The independent sentiment has
been smothered long enough; let it now
burst forth in all of its power.
The farmers must get together for
the purpose of voting together in order
to get their demands. That's tho way
the monopolists do. No party lines
divide them when their interests are at
stake.-Missouri World

The rush out of the democratic
party since the defeat Of the silver bill
by the big democratic house is great.

Why should the northwest doubt
US? Why should we doubt the north
west? Both sections have espoused a
cause, and each section knows the

four years experience - Nashville

1t is an old saying that the test is
in the trial. The real test of an al
hanceman, then, is in the way he votes.
If he votes to carry out the principles of
the order he is a genuine article, other
wise he is miserable fraud. This is
the logic of the situation. You can't
dodge it.-Alliance Echo.
The Weekly Toiler, published at
Nashville, Tenn, is the state organ OF
the Tennessee alliance and one of the
leading and most able reform papers in
the south. In its last issue it boldly
comes out for the peoples party and
will surely swing Tennessee into line.
In order that the brethren of the north
may be able to keep posted on affairs In
Tennessee, the Toiler will be sent to
any address for three months for Il
cents.

The display headlines in the repub-
lcan papers over the address of the
birmingham conference announce that
the southern alliance sis opposed to
any action that interferes with mem
bers voting the democratic ticket ~
They might add with equal propriety
that it is opposed to any action that in
terferes with members voting the re-
publican or peoples party ticket. The
alliance has never presumed to dictate
to any man how he should vote. Re-
publican editors know this, but it suits
their purpose better to distort what lit

The organizing committee appointed
at the conference of labor orpaniza.
tions, held at Central Turner hall on
April 2, are quietly at work organizing
the wards in the city, and from present
indications 1t is believed that the labor
organizations of St Louis will come
out solidly for the peoples party. The
forty-eight unions affiliated with the
trades and labor assembly, as well, also,
as all the local assemblies of the
Knights OF Labor, are enthusiastic for
the third party. The peoples party
will hold mass meeting at Central
Turner hall next Saturday evening to
organize club, elect delegates, etc

England is at the bottom of this
gold conspiracy. BY act of parliament
the bank of England is compelled to
purchase all the gold bullion offered al
8 pounds, II shillings, Cd. per ounce
standard. Here price is fixed abso-
lutely by law. Not that the owner OF
gold bullion must sell at that price, but
the government must pay at least that
price Now in all the world of produc-
ton is there anything to equal that?
No wonder gold can be the standard OF
money with such an advantage as this.
We have shown that gold can be pro
duced for 80 cents whose selling price is
fixed by law at 100 cents. Do they say
that free silver is in the interest of the
silver kings? In whose interest is this
English law? They fix the price OF
bullion; they say that gold only shall
be freely coined; they come to our coun-
try and demonetize silver, and then
suggest an international conference to
talk about it. As we'll might flock OF
geese be sent to discourse vegetab BILE
