MED by Alliance men the next day, to
the effect that circulars were being sent

Muller has an Office at 3l7 Wabasha
street, and with force of from twenty
to thirty employees for the past two

months ago the Alliance press bureau
of information was organized at Wash
ington, to begin the compilation of crop
statistics. This investigation was be.
gun, and the Alliances of tho United
States all sent in local reports Of the
conditions of crops. This information
was supplemented by the views of Chi
cago, Minneapolis, Buffalo and New
York spectators, obtained from private
sources. Then the scene of operations
was transferred to st. Paul. Mr.. Muller
and other Alliance men looked over this
information and compiled statement,

Georgia, has rendered an important de-
cision In the case of Turner G. Thomas,

to farmers and takes mortgages on land

the agreements the company had the
right to foreclose on failure to meet
note when due. This was done in the
Thomas case, and judgment was entered
up in the United States court according
to the terms of agreement. Administra-
tor Thomas brought q motion to set aside
the judgment and sale made there
under, on the ground that the contract
was conditional, and though no defense
was fled, the court could not enter
Judgment, except on the verdict of 9
jury declaring that the conditions had
been violated. The case was argued
some weeks ago, and Judge Speer has
rendered q decision sustaining the above
position. Hundreds of similar judg-
mspts have been taken throughout this
section, and the decision will probably
give rise to extensive litigation:

The secretary Of the Third Party Execu-
tive Committee Send Out an Appeal.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 22.-The
address of the national executive CONF
mittea Of the Peoples party has been
sent out by Secretary Schilling. It
starts ont with the information that the
times which try mems souls are here
once more. The descendants of British
Tories of 1Y76 and other European and
American capitalists have bound the
country in chains. The Declaration OF
Independence from British arrogance
needs to be supplemented by declara-
ton Of Independence from the powers
Of concentrated wealth; the political
independence gained by the Revolution
Is but shallow sham unless our coun-
try can secure industrial Independence.
The address enlarges on the subject OF
the power Of money to Cypress the peo-
pie and then declares the railroads of the
country are capitalized at 30, 600, U00, 900
and the great majority of their stock is
held by people in England and other.
foreign countries, who have no more
interest in the United States
Than the Vampire Has in Its Victim.
At reasonable estimate, foreign capt.
talists have invested $40, 000. 000. 600 in
our country. What value have they
given us in return? They did not give
gold or silver, because those metals
have been carried abroad by the ship
load and are mined here, not in Europe.
To secure this vast property these tor
eigners have merely loaned us their
credit in bank checks, drafts and notes,
and they are paying these with the dlv1-
dend they draw from our people.
The address makes the remarkabl BILE
statement that the treasury retains
$7oO, 00O,O 900 of money, but that the
bankers who control the department
fear that the release of $50, 600, 900 OF
ready money would break down the
money market and ease the grip that
unproductive capital has upon the peo-
pie of the country.
Farm Mortgages Discussed.
The burden Of debt resting on the
people, as shown by farm mortgage sta
tistics, is discussed, and the following
remedy proposed: eff the billions of
dollars Of bank and corporation paper,
mortgages and other paper evidences Of
debt issued by individuals are good
enough for the extortioners and the
usurers, paper notes issued by all the
people jointly In the form Of govern
ment notes are better" The address
then goes into details concerning the
debts of the country and refutes the
charge that il would be improper for
the government to loan money to indi-
Yiduals. It calls for the control of tele-
graph lines by the people the same as
the postalsystem, and says that the Peo-
pies party does not propose to stop at
the reform proposed in its platform, as
it is progressive organization and can
not stand still. An earnest appeal to
the people to join the organization
closes the address.
