JUST SO.

But the Alliance Must Let the National
Union Co. Severely Alone.
There is a mistaken idea prevalent
In the minds of large number Of
manufacturers and dealers, that the
alliance and other reform movements
are antagonistic to their business In
terests
This is purely a misconception Of the
true objects Of the reform agitation
now stirring our country from center
to circumference.
The interests Of the entire movement
are closely allied with the business
prosperity of every legitimate enter
prise and use, and this can be made
clear to any uuprejudiced mind who
will take the time to thoroughly in
vestigate-
The farmers know full well that
they are only part of q great whole,
and that all parts must be fairly con.
sidered before they may expect . bet
tering Of this condition. That a gem
eral activity and prosperity In all
branches Of business means q larger
purchasing power hence better prices
and greater demand for everything
raised by the farmers, or manufactured
by the mechanics and handled by legi-
innate dealers
Reform takes issue with graspinQ
monopolies and corrupt politicians, and
these will be fought with all the power
we can command
The manufacturer or business man
who has goods for sale at reasonable
profit is not classed as a monopolist or
but the veriest fool, for well we know
as long as the competitive system Of
production and distribution is the rule
OF Life they will be necessary part Of
it
The boards of trade option dealers,
