THE ALLIANCE.

the Alliance does not know what it
wants. but because it does know, that
Is bringing out such TRADE of abuse
from the cess-pool of corruption against
it.
Arkansas Farmer: If this govern
pent must depend upon wheat and cot
ton to bring back our gold from Eu-
rope, and keep the balance of trade in
its favor, cannot these same products
be depended on to hold the gold at
home and keep up the balance of trade
between our own people? The farmers
think so.
The Home Sentinel: The national
treasury is empty; the Kentucky state
treasury is empty; the national treas
ury is under control of the Repub-
Icans; the Kentucky treasury is under
control of the Democrats. These
things considered what can we expect
but general bankruptcy under the
policy of either G. o. p.'s?
who lives on his income from interest
wants money scarce. He buys labor
He wants it cheap. The workingman
Cells labor. He wants the price of it
high. More money will make the price
OF labor higher. But money itself will
be cheaper, and the capitalists object.
Which way will you vote, working
men?
Modern Light: The farmer must be
2 calamityite who will complain of the
big yield and high price of fax. just
think of it averaging six bushels per
acre, Is cents per bushel; paid for seed,
$3.50 per bushel, net loss, about 50 per
bushel. Don't complain; it is all right
at the other end of the deal. The
mortgage fellows will help you out.
The sheriff will pay them.

Arkansas Economist: The railroad
stock of the country is reported at ten
billions of dollars. Half of this is
admitted to be fictitious or watered.
An Alliance squeezer will do the work
for this, and after we have taken from
these corporations the two billions of
dollars worth of land which of right
belongs to the people, there will be
only three billions left to purchase, if
that be necessary. We need about
that much additional currency anyway,
and greenbacks are good enough for
common people. s....-

The Weekly Toiler: The question
is often asked, who are Hazard and
Buell.? G. w. Hazard was the secre-
tary of the London Bankers Associa-
ton in 1862, and the circular so widely
published was sent out to the bankers
Of this country at that time when Eng
lish fnanciers were so much interested
in American affairs. James Buell.,
author of the Bank Circular, was Sec
rotary of the National Bankers Asso-
citation OF the United States in 1875
He then had his office at 247 Broad
way, New York. He may still be an
officer of the association.
Alliance Advocate: The advocates
and promoters of the present reform
movement, make war on no legitimate
business or interest but extend the
right hand of fellowship to all men
who are striving to make an honest
living. They are striving to rescue
agriculture from the perils which now
threaten its advancement and restore
1t to it's national banker, but he re-
sembled that troublesome insect the
bedbug. Take one of the pesky things
in your hand, turn him over, look at
him, size him up from head to foot and
he is not a bad looking bug; cover him
up with a magnifying glass. still he
isn't bad looking bug. 1t is not the
bug so much we object to, but the in
fernal business he is engaged in.
Alliance Herald: The gold bug adj
vocatcs of monometalic currency
contend that the free coinage of silver
will be to take 80 cents for dollar of
farm products, because England will
price them on a gold basis and her
financiers also price our silver in
dollar at so cents. When Uncle Sam
prices our silver at one dollar it will
be a dollar If England does not
want it at that price she need not take
it. AS England is a gold standard
country, she prices every thing at
gold prices, and pays in gold. So
when she prices American products on
gold basis she will pay on gold basis
Americans can have their silver pic
MICS alone and will not be disturbed in
the slightest if England shall not agree
with her in appreciation of the white
metal
The Southern Alliance Farmer: The
Alliance of Georgia now numbers over
30, 600 members, and there never was
80 loyal true brave and determined
q band formed. The most glorious
news reaches us from every section
OF our state. We are increasing daily
in both numbers and enthusiasm. At
q few days notice we can gather from
1900 to TO- 600 people to listen to an
address. If an Alliance speech is an
nounced the boys will lay everything
aside and come to the rally. Is there
any power on earth that can down
