The TOflerE, Star.

The sons of toll have patiently
waited for relief until they are heart
sick. They now see, that to redress
their wrongs, they must rely upon
their own efforts. They see that they
have been led to their own ruin. They
see that they have enriched every one
but themselves While their own fam
lilies are living in poverty, the wives
and children of the men with
whom they deal are lolling in the lap
of luxury. They see before them
nothing but poverty and slavery. But
few years ago there appeared new
star christened the Farmers Alliance,
and by faithfully following it the toll
ing masses feel that they will be lead
out of bondage. Their old taskmas-
tiers are trying to blind them with
prejudice and passion. The lash OF
the politician is applied to their backs.
Jeers and threats assail them. But as
the Wise Men of the East the farmer
has his eye fixed upon that guiding
star, and will follow it until he reaches
salvation from his earthly cares.

Ignorance of the Nation.

Has it ever occurred to our readers
that the great majority of this great
nation are entirely ignorant of the
wrongs that have been perpetrated on
them by the scheming financiers of the
country? There is nothing that our
people need more than education on
the legislation of the country for the
last twenty-five years. and nothing
that will bring them to quicker real
ization of their position than the study
of such a subject. Every man who
sees the cause of the present upheaval
should try to faithfully impress upon
their less fortunate brother the import
ance of studying these problems. The
social problems are easily solved if
we take hold of the key, and the old
men who have not allowed the monop-
olistic and subsidized press to control
their every thought are the persons
who should use every means in their
power to educate.

Solomon.

And the King made silver and gold at
Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and CO.
dar trees made he as the sycamore-trees
that are in the vale for abundance.-2
Chron. 1:15.
ONION, and as Jerusalem was built and
walled from stone quarried on the
ground no one denies that they were
exceedingly plentiful. Silver is men
toned first as of equal Importance
with gold. The wise ruler seems to
have lost no sleep about the danger
line being reached from the abund-
ance of the white metal neither did
it ever enter his mind to demonetize
it. Not only did he see the necessity
of supplying his country with an al
most unlimited amount of metal
money, but he took precautionary
measures to prevent it being paid out
for the product of other nations, ex-
cept in cases where it was impracti-
cable to deal with them in any other
way. Thus in the same chapter it
will be seen he proposed and entered
into an agreement with Hiram, King
OF the wealthy commercial city OF
Tyre, by which the latter was to fur
nish him a certain number of skilled
laborers and receive in payment for
their services not gold and silver, but
four articles for which Solomon
wanted market He knew the peo-
pie of Tyre were in need of those four
articles, and wheat barley, oil and
wine were paid out by Solomon with a
view to furnishing brisk demand for
farm products SO that farming would
be profitable and his countrymen be
kept busy, happy and contented.
Solomon governed his country forty
years in peace. Few rulers could say
so much. It is claimed he was the
father of greenbackers, and his pay
ment of Huram in currency other
than gold and silver is cited as evil
dence of the fact. However this may
be, his financial ability had much to do
with his greatness. He was never
considered a fool but his intellectu-
atty lowered aloof like his favorite
cedars and 1.-The sycamore trees that

A Foreigner on American Lords.

The Duke of Marlborough-himself
a good deal of a monopolist-says in
the London Fortnightly that the men
who could control the chief American
railway properties ''are greater des-
pots in their way and WELD greater
power than any great medieval baron
of Norman times"
He said that he suggested this to
one of the Californians whose wealth
amounts to many tons OF millions of
dollars" mills or Huntington) and
adds:
He was" he told me. "a simple
man, and had no high social aspira-
tions;" it was true he had obtained
great power and wealth, but he thought
that On the whole it was a distinct
benefit to his country that he had sue
ceeded as he had, and that his paternal
form of administration of issuing his
ukases from his quiet Office in New
York, though it might not always suit
Wall street. was distinct advantage
to the public.
1t is a sort of CHASTITY joke that
these California nabobs think that if
they wear coarse clothes and murder
the English language they belong to
the plain people," and cannot posi-
bly, do any harm.
The du6e goes on to express his
establishment that the Democratic
American people have allowed this
aristocracy to grow up among them,
(Which is daily becoming infinitely
more powerful and infinitely more
dangerous than all the feudal aristoc-
racies of Europe put together"
He concludes:
1t was easy to get rid of the Euro
pean difficulty with the guillotine as
the French did, without tearing up
the foundations of all social life in
the country itself. In America this
financial and railway aristocracy is
slowly building itself into the very
bone and sinew of the people, and it
will be very difficult twentieth-cen-
fury problem to know how congress is
going to deal with the matter.

PATRIOTISM.
The Loyal Farmers Struggle Concern,
All Men.

The Loyal Farmers Struggle Concerns
All Men.
It requires just as much patriotism
to be loyal to the principles of the
Farmers Alliance and fight its enc
mics as it did for our forefathers to
wrest their freedom from the British
crown. They faced the English army
that was organized and manipulated to
rob them and enslave their posterity.
We are organized to face the money
hunting, blood-suckine cormorants
who are organized and maneuver for
the purpose of robbing us and enslav-
ing our posterity by laws Our would
be tyrants are just as autocratic, just
as exacting, and their proposed system
of slavery just as brutal as that at
tempted by England. Our weapons OF
defense are not those used by our fore
fathers, because the weapons of OPP
preston adopted by our tormentors
are not those used by their prototypes,
the Hessians. Our plutocrats are en-
shaving US by laws they have dictated
to our lawmakers. We are armed with
the ballot and purpose to repeal those
laws at the ballot box, and thus wrest
plutocracy of its power to enslave. II
takes just as much patriotism and
self-sacrifice to repeal bad laws
by the ballot in the face of mil
lions of slush money now as it took
for our forefathers to face the red
coated bayonets. The same principles
are involved, and every member of the
Farmers Alliance who now deserts his
organization is as much a traitor to his
country and the freedom of his chill
dren as was Benedict Arnold. The
struggle the Farmers Alliance is now
making concerns all men, and every
lover of justice will, if true to his
principles, align himself on the side of
this organization. because we are con-
tending for pure democratic principles.
The lines are being tightly drawn, and
those who are not for us are against
us. The Alliance is composed of that
class of people who have built every
democratic government that has ex-
listed. No democratic government has
been subverted while controlled by
agriculturists. None have survived
when they lost control of it. Hence
no good man fears to trust them. The
Farmers Alliance is child of necessity
born to redeem the liberties of all the
people and to substitute government
purely democratic in fact as we'll as
in name. for the bastard plutocracy
that now rules the United States with
headquarters in Wall street. The
Mercury realizes that this is very plain
language, but that every word of it is
the truth; and the time has come when
the truth should be told though the
p]utocrats should take the rabies. -

A Remedy Wanted.

The producers and laborers of this
country do not need to be told that they
are in the throes of bankruptcy and
ruin. That is an ever-present fearful
reality that commands their attention
too much. What they need is RENE
dy for these maladies by which they
will regain their prosperity and re-
deem their homes from debt. This
tariff racket that is continuously being
made has been ringing in their ears for
twenty years, and the profession made
of its efficacy is all stuff. It has not
done any good in the past nor need
anything be expected in the future.
1t is not what terribly high prices they
are paying that is hurting so much as
the annual formation of syndicate OF
robbers to take their products at cost
OF production. Alliance Herald.

WILL 1T BE A VICTORYq
1t Will Be q Struggle, and Defeat fo
One Side.

One Side.
Is there to be an easy victory in the
great battle that is now being fought
between the friends of an honest gov
eminent on one hand, and the peoples
OppressOrs on the other? No. It must
and will be hard struggle, in which
one or the other of the forces must suf-
fer defeat. 1t is for freedom upon one
hand, and oppression and slavery on
question. Shall the toiling millions
have the benefit of the fruits OF their
labor. or shall they be held in bondage
by the money power. content to exc
out a miserable existence for them and
for their chi1dren's children which
shall follow them?
The enemies of the reform move
ment are all powerful both in patron
age and financial resources. They are
the two old parties, hoary with age
and corrupt in the power secured by
means of ill-gotten gain, and yet they
are one in their determination to
crush out the peoples last hope. Pro-
Tossing to love the laborer and the
trades people as long as they can
make them their easy and plant tools,
they despise them and their preten-
sions for liberty when they would seek
to be free to enjoy the fruits of their
own toll. Shall we sit down quietly
and ask them what we shall do in this
matter? No, thousand times no.
They are interested, not in you, but in
themselves and while you sit they are
on their feet, and are actively forming
plans by which they may deceive and
lead you astray. Every state, county,
and sub-union. all the people. should
wake up and bestir themselves. Read,
think, talk, and circulate literature.
1t is not enough that you take good
reform paper and read it; every man
should do that; but you should see to
it. so far as is in your power, that your
neighbors are reading on this subject.
This, you will see. calls for missionary
work. Let each man and woman
bring one other, and that will double
your force at once. The editors of
the reform press are working night
and day, say nothing of their financial
outlay. Do you expect to resi- on your
arms, and yet hope to gain a victory.
or have you no interest in this great
struggle? Remember, that if you would

HORACE GREELEY.
Words From . PEN Dipped In tie Fire Of
Eternal Truth.

W0r09 From Pen dipped In TIC Fire O1
Eternal Truth.
It cannot but strengthen and arouse
the hopes and energies of all who are
enlisted in this great contest to uplift
the hands of the oppressed, to read the
seemingly inspired words of the great
author, editor, philanthropist and
commoner-Horace Greeley. While
the great battle of his life was waged
against chattle slavery yet was be
living to-day, he could use no stronger
language against wage-slavery than
the noble sentiments he uttered over
fifty years ago. The problems which,
he says. necessarily cry out for solu-
ton, and can never be stifed, but will
become even more vehement till thew
are solved are these:
Why are those by whose toll all
comforts and luxuries are produced or
made available, enjoy SO scanty share
of themp Why should man able and
eager to work ever stand idle for want
of employment in world where so
much needful work impatiently awaits
the doing. Why should a man be re-
quired to surrender something of his
independence in accepting the employ
ment which will enable him to earn by
honest effort the bread for his family?
Why should the man who faithfully
labors for another and receives there
for less than the product of his labor
be currently held to be the obliged
party, rather than he who buys the
work and makes a good bargain of it?
In short, why should speculation and
scheming ride SO jauntily in the car
riages, splashing honest work as it
trudges humbly and YEARLY on foot.
Again he announces the eternal fact
that
So long as life is battle in which
men fight not for. but against each
other. the victors must necessarily be
few and ever fewer. the victims num-
berless and ever more helpless.
Such words must have been written
with pen dipped in the living fire
of eternal truth. Dwelling upon tn 3
fact that the majority of men are poor
and uninstructed, he endeavors to
show how the condition of the masses
can be alleviated by legislation, as
follows:
The state should ordain, and the
law should be fundamental, that no
man. may own more than certain,
very limited extent of land; that the
state should fix a definition to the
phrase, "a days work." that the state
should see to it that no child grows up
in ignorance; that the state is bound
to prevent the selling of alcoholic
beverages.
These great principles were enun-
ciated from his prophetic mind before
an acre of land had been granted to
railroad corporations. Had they been
needed, the 500, 100000 acres that
have been thus disposed of would have
been kept for free homes for the home
less; the great struggle for shorter
hours of labor would have been pre-
vented; the thousands of children
that are now being, and have been for
years, dwarfed upon the tread-wheels
of our factories would have been in
school preparing for useful and exem-
plary lives. That our prisons. insane
asylums and poor houses would have
been robbed of their numberless VIC
Tins and the millions that are squan-
dered for drink would have been ex-
pended in procuring the comforts of
life.-National Economist
