Tie Il. and can see many of the ma
NEWER. OF the enemy that are not gen.
erai, visible Its warning cry will al
ways bc givco 10 save the people; some
will heed it, others will not II was al
ways thus, and always will be; the
hope of the present is that the majority
will he wise enough TO hear.
Recent events have done much
to develop clear understanding
of the alliance fight with the
old political parties, and 1t should
once for all be understood aud
known that the alliance has no fight To
make on either of the political par
ties its mem bership is drawn from all.
There Is hEht on hand, and "A bitter
one, and it will be waged TO the death
This fights waged by the party machine
of both parties against the Farmers
Alliance Eight millions of dollars is a
very large sum of money, but each of
the party machines uses that sum or
more in each national campaign. II is
well known that they use 1t largely for
corrupt purposes, but the most signih-
cant fact in regard to the whole mat
ter is, where they get It! The facts are
| that they sell the coming administra-
| ton for the money TO carry on the cleo
ton. Both parties do IL, and there is
no hope for an administration in the
interest of the people and reform while
| the machine reigns. Many of the old
line politicians have always committed
their chances Of reelection entirely to
the party machine, and they have
simply done its bidding; they have so
far been successful and cannot con-
ceive of failure; they will fight till they
find themselves in the condition in
which Mr.. Ingalls, describes himself as
now being "a statesman out of job."
The machine is in the saddle and is
pushing the battle. It is well armed
and equipped, and has plenty of the
''sinews of war" (money) for the UNI
equal contest Unequal because the
alliance is not well armed or equipped,
and has nothing but wind for the
''sinews of war" For weeks the ma
chimes have been sending out tons of
literature daily; they have hundreds of
papers to do their bidding and circulate
every lie they choose to start about the
alliance or its officers; they are sub
every day; when they can find an alli-
ance man so base and corrupt as to sell
his principles to them for Wall street
gold and come into the public prints of
the country in opposition to the de-
mands of the order, they lionize him
through all the corrupt bsidized press
CT the country as hero.
The machines have chosen their bat
tie ground in the southern states Their
plans are now fully known, and are
here laid bare TO the gaze of the honest
alliancemen that they may know what
to expect as the machine plan of hostil-
tiles.
1. They will SANDER alliance officers,
national, state, county and primary,
supporting their slanderous lies by the
poor contemplate wretches that are
willing to be traitors to the cause OF
God and posterity, because for lack OF
merit they could not rule there, and
drawing inspiration from the stencil of
their own corruption seek to blacken
and defacc everything they know to be
pure They are well described in the
second chapter of Second Peter, verses
IS to %.
O. They have given orders that every
political primary convention must pass
resolution condemning the alliance
financial demands, and in the event
that a majority OF the convention is un-
willing TO do So then the minority must
bolt and hold n separate convention
which will be recognized and seated by
the county and state machine conven-
tons.
The object of these two lines is to
prosecute the officers and abuse the
people until they are driven into third
party. IL the machine can possibly
bring about this result, then IL will be
done
B. Work negro outrages, subsidize
the press and agitation orators, as well
as private scandals and every other
means known TO corrupt and unscrupu-
lous politicians 10 cripple the new move
for fear of black supremacy. And IL
by means of all that they can beat the
third party in the south they will
4. Herald all through the north that
The alliance in the south has no notion
Of leaving the democratic party; that
they and their officers have been false
to the alliance of the north and never
intend TO quit the old party.
OF course the object of all this is d.
-ision and discord. II the alliance re-
mains unit 1t must soon be supreme,
Therefore they first try to array the
sections against each other.
II is reported in Washington that Mr..
Oates recently said that the attacks on
alliance officers had scarcely yet COM
