Journal Of the I knights 81 Labor:
The question of whether this is to be
nation of plutocrats and slaves or OF
freemen is In the balance In 1879
our forefathers gave the death blow
to monarchtsm because it was tyran-
nical and sapped the resources of tho
nation. The nineteenth century is
witnessing the forebodings of the
great struggle whose aim is to abolish
a system which, by enabling few to
absorb the wealth of the nation, is
more tyrannical than ever a king
could be!

The Advance journal: That the
money question is becoming the, all
absorbing, overshadowing question of
the hour and that it is the question
that affects all classes and callings
alike, no one who has watched the
signs of the times can deny. The
farmers were led to believe for long
time. that "overproduction" was tle
bane of all their troubles and the
cause of present low prices. But when
they began to investigate they found
that underconsumption. caused by a
contraction of the currency, was the
true and only cause. And what is be-
ing done to increase the volume OF
currency. to the end that productive
labor may receive a just and equitable
reward? We pause for reply.
The Weekly Roller: Keep your
Alliance alive. Go to every meeting
The Alliance is the best school. Ii
the old officers neglect to act call a
meeting. re-elect new officers and
then meet regularly at least once
every two weeks. We are astonished

permitted to become sdefunct IN
vite all old members back. Don't
become discouraged because they
don't at once see as you do. Remember
the great work that has been accom-
phi he'd in the last sixteen years and
appreciate that the Alliance is the
grundest opportunity for education
that ever has been or ever can be Of
fered to the people.
