Against MOnOpOlies.

At the recent session of the Alliance
state convention in Georgia important
action was taken in opposition to mo-
nopolies. A resolution was offered on
the text book question requesting the
convention to indorse state contract and
state uniformity. The leading speakers
in the convention opposed it as ten
dency toward state monopoly, and Mr..
Moody made a very strong speech, say
ing that the selection of school books
should remain in the hands of the edu-
Gators of the different districts, and that
it should under all circumstances re-
main out of politics; that it had no
more right to become political ques-
ton than had the religion Of the people
Mr. Livingston Endorsed these views,
and the convention rejected the resolu.
ton unanimously. The jute trust ad-
vance of 10 per cent. in prices is already
beginning to stir up the { ria AL
lance men. and there is sure to Je an in
vestigation before long of the peculiar
relations which this trust has established
with the National Union company and

There is small class of farmers, some

whole country, who are taking no part
in the great fight against plutocracy.

bound with ignorance and prejudice
that they cannot work in harmony with
any one. But if they had any conscience
