LeaVen in the Movement

The leaven that was put into the re-
form movement years ago is fast
spreading in this country, and there is
a general awakening among the peo-
pie and a general knowledge of the
wealth producers of the country is
sought.for. While large crowds meet
together to listen to the true political
gospel expounded by labor leaders,
and instead Of farmers and laboring
men going to the polls as Democrats
and Republicans. they go as neigh
bors with brotherly love for each
other. and this love extends to our
homes of all good citizens. We do
not feel like asking anything for the
West that would be detrimental to the
East or South. We want laws enacted
from time to time that will develop
the intellectual power Of man and will
be productive of the highest standard
of Christian civilization and the con-
ference at st. Louis tells us that this
condition notonly exists here but it ex-
tends over the whole country. which
tells us that the same laws have pro-
duced the same conditions in all the
States that they have here. and that
we all agree as to the remedy. and
this tells me that with the proper
armor bearers and the general knowl-
edge of right among the producers OF
the country that they will lay aside
their prejudices, and Democrats will
say to their Republican neighbors
let us vote for Maria and the babies
by voting the Peoples ticket or visa
versa. In this country the monopoly
papers tell US that it is Democratic
scheme to defeat the Republicans. vet
the Demo Republican representatives
voted together not to try the contest
which was brought before the last
legislature of this state by the indie
pendents for the governors chair for
the purpose of covering up the politi
cal schisterdom of both parties.

Objects of the Alliance.

The Alliance has no other object or
purpose than to further and advance
the interests and prosperity of every
farmer. That is its highest aim. its
Hottest purpose, and noblest UNDER
taking. 1t has no other mission. OBJ
iect or purpose. 1t was born of the
necessity and suffering of the people
engaged in agriculture to organize
and labor in unison for the promotion
of their welfare. The course it has
adopted to attain these ends may not
be the wisest and best but it is GER
tain that they have been adopted after
mature and earnest study and consid-
Grafton of the problems involved
and that what is undertaken is hon.
estly. earnestly undertaken, with no
other purpose Or object except the
elevation of the vocation of agricul-
|. ture and the upbuilding and uplifting
gagged in or dependent upon that vo-
cation. Those who have held back
and hesitated may find fault and even
oppose what is undertaken; but if they
had embarked in the work at it's in
cipiency and studied it in all of it's
trials and vicissitudes. and labored as
earnestly and zealously as others
whom they condemn, they would have
been in q different attitude toward the
organization, and felt differently
toward those who have sacrificed their
time and labor in their behalf and for
the promotion Of their interests. They
have done the best they knew. 1t
may not have been wise, but it has
been honest sincere and earnest; and
whatever may be the fate of their eff
forts. they have been heroes in the
strife. Alliance Herald.

Freaks Of Nature,

The Capital still talks about the
government being compelled to pay
81. 294 per ounce for silver under
free coinage law. If it's editor does
not know better than this he is fit
candidate for a lunatic asylum. If he
does and still persists in these efforts
at deception. there is another public
institution to which he might very
properly be assigned. There is no
provision IN our laws however for
the apprehension of such characters.
Their habitual prevarica tons have
been considered harmless and they
have been permitted to run at large
They have been regarded as freaks of
nature and subjects of amusement to
the curious. Their numbers have in.
creased SO rapidly of late. however.
as to deprive them even of their nov
city. AS they cease to become OBJ
jects OF curiosity, they become bores;
and society has little patience with
them. What provision will be made
for them hereafter the future alone
can determine. Advocate.

Honest Dollar.

Poor, old. honost dollar Was
there ever anything more senseless
and puerile than this prolonged insinu-
ating depreciation of the silver dollar
which has so largely formed the
stock in trade" of the free-coinage
obstructionist? And this. when all
know that any dollar stamped as
such by the government is an hon
est dollar" while any such dollar
will pay 100 cents of debt and buy
100 cents worth of any commodity
that is for sale in the market no mat
ter whether silver paper Or gold.
The legal tender inscription makes
the dollar a good dollar Any dollar
that will not do this is not a good one
and nobody wants such a dollar
Therefore. all this loud pretense and
hue and cry is the merest trash. bosh.
and nothing more. When the law
creates and puts in circulation legal
tender money. be it silver or anything
else, that is good. honest money, and
it is entitled to the confidence and
recognition of all loyal men. This is
good law and good sense, good ethics
good politics and sound policy Ma

Where Is the Dtnarencee


Gold and silver bullion are COM
modities of fictitious value. because
they can not be used for practical
purposes in sustaining life or effect
ing comforts necessary to health.
Corn, wheat oats and cotton are com
modities of actual value, because they
have the capabilities this bullion does
not possess. The government stores
in its warehouses those commodities
OF fictitious value and issues it's notes
upon them. That is constitutional
and proper. 1t does not take the COM
modities Of actual value to store and
issue money upon them. Why? What
is the difference One is the product
of the miner the other the product of
the farmer
The distiller stores the product OF
his distillery and equivalent to bor-
rows 80 per cent of its value by the
government not exacting the tax for
three years. The government fur
nishes the warehouse, the gauger and
the storekeeper and affords him direct
and substantial aid. This is a Demo-
cratic measure. 1t has been cham
ploned by Sen atOr Carlisle and other
Kentucky Democrats since it was first
introduced. What is the difference
between advancing 80 per cent on the
manufactured articles from grain and
upon grain itself? The first is Demo
cratic; the latter is claimed to be anti
Democratic. What is the difference

Some Pet Schemes.

The Tribune is not making a special
fight for any sub-treasury plan. but
there are several such plans we are
feminist all the time. One is the plan
that allows the secretary of the treas
ury to make sub-treasuries out of his
pet national banks and the other is
the distillers' sub-treasury plan. They
are both Republican institutions and
both very popular with certain classes.

THE PEOPLES MOVEMENT
Their Homage IL Given to the Spirit of

Their Homage IL Given to the Spirit of
Progress, Not to Men.
Carlyle voiced the sentiment of
many q discontinued one when he
said: 1T is not to die or even to die
of hunger that makes man wretched
Many men have died. all men must
die. But it is to live miserable. we
know not why; to work sore and yet
gain nothing; to be heartworn. weary.
yet isolated unrelated. grit in with a
cold. universal Laissez Faire'
1t is just this spirit that calls to-
gether and keeps together the peo-
pies reform movement of the present
time. The reformers are law abiding
citizens says writer in the National
Economist usually honest Industrious
and conscientious. But in addition
to their daily toll they have set them
selves the task OF finding some way
of making life more endurable for
themselves and the masses who have
no champion to plead their cause.
The reform movement in the eyes of
the conventional world. has committed
an objectionable fault 1t has dared
to be dissatisfied with the existing in
dustrial condition. With ali rever-
ence for our free institutions 1t does
not think them perfect. nor in many
respects, even equitable. 1t feels that
the distributive forces of society which
have developed during the last centu-
ry must be re-arranged to fit the con-
ditions which have created them. We
have monopoly of political or social
wisdom. We are opposed to monopo-
lies on principle. We gladly discuss
our projects with anybody who cares
to study them sufficiently to be in a
position to analyze or criticise. We
are eager for new suggestions and
better remedies. We have transferred
our homage from hereditary kings and
moneyed princes. We are no less
reverent than the common people of
old. but we now do homage. not to
men, but to new ideas and the spirit
of progress.
There is one class whom we
mortally offend. Unfortunately it Is a
large and influential class. 1t labels
itself conservative. The term is a
convenient one and like charity. it
covers multitude of sins TO be
frank the conservative is the man Or
woman who finds it too much an effort
to think. They accept their idea
ready made. and. bless you. how con-
venient it is. OF course. ready made
ideas. like ready made clothes, are
sometimes mis-it. But the owner
of either commodity is usually the
last one to find it out The conserva-
tive is sure that our institutions have
always been and always will be per-
feet and therefore eternal. In
adopting this argument he forgets
that it arrogates to purely human
institutions attributes usually
assigned to the Creator. This motto
of whatever is is right" shows not
only a lamentable lack of original
thought but worse than that. a total
ignorance of history. A we'll known
English writer remarks that the
United States government is success.
because any republic that is not a
total failure is a success" Perhaps
our conservative friends mean it in
some such Pick wickian sense when
they speak in such delightfully."- general
terms of the success of all our institu-
lions.

Perfectly ldiofie.

from the lips of gentleman we'll

in all he said. On inquiry the
splendid farm of that gentleman

He is above it. There are many of

they still think they belong to the
