Gold is not money; silver is not
money; copper is not money; nickel is
not money; paper is not money, until
they are made such by law. Intrinsic
value has no more to do with money
than the weight of a hog has to do with
pork Pittsburgh Kansan.
The moment loans from the gov
eminent shall be granted upon the i'm
proved lands of the country, that mo-
ment the lands will be in demand.
Every body will find it desirable to
have property that is good security for
q government loan. The land-loan
scheme is the ''sheet anchor" of all our
hopes Every intelligent farmer will
stand by it.-St Louis Monitor.
The alliance is fast learning that,
with kindred organizations, they have
5000, 600 voting strength. When they
come in full possession of the idea,
when they comprehend the full signifi-
canoe of voting together for the Ocala
platform, a cyclone of votes will come
from the great common people that will
sweep from power the bosses and cor
porate thieves that have so long ruled
the nation to it's great hurt. They are
getting together. All hail the glorious
day!-Dakota Ruralist
Foraker is confidently expecting to
succeed Sherman as United States
senator from Ohio, and Foraker will
be certain not to do it. Sherman, Fos-
ter and Foraker are three aspirants,
not one of whom will be in the United
Sherman. Who will succeed Sherman
is not now known, but he will be some
republican in accord with the alliance
demands. That is all the alliance con-
tended for in Ohio, and it won it,

Senator Plumb says the peoples
party is dead! Look out. granger and
city toiler. These utterances of the
plutes are to discourage. They are
lies of the lowest stamp. The peoples
party lives-it will live until it has
tossed the carcass of the present fnan-
cial system into nil It will live until
every dealer of money becomes no
longer a debt-creator by it's method of
existence, but debt-lifter. It will
live till ten million stomachs are no
longer belted with silk sash, woven
by the hands of toll to deck the rotund
bodies of money-dealers. It will live
until he who produces will be the
measurer of profits. 1t will live until
the toilers' children can rise into the
higher in life. Listen not to the lies of
the aristocracy. They are the rifle
pits of the old order of despotism. Let
Humanity" and justice be the breast
work of the new order. West.
HE that laughs last laughs BEST" is
an old but true adage, and particularly
applicable to the result of the elections
in Kansas. AS the official returns come
in the fact is proven beyond doubt
that the peoples party has not only
held its own, but has actually made
gains all over the state The vote as
accredited to the peoples party last
year was larger than the peoples party
vote this year, but the fact that the
peoples party vote last year was aug
mented by democratic votes is studious-
ly avoided in the comparisons made
this year by old party organs and poll
ticians. This, of course, is done to
create the impression that there has
been an actual falling off of the peo-
ple's vote, when the real truth is that
the new party has made gains every
where, and the best evidence of this
fact is that it required com bination of
both old parties to make showing as
one -Topeka (Kan. Alliance Tribune.
There are several surprises in store
for the country by the legislatures
elected Tuesday of last week, in which
the alliance members of the United
States senate will be increased. The
news does not crop out in the asso-
ciated press dispatches, but it is in
volved in the results and will develop
at the proper time. Those who sup
pose that alliancemen were mapping
during the progress of these campaigns
will be undeceived at the proper time.
The alliance mem bership in the recent
elections attended strictly to business.
While the leaders were busy whooping
up the hayseeders, they were also busy
fixing to capture the legislatures and
to secure the election of senators who
will be in accord with their demands
for relief and their purposes to be put
on an equality with all other vocations
and businesses, where there. will be
''equal rights to all and special favors
to none" That they have succeeded
beyond the roseate expectations Of
their friends is a source of congratula-
ton and Joy. It may be confidently
expected, as a result of the elections
last week, that three, if not four,
United States senators will be secured
in accord with the farmers movement.
Slowly but surely the onward march
of right and justice is assured to those
whose labors are founded in faith and
urged in the fear and admonition of the
Lord. Montgomery (Ala) Alliance
Herald.
