TO be a prize TO industry and self-denial. II the
Farmers Alliance people hope TO wipe out this
class OF capitalists, they will probably find few

The great capitalists of the world know how to

uprising Of a Farmers Alliance movement.
Washington swarms with representatives Of
this movement. Their impotence to begin opera
tions in Congress is seen in their fiery glanccs and
is heard in their fervid utterances. They have come
TO believe that they are really prophets Of a new
movement. They are convinced that financial
dishonesty is a holy thing, and that those who are
