The Advocate (Escondido, Cal) says:
Farmers are always ready to sell their
products at reasonable price. But as
rule, grain goes through the hands of
spectators, no matter what the price
may be which the farmer gets. Ii he
should insist on getting as much as 81. 10
per bushel, and would not part with it
for less than that price, the Spectator
would take it, and after getting into the
hands of the Spectator there's no telling |
where the price will go.

The Southern Alliance Farmer Cat |
lanta, Ga.) says: Merchants, doctors,
lawyers and all other professional men
have been convinced of the need of this
conntry-more money. This is one de-
mand of the Alliance that has been forced
upon the public. Everybody has felt
the need of more money and for this
reason the Alliance strength has been in
creased and the next election will find
many in the ranks who were opposed to
us last fall. Experience is dear school,
but some people will learn in no other.

The Alliance Herald (Montgomery,
Ala.) says: Why is money so scarce2
Because the policy of the government is
to contract the currency. Why is it the
policy of the government Does not the
government belong to the people, and is
not the will of the people the sovereign
power of the government Yes, that is
true; but the people have been letting
the politicians stand for the people and
the interests of the politician be the su-
preme policy OF the government. The
politicians are in good condition. The
big office-holder is in clover. AS long as
the people permit themselves to be bossed
by them they will continue in clover,
and the people will be in distress.
The Weekly Appeal (Simsboro, Lay
says: The Alliance have placed their
demands before the country, and these
demands are right and just; yet both the
Democratic and Republican parties repu-
diate these demands and denounce the
Alliance as third party cranks, fiat infla-
tionists, centralists and socialists. Yet
what do they demand2 Do they ask for
anything more than has already been
granted to others2 Let us see. The
principal demands can be stated in few
words, viz: Stop the payment of inter
est by placing the bondholders on the
same footing with others, and pay his
demands as you pay others. Linn him

his work. Adopt and act on the motto
that what is money for one is money for
all. Add to the taxable property of the
country by such legislation as will force
idle capital from bank vaults into actual
circulation, and convert bonds into cur
reucy, and protect laborers more and
bankers, bondholders and corporations
less.

The New Era (Cass, Mich. says: sThe
government ownership and control of
railroads is one of the growing issues and
ideas of our country. Capitalization in
the hands of all the people (the govern
menD does not seem to be as bad as cen
tralization in the hands of few individ-
ualS, with power greater almost than
the government ITSELF In Australia the
government owns the railroads. 1t only

Communication rates for local service is

from his work distance of miles for Q

tickets good for 30-mile trips are sold

low as the rates seem to be, we are fully
