The Appeal says: AT
Houston, Miss, yesterday Senator
George spoke nearly four hours, and
was followed by Captain Burkitt, state
lecturer for the alliance, who spoke an
hour and a half At the conclusion OF
the addresses the crowd present. with
only one dissenting voice, adopted reso-
lutions favoring the sub-treasury and
the Ocala demands. 1t seems to be
something of a ground swell.-The Ar

It is we'll that the plutocratic press OF
the entire country is now swelling one
grand chorus Of abuse upon the farmers
alliance. Republican and democrat
alike have buried all their minor differ
ences at the dictatiOn of the lOrdly arls-
tccracy of Wall street. They see now
but one enemy-the brown-faced and
hard handed sons of soil, who are gath
ering in their rights. They cannot do
our cause better service than they are
now doing. Lay on, gentlemen, and
fight the alliance to the death. Let us
see who will die frst.-Dakota Ru-
ralist.
A million children working in the
mines and shops of this country, and
million able bodied men tramplng over
the country in search OF employment
Puny children working all night with
an overseer standing over them with
strap to keep them awake, while strong
men are unable to find employment !!
Women keeping death at bay with their
needles sixteen hours per day, or worse
still compelled to find their bread in
brothels or at the hand of libertine /!
And in the face of all this the pluto

need of political and social re-
form. -Deadwood Independent. q.

effective execution in the ranks OF our
enemies, the entire charge must be
fired at once. This is just what we will
do in the next national campaign. 10
secure the support of The alliance you
must accept the whole load, and not try
and draw any part of it. TO nominate
Cleveland on tariff reform alone would
be but flash in the pan, for not enough
votes would be knocked down to elect
him.-Toiler, Nashville, TENN
There never was a time when this
government could redeem it's paper.
All this talk that the government is
able to redeem its obligations in gold is
simply nonsense. There is not half
enough gold in the United States today
to redeem its paper circulation, and it
will not be redeemed. 1t will not be
redeemed because the people don't want
it redeemed. They are satisfied with
paper money, but the one thing they

people enough of it, and there will be
no use for gOld.-The Peoples Journal
