reckons such matters, for he could not have
been more than 81 or 81, but the bronzed

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
What Was Discussed at a Meeting OF
County Alliance.

What Was Discussed at a Meeting OF
County Alliance.
Editor Morning Call: The Farmers
Alliance aims to do that hitherto Impossible
thing in American politics, to elect the pest
man for the place regardless of party.
1t is the greatest movement of the klnd
that has taken place within the past forty
wears. Its foundations are upon the opih-
ions of the body of the people. SuO-alll-
IN ces in the towns are organized which
meet about twice month; county alliances
meet once in three mont rs, and are COM
posed of delegates from the suo-alAances :,
State alliances meet once in SIX months, anu
are composed OF certain number OF dele
gates from the sub and county organizations
Il is impossible in mixed body OF people
not to find crude or wild ideas, but in the
main the subjects for discussion are those
which are of the gravest Importance. Inc
scheme of the order is such that the same
subjects, as near as possible, are discussed
throughout the State The politics OF the
State are so universally in the hands of pro-
fessional politicians that the country people
at large have com to regard their own local
offices of primal importance. principally be
cause it has been impossible for them TO
have the slightest influence in State govern
ment.
That all this is changed in an Eastern
State or so has been noted most emphatically
the past few weeks. That it IS only mat
ter Of time when 1t will be changed here Is
undOubted.
Membe<s of our Legislatures or of Con-
gress are being carefully watched, and as
they work for the people now so Will the
people work for them later. Party lines are
forgotten Democrats and Republicans have
joined hands in this body TO accomplish the
passage of laws which shall benefit the peO-
pie as a mass without enrlching the pockets
Of few. There is also a plan of cO-opera-
tive buying which aims to do without mid
dlemen, but it seems to find little favor as
yet with California Alliances.
A few of the bills or subjects discussed at
recent county alliance meeting will give a
fair idea of the drIfE or tifC . n q "a
