The federation of labor is to enter
into an educational campaign, and de-
sires the use of public school buildings
for the use of labor meetings
John G. Carlisle has been converted
to the anti-silver throng of fnanciers.
He has resigned his place in the senate
to be secretary of the treasury under
Mr.. Cleveland. This is probably merely
coincidence. Iowa Farmers Tribune.
With due respect for the opinions
of those who may think state banks
beneficial, we again enter our protest
against any such legislation Take the
tax off if you want to, but establish no
more state banks of issue Raleigh
a. c. Progressive Farmer.
True happiness in this world is only
found in the effort to render the lot OF
some fellow-being happier one. The
lending of helping hand tOyour poor
er neighbOr is fundamental principle
of the alliance Do you carry it out?-
Columbia Is. c. Cotton Plant.
All economic and governmental re-
forms must spring from and receive
their support from the laboring classes.
The wealthy are making fortunes by
present systems and want no change,
and induce the ordinary politician to
prevent any being made. Memphis

The election of Stephen NJ. White,
democrat, to the United States from
California was accomplished over the
dead body of man who was elected as
a pOpulist-Kerns, of Los Angeles
Yes, over his dead body, for traitors
and sell-outs are ever worse than dead

Nothing but party spirit prevents
Cleveland's taking Sherman into his
cabinet The man who cheated the ma
ton, and in 1878 surreptitiously passed
the act under which demOnetization of
silver occurred, is a fit minister for the
president who opposes the setting aside
of that act San Francisco Press
What a cowardly lot the democrats
are! With everything their own way
they dare not repeal the Mckinley law
or declare for free coinage. Eighty per
cent of them were elected on platforms
pledging them to do both these things.
They are towards, and the year 1896
will see them cleaned ut.-ROad.
John Sherman, as the counsel for
the Nicaragua canal subsidy scheme, is
quite modest His bill only asks for
bonds sufficient to build the canal and
pay the eompany's debts, but it pro-
vides a surplus fund of S12,OOO,O 900 to
divide up among the men inside the
pool. Sherman knows what he is
after
Brethren of the south should take
some good northern reform paper, and
brethren Of the north should read the
southern papers in addition to their
own. This would post each as to the
work and hindrances in each section
and bring us into closer fraternal rela-
tons with each other NASHVILLE

1t is evident that the only way to
suppress poverty is to increase the
quantity of wealth, and that wealth
can only be increased by the applica
ton of labor Hence, the very essence
of this association is the employment
of labor. Everything else in it is sub
ordinate and auxiliary to this object -

The education and organization of
the laboring classes are actually neces-
Sary to enable them to tear off the
shackles that are being gradually fast
ened on them. That farmer or laborer
is short-sighted who fails to see the
necessity Of organization; and he is
hard Of hearing if he does not hear the
clan!ling chains plutocracy is forging
tobind the masses st. Louis Journal
of Agriculture.
Senator Perkins was in Topeka all
the time Jerry Simpson was there and
remained one week after Jerry left. but
republicans did not waste any tears
over the sad spectacle of United
States senator neglecting his duties at
Washington. Even the sO-called demo-
cratic papers lamented Simpsons pres
ense at the state capital. but not a
word did they say in condemnation of
Perkins. Clay Center (Kan) Dispatch.
CONGRESSMAN Springers amend
ment changing the mode of electinr a
president does not propose direct
vote ofthe people but merely does away
with the electors. 1t proposes that the
minority vote shall be counted in each
state and cast its proportionate amount
OF electoral votes Had the Springer
plan been in force during the recent
election the electoral vote would have
been as follows: Cleveland. 9l1: Har-
rlson, lSS; Weaver a; Bidwell. 6. As
Cleveland lacks $4,000 of having a non.
ular majority, the election would have
gone to the house of representatives
The gold-bugs are concentrating
their forces in the present congress-.
They are now osteusibly working for
the repeal of the Window silver act
Zen. Weaver, in the last issue of his
paper, warns the friends of silver that
this is not their real intention: that II
tins act were repealed then the Bland
act would again be law and thai is
much more favorable to the white metal
than the present law, for it made silver
legal tender. 1t is probable that the
conspirators intend to repeal the clause
providing for the purchase of bullion
