FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

The anti-alliance newspapers de-
clare that the alliance can never succeed

Then why do you try to get them out
of the lead? Consistency, consistency.

If you farmer alliance people will
only just fix it SO as to knock out the
democratic party in the south, says the
republican politician, it will be all
right; and the democratic politician
says that the alliance will be all right

if we meet with some disappointments
there are compensations- Kansas is a
royal state.-Great West

If any farmer rushes off his wheat
to market this year-if it is possible to
