Thinks Each Free-SIver Section Should Stand

Editor Representative "+ '-
Mr.. Wharton Barker, OF the Phila-
delphla American; Sounds what we
consider the keynote OF action on the
part of bimetallic forces for the next
campaign, in the following words.
1--WE must not make ourselves the
tools OF the contractioniSts by quar-.
reling among ourselves. Oar zeal
must be according to knowledge.
While we agitate and educate, let us
also 'unite and conquer the party of
the PlutOcracy.
The next battle in 1900 will be the
last, either to give us victory or to
leave us slaves to mammOn's rule in
deed. We must take no chances. but
at all times have in view genuine
coalition Of all the friends Of honest
money and good government, whether
Democrat, Populist or Republican.
Mr.. Barker says: democrats must
come TO look upon POpulists and old
Republicans who abandoned the party
when it abandoned its principles, not
as members of different parties to be
AOiN ou al uS ICHUL, OuU dS ulC UClS
of one grand party superior to any
POpuliSts and Republicans, who are
not of the Mckinley stripe, must re-
ciprocate; it is as Americans, not as
partiSanS that we must treat one an
other. Above the narrow bounds Of
partiSanship we must rise. Unless
we do, nothing can be accomplished"
That our efforts and votes in the COM
ing struggle should all be harmonious
ly united, who can doubt? United,
three in one. the Democrats, Popu-
lists and Silver Republcans-whata
grand army Of bimetallis m they would
make! Mr.. Barker, however, says:
I'VE do not ask that Populsts or
Democrats or Republicans-who have
principles though no longer home
should abandon their principles. 1t
would be wrong for them to do SC.
But let us not defeat the end upon
which we arc all agreed by quarreling
among ourselves We must not d.
vide our forces in the face Of our OBJ
ponents." Cannot all silverites agree
to fight in the same ranks when called
to duty again? Here is our plan:
Let each and all Of the silver par
ties keep up and perfect their respec-
tive party organizations, but all
unite temporarily, at least, in 1900, I'm
der the name "American Party, nom
mate unanimously for the Presidency
the Hon. VIM. J. Bryan; and for the
vice presidency Popullst should be
named by all and supported as unani-
mously. 1t would be acknowledging
weakness in our cause not to nomin-
ate Mr.. Bryan, the Populists are en-
titled to the honor Of naming the man
for second place. Then, with victory,
all parties would be represented in
the cabinet. The Secretary Of the In
terror and Of Agriculture and the
Postmaster General should be Popu-
lists. We are not writing as Popu-
list, but the Peoples Party must be
treated with honorable terms, and be
allowed to stand up and be counted as
pure patriots as are to be found in
any other party.

The Northern COOPERATIVE Grocery
Store. OF this city Is a new concern which
wasGstarted veTyp recently and has grown
to be, a very successful enterprise. They
clallnsto be Very much interested in the
F. Az LII and,have about determined
to. resolve themselves into an Industrial
Union and purchase all they sell through
their store from or through the Ex-
change Depot. They are goifg to have
an entertainment on the 10th of Febru-
airy. at which time they will organize
ladies' auxiliary who will pledge them
selves to get up an entertainment each
month, through which funds will be
raised to assist members who are honest
but unfortunate in being thrown out of
employment, and with the funds thus at
their disposal purchase the necessaries
OF life through the Cooperative Store
or Exchange Depot.
The F. A. & l. U. organizations and
reOrganizations are only able to perfect
temporary organization for the present.
You cannot be initiated into the F. A.
& |. U. until you have a temporary or
ganlzation i'll existence. When those
temporary organizations are perfected
we will register them as fast as they
come III and proceed to set dates when
we can send out our state lecturer and
his deputies to initiate the Alliance into
our great society, grant charters, give the
password, and such instructions as are
necessary to put such temporary organi-
cations on a permanent basis.
We are grieved to call the attention of
the friends OF the movement again to the
fact that we are extremely embarrassed
Tor the want OF funds to carry on the
work OF the organization. We have been
obliged to pay out SIS already for post
age, stationery, etc, and have a large
quantity Of letters ready to mail but lack
the necessary postage stamps. We sup
pose that our well-to-do friends thought
other friends of means would come to
our rescue and that there would be no
need OF them bothering their head, as our
appeal would be needed and the neces-
sary funds would come to hand For the
information OF our friends we must
state that we have not received one pen
ny Of any kind, and as we have put in
much more than our condition would
warrant, we certainly cannot stand the
strain alone, so we must therefore ask
the friends of the movement to do a
little, be it ever SO small. 1t will relieve
our necessity, and permit us to carry on
the work. Must we ask you again We
