dissenting vote on resolution end0rs-
Ing the Ocala platform, including the
sub-treasury plan.
We heard a man condemning the alli-
ance for their advocacy OF the sub-treas-
ury bill Monday, and upon our first
question he was compelled to admit
that he had never read the bill.-The
Alliance Bulletin Harper, Kan.
II Is not because the alliance does not
know what IL wauts, but because IL does
know, that Is bringing out such tir-

II there Is tremendous republican
revival sweeping through Kansas AS

Atchison Champion.
The oll party howlers insist that the
peoples party Ia Kansas is going TO
pieces However that may be, the op-
posite must be said OF the old parties.
They are going into one piece, and not
much of piece, either.-Iowa Tribune.
Alliance men everywhere are learn

II this government must depend up
on wheat and cotton TO bring back our
gold from Europe, and keep the balance
OF trade in its favor, can not these same
products be depended on to hold the
gold at home and keep up the balance
OF trade between our own people: The
farmers think so.-Arkansas Farmer.
The natioual treasury is empty; the

The capitalist who lives on his income

buys labor. He wants 1t cheap. The

The railroad stock OF the country IA
reported at ten billions OF dollars. Half
| of this is admitted to be fictitious or
watered. An alliance squeezer will do
the work for this and after we have
taken from these corporations the two
billions OF dollars worth Of land which
OF right belongs6tO the people, there
will be only three billions left TO pur-
chase, II that be necessary. We need
about that much additional currency,
anyway. and greenbacks are good
enough for common people. Arkansas
(Searcy) Economist
There is a well planned and deliber-
ate purpose among republican politi-
clans and newspapers in the north, and
democratic newspapers in the south TO
break down the alliance and leadership
by libel and ridicule. The edict has
gone from Wall street that this must be
accomplished. The outfit succeeding
best in its work will get the biggest pull
from Wall street for campaign purposes
next fall How long will it be till the
people at large get their eyes open 10
this condition of things?-Plain Talk,
Vermillion, 5. d.
The alliance movement had its birth
in the sout6 and has spread oyer the
Union, and has broken down sectional
ism and united the farmers north and
south in one grand patriotic union to
stand by their rights; the north has
taken the lead in declaring their inde-
pendence Of the old political parties and
all that now remains is for the southern
brotherhood to go and do likewise We
have faith that they will be with US IN
%. The people are coming to save the
nation. The Democrat mckinney,

This meeting OF the state alliance Just
ended was a most remarkable one.
Though the partisan press and their
allies would have been glad to have
learned that partisan politics had been
discussed in this meeting. yet we are
pleased TO tell them that nothing OF
the kind did happen, but there was
unanimity of feeling, clasping OF
hands, touching OF elbows without one
single break The sub and county all-
ance organizations did their work well
in sending such men to this body to
represent them.-The Rural Home

tight between the corporations and the
people A strong effort is being made
to work up a plan for the nomination OF
mon partisan" candidate for supreme
Judge. Having no principle at stake
the Doodle politicians are too cowardly
to face defeat Hence they will try to
succeed by the most shameless and cor
rupt means Such combine is only
the natural outgrowth and successor OF
OF the unholy alliance formed in the
legislature last winter, and il Is being
engineered by the same men. Walt
Seeley for the republicans and Senator
Switzler for the democrats seem to be
the ring leaders in the move. The de-
tails Of the plan are not known to the
public But in all probability either
Meikleiohn or some Omaha democrat is
TO be the nominee. The political pub

is simply shocking the disiugene-
Gus and downright dishonesty put for
ward by those who oppose government
loans to the people. The idea OF the
government loaning on real estate Sc
curity is denounced as a wild, visionary
and altogether unprecedented perform
ance. Has this government never
loaned money on real estate security
We think it has. Aside from the gov
ernment loans to railroads, turn to the
history of its public deposits with
banks. What are these but gigantic
loans to pet Shylock Institutions The
popular notion is that these institutions
we're compelled to give United States
bonds as security for such deposits. But
such is not the case until the law has
been changed OF late. The law did not
reuire that the security should be Z.

would do. and did do. Comptroller
Knox is on record TO the effect that
