THE ALLIANCE.

caught by the State bank fraud pro-
posed by eminent Democratic states
men and pretended friendly papers.
Our money must be full legal tender
government money. International bank
system is far preferable to State bank
frauds. The State bank cry is; a side
issue to catch the Alliance with and
thus enable the money power to keep
its death hold upon the people. 1t is
such palpable fraud that we think it
will not deceive many. but its inten-
ton is to deceive and rob the people
The Industrial Union: Mr.. Film
found ten dollar gold piece, and was
right glad of it. Rubbing his hands
in glee he said to himself Il will go
now and pay my rent" He did SO,
the landlord paid the dollars to a
farmer for corn and the farmer meet
ing Film, who by the way was car
penter. and the farmer owed him ten
dollars for building his corn crib and
he gave the ten dollar gold piece to
Film who took it to the bank and
learned that the coin was counterfeit
Query was Films rent paid? Did the
landlord pay for the corn? Did the
farmer pay Film for his labor? Verify,
the fellow who talks intrinsic value in
money is great block-head.

The Freeman: If the editors of the
big dailies only knew how little, how
enthusiastically small is the influence
of their tremendous headlines on the
Alliance mind, they would cease to
labor so hard to get them up in such
style. The Alliance countenance only
breaks into broad smile as the eye
beholds these mighty heads. And
again. those fish stories about the
leaders that are constantly appear
ing serve to provoke laughter and
laughter only. The Alliance has it's
own sources of information about its
leaders and their work, and upon
these rely with absolute and serene
confidence. Space and labor could be
saved for some really good work. if
our big dailies could only realize
that their headlines and latest reports
about the leaders were producing
mirth, but otherwise were at zero, so
far as the Alliance is affected thereby.
The Alliance Herald: The farmers
cause is in better condition, with bet
ter promises and prospects than ever
in the history of the movement In
every state it is growing in numbers
and increasing in determination; and
as the membership becomes educated
in the condition of affairs, and per-
ceives the great necessity for unity of
purpose and concert of action, that
determination to foregO petty differ

variance of methods and become a
unit in purpose, a unit in object and g,
unit in action is more fully and thor
oughly realized and readily accepted
by all. United we stand; divided we

Pull together. The goal of success is
in view and by "a good pull, strong
pull and pull altogether the haven
of safety will be reached. Stand firm.
with your faith in God and determina-
ton to do your full part, and all will
be well.

You cannot scare. you cannot drive,
the Alliance people. They are going
to vote for thoseMhom they know will
try to carry out their demands. The
Alliance of North Carolina and of the
United States will stand by these, de-
mands, and the more you make fun
and sheer at them, the closer do we
draw to them. Thirteen states have
already declared emphatically for
these demands, and especially the SUBJ
treasury plan. Let elbows touch
brethren. The Alliance has4either got
to go down or Wall street rascality
must go. Which shall it be? Will

The Peoples Press: Senator Sher-
man says: The man who is to-day
getting $3.50 day or $1.5O for "a
bushel of wheat would find that under
free silver the purchasing power of

s1.25, and that the % cent loss would
fall not on the merchant or manufac-
sturer. but upon the man who labors or
who tills the soil. That is the mex
orable law of trade because the price
of commodities is fixed by the mar
kets of the world, and can not be
