Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-08-28

we claim we have 4 perfect right to print
the speeches. However, if our paper advo-
Gates wrong principles, ii should die and we
should lose all we have invested in it; but
on the other hand, if it is right then every
honest man, whether he be merchant a
doctor, a lawyer or q farmer, should sub
scribe for it and help US TO sustain it. Here
is its profession of faith:
The Farmers World will not be the organ
of any party, clique or faction. but will be
Democratic in sentiment and Will favor and
advocate:
l. A reduction of the tariff to revenue
basis and I tariff for revenue only.
. The free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver-the money of the constitution
and such currency as may be founded
thereon, as the surest, safest and most per-
manent settlement of the money question.
3. The election of honest, pure and incor-
ruptible men to Office and the economical
administration of our national, state, county
and municipal government.
+ The uplifting and elevation of the la
boring classes by means of education, CO.
operation, the use of labor-saving ma
chinery, and the very latest and best
methods of farming.
The principles of the Alliance and Grange
as originally promulgated embody these
thoughts and will receive our hearty in
dorscment.
The World will oppose and condemn:
l. Glass legislation of every character,
and all attempts to engender class preju-
dices and array the people of our common
country against each other in political Or
carnations founded on class distinctions.
,. All attempts of any man or organiza-
ton of men to hoodwink, deceive and mis-
lead the agricultural and laboring classes
for the promotion of their own selfish ends,
and therefore every attempt to convert the
A.ha yatir
whose objects are in themselves common
dable-into a secret political organization,
enslaving the conscience and degrading the
manhood of the class for whose benefit
they were founded.
B. All attempts, whether by precept or ex-
ample, 10 teach the people that the govern
ment possesses anything it did not get from
them and can by means of the Sub-treaSury
bill, attempts TO create values by its fiat or
other impracticable or visionary schemes of
finance, destroy the principles of political
economy and put a single dollar into any
mans pocket without an equivalent in Ia
Dor.
Where is the honest, intellige man who
does not indorse that. Those gentlemen
had better ask US to forgive them.
What compromise will you make with
themi
l would call on them to give up the sub
treasury and all the other demands forever;
to admit free action, the freedom of thought
and of speech; to open the columns OF the
Mercury to both sides of all questions: to
denounce that steering committee and ap-
point no more; to explain to the noble
farmers Of Texas where all that money
went that was sent the Dallas exchange. to
rescind the resolution expelling the Fort
Worth couventionists and the manifesto
signers', and the stockholders of the Farm
ers World; to impeach the officers who sus-
pended Rayner Alliance and for using the or
der for persona and politicslEends; to apollo
glf to GovernOr Hogg for Insulting him by
