The Kansas democrats came out in
an address stating that they cannot
affiliate with the Kansas peoples party.
This, mind you, was after the people 5

The Southern Mercury says: Thirty
days ago wheat was selling at Sl.05 per
bushel; now it is selling at O. cents, and
still going lower. VIII some sleek con-
gresham, whose salary never fluctu-
ates, please explain why this decline,
and how to prevent it?
And now silver is going to England
under orders for purchase. This does
not correspond with Mr. Shernan's
prophecy that America would be the
dumping ground of the silver of Eu-
rope. There is evidently a miscalcula-
ton somewhere
The brethren in Mississippi are con-
tinuing the fight all along the line. No
one need have the least uneasiness
about the unity or growth of the ALI
ance in that state. The mendacity of
the opposition only serves to strengthen
and encourage National Economist
The croakers who wonder how
We'll get the money out" can extract
Washington dispatch that says: 1.-The
government presses are busy getting ont
new issues of bills to send west with
which to handle the new crop" Going
to initiate some, -Nonconformist
The Capitals special from Morris
county, speaking of the judicial cleo
ton, says: The entire republican vote
of the county will undoubtedly be cast
for an independent candidate, as well
rs that part of the democratic strength
that is not in the alliance" II is very
evident that southern rebels are getting
in their work among republicans on: in
Morris county in the interest of the
cmocracy.-Topcka (Kan.) Advocate.
Says the Journal of Agriculture:
"All farmers cannot hold their wheat,
but il those who are able, hold their
wheat, those who have to sell will have
the benefit of the increase in price
just 50. And the journal might have
added that If the sub-trcasury plan
were in operation those who were not
compelled to avail themselves of its
provisions would he equally benefited
with those who did SO avail themselves.
Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, says .sthe
alliance and democratic party will pull
together" Northern republican papers
howl that the alliance is southern
democratic annex. Liston to these en-
dearing pet names applied to southern
afiianceincn by the Montgomery Adver-
tiser, the democratic state organ OF
Alabama: ''Bastards," .mutineers,"
pirates" 'tconspirators'' and trait
ors." The Mobile Register says amen
10 the above. Rather an inharmonious
annex" The pulling together seems
to be over very rocky road.-Weekly

Republican editors should get to-
gcther and come to an understanding
While the Capital is telling its readers
of the solidity of the democratic party
of the south and the futility of the hope
of northern alliancemen that the peo-
pies party will gain any strength
south of Mason and Dixon's line, the
Clay Center Dispatch correctly sizes up
the situation and shows that there is
the same danger of the overthrow of
democracy in the south as of republic
anism in the north. This will never do
Get together, gentlemen, and arrang to
all tell the same story.-Advocate.
Thus far 60 counties have held their
July meetings, and without exception
every one has denounced officially, in
severest terms, the Fort Worth scab-
e-anti-sub-treasury gang. The
scabs palmed off huge fake on the
press outside of the state, by the use of
the telegraph and mails. Thirty-scven,
all told, was the sum total of their
corpuses They dragooned Texas far
and wide and failed to produce cor
porars guard. The subsidized press
blowed and pulled the meeting for all
it was possible. but no one is deceived.

While some of us can hardly re-
-
remnants in the old parties waiting ex-
pectantly for the republican Ethiopian
to change his skin and the democratic
leopard his SPOTS, we cannot help re-
specting even mistaken loyalty to past
traditions. There must, however, be a
limit and an end to such waiting. The
time is at hand when all true men must
shake the dust of the old parties from
their feet and take their places in the
ranks with those whose chosen task it
is to free American industry from its
oppressors. No party attachments or
preferences must be allowed to stand in
the way of this.-Journal of knights of
Labor
President Polk, of the Farmers Al
udnce, WHO HAS just Teturneu from MS
southern tour, said he had been quoted
incorrectly as saying that the great issue
was the tariff and free coinage and that
with these issues the alliance would all
rally around the sub-treasury bill.
Now" said he, ''the issue is not the
tariff, the free coinage of silver or the
sub-treasury bill. The issue is the re-
form of our entire financial system
Neither the issuance of more money
nor the collection of less taxes will
alone do the people any good. The en-
tire financial system of the government
must be changed before anything else
that may be done can correct the exist
ing evils. Exchange.
1t is time the leaders of the people
stopped fooling away their precious
time discussing gold basis, free and un-
limited coinage of silver, and other
nonessentials and get down to bust

banks, or shall they allow the present
bankers to loan the peoples credit for
