ALLIANCE NOTES.

1t is money versus muscle. In the
end money will not be in it
The bread-and- butter brigade at
Minneapolis made the nominations.
Reid, the tail end of the republican
ticket, is best known as an enemy of
organized labor.
Then who can see any hope in
the republican platform for the toiling
masses has remarkable eye.
According to the republican plat
*orm, the luxuries of life should be
placed only within reach of the rich.
Harrison and Reid represent repub-
lean ideas better than any other posi-
bic combination.-Pitt Kansan
No laboring man has right to say
one word against millionaires so long
as he votes for a system that produces
millionaires.
The Minneapolis cat fight termi-
mated properly. 1t straddled the silver
question and renominated Harrison.
Topeka Advocate.
The farmers on the one hand and
the city laborers on the other will get
but small portion of their rights until
they act together politically.-Cincin-
natl Herald.
1t not infrequently happens that
labor organizations while wasting their
time in fighting effects, go periodically
to the polls and vote the causes of those
effects.-West Coast Mail.
If the democrats adopt a "silver
plank similar to the republican one,
1t will leave the peoples party the only
supporter of free coinage, and it should
be a winner. Topeka Tribune
The international monetary confer
ence dodge is simply scheme to give
the gold bugs another four years in
which to more firmly rivet the shackles
upon the people. Great Godl Are ye
free men?-Denver Road.
The international silver conference
and the talk of monetary convention
is all fraud. The object is to stave off
the inevitable. All the delegates ap-
pointed were bankers and money lend
ers.-Progressive Farmer.
The republican national platform
wants one dollar worth as much as any
other. ANY other dollar" means a
gold dollar, and our bonds are to be
paid in ANY other" dollars. Are we
correct?-Topeka Tribune.
The peoples party polled between
25 and 80 per cent. of the total vote in
Oregon, practically all gained since the
st. Louis conference, and carried a
number of counties. No candidate re-
ceived a majority of the votes cast.
The peoples party vote was all that
was expected in this election and in
sures the presidential electors for the
Omaha nominee in November.-Iowa
Farmers Tribune.
Let our people not swerve an inch
in fighting the cunning scheme of an
international silver conference. The
trick is got up to stave off vote on sill
yer in congress, and have great fuss
and feather side show in the worlds
fair next year, and again show us chow
not to do it." We should stand alone
in the matter. France for many years
held silver up unaided. We can do so
if needed. Express.
The republican party believes in both gold
and silver money, and demands that every dol
lar shall be as good as every other dollar-Bee.
Very good, but it should be remem-
bered that the republican party is the
only party that ever caused a dollar to
be made that was not as good as every
other dollar, and that it is still drawing
its support from those in whose interest
the exception clause was inserted in the
greenback dollar for the purpose of de-
preciating it Omaha Tocsin.
The natural resources of the United
Staf +(D,-
lation than any nation upon Gods foot
stool. Why should we permit Shylock
then to command mot suggest) that this
country listen to England and submit
to being controlled in our financial
policies by that pawnbroker f1y-speck
upon the face OF the earth. Out upon
such cowardice and deception. Let the
people rise up in their might and stran-
gle the politicians who are hand in
glove with the Rothschilds to impover-
ish this nation.
AT the peoples party state conven-
ton in Indianapolis last week the fol-
lowing clear cut financial plank was
adopted in the platform: 1--WE demand
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and condemn President Harrison for
Calling IIlc luItTIdJlO1dl monet larry con-
ference and asking other nations to as
sist us in fixing value on our silver.
We regard it as an effort to demonetize
the silver dollar by international agree
ment. We demand that the amount of
circulating medium be speedily in
creasd to not less than $50 per capita"
The Indian government has made
public dispatch of March % sent
by them to the imperial govern
ment urging the latter to give the
strongest support to any proposals
for an international silver conference.
''The stoppage of silver coinage in
America would" the dispatch remarks,
further depress the price, and as it
would be certain to come suddenly, if
at all, this government will find them
selves unprepared. 1t is, therefore, inn
portant that the subject be fully con-
sidered beforehand in order to protect
Indian interests as far as possible. -
