Cord, cease boarding their ill-gotten
gains should at once be abandoned.
F6ey are not content with millions of
dollars but are working now for
billions of them.
The Peoples Advocate: If little
union in Alaska were to pass resolu-
ton repudiating the action of the
Cincinnati convention, the old party
press would make a two column
editorial out of it. The Alliance will
take care of its sick and if they kill us
In 1872 we will take care of the corpse.
Industrial Union: Which do you
want cheap money or cheap produce?
You can't have both. One means in
dependence and prosperity for your
family, and the other means rags,
mortgages, interest and tenantry for
you and your children. Make up your
mind between this and '92, for this is
your last chance.
Twentieth Century: Only few
weeks ago Emperor William said: Il
and / alone am master in Germany, :"
or words to that effect and yet the
other day a pair of horses ran away
with him and seriously endangered his
life. If he is not careful, a mouse may
next run up the inside of his trousers
leg, and then, for a few minutes, at
least who would be masterp
The Sentinel: my native country
thee, Sweet land of liberty Yes,
''sweet land of liberty" where the
many are robbed for the benefit of the
few. Sweet land of liberty" and
those who produce all wealth live on
crusts and 60 in rags, while those who
produce nothing live off the fat of the
land. LAND of monopoly may not
have quite so much poetry in it. but it
is nearer the truth.
The Sentinel: What are 'you''
doing towards helping along this great
fight OF the People against the corpor-
ate monopolists?
Are you doing anything more than
Just howl and growl about the hard
times?
Have you done so much as to send
in a single new subscriber for your re-
form paper during the last year?
Don't you think it is about time you
did it?
Southern Mercury: Alliance men,
when these little grape-headed pol
iticians begin to ask you ques-
tons about what the Alliance is
going to do, ask them if they are
friends to the order; if they say
yes, tell them that the Alliance is
going to take the farmers wives and
daughters out of the cotton patch and
put the daughters in the school house.
If they say no, tell them it is none of
their business.
Bevier, Mo-, Appeal: The profess
sional politician is a queer animal,
and at present he is in his most pecu-
liar state. He hardly knows what to
do or say at present-the present is a
period of great uncertainty with this
class He is anxious to get on the
biggest chunk and is engaged in feel
ing the public pulse and when he finds
out what the people want he will come
forward and say, ''Them's my senti-
ments exactly" He never leads but
always follows public opinion.
Industrial Education: Since the
stirring times of 80 to go we have not
heard of so much political excitement
interest and organization a year to
fourteen months before an election as
we witness now. Congressman Oates
of Alabama declares that the whole
South is ablaze with the alliance
craze" has lost it's faith in Cleveland,
and is liable to rush pell nell into the
new party at any time. So the colonel
is rushing about like a hen with her
head cut off trying to do something or
get some one else to do something to
save the g. o. p. And we look forward
to 1872 and sing 20, that will be glo-
rious."
The Great West: When we realize
that there is no limit 20 the amount
OF fictitious wheat which may be sold,
we can form some idea of the effect
which this gambling in options has
upon the price of wheat actually raised
and sold in the markets of the world.
Thoughtful men are coming to see the
gigantic evil in this sort of gambling,
which affects not only those who are
foolish enough to risk their money in
the operation, but also effects every
man in the country who raises single
bushel of wheat to sell. Nor is wheat
alone the only cereal injuriously eff
fected by this gambling in options for
such gambling is done with all other
grains as the basis, and meats, flour,
lard, and almost every other market
able commodity has its price disturbed
and depressed by these unholy opera
tions in what are called options
The National Economist: OF all
the evils inficting our country to-day
we believe there is none greater thar
one of gambling in options. There
can be little doubt that there is al.
