News had advertised the rally for a
month, announcing good speeches
for the occasion and a barbecue and
basket dinner. These various at
fractions and beautiful day brought
out about eighty bourbons to partici-
pate in the rally, about twenty P. P.
men who came to look OH, and a
score or more of boys who came to
help dispose of the dinner. Lincoln
will 90 three to one for the Peoples
Party.
Brother J. W. Morris, Of Carroll,
writes us that the Peoples Party is
on boom in his county; that the
farmers have gone to the democratic
tree for thirty years looking for fruit
and have found nothing but leaves.
Hence the verdict has gone forth,
Chew it down; why cumbereth it
the ground?"
Col. Tut, the chief speaker, Of
fered to endorse the Ocala demands,
sub-treasury and all, if the farmers
would only come back into the bour-
bon fold. That would have been a
fine bait two years ago to catch suck

Emanual County Alliance sends
sesolutions endorsing the present
policy of the Alliance Farmer; also
indorsing the action Of Colonel
Ellington and Mr.. M. d. Irwin in the
recent muddle over the state organ,

McWhorter sub, Of Douglss coun-

stay in Washington and attend to his

Mr.. E. B. Barrow writes us that
the Peoples Party was fully organ

delegates appointed to the guberato-
rial and congressional district con-
ventions.
Friend W. II. Buck, of Larned,
Kansas, writes: 81 like your fear
less, progressive, out-and-out paper

Extracts from an essay read by
Miss Minimize E. Watson before the
Harralson county Alliance:
"Are our laws equitable and just,
giving equal rights to all and special
privileges to none? Is it right that
the farmers, who own only % per
cent. Of the national wealth, should
be called upon to pay 80 per cent. of
the taxes, while the wealthy classes,
who own 70 per cent. of the nation
al wealth, have to pay only about
20 per cent. of the taxes? Is it
right to put high protective tariff
on such articles as must supply the
daily needs Of the laborer and allow
rubies and diamonds to be imported
almost free Of duty? Is it right for
the government to loan the million
aire banker money at one per cent.
and refuse to lend to the farmer on
his land at any figure?
The land can neither be hidden
away nor destroyed. The security
is just as safe as the bond. Then
why should not a one per cent. loan
be based on the one as well as the
other?
Why should the government dis
criminate against the farmer and
laboring man, who creates all
wealth, and in favor of the bond
holder, who is only a consumer of
wealth?
You farmers and laboring men
hold in your own hands the remedy
for these monstrous evils-the silent
but all-powerful ballot. If you
would loose the grasp Of monopoly
and plutocracy upon your throats,
you have only to will it, and it is
DONE"
