that next upward, onward effort sure
sometime to succeed! But we need not
have failure this time. A great hope is
with us, and there is hardly such a word
as fail.
We are, however, very near that time
when our enemies are not our greatest
danger. We are close upon some of
those rocks which all history, especially
that supremely tragic struggle, the
French revolution, teaches us made
final wreck of the ill-manned boats of
| reform.
AT the very hour when unity of effort,
based on faith in the crew and conf
dence and trust in the commanders
would have carried the boat bounding
along, the rocks of suspicion and dis
trust did their deadly work.
1t ought not to be very hard for old
greenbackers to believe that the all
essential things are faith and trust.
Even as the only safe money is based
on the credit of the government, on the
belief that men will be true to agree
naent, SO is the only safety of our re-
form cause based upon prevalent tenn
per of trust and confidence.
Whatever tends to create an atmos-
phere of suspicion is of all things most
dangerous.
The masses of the people are now
sufficiently aroused; they are quite ade-
quately alert for spies and traitors in
camp Let our writers and speakers
beware how they chafe and infame an
already over-sensitive populace.
An epidemic of suspicion would be a
hundredfold more dangerous than all
the traitors who will sail with us.
There can be mental epidemics as
easily made contagious as the physical,
a~d the more devastating because more
subtle and insidious.
When once we are truly certain of a
traitor we can chuck him overheard
with little noise or struggle. There
will be no need to scream and shout
and lurch the boat with panic scu fling.
But let us not scent treason from afar,
or glare distrust at superficial circum-
stance.
Let us believe that a hundred years
have borne us away from factions,
Jacobin and Girondist jealousy and
ouSPiCtOh.
Let men who know history beware
lest they help history to repeat itself
Have a care, We who are glib of ep
tibet and swift of condemnation
Words are dangerous things.
1t is criminal carelessness to hurl the
word coward" at brother sailor ;ust
because his reading of the chart shows
him another course towards the same
port.
1t is infamous for a loud-throate6
sailor to shout traitor" of old tars who
have weathered many gales
Steer clear of the rock of distrust
Steady, there, we are almost in deep
water.
In heavens name, brothers, DOM

That silly statement of an interview
between Senator Carlisle and a delega-
ton of alliancemen, is still going the
rounds. The truth is No such inter
view was ever held. There is not a
mem Der of the alliance so foolish as to
go to Mr. Carlisle for either advice,
counsel or information regarding the
subject that is claimed to have been
discussed. 1t is one of the many fool
ish attempts to ridicule and belittle the
demands of the alliance, that the two
old parties now substitute for argu-
mcnt.-National Economist.
Says the West Tennessee Wing:
1.-The sub-treasury financiers, as a rule,
are people who have not made bril-
liant success in the management of
their own affairs. Isn't it singular that
such men should find a following?"
Exactly so. The men who have accu-
mulated wealth from the earnings of
the producers don't want the sub-treas-
ury in theirs because it would derange
their little schemes by placing the con-
troll of the circulating medium in the
hands of the government and the peo-
pie. Weekly Toiler.
The Sumner County Press and other
republican journals are in great sweat
over an imaginary scheme of President
Polk to defeat the republican party in
enough of the northern states to enable
the solid south to elect democratic
president in 1892. If these wiseacres
will just hold their hats until February
%, 1892, they will have an opportunity
to see what kind of democratic presi-
dent the south will elect That we
shall again see solid south there is no
doubt, but there will be solid north
west linked with it, and the candidate
for president will not be Grover Cleve-
land. Advocate.
Just now the partisan papers, both
north and south, are filed with war
stories, incidents and pictures. Can
anyone surmise why there is such an
unusual revival of this kind of litera-
ture? The truth is, presidential cam
paign is near at hand and the two old
parties are indulging in the usual pre-
liminaries preparatory to such an event
1t is done to continue the cry of section
alism and thereby array the people of
the north and south against each other.
This scheme has worked very satisfact-
orily for years past, but just now the
alliance seems to block the game quite
effectually. -National Economist
of the effect of the sub-treasury
scheme in Mississippi the Natchez Dem
ocrat says: ut is useless to deny that
this poisonous doctrine and its un-
scrupulous advocates, who hope to ride
into Office upon it. are doing damag-
ing work with the democracy of the
solid south at time when their unity
is absolutely needed" 1t would seem
from this that many reports concerning
the disintegration and failure of the al
lance in Mississippi have been wide OF
the truth. 1t appears, also. that the
sub-treasury plan is not losing ground,
as has been stated. The fact is the al

A Kaleidoscope.

A little while ago it was the we'll.
known farmer who was making money
by farming despite hard times, who
was telling the farmers through the
plutocratic journals that they need only
be willing to work in order to prosper,
whether crops were bad and prices
low or not; that they were lazy and
shiftless, and wanted free coinage to
relieve them of the necessity of work
ing to pay their debts; that they must
put more brains and energy into their
business; that for his part Grover
Cleveland, tariff reform and an honest
dollar were good enough for him.
Later on it was the prominent alli-
anceman who was a democrat first
and an allianceman afterwards; the
sub-treasury scheme was, according to
him, madness and folly, unconstitution-
al, and would ruin the farmers and
help Wall street; that for his part,
Grover Cleveland, an honest dollar, and
tariff reform were good enough for
him. Later came forward the great
constitutional lawyer to say his piece.
The sub-treasury was an infamous
thing, uncon stitutional, would never
be sustained by the courts; was folly
unexampled, the craze of few design
ing men having personal ambition and
personal schemes; that the man who
outlived Methuselah would not live
long enough to see it pass; that for his
part tariff reform, an honest dollar,
and Grover Cleveland were good enough
for him. Next in order is announced
the Dallas gathering of distinguished
politicians to keep the alliance out of
politics. National Economist

THE WHITES AND THE BLACKS.

The Law of Self-Preservation VIII Compel
Interests.
The idea of conflict of interest be-
tween the whites and blacks of the
south is great absurdity. The factis,
that they are to great extent mutually
dependent upon each other, and there
fore that the most perfect harmony and
unity of interest must exist The
southern farmer knows and feels it his
duty to protect and assist the poor col
orcd people who are his neighbors. No
one realizes better than he, if he allows
sharpers to swindle the colored man by
paying him excessively low prices for
his cotton, by taking advantage of his
necessity for money, that the flooding
of the market with cotton at such low
prices will tend to keep prices low I'M
til others whose necessity for money
was less at the beginning of the sea-
son are also compelled to sell at the
same low prices, and their sales will
tend to perpetuate the low prices until
all the crop is sacrificed on the same
rock. The fact is, that the law of self.
preservation compells the southern
white farmer to take the southern black
farmer by the hand and hold him out of
the clutches of the exploiter who every
year manipulates the volume of money
SO as to develope the power of money
to Cypress. National Economist
