To those who attend the Cincinnati
conference the Courier wishes to say,
Look out for the resolutions! Stand by
the St Louis platform, upon which our
grand party is founded. Stand true to
western principles and the welfare OF
the masses.-Lebo (kan.) Courier.

alliance demonstrates more fully than
before the soundness and justice OF

cific Union.
The alliance meeting at Waco,
Tex, which convened Tuesday, April
81. had 800 delegates present the first
day. BY a standing vote the body
unanimously indorsed Brothers Macune
and Tracy amid deafcning cheers. So
it proves that Texas will keep in the
middle of the road
-Between the political schemes OF
the so-called commercial congress and
the boomers of the Cincinnati meeting
the alliance will be sorely tried Trick
cry on the one hand and Overzealous-
ness on the other must be met with
firm determination to consider well be-
fore every act-National Economist
Outside of the States of Missouri
and Mississippi the alliance is having a
general boom. Texas is just now ex-
pcrieucing a revival, while North and
South Carolina are doing splendidly.
Private advices from Georgia shows
that the order is stronger, more united
and determined than ever.-Economist.
This fact is becoming more and
more apparent each day that if the two
old parties want to get rid of the sub
treasury plan they must bring out
something better. The people will not
consent to be longer bumbugged by
such men rs Mills and Horr, who have
nothing but the tariff to offer.-Ex-
change.
Have You formed n Citizens Alli-
ance in your town? If not, why not?
Why amt You taking a hand in this
fight? Do you suppose that the enemy
is lying idle that way? Not bit of it
He is like usury. He works while we
work. He works while we sleep He
has no Sunday. He is everlastingly at
work. National Citizens Alliance.
Among the labor organizations care
full observation has shown, during the
past two months, a decidedly strong
feeling in favor of a new political party,
to be composed of the industrial classes
as opposed to the monopolists- All
reference toindependcnt political action
has been received almost invariably
with hearty applause.-Boston Labor
World.
The workingmen and farmers are
becoming apt learners in the school of
political economy. and have advanced
so far that they can plainly see that un-
der the present systems they need ex-
pect no improvement in their conditions
worth speaking of. They will gradu-
ate in 1892, and declare, at the ballot
box, that things must be changed.-Ex-
change.

state alliances, President Polk and
Lecturer Willetts attended district

The F. & L. u. of the Twelfth dis
trict, at its recent session at Clinton,
resolved to support no man for Office,
county, state or national, who did not
indorse the Ocala demands. The But
Ter Union was adopted as official dis

lecturers of the district at Nevada, the
first Monday in June, was recommend

We don't believe in metal money.
The metal calf has stood in the wilder
ness and been the object of our worship
too long. But if we have metal money
at all, give us free coinage of all kinds
Metal, being commercial commodity
of great value, don't figure in favor of
one kind and against another, SO that q
lot of pirates can absorb the earnings
of industry.-Dakota Knights of Labor.
From indications, which any man
should be able to discover, it is safe to
predict that the impending revolution
will take more active shape within the
next eight months than at any time in
the history of the reform movement
BY the time of the meeting of the grand
council, next November, the alliance
will have got together, and will be in
active cooperation with kindred asso-
Citations of wealth producers Then
the work will be easy.-National Econ
Omist.
in one of the rooms of the census
Office in Washington are to be seen alb
stracts of nine millions of mortgages
which hang like an Internal incubus
over the homes and farms and business
of this country. And yet, when the
farmers organize to secure from the
government the fair play that is neces-
sary to enable them to clear off these
mortgages some of the impudent pa
pers of the old parties say that they do
not know what they want-Nat,onal
