THE LATE ELECTIONS.
An AIlianceman View of What
the Result Signifies.

look and think what is there for It's III
the fuliillmcut of the late elections
and of the political workings of the
administration ut Washington of re-
cent times preceding and since the
3rd of this month. And what of the
situation abroad, as it affects lis now
and NAV affect us in '92? 1t shows
plainly that the money powers have
sized up the situation. 1t should
clearly indicate that the moneyed
men will not trust the Democratic
party. and that from hencoforth every
effort will be put forward to elect Il
Republican President in 1892.
DO you ask why? Does not Camp
bells defeat i'll Ohio point which way
the wind will blow? The election of
Flower does not signify, nor does
that of Russell. There was 10 qucs-
ton at stake there of importance to
the coming presidential campaign.
But when we look abroad and see the
fine Italian hand of Secretary of State
Blaine in his reciprocity dealings with
England and Germany and his at
tempt with France. and his furry with
Chill to withdraw public attention
from his bargain with the European
powers, by which the Northwest Is
assured of Il market for all its sur
plus. and thus being brought back
into the fold of the G. .. p, then we
begin to see. The Alliance men there
will be assured that they are provided
for and all dissatisfaction will be i'll .
layed and the battle ground will again
be New York, Indiana and the solid
South against the rest. The silver
question will be arbitrated and the
four little silver States bought up
and bound over. And the corruption
fund will be distributed in the Soutli
to induce the old political hacks who
claim to be the leaders of the Demo
cratic party, into persecution of the
Alliance and il refusal of their de-
mands. PlutocratIc friends will en-
JOY themselves for season and men
claiming to be Democrats will gather
in the spoils for disrupting the true
Democratic party.
This is the outlook and it is time
that we begin to set our houses in
order. The agricultural products of
the South have been deprecated in
value until they cease to pay eX-
penscS. And now we will have the
next year to pay more for our prOvi-
sions than heretofore, inaSmnch as
Europe will compete with us in buy
ing the products of the Northwest.
Russia has failed in her rye crop and
Austria is short and the great powers
have turned their hungry eyes thither-
ward for the great armies and even
corn bread will be issued in the sol
dicrs' rations of the mighty East and
the packing houses of Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louis and all that great
hog-raising country will be cmpticd
into the lap of the old world. And
shall we continue to make cotton fol
Z! cents ? Can we live at that rate
Would it not be Il matter of wisdom
and Democracy, too, to begin now to
plant wheat, rye and oats, and look
after the pigs and calves, and house
the old hens?
Can any good come to lis from those
who favored the Force bill ? Some
say that Blaine is Il statesman. We
grant that he is II willy, shrewd poll.
tician, but statcsman-never. His
aim now is to recall the disaffected
Republicans from the Farmers ALI
ance. He knows we'll that the tariff
cannot be reduced for four or 81,
years, at least, and all this hue ant
cry Of the Northern Democracy
against free silver coinage and for
reduction of the tariff is not worth
hill of beans. A statesman we thinl
is one who aims fov the good, til,
welfare of his country, and there il
no promise of good in any of Mr.
Blaine's chess playing.
1t is time that we do a little think
ing for ourselves and try to take il
the situation. Who is it that has es
tablished the plutocracy in power
The Republican party. Who is j
that opposed the free coinage of sill
yer the Republican party. VIII,
is it that upholds the high and robbel
tariff? The Republican party. Whose
friends would he disgruntled by the
Sub Treasury plan of the Farmers
Alliance =? Those of the Republican
party, known as the gold bugs. What
are We? Democrats, and our plat
form means the most good to the most
people, and is embraced in the Ocala
demands of the Farmers Alliance.
BY that we stand or fall, and if there
be one more than an other that we in
tend to cleave to, under all circum-
stances, it is the SUBsTREASURY
PLAN. F.
