held meeting and entered into a solemn
and binding contract to make no adj
vances this year One of two conclusions
must be drawn from their action. Either
the merchants Of Sumter are too poor to
extend credit. or they are endeavoling to
forge another link in the chain of slavery
by refusing to extend accommodations
to the laborors and farmers. Alliance
men. cease not the conflict till the money
power is dethroned and business forced
back intoits legitimate channels!
How and why such story us the
above could have originated is a mystery.
The circuators of such report are
simply doing the city of Sumter and her
merchants an injustice. The statement
that the merchants held a meeting and
entered into IA solemn and binding con-
tract to make no advances this year is a
mistake. No such meeting has been held
in this city and the merchants are now
advancing supplies, upon good paper, to
farmers in all sections of the country

DelJaSetl Coin.
Courier.

A debased coin is coin which con-
tains less metal than the standard
amount fixed by law. This may be
caused by abrasion or by fraud Of the
ruling power at the mint. But in the
nature Of things the value of the ma
terial of money has nothing to do with
it's legal value The latter value is de-
ter1nined by law alone. AS Il matter Of
policy it may be desirable to have the
nominal value of coins correspond with
the value Of their metal in the open
market. But the coin cannot he SAID to
be "debased' unless it contains less
metal than the law requires.
Suppose the silver and gold coins of
this country should be diminished just
one half. what would result! Prices in
this country. measured by orr coin,
would be doubled. but it would have no
effect whatever upon our foreign trade.
Gold and silver would pay balances on
exactly the same basis as before. viz:
Their commodity value. jay Burrows

Nothing but Gambling.

The bill before the senate to stop all
dealings in futures and options, both in
grain and provisions, might be a good
law for certain reasons.
First We do not think that prices OIL
cash markets would be as subject to sud-
den changes. which we all know makes
it more uncertain for shippers of grain Or
producers of same Gf they ship their
product).
Second-Ifsupply and demand rule and
prices regulate themselves accordingly.
would there not be more satisfaction to
the producer, who, if any one, should be
entitled to this blessing?
Third We not believe that it is of any
benefit to the producer in the long run.
as prices are Just as likely to he below r
natural price as above, according to the
element that has control.
Fourth-Iti is the spot market (as gen.
eral thing that the producer gets at time
of sale. and if dealing in futures and OPP
tions is any advantage to the producer
(as held by the advocates) it must have
some effect on the cash hiarket. and if it
does the sooner it is done away with the
better, and Il very good reason why it
should be-
Fifth-As far us we can learn the pub
lic sentiment is not in favor OF what they
call one species OF gambling. Whether
it is or is not beneficial transaction
many do not profess to know. Bat ii it
is any benefit 20 the producer it is only
accidental Men do not gamble in fu-
lures and options to make money for TIE
producer. That is not what they are
thinking about. John A. Newkirk, of

Minnesota and TIE =. A. and I. o.


In connection with the rulnored ANAL
gamation of the Minnesota Alliance with
the Southern Alliance. or the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial union, the fol-
lowing letter published in The Union,
of Bird Island. Minnesota, is interesting:
"Osceola Alliance, No. 7S4, met on
the ODD. and by unanimous vote went
into the |. o., and have now taken up
the secret work. For the benefit of other
Alliances in the county ! will state thas

sation to organize in this county, and if
any Alliance or Alliance members wish
information in regard to the |. U. | am
ready to give it. am thoroughly salts
fled it is the only way to keep the Ali
aDce strong and make it's work effective.
Will also say that there is nothing in the
obligations or secrets that will in any
way interfere with a persons religion or
political principles. So, Alliance men
and farmers. | wish to say. watch the
disappearance of the national banknote,
gold certificate and old issue of green
backs. and also observe how plentifully
the new bankers fiat greenbacks are
coming into circulation, and above all
things watch the wording of all bonds
and obligations you give, and if they are
worded payable in gold don't sign
them AS well let your property go at
once.
IF political campaigns have been ex-
citing over the tariff. which in compari-
son with the financial, transportation
and land questions, is as one TO one mil
lion. You will notice that neither of the
old parties dare touch those three ques-
tons. Were they to be made national
political issues. it would knock the two
old parties higher than 'Gilroy's kite
The men who are the cause of the
financial, transportation and land injus-
tees are the head and shoulders of both
the Republican and Democratic parties.
hence they dare not take up those issues
Even five cents difference on that little
tariff question is sufficient to put in or
drive out Of power either of those parties.
1t is left for the Peoples party to take
up these issues. and by doing so will
show conclusively that there is not one
particle of difference in the old parties;
both are too corrupt for the laboring
people. HAMLIN V: PooRE."
