The republicans have always pro-
fessed great love for the farmer, but
now that one Of the best farmers in the
state has been nominated for congress-
they turn upon him like vultures and
| hyenas, and nothing in the way Of vilB-
hcation and abuse Is too mean or con-
temptible for them to say about the
farmer candidate for congress. Grant

To demand Of a member OF the farm
| ers' alliance that he renounce the prin-
ciples OF the organization TO which he
has voluntarily attached himself before
he will be recognized by the bosses Of
any political party, is an insult to his
manhood. Such demand never emanat-
ed from democrat, or was submitted
to by one worthy the name of a freeman.

When America is made the dumping
ground for the worlds supply OF silver
the world at large win take an even eX-
change therefor in American products
at our price. by all means let the sill
yer come, and let it be coined into hon
est dollars, and the farmers will use
them in paying off their mortgages and
restoring their heritage to its former
eminence in American affalrs.-Alli-
ance Advocate, Louisville, Tenn.
The News says International bank note
is a note that has to be paid. Certainly
II Is, but the peculiar thing about 10 is,
that while everybody else has TO pay
interest on his note, the national bank
draws interest on its note. And yet
they howl and call us cranks because we
say our laws permit one set OF men to
draw interest on their debts while the
rest have to pay interest on their debts.

An idea of the small amount OF money
really In active circulation among the
prOple may be gathered when il is
known that the amount OF standard sill
yer dollars outside OF the treasury Octo-
tober was $50, "a, l75; subsidiary sill
ver, $50 654, 4i6. total silver In circula-
tlon, $ll9, S5S, 62l-less than s. per cap
ita When il is considered how large u
per centage Of the daily transactions Of
the people are conducted with silver
coin, the real state Of the money famine
will be understood. Iowa tribune.
The alliance is composed Of machine
sl.f
independents and third party mon. AS
an organization it is not in partisan
politics That Is TO say 1t does not es-
pouse any party. 1t espouses measures
and Advocates purposes. 1t has aims,
and seeks to accomplish them. 1t hasa
and expects TO fulfill it, IL
came into existence at the demand OF
iucxorable necessity, II continues in
existence and will over continue TO live
because the necessity Is SO great and ex-
acting that the members who compose
it are bound by ties of interest; they are
fastened to it by condition that COM
pels them to stick, to persevere, and to
make any sacrifice for its success. This
has jeopardiZcd their homes
has imperied the liberty of their chill
lren, aud has rendered ii impossible for
them to attain prosperity. The census
report on the mortgage indebtedness Of
the country shows the condition that
has ieopardized their homes. The fact
that they are compelled TO sell products
at cost OF production shows the impossi
bility OF extricating themselves from
this condition without a change of sys-
TENS. The change of systems is the
purpose. The change OF condition is
It's mission. Alliance Herald, Mont

II property only is to be taken into
account ia reckoning the prosperity Of
a country, why then New York is ahead
Of Missouri. But If the poverty-strick-
en- walls OF women and children are 10
be placed IN the balances and weighed
against riches, then the prosperity OF
the state Of New York will be found a
minus quantity. Ave and that OF Mis-
souri, would be but little better. IL Is
perhaps well for the country to have
plenty OF millionaires, but what benefit
Is il 10 the poor coal miner who makes
a dinner on two potatoes that he lives
IN a rich country? TO the farmer whose
mortgage is grinding the life out Of
him, what consolation is il that the
banker who holds it is a millionaire?
Missouri needs more capital rather than
more capitalists. We produce
enough to prosper and enrich the mass
IS were it not flched from our grasp by
he non-produeer. These demagogues
base their entire argument upon the
heory that the only place to get money
IS from the capitalist The lalsity Of
his theory is manifest The way 10 get
money is TO produce something OF value
II which money is a representative.
This valUe when produced should be the
equivalent of money, and should not be
to pay it tribute. Every ar
icle of stable value produced should
lave its representative in currency.
The only true solution to the hard times
problem Is for the government TO make
nore money and lend it to the producer
in what he prOducos.-Polk County
