Hereafter no promises of the politi
clans Of the old parties will be accept
ed."-President L. L Polk
The alliance is fast drifting away
from the two old parties The ten.
dency everywhere is toward independ-
ent action.
If the one per cent paid by the ma
tional banks is tax, what in thunder
is the six to ten that they exact from
the people called.
The hard times have been caused
by over-production-- organs
since 1873 The good crops will disrupt
the alliance because it will make good
times for the farmers-Party organs

Brother Turner, national secretary,

and Industrial Union has been ratified

When the average congressman
learns that it is the duty of congress to
protect the people against the spolia-
tions of the usurer as we'll as the raw
ages of armed invasion. they will learn
their duty to their constituency, not
before.-Southern Mercury.
With Sam Wood murdered in Kan
sas by a republican assassin and DR.
Macune assaulted in Mississippi by a
democratic thug, the time seems ap-
preaching when members Of the alli-
ance will be compelled to stand q little
closer together Citizens Alliance.
Until we see and realize that any
infringement of the rights of others,
even though they be the very lowest
and most insignificant, impairs the
vital life forces of the whole, we shall
fail to measure up to the full demands
of either Christianity or humanity
Pacific Union.
We are to-day in the midst of a
great revolution. Mighty forces are
being marshaled which must test our
virtue, our manhood, our patriotism
and our love of humanity. God forbid
that any alliaaceman should be weighed
in the balance and found wanting
Alliance Echo.
The great mistake made by con-
gress in 1866 was in not providing for
the permanent circulation Of the money
then in existence, and for increasing
the same as population increased Had
this been done the people of this nation
would now be little short of the millen-
ium.-Missouri World
The design of government is to Sc
cure to the individual all the liberty
consistent with justice und public or
der, and to destroy all other kinds of
liberty. No man is to be allowed to
exercise liberty to kill, to rob or de-
stroy. This would be the destruction
of all personal iberty.-Exchange.
The plan recommended by the Ohio
peoples convention for dealing with
the liquor question, is meeting with
much favor. One prohibition paper is
advocating the plan, and the peoples
party, and a large number of prohibi-
tionists, have handed their names to
the new party committees.-IowaT Trib-
une.
The result of the democratic anti
sub-treasury alliance meeting, held at
jackson. Miss, September 2, was rather
slim affair; but few counties were rep
resented. and general want of conf
dence prevailed The decisive action
taken by the recent state meeting
seemed to have had a depressing effect
National Economist
-Congressmen and others assert that
the alliance sub-treasury plan is obnox-
ious class legislation Yet not one of
them can point out any class of our
people that will be injured by it, and
show why or how they would be in
jured Blank assertions unsupported
by facts are out of date in this year of
grace, 1S91.-Southern Mercury.
The farmers of the east have suf-
fered even more than the farmers of
the west by reason Of the contraction
policy. The western farmer has been
aided somewhat by the increased price
of his land brought about by the settle
ment of the country, while the eastern
farmer has seen his 500 per acre land
20 down to $50; his $50 land go down to
s25.-Missouri World
Report has it that the whole
strength of the republican machine
will be brought to bear On the Ohio
campaign. Last year over $3.50. 600 was
spent in order to elect Mckinley to
congress, without avail. To be defeat
ed now for governor will pretty nearly
DO the tariff-maker up. together with
John Sherman, the arch hypocrite of
the whole gang. viii the people of
the Buckeye State see to it that the
work is done-in the interest of Justice
and political decency?-Pacific Union.
Germany is gold standard coun-
try. and our financiers tell us we must
do as Germany does-that we must not
adopt silver standard until Germany
agrees to it As an evidence of what
the gold standard is doing for Germany
we may remark that Berlin, the Ger
man capital, increased in population
last year about 50, 900, and yet the de-
crease in meat consumed was as fol-
lows: 29.625 cattle, 574 calves. $3.50
sheep. and 30.744 hogs And why?
Because the masses of the people of
Germany are getting too poor to buy
meat. And this is the example the
politicians say we must follow.-Mt
Vernon (Ills) Progressive Farmer.

the press of both parties and note its
