ing has been let, and when com
pleted it will BE- without exception

class we have. Now as to the
farmers going into politics, building
a party upon class, we have to say
that the Peoples party is not neces-
sarily confined to the Alliance, and
neither are members of the Alliance

Food Supply.

One Of the city plutocratic pa
pers, in commenting on the grow
ing population Of the world, and
probable decreased supply of food.
remarks that "the people will have
to eat less" which, of course, means
that the people who are poor, and
are now economizing to the verge
of starvation, will need to still fur
Their economic. 1t never occurred
to the able and humane editor that
people might drink less. Suppose
that all the grain and fruit that is
now converted into drink was used
as God intended it should be used
as food; and suppose that plutoc-
racy was forced to economic as
the poor now economize, and the
question of food supply would be
SO remote as to be very safely left
to future generations. But then
what is the use Of supposing, for
when any wise thought or humane
sentiment proceeds from plutocratic
sources, the dawning of the millen-
mum will be near at hand.

Dun's Trade Review.

We find in Dun's- trade review
that, inasmuch as the farmers are
not buying as much in certain lines,
they must be paying off their
mortgages. Dun's trade review is
another illustration of the Stiffness
of the men who profess to furnish
news, and manufacture public senti-
ment. 1t is always preclaiming a
bright outlook for business, and
always shows an ever-increased
failing of business men, either as to
number, or amount of liabilities.
Not content with disappearing
business, it enlarges it's field, and
comes to the aid of the land loan
companies, Wall street and the
railroad attorneys. Of course
farmer who could not pay off
mortgage with 6Ocent flax, l-2-
cent beef, and 2 l-2-cent pork, is
not much of a fnancier. Dun will
please inform the people what be-
comes of all the vast amount of
money that has been taken in in
payment of mortgages. 1t is not
being invested in land, building or
manufactures, or railroads. Are the
money-lenders keeping the dear
child at home to coddle it?

The Democrats Of Kansas already
appreciate their mistaks. A Tope-
ka dispatch says: Leading Dem
ocratic politicians have urged a
combination with the Peoples par
ty on the state ticket next fall,
promising in exchange the Demo-
cratic vote for the Peoples electoral
ticket. DR.. McLallin, editor of the
Alliance Advocate, said that the
Peoples party would not fuse. We
are not afraid of the Democrats in
1892. They cannot vote with the
Republicans in presidential year,
and the returns from the county
elections show that the Peoples
party polled larger per cent. of
the total vote this fall than it did
last. S. M. Scott, Alliance state
lecturer, said that he had talked
with many of the Democratic poll
ticians, all Of whom regretted that
the Democrats had voted with the

The .sLever' and Peoples Party.

The Ottawa Lever thinks the
Peoples party has gone to pieces,
like an old tub, and gives as reasons
the advocacy of the land loan and
sub-treasury principles. The Lever
also prints the tiresome drivel Of
the 6. o. p. papers, recommending
the Alliance to not form a political
party. In answer it may be said
that gain Of straight votes in the
state, equal to ten per cent, does
not indicate either age or going to
pieces; and as to the land loan and
sub-treasury being class Legislation,
the Lever is simply mistaken. Glass
Legislation is Legislation that bene-
fits one class at the expense of an
other class. For the government to
loan to farmers, taking their land as
security, is not imposing on, or ex-
acting anything from, any other
class, since the money asked for
would not be raised by taxation, as
is the case now. The interest The
farmers would pay the government
would help detray expenses, thus
lessening taxation, so government
burdens would actually be made
lighter for other classes. Again,
the farmers are generally in debt,
result, largely brought about by
class legislation, and unfair burdens
imposed by other classes. A land
loan would enable the mortgaged
farmer to pay off his mortgage, be-
cause the rate of interest would be
low, and in keeping with returns, or
farm profits. Out of debt, places
the farmer on basis of prosperity,
and prosperity for ths farmer means
prosperity for the whole community.
Thus, indirectly, the land loan
would benefit all classes, except the
monsy-lender, who, under present
conditions, is the only prosperous

Railroad ATTORNEYS.

History has furnished many ex-
amples of devotion to country, of
unselfsh patriotism. The Pharaohs
saved Egypt the Nebbuchadnez-
Ears saved Babylon the King Sol
onions saved Israel; the Caesars
saved Rome; and France has been
saved several times by the Napo-
Icons but for pure, unauthorized
saving. we commend the salvation
of Kansas by the railroad attorneys.
Of course Kansas is worthy of the
great effort, and the toll, and the
sweat, and gall, and tobacco, and
whisky, and lies of the railroad at
torneys are well bestowed; and
sometime a great monument will be
erected to the memory of the men
who, when the railroads and loan
companies were in imminent dam
ger, rushed to the rescue, bearing
aloft in one hand, a bloody shirt
banner, and in the other, the legend,
"Falsehood."

Law in Chicago.

Recently the Chicago police
broke up meeting of laborins
people, and arrested some twenty @
the most prominent men ii
the assembly. The excuse givel
for the high-handed outrage il
that the meeting was composed 0
anarchists. The action of the pc
lice has been roundly denounced by
large gatherings of working people
and steps have been taken to form {
new labor party, which, if carried
out, will fight both the old parties
Mayor Washburne was also con
demned, as also the Republican city
government. The president Of the
Grades and Labor Union" defend
ed the Republican city government
but so strong was the feeling
against him that he resigned, and
his resignation was accepted on the
spot. Some of the speakers ridi.
culed the city government, and
suggested that the mayor prohibit
the wearing or exhibitingof the color
red, even to red flannel underwear.
1t is needless to say that the labor
ing people have exhibited a com
mendable spirit in resenting the
outrage. The time is come when,
if labor is to retain even the sem
blance of freedom, it must thor
oughly organize for the purpose OF
selfprotection. The policy of the
plutocrats has been to create a sur
plus of labor, so as to place the
labcrer in the power of capital, then
the grinding process began. Labor
became disconnected, and the capt.
alist actually fomented Incorporate
speeches and strikes, paying men
who protested to the friends of the
laborer large sums of money to
bring on confiict-always placing
the laborer in the light of a lawless
and dangerous citizen. By such
methods vast amount of hatred
has been engendered in the agricul-
tural communities, and among the
class so far removed from the scene
as to be unable to discover the real
facts. 1t is, from the standpoint
of plutocracy, crime for the labor
er to even demur to their doings.
Plutocracy assumes vast superior
ity, hauteur and hatred of men who
live by the sweat of their brow. In
no city is this spirit So prevalent as
in Chicago. The law is for the
rich. Poverty and degradation for
the poor.
