CAPITAL AND LABOR.
The London Times Unwittingly Argues
Favor of the FarmePa

The London Times Unwitting1y Argues In
Favor of the Farmers.
The London Times, after producing
an argument against the teachings of
the reformers engaged in labor move
ment that shows a complete miscon-
ception of the whole subject as it ex-
lists in America, offers the following
truthful conclusions;
Reduction of the gross sum divisible
between capital and labor tends to di-
minish, not to increase, the fraction of
what isleft that goes to the workmen.
Their best ally is multiplication of cap
ital. the return upon which decreases
with the increase of its amount. 1t is
the workingm1n who Is most deeply
concerned IN the accumulation of cap.
ital and who feels first, most acutely
and most abidingly, any calamity that
seriously DIM nishes the amount of
available wea tn This truth is hateful
to the agitator and the adyenturer, be-
cause it can not be turned to the use of
either; but it behooves all genuine
friends of tie working classes to bring
it home to them with every argument
that they are capable Of understand
ing
This is an 1mirable confirmation of
the demand of the farmers for a greater
volume of money. It will help labor
more than it will capital This is why
capital fights it 50 hard.-kational

whipped the Democratic party into line
and forced it to swallow the Alliance
platform can very consistently remain
in its ranks and vote the ticket, but
they would not urge lifelong Repub-
licans to hoist its banners, and if they
did the chances are that 1t would only
awaken resentment Or suppose the
Alliance in the North should whip the
Republican party into line and the Re-
publican Alliance members urge the
Alliance to all declare for the Repub-
hcan party. Such q condition as either
of these propositions would subject Al
lance fealty to test which many be-
heve TO be unnecessary and unwise,
and believing so will contend for indie
pendent action. Delegates should be
prepared from the people to meet this
question without hinching or evasion.
They must meet all the principles in
volved in the demand, and then the
policy of presenting each must also be
sustained They must meet the princi-
pies involved in new party movement,
and must also defend the policy of their
action. Some will say that it is folly to
attempt to enforce the demands by a
third party move. because majority of
the country would have to be converted
to the party before its mandates could
be enforced, while, under present cir
cumstances, with only two parties and
they of equal strength, that a majority
of one party, or a fraction over one
fourth of the entire vote, could be made
to carry out the demands. They forget
that by the same process of reasoning
there would be three parties equally
divided, and that therefore 1t would
only require fraction over one-sixth
the entire vote to enforce the demands.
The fact is that both processes of rea-
soning are false, and no demand should
be contended for that would not benefit.
the whole people. :
The platform adopted by the joint
committee of confederation simplifies
the process of presenting the demands,
to the people. This platform is agreed
to by the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, the Knights of
Labor, the National Citizens Alliance,
and the Colored National Farmers Al
lance and Cooperative Union, and will
be the basis on which all organizations
will cooperate in the movement In
conclusion, this action can not be con-
strued as having gone into politics or
as having refused to go into politics. :"
1t is simply biding the verdict of the
| people.
There are some tracks in this road
that 1t might be well for the politician
to study closely. 1t is cool, calm, con-
servative and dignifed; there is nothing
''hurrah" about it There is no threat,
and still there is effective preparation
for the enforcement of the demands.
Can any observer of the signs of the
times doubt that should the politician
examine the trail In February 1892, he
will find the tracks all pointing the
way?-National Economist.

In view of the fact each organization
has the power to define its own policy,
the line it shall educate upon, and the
method that it shall pursue, it is go
as-you-please race in this line, and to
this end the National Citizens Alliance,
right here and now, proposes to define
its policy. 1t will be of positive and
aggressive character. 1t will be un-
compromising in its advocacy of the to-
tai abolition, root and branch, of the
present National bank system; that
every dollar of their circulation must
be withdrawn and Government full -le-
gal tender notes substituted in their
place. That the method of distributing
the same among the people shall be by
the Government loaning them upon
real estate at the low rate of per cent.
per annum, with proper limitation to
prevent the large land syndicates from
securing monopoly of the same. And
also by loaning them upon merchant
able goods at margin of security low
enough to insure the Government from
loss.
That the Government shall assume
the ownership of the railroad and tele-
graph lines under the right of eminent
domain. That the first step in this di-
rection shall be the foreclosure of the
Government liens upon the Union and
Central Pacific railways. That the local
Governments shall assume control un-
der the right of eminent domain of all
street railroads, electric light plants,
gas and water works. And in view of
the undisputed fact that the leaders of
the Republican and Democratic parties
are composed of those who are pecuni-
arily interested in maintaining these
unjust systems that are the cause of the
burden of our complaints, which render
these parties incapable of granting the
prayers of the tax-ridden people, we
shall at all times and under all circum-
stances, in season and out of season,
keep nailed to the masthead the motto
that the convention of February %,
1892, must, If it be true to the best in
terests of the people, without reserva-
ton or evasion promulgate a third
party, and declare ''war to the knife,
and the knife to. the hilt," until exter-
mination be the lot of both of them

THE SOUTHERN ALLIANCE.

This Term IL q Misnomer, Used Only BY
Apostles OF Disoord and Sectional Hate.
The National Farmers' Alliance has passed
no such resolution (sub-treasury). The
body that passed Il Is the National Farmers,
Alliance and Industrial Union, or as IL is
commonly called the Southern Alliance"
The fact that the National Farmers Alliance
and the National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union are two separate and distinct
bodies, having no connection beyond the
similarity in name. can not be too constant
ly kept In view.-Homestead-
There Is no such body in existence as
the Southern Alliance" Nor is the
National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union" commonly called the
Southern Alliance" by anybody except
3 few Republican editors, who cop-
stantly live, move and have their being
in an atmosphere of petty sectional
jealousy and hatred. The country has
had enough Of this business. The ALI
ance Is not sectional organization. Ia
has higher aims and nobler purposes.
Its noblest purpose is to Danish sec
tionalism and lead the whole country
to the common ground of brotherhood,
where, under humane legislation, the
rights Of the humblest as well as the
mightiest shall be secured. This is the
feeling OF the Alliance everywhere,
without regard to the particular divis-
ION to which they chance TO belong.
The States of New York, Kansas.
South Dakota, North Dakota, PennsyI-
vania, Michigan, Indiana, Colorado,
California-ten Northern States-be-
long to the Farmers and Laborers' In
dustrial Union, and the Knights of La
Dor everywhere belong to this union.
Many local Alliances in Iowa belong
also. Besides this, the whole body of
the Alliance in this State, Nebraska,
Minnesota and elsewhere entertain the
friendliest possible feeling for their
brethren of the "Union," as it Is called.
The two Alliance bodies are In substan-
tal accord in their platforms. They
may not be in unison regarding the
"sub-treasury system, but they declare
with one voice that the National bank
system shall GO. They are a unit ON
that. They have agreed upon the sub
treasury which they don't want. We
can safely trust to their ultimate iudp-
ment as to the otheE-Iowa Tribune.
