Tons OF Surprise.

There will be tons Of surprise shipped
north after the 9Th of November, before
which this little snteprandial Alabama
matter will dwindle into utter insignif-
canoe. Virginia, the good old north
state: South Carolina, Georgia and
Texas will exhibit some queer antics
queer as compared with the past, but
reasonable and sober when compared
with cotton at six cents and silver on
down grade. and S4H cents at that. Be
prepared for surprises, as the Irishman

through the medium OF political party.
lay down three common sense prop
Ositions: l. 1t is always necessary TO
follow up political party, after they
have promised. to compel them to keep
their promises. 9. 1t is very improb-
able that any political party will ell
act our demands into law unless they
first promise to do so. 3. 1t is ut
terly ridiculous to expect political
party to enact our demands into law SO
long as they are fighting them. The
man who has sufficient faith to believe
that they will has enough to remove
q mountain; but faith even of that kind
will never move political party. They
live on and are moved by votes. Our
first duty as citizens is to examine well
the promises of all political parties as
contained in their platform Of princi-
pies, and to follow it up by their record
to learn which political party is Or
party.
One political party having adopted
our demands, it would be in direct con-
flict with our obligation to ask you to
support political party that has not
done so. Worse-it would be asking you
to violate the sacred right of franchise,
which should be guarded as the ark of
our covenant. AS an organization we
are in honor bound to support our prin-
ciples. As citizens it is our duty to
vote our principles. Our order is on
trial. We have reached point where
we are certain to lose some members.
and it is wise to consider the situation
carefully.
To push on aggressively and in earnest
we will lose those who love their old
party bondage better than our principles.
To be weak or vacillating at this critical
time will insure the loss of the earnest.
aggressive membership, who are honest
ly advocating our principles as of para
mount Importance to that of any politi-
cal party. No true Alliance man can
hesitate which course to pursue. Adj
uniting loss, which we must, which
method will insure us the greatest gain.
Unquestionably the honest, manly. con-
sistent course of voting as we talk. re-
solve, demand and pledge. Experience
in the state elections, where we have
voted for our principles, has demon
strated that our gains have more than
balanced our losses in numbers and
strengthened us immensely in prestige
and influence.
A few may be led away with the idea
that because political party has adopt
ed our demands our efforts should now
be concentrated solely for the party.
This would be grave mistake. We
must perpetuate and strengthen our or
ganization as bulwark of our princi-
pies, present and prospective; a tower
of strength to aid the party adopting
our demands, and a terror to the party
fighting them. In other words. we must
remain independent of and superior to
political parties.
Our only hope and safety is in perpet-
uating and perfecting our organization
pressing forward consistently and per-
sistently until victory is assured. Fra
ternally. Fl. l.. LoUCKs.

ALLIANCE AND PAX
DDRESS OF PRESIDENT LOJCES,
OF THE N. r. A. AND |. U.

II Is the Duty OF the Alliance to Vote
in Support Of Its political Views" but
the Protective and Educational Organ
ixation Must BE Perpetuated.
To the Members of the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union:
For years we have been studying Pc
litical economy-'the science of gov
trnment'-from strictly nonpartisan
,tandpoint, the only correct method of
rrriving at the truth in politics. With
unparalleled unanimity and enthusiasm
we have united on series of demands
which have been adopted. affirmed and
reafirmed by our supreme -council, our
state, county and subordinate Alliances
Last February at st. Louis they were
Endorsed by twenty-one other great la
bor organizations. ~
These demands are the result Of many
years patient study and discussion of
the labor problem. We believe they are
Just and essential. The time has now
arrived to test whether we are going to
be practical o. not. The only way to
secure the enactment of these demands
into law is through political action
legislation. We have passed through
the stages of discussion, resolutions and
demanding. These are all preliminary
and necessary to the final act of voting
Unless followed up by our ballots all
that we have done will have been in
vain. The difficulty that now confronts
us as an organization is that while we
are unit on our demands we are not
as to methods of securing them. We
all must agree on the common sense
proposition that the only way of secur-
ing them is to vote for them. UnfOrtu-
nately our craftsmanship in some cases
has proved stronger than our allegiance
to our principles.
When we first made our political de-
mands, we to that extent became po-
litical organization. In doing SO we did
not become political party, nor do |
think we, as class, ever should. so
long as other classes and professions re-
main organized rs classes or professions
we, too, must perpetuate and strengthen
our organization. But having, as an
organization. made certain political de-
mands, there was an implied promise
that if they cid we would support them:
if not, we would oppose them. We have
been met with the contention that this
would interfere with our political free
dom. Before taking the obligation we
were assured that it will not conflict
with the freedom of your political or re-
hgious views.
The Alliance has been an educator.
Our demands are onr political views.
Instead of interfering with. we urge
our members to stand by and support
and vote for their political views. 1t is
the only honest and consistent thing we
can do. If You believe any other plat
form of principles of more Importance
than ours, then they are your political
views. and it is your duty to support
them in preference to ours. Our de
mands can only. be crystallized into law

quotations.: I'VE were in Peril; They
eaated the Dangsr;'' ''Ths Republic
Called, They Answered with Their Blood;"
I'VE were Highly Resssolved that the Dead
