NOTE OF WARNING.

The Farmers' Alliance Admonished TO
Look Out For the Wolf I'm Sleeps Cloth
ing.
Our friends of the Farmers Alliance
and National Citizens Industrial AL
lance in Kansas had better beware.
We have evidence that there is a con-
spiracy on foot for the purpose of con-
trolling their conventions One of the
organizers of the Citizens Alliance, to
our certain knowledge-we have docu-
mentary evidence of what we are about
to say-made written offer of his SER
vices to one of the great corporations
operating In Kansas to pack conven-
tions in the interest of the corporations.
His offer was to organize alliances COM
posed of business men and largely of
agents and friends of this and kindred
corporations, so that delegates elected
by such alliances would be able if not
to control at any rate influence
Joint conventions of the Farmers and
Citizens Alliances. This man was a
knight of Labor and held an
organizers commission, but when evil
dence of his intended treachery to the
common cause was obtained his COM
mission was withdrawn and he was
placed outside of the order. We would
caution our friends of the Citizens Al
lance to exercise the utmost vigilance
to guard against the admission into
their ranks of men whose busines> IN
terests are opposed to the industrial
reform movement While it is possible
that some of these may be honest in
their desire to reform the evils by
which they profit it is folly to rely
upon this as a rule, as the Scripture
tells us, "Where the treasure is there
will the heart be also" The Alexan-
ders the coppersmiths must not be de-
pended upon to become ge-breakers

trade they have their living. journal

DEMAND AN ANSWER.

Ask the Opponents Of the sub-Treasuvy
Plan to Name Something Better.
When a man or men so strenuously
and so persistently oppose any meas
ure, as do certain men the sub-treasury
plan, they should be able % offer some
amendment to it, or openly and man.
fully declaee that they are honestly OPP
posed to the objects of the measure.
II, as most of them say, they are in
favor of the objects of the plan but are
opposed only to the bill, let its friends
say to all such: What Ia your planP'
Listen 10 all their objections and
then say to them: "Now for the sake
of argument we will grant all your OBJ
jections, but what is your plan?" The
alliance has submitted to this unmanly
dodge of the enemy long enough. Push
these objectors to the wall and force
them to the true issue, and it Will be
found that the true objection Is TO the
objects which this bill is intended to
secure to the farmers and not to the
bill itself What are these objects?
First-The abolition of the national
banking system. Second-The issue of
money by the government to the peo-
e.
cient volume to do the business of the
country. Third-The doing away of
gam bling in futures of agricultural
products.
Is there a farmer in all this country,
who has sense enough to plant corn or
potatoes, who believes for one moment
that these objects can be accomplished
without a terrible contest? Will the
bankers, spectators and trusts ever
permit these things to be done without
a struggle? And does anyone believe
it possible for any bill ever to be de-
vised to do these things that would be
acceptable to the money power? Who
believes that the national banking sys-
tenn can be done away with without
provoking the sternest opposition from
the money power? Who believes that
the usurers, spectators and jobbers
will peaceably allow the farmers of the
country to establish a low rate OF in
terest? Who believes that they will
quietly consent to stopping gambling
in futures?
Herein lies the true objection to tho
sub-treasury plan. 1t is not to the bill.
| They don't care a fig for the bill. 1t Is
the policy and change to be established
| by the bill in our financial system Is
where the shoe pinches.
The friends of reform have mad
enough of cowardly dodginS on the
true issue involved in the more coward
| ly fight that has been made on this bill
| Let them draw these arttul dodgers
down to the issue by asking them how
they stand on the three planks in our
platform, named above, and which are
covered by the bill. If they agree that
these three planks are right, then ask:
'Where is your plan for carrying them
out?" They will fail to answer every
time. Raleigh (N. c. Progressive

To the brotherhood of the National Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union.
1t is now apparent that the enemies
of reform throughout the country are
marshaling their forces for vigorous
and determined effort to weaken and
destroy the alliance. Its future prog
ress will be stubbornly contested and
resisted, but we will assuredly and
gloriously triumph if we be cautious,
prudent, faithful and firm. The out
look for the success of the great re-
forms we advocate was never so hope
full and encouraging as now. The order
throughout the whole country Is daily
adding to its mum bers, and it is in finer
spirit and more thoroughly united than
ever before. But the peculiar condi.
tions confronting us demand the ut
most caution, lest we commit errors,
which might prove fatal to our cause.
The action of our state alliances aud of
the supreme council, in their forth
coming annual meetings, will be uni
versally regarded with earnest interest,
and the character of that action depends
largely on the wisdom of the subordi-
nate bodies.
The sub-alliances are to select men,
bers as delegates to the county alli-
ances, which are to choose delegates t.
the state alliance, which in turn is to
select delegates to the supreme council.
In view of the great and important
work TO be done during the next alli-
ance year, and which must necessarily =
be largely directed by the state bodies
and the supreme council, the brother
hood is earnestly admonished to exer-
else great care in selecting the men to
whom must be entrusted the response
bility of guiding our course as an order.
Let those who are to legislate for US,
in the state alliances and in the su.
preme council, be not only our ablest
and wisest men, but let their loyalty to
our cause be without taint or tarnish.
Put none but true and faithful alli-
ancemen on guard in this hour of our
great need, and all will be we'll
