| mands into law so long as they are
fighting them. The man who has SUI
ficient faith TO believe that they Will
has enough to remove mountain. bul
faith even of that kind will never move
a political party. They live on ana are
moved by votes. Our first duty as cit
liens is to examine we'll the promises
of all political parties as contained In
their platform Of principles, and then
follow it up by their record TO learn
which political party is our party.
One political party having adopted
our demands, it would be in direct con-
fiict with our obligation to ask you to
support political party that has not
done so. Worse, it would be asking
YOU to violate the sacred right Of fran
chisx. which should be guarded S the
ark Of our covenant. AS an Organlza-
ton we are bound to support our prln-
ciples AS citizens, it is our duty TO
vote our principles. Our order is on
trial We have reached point where
we are certain to lose some members,
and it is wise to consider the situation
carefully. 70 push on aggresslVeIy
and in earnest, we will lose those VINO

vascillating at this critical time, Will

vocating our principles as Of para
mount Importance to that Of any p0llt-
cal party. No true Alliance man can
hesitate which course to pursue. Ad-
hitting a loss, which we must, which
method will insure us the greatest
gain? UnQuestiOnably the honest,
manly, consistent course OF voting as
we talk, resolve, demand and pledge.
Experience in the State elections,
where we have voted for our princi-
piles, has demonstrated that our gains
have more than balanced our losses in
numbers, and strengthened US i'm
mensely in prestige and influence.
A few may be led away with the idea
that because q political party has
adopted our demands, our efforts should
now be concentrated solely for the
party. This would be grave mistake.
We must perpetuate and strengthen
our organization as bulWark for our
principles, present and prospective,
a tower ssor strength to aid the party
adopting our demands and terror to
the political party fighting them. In
other words, we must remain lndepen-
dent Of and superior to political par
ties. 1t is not enough that political
party has adopted our demands. Po-
Iitical parties are proverbially frall.
We must follow them up to see that
they perform. New issues, vital to our
interests, will arise continually. With
out organization we would again be at
the mercy Of other organized classes,
and would again have to go through
the laborious work of organization 10
rescue ourselves.
Our only hope and safety is in per
petuating and perfecting our organiza-
ton, pressing forward consistently and
persistently until victory is assured.

never advised Independent political

controlled the Legislature in both
houses of congress. But at last when
the industrial classes from all over the
Union met in st. Louis to unite their
forces and wipe out all sectionalism
and demanding relief in Legislation, he
went with his brethren into the Peo-

The Homestead troubles are not

outraged men who have felt the Car

They know that their condition of sla-

artifcially produced, in spite Of 'pro-
tection," and that it will not be changed
by "Tariff Reform" They know
more about "what is the matter'' and

running the machinery of the Republic
for the benefit of the luxurious mil

In Alabama.

In Alabama.
Southern Alliance Farmer,
The Kolb people in Alabama seem
little inclined to compromise and con-
done the great outrage that the cor
gained democracy of Alabama
committed in the recent State election.
The honest toiling wealth producers of
that state have made up their minds
not to bow down in humble submission
to ballot box 6tuffing and fraud. They
will fight it to the bitter end and appeal
to the honor of American manhood to
sustain them. There is no question
but what Kolb has been deliberately
and wilfully counted out. His maiori-
ty in the State was not less than thirty
thousand and yet the Jones conspira-
tors, with the ballot boxes and the
courts in their hands, have succeeded
in defrauding the people out of the
election.
This demonstrates to what straits the
old moss backs have been driven. They
stand not upon the method, but they
must hold the positions at any cost.
In Georgia they are in the same
condition. Nothing but steel back
bone on the part Of the reformers of
Georgia will prevent them from repeat
ing the Alabama outrage. It is already
the scheme to count us out in the large
cities where they think we have few
supporters.
We appeal to the law abiding citizens
of Georgia to stand against such out
RACES as have been enacted in Alabama
and which have disgraced the State.
In that State the democratic party
by its methods has brought anarchy
and dlScOrd. 1t is directly responsible
for the fearful condition Of affairs
by its fraudulent suppression Of the
peoples will.
We appeal to all lovers of liberty,
and law abiding people in Georgia to
join us in a demand for free ballot
and fair count in the coming election
and let us prevent the anarchy which
now reigns in Alabama from being
enacted in Georgia.
To the reformers we appeal especial
ly to see to it that there is a fair cleo
ton in every precinct in the State and
that every man who is legal voter has
the privilege Of casting his vote, and
then having it counted as cast.
No honest man could demand less
and no party which values its reputa-
ton for fair dealing could afford to
offer less.

From Ohio.

Especial to SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FARMER. ]
ATHENS, O., Aug 12.-The Peoples
Party of Ohio will assemble in State
Convention at Massilon on the 18th,
inst. The gathering promises to be
one of magnitude and enthusiasm.
There has been q large amount of
careful and quiet organizing work done
in Ohio and the first visible results, as
shown by the State Convention, are
likely to prove alarming TO the old par
ties. Already they are showing signs
Of discomfort over the presence Of the
Peoples Party in the arena and they
will watch the outcome of the conven-
ton with more than curious interest.
The farmers of Ohio have steadily
lost wealth and power for the last ten
years. This is conclusively shown by
figures Of the census.
Look at this showing for Ohio:
Value of farms, 1880, - 1854 900, 700
Value of farms, 1890, - 1868, 1000, 900
Loss in ten years 1925, 100000
Is it not about time that the farmers
who are being robbed by our financial
system, to the tune of So, $780, 900 per
year should take some action and radi-
cal steps to end this Infamous system
Of stealage?
Here is a dead loss of seventeen per
cent of what they possessed ten years
ago.
In the meantime the value of real
estate in the cities of the State increas-
ed thirty-eight per cent-showing the
superior class privileges accorded to
those who manufacture, finance and
barter, over those who toll and sweat
and eat the dust of the fields!
If these figures do not form the solid
platform for Peoples Party in Ohio
where shall we look for justification for
any revolt against robbery?

Tt requires very little effort to an
swer these assassins of liberty. The
men who wrestcd the State from the
vultures who came to despoil it at
the close of the war, are not going to
turn it over to greedier set of vul-
lures in 1892. The government has
been legisIating the masses of honest
toilers into poverty, and the pam
pered few into affiuence; that must
be stopped, for the fiat of the people
has gone forth. The men who have
been so prolific in promises and so
barren in performance-in a word,
who have so deliberately deceived
the people-shall be relocated to

in the balance and found wanting"
