State lecturer A. J. Phillips of Wis
consin gives the following sound and
sensible advice to the members of the
farmers alliance:
The future alliance to be successful
must unite on concise, fair and equit-
able platform, to-wit, to elect men to
state and national offices who are in
sympathy with farmers interests, same
as others, in favor of better education,
in favor of better methods of farming, in
favor of lower rates cf interest and fairer
methods of taxation, men who are op-
posed to alien ownership of land and
who are in favor of economy in public
affairs and men who dare stand up and
say that unnecessary officers shall be
abolished and that work for the state
shall be managed and paid for as work
in other business and productive pur-
suits. The conflict between the money
power and the producer is on and to
spend time and study how to settle and
solve it, is the duty of every patriotic
citizen. If settled Alright with justice to
all for the watchword, it means peace,
prosperity and happiness to our state
and nation. To join an association en-
gagged in this glorious work and spend
time studying, speaking and writing on
how to bring about just solution of this
great question is the noblest work man
can do. -1- --'-----.- 's-s- -+-

According to the New York CONNER
cial Bulletin the Pennsylvania canal COM
lature a bill for the construction of a
ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio
river. There will be required a lockage
