The National Lecturer Describes His Great
Battle for the People.
I have had some grand meetings
through Illinois and Missouri. Brass
bands and long professions, with crowds
of thousands in groves and parks, have
met me with hearty welcome every
where. The mighty social revolution is
on everywhere, the grand march of in
dustrial progress and intellectual de-
velopment is moving the heavens and
earth for the acknowledgements of the
masses. This impending revolution is
gathering strength and momentum at
every successive turn. The entire coun-
try stands aghast, systems tlelnble, Gus
usages are breaking mp: cTinsing cow
ards are being transformed into men:
fawning sycophants are refusing to obey
their former triumphant masters.
We are living in an age Of mighty
changes. It is the people, in the terrible
agonies of a life OF death struggle with
the plutocratic powers Of earth, that
have combined to put TO the test this last
experiment Of self government [t-re-

nit to a system of robbery which can
only result in a slavery the most degrad-
ing and ruinous that ever robbed and
conquered a free nation since the dawn
of history.
We are making the fight in the inter-
est of humanity against the combined
powers Of organized and legalizel rob
berry. We want no towards in this ter
rible conflict. We want Leonidas and
his 300 Spartans. We want an army
like Gideon's, that will keep their eye on
the enemy while they lap at the branch.
We want a Moses to lead us out Of the
Wilderness Joshua with power to
command the sun to stand still while he
fights our battles for justice and human
ity. We want a patriot to kindle anew
the sacred fires of liberty on our coun-
try's altar. We want men, high minded
men, men who their duties know, who
know their rights-and, knowing, dare
maintain. Yours for three years or dur.

The Republican Party and Prohibition.
Republican editors just now have
much to say respecting the refusal of the
Cincinnati convention to incorporate Il
prohibition plank in its platform. They
delight in designating the Peoples party
as ''The new whisky party" and they
would fain have the people believe thai
they are sincere in their professions.
We desire to ask these patriots C) if
they have any recollection of a petition
presented to the ChiGpgo Republican con-
vention of 1881 by Frances Willard, rep
resenting 500, 900 petitioners, for Il planl;
in their platform indorsing the principle
of prohibition of the liquor traffic? Do
they remember what was done with that
petition!
1t was thrown npon the platform and
made a target for tobacco juice by the
statesmen there assembled That pcti.
ton, rescued from the slime and filth in
which 1t had found II grave in that as
semhly Of moral reformers. has been pre-
served and framed: it may now be seen
in the Illinois State Historical rooms in
the city of Chicago, where it remains as
a monument of the devotion of the
Republican party to the principle of pro
hibition.-Topeka Advocate.

Some wide Awake Work Beine Done
Here and There.
President Marion Cannon, of the Cali
fornia State Alliance, sends invigorating
intelligence of the continuous march of
the Alliance in That great state. The
order there is ct work politically as we'll
as socially. The California people are
disgusted at the paid reports which are
being most industriously circulated to
the effect that Senator Stanford is pos
ing in favor as an Alliance candidate
for the presidential nomination, and say
they "might as well run Jay Gould as
Stanford" President Cannon has put
in operation a lecture system, by which
he hopes to spread information and pc
iitical truth all through his state. He
gives isl%ecturers suggestions and points
as to what should be talked about, and
summarizes as follows:
Show them how the Union Pacific railroad
gang invested S2ls,U to and pocsctcd Siii ,2GS,-

gang invested $4,000 and p~ockctea about SlfGy

lar. Show them that we have built, and paid
twice the cost, every one of the railroads tc
the Pacific coast, and that we are paying fol

Jay Gould, Russell Sage. Sidney Dillon & Co.
of the Union Pacific gang, and Stanford
Huntington and Crocicr & Co.. the Contra
Pacific gang, pay their debts to the govern
ment, as well as their taxes TO this state, o

ness for The good Of the state.
Arkansas has arranged for seven grea
Alliance camp and mass meetings, to b,
held in August, and is asking for speak
ers from everywhere. The state presi
dent writes that the people are thirstin!
for education as nover before, and tina
speakers and lecturers must be sen
among them. You may expect ArkaD

remark in the state presidents letter.

The farmers Of Pennsylvania are graf
flied at the promising success Of their
annual encar1pment, which will be held
at Mount Gretna Aug. 1922, and which
will be attended by an average of 10, 000
people daily. This encampment has
been resolved into q permanent instilu-
ton.
Mississippi has been the Alliance bat
tic ground during the past week, and
oftciul and trustworthy information
comes to the effect that the Alliance
speakers have completely c~aptivated
every town into which they have gone,
The speakers were President Polk, Hon.
L.. f. Livingston. Lecturer j. Z. Willis
and Hon. j. Ii. Mcdowell, state presi-
dent Of Tennessee. They have proven
to the Mississippians that they went
there on q mission Of fraternity and not
as political firebrands, as the snarling,
selfish, narrow partisan press would
have had them believe. Lawyers, mer-
chants, workingnlen, farmers and every
body have turned out to hear the speak
ers, have listened earnestly ana have ac-
kn~owledged the justice Of the cause.
New Jersey sends word that five coun-
ties have been organized, and that five

scrupulous methods to which the money
power will go when desiring the &C
complishment of an object.
In a letter dated Nov. 20, 1874, Hunt
ington wrote, 'sScott is prepared, G.

to pass his bill, but I do not think he,

Under the date Of Dec. 1, 1874, a letter
contains the following:

anything with 90 and Frisbie2 They are

Cal. Pacific income and extensions on the basis
that was talked of, even If we had to pay some
thing to convince Low and Frisbie.
May l., 1875:
Inotice what you say of Luttrell; he is a wild
hog; don't let him come back to Washington:
but as the house is to be largely Democratic,
and II he was to be defeated likely it would be
charged to US, hence l think it would be well to
beat him with q Democrat; but l would defeat
him anyway, and if he got the nomination put

SOME SURE TESTS

How to Ascertain the Sincerity of ths
Farmers Pretended II ads.
The subtreasury plan is being holly
contested; both north and south, not be-
cause it is the only demand Of the ALI
ance that is objected to, but for the rea-
son that by making it prominent an i'm
preston can be made that the balance
of the demands are unobiectionable.
Strange to SAY many good members of
the Alliance are led to believe that the
politicians as a rule would be willing to
consent to all the demands of the ALI
ance excepting the subtreasury plan.
This is an error.
There is bnt one demand at the out
side that they are in favor of in the
whole list. The time has come when
this false position should be exposed.
The Economist would ask the brethren
to cut out the following list of questions
and get their congressman, senators or
other prominent politicians to answer
them and send them in for publication.
Let the be plain yes OF no., and
be sure to get them correct. Let the
name and address of the sender be plain
ly written on the list:
Do you favor the abolition of national
banks? Yes or no.
Do you favor government loans direct
to the people at 2 per cent. on land Sc
curity? Yes or no.
Do you favor government loans direct
to the people on the subtreasury plan?
Yes or no.
Do you favor IN increase Of currency
to fifty dollars per capita? Yes or no.
Do you favor the suppression Of gam
bling in futures by act of congress: Yes
or no.
Do you favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver? Yes or no.
Do you favor laws prohibiting alien
ownership of land? Yes or no.
Do you favor laws that will take from
railroads and other corporations all lands
now held in excess Of their actual wants,
and under some equitable pro~visiolrplace
them again i'll possession of the govern
ment, there to be held for actual settlers
only? Yes or no.
Do you favor the removal of the pres
ent tariff from the necessaries of life?
Yes or no.
Do you favor a graduated income tax?
Yes or no.
Do you favor government control or
ownership of railroads? Yes or no.
