THE ALLIANCE

THE ALLIANCE
The Farmers Union: Although the
different mercantile agencies report
prosperous times the facts warrant that
statement only so far as it relates to
coupon clippers and loan brokers
From all over the land comes the re-
ports OF failures and In many In
stances even banks are included
! The Southern Mercury; To demand
OF q member of the Farmers Alliance
that he renounee the principles OF the
organization TO which hN has volun-
tarily attached himself before he will
be recognized by the bosses of any
political party. is an insult TO his man
hood Such q demand never emanated
from q Democrat nor was submitted
to by one worthy OF the name OF 3
] freeman
! The Virginia Alliance News: A half
dozen men have been running political
conventions and debating to the peo-
pie whom they should vote for In the
past and now when the people see fit
to name their own candidates. these
self constituted leaders get way up in
/ G.. and say that it is preposterous for
several hundred voters TO dictate to
the majority. Obi come OF and be
consistent
Pioneer Exponent: The Alliance
and the people have everything to
gain and nothing TO lose by u full. fair
and honest investigation of the Ocala
demands in broad open daylight with
open doors and it courts such an in
vestigatiOn. The Alliance supporters
in Comanche county have done more
In one month to promo full fair and
/ free discussion than the so-called
democracy ever did.
! The Iowa Tribune: An idea of the
small amount of money really in act
/ I've circulation among the people may
/ be gathered. when it is known that
the amount of standard silver dollars
outside of the treasury Oct l was
/ $50. "a. 175 subsidiary silver. S59. 664.
! 446; total, silver in circulation, GIG.
/ S5S. 62l, less than 81 per capita
/ When it is considered how large per-
/ centage of the daily transactions of the
people are conducted with silver coin
/ the real state of the money famine
will be understood.
The Montezuma Record; Don't be
| caught Dy the State bank" fraud pro-
posed by eminent Democratic states
men and pretended friendly papers.
Our money must be full legal tender
government money. The national
/ bank system Is far preferable TO State
4 bank frauds. The state bank cry is a
aide issue to catch the Alliance with
and thus enable the money power to
keep its death hold on the people. 1t
is such palpable fraud that we think
it will not deceive many. but its iuten-
/ ton is to deceive and rob the people. +
! The Peninsula Farmer: There is
/ now an open field in the cause OF true
/ journalism for a rival to the Associated
/ Pr, So in the matter OF news dispatches
It Is not only untru his about the ALI
ance that is circulated by the associa-
/ ton. but vast mass of sensationalism
and manufactured incidents. which are
/ pure romance and never happened.
are palmed of upon the public. Our
/ big daiiies had better publish with
/ less pages and more truth in their
makeup or there will come journal
/ istic cyclone one of these days and
. paralyzers OF truth will get sent to
/ kingdom come by a popular revolt
against fiction for fact in their news
papers IAN people can't be fooled
all the time"
The Alliance Vindicator: In spite
OF the opposition 10 our order and
( the war upon its officers by the politi-
clans and the plutocratic press, the
Alliance still lives. aud moves, and
grows and is destined to make the
world feel the weight OF its mighty
tread. If one were to believe what he
reads from the partisan press he
would think the Alliance had fallen to
/ pieces, by reason OF the heavy weights
about its neck, and the corrupt de-
signing, thieving, scheming. unpriu-
cipled demagogic officers at its head
We hear them say the sub treasury
scheme is dead, the Alliance had to
drop it The facts are: Every state
Alliance that has convened this fall
has adopted it with practically a
unanimous vote They say the officers
are corrupt but the Alliance don't be-
lieve There has not been a resolu-
ton passed in any state Alliance con-
demning any officer whom they have
pointed out; but the very men they
Landed TO the skies have been con-
demned as unworthy OF our trust and
confidence.
