ALLIANCE NOTES.

The philosophy OF government Will
be the study of the people in the future.
The populists hold the balance of
power in the Montana legislature, and
may dictate who shall be United States
senator. >
The real function of money consti-
tutes the most vital and important
point in the philosophy of government.
Lamar Mo- Industrial Union.
Next to money the most essential
thing necessary to the welfare and
prosperity of organized society and gov
eminent is transportation. Industrial
Union.
In the California legislature the
seven populites hold the balance Of
power in the election of United States
senator. Neither the democrats nor
republicans have a majority on joint
ballot
The inequalities in society called
wealth and poverty result from bad
laws relating to the distribution of
wealth after labor has created it, and
while it is on its way to the consumer.
Industrial Union.
There is one thing the populists do
not do. They do not take credit for
causingfthe success of things and men
they did their best toundermine. There
are some "chirp' editors who would do
well to remember this aud also the
further fact that being flip is not being
brainy. San Antonio Tex Truth.
We believe the people are thinking
and that in 1894 the peoples party will
elect majority of congress and in 1896
will elect the president and vice presl-
dent Populist, you have no reason to
become discouraged; you have much to
encourage youfor your magnificent fight
in the recent campaign. National
View.
IF the democrats fail to do any
thing to relieve the people, | will vote
the third party ticket next time" That
is the common expression of the masses
of that party to-day. The landslide
will come our way four years hence,
and it should get good start at the
congressional elections two years from
the present time. Missouri World.
The democratic party, through its
most powerful organs, is already be-
ginning to hedge against keeping its
pledges. Articles are appearing declar-
ing it unsafe and unwise to tamper
with the Mckinley bill at once; that
the nation must be prepared for a
change through a series of years of
gradual approach Wonderful reform
ers those demOcrats!-GreatW West
The last campaign in Alabama
demonstrated that no party or faction
need ever attempt to run campaign
without daily paper. With the dailies
of the opposition to circulate campaign
charges, stories and falsehoods and only
weekly papers to correct them, the OPP
position had very great advantages,
which they utilized for all they were
worth Montgomery ala. Herald.
1T amt gospel want, it's grub"
was the reply of hungry-lOoking man
to reporter. That man put the whole
truth in a sentence. He was not ire
ligious, but he was poor and he was
hungry, and he pithily described the
inopportuneness of sermons and hymns
TO his actual condition. There would
be more sense in our pulpits if the con-
dition of the people was properly dis
cussed. Labor Standard.
The peoples cause will whit is
bound to win. To say that its objects
are unobtainable is to say human prog
ress will cease; that there is no bright
spot in all the future in which justice
shall be done; that human existence is
miserable failure, and that the power
full, the crafty and the avaricious shall
glut their greed upon the earnings Of
honest mems labors forever.-Spring-
field Mo- Peoples Forum.
As between the two old parties the
defeat of Harrison will probably be
more for the future advantage of the
peoples party than would the over
throw of the democracy. The republic
an party will be more likely to disin-
tegrate under the influence of defeat
than the democracy. Its capitalist ele-
ment will now seek protection by going
over to the democratic party, and the
rank and file will drift to the party OF
the people and reform. Nation,
Every day some one asserts that
fiat money or paper money, unless
it is made redeemable in coin, is not
legal tender" Why? well, there
is nothing behind it" Is a United
States bond good? Is it not worth
premium in gold? Did not Mr.. Cleve-
land pay out s72 100000 in premiums
on United States bonds that Yere,not
que? What makes bond good? The
security is the wealth and patriotism of
the nation which is pledged for its re-
demption If this is true. when the same
government creates a dollar in paper
money and bases that dollar on the
wealth and patriotism of the whole
people, why is it not a good dollar?
What do you want to redeem money
tor?-Southern Mercury.

1t will be three weeks yet before the
result of the election is known, so far
as it relates to the peoples party vote.
