years ago an English parliament
classed together in the same act
servants. labourers; beggars and vag-
abonds " and required the towns 10
keep stocks for their discipline. 1t

are hundreds Of thousands of business
men all over the land who would

not fear 10 incur the displeasure of
the little bankers and sharks who fur

Alliance Herald: Whoever controls
the money Of the country controls the
destinies of the people. The corpor-
ations are enthroned in control with
Republicans seeking to perpetuate
national banks which is corporate
control and the So called Democratic
party seeking to revive state banks.
which is also corporate control The
Jeifersonian idea is that the govern
ment must directly control the cur
rency. so that all the people will have
their rights respected and the interest
OF each and all be kept equally and
fairly guarded.

Southern Alliance Farmer: Some.
times by electing man to Office we
spoil good patriot and make poor
officer. Office is a public trust and
does not belong to the man who fills
it QGnless he has bought and paid for
it) and he should discharge the
duties which it imposes entirely un-
Influenced by personal motives
Quite too often men. as soon as they
are elected. begin to scheme for re-
election. and not infrequently stultify
their manhood and barter their
honor in their mad desire for con-
tinuance in position.
The poet laureate Of the Carnes-
Vile Enterprise, tunes his Tyre and
sings the following patriotic senti-
ment:
Stand % the rack Yankee Blue,
Johnnie Reb is coming through;
This shall be YOUR battle CRY
Fight to win, or fall and die
Bloody shirts are out of date,
Laid away with strife and hate;
The chasm is, with follies full,
And now together we will pull:
Clasp your hand, raise your eyes,
Light is beamiDg in the skies;''
Victory smiles beyond the strife,
Strike for children, home and wife.
A steady pull, pull together,
Be it fair or cloudy weather;
Out of the way Clear the kitchen
Well pull through or bust>a britchin

Home Sentinel: Congress Is said
to be constituted as follows: Lawyers
ga; bankers. Fl; merchants. IL; doc
tors g. editors manufacturers and
farmers 6 each; business men. 5
teachers 3; mechanics. clergymen
and soldiers 2 each; stock raisers
builders, mail contractors millers
miners shippers brewers. printers
sailors and engineers l each; while
two class themselves as politicians
We suppose they did nothing at all
and had to so class themselves. The
people would just as we'll expect
water to run up hill as to expect
equitable legislation from such body
of men.
T. Y. Powderly. IN the knights oil
Labor Journal: Had the Repub.
lican party spoken truthfully in their
platform. it would read like this:
Whereas We are in Office.
Resolved. That we want to stay IN.
Had the Democrats later on. can
didly expressed their sentiments and
modelled their platform after truth
full and honest pattern. it would now
be before the people in this shape:
Whereas We are not in office.
Resolved that we want to get in.
: Being in an out is practically the
only difference between the rival
wings of the party OF plutocracy.
