We wish TO add one thing more TO
this statement. The men who com
pose tho Farmers Alliance in Kansas
are honest, industrious, law-abiding
citizens men who will pay every dol
lar OF their honest indebtedness just
as soon as it is possible for them to
do 30. They are not in favor Of re-
pudiation. They are not a set OF
bloodthirsty outlaws. They are the
same identical men who have in for
mer years constituted the great bulk
of the republican and democratic par
ties. They differ now in no way from
what they we're when they were sup
porting these corrupt old parties, OK
cept that they have their eyes open
and the partisan papers that are now
mSliciously falsiiying their character
and impugning their motives we're
formerly wont to speak Of them as
the most honest, intelligent and
industrious constituency on the face
Of the globe. Why this chsngeY
Verify "it is lawful to deceive, to kill,
TO destroy" The design is to bring
the Farmers Alliance into disrepute.

Canism, and his disciples are faithful

THE ADVOCATE has always been in
favor Of a deep water harbor on the
Gulf, provided it can be constructed
by the government in such a way as
to secure it's advantages and benefits
to the people rather than to individual
speculators or soulless corporations.
IL seems impossible, however, for any
measure to secure the attention OF
Congress or the administration in
these modern times unless there is
a syndicate or a corporation behind
it, that is to be enabled through spec
ulation to reap a rich harvest from
the sweat and toll Of the producing
classes. Six million two hundred
thousand dollars Of the peoples mon

every pound of produce transported
to this point for shipment. Men who
are interested in this wharfage are
also asking Congress to incorporate
railroad lines leading to this harbor,
and steamship lines leading out OF it,
