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
liancenan, 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.
Americas sons are awakening to a
full sense of their rights all over this
broad land, and no theorist on dead is
sues or declaimer on past political
glories will have power through his
eloquent harangues to longer hold in
line the sons of toll. ALI effort to
strangle the desire for the correction of
the evils, which now rest like foul
incubus upon our land, will prove fu-
tile, and those who engage in the at
tempt will sooner or later be buried un-
der the dark and turbid waters of polit-
ical oblivion.-Dallas (Tex.) Southern
Mercury.
The display headlines in the repub-
ican 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
tie information they possess. -Topeka
Advocate
The organizing committee appointed
at the conference of labor organiza-
tions, held at Central Turner hall on
April 2, are quietly at work organizing
the wards in the city, and from present
indications it 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 a 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 at
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 well might flock Of
geese be sent to discourse vegetable
diet with fox.-Nonconformist.
