An Appeal to All True Men of the Allianc
Keep Up the Good Fight.
Extract from a letter written by the
Missouri state lecturer:
keep up the good fight; it is on for
'92. Monopoly is scared out of it's
boots; they are vainly trying to read
the handwriting on the wall and they
have deciphered just enough to under
stand that if the farmers organization
is success, they must go under; and
they are now searching every corner of
human ingenuity for new inventions
and everything that can be invented bv
devils or men will be used to disinte-
CRATE the union. That they have their
agents in our ranks, there is no ques-
ton; and, like the serpent in the gar
den, they will catch and lead astray the
unsuspecting, and will get the unions
to take extreme steps without mature
deliberation- Watch out for them; be
careful as to extremes in either direc-
ton, but firm, keep right in the mid
die of the road" onward to victory on
the alliance principles; do not concede
one inch or principle to any set of men,
party politicians, Office hunters OF
enemies in the order. Stand square to
our noble order and the principles it
advocates Those principles are the
salvation of our American independ-
ence, and if any political party stands
in the way of having those principles or
demands enacted into law, walk over
it; it is detriment to the prosperity of
the country, it would be better to wipe
it out of existence. Watch as well as
pray Remember jefferson, Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty

A Sudden Conversion of Cleveland Demo
crats-WalI Street Inhuences

crats-Wan Street Influences.
Our purpose is to hold squarely before
the public gaze the trail of our crawfish-
ing journals and politicians. When
Cleveland had the effrontery to dispute
the democratic party's silver tenets a
great protest was emitted simultaneous
ly from every quarter of the country,
Just how the rabbit foot has been oper-
ated will be one of the political mys-
teries- The newspapers, especially of
the south, administered stinging re-
Dukes to Mr.. Cleveland and advised the
search for presidential timber with the
true democratic silver idea a change of
heart has somehow come about. They
first made their charge, then period of
quiet i1action, and now they are square
ly under the banner of Cleveland and
the tariff" If one man can halt the
aggressive thought of a suffering peo-
pie, hold it at his bidding and direct it
in his own selfish channel, then, in
deed, Americanism is bridled. If
through great agent of Wall street
the public press can be first silenced
and then commanded, what may the
people expect? Cleveland has at least
made one mistake as politician. He
should have put the quietus on these
newspapers before he wrote his anti
silver letter. That is, he should not
have subjected them to the humiliation
of swimming back mp the stream under
the jeers of an honest thinking public.

THE CINCINNATI CONFERENCE.
President Polk's Paper Thinks the WorI
Was Necessary and Was Admirably Per

President Folks Paper Thinks the Work
Was Necessary and Was Admirably Per-
formed.
The conference which met in Cincin-
natl resolved itself into new political
party under the name of the peoples
party. This action, we understand,
was taken with unanimity and great
enthusiasm. Substantially the de-
those of kindred organizations were
adopted as platform. OF course it is
too early to predict the effects of this
action upon the existing political par
ties of the country. But it is clear that
whatever necessity existed for the
formation of this new party was cre-
ated by the two great parties which
have been hitherto conducting the busi-
ness of the public administrations The
interests of the masses have not only
been studiously ignored by those who
have shaped public policies, but
those interests have been wicked
ly legislated against for years
and years. This resistance of
the just demands Of the people for rec
ognition and relief has been so long
continued that many persons have be-
come convinced that no relief of the
situation can be secured from existing
parties, and hence the action taken at
Cincinnati the other day. We think the
formation of a third party could have
been prevented by the two old parties
and we think it should have been pre-
vented by conceding their just demands
to the people. But 1t has not been pre-
vented, and those who have been re-
miss in their duty to the people in this
regard will have to front the conse-
quenoes of their failures to do their
duty. We advise our readers to make
calm and thorough study of all the
questions presented, and then take such
action as the prosperity and happiness
of the country may require.
1t will be seen that sentimentalism,
sectionalism and social and theoretical
issues were discarded in the platform,
and it presents live industrial and eco
nomic issues to the people. On several
very important questions, the platform

unanimity and determination which
marked the action of the body must
impress the political student with the
conviction that this movement will be
an important factor in the politics OF
the future.-Raleigh IN. c. Progressive
