The farmers. WOrkingmen and all the
industrial classes can direct the desti-
MES of this country for good or for evil
as they elect, but they must unite and
work together to direct it for good
alone.-The Alabama Mirror (Selma)
Somebody is powerful uneasy for fear
the alliance will go into the third party.
What if she does =? Haven't you said
all along that the farmers alliance was
small potato and would never amount
to anything? Then why this uneasi-
ness ? Grand View TEX Sentinel.
Seventy cents worth of intrinsic

Four dollars and thirty cents of this is

LEGATIONS.
The banks throughout the country
have plenty of money now to loan on
good paper. They are the kickers
against the proposition for the people
to borrow from the government. They
don't seem to take kindly to the idea,
and are doing their utmost to stop the
growth of lt.-Times, Billings, Mo.
Congress at it's last session provided
for public building at Kansas City to
cost 81 200, 900. We have no doubt that
5000, 900 would construct a building sui.
ficient for all national government uses
at that place. The million spent in
making 1t Zine building" would build
half the warehouses Missouri would be
entitled to under the sub-treasury bill

It looks very much as though the re-
publicans do not want to understand the
bill. Of course it was intended, as
Senator Carroll says, to apply only to
day labOrers, not men employed by the
month. There is no necessity for an
extra session. The courts will decide
in quick time as to the class OF people
for whose benefit the law was passed.
Leavenworth Standard.
Never before was such an effort made
to educate the masses as since the inau-
guration of the alliance of farmers.
The leaders who are responsible for this
work are the objects of attack by the
city press, and are classed as hoodlums
and degraded Office seekers. Verify,
the people should read these attacks
with big grain of allowance for the
men who inspire them.-Alliance Ad-

We don't want our readers to con-
clude that we blame bankers, money
lenders, spectators and full-handed
merchants doing business at enormous
profits on a credit basis, secured by
mortgages, because they oppose the
sub-treasurv idea. These gentlemen
are simply doing what every farmer,
mechanic and small merchant ought 10
do-use bis influence and vote to pro-

wife and his little oues.-Chickasa

Senator George says, ''the money
loaned to the expositions, centennial,
cotton lat New Orleans), and worlds
fair, was not granted under the general
welfare clause, nor did the supreme
court decide it was" Pray tell the peo-
pie under what clause these loans were
granted. Is is not shame to states
manship to handy over the method of
taking $7,500,000 from the producing
classes to squander on expositions where
favored classes receive all the gains,
and offer them in return no other re-
lief than tariff reform of only 10 per
cent?-McComb City Miss. Enterprise.
We do not claim that The sub-treasury
plan is perfect, but has one of those who
oppose it offered better plan for re-
lief of the people? No. What do the
old democratic party bosses offer as a
panacea for all our troubles? Reduction
of the tariff, by voting for the party.
What do the political bosses of the re-
publican party offer as substitute and
by which they claim the people will
get all they need? Protection, by vot-
ing the republican ticket. What is the
