ALLIANCE NOTES.
Which is cheaper, money at one per;
cent or fifteen per cent per annum?
Study the sub-treasury plan and find
out how to get cheap money.-Southern
Mercury.
To the plutocrats: Are your in
structions to henchmen to weaken the
alliance by false charges against
prominent members, pay dirt?-Na-
tional Economist.
If there was ever any doubt as to
the relation of U. S. Hall to the plu-
tocrats their howl of rage at his defeat
has dissipated it. They don't whine
when an enemy falls-Alliance Tri-
bune.
1t must be trife lonesome for the
opponents of the sub-treasury plan as
the news OF the unanimous Endorsement
1t has received from the several state
alliances that have been held is brought
to their notice.
Watch the man who is, in his own
estimation, the only white sheep in the
every body else. You will generally
find that he is wolf hidden under
sheepskin. = Journal of Knights of
Labor
The Charleston News and Courier,
and other papers of that ilk, are BOOM
ing the democratic anti-sub-treasury
meeting to be held soon at st. Louis.
1t will, no doubt, receive the hearty
support of the Topeka Capital and New
York Tribune. Economist.
There will be fusion in 1892. It
will be fusion of the two o. P.-the
G. O. P. and the d. O. P. (never mind
what the D stands for). Just as sure
as the sunlight quivers on the white
marble summit of Blaine's hopes, so
sure will there be two parties in 1892
the peoples avengers and the Wall
street puppets. West.
The Ohio state gathering of the
Knights of Labor undertook to get the
republican party pledged to definite re-
forms and failed. AS a consequence
they pronounced fat-footed for the
peoples party! That is good news
and we trust they will work solidly
with the new party until humanity is
enthroned, and the gold-bug put under
the chair. West.
The Wisconsin state alliance adopt
cd the Ocala demands and voted to
submit the question whether the secret
work of the National Alliance and In
dustrial Union should be adopted to the
subordinate bodies, the majority of
subs. reporting by September to decide.
So it is seen that another state seems
to be prepared to join the column at
Indianapolis in Observation-Disclosures
Economist.
The Appeal-Avalanche says if
Macune ''desires an exciting expert
ence he should go to South Carolina and
undertake a joint debate with Gov.
Tillman." Ben Terrell had that Tex
citing experience" with Tillman before
the state alliance few weeks back.
At the close of che debate that body
without dissenting vote Endorsed the
Ocala demands in full Maybe Till
man shared some of the exciting ex-
perience" on that occasion. Weekly
Toiler.
For more than year a scheme has
been secretly planned to put the state
militia under the direction and pay of
the war department The regular and
militia officers, as far as heard from,
favor the scheme. Of late we have
heard much said about Capitalization
and paternalism. In this proposition
we have it in it's worst form. The Mer-
curry suggests that the people watch
this movement closely. as there is I'M

Don't be fooled by the old bugbear
fraud about taking eighty cents worth
of silver to the government and getting
one dollar for tin case of free coin
age. The statement is sent out by the
geld-bugs as known lie. Under free
coinage the silver would again resume
its normal price (one-fourth cent pre-
MUM in gold), and every man who
bought silver would pay one dollar for
81 grains-not eighty cents It would
be worth more because of greater use
Just the same as gold, butter, tooth
picks, onions or cowhides. Demonetize
etize it, and up it goes. Same with
every Uu1uS clSc LII Cuc case O1 silver,
the prices of all produce would rise in
value to slight extent, owing to re-
lief in the money market Under ''free
coinage" the government does not buy
any silver whatever.-Great West
