The Alliance State Organ Declares That
the Time of Waiting on the Two Old
Parties Is Past.
The great labor conference which
was called by tho national alliance to
meet in st. Louis on the 23d of Febru-
airy IS over. Their actions are now part
of history and the question is will the
alliance accept the action of their own
convention in good faith, or will they
repudiate it. Ii
Never in the history of the country
was there more enthusiastic or har-.
monious conference of representatives
of the industrial and productive organ
izations It was an enthusiasm born
of necessity and demonstrated the com
dition of the country and determination
of the working people to have reform
at any cost. It is true that there were
some Irregularities in the convention,
but these did in no way affect the COM
illusions reached and the declaratio
put forth to the wealth producers of
the nation.
From one end of the country to the
other the alliance people were told by
the leaders and officers to wait the ac-
ton Of the February conference This
would give the democratic congress q
shance to pass some measure of relief
that would convince the masses of the
determination Of that party to give the
country the demanded reforms The
alliance waited patiently for the action
of congress and the coming February
conference. Congress has done moth
ing, not even passed the free silver
bill, and the St Louis conference has
met and acted. Can there be any
reason now given why the alliance
should not abide the action of the. con-
ference? Must the order wait longer
on the existing political parties for the
relief that the country demands or
shall it take this matter in hand and
proceed in union and independence to
obtain our Ocala demands?
The convention adopted a platform !
and an address to the people of the
United States, which was passed
unanimously and with the greatest en-
thusiasm The platform, in the main,
is the same as the Ocala, the exceptions
being minor details. Upon this plat
form they invite all honest men to join
with them and help them to carry
these principles to victory.
In their political declaration they
say: eve declare our union and indie
pendence. We assert our purpose to
vote with that political organization
which represents our principles.
Ninety per cent Of our people will
accept this declaration in good faith
and will stand by it. In no other way
can our people ever hope to obtain the
much needed relief. It is only through
independent and intelligent action that
we can succeed -
We must be united in our efforts and
harmonious in our plans, and for this
purpose we suggest that every sub-al-
lance in the state convene on or before
Saturday, March 10, for the purpose of
indorsing the st. Louis conference.
Let the platform and address be dis
cussed and then passed upon in the
light Of reason. Let the sub-alliances
pass upon this question, and if they in-
dorse the action of the conference there
need be no fear of the result. We sug.
gest this plan for the purpose of OBJ
tanning concert of action among all of
the members Of the organization and
to prevent any division which might
otherwise occur. This plan was sug-
gested by the conference and we be-
lieve it a wise one. When a majority
Of the organization in Georgia speak
let all acquiesce and put their shoulder
to the wheel and push the fight to vic
tory.
We must let nothing divide the order
at this time, and for this reason we APP
peal to the members to speak ont At
all times we can afford to stand BY the
intelligent and unprujudiced action OF
the people. They are always safe and
conservative. and when left to their
sober Judgment they will decide for
the right Atlanta (Ga) Southern AL
lance Farmer.
