From the Inter State Alliance EchO.
We must be aggressive. Let us move
forward, not backward. II we assume
the defensive, we will be driven out Of
the fight. We have been asking redress
for our grievances for years, but now we
demand it, and 1t must come. Instead
of sending petitions to Congress, we pro-
pose to send men, brave and true, who
know what our interests are, and how to
guard and protect them. The people are
In earnest, and something must be done,
They have grown weary under the yoke
of oppression, and they now demand
economic reform. They believe that the
"laborer is worthy of his hire;" that he
deserves something more than mere sub

led Of late years to seriously doubt
whether there is enough virtue and pa
triotism left among the controlling
classes to perpetuate our free instltu-

THAT EXCEPTION CLAUSE.
ON the Alliance Gazette.

From the Alliance Gazette.
We had in our possession a few days
ago new scrip two-dollar bill. On the
front 1t read: Treasury note, the United
States of America will pay the bearer two
dollars in coin. Washington, D. c.,
Series of $780," On the opposite side it
read: "Two dollars" The stipulation
read: "This note Is a legal tender at its
face value in payment of all debts, public
and private, except when otherwise stipu-
lated in the contract" Now, what does
that exception mean, and why was 1t
placed thereP Let US see. A few days
ago Mr. G. Bisher, Of this city, showed US
new coupon real estate mortgage bond,
and before the word "dollsr," at every
place that 1t appeared, the word "gold"
was written. Instead Of reading dollars
it read gold dollars every time. We
understand that many of the mortgages
that are being put on the Kansas and the
other farms, contain this same stipula-
ton. Now, do you see anything in it?

Republican journals of the west, and ex-
treme Democratic journals Of our section,

The Office holding contingent of both
parties are offering all sorts of stuff to
the voters as opiates to prevent their po-
litical awakening. These office-holdiDg

negro domination, white mans party,
etc., as incentives for letting matters
stand as they are, and reasons! Bah, for

We have sympathy with the motives Of
people who build model tenement
houses for the poor; but the people who
need them most will not go into them
nor would they be- received into them,
and even II they were their finer sur
rOundings would only mock their wretch
edness in all other respects. Municipal
regulations, sanitary inspection, ETC., are
all we'll and proper in their way as pallia-
tive measures, but to expect them to
cure an evil of which they do not touch
the root and cause is absurd.
The same argument applies not only
to tenement house uses, but to the
sweating system, to the abuse Of children'S
and women's labor, to crime, insanity,
and to the thousand other forms Of mans
cruelty TO man, which makes this earth
an ante-chamber Of hell. They are the
necessary products Of the present social
industrial system, or rather chart, which,
instead of regarding the earth aud the
products Of civilization as the common
heritage Of all, to be administered for
equal benefit Of all, subject to common
social duty, leaves them to be fought to
the death, and for the most part to be
wasted in the fighting.
To seek to cure any particular evil of
the present social order by local or
special treatment without recognition Of
the constitutional character OF the dis
ease Is sort Of child's play, which would
be ludlcrous il the occasion were not 80
tragicsl.
To return to the specific question
which prompted these words: The only
way to get rid of the slums which aims
at anything more than merely changing
symptom OF the disease they indicate
is to substitute for the present industrial
chaos system which shall guarantee
the means Of decent livelihood to every
man, woman and child in the nation. We
nationalists have set our hands to accom-
pliShiDg just this, but we want all the
help we can get.

GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.

The government ownership and con-
troll of railroads is one Of the growing
issues and ideas in our country. Gen.
trallzation in the hands Of all the peo-
pie the government does not seem to be
as bad as Capitalization in the hands of
a few individuals, with power greater
almost than the government itself.
The Chicago Sentinel thinks that one
item like the following ls sufficient an
swer to whole libraries Of books by the
Atkingons, Summers, Denslows, Guntons
and other sackers who curry favor with
rich monopollsts by deriding all the eff
forts of the people TO free themselves:
In Australia the government owns the
railroads 1t only costs a person $3.50 to
ride 1000 miles there. Communication rates
for local service are still lower. A work
man can ride to and from his work a dis
tance of six miles, for 2 cents trip, twelve
miles for cents, eighteen miles for 8 cents,
twenty-four miles for cents, thirty miles
for 10 cents Yearly tickets, good for thirty
mile trips, are sold for $17.4O. This is the
kind of Capitalization we need in this coun-
try. II centralizes bread and meat into the
mouths of the wOrkingman's children and
clothes on their backs.
And yet, low as these rates seem to be,
we are fully assured that there is a fair
profit in the business. Statistics prove
this beyond dispute.-Mortimer White

THERE Is NO DIFFERENCE.

From Lawrence Record.
The following resolution was adopted
as part of the platform Of the party by
the Republican state convention, held
July 16, 1884. Read 1t carefully, and de-
eide why the name of Governor Hum
phrey, substituted for that Of Governor
Click, is not applicable to present con-
ditions, and why equal condemnation
should not be visited upon him.
Resolved, That, as under the constitution
and laws of the state, all errors and irregu-
larities of the inferior courts may be cor
reCted by proper proceedings in the supreme
court, a tribunal now composed of members
of both the great political parties of the
state, the recent action of Governor Click,
in exercising the psrdoning power to re-
ieve guilty persons from the just penalties
of law breaking, solely upon the grounds of
alleged wrongs and irregularities existing
at the trials, when they have not sought a
review of their cases in the supreme court,
is an unwsrrsnted usurpation by the chief
executive of the judicial power of the state,
and is an attempt to destroy the confidence
of the people in the courts, thereby exciting
lawlessnesS and disobedience in public
authority; and such conduct on the part of
the governor, under solemn oath to obey
the constitution and enforce the law, merits
the condemnation of all the citizens, ire
speCtive of party affiliations and regardless
of personal views as to the policy of prohibi-
ton.
What would have been the language
of the convention had Governor Click
pardoned liquor seller fourteen days
before his conviction?

IngersoII ON California.

In recent magazine article, Mr.. Er-
nest IngerSoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt. It's
equability is constant, and It's dryness is
provsrbial. The only complaint made is,
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the eastern states confess now and then
that rouSing storm would give them a
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from a Superhuity Of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the invalid
dreading the advance of disease the still
and arid atmosphere is as the breath of life.

HOW TO GET RID OF sLUMs.

From The New Nation.
In letter to the Boston Transcript,
suggested by recent shocking disclosures
as to the condition OF the tenement dis
tricts in Boston, Mr.. Edward Atkinson
points out difficulties in the way of re-
form, and sneeringly suggests that the
editor Of this paper can probably tell the
public how TO solve the problem.
We certainly can and will. The only
way to abolish wretched tenement
houses Is to abolish wretchedness. So
long as there exists class of the abjectly
poor In community, so long will you
find them living under abject conditions.

MAN OR MONEY.

From the National View.
1t looks as II the prime issue in poll
tics in this country will sooner or later
be "man or money" Then choose which
you will serve. If you believe In ALI
ance principles you cannot vote for the
money power or for the candidates Of
parties that uphold it. Industrial people
must stand on their own ground and be
true to their own interests. The money
power will need no prompting In this re-
spect. 1t win look out and take care of

TO THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

AS solution OF this, / offer the face OF
the country for basis for national
money. Let US agree on 800 per capita
as a fixed volume, below which it cannot
go. Be 1t of gold, silver and paper read
ing on its face "United States of America" "
from one to five hundred dollars, using
the national fiat on paper as we do on
silver and gold. The government has
recognized this principle by depositing
silver and gold for basis for certificates.
Why compel the people TO dig up the
under side Of the country whilst we have
such vast wealth on the upper side in
easily known quantities? The answer
to this question is, 1t would stop gam
bling in unknown quantities and destroy
the business of those skilled-in this
game. You will ask me how | would
use the upper side, seeing that the gov
ernment does not own it. Assuming
that we have agreed on our hundred
dollars per capita, elect the idea that this
shall be the law, the right as is given
you by the declaration of independence
when it says that all governments derive
their just power from the consent of the
governed. This supposes you do con-
sent, and 1t further supposes you know
how to consent, making you the gov
ernors; andif you do not have a good gov
ernment it is your fault. The Uor popWli
is the VoG Del in these matters. Now
this idea possessed at home and elected,
you understand the question and have
endorsed and ratified it. States quotas
800 per capita, government reserving =
per cent. for stamping and printing,
states reserVing q per cent for state
revenues from counties quotas, and
counties reserving q per cent. from
claimants on tax duplicate for county ex-
change, making IL per cent. the price of
full legal tender dollar; the principal
never to be paid only as taxes.
Try this principle, and property own
ers will soon voluntarily put this new
source of revenue on the tax duplicate
and utilize this digging-up under-side
labor in making gravel and government
railroads on upper side, making this base
more valuable, useful and ornamental
than underside. Would not IL per
cent. money be a strong inducement to
property owners to place this new tax on
their property, and especially If they had
an per cent. mortgage on it for half
what 1t would bring under foreclosure?
Would this embarass sales? Not in the
least, as purchaser would place himself
on tax duplicate in like relation to seller,
and to release said property, pay the
amount seller formerly had on 1t into
county treasurer. There is no doubt but
this cheap money will have sufficient
takers to keep the volume uniform. The
idea that money must have redeemer
otherwise than the necessaries Of life
which are offered on the waySide in great
profusiOn, is as prepostsrous as that q
self condemned william can have a re-
deemer. Both are great deluslons-the
first has robbed you of property here, and
the latter of happiness hereafter. Our
supreme courts have decided time and
again that money is but the creature Of
law, the people being the law making
power. Then let US unite In one grand
