Of the Alliance and It's ultimate success
Nov IL may be said OF this last
effort Of the farmers OF America as
was said by one Of old, relative to
another matter, II the Alliance is
founded on truth and tho members
thereof are united in good faith TO
remedy the evils that beset and en-
compass them. and they viii employ
only the proper moral and legal means
to aid them in righting their wrongs
il viii stand not alone the test Of tina
but as well eutlive the jeers and the
sneers of Its enemies. indeed. thus
founded and fostered. the seed sown
already would be as bread cast upon
the waters, found after many days TO
support new efforts furnish fresh en-
erRies and send new men to the front
to dare TO do battle for the right 6hd
to put down wrong.
Too many Cycles of time have passed
that have been periods Of oppression
and of wrong because. dominated by
the sutocratic idea that money makes
might and might is right to justify
the masses OF producers of to-day in
cringinR thereto as though he only
was free who could control money and
all else were slaves
True. the cunning tricksteF the
scheminR politician and the shrewd
and selfish of every persuasion have
secured entrance to the door and been
admitted to the fold TO boost their own
ambitious schemes or otherwise graf
ify their selfish aims and have been
disappoln ted and in . measure defeat

fame the good name and to help spoil
the good work attempted by the hun
dreds OF thousands OF men in more

It does not necessarily follow that the
cause Is fraud or the order failure.
Such one was found in twelve !, 800
years ago and may be expected In
every enterprise no matter how good
90 long as men are human
The men who have the most inter-
est In the Alliance are those who
make a living by the blow. the men
who work early and late. from one
end of the year to the other, IN all
seasons, the men who pillow and plant
and work a whole year to reap and
harvest only to have their produce
made the kite TO lift some into a11u,
ence and themselves made the foot
ball to be kicked and cutfed at every
other mans pleasure. These men
have united together for a purp osa
and that purpose is one that must not
be dominated by either politician or
self-seekers or be lifted up or put
down by political parties
The wedding out process is going
on Men are being tried and their
! loyalty put 20 the test and with these
the stability. the integrity and the ne
cessity of the order as a whole Is being
tried even &c by hre Should one be
faint hearted in the work thsrefore7

Nay. only. let this justify us in being
