The members OF the alliance should
constantly keep in mind that this Is the
year for them TO study and acquaint
themselves with the great issues that
are being discussed This is the educa-
tional year in that respect with US, and
we must improve every opportunity to
become familiar with our principles and
demands, in order for them to avail US
anything. We can not afford to stand
still. let us then be up and doing"
and always employ our best efforts TO
further our cause. Farmers Advocate,

When the old parties tell you you arc
for paternalism refer him to the law al
lowing the banker to take his millions
OF dollars In gold to the mint and have
IL pressed in bars at the expense Of the
government TO make il convenient to
ship 10 Europe. Now, why should the
government press the bankers gold
into bars for shipment and make the
farmer compress his own cotton when
he wants to ship it TO Europe? We
want the shoe put on the other foot for
while now. it will fit better. Ken
lucky Farmer lShepherdsville, Ky.)
Why don't Mills, Reagan. Culberson,
et al, tell the people OF Texas that the
bill loaning 81, 100, 900 TO the New Or
leans exposition was paternalism un
constitutionaly Now answer gentle
men, didn't every one OF you and all the /
other members from the south vote for
the bill to loan 81 900. 600 TO the New 4
Orleans exposition. Now some people /
think the reason you didn't yell 'un- |
constitutional in that contest was be- /
cause 1t was loaning money TO big I
syndicate and because the money power I
was in favor OF that moye.-The Nindi- /
Gator tSulpher Springs, Tex.
The thoughts that are working g in the
minds OF the masses OF the civilized /
world foretell a change. This sudden 4
appropriation OF the power possessed by /
the people is so extraordinary that its /
significance is beyond the realization OF
the power that is going headlong To
destruction On the one hand there is
q selfish disposition on the part OF the .
land lords and lend lords to sneer AZ
the elements OF the rising storm, which I
not only serves TO intensity the irrita-
tion, and aggravate the tendency 10
separate from a peaceful and bloodless
settlement OF the difficulty, but tends
to hurry on a destructive calamity

The farmers have awakened from
their political lethargy, and have
buckled on the fun alliance armor.
The leading bosses Of the democratic
party have left the old Jenersonian
landmarks aud gone of on a tangent
upon way unknown TO the democratic
masses, and the people are being
quickened with the breath OF new life
breathed into their nostrils. The peo'
pie are learning that the sub-treasury
means more money, more liberty and
final freedom from serfdom. They be
lieve it, and all Hades cannot prevail
against it. Serfdom and slavery have
never met favor in the eyes of Deity.

Farmers. the subsidized papers and
representatives OF the money power are
moving heaven and earth to make you
think you are lot ofidiots cutting your
own throats, and that the only way for
you TO live in this country is 10 go back
TO the old parties. And all the time
they are doing this they are upholding
the money power together with all tho
past legislation that has legalized tho
robbing OF the farmers and laborers OF
Is per cent OF all the wealth they have
produced the last twenty years. In other
words, they are in favor OF the greal
money power, keeping in power until il
robs YOU OF all you have. Look out for
them The perpetuitv OF the old par
ties viii keep you pinned to the earth,

We urge upon every county alliance
the necessity Of calling meeting and
electiug a delegate to the great Cincin
natl convention Of May l9. one dele
gate for each county is enough, but two
or three will do no harm, il the alliance
feels able to bear the expense. Send
none but true men TO this convention. I
1t is probable that the greatest reform
movement of this century will BE-
launched at the Cincinnati meeting and
its destiny must not be trusted to the
untried aud faithiess. If there is one
word OF advice We would give to the
alliance tits this: Sit down hard on
every man who makes an effort to get !
himself elected. The selfseeker is
never to be trusted. State, ST. Paul,

Politicians oppose the government
ownership Of railroads because they
know that they cannot be elected with
out the support OF the railroad power,
and they are willing to cringe before Z
the despoiler, TO sacrifice the interests
Of the people. and prostrate themselves I
before the railroad despots, for the I
sake OF Office. These things are mat 9
ters Of fact and are not disputed by any
one. II the people ever expect TO have
legislation not wholly in the interests +
Of the railroads they will have 10 stand I
Tor the election Of men who /
are in favor OF government ownership, I
for any man who opposes it does so be !
