The Alliance stronger III MISSES
SiSSippi than Ever.
To The brotherhood Of the Farmers Alliance Of
Miss iS>ippi
1t gives me pleasure to announce to
You that the organization throughout
the State is in thorough working con
dition. New Alliances are being or
ganized, new organizers are in the
field ana farmers are seeking informa
ton concerning our objects and de-
mands. The efforts upon the part of
those who oppose us, to divide the
Order and work up difference among
the members. through the influence of
some misguided members has utterly
failed. and to-day the order is strong
cr. more united and more determined
than ever before. The efforts on the
part of some to work upon the preiu-
dccs existing in the political fields
and to use those preiudices against us,
and if possible pull. us down, have al
so failed, for the farmers know what
they are doing, and are thinking for
themselves. The campaign Of slander
that has been wagcd upon the Ali
ancc and some of its officers with
surh rcckIessncss and yiudictiycness
is now reactiug upon those who would
usc Such means for the acCOmpliSh-
mcnt of unfair purposes. We have
RIGHTS in the government and those

is that we don't make all our meat and
corn at home, when we know from ex-
pcricncp, as Il rule. we can buy meat
cheaper than we can raise it, and corn
in the West is often not worth as
much to farmers as wood.
1t is needless for them to insinuate
that we are lazy and don't work.
when We work more hours per day
than any other class or prOfesSion.
and the cry is over production in
every departmpnt of agriculture.
That we must ccGnomiZe. when we
know that we have done this for the
last olarter of Il ccuturv and thous-
ands are destitute of the comforts of
life. 1t needless for them to tell us
the government can't make money
when the n,ouIds have been tuning
it ont for nearly a century and the
presses have been rrintlng it for near
il thirty wears. That the Government
can have no money only what is col
Irctcd by taxation. when the plans
pronosod Inv MS arc NOT for tovatiou
bat to relieve from some taxation.
We know we must work and we must

one-sided business. when we know the
future gamblers in agricultural pro-
ducts undpr the protectiou of the aoy-
ernmcnt are making millions. wear af-
fer wear, out of the fruits of our toi!
and others are also protected to our
onnrnssiou. The princinles underlv-
inc our demands are plain and can 6e
easily understood bv all if not twist
