WILL HE ssCEDRf

The State, Capt. Sam Ashes now
paper, strongly intimates that it is
ready to secede from the New England
Democracy and build up a new party
on the ruins of the old-put new wine
into old bottles, so to speak. Please
don't, Captain. If we were in a remi-
niscent mood, we might mention that
the editor Of the s late has been a seces
sionist all along, and still his party is
going to the dogs. He says:
'In particular do we see no occasion
for any Democrat at the South TO "a
rlfce any substantial thing here at
home in order to be il line with the
Democrats at the North, who, at pres
ent, do not exist for any practical pur,
pose"
So your Northern brother has left
you, Captain9 He doesn't exist for anv
practical purpose. What are you going
to do about it9 We beg to dis agree
with the Captain. The Nav England
Democrat does exist for a practical
purpose. He helps the R 4publicans
"nen they get hard up. He helus
cleveland ruin the country and en-
rich England. We notice that the
Captain never talks very loud about
giving up the New England fellows ex-
cept when the New England States 90
Republican. Had the recent State cleo
tions gone the other way in the SO called
Democratic States, the Captain would
now be engaged in building air castles
and telling how the country would go
Democratic next year, and the New
York hoodlums and the Maryland scala
wags would all be good brethren Of the
same faith and order.

B EXCHANGES.

The labor exchange question was dis
cussed at the last meeting of the State
Alliance at Cary, and a committee was
appointed to investigate, the matter.
The committee made a report, which
can be found on page % Of the pro
ceedings, as follows:
Your Committee on Labor Elk
change would respectfully report:
That while it may be impracticable to
build and equip a shoe mandatory on
this system at this time, yet when a
factory has been started, we believe
that it will be practicable to run and
operate the same On this system, to at
least a great extent. We recommend
to Alliancemen a thorough study of
the Labor Exchange system"
It is needless to say that many PEG,
pie in this State, all over the world, in
fact, are earnest advocates of the labor
exchange system. The Rochdale plan
has been a thorough success in England
and has been tried elsewhere. We
hope the papers friendly to our cause
will give this matter publicity, and we
throw our columns open to the breth
rem everywhere who may wish to write
on the subject.

M AND VALUE OF HORSES

The low price Of horses has been a
subject of comment for some time. Oh
course the oily-tongued goldoug pre-
%varicator has had his say and with a
word and wave of the hand, has set
tied the matter now and forever.
The low price is due entirely, says
the goldbug, to the introduction of
electric cars and bicycles in the cities,
Some people swallow il all without
thinking. Street cars still use horses
in some places yet, even in New York.
Thousands Of Bicycles have been sold,
but a majority of b. people who ride
bicy Giles never owned or used horses
This induces us to believe that the
horse market has not been depressed
on that account. But if it has to any
a~ppreciable extent the losses are fully
made up in h spreading out of cities
and need of horses to pull a far greater
number of market, milk, coal and gen
eral delivering wagons. Until recently
only the rich could afford to live in the
suburbs of cities. The working peo-
pie had to live near the business houses
offices or factories. But the electric
and cable cars have solved that prob
lem. The working man, clerk, ma
chanic or anybody else can go out

You will observe that the price ave
aged above par in 1890, notwithstand-
ing the coinage of silver has been linn
ted since 1873. Hard times, however,
gradually reduced the price after 1899,
owing, we presume, to the inability of
people to purchase as much silver
ware as formerly. Silver was
again completely demonetized in
1898 by order of Grover the Great(O
and the price averaged 60 s,
the only demand during the latter half
of the year being for silver used in
manufacture. The price last year was
a fraction higher, the product of the
mines being limited, and many of them
cl-sad altogether. An act authorizing
the resumption of the coinage of silver
will instantly put the price up, start the
life blood to flowing through the arte-
ries of trade all over the great West,
put millions of d1llars in circulation
and inspire hope in the hearts Of mil
lions of farmers, merchants and manu-
facturers. But free coinage is only
part of the financial legislation needed,
and the people must not support any
man or party whose platform contains
only one important factor in the total
necessary to put this country on it's
foot oooin

GET A MOVE ON YOU.

IF YOUR Sub Alliance prospers, you
must be a genuine all round hustler. 1t
matters not whether you be an officer
or not, your duty is to keep your or
~ganization alive, and not only alive,
but prospecting. Rack your brain eV
cry dav to devise some means OF max
ing the next lodge meeting interesting
TO every member who may be present.
Then devise some way of interesting
outsiders in the Alliance work, that
you may increase your membership.
This is an age of progress, and the man
who lags, or the organization that goes
off into q cometose state, will surely be
left behind and ere long sink into Sin
nocuous deeuetude." "Get a move on

to Alliancemen as to city messenger
boys. The old fogy way of doing things
Is no go in this day of vim ana push.

- The Salisbury Waterman puts it in
a nutshell when it says: "Poor old
Democracy After the recent elections
it had just enough strength left to
raise it's head up out of the grave of
political defeat and gasp. The Popu-
list party is dying"
If the signs are not deceptive it is
evident that the Populists are growing
very rapidly in Indiana. The AS
ISOLATED press tells us that the leaders
have decided to disband. We knew
it was a lie when the report first
started and news confirms this belief
The Atchison, Kan, Champion says:
las the smoke of battle clears away
there are altogether too many POpulist
eff 3ers crawling out from under the
ruins. We hope the Kansas papers
will publish the election in full when
the figures are compiled. Looks like
the old parties Jared pretty badly out
there.
The New York and London bankers
promised to keep the gold reserve up
to about the hundred million mark for
some months, and they did it. But
since July the reserve has fallen stead
lily and it IS now only about $49. 600, 900.
Gold is going to Europe at the rate of
three or touc millions a week. But the
Sherman law was repealed two years
ago.
Retormers, get your own neighbor-
hood right. Don't interest yourself
about what isnot being done elsewhere.
Begin at home. In that way the whole
country a be gotten right. The
surest and the only way is to keep up
your Alliance organic ltion and get
people to read reform papers Be sure
that they are educational reform
papers. Soma papers contain a great
deal of gush and soap bubbles. Get a
paper that has something in it.

several miles from the city and live.
He or she, as the clse may be, can
step on an electric or cable car and go
miles to or from work. Hence the
population of cities is countryward.
This can be noticed in the large as well
as small cities. All kinds of wagons
must, therefore, go over a greater
amount of territory every day and
nor horses are required. Ladies and
gentlemen, and goldbugs, the true
cause of cheap horses is goldbaggery,
silver REORGANIZATION and c1ntraction
of the currency which is the true cause
of the low prices for everything.
Without the Alliance or a similar
organization, political reform will be
we'll nigh impossible. The organiza-
ton is political to the extent that the
members meet and discuss remedies to
benefit the farming class, and members
should not vote for men known to be
anEagonistic to their interests.
