The FarmerS' Alliance.

Parties die, principles live on.
What are you doing TO help your ALI
ance?
Now is the time to push the Alliance
work.
The principles OF the Alliance will
stand, though its members sometimes
desert them.
Every member Of the Alliance should
have q constitution Of the order, and
keep posted.
Which do you prefer, the principles OF
the Alliance, or the name OF some polit-
ical partyY
II you think the demands Of the ALI
ance are right, advocate them and vote
for them.
About ten years ago, what is known
as the Farmers' Alliance had its origin

in the State Of Texas. It was founded
upon such right basic principles as COM
mend themselves to the favorable con-
Sideration Of all patriotic farmers OF this
Southern country; hence the orgsniza-
tion spread until it embraced large
number Of farmers in this State and ex-
tended to the Northwestern, Northern
and Eastern States, and was the most po-
tent organization that ever existed among
the farmers Of the United States. And
had not dissension arisen in the ranks Of
the organization through designing poll
ticians and other evil designed members.
of the organization, it would have been
power to-day that would have pro-
tected the financial and political inter-
ests OF the agricultural and laboring
classes Of this country.
They would not have been hewers of
wood and drawers o. water Of the mon
led aristoCracy of the country, whose
power is continuously increasing and
arbitrarily absorbing the unearned fruits
Of honest toll.
Along with these inroads Of Alliance
decadence, the legal profession and mer-
camille men all over the country con-
tributed the weight Of their influence
day in and day out in every available
way to dissatisfy the weak and unstable
knowing full we'll that their organization
OF mutual protection, Of moral elevation,
OF the sanctity Of contracts, Of co-opera-
tion in education, of dissemination Of
knowledge among their membership as
to their personal and political rights and
privileges boded no good for their tnan-
cial and political preierment
These enemies Of farmers combina-.
tions know how easily q segregated peo-
pie like farmers are discouraged and
imposed upon. Hence, they 60 at their
work in systematic way and persist in,

something that would revive in Farmers
Alliancemen desire to return to the
fold and build anew our power and influ-
ence, that could enlist the cooperation
Of those OF our agriculturists who have,
stood aloof heretofore from their praise
worthy and beneficial order, and thus
aid in unshackling us from the thrall-
dom that binds us and EFFORTS from as

The ends and aims Of the Alliance are
worthy, high and noble. The principles
are founded in justice, wisdom and
honor, and we challenge the world to
show the contrary.
The State Exchange, established
through the agency Of the State ALI
ance, has accomplished much good as a
bureau OF information. 1t brought down
the prices Of fertilizer, bagging and ties,
sewing machines, wagons, buggieS, and
various articles Of merchandise which
the public enjoys the benefit Of to-day.

are now pursuing. They charge me, and
they charge the rest Of US in this cham
Der who are Populists, with attempted
repudiatiOn. No, Mr.. President; the
Legislature that sent me to this body
was composed almost wholly Of men who
had been Republicans within two years.
There we're ninety-ave Populists in the
House Of Representatives. Every one
Of them voted FOR me. Outof the ninety
five Populists eighty-three had been
active, earnest Republicans up to and
after the year 1883. They and all
voted for Benjamin Harrison. Out Of
those eighty-three old Republicans forty
one had spent from two and one-half to
three Of the best years Of their lives in
the Union army, in our great struggle to
suppress the most tremendous rebellion
known in human history. All Of my
ambition is to serve this great country.
There is nothing that ! Venerate more
highly, more intensely than do the flag
of our country. The great body Of the
Populist party in the Northern and
Western States were Republicans only a
few years ago, and there are more old
Union soldiers in our party to-day in
proportion to the aggregate membership
than there is in the great organization
Of Republicans.
II resent that imputRtion Indignantly.
It is unworthy Of the Senator from Con-
nectiout Mr.. Hawleyl and the other
Senators who have uttered the sentiment
upon this floor. l have said, and / do
now say, that you men who are insisting
upon this policy will drive the people to
repudiation in the end. | would stop
repudiation; | would stop all dishonor;
/ would stop all revolution, by taking
from the hands Of the usurpers the
power they are improperly exercising.
That is the object Of the bill. have
said upon the public platform, in the
presence Of the people, as say here in
the Senate, that this proceeding is not
only without authority Of law, but it is
one Of the most dangerous proceedings,
the most dangerous exercise Of power
that has ever befallen the American
people.
"Populists want no reserve fund TO re-
deem their money-no redemption fund |
for the benefit Of stock brokers and
banking syndicates. We believe gov
paper is a safer money than
metal of any kind. We want govern
ment paper, not bank notes; we want
money that is as good as the nations
credit-money that needs no redeemer;
money as good in the hands Of the poor
rs in the tills Of the rich; money worth
ts face in the products Of labor; money
that will not stink away when trouble
comes; money that speculatOrs cannot
corner; money that will pay debts and
5axes; money based on the peoples prop
erty and the public credit; money that
5he government will receive at par;
money that will be good as long as the
republic endures."

BONDS AND POPUL1SM.
Senator PETER Answers the Reputation
Walters.

IolloWlng appeared IN ms remarks:
"The discussion that has followed the
introduction of the bill has taken a very
wide range. Silver in all it's phases has
been discussed ably. Gold monometal-
lism has been treated with considerable
ability. Both sides Of almost every eco
nomic question have been considered.
But the only argument which has been
presented in opposition to the passage
Of the bill was that of the Senator from
New York [Mr. HILL which was that it
is Populist measure.
at appears that the time has come in
our history when in the American Senate
the merits of measure are to be deter
mined by the politics of the Senator who
proposes it. I ask if that is Democracy,
II that is Republicanism, that because a
Senator who is the equal OF all his col
leagues introduces bill trenching upon
particular line of party politics it must
be discarded, it must be bounded and
beaten and abused and ridiculed without
touching the merits Of the subject in
vOlVed?
II assert, Mr.. President, that in all OF
our eyentful history no President before
the year 1894 ever undertook or pro-
posed to undertake to sell a government
note or government bond without ex-
press authority Of Congress before that
time enacted.

"This bill has been treated by Senators
as il it were the first OF the kind ever
proposed. But that is error. We-and
when / use the word we do not use it
editorislly, but mean those Of us who
are charged with the paternity of bills
Of this kind-hRve not been derelict in
our duty. The Senator from North Car.
olina [Mr. Butlsrb coming here nearly
two years after the bond-trading busl
ness began, very properly seized the first
opportunity to press the subject on the
attention Of the Senate, and it is greatly
to his credit that he has been able to &C
complish 80 much this soon. allude to
the matter only for the purpose Of calling
attention to the fact that early, even
before the first sale was made, immedi-
ately, the next day after the proposition
to sell was made, offered a resolution
reciting the facts and asserting as the
sense Of the Senate that the whole pro-
ceeding was in violation Of law. The
nextday I addressed the Senate on the
subject. A few days later the Senator
from Nebraska Mr.. Allen delivered
forcible argument to show that such
issue Of bonds is illegal, and we have not
lost an opportunity from that time until
the present to denounce the whole pro-
ceeding as a grievous usurpation OF
power.
"Not only have the bonds been ille-
gally issued, but there was no necessity
for their issue, because there was an
abundance Of funds in the treasury at
the time OF the sale of the bonds to pay
every debt that was due from the United
States, whether we paid it in gold or in
silver. There was an abundance Of coin
in the treasury with which to redeem all |
the greenbacks which had been offered
at that time, 80 that absolutely and pos
itively no necessity for the issuance Of
bonds existed, except only to accommo-

and / have no doubt that If my good
friend the Senator from Connecticut
[Mr. Hawleyl were here he would regard
it as revolutionary, as infamous, and
anarohistic, but / yet insist with all can
dor, with all earnestness, and with pa
triotic devotion which do not believe
any Senator will doubt, that there was
no other demand upon the treasury at
the time when the bond issues were
made except, and except alone, from the
speculators in Wall street, New York,
and their confreres in the city Of Lon

United States government has been
forced into partnership with these men,
that we are in fact the silent partner.
We are expected only to tax the people
and raise the money that these men
want.
"The only need that the government
has for money is to pay its debts. We
promised to pay our debts in coin, and l
have shown by the figures that we had
an abundance OF coin to do it.
"The whole trouble and the President
of the United States is right about it
comes from the demand for gold, and it
is not because the people Of the United
States demand gold-I mean the great
body of the people of the country.
They are not asking for gold. They
care nothing about gold coin. They
hardly ever see a gold coin. Probably
ninety nine out Of every hundred would
be unable to distinguish at first sight
between a quarter eagle and a half eagle
in gold coin. The demand for gold
comes from one class exclusively, and
that is the speculative class-the money
changers, the bankers, and, it is an ugly
term to use, the gold gamblers. | can
not think Of a better word to use, be-
cause it is gambling, the same as gam
