Alliance Times (Oberlin, K as. ) says:
There is nothing that would please tho
enemies Of the Alliance my better
than to see it die out. They arc doing
|;all lIl!5 in their power, through the columns
of their papers to kill OFF ths order, BY
quoting and misrepresenting the pnr.l
p9ses Of our order. D | sesss;;S 5w$your5
min minds 1ls to be led ;astray in THIS manner.
Our enemies say We are going into
politics, which means, .'the science Of
government" which further means 10
labor for the education Of the agricul.
tpral classes, TO promplgate tho science
of an economic government. and to do
| this in q strictly non partisan manner,
which, when done, will bring about a
moro perfect union Of the laboring
|classes. This very fact Of "union ofe
forces 10 the ghost that Mounts tho
political demagogue inthis dreams, or
bobs up aerenely bofore the eyes Of
the federal office holder. The Iii.
ance has now reached the critical
period Of lis existence. Designing men
with powerful influences nre seeking
to oYerthfow the order By diverting
our attention from the grand objects
we have in view. They interview our;
lenders and then, throught tBeirpapers,
misreprescnt he6llanguago of the
interview, and even go SO fur as to
quote languageithat was veruttered.
The Associated Press send out reports
that certainof our leaders have writ.
ten or apoken 30 and so, when the
truth Is. tits q falsehood 3of the whole
cloth, but. gottenup3 in such d mannor
THAT they cannot be handled for the
MISREPRESENTATION. This has been
frequently done. and our people are are
kept divided in opinion BY these
deylish articles Of our enemies. We
may be ever go strong in numbers, but
unless we are q unit we can never
achieve o financial success, or With
stand the treachsryof our foes without,
and pretended friends within. 81 Our
principles and purposes must be lived
up to tho letter. OF all our labor will
be for naught. We cannot be TOO
careful Of our aotiong, Of too secret
/ with our motives. va should CLOSE
our doors firmly against tho designing
and unworthy. five fnd such within
