ALLIANCE lecturers in this and
 otber counties are telling the people Il ,baa one or the other of the two
 nresent great political parties has l been in power for nearly thirty years,
 and that during this period the
 .bnses which have brought
 sbout the present depression have
 grown up. Whenever such state
 msnt is made it IS misleading and
 clearly false. The democratic par 1 ty has not been in power in all l branches of the government since l 1861. Since that the republican
 pssty has had control of ali' or of nEs or of two of the law making branches of the government. The Rdemocratic party could never have lpassed single law, or prevented any of the legislation that farmers N complain of, against the will of the Republican party. It is bad policy or any speaker to claim that the two bld parties are equally responsible |ybecause such statement is too easl N proven untrue. One of the stand jLpg indictments against the demo- FNStic party by the republican and third parties is that the democratic party is always "agin" everything. It opposed the contraction Of the currency. It opposed the resump
 ton of specie payments, It opposed the repeal of the income tax. It has always opposed high tariffs. It op posed tue giving away of thousand millions of land to railroads. It op posed the demonstration of silver. s4,Shough representing majority of the American people, it did not have the power te enact one solitary line
 Of legislation. To day the republi-
 can party praises our contracted
 currency system, justifies the de.
 demonetization of silver, and stands
 by tue Mckinley iniquity, while the
 democratic party condemns all these
 wrongs. Alliance speakers do not
 need to presume on the ignorance of
 their hearers. The people know
 s.eter than to believe that the dem
 cratic party is in any way responsi
 Lle for the laws under which so
 much injustice toward the people IS permitted. And kno wing this they rightly conclude that If these speak CTS would misrepresent and try to deceive in one particular, why not all along the line. The safe plan IS
 to read and investigate. and take no stock in the spacious pleas Of office
 seeking demagogues.

TIE Keokuk, Iowa, Constitution - Democrat makes the following men, tion of Gen. George W. Jones in it's account of the re union of the early settlers of Lee county, of which men tion has been made before in the DEMOCRAT:
 Gen. Geo. W. Jones, the first Un lted States senator from Iowa, who IS aged S7 and resides in Dubuque, IS still vigorous, hale and hearty old gentleman. He made the prin- cipal address, occupying nearly two hours time. He narrated many thrilling incidents of pioneer life, as well as political events of early days, which are ot intense interest to younger generations. Ills stories of how he became a military man, how he was made senator, how he secured the appointment of Gen. Dodge as minister to Spain, his per sonal "reminiscences of Andrew Jack son and Franklin Pierce, Senator Dodge's courtship and romantic marriage, were listened to with breathless attention"
 The DEMOCRAT IS indebted to Capt. John R. Homer Scott for full text of the celebrated speech, which we would re produce in it's entirety dld space permit. Repiete with interest and instruction it was certainly a rare treat for those who heard it.

SOME newspapers advise farmers to attend more closely to their farms and quit talking politics, and they will be more prosperous. Why wouldn't editors, merchants, lawyers and all other classes also be more prosperous If they would attend strictly to their business and let politics alone2-Alliance Exchange.
 They would. The lawyer who de votes more attention to office hunting than to his profession is as a rule a mighty poor lawyer. The editor who makes a politician of himself IS generally a failure as an editor. So with the farmer and everybody else. Politics should be a side issue. Ev- cry one ought to be interested in public affairs, but the business of professional politicians will not pay the farmer or any other American citizen.
