The common people will have no show

in on the ground floor and by the time
their little O. wants are attended to it
will be time for our representatives III
congress to take their annual spree and
while doing so they will kindly, yes,
kindly, explain chow the ether fellows
kept them from doing what the people
stood so much in need of. but if the
voters will Just elect them again they
will see that the people are represented, "
meaning that they will give them another

your eye on congress aed see how your
representatives ignore your interests; 1t

THE ALLIANCE AND PEOPLES PARTY.
Because the Peoples party did not win
at the recent election, the Alliance is 60
ing to pieces. This is the logic of the old
party organs all over the country. This
is done to discourage and dishearten
members of the Alliance ard win them
back to their old party allegiance. To
some extent this sort of misconstruction
is having its effect but as a rule it does
no harm. The Alliance and the Peoples
party are two separate aud distinct or
carnations and will always remain so,
despite the efforts of the partisan press
to force them together. While the re-
suit of the late contest has not been sat
isfactory to the Peoples party and a
great share of the Alliance membership,
the A lance as an order has received no
injury, but will receive positive benefit.
The meeting at Cincinnati was in the
judgement of many good men both i'll
timed and unfortunate, 1t was opposed
by large portion of the Alliance as an
ill-advised movement. 1t was not an AL
lance meeting in any sense of the term,
and was not so considered at that time
nor since. National Economist.

BE CONSERVATIVE.
Be conservative, by all means. Cotton
may only be u cents and tobacco the
the same in proportion, but that makes
no difference; you must be conservative.
Everything you buy may be twice as
high as what you have to sell, but still
you must be conservative. You may not
not like to pay from 10 to 20 per cent.
for the money you use, but just'be con-
sentative Your farm and personal goods
may be under mortgage and somebody
ready to foreclose, but that makes no
difference; be conservative. The, country
will soon be owed by few persons, in
fact seventy families own one third of it
now, but just keep cool and be conserv-
ative; they will get the Other two thirds
by and by You help pay 1926, 900, 600
annually in tariff tax and $1,000, 900
in interest, but don't say anything against
the methods of either party-be conser-
vative. There is no prospect OF either
party doing much to relieve the country,
at least the past does not prove it, and
we know that rascals hold the relns and
dictate no matter which party is in power,
but that says nothing, just be conserva-
tive and the end will come after awhile.
Jefferson, jackson, Calhoun and Lincoln
and other wise and honest statesmen
advised the people to assert their rights
and rule, but they didn't know as much
as the 10 pound editor or statesmen of
this day and therefore you must be quiet
and be conservative. This is the only
safe way to do. The people who advise
this course have set out to ruin the fair
est country on earth. Just be conserva-
tive and they will do it. Be copserva-
tive. Progressive Farmer,
