in adopting the Ocala resolution does not
commit that body or the Dem

The Alliances in North and South
Dakota are doing we'll. The order has
done great good in these states, as
thousands outside the membership bear
willing testimony. These two states
have been fortunate in their selection of
officers, and have reaped the benefit of
an able press. There is unity of feeling
and action throughout the order. Taken
as whole the order in these states is a
source of qualification to all who believe
in the final triumph of the principles of
the Alliance. Many staunch supporters
of the order have been developed in these
states. and the work of education is being
vigorously carried on. The Dakotas. are
able and willing Ito stand in the front
ranks, and beat the heat and. burden
of the conflict.

The Alliance in Alabama is progressing
finely The character of the opposition
has been such as to make unity and per-
slstency necessary to success. The hreth
rem have realized this fact, and right
nobly have they come up to the mark.
The order in that State has always enjoy
ed the benefits which c. me from excellent
State officers, supported by an able and
fearless press. President Adams is all
that could be asked, and the State organ.
the Alliance Herald, is one of the best
Alliance papers published. In fact the
brethren of Alabama are having an era
of prosperity, and they have earned it,
With every one working in harmony, and
an intelligent press, nothing short of this
condition could we be expected.

be afforded by the sub-treasury flexible

ing medium, by those who would profit
by it, in fictitious addition to the pur-
chasing power of the almighty dollar,
Without this the money KINGS could and
would, at the right time, call in all the
money they could control, lock it up.
and in this way throw down prices and
fix their own rates on money. With the
sub-treasury in force they would be pow
erless to do this, and would not attempt
it. Hence the general circulating medium
would remain out in the ordinary ave-
nues of trade, and the periodical strin-
gencv would not /be felt whenever Wall
street saw proper to tighten the purse
strings of the nation. It would forever
break the grip of Wall street on the
financial situation, and, knowing this,
they employ every possible agency, fair,
foul and malicious, to accomplish its
defeat.
