Governments derive their just

Oh, it's coming. When the farmers
and laborers are thoroughly organized,
land will rise, money will ba made more
plentiful by legislation, many OF the ex-

Tho statement made hy some, that
the stringency Of the money market
was caused BY the agitation Of the free
coinage OF silver, does not seem to have
been verified by the failure TO pass the
proposed bill. Others said the money
market would improve II Congress
would adjourn, but we see no evidence

coatrary we observe a gradual decline
and perceptible scarcity Of money.

The object OF the Alliance Is to ele.
vate aud improve the farmer morally,
socially and financially. What farmer
desires to prevent it? What farmer
should obstruct or impede it? Where
is the farmer who does not desire the
full and complete econsummatiOn OF these
laudable purposes? Is II reasonable and
natural that the farmer should join in /
with their enemies and seek to keep
himself and his fellows bound down in
the chains Of industrial seryitude and
to remain the hewers of wood and the
drawers Of water for eternity? Such is |

The political press and the pretended
alliance men OF the country are kicking
up tremendous dust in the face of the
order, thinking thereoy, to blind true
alliance men to their best interests, by
and opposing the sub-treasury
plan. But'the steady gale OF the alli-
lnce sentiment will soon clear the dust
away and disclose 10 view, who are its
real friends and its real foes. This
though dearly bought, is
essential to that unity which should
characterize the farmers alliance, and
