! S. 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
If this is the effect.
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 united-Labor Advocate.

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 tramp" arrested
and treated as criminal If he does
not go, he is called loafer, and treated
as 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
advice and consent of Wall street. CEN
tered their fire on the first plank of the
alliance platform-the sub-treasury-
and by ridicule, misreprese ntation 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 it is 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.
| --Jhe alliance sub-treasury plan
largely owes its popularity to the vim
dictive opposition which has been con-
stautly waged against it by both old
parties. The horrible principles which
it 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 speculators and non
| producers look upon it as the worse
thing that could happen to them.

| Nothing exacts from a nation such
a fearful and imperative retribution as

to injustice. Whether it be in the field
or 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 evoles spirit and cultivates
| a 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. J"
are words we would do well to heed. -
