The Alliance Announces It's Plans
and Calls for Funds.
A National ''Propaganda Committee"
And an Army Of Lecturers"
Are Ready for tho Fray.

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Especial. THE
Farmers Alliance is beginning early its
campaign. A Campaign of education''
1t is called, and the National Campaign
Committee goes by the name of the
Propaganda Fund Committee" The
first appeal for campaign funds has Just
been issued and the work is to he prose
cuted vigorously all along the line. The
plan of campaign has been carefully and
Systematically laid out, and with the
organization machinery at command it
will will 1tnndonbtsdly nd make itself felt Whsr;;
portion Of the plan which is made public
provides for the utilization of the great
lecture system of the Alliance throughout
the country, under control of the Nat on
al Committee at Washington.
The Alliance has regularly appointed
National, State, District and County
lecturers, whose duty it is to preach
Alliance doctrines to the members. More
OF these lecturers arc to be appointed, and
they will talk pcrsistently from ono end
of the country to the other. They will
talk to outsiders as well as members, and
such missionary urs rs that which Jerry
Simpson is making will be made by other
prominent leaders. The Alliance plan of
political salvation will he preached in the
cities as well as in the country, and every
effort will be made to popularizc the
Alliance doctrines To make sure that
only the pure doctrine is taught skeleton
lectures will be sent out periodically from
Washington to all authorized speakers,
and register will be kept there of the
army of takers and the work they arc
doing. Thus the national organ Of the
Alliance, the Keonomist, says of it:
"Jay Gould, Mr.. Brice, Mr.. Quay, OF
any other capitalist or politician, will
find the Propaganda Fund Committc,
ready to accept donations from them and
use the money where it will do the most
good in the cause of reform, and should
Mr.. Stanford desire to contribute some
railroad money to assist the farmers he
will have splendid chance to do so.
Some of the extremely wealthy may need
a depository for conscience money! and
they will find this good place.
''The propaganda fund is not estab
lished to collect money to be used for
corrupt campaign methods. The money
will be used to educate the masses in tho
principles of the Farmers Alliance and
TO bring about better understanding
between the good, the true, and the hon
est citizens of this nation, to the end that
all such may lay aside sectionalism and
unite in determined effort to abolish

Says the New Orleans Neu Delta:
From all over the section OF Louisiana
which Is devoted to the cultivation of
cotton comes tho news that the planters
arc preparing to decrease the acreage OF
that staple aud diversity their crops to a
greater extent than heretofore. This de-
termination is the result of the low price
for the feecy staple the present season.
This is wise move on the part OF the
planters, as nothing tends more to keep
the farmer poorer than the one-crop sys-
tenn. II the low price of cotton has had
the effect indicated above, It has at least
taught the planters wholesome lesson.
