In its salutatory the Mdustriol Union,
Creston, Iowa, says: We are here TO
champion the cause of the masses and to
sustain labor in all its just demands. As
the official organ of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union we shall ever be
found true to the principles embodied in
its declaration of purposes, and ready
o champion and defend the prin-
ciplcs OF the order. We realize
that the alliance is entering upon
tempestuous voyage. Nothing but the
energy of its leaders and loyalty of its
members will serve to guide it Alright.
The Industrial Union expects to be assaied
from every side. 1t will be ridculed and
'eviled. 1t will be assaulted by open en-
envy and secret foe. All the forces of
monopoly will be brought iuto requisiton
TO drive the order out of existence. BE
1t SO. We are here to defend the right,
and, with the approval Of the farmers
and laborers of Iowa, we shall with
charity for all, with malice toward none,
with courage for the light as God gives
us to see the right, keep up the war
against oppression of every kind until all
class legislation is forever stricken from
the statute books, and in their stead shall
be written, Equal and exact justice to
, all"
The Liberty Bell Sioux City, Iowa)
speaking OF the power of the Alliance
says 'The good, solid common sense
of the American people, when they have
fully determined upon doing what their
conscience and their Judgment tell them
Is right, that they will not long allow
them to be kept from uniting to carry
out that purpose They are now firmly
convinced their demands are right, and
hence every effort to prevent it only
nnites the more firmly, and in spite of all
that politicians may do or attempt to do,
the SOUND, common sense OF the great,
plain people" will prevail. We repeat,
that in our opinion the Alliance has been
strengthened by thus showing its ability
to foil the attempts Of its enemies to di-
vide and set to warning each other its
two principle divisions"

On the sub-treasury plan q correspond
emit of the Union says: Economists
have for 500 years been trying to adjust
the volume of money to the available
amount of precious metals. This is, and
must always remain as impossible as
s'squaring the circle" because the metals
always run away and hide in time of
trouble, war or civil commolion. The
real problem is to- day the same as it has
always been, and it is very simple one
to adjust the volume of money to the
volume of commerce. All that is neces-
sary is to permit the commodity to fur
nish its own flux, be its own security,
float itself into market. This is tho es-
sence OF the sub-treasury plan"

The membership Of the Colored ALI
ance is increasing beyond count. Ma
tional President Humphrey writes the
Alliance Bureau. ct Washington, that
the organization is prospecting beyond all
precedent so far as organization is con-
cerned. His greatest hindrance is in the
educational Inc. Tho demand for liter
allure is far in excess of ability to supply.
Organizations having literature which
they can dispose of, can do much by
forwarding it to President Humphrey or
distributing it among colored Alliances
that may be near them.

The Faulkner County IVheel Conway,
Ark.) says: ''Why is it that the metro
politan press have maintained grave
yard silence on the issues presented by
the Farmers Alliance? Because they
plainly see that a simple discussion of
them would open the eyes of the people,
and they would quickly hurl some of
their dcmigods from place and power.
They will never discuss issues, they only
throw a little tariff sand to blind the
people,"

Peoples Economist (Thomasvile, Ga

fin has just declared dividend of As
cents per bale for the season Of 1s9O,9t
That means that she cost of storage and
handling their cotton to the farmers who

The Canton (NIiss.) Progress says

10 accomplishing cssening OF the
