but withhold it from the farmers is
the cry Of money Spectators; and 1t
Is the cry of all the politicians in both
old parties
The Pioneer Exponent: The cohe-
Give power OF public plumber is one
thing which has a tendency to cement
the leaders Of the two old parties to-
gether. and causeth them to sleep
under the same blanket whenever
necessary to defeat the people.
The Economist: The man who farms
performs his labor with the hope of
reward for his toll So long as the
money power robs OF the fruits OF his
labor, just so long should he devote
more talk to reform OF the financial
system than discussion of how to make
more crops. Not only should he talk
but he should be ready to strike down
any man, politically who is in the
way to the accomplishment of that re.
form.
The Brookhaven Leader: The man
who could attend the county Alliance
MEETINGS all over the state and see the
large number of representative sub
stautial farmers who compose them,
look into their earnest, resolute
faces and hear their intelligent dis
cussions OF political and financial
questions. and say the subtreasury is
dead issue and the Alliance done for
as a political factor might not be as
big fool as Thompson's colt but it
wouldn't be worth splitting hairs ar

The Farmers and 'Laborers Light.
Prior to the election of 1890 Kansas
ranked fourth in the number of pen
sioners, but since the election it has
advanced very rapidly in pensioners
until now it stands at the head of the
list with pensioners. 1t is easily to be
seen that the soldiers so long as they
stick to the G. o. P, will be like the
colored people - ignored in their
claims. So long as the soldiers are
counted solid, or nearly so, for the G.
o. p. so long will they fail to get
their demands, let them be ever so just.
Alliance Tribune: The enemies OF
the subtreasury plan and land loan
system will awaken in time to the fact
the farmers of this country are very
much in earnest in regard to those
questions. Twenty-Five states and
two territories have Endorsed those
questions with nine votes only in four
states in opposition-twenty- three
states unanimously affirming. These
principles are taking such strong
hold upon the farmers and producers
in general that no power ON earth can
prevent their acceptance by the coun-
try.
The Bevier Appeal: Do not let your
old party prejudice, keep you from
studying the subtreasury plan. Do
not let the old party politician deceive
and mislead you, and keep you from
investigating it He knows that the
corrupt leaders of the old parties will
never work for any change in our
financial system, that will prove bene-
fetal to the masses. 1t is by binding
you to the truth, and keeping you in
ignorance he expects to perpetuate
your serfdom. Let the light shine
upon you. Seek earnestly and hon
estly for, and open your heart to re-
ceive the truth, and you need not fear
the result
The Sentinel: When a farmer de.
clines to take q reform newspaper by
saying: Il haven't got time to read,
just tell him that the politician has
time to read; that the banker has time
to read, that the railroad king has
time to read; that all the schemers,
plunderers and Shylocks of the money
power have time to read. And if the
farmer doesn't want his cause kicked
out of the political field he must take
time to read up" his side OF the ques-
ton. Facts are as essential to voter
as ammunition is to q hunter. Re-
member that there is big game to be
brought down, and it must be done by
intelligent work at the ballot-box.
Alliance Tribune: The Alliance
recognizes the fact that the rich.
through the lid of the old Bosses are
exercising all the powers whether
constitutional or not in this country,
state as we'll as national This the in
dustrial classes antagonize, and they
desire to remedy these evils before
they become too great for remedy.
None can truthfully or successfully
deny that there exists to-day, in this
country, an influential aud controlling
class Of rich men who are more bent
on. getting richer than upon either
honest government or an impartial adj
ministration of the laws. This is not a
theory but a condition which con-
fronts everybody.
The Labor Tribune: The position OF
the Democratic party throughout the
various states on the free coinage of
silver is as ridiculous as anything
could be. The main bosses--the
brainy men-the gentlemen of brains
and courteous instincts" are owned
soul and body by Wall street and the
