or in any other State, who feels a more
anxious soIicitude for the growth and
success of the Alliance than the writer.
I do not believe the people of the
United States will ever be permanently
improved in their condition until most
of it's demands are enacted into law, /
do not believe that these whole 0me
changes will take place until this grand
and noble order becomes sufficiently
strong to force those who legislate fer
the people TO enact these demands into
Law. It has been, and is to dey, the
only school in which the true and vital
principles of political economy are
taught. TIE secular press, the daily
press, and many Of the religious jour
nails Of America are owned and CON
trolled soul and body by corporate mo
nopoiy. and are run in the sole interests
Of these relentless task masters, while
only those papers that derive their sup.
port from the true blue Alliancemeo
r ~contending for and advocating the
truth Having secured unbrldlad con.
troll of the press, the moncp 3liaEs are
now buying up schools and col
leges. And having she wealth OF the
country legisla.ed into their Golfers as
fast as the Soilers have produced it
during the last thirty five years, they
now propose TO take control Of our in.
situations OF learning. and to run these
great sources Of intellectual light In
their greedy interests; and they are
making head way with astonishing rap
idity. Indeed they already have con.
troll Of more than half the great uni
versisies of the United States OF
course, their object ia to teach a sys-
tenn Of finance that has ensIaved the
people OF every land where their stand
ard has baen set up.
There is but one hope left for those
who would escape the same system Of
industrial slavery as that which grinds
India, Egypt and Turkey to day, and
that is the liberal support OF our papers
that are battling against such fearful
odds, in order to give the people light.
Such papers as The Progressive
Farmer should be placed in every fam
lily circle OF those engaged in the pro
dUction and distribution Of wealth.
But it ia a lamentable fact, and it ought
not to be lost sight OF, that those who
are engaged In the distribution of
labor's products feel that they have nc
lot nor part in this great struggle, and
many of them are in sympathy and
accord with this arch enemy Of hu-
manity, not knowing that the killing
of the goose that lays the golden egg
will soon reach and cause them TO
suffer the dire consequences of eco,
nomic ignorance.
Had these great task ma s3ers never
organized and acted together, they
could neve have controlled legislation
in their own favor as they have done
during the last thirty years. s. much
then as demonstrating the power and
necessity for organiz alton, The time
is now a6 hand, and much of it is al
ready past, when every c.ass engaged
eiGher in producing or distributing or
constructing should organize them
selves into unions for self preservation
and to study and post them selves on
these great economic problems, for it
concerns them and their children as
much as it does the farmer. You may

preston and low prices, and oVerpro
