that you believe what you teach, and
mean to. have what y u ask. Then, i:
you fail it will be because the two old
parties unite. And, if they do this you
can carry everything in the next election.
Let the peoples candidates stand together
for the principles we advocate, and thus
deserve The confidence an | respect of our
membership everywhere. United we
shall win, divided we are a blank.-The

The Window-G Glass Trust has at last
completed its plans for taking full advan-
tage of the high duties and the tricks that
were inserted in the new tariff law for its
benefit as a result of the labo1s of Mr..
Mckinley. At the meeting held in Chi
cago yesterday all obstacles were removed
by the accession OF two manufacturers
who had been standing aloof, and, with
the assistance of ex- Gov. Foster of OHIO,
the scheme was perfected. Dealers
predict" the press dispatches say, "a
sharp advance in the nex5 few weeks"
1t will be recalled that since the work of
making this combination was begun the
price of window glass has been increased
three times. 1t is curious to mark how
those whom our neighbor, the Tribune,
calls the deadly foes of the protective
policy" thrive by their assaults npon the
protective system, and how the foremost
advocates OF high duties work night and
day to help them ON Y. Times.
The Bankers Mo hly, which surely
would not everestimate the ma ter, III
speaking of the farm mortgages in six of
our best States, gives the amount Cared
by each as follows: Kansas $235, OOO,-
900; Indiana, $645, 600, 600; Iowa, $751;
100000; Michigan, $500, 100000; Wis
%consip, 1857, OO0,O 900; Ohio, $l,l27, OOO,-
900. Here are mortgages on the farms
of only six States aggregatiDg $3,43l,-
600, 600, the interest on which at 6 per
cent. amounts to over 5000, 00O, 900.
Now the whole produ ;tion of gold and
silver in the United States per year is not
half enough to pay the interest OF the
farm mortgages of six States, and yet
these same bankers are demanding the
destruction of treasury notes, the demone-
tizstion of silver and the establishment Of
a gold standard and the farmer, waat is
he doing? Well, he is e~conomizing,
cursing the ring politicians and voting the
old party ii ;ket.-PGcJic Union.
x The piutocratic organs have been very
busy since the annual meeting of the
National Alliance at Ocala, in predicting
the downfall of the Alliance. The wish
is father to the thought. The truth is
that the Ocala meeting simply settled and
decided the police of the Alliance. The
st. Louis resolutions were an enumeration,
Inject to amendment and change after a
1voo-Ic l;co,,oc;oa o,I Io1iIo-o+11-. but %lo
Ocala meeting gave forth the determine
ton and decision of the order. In short,
it settled and fixed what had been urcer-
tain and undecided. The plans and pur-
poses, as adopted at Ocala, become the
fixed policy of the Alliance. The mo-
nopolists need not harbOr a doubt or en-
terrain a hope to the contrary. The fight
is on, the contest has opened, the reforms
demanded must come and they will come.
Instead of predicting all sor; of calsmities
to the Alliance the m~onopolists may just
prepare for the wal and begin to fight
straight from the shoulder. ALLIANCE

The farmers create the largest portion
of the worlds wealth and are admitted tc
be the bone and sinew Of a nations
power, why is it that laws are made tc
discriminate against them? The mechanic
and farmer pay directly 1ine-tenths Of
the taxes of this nation; but not 8
mothers son Of them can borrow one
dollar from our government to assist
them in their business, and yet the use OF
millions is given to the speculative class
on the fimsy pretense of safe-keeping
while other millions are loaned to the
same class for speculative purposes, at &
cost of one per cent. If a United States
bond is good security for money used in
the banking business, why is it not
equally as good security for money to be
used in any business If our govern,
ment can loan money for n kind o.
business, by what rule is it made uncon.
s%titutional to loan for another on the
same security? If our government car
loan money on its bonds, why not loar
money at the same rate on the peoples
land which make the bonds good, for il
there were no farms or farmers there
would soon be no value to the bonds o.
this country. Labor creates and sustainE
all wealth, yet it receives but a small
portion of what it makes. Why should
it be compelled to pay all taxes? Answer
who will or can-LGbOrerS' Light.
There is a steady, growing sentiment
in favor of the Alliance all along the line
and those who were inclined to look upor
the movement with fear or disgust arr
now beginning to look friendly upon the
mighty movement which has startled the
new world, and which has startled the
masses to thinking. No organization
met with such success in so short a time
and we have seer but the beginning
There are other worlds to conquer, anG
the Alliance will not put it off for "some
m IRE convenient season" but will proceed
right along in the business of ~conquering
its enemies. Thousands OF voters in
Kansas hesitated, and finally voted against
us, who would have been with US had
they been convinced that we could even
poll a respectable vote, and many have
since declared. Iwould have voted with
