rhe cincinnati oonference.

The mere mention of this confer
ence gives some of our Alliance
friends in some sections of the coun-
try the chills. Like President Hall,
of Missouri, they are Democrats drst
and Alliance men second. The time is
near at hand when we must under
stand each other, and as a basis of
this understanding it may as well be
known that the people of the great
northwest have abandoned the Rep
ublican party, and are willing to bury
the last relic of sectionalism and unite
with all classes having common in
terests in all sections of common coun-
try, for the triumph of the principals
proclaimed at st. Louis and reafirmed
at Ocala, they will never enter the
ranks of the old Democratic party
with the hope of securing needed
reforms through its 1nstrumentality.
Those who are entertaining hopes of
this kind may as well abandon them

much the tool of Wall street as its
old rival. The difference in the two
has been well expressed by current
writer-''tne one is in and the other
would like to get in". Ifthere is any
part of the south or any other section
of the country that prefers Democ-
racy to the success of Alliance princi-
pies, let them make their choice
The people of the north and west
who have heretofore been overwhelm-
ing Republican will go half way, but
no farther. Those of Democratic an
tecedents must meet us in the middle
of the road. This may as well be
understood as at a later date. If sec
tionalism is to be buried, and politics
of the future is to be based upon the
principles and reforms demanded by
the industrial organizations of this
country, the sacrifices must not all be
expected from those of Republican
antecedents. We speak plainly on
this subject, because we believe lit
tie plain talk of this kind to be both
necessary and proper. The time is
approaching that Will test the loyalty
of the people of all sections to Alliance
principles. If these principles have
precedence over party prejudices,
victory is certain. If the opposite,
then sectional lines must continue to
divide US. While the organization
of an independent party may not be
fully consummated at Cincinnati on
the 18th of May, an independent par
ty is what that conference means, and
the north and west will go solidly
with it. Will they go alone? This
is the question to be answered, and
there is but one answer that will in
sure the union of the west and south
and the certain triumph of our prin-
ciples.-The Advocate.

DURING the last legislature an effort
was made to give the people of this
state reduced rates of tariff On freight
and passengers, and the cry went up
that such Legislation would bankrupt
the roads. Iowa has law fixing the
rates very low. After a years trial
the railroad commissioners report "A
marked and material reduction in
freight rates commenced in February
and continued with more or less fuct-
uations through to December, reach
ing the lowest point in that month.
So deep was this cut in rates that on
March 18th, year ago, the local rates
in Iowa were reduced by the several
companies to considerably below the
maximum rates fixed by the commits
sioners and so maintained until Au-
gust LIST following. The reductions
brought with them the anomalous
fact that there has been a gain. in the
earnings of a year of 81 per cent.
