About now you can find out who hs
The Alliance real bad and who has no
Some of the fellows who want offic
and have been promised one haven
got it bad.
The Pennsylvania farmer: Tn
farmers of this country have more es
tens1ve, more compact smore system
Rtic and moro ably managed organiza
lions than ever before. Let Their
proceed to work now as they ought
and the farmers of this country Cal
get the recognition they deserve.

The Living Truth: Our politica
economists of the Wall street variet,
are pulling at the wrong end of thu
rope. They say overproduction is tn,
trouble; we say it is under consump
ton. Give the people more none,
and they will buy more goods Thi.
will increase the demand just as if the
production was diminished.

The Tulare Valley Citizen: Is there
any way to enforce the demands Of
the people or secure the enactment oil
them into laws except by political &C.
ton? Such action will be necessary
to decide who snail rule this country;
the citizen Or the dollar Money
should be the servant of the people,
not their master. 1t should be used
for their benefit; not to Cypress them.
x
ment OF the producers and laborers is
for equal rights to all and special
favors to none. Every man who tolls
for his daily bread whether in store,
shop, Office. furnace or field. is equally
interested. The success of it means
benefit for all. It's failure means
heavier burdens. more toll and less
profits to all. Buckle on your armor
and fight for your rights and your
liberty. the protection of home and the
freedom of your children.
The Randolph Reformer: In answer
10 parties who are so anxiously inquir-
ing ii the Alliance is going into poll
tics we say no, not if by that they
mean will the Alliance go into caucus.
ing. conventioning, and machining of
a new party. But if it is meant, will
the Alliance use all legitimate means
to secure the nomination and election
OF men who will stand squarely, avow-
eddy and unequivocally on the plat
form OF their state and national de-
mands then we answer yes The slang
editor is out but when he comes in
we will get him to say do YOU
catch?"
The Butler Herald: These hard
times are awful to be borne, but thew
are opening the eyes of the farmers
more and convincing them more thor
oughly by demonstration of the results
OF the pernicious policies in existence
and ruinous system in vogue than all
the argument that could be produced.
Inc unprejudiced and thoughtful bus
mess man is also having the scales to
1all from his eyes, and he is looking
at the lniquities in vogue that must
eventually engulf him in ruin with
some concern. The farmers demands
are usually as advantageous and ben
eficial to one as another. All the
prosperity Of this country is based on
agriculture. When that fails to weld
profit and wealth. all dependent upon

extent it is damaged. The farmer that

systems must have very peculiar
views and still more unfortunatc com
prehension.

The Peoples Aid Alliance Review:
Alliance men and all connected with
the Alliance should not in the least
nave any feeling of DISAGREEMENT
or think OF taking their hand from the
pillow and looking back. OF course we
sometimes hear that the Alliance is
playing out here or there. bus do not
believe any such thing! 1t is grand
and just cause. and those who are trv-
ing to annihilate it root and branches :
are the Jealous ones and clingers to
Inc old parties whence they expect J
Doodle" Shame on such men to
make our laws! We've had enough Of
such. The progress made by ME
armers' Alliance thus far has been n
The outlook is magnifi- u

Let not one fall out of the ranks Int O

Remember the old adage: United a
