gard as paramount to-day than on yesterday.
AS if with the idea of pushing forward their

agents of Mr. Bland that the Committee on

tacitly consented % report an order fixing o

TO OWNERS OF REAL ESTATE !:

TO OWNERS OF REAL ESTATE:
l believe that coming events cast
their shadows before, and that, with
in the near future, all those who
have farms that they wish to sell
are going to have chance at fair
price. l have quite an extensive
correspondence in the east, and be-
lieve that can help all who wish to
sell or to borrow money on their
property. have a plan whereby
we can consolidate our real estate
transfers, and save ourselves, in the
aggregate, hundreds of thousands
of dollars in this state. We can
also save very large amounts by
consolidating our abstracting.,
will attempt, if can get the
farmers to take hold Of it, en- masse,
to make sales for them at IL per
cent, and if it can be done for less,
after it is tried, we will do it.
can make loans on the following
terms: From $1,000 to $3,000,7
per cent; from $4,000 to $4,000,
6 IL per cent; $4,000 and over, 6
per cent, with l IL per cent. cash
commission. The commission is
paid but once. A $1,000 loan
would be 8 IL for the first year,
and straight 7 after that. Special
rates of commission to Alliance men.
Let us, as farmers, do as those in
other branches of business do-con-
solidate our affairs-and we will get
the benefit of lower rates. We ex-
pect to get our loan company ar
ranged soon, and we will then run
the loan business in accordance with
the plan.

F.A.U.G.H !!


Oh give us word that will ex-
press our utter disgust for such
damnable, Internal trucking to
Mammon and boodleism as is now
being INDUCED in by few pretend
ed Peoples party papers and their
companion hirelings who are travel
ing over the Second congressional
district, working their jaws for
Moore, the Democratic candidate for
congress, and trying to throw dust
in the eyes Of the people and make
them think it is for the best interest
tf. the Peoples party to throw our
own nominee over and endorse the
Democratic nominee.
We have just finished reading the
Pleasanton Herald, and to say that
we are Disguised don't begin to ex-
press our feelings. For months the
editor of that paper has been flirting
with the Democratic schemers, and
trying to work a fusion in the Sec
end district. Latimer is the man
who, with old Crazy Chenault, OF
Fl. Scott, met with Democratic
strikers and fixers at Kansas City,
and then published to the world that
a committee from the Democratic
party and one from the Peoples
party had met at Kansas City { in
Missouri, mind you, for the purpose
of arranging for Cooperation >
which, interpreted, meant fusion.
And those meetings were not author
lied by the Peoples chairman, but
were simply little private seances,
run by Latimer, Chenault, ct al.
Not one of the fusion strikers has
given a good reason why the Peo-
Plies party should support Moore.
They say they want fusion in or
der to down Funston.
We say the people would gain
nothing by exchanging beefy fool
for "slick" banker-a man who
lives luxuriously upon interest on
money loaned to men who secured
those loans with mortgages on their
teams, their cows, their implements
and their crops. The beefy fool can
only make butt and laughing-stock
of himself, and take kindergarten
lessons in finance at $50 per lesson |;
but the banker will-well, it seems
to us that the farmers and others of
the common herd" have seen
enough of the consequences OF

In order to stimulate American
composition, The Ladies' Home
Journal has. just made public an
attractive series of liberal prizes
for the best original masical compo-
sition by composers resident in the
United States and Canada. The
prizes call for waltz, piano COM
position, a pleasing ballad and a
popular song, an anthem and the
four best hymn tunes. The compe-
tition is open until November LIST,
next. The opportunity has an an
ditional attractiveness since the
prize compositions will form part Of

an original waltz, and Charles
Gounod and Sir Arthur Sullivan

"Why, Col. Moore is a Peoples

PLATFORM" says the Moore striker.
No, Col. Moore is not Peoples

he can't be a Democrat and Peo-
ple's party man at the same time.

we should throw Gen. Field over
and take up Stevenson
"We've got to have some money
to run this campaign" said one of
Moore's supporters, ..'and Col. Moore
says he has ten thousand dollars to
put into it, That explains the
ardent support he is receiving at the
hands of certain pretenders; and
that is certainly sufficient reason
why honest, conscientious reformers
should oppose Moore. When man
is willing to spend his whole salary
to secure an Office, you can bet your
last dollar that he knows, or thinks
he knows, just where he is going to
get that money back, with big inter-
est. He is dangerous man to rep
resent (?) the people in congress.
When Moore came to Garrett to
attend the congressional convention,
he brought with him old Charley
Robinson-ex-Gov. Robinson. That,
alone, is enough to condemn him in
the minds of all reformers but that
is not all. There followed him, AT
NIGHT, a carload of strikers-Demo-
Gratis, Republicans and mugwumps-
for-revenue. One of the Republican
strikers visited this office and es-
sayed to show us the beauties Of
fusion. Among other remarks, he
said, II tell you, we are trimmers
and fixers." And he was correct.
These trimmers and fixers were
from various parts of the state, many
of them having no interest whatever
in the affairs of the Second district.
They were and are in it for revenue
only.
The whole Moore plan here was
