Farmers Weekly: The position of
chaplain in the Alliance is not one of
the least Importance. If we believe in
the existence of Supreme Ruler, as
we all have made oath upon entering
the gates of the order, we must also
believe that His dominion extends
over all temporal affairs, that he over
rules the nations, and that only by ad-
herring to principles of right in His
sight can there be real success. Every
chaplain should be an exemplary man,
true disciple of Christ man whose
character is untainted. Observe. the
religious exercises of the order in a
reverential manner. Let the Divine
hand lead US. Trust in Him as did the
sturdy old Cromwell who in Gods
narae, gave England her liberties, and
in all our acts may we be able to dis
Germ the right and say as did that old
Farmer Of St. Ives" God is with
u.s."

The Alliance.

The Oregon Alliance says: The
great reform movement has had for
one of its aims the humiliation of Sec
tionalism and sectional prejudice. 1t
has almost accomplished this object,
and now for the first time in third of
a century this is united country in
fact as we'll as in name People from
the different sections are wanting to
exchange ideas and views and come
together in one great fraternal unity
for the preservation of liberty and
beneficient public institutions. Appli-
cations and requests are being received
and are on file in the national presi-
dents Office, from western northern
states for southern speakers to be sent
among them, and from the south for
speakers from among their northern
and western brethren. Cordial hand
shakes and glorious welcomes are
awaiting the men who will soon be
going from one section to another to
verify the unity of the people. which,
it was declared by the Alliance, should
prevail in this broad land; and this
great uniting of the people is being
viewed with frothing rage by those
paptisans and sectionalists who have
spent a quarter of century in trying
to promote hatred between the Sec
tions of what should be, can be and
must be the greatest country on the

The Signs Of the Times.

The farmers of Missouri are so dis
gusted with the work of the last Iegis-
lature that the politicians of both the
old twins are quaking in their boots.
Every day brings fresh proof that they
cannot be divided any longer by the
schemes of the old party Bosses the
reform within the old parties racket
is played out; they have tried it and it
has proved miserable failure. The
farmers are ripe for Independent poll
teal action. They know that they
will never get justice through either
of the old parties who are both owned
and controlled by the money power;
they cannot be fooled any longer.
Those who have been Boosting that
they will be able TO control the Ali
ance vote in 1892, and stand in the
way of progress as they did last fall,
will find out that they have .Teckoned
without their host. "-Bevier (Mo.)

An Important Pointer.

The sub-treasury plan is being hotly
contested both North and South, not
because it is the only demand of the
Alliance that is objected to- but for the
reason that by making 1t prominent an
impression can be made that the bal
ance of the demands are unobjectiona-
BILE. Strange to say, many good men,
bers of the Alliance are led to believe
that the politicians as rule would be
willing to consent to all the demands
of the Alliance excepting the SUBJ
treasury plan. This is an error. There
is but one demand at the outside that
they are in favor of in the whole list.
The time has come when this false DO
sition should be exposed. The Econo-
mist would ask the brethren. to cut out
the following list of questions and get
their congressman, senators Or other
prominent politicians 70 answer them
and send them in for publication. Let
the answers be plain yes or no, and be
sure to get them right. Let the name
and address of the sender be plainly
written on the list

tional banks? Yes or no.

3. Do you favor government loans

4. Do you favor an increase of cur

gress? Yes or no.
6. Do you favor the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver? Yes or no.
Z. Dc you favor laws prohibiting
alien ownership of land? Yes or no.
8. Do you favor laws that will take
from railroads and other corporations
all lands now held in excess OF their
actual wants, and under some equitable
provision place them again in possess
sion of the government, there to be
held for actual settlers only? Yes or
no.

present tariff from the necessaries of
lifep Yes or no.
10. Do you favor a graduated in

TRUTH FOR ONCE.
A Republican Paper Actually Sees
Straight.

Straight.
The Champion was almost dumb
founded with surprise the other day,
to find in that phenomenally stalwart
partisan organ, the Emporia Republi-
can, the truthful statement that the
Farmers Alliance is mot short crop
organization. The Republican shows
at some length that in the poorest
crop years Kansas has known of late,
as in ~ and '88, the Republican ma
jorities were larger than ever before,
and that in the greatest crop year the
state ever knew-1889, the Alliance
was organized. It says lit was not
drouth or chinch bugs, but ten cent
corn-an abundant crop and insignif-
cant prices" that gave birth to the
Alliance. And in these statements the
Republican tells the exact truth as far
as it goes.
The Alliance is not the product of
poor crops, and hence the prospective
big crops of the present year will not
operate to destroy the movement.
And, even the better than usual prices
will be realized for farm products this
year will not arrest this movement,
for the simple reason that it is a great
popular, peoples movement; it is the
revolt of the farmers and the common
working people of the country against
the brutal dominance of plutocracy-
the government by the rich, and an
irrepressible determination on the
part of the masses of the people to
take the control of governmental af-
fairs into their own hands.
Being thus an organized revolt
against that powerful and remorseless
foe to our liberties-plutocracy-the
Alliance, despite the faetof temporary
prosperity produced by causes which
plutOcrats could not control, causes
which grow largely out of crop short
ages in other countries. will continue
in the even tenor of its way until the
Best purposes of its organization are
fully accomplished in one form or an
other.
Ridicule, satire. misrepresentation
abuse, SANDER and lying will not avail
to arrest this great movement of the
common people toward the assertion
of their right to administer govern
ment and to pass such laws as they
deem wise and necessary. -Atchison

JUST LOOK At THIS.
The WhY and the Wherefore OF . Mixing
of Truth.

The WHY and the Wherefore OF Mixing
Of Truth.
We are sorry, indeed, that any Of
otr neighbors should 50 GTist the
truth as to spoil its beauty and make it
appear to be something else, but from
the reading of the clipping given below
we must infer that our neighbor. the
Echo, has been misled as to facts.
Here is what he says: 1.-The Knight
of Labor wants eight hours work and
the farmer works from sun up to sun
down. The Knight of Labor wants the
pension list to grow, the farmer wants
it wiped out. The farmer wants free
trade. the Knight Of Labor wants pro-
lection. There is no community OF
interests between them and this is why
the farmer is Democrat and does not
want third party, and why the
Knight of Labor persists in efforts to
build up a third party" The imagin-
airy difference between the Alliance
and the Knights of Labor is about the
same as the difference between six, and
half dozen. Anybody who knows
anything about the principles of the
Knights of Labor knows that the above
is about as much misrepresentation
of them as could be encouched in as
many words. If Bro. Tate will take
the time and trouble to read the K.
of L. demands; he will find more pure
Democratic sentiments expressed
therein than he can compile from all
the Democratic platforms since the war.
The reason that the third party ques-
ton is agitating the minds of the
people is because the Republican and
the Democratic party has refused to
promulgate the principles of demo-
cracy. The K. of L. and Farmers
Alliance people having been forced to
organize under the veil of secrecy in
order to mature a platform of princi-
pies and set forth demands for such
legislation as will give to the humblest
tiller and toiler the same recognition
by the government as the most prince
ly lord of wealth; having done so it
remains to be seen whether or not the
old parties will cease pandering
to the whims of Wall street for Doodle
and take up the demand of the people
as proclaimed at St. Louis and re-af-
firmed at Ocala, Or whether people
will of necessity be compelled to or
ganize a third party. One thing is
certain, the Knights of Labor and the
Alliance have shaken hands ON the
Ocala platform and no amount of side
shows or misrepresentation will cause
division, weaken their faith in each
other or effect a compromise or sur
render of principles. Alliance Vim

These figures can be taken only as
approximate, owing in part to the fact
that accurate figures regarding the
coinage of some countries, as, for ex-
ample, China, are not available, and
in part to the fact that there may be
some errors in the reduction of the
cOinages to common denomination.
