The leaven that was put into the re.
form movement years ago is fast
spreading in this country, and there is
general awakening among the peo-
pie, and general knowledge OF the
wealth producers OF the country is
sought for While large crowds meet
together to listen TO the true political
gospel expounded by labor leaders
and instead OF farmers and laboring
men going to the polls as Democrats
and Republicans they go as neigh
borS with brOtherly love for each
other and this love extends to our
homes Of all good citizens. We do
not feel like asking anything for the
West that would be detrimental to the
East or South. We want laws enacted
from time TO time that will develop
the intellectual power OF man and will
be productive Of the highest standard
Of Christian civilization. and the con-
ference at ST. Louis tells us that this
condition not only exists here but 1t ex-
tends over tho whole country, which
tells us that the same laws have pro-
duced the same conditions In all the
States that they have here and that
we all agree as TO the remedy. and
this tells me that with the proper
armor bearers and the general knowl.

objects of the Alliance.

The Alliance has no other object or
purpose than to further and advance
the interests and prosperity of every
farmer That is its highest aim, its
loftiest purpose, and noblest under
taking. 1t has no other mission, OBJ
iect or purpose. 1t was born OF the
necessity and suffering of the people
engaged in agriculture. to organize
and labor in unison for the promotion
of their welfare. The course it has
adopted to attain these ends may not
be the wisest and best but it is GER
tain that they have been adopted after
mature and earnest study and consid-
erat on OF the problems involved.
and that what is undertaken is hon.
estly, earnestly undertaken, with no
other purpose or object except the
elevation OF the vocation OF agricul-
ture and the upbuilding and uplifting
OF every man. woman or child en-
gagged in or dependent upon that vo
cation. Those who have held back
and hesitated may find fault and even
oppose what is undertaken; buff they
had embarked in the work at its in
cipienoy and studied it in all Of its
trials and vicissitudes. and labored as
earnestly and zealously as others
whom they condemn. they would have
been in different attitude toward the
organization, and felt differently
toward those who have sacrificed their
time and labor In their behalf and for
the promotion OF their interests. They
have done the best they knew. II
may not have been wise but 1t has
been honest sincere and earnest; aud
whatever may be the fate OF their eff
forts, they have been heroes in the
strife. Alliance Herald.

Honaaa dollar.

Poor old, honost dollar Was
there ever anything more senseless
and puerile than this prolonged insinu-
ating depreciation OF the silver dollar,
which has SO largely formed the
stock 10 trade OF the free.coinage
obstructionistP And this when all
know that any dollar stamped as
such by the government is an hon
est dollar" while any such dollar
will pay 100 cents OF debt and buy
100 cents worth Of any commodity
that is for sale In the market no mat
ter whether silver paper or gold.
The legal tender inscription makes
the dollar good dollar. Any dollar
that will not do this is not a good one,
and nobody wants such a dollar.
Therefore, all this loud pretense and
hue and cry is the merest trash, bosh.
and nothing more. When the law
creates aud puts in circulation legal
tender money. be it silver or anything
else. that Is good, honest money and
it Is entitled to the confidence and
recognition OF all loyal men. This Is
good law and good sense, good ethics
good politics and sound policy. Ma

Freaks OF Nature.

free coinage law II It's editor does
not know better than this he is fit

does and still persists In these efforts
at deception. there is another public
institution TO which he might very
properly be assigned. There Is no
provision IN our laws however for
the apprehension OF such characters.
Their habitual prevarications have
been considered harmless and they
have been permitted to run at large.
They have been regarded as freaks Of
nature and sub ,ects Of amusement to
the curious. Their numbers have In.
creased so rapidly OF late however
as TO deprive them even OF their nov
city. As they cease to become OBJ
jects OF curiosity they become bores;
and society has little patience with
them. What provision will be male

THE idea OF having money az
forded the masses by the government
so that the banks and money lenders
cannot control them is preposterous
The whole scheme is an outrage!
The better element will never sub.
NIT to any such foolishnessl There
are people made to be managed and
controlled. and to work for others
and there is no power that can aG-
ford equal chances and equal oppor-
tunlties to ALL" These remarks fell
from the lips of gentleman we'll
dressed, intelligent and the owner
of good farm. He seemed to be
imbued with the earnestness OF his
statements and no doubt was sincere
in all he said. On inquiry the
splendid farm OF that gentleman
was found to be under mortgage to
a syndicate for half its value. He
rents out most OF it and farms on u
small portion. He is barely able
to pay rent to his master, known in
more polite terms, as interest TO the
syndicate. lie can never redeem his
land unless there shall come favor.
able change in the financial system,
by which the masses shall be afforded
money without the Intervention
OF the banks and money-lenders. But
this man is queer specimen He is
u strange freak. He labors under the
hallucinatlon that he owns a farm
when in fact he is only tenant who
has sub-tenants. He believes he is
not Of the masses, but sort OF su,
perior being. to whom the common
affairs of life do not reach, and that
all this contention for 'equal rights
to all'' does not reach nor Affect him.
lie is above it, There are many of
the same sort They are too proud
to admit that they have failed at
farming! that they are bHnkrupts; that
their homes belong to others; but
they still think they belong TO the
wealthy and money-lending part of
the community financial position
they probably once held More Gu
rious still, they suspect that all their
neighbors look upon them still as tho
wealthy and influential citizen OF yore.
These people deserve sympathy; they
merit commiseratioD they know not
what changes have come to them;
they do not realize the fact that they
are in the tolls OF an octopus that is
gradually tightening upon them and
will eventually consume all their sub
stance and leave them in penury; they
cannot wake up; they cannot realize
the changes that have taken place
they cannot know the fact that the
money sought for the masses is thel
only hope OF redemption from deb
and freedom from serfdom.

rHE PEOPLES MOVEMENT.

Progress, Not to Men.
CARLYLE voiced the sentiment Of
many a Disconnected one when he
said: 1T is not to die or even TO die
of hunger that makes man wretched.
Many men have died, all men must
die. But it is to live miserable We
know not why; to work sore and yet

1t is just this spirit that calls to-

time. The reformers are law-abidiug
citizens says a writer in the National
Economist usually honest industrious
and conscientious. But in addition
to their daily toll they have set them
selves the task OF finding some way
of making life more endurable for
themselves and the masses who have
no champion to plead their cause.
The reform movement in the eyes OF
the conventional world has committed
an objectionable fault 1t has dared
to be dissatisfied with the existing in
dustrial condition. With all rever-
ence for our free institutions 1t does
not think them perfect nor lii many
respects, even equitable. 1t feels that
the distributive forces of society which
have developed during the last centu-
ry must be re. arranged to fit the con-
ditions which have created them. We
have a monopoly of political or social

our projects with anybody who cares
to study them sufficiently to be in a
position to analyze or criticise. We
are eager for new suggestions and
better remedies. We have transferred
our homage from hereditary kings and
moneyed princes. We are no less
reverent than the common people Of
old, but we now do homage, not to
men, but to new ideas and The spirit

that failed to occur they have reported
constantly that the Alliance had gone

Now that tho great convention has
met and organized a party on plat
form that will have the support OF
about two-thirds OF the voters OF the
country they announce that they will
have to submit with patience to a kind
of temporary craze that has seized a
few fanatics but can have no perma-
nent effect upon the politics OF the
country. Every one OF the former
predictions has failed and the pro-
phets of evil would revise their judg,
