Enthusiasm.

In reading the reports OF the Re
publican and Democratic conven-
tons that have been held this year,
we are impressed with the idea that
the only signal in a Democratic
convention, for tremendous out
burst of enthusiasm, was for some
fellow to Jump up and call the name
Of Grover Cleveland. In the Re-
publican conventions, the name Of
Bill Mckinley, Jim Blaine or Ben
Harrison struck the springs OF
feeling that aroused the tremendu-
Gus outbursts of enthusiasm. 1t
seems to have been different in the
conventions held by the Peoples
party. While due regard was
shown for men whose work in the
cause of the people deserved recog-
milton and approval, it was the
name or enunciation of some eter-
nal principle Of human rights that
aroused the feeling of enthusiasm
that might well be called divine.

against the Peoples party. Facts,
and the causes of results, lead us to
the conclusion that the liquor bust
ness, in all it's forms, is simply one of
the tails of the money power We
are again forced to inquire for in
formation that will enable us to full
ly understand how in the name OF
common sense it is possible for one
tail to control and wag the whole
money body. The Peoples party
is not tail party it's not made up
that way It's after the head and
body that is controlling and wagglng
the tails that have been, and ere
still, switching the poor, honest
American people in the face

Extracts from John j. Ingalls,
Late Chautauqua Speech at
Washington.


Washington.
eff some men are rich, and 9th
ers poor, it is the fault of the Crea-
tor, and not Of Legislation.
There are ten millions of people
in this country that never get
enough to eat, from one years end
to the other
There was $4,000 spent Oh
flowers at one wedding
"3l 900 men hold more than one
half of the acquired earnings of the
republic for the last one hundred
years. If 81 900 men own one-halt
of the wealth of 62, 100000 people,
what is there to hinder one man
from getting control of it all +?
"The doctrine Of 'the devil take
hindmost' is a good one-but just
now, it seems, there are more hind
most than foremost.
George Washington, at the time
of his death, was reported to be the,
richest man in the country worth
from eight to nine hundred thousand
To-day there are scores Of men in
this country whose annual income
exceeds the entire value of all the
property held by the richest man in
the country one hundred years ago.
"There is one man, a private
holder Of government bonds, who
has larger income from the coupons
of those bonds than the entire es-
tate Of George Washington was
worth.
"Jay Gould and l are about of
an age, and we went into business
about the same time. He entered
Wall street with patent mouse
trap, set it, and has come pretty
near catching the whole world in it.
| started west with gripsack, and
to-day, | am statesman out of a
job"
These satanic statesmen always
claim that the Creator is to blame
for the unequal distribution Of
wealth that labor creates. But the
common people are beginning to see
that it is such men as Ingalls,, John
Sherman and their legislation that
has caused the condition so fOrcibly
portrayed by the Statesman out of
a job, " who is now squealing against
government paternalism, after being
pulled from the public teat

In Australia the government owns
the railroads. 1t only costs per-
son $3.50 to ride one thousand miles
there. Communication rates for local
service are still lower. A workman
can ride to and from his work,
distance of six miles, for two cents
a trip; twelve miles for four cents
eighteen miles for six cents TWEEN
four miles for eight cents; thirty
miles for ten cents. Yearly tickets
good for thirty-mile trips are sold
for Sl7.40. This is the kind of
Capitalization we need in this coun-
try it centralizes bread and meat
into the mouths of the working
mans children and clothes on their
backs.-Citizens' Alliance.
If the government of Australia
can own and run the railroads sue
cessfully, why not the government
of the United States do the same?
Is it not as capable of doing a rail
road business as is Australia?

Information.

In the AG1rAroR Of July 7 we
published an article taken from the
Chicago Tribune, by the Chicago
Lever, and the Levers comment.
To this article, our readers are
aware that we also added short
comment. The Lever Of July l6
publishes the closing part OF our
comment, and then goes on to say :
1t would be information to the
Lever to find what liquor organs,
what distilleries and breweries
have armed and equipped them
selves for the purpose of making
war on the Peoples party.
In the Levers comment on the
Tribune article, it said:
1t is the money power behind the
throne that controls the liquor bus
mess
On this allegation of the Lever
we based our comment. Now lit
would be information to us if both
the allegations of the Lever are
true-namely-the one in which 1t
is said, sit is the money power be-
hind the throne that controls the
liquor business" and the one in
which it says, "the money power
does not control the distilleries,
breweries, saloon-keepers and liquor
dealers, but they control the money
power We want this informa-
ton badly, for we are now OF the
opinion that these allegations of the
Lever do not harmonic. A liquor
organ, as we understand it, is one
that advocates the liquor business.
Then of course it would be "infor-
nation" to us to hear of a single
liquor organ that is not working for
the success of either the Republican
party or the Democratic party SO
you see that it would still be "infor-
nation" to us to hear of single
Republican organ or Democratic or
gan that is not making war against
the Peoples party. There is not a
man who is possessed of a common
amount of reason but knows it to
be fact that it would be impossi-
BILE for a distillery, brewery, sa-
loon, or a liquor dealer to exist,
unless there was, or is, money
power, or money monopoly behind
it. This leads us to again say, it
would be information to us to hear
of single money power, money
corporation, liquor trust, or any
other trust, that is not making war

Very Important.


The Progressive Farmer, of Ra-
leigh, N. c., President Folks paper,
and the official ogran Of the North
Carolina Farmers State Alliance,
gives the following timely advice to
the order
'"The brotherhood cannot be too
careful in the important matter OF
selecting their very best and most
faithful members to represent them
in their various state Alliances,
which are to meet in the near flu
ture. None but earnest, faithful
Alliance men, who stand unftlnch-
ingly by our principles, should be
selected as representatives of the
state in the next supreme council.
Matters of vital importance are to
be considered and acted upon by
that body. 1t will be the most i'm
portant meeting by far that has ever
been held by our order. 1t should,
therefore, be composed of our very
best men. These men are to be
chosen by our state Alliance, and as
that body is composed of men Sc
lected by the various county AL
liances to be careful and discreet in
selecting them.
During the next Alliance year we
will need stern integrity Of princi-
pie, high moral courage and unwav-
ering loyalty in our leaders Els
pecially are these qualities to be
seriously sought for in selecting the
presidents of the various states.
They must be men Of the courage
of their convictions. They must
be men of nerve They must be
true to Alliance principles. They
must be clear above the temptations
of bribery. They must be men who
will, under all circumstances, prove
true and faithful to the great trusts
committed to their keeping We
think we can clearly foresee a con
dition Of things that will require all
these qualities in the men who are
to bear our banners. Unless we great
ly mistake the signs of the times,
the day is not distant when the
manhood and honesty and courage
and loyalty of all Alliance men will
be put to the severest test. The in
dica,ions are that heavy assault is
to be made on us and all along the
lines. Let us have our wisest and
best men to lead and guide us"

JOHN SHERMAN is just now receiv-
ing aid in his contest for reelection
to the senate from unexpected
sources, such papers as the New
York World, Sun, and Herald, the
Charleston News and Courier, New
Orleans Time-Democrat, and many
other prominent Democratic jour

to Senator Sherman, but it should
be conclusive evidence to the peo-

National Banker-We have the
best banking system the world ever
saw. We get our money from the
government at one per cent, whole
sale, and are prepared to loan it to
you in job lots-graduated at from
