would relegate the adjustment of the

greatly the present tariff tax on con-
sumers. 1t would remove the ques-

The Ocala Demands.

Ia. We demand the abolition of national
banks.
b. We demand that the government shall
establish Sub-Treasures or repositories in the
several States, which shall issue money direct to
the people at low rate of interest, not to ex-
ceed 2 per cent per annum, on non-perishable
farm products, and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the quality Of land and
the amount of money
c. We demand that the amOnnt of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
2. That we demand that Congress shall pass
such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing
in futures of all agricultural and mechanical
productions providing stringent system OF
procedure in trials that will secure prompt
conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law.
8. We condemn the silver bill recently passed
by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
4. We demand the passage Of laws prohibiting
alien ownership OF land, and that Congress take
prompt action to devise some plan TO obtain all
lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndi-
Gates, and that all lands now held by railroads
be reclaimed by the government, and held for
actual settlers only.
5. Believing In the doctrine Of equal rights to
all, and special privileges to none, we demand
a. That our national legislation shall be so
framed in the future as not to build up one in
dustry at the expense Of another.
b. We further demand a removal of the exist
ing heavy tariff tax from the necessities of life,
that the poor of our land must have.
c. We further demand a just and equitable
system of graduated tax ON incomes.
d. We believe that the money Of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the hands
of the people. and hence we demand that all
national and State revenues shall be limited to
| the necessary expenses OF the government econ
omically and honestly administered.
9. We demand the most rigid, honest and Just
state and national governmental control and
supervision of the means of public eomml-
nicatiOn and transportation, and II this con
troll and supervision does not remove the ablls-
| es now existing, we demand the government
ownership OF such means OF communication
and transportation.
I. we demand that the Congress Of the United
States submit an amendment TO the Constitution
providing for the election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people OF each

My son will be just about your age
when you are about mine, and he will
enter the paper when you are about
where | am. have got to looking at
you as sort of prefguring of what my
son may be, and of looking over you
and rejoicing in your success, as /
shall want you to feel toward him.
Let me write to you what | would be
willing for you to write to him:
Never Gamble-Of all the vices that
enthrall men. this is the worst, the
strongest and the most insidiOus.
Outside of the Immortality of it, it is
the poorest investment the poorest
business and the poorest fun. No man
is safe who plays at all. 1t is easier
never to play. never kdew a man,
a gentleman and man of business,
who did not regret the time and the
money he had wasted in it. A man
who plays poker is unfit for every
other purpose on earth.
Never Drink love liquor and
love the fellowship involved in drink
ing. My safety has been that never
drank at all 1t is much easier not to
drink at all than to drink little. If
] had to attribute What | have done
in life to any one thing, | should at
tribute it to the fact that | am tee
totaler. As sure as you are born, it is
the pleasantest, the easiest and the
safest way.
Marry Early-There is nothing that
steadies fellow like marrying a good
girl and IA family. By marrying
young your children grow up when
they are a pleasure to you. You feel
the responsibility of life, the sweetness
of life and you avoid bad habits.
| If you never drink, never gamble
and marry early, there is no limit tC
the useful and distinguished life you
may live. You will be the. pride OF
your fathers heart and the joy of youl
mothers.

piness OH earth worth having outside
of the happiness of knowing that you
have done your duty and You have
tried to do good. You try to build up

sary. You try to live in the sunshine

gressive; fulfills its reformatory mis-
sion admirably"

doubtedly, is a very timely one. May
God help you to do all the good you
can, in all the ways you can, to every
body you can, and as long as you can"

farmers and loyal Alliancemen of
Simpson county, says when his LEADER
comes every week it is so popular with
his neighbors he can scarcely get to
read it himself. Advise them to sub

Declaration of Purposes.

Whereas, the general condition of our coun
try imperatiyely demands unity of action on
the part of the laboring classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encOur-
aging the tOiling masses-leading them IN
the road to prosperity, and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor, a just eX-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount Of good we hold to the
principle that all mOnopolies are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subyert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi
pies:
l. To labor for the education Of the agricul
tural classes i'll the science of economical gov
ernment, in a strictly non-partisan spirit and
bring about a more perfect union of said
classes.
q That we demand equal rights to all, and
special favOrs to none.
g. To endorse the motto: "In things es
sential, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop better state mentally, morally
socially and financially.
5. To constantly strive to secure entire har
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
| ly love among ourselves.
| G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry and al
| selfish ambition.
| Z. The brightest jewels which it garners, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and it:
| imperative commands are to visit the home:
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuagt
the suffering of brother or a sister bury tht
dead, care for the widows and educate the or
phans to exercise charity toward all offenders
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light granting honesty of purpose ant
good intentions to others and to protect thu
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus
| trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purit!
ofthought and life, its intention is: ''On earth
peace and good will to man."

The suppression of the saloon is,
moreover, moral issue. 1t is not q
question of fiscal expediency alone. 1t
does not appeal to self-interest alone.
Its claims reach the conscience of men
and women, simply, directly, and with
tremendous power. 1t does not, be-
fore reaching the moral sense, re-
quire a mans intellect to grapple with
complex and abstruse problems of fl
nance or commerce. 1t contains the
potency of a great moral enthusiasm,
the only thing in this sublunary planet
that has overturned great organized
injustice entrenched in governmental
and financial authority. 1t strikes al
an evil that men see and feel. II
stalks before them ON the street and
thrusts itself upon their notice on the
railway car, in the street car, any
where and everywhere. 1t is an evi
that comes close to men, in theil
homes, among their friends. Men Sc,
and feel and know it, and once give I,
this movement for its extirpation siz,
and sweep that give promise of nea
success, and the nation will witnes
such a tide of moral enthusiasm, sucl
a resistless uprising, as, we verify be
lieye, was never before witnessed il

We can have little respect for the
opinion or discrimination of a news
paper that accords the same consider
alton to the McEnery ticket in Louis
lana, as to true aud loyal Foster and
his coadjutors. The fact that Morris
now says that he will not buy the
State does not change the fact that
McEnery and the crowd which he rep
resents were willing to sell it. There
has been no change in them. The
only difference between them now and
then is that, while they are just as
willing as ever to sell, they have not
just now purchaser in sight.

A "union of forces," to be effective,
mechanical welding of issues and
parties will not answer. 1t will do no
harm, perhaps, at this time, between
two campaigns, to let loose little
speculation on what such a Union
Party might be. If we were the pO-
litical carpenter called upon to build
such ship of state, and could come
to the task entirely free from any past
political affiliations and with an eye
single to the construction of strong,
swift sailing, commodiOus and sea
worthy craft, this is about what we
think we would do. We would look
around, first, for our material. We
would find it in the Prohibition party "a
large quantity of it in the labor unions,
another very large quantity in the
Farmers Alliances, F. NJ. b. Associ-
ations and kindred organizations, and
much of it in the Citizens, Alliances.
We would cast longing but perhaps
Intellectual eyes upon the Mugwumps.
A fire ship needs good deal in the
way of fancy trimmings and polished
ornamentation, you know. We would
look to the old Whig element in the
South and to the young men every
where. Then we would look around
for individuals to take charge of op-
erations. Our eyes would light with
out much generalization upon ex-Gov-

This issue, moreover, is an unchang-
ing one. One of the reasons why the
political organizations that have
grown out of the financial problem,
the Greenback Party being the first
and the Peoples Party the latest, have
not been more stable, is the fact that
this issue is continually changing its
aspects. The change demanded in
1872 was not the change demanded in
1880. The change demanded in 1880
was not the one demanded now. The
educative and agitative work done 20
years ago, in regard to the Resumption
Act, does not answer now with refer
ence to the Treasury and Land
Loan schemes. The same is true in n
great measure of Tariff Reform. 1t is
shifting battle-ground. But the
suppression of the liquor traffic, like
the suppression of the slave traffic, is
the same issue to-day, supported by
substantially the same arguments and
facts, as 20 years ago. You can build
on it, and not feel apprehensive all
the time that some change of the stat
utes, some development of commercial
affairs, some political whirligig will
render it necessary to do the work all
over again next year. Miss Willard
calls the Prohibition Party the Verte-
brate Party. 1t deserves the title, not
so much, perhaps, because Prohibi-
tionists have more backbone than any
one else, as because their issue is one
that is not shifting with every turn in
political events.

A GREAT EDITORIAL
Sound Craftsmanship in Every
Paragraph.
"The Party for the Future" as
Outlined by "The Voice."
Let Honest Patriots of all Par.
ties Read and Thought
fully Consider.

Whether it shall come as develop
ment Of the Prohibition Party, or OF
the Peoples Party, or of the Mug
wump movement; whether it shall
come as a combination of some or all
of the elements now IN revolt against
old parties, or whether it shall come
from an uprising of new elements, we
do not know. We do not very much
care. But of this we are certain the
party which the future of America de-
mands must have for it's dominant
note the suppression of the liquor
traffic. There are several imperative
reasons why this should be so. One
is that the drink issue is the only one
now commanding the attention of the
people that requires a party for its
right settlement. Tariff reform, cur
rency reform, ballot reform, suffrage
reform, are legislative reforms. They
call for certain changes of law, and
that is all. But in the suppression of
the saloon, the enactment of the law
is only the real beginning of the bat
tie. When certain change is made
in our financial system, there is no
imperative necessity for a new ad-
ministration to render the change
operative. Woman suffrage is Sc
cured the moment an amendment is
voted into the State constitution. No
party is necessary behind such a
change to make it effective. So also
of the tariff. Any change in any of
these directions might be, secured by
non- partisan action and be just as eff
fectual as if secured by the triumph
of a new party specifically devoted to
it. But the suppression of the liquor
traffic is not secured by the mere en-
actment of a law. 1t requires for its
accomplishment the combined ener-
gies of the administrative powers of
States and nation. Behind this one
issue alone of all that are clamoring
for hearing a party that is pledged
to it's triumph is necessary.

1t is pathetically announced that
Joaquin Miller has had his hair cut,
given up writing and renounced civil
ization, having retired to a mountain
hermitage near San Diego. The
cause of this queer proceeding was
the disgrace brought upon him by his
wayward son, who was recently con-
victed of stage robbery and sent to
prison.
