant a
crop for year, the most fertile and
magnificent sections would go to ruin.
Our cities -rivaling in excellence and
beauty those Of any country-would
become barren waste places, and yet it
is claimed that a plan to put agricul-
ture on a par with other industries is
unjust and wrong in principle. Talk
about class legislation when the major
ity of the laws passed by Congress are
for the benefit of certain classes! Is it
not time that agriculture should re
ceive proper recognition by the gov
eminent? Through the operations of a
Sub-Treasury plan money would be
issued direct to the people and thus
they would avoid the outrageous rates
fof interest that are now charged.

THE REAL TROUBLE.

The Chicago Tribune, censures Bro.
A. E Cole, President of the Michigan
State Alliance. for telling some plain
and wholesome truths in his late an
nual message, in regard to the depres-
sion of agriculture, and it's causes.
That paper agrees with other gold
bug papers, in expressing surprise that
Bro. Cole and all the farmers are not
perfectly content with the abundant
crops which they have just harvested.
It seems to overlook the fact that we
have been blessed with several good
crops since the war, and that the
farmers + growing poorer every
year. Their products have made the
cities, towns, railroads, insurance COM
panies, banks, ETC., rich, and yet they
are on the down grade. They might
duplicate the present crop for ten
years to come, but spectators, under
our infamous financial system, would
reap, as they have done, all the profits.
Good crops, and even the m~uch-talked-
of increase of the currency, would be
of little advantage to the farmers so
long as that currency is in the hands
and under the control of soulless cor
porations and speculatoI s, who manip-
ulate it for the purpose of robbing la
Dor of its honest earnings. A change

which the currency of the country
will be sufficiently expaI ded to meet
