FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

Money is the creation of law
wealth the creation of labor. Law
ought to provide money enough to float
the products of labor.
So soon as the people assume own
ership and control of all natural and
artificial monopolies, the country will
cease to create millionaires.-P burgh
Kansan.
Let the alliance and peoples party
be on their guard! Our foes are not al
wavs in front OF us There are some
times greater dangers within than with
out. Watch as well as work "A lliance

The ownership of land by non-res-
ident aliens, is no more inimical to the
welfare of state than Ian | ownership
by nonresident citizens. The evil
turks in the non-residance and not in
the personality. y.-Pittsburgh Kansan
If money is invested in any manner
that a gwen amount will earn as much
il year as one hundred laborers can
earn in the same time, the question
arises, how much money viii have to
be inyests in the same manner to reap
the entire production of ali laborers
No, the st Loais meeting is not to
nominate the next president of the
United States, but it is quite sure it
will agree upon day and place for
convention to nominate candidate
for the presidency that we are going to
do our level best to elect.-Missouri
World.
Money has power to accumulate,
and labor the power to earn. The few
only have money and the many have
labor. So the few, by investment of
money, accumulate the productions of
the poor, or of the many. There is a
reason why we have miilionaires and
tramps.-St Louis Monitor.
Just now the unconstitutional yelp-
ers are keeping quiet. When the presi-
dent recommends that the government
indorse the canal company's note for
$780, 900, 900 and present opponents in
and out of congress are favoring a loan
of $5,000,00O to the worlds fair, it
stands these yelpers in hand to shut up
shop for awhile. World
Senator Carlisle is authority for the
statement that Grover Cleveland ad-
mitted he had never studied the tariff
question until after he was electe
president and that he was for low tariff
just because the party said it was
right The idea of putting such a man
to the front to think for all America.
How manv other men will drop in on
other policies because the party saws
so?-Weekly Toiler.
If you mean to vote to viii, and
that for ticket that represents the
public interests, organize tD attend st.
Louis. Do not rest in confidence that
no effort will be made to defeat inde-
pendent ction. The sliclzest manipu-
lators il the political arena are now at
work to defeat the purpose of that con-
ference, and rednce the atte ldance and
make of it grand fizzle 1t will fizzle
if the rank and file do not take hold
and force action from the leaders. We
know whereof we speak

The New York World has come ont
in a two-column editorial questioning
the availability of Mr.. Cleveland for the
president al nomination. This is a part
in the play. The people are to be hum
bugged again if possible The alliance
in the south has boldly declared that
it would not support Cleveland. To
prepare the way for Hill the south was
given the speakership. aud Hill comes
out in favor of silver coinage. Cleve-
land is to be set aside and Hill taken
up, and yet Wall street will have as
faithful tool in Hill as in Cleveland.

When Jay Gould says: ST can hire
one-half the farmers of the United
States to shoot the other half to death"
he is nearer the truth than many farm
ers would care to admit, is he not?
When millions of farmers will go to the
polls year after year and by their votes,
with eyes wide open, too, impose upon
themselves a system that allows jaw
Gould and his fellow robbers to system-
atically rob them, and they knowing
just what they are doing, we don't
know about half of them. but many of
them would, in their partisan blindness,
be ready to take arms to defend Jaw
Gould.-Alliance Tribune
There is just one thing hat attracts
the attention and commands the re-
spect of the plutocrats and the free
and-go-easy mildle classes more than
all others combined. One thing the
plutocratic press can't lie about. 1t is
votes. The people may resolute and
hold enthusiastic meetings from now
till rooms day, but if they do not back
it up with votes their efforts are all in
vain The only proof of sincerity a
man can give of his intentions is to
vote as he talks. Resolutions and en-
thusiastic gatherings are good in their
place, but what we need, gentlemen.
is votes. Votes alone can settle the
problem with which we are graphing.
Get ready to vote or National
Reformer.
Senator Sherman has re-introduced
his Nicaragua canal bill of last session.
1t provides that the government NAV
from time t. time issue bonds to the
amount of 100000, 900 in aid of the
canal company, at three rer cent, for
which it shall hol first lien upon the
canal and all the property of the COM
pany 1t is the Union Pacific railroad
steal proposed to be repeated. Sem
ator Sherman is not afraid of coming
in conflict with the constitution in any
proposition for government loans to
corporations but when a proposition
is made for the gov .rnment to aid its
needy mortgage and debt burdeued
people, the constitution stands as an
insurmountabie barrier in the way of
it The senator is a hyp2crite and a
knave.
