THE ALLIANCE.

T Southern Alliance Farmer: Con-
vict labor is the most obnoxious form
OF slavery. It places at the mercy
OF greed workers who have forfeited
the good will Of society. and who are
therefore unable to appeal to public
sentiment for redress.
" Western New York Farmer: Sem
ator Hill said in an interview recent
tly. when you hear q Democrat
talking about force bills just ask
him If the Eastern Democrats didn't
threaten the Southern and Western
Democrats with one if they forced the
free coinage Of silver onto them"

five times. And these are all Arkan-

! Peoples Press quotes Sam Small:
'The Georgia election may have sur
prised the Democrats of the North.
but they were not as much surprised
as the Democrats OF the South. The
result of the election means that the
solid South is broken. and, now. if
we could only break up the solid
North. there would be more hope for
our country"
New Nation: The attention of papers
which have been jumping on President
Marion Butler of North Carolina is
called to this statement Marion
Butler is a man calculated to make
his mark in this country and he does
all things wisely conservatiyely and
we'll. About 80 per cent of the Far
mers' Alliance followed Marion Butler
into the third party in North Caro-

Alliance Herald: Shall the dollar
be made dearer. so that it will require
more of your products to pay your
debts. or shall the currency be ex-
banded. so that products will command
better prices labor be given employ
ment at higher wages. and all the in
dustries of the country be stimulated
by the demand for their products by
a general prosperity? That is the
principal question.
Florida Times Union. Democrat
comments upon the Buffalo strike in
a manner which deserves record for
its insolence: The defiant and ag-
gressive attitude which organized
labor has assumed of late indicates
that the trades unions have formed
an exaggerated estimate of the
'timidity of capital and of their own
strength. 1t also proves more con-
clusively than ever that these
organizations are exerting most
pernicious influence over the laboring
classes and tyrannizing over them
more then over the employers.

Advocate and Tribune: What the
Peoples party wants is not to lower
the condition of any class. but to bet
ter the condition of others Not to
lower the income of anyone below a
point of comfortable living, but to
raise tho income of those who are
now earning a comfortable living but
not getting it. It is not necessary for
a man to be millionaire to be happy.
On the other hand. under the present
standard of values the presence of
80. 900 millionaires signifies the pres.
ence Of a vast amount of poverty and
want. Who wouldn' be calamity
