Even the dull-headed farmer who said
that he could not do anything is now
knocking at the door for admittance.
Those who still set back in the harness

After having burdened the country
with an enormous private and and cor
porate debt, bound the people hand and
foot with mortgages, and anticipated
the efforts of years with bond payments,
the owners of these burdens demand to
be let alone; that present conditions
must not be disturbed for fear of dis
turbing the present methods of bust
ness. How long will distressed peO-
pie submit to such nOnssnse?- National
Economist.
Oh, it's coming. When the farmers
and laborers are thoroughly organized,
land will rise, money will be made more
plentiful by legislation, many of the ex-
travagant schemes will be shut off,
laborers will have plenty to do at good,
honest wages, and when pay day comes
the employer can come down with the
bung wads. We have seen this state of
things once, and if we live we shall see
it again. Listen. do you hear the MUIR
muring of the oppressed. Springfield,

He that is not for the Alliance princi-
pies is against them. There is no mid
die ground and we have no use for strad-
dlers. The time has come to draw the
line, and we must draw it. A half
hearted support of any principle never
succeeds. If you are with us, hoist your
colors that everybody may know where
you stand. The wishy-washy, milk and
cider fellows, who are trying to hold
with the hare and run with the hounds,
will have to be dumped on the trash pile
of worthlessness, and the sooner we
dump them the better.-Nashville Toll

The alliance politician is just now
getting in his work. the little men are
now the largest. Let no one be afraid,
they will find their level in a short
time. Keep in the middle of the roads,
This government is in the hands of a
power that will not see it wrecked by
trickery or deception. The triumph OF
the ultimate truth will in the end be
final and complete. Let the brethren
have faith in each other, faith in the
men placed at the head of the order,
and the winds may blow and the floods
may come, but the alliance will stand
undisturbed. -NatiOna Economist.
Mr.. Chase described national bank
note as loan without interest, by which
he meant that they were merely private
shin plasters made valuable by the gov.
ernments endorsement and thus enabled
to circulate as money. Thus was $780,.
100000 of wealth instantly created ir
the pockets of the managers OF the ma

were taxed out of existence. The PEG
pie have gradually come to knowledge
of this method OF fleeing the govern. !
ment and have demanded that the gov.
eminent should issue its own paper in
stead of longer helping private individ.

The object OF the Alliance is to ele-
vate and 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 contamination of these
laudable purposes? Is it 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 servitude, and
to remain the hewers of wood and the
drawers OF water for eternity? Such Is
not the prompting of reason.-Talahasse
