sentation in higher bodies.
In regard to lecturing the president re.
feIs 10 its great Importance; praises
State Lecturer Talbert highly: says that
be has been ''hatteringly endorsed" by
the order, but has been unable to meet
the demands made upon him. The de-
mands are increasing, and National
Lecturer Terrell has been engaged for a
series Of lectures, covering each county
during the late summer and fall.
Recommendation is made for the pro-
vision OF d lecturer to be constantly in
the neld, armed with literature sent out
by tue proposed propaganda bureau. He
would not only enlighten the people, but
fund into the treasury.
The interest of the Alliance in Glenn
sou College is stated, and it is praise as
''the noblest possible monument t. the
intelligence, benevolence and patriot
ism OF its projectors.
Under the head of the outlook" the
address continues:
"Despite the wonderful results
wrought so far in all the fields of ALI
ance work directly, and indirectly in the
political field, the signs OF the times
point to the tact that the supreme test
is at hand along financial and political
lines-e1lsting parties apparently pitch
their fight npon the financial field.
Strange to Say that party which profit
ed most last year by the educative forces
of the Alliance, and which should by
every token have least to lose by educa-
tive force, is most bitter in its antagon-
ism, If we are to rely upon the utterance
Of some OF the leaders and newspaper ex-
Founders. There is every evidence of
massing of forces before the financial
demands of the order. Foes within
and foes without have been marshalled
for a supreme struggle.
Gas intelligent men it bshoves us to
consider all the conditions and bear our
selves as men. The past is inspiring, the
prospect though stormy, is inviting.
The issues have been made up fairly
and joined between the monopolistlc
element Of our population, on the one
hand, and the masses Of the people on
the other-whether the masses or the
classes shall control the government
whether the iniquitous financial system
devised and fastened upon this country
by Wall and Lombard streets shall
stand and continue to rob the people"
The assertion is made that 1.-The perpe-
tuity of free institutions is hanging in
the scale with corrupt and degenerate
plutocracy.'
Assurance is Given that the other
classes are coming to join the Alliance.
Columbia with lIS 100000 debt,
and Charleston with its $4,000, 600 debt,
are directly interested in routing this
robber hand that is taking out Of their
pockets So for every 81 loaned them
twenty-five years ago. The whole peo-
pie OF this State are equally interested
in removing the abomination of an Ash
ley Junction at the gate of our charm
Ing metropolis by the sea, and in the
disruption Of the blighting corporate
hand that has our beautiful capital city
by the throat. The 'bottling up Of a
peoples capital or metropolis for the
qualification Of corporate greed or
spleen should be forever impossible in a
free country"
The money trust" it's alleged, will
resort to extreme measures" and the in
crease of private detectives, military
establishments" new barracks COM
manding New York and Chicago are
cited in support of the declaration.
The issues are irrepressible," and
'from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from
kamschatka to the Florida straits they
confront the individual citizen. 1t will
take the whole people to solve them in a
peaceful way"
The finale of the address is:
Brethren, let us knit our brother
hood together with closer stitch, and
then reach out our hands to our fellow
citizens of all classes who love liberty
and will stand for Its maintenance
