ern representatives largely predOml-
mated, and, while there was no sectional
strife and no opposition from the north,
to the south must be credited very
largely the origin of the remedial meas
TIres which are now insisted upon by
the entire organization. Pre-eminent
among these measures is the sub
treasury bill This measure has
never received more bitter opposition
from any source than from the demo-
cratic party. It will never receive the
support of either the democratic or the
republican party Wall street. which
absolutely dominates both, will attend
to this. 1t must readily be seen, there
fore, that the alternative will be pre-
sented to alliance mem ers of both
parties of abandoning either former
party affiliations or the principles of
the alliance; and when it comes to a.
choice of this character who can doubt
what that choice will be? 1t has al.
ready been sufficiently indicated, even
by those who now oppose the new
party. We repeat then, that he who
would correctly forecast the future of
the southern alliance, must look below
the surface indications, and study the
under current of public events. The
members of the order in the south
are being swept along by an
under current that is as resistless
as the tides of old ocean, and
it will be absolutely impossible
for them to avoid the support of a new
party. They, as well as the people of
the north, realize that the policy of the
past must be revised or disaster and
ruin and serfdom VIII be the heritage
of the next generation. They, as we'll
as the north, understand that sectional
ism must be destroyed, and the south
and the west must join hands in order
to avert these calamities The north
west is ready for the union. It's condi-
tons cannot be mistaken. These con-
ditions are not submitted by the dicta-
ton of any section; they are the natural
outgrowth of influences that have been
In operation for many years. The
northwest is more rapidly progressive
than the south, and has con-
formed to these conditions in adj
vance. It remains for the south to
effect like adaptation and the result
of the industrial contest will not be in
work which are even now rapidly
revolutionizing political sentiment, the
people of the southern states cannot be
intimidated or their course be changed
by threats Like the people of the
north, their future must be influenced
by educational MEANS When they
become satisfied that the democratic
party is not the friend of the alliance,
they will have no more use for that
party This they are rapidly learning
and they will understand it fully be-
fore the contest of 1892 is fairly begun.
Even the Capital, which is so persistent
in its declarations that the alliance is
the democratic party, says that the
democratic party will never indorse the
sub-treasury scheme. Then it is as
certain as that night will follow day
that the alliance will never indorse the
democratic party.
While the people of the south must
, thus work out their own salvation from
the power of monopoly, they must be
held responsible for any further delay
of the results of the conflict in which
we are engaged In common. United
the west and the south are invincible
Inc west Is READY Tor Such union Inc
south will swing into line in good time
The refusal of the old parties to sup
port alliance measures viii force them
to make q stand, and there is absolute
~ no shadow of doubt as to what that
stand win be. An unequivocal declara-
ton of the Cincinnati conference, if
made in the proper spirit, will hasten
the revolution in the south. There
should be no ambiguity about that
declaration 1t is full time that we un-
derstand each other. and the action of
