At meeting of the alliance in
Mt. Pleasant township on July 9th,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
REsOLvED:-That we AS members
Of the Farmers Alliance claim ahso-
lutte freedom from all political parties
or associations, and that we will
avail ourselves Of the privilege of
casting our influence and ballots with
what party will pledge itself to
give to the oppressed people snch
reforms as we in justice may demand
2l. That. after a careful study
of the platforms Of the democratic,
republican, prohibition and peoples
party, the only hope of reform. in the
approaching campaign is 10y declaring
in favor Of the peoples, and that we
this day pledge ourselves to use our
hest cnh"ayors, by all honorable
m ans, to bring success to that party S
ticket-national, state and county.
Sd That we not only ask but de
n,and that proper steps te taken for
a through investigation of our county
affairs, suci, rs was had in Knox
county. months ago, to the end, that,
if no irregularities or wrongs he dis
covered. feeling Of confidence may
misplace that of unrest, to state the
condition mildly, that now exists
among our people. That we most
earnestly condemn the modes re
sorted to in our midst in time past
for Influencing the votes of some of
our citizens. That, when ny the cor
ruptng influence of money, men arc
induced 10 support for office, men
who are totally unworthy end withou.
proper qualifications, our best in:e-
rests are IN jeopardy.

Correct figures from the Carnegie
mills show that the works arc making
enormous profits and as much rs on
former occasions and there was no
call for a reduction of wages. The
main trouble did not result from y
question Of wages, hut the desire of
the iron barons to make the contract
end with December instead of June.
so during the winter the oprressors of
labor could force low wages, the new
date being in the middle Of winter
and the chance Of gcttin. work not
good, and the men would be COMPEL
ed to take what was offered them or
starvc. Shame on suci, a country
that would tolerate the schcmcrs!

farmer thinks that the old par
ties have put down the price Of
cotton.
If SO, who put down the price
of iron lower in proportion than
cotton is? When cotton was
ten cents a pound, sugar was
ten cents a pound and meat ten
cents a pound. / can get as
many yards of cloth, as many
kegs of nails, as many gallons
of whiskey, as many pairs OF
shoes, as many hats today with
a bale of cotton as / could have
done in any day in the last
twenty years, perhaps. This
world, with its busy marts of
trade is but so many places for
the exchange of products and
the swapping off of one thing
for another.
And when the government
undertakes to give everybody a
real good thing, then real good
things are going to play out be-
fore they get around to all the
sixty five millions, each stand
ing in his place waiting for a
good thing, for an easy jog, a
good time, a hog heaven, plenty
to eat and nothing to de. These
hard times upon US now, will
work only good in the end,
these lessons of economy will
be incentives to industry, every
lesson which brings wisdom and
every sagacious thought and
wise method developed by these
stringent times, will turn out
for good in the coming days
when prosperity smiles upon US
again, and political rancor and
personal hatreds shall have wit
messed the funeral of those who
think, perchance, the world
could not carry on its program
without them. Whenever a

moves him for the good of those
