FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

AlIuANS6 MULES
"A farmer or workingman opposing
the peoples party is about as absurd as
a negro opposing the fifteenth amend
ment
Lots o. people gettin' on, but the
peoples party band wagon is big one.
Its reach" goes around the world and
puts the hind wheels along side the
fores West
The peoples party has got there"
in Maryland, Senator German has with
drawn his candidate for governor. And
the battle is now between the alliance
and the g. o. p. (which is grand old
party liars-Great West
$. O. DAVIS, state secretary of the
Texas alliance, writes that he sent out
since the Fort Worth meeting thirty
charters in one day. Better call an
anti-sub-treasury meeting in every state
il this is the effect-Economist
doctrines and principles, as
preached by agitators, are laughed at
by capitalists; there is but one thing
to make them tremble-the thought
that one day the workmen OF the world
will be uHited-Labor Advocate.
Hon. J. Fount Tillman, secretary
OF the executive board. has completed
arrangements by which indianapolis,
Ind, has been agreed upon as the place
of meeting of the next supreme council.
Full details will be made public next
week.-Economist
The man who will sell his vote or
in any way be Influenced by money to
betray his fellowmen in these trying
times, is no better than Judas Iscariot
and deserves no better fate. Watch
the boodlemen, and make of them out
casts on the face of the earth.-Non-
conformist
1t has been arranged that National
Secretary j. II. Turner will organize
the Delaware State Alliance, at Har-
rington, September 8. Washington and
Wyoming will probably be organized
as State Alliances before the conven-
ton of the grand council in November.
National Ecopomist.
Wall street says we don't want free
coinage of silver. Mr.. Harrison says
the same Mr.. Cleveland says ''mc
too" The republican party wants Mr..
Harrison for president The
democratic party wants Mr.. Mr.. Cleve-
land The laboring men will fight over
the two, but Wall street is satisfied
with either one.-National Reform.
After the election in Kansas last
fall the Louisville Courier-Journal
printed the headline. "A Democratic
Victory" Now the Courier-Journal is
quite certain that the peoples party is
a republican machine originated to de-
siroy the democratic party. 1t makes
all the difference in the world, you see,
where the peoples party is getting in
its work.
Organized society says to the poor
man: work or die" but feels under no
obligation to furnish work. If he tries
to obey the mandate work or die, and
goes about the country looking for a
job. he is called a tramp" arrested
and treated as a criminal If he does
not go, he is called a loafer, and treated
as a criminal, without visible means
of support Pittsburgh Kansan.
Our farmers should not fail to read
the Nebraska warehouse bill" 1t
is step in the direction of our
sub-treasury plan, the difference
being in the Nebraska scheme the
farmers pay from eight to ten per cent,
which goes into the pockets of the
money changer, the sub-treasury plan
reduces the interest tostwo per cent,
which goes to the general government,
and hence remains in the hands of the
people. Farmers. it will pay you to
post up on these matters-Sherman
County Farmer.
The plutocratic twins have, by the
tered their fire on the first plank of the
alliance platform-the sub-treasury-
and by ridicule, Misrepresentation and
downright lying. in fact every known
style of tactics except argument, are
seeking to prejudice the people against
it This proves two things: 1st Wall
street don't want it, therefore tits right;
I'd. what is detrimental to the interest
of Wall street is beneficial to the inter-
est of the people, therefore they do
want it. Stand by the sub-treasury.-
weekly Union.
The alliance sub-treasury plan
largely owes its popularity to the vim
dictive opposition which has been con-
Stantly waged against it by both old
parties. The horrible principles which
1t was said to contain, and the direful
results which were to follow its adop-
ton, were held up to view in the most
odious manner. In fact it was SO ex-
tensively advertised that everybody
was anxious to see it, with the natural
result that the farmers should favor the
plan, while the Spectators and nom
producers look upon it as the worse
thing that could happen to them.-Al-
lance Tribune.
Nothing exacts from a nation such
fearful and imperative rctribution as
q practical and continued indifference
TO injustice. Whether it be in the field
o. workshop in the north or in the
south, in the churches or in the schools,
in the haunts of pleasure or the marts
of commerce, everywhere and at all
times, it evokes a spirit and cultivates
n habit that sooner or later will creep
into all habitations firing with thoughts
of revenge all hearts that feel it, until
at last the foundations give way, the
temple falls and all are buried in one
common ruin. BE just and fear NOT"
are words we would do we'll to heed
Pacific Union Alliance.
I'm 1889 the New York exchange
statisticians published the wheat crop
at 523, OOO. 600 bushels The crop turned
out but 400. OO0. 900. In 1890 July 1O)
they published the crop as 4s5. OOO, 900
bushels. The yield was 500 O0O. 900.
This year they estimate 544. OOO. 600
and it will turn out about 475, OOD. OcO.
1t is by such exaggerated estimates as
these that the price is kept down. The
extraordinary demand for wheat this
year will be at least 100. 0oO 600 more
than last year. and the usual surplusagc
from previous crops is practically re-
duced to nothing. Only the premedi-
tated pounding of the bears will keep
wheat down this year.-Great West.
