FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

"A mans politics is no better nor no
worse than his religion Good politics
is good religion, and good religion is
good politics Those who cannot har-
monte their creeds with these truths
are worshiping false gods, and the
sooner their idols are smashed the bet
ter it will be for humanity. Omaha
Tocsin.
The political crop is now gathered
and the farmers should Immediately be-
gin the preparation of the soil of their
minds for the reception of the seeds of
new crop to be harvested in the fu-
ture elections Stick to the alliance,
patronize the state exchange and other
alliance trade agencies, read the reform
papers and be true to yourselves, your
calling and your country, and all will
come out right. Organization, educa-
ton and determination will surely win
in the end.
Sidney Carlton, writing of labor
leaders in the Cincinnati Herald, SAYS of
Eugene V. Debs: ''He is young man
yet, but one of the brightest and brain
lest of the nation. His talents are of
very high order He is thinker, a
writer, an orator, and a man with the
courage of his convictions, who dare
plant his standard far in advance of the
moving army of reform and calmly wait
for them to come up to it." The words
are exceptionally well spoken and still
better deserved Age of Labor.
1t should be remembered that this
peoples party is not a movement of the
farmer and common laborer exclusively.
1t IS 4 movement of the people against
the parasites. Unless we can unite all
legitimate interest, labor, business and
professional, against the class that alb
serb the products Of muscular and men
tai labor without rendering an equiv
alent, then our party will fall to pieces
with its own weight There are too
many people in our party yet who, with
tongue and pen, are conveying the idea
that no one is welcome in our ranks eX-
eept a farmer or common laborer.
This is one of our own mistakes that
needs correcting. Cincinnati Herald.
Some people pretend to be afraid
that if we have free coinage of silver
that other nations will flood us with
their ''pauper" silver But they won't;
yet, even if they did, what of it? If
silver is brought here by a foreign own
er and coined at our minis he must pay
transportation and cost of minting.
Then what? He isn't going to take it
to some other country, paying transpor-
tation thereon, and then sell it as bull
lion, Is he? Won't he be apt to invest
here? If so, why not let him bring it
along? But we have had free coinage
in this country. Other nations didn't
flood" us then, and they need all the
silver they have now as badly as they
did then-Chicago Express
The south begins to realize that the
only way to settle the color question in
politics is to divide the people on ma
terial issues instead of on partisan lines.
White and black men alike respond
when they see that politics does have
something to do with cheap or dear
products 1t is rapidly dawning, not
only upon the south man, but on the
north man too, that dear dollars make
cheap products, and that both old
parties are equally responsible for pres
ent conditions. hence they are coming
together in the new party and it will
draw from black and white alike, and
the white will protect the black be-
cause it is a personal financial interest
that is at stake Ont of this revolution
will come new south. Dakota
