HEAD OF PUNGO, n. Q.
Mr. EDITOR:-The manipulatOrS OF
the legislature intended to repress the
advancement of the Alliance, and have
branded themselves with a stigma that
will forever characterize them as the
hired tools of p~lutocracy. Whatever
might have been the pretense Of their
intentions, common sense reveals to
the understanding Of all sane men that
their motives were to facilitate the ad-
vantage of a few at the expense of
many. This act, like all other acts Of
q similar character, has in view the
accomplishment Of a certain purpose.
By the aid Of the agency fund that has
accumulated by voluntary con5ribu
tions, the State Agent has been able to
furnish the people with goods at re
duced rates. By this the needs and
necessities OF the Iaboring Glasses have
been greatly accommodated while no
industry pertaining to or ~effectlng the
advancement Of civilization has been
inlpeded. If by these means the PEG
pie have been enabled to procure for
themselves the necessities of life at less
expense, thereby curtailing the bur
den8 of their labor, l cannot under
stand how a Legislature, composed of
Jeffersonian Democrats, whose pa
triotic songs have forever been reform
and retrenchment, should become
offerded at a temporary benefit con
ferred upon their constituents whose
condition they themselves have pitied
and admitted Iamantable. We have
been told by these patriots in bygone
days that cur condition was deplorable
and great sympathy has been expressed
for us. They told is that we were the
life blood Of the land; that it was by
the sweat Of u brow that all opera
tons maintained 8n existence.

Ell PASO, II. G.
Mr.. EDITOR:-I have been q constant
reader of your paper for several years,
and have often thought I would like to
hear more from our sisters Of the Ali
ance through oar State organ. Since
joining the Alliance l have been more
than ever impressed with the RESPONSE
biIities Of relation to our families
and to the human Tace individually
and collectively and while I do not in
tend to discuss this relation fully [
want to say something to the sisters
that will encourage them to attend the
meetings of their lodges and take a
greater interest in the subjects there
d scussed. We are vitality concerned
in whatever affects our husbands.
brothers and fathers, and whatever
affects their interests affects ours also
Therefore should we not encourage
them to attend every meeting, and
also attend whenever in our power to
do so. We should avail ourselves Of
every opportunity to acquire knowl-
edge that would be useful in educating
our families, for upon us, to a great ex-
tent, depends the education of the ris.
ing generation Of the farmers and
laborers' families of America, especial
~ the farmer boys and girls, as the
public school system, if we can say
system, is doing very little good in the
country. Sisters, let US be up and do
ing our duty, aiding and assisting in
every good word and work, using our
influence encouraging reform when
ever needed. Let US, with true
age, maintain the right and condemn
the wrong wherever found.

THE ARTICLE.

Why is it that the Ledger and
other papers and politicians have So
much amnesty and hatred towards
the Farmers Alliance and making
such efforts to break it up? Now, Mr..
Editor, when we look back to pas.
issues OF the Ledger IL which the ALI.
anCe was endorsed, advocated and c.
CCuraged, and then turn to lis pages
to-day, we conclude the paper has
changed editors or that the Ola editor
somehow CT other has metam0rpbosed.
We can see why politicians, present
0tnc6hOld6Ts and the would be mOuidcTs
OF pubic sentiment should antag0nlZ3
the Alliance. 1t is said the Alliance
has gone into the Third party" The
III WHO makes that assertion is either
very ignorant O. q miSChievOU5 knavc.
AS q body II IS not III any party; but it
IS Drumming full and running over
With politics, and it should be, for poll
tics IS the science Of government aud
every man should study politics. All
admit that members Of the Alliance. as
men, are in different parties. AS we
have asked the question we Will answer
II. Ii Is because the Alliance IS and has
boena political educator and hasopeucd
The eyes OF the people to see that the
cause Of depression upon agriculture
ana labCr9rS was brought about 10,
vicious legislation. And as a remedy
the Alliance has formulated plans. One
AllIanCeman says we can get cur de.
mands and relief through the Demo.
cratic party; another one SAWS no, we
can get them through the RepuUl.cau
party, and yet another says from
neither OF the cid parties can we hope
Tor help, our only relief is through the
Third party; and [ am one Of tins Iass
number and don't you forget it.
Now you see the Alliance as a BODY is
not IN any party. OF course | am not
responsible because a majority of the
members agree with me and are with
the Third party.
l seems that even the legislature uf
this State has joined hands with YOU
to smash the Alliance at the irstigation
Of MI. j. S. Bell. It is even charged
that the Business Agency fund is beng
used IN q interest Of the Third party.
bat this IS proven false by the Exeeu.
tive Committee who are themselves
Democrats, and also by Mr.. w. 4.
Graham, who has the fund in tra-t.
Yes, you crush the Alliance. but the
reforms started by it will not down.
Inc people VIII still continue to educate
dLollS IA@C iine, Notwithstanding the
efforts made to keep them in ignorance
or what has been and is being done.
This 10 a grave charge we bring
against the papers and politicians.
Witness the last campaign. Did you
try to enlighten the people upon the
silver question: Did you show them
how it vas that demOnetizing of silver
reduced farm products and LAHORE Did
you explain the Nicaragua scheme
Did you tell them what the sherman
act Of 1890 VASE Have you informed
them that Mr.. Cleveland wishes that
act repealed, which will contract The
currency $50, 600, 600 annually and
make money still ~scarcer? Why have
you n99 explained the anti option bill
How did Senators Ransom and Vance
vote on that bill7 Give us little more
so much abuse. LEO.

Mr.. Dickerson. Il want to give every

The Speaker. There is no arbitrary
rule about the matter. The rule or the

forced, has been that if members we're
still passing through, even though they
were somewhat dilatOry, they were in
dulged and the count was continued.
Mr.. Simpson. Mr.. Speaker, I ask
that the result be announced.
The Speaker. The chair is informed
that but two votes are lacking to make
a quorum.
The count was completed; and the
tellers reported-ayes 147, nays 24.
So the motion was seconded.
