THE ALLLAHCES. 1/ In the history of the National Farmers Alliances (Southern Alliances) we find the follovriug: In out country, with the people spread ovei ■o ureat an ares, engaged in so many kinds of business, interest# will often he found conflicting. The great variety of soil, climate and situation affords infinite diversity of production which adds to the wealth of the .country and the happine ss of its citi- " zeua. This diversity will create rivalry and opposition in trade that will tend to estrange one- portion of the people from another unless a sense ot security and patriotic pride Shall prevent it. Jtence, the necessity 'of organisation among the laboring class, especially the farmers, that they may be better acquainted with their own h and the wants of their fellowmen. I The counsel of the beloved WashingI ton in his farewell address is worthy Lof perpetual remembrance. lie urged ythe people to beware of section#! / atrifes, and besought them, as they Valued the principles of li berty and jconstitutional government, not tv •consider themselves the citizens of the LrNorth or the South, the East or the f Went, but to unite, and by sympathy, | kindness, chainty and brotherly love go aecure the welfare olf the whole country.

L f i Why should the farmer* organize ? Can any good reason bo given for •uch an organization as the Alliance ? We thiuk reasons can be adduced ■which no one. ought to question. Why did not the farmers and laboring classes organize forty or fifty yesuMuago? We did not hear of labor organizations then. Neither did are hear any talk about money kings, monopolies, or railroad corporations "putting money, bonds or stocks where they Will do the most good’'— to influence the action of Congress or State legislature*.. The farmers have been fleeced by somebody. They are growing poorer and poorer every day. We have said before that when people are not suit&d they may U6e all honorable means to change their laws. ■SNlgthing is wrong somewhere, and the peopIeTtave found it oifV. 'Heuce, the necessity for organization, and it .means something. There is something radically wrong somewhere When those who work most get least, and those who work least get most. This fact forces itself home to every thouglifnl mind. We want to find out where that wrong is. Therefore, we must organize. The Farmers A1 liance was organized for the purpose of studying and investigating the questions having direct reference to , qm k economic legislation. Wo have no ■ warfare lo wage upon any political ■ party. As an Alliance every member left fiee to choose tils own political amliaiious. We labor to improve the condition of our members mentally, socially, "and financially, and not to hoist a certain class of meri into office on the strength of membership fealty. Democrats are Democrats still. Republicans are Republicans still, and Bo questions asked. Each member votes bis own sentiments unretrained and uninfluenced. The AI*tf I , nance has among its membership men ' troy, all political parlies and from all shadq* of opiuion, working together in theV^'.iee of labor. liotiey U not the only power controlling the press, but the legislation .of the country as well. President Lincoln said in hia Message to Congress in 1891: “That monarchy is ‘ .sometimes hinted at a# a possible rsf- ‘ uge from the power of the people, lit my present position I would be searedv justified were I lo emit exercising a warning voice agaiost returning despotism. There, is one point to which I ask attention—it is rue-effort to placecapital on *h equal

footing wilt, if mil above, s&uor in |?>e structure of the government. J tHd the laboring people beware of surrendering a power which they already possess, and which, when surrendered, will surely be used to close lie door of advancement to such as hev, and fix new disabilities and urdetis upon them, until all of libty shall be lost.” tod again it was said by the editor at the New York Tribune, in 1873 or <1874, “That it is astonishing, yea, startling, the extent to which the /■ith prevails in the money circles in r New York that we ought to have a | monarchy." The above words were •uttered before Jay Gould owned the tribune; [Jay Gould docs not own the Tribune, it is just to say.—Ed.] rdiefort: riches hardened the heart of the editor and drove patriotism I rum his breast. It is an alaj'hdng confirmation of Mr. Iyiucoln’s fears ex pressed thirteen years before. Surely it is well to guard against this threatened danger to our institutions by the centralisation of groat wealth iu the hands of the few. The American people as yet,comparatively speaking, now nothing of oppression. They *?# not visited countries where if ists, entailing itsgnntold miseries the people, and being' affected by its gradual approach have little attention to matters of that !i But the toripd of iogotivily is • way. They begin to feel the the legislation of the coun

• itry, which has permitted this great centralization of wealth. , Dr. Aaron L. Chapin, D. D., President of Beloit (Allege, in his excellent work on “Political Economy,” published in 18711, uses this language: “It must he acknowledged that through greater facility for oigauization, through false views which have, gained acceptance in the current usage of business, and through mistaken legislation in some things, capital has been unduly favored. It has advantage, aud inclines to oppress labor. laborers have some reason to complain and as t for relief. Justice aud philanthropy require that every man who fears Clod aud lotes his fel-low-man should consider the rights involved and lend a helping hand to the weak.” Al I the machinery by which despotisms are made is in operation in this country, and much of the motive powe r and lubricating oil necessary to keep the machinery running is furnished by the capitalists of Europe. Why do we make this statement ? Because in 1872, silver keiug demonetized in France, England and Holland, a capital of 1300,000 was raised, and Ernest Seyd, of London, was sent to this fund as the agent of these foreign bondholder* and capitalists to effect the same object, which was accomplished. So you see that it was primarily ths money power of Europe that caused the- demonetization of silver iu 1872. But it took #500,000 to dp it What became of this money? Who got it? Don’t you suppose it war used to “influence” the public press and also some of our dear Congressmen?

Mr. Seyd was a large owner of American bonds, which under the existing laws, could be paid, interest and principal, in silver. In England our silver dollar i > not worth as much by at least ten cents as Our gold dollar. Thus, you see, by destroying the monetary power of silver, his bonds became payable lit gold only, which added to his individual wealth at least six millions of dollars. The effect was the same upon all other bondholders. New you can see why he wanted silver demonetized in the United States, and also whose interests our Congress men were looking after. We must, in our organizations, study these questions, that we may understand clearly what becomes of our labor. Legislation that thus increases the value of bonds, increases the burdens of the people to pay. It is to place capita] above labor in the structure of the government. That was the purpose of the act demonetizing silver. It was that kind of legislation which Webster declared “would destroy the liberties of any people.” Which Lincoln warned you “would add to your burdens till all of liberty would le lost.” Capital is everywhere organized aud alert to securing special [Ians and purposes for its own benefit. The so-called “lobby influence” at Washington has become proverbial. It is an organization of manufacturers and capitalists to secure legislation in their special interests without any regard tor the public weal. Large sums of money are thus used each year. Wfe do not say that direct bribery is used, but we do say that this,money usually accomplishes itu specific purpose. The money thus expended is returned from the pockets of the people increased a hundred-fold. Cau anyone say that the burdens thus imposed are required by the public welfare? There is no branch of capital that is not thoroughly organized or perfecting arrangements for organization. Envelope manufacturers recently effected such organization and immediately advanced prices nearly 100 per cent. Ninetjen of the large publishing houses which furnish the school books for our children have banded together and will not attempt to displace each other’s books now iu actual use, uor under aay circumstances reduce prices. We thus pay twenty cents for First Reader that

tuuiu uu puiu ai a pia turns. But why enumerate? It is enough to say that eonibii alion and organization exists eve ry where, «ave among the agricultural classes. Why should not funnels organize for self protection, when all other vocations are combining? It all kinds manufacturers unite to limit competition and get better prises for their products, why should farmers remain passive and suffer themselves to ho victims of schemes and combinations whose lines of action converge on doing business is to be worked for all it is worth, why should not the class that produces seven-tcuth* of the wealth of the world have its share of obtained in the miuds ef thousand* ol farmers that every mau’s hand is against them. That all other elasses In their organizations have combined for. the sole purpose ot oppressing Ihem. That they have for years been the special target for every man to shoot at’; and, liepce, there is a kind of war spirit jperradiug their entire being. They feel that legislation, both State and National, has been directly against them, and that they alone, of all t lie classes, have been most shamefully neglected by the law-making powers of our land; Now, that there is a great deal of truth in this we do not question. We all know that lews have been enacted favoring the merchant, the banket, Ihc money lender, the lawyer, the manufacturers and the great corporations. There is no doubt that our legislation, both State and National, lias too often favored these classes. What has been Ilia primary cause hat brought this about? i'hese classes have not organized for he sole purpose of oppressing the ag--leultnral classes, but for the purpose if bettering their own condition, rbey hate obeyed the injunction ■Ask knd ye shall receive.” TI<Cy lave gone in well-organized bodies tfiem ?

The law-maker* of our land bare not gone to theae corporation* and asked, “What do yon want? What laws do you wish enacted ? On the contrary, these classes have organized, counseled among themselves ' and determined what they wanted,tand theu haye gone into the balls of our Legislatures in well-organized “lobbies” and there demanded such legislation as they desired. Hare farmers been organized all these years and demanding just and equitable laws? No answer is needed to that question. Who, then, are really to blame for these things? The farming and laboring classes themselves to a great extent. They have shamefully slept upon their rights. They haye, until quite recently, been entirely unorganized and content to let the world wag •on as it would.—American Stockman. Ex-President Cleveland’s nomination for the Presidency at the next national Democratic convention is now a certainty. If Senator Hill could have shown the same possibility of beiua nominated as Cleveland does today, Tammany would have given him their support. It was found, however, that the Democrats of the country did not mauifest the same enthusiasm for Hill as they did for Cleveland, and Tammany therefore joined hands with the latter. The New York Democrats'feared that to continue the feud between Cleveland aud Hill might result in New York passiug entirely out of the Democratic column aud certainly would destroy the weight which New York ^ now has m Democratic councils. The result, if the politicians are correct, will be a solid New York delegation for Cleveland, and Gov. Hill will stay in the Senate until 1896

On the second dav of January,Senator Turpie introduced a joint resolu tion in Congress (which was referred to the committee on Judiciary) proposing an amendment to the constitution whereby the U. S. Senators wiil be elected by the direct vote of the people. He did this in keeping with the resolution adopted in the Indiana Legislature some time ago, demanding this act on the part of Congress. Let us have this step accomplished and then the next will be the election of President by the popular vote. Then will this be a Republic indeed, as it ought to be. Thet do say McKinley is to be elected Governor of Ohio; that the Republican papers of that State have been canvassed and U^t they are almost unanimously AP favor of his nomination. What Will this signify with all the Democratic papers opposing McKinley ? They may not be Able to defeat his nomination, but they will defeat his election, for his record is not pleasing even to the church-predjudiced politicians of the Buckeye State. Senator-elect Peffer drank the health of the Legislature that elected; him in a glass of water. This shows i very plainly that Democrats ‘ have nothing to hope lor from him.—Petersburg News. Vice-President Morton sometimes sells whiskey without a license. Does this show tji&t Republicans are any more temperate than Democrats? Out upon such sh.-allow-brained Journalism! No man’s party or church makes him. The heart under the vest is the man. We have lately been favored with a copy of an article by W. H. Link. M. D., on the “Jlauger of Delay in Pelvic Troubles.” It we are anything of a judge, the article certainly embodies a great deal of good advice. It argues, by implication at laast, that •killed surgery is by far the safer and speedier plan, if not the only proper methods, in the majority of cases. The Democrat received a card a few days ago stating that Dora Higdon, aged 28 years; died at Carlisle, Arkansas, Jan. 24, 1891, of Consumption. She was the daughter of James Denton, formerly of this place, aud wife of Evan Iligdou, whose death was announced in this paper a short lime ago.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN: KDITKD BY MBS. ABDIK HORTHAS1 FIELDS. “Ksob thyself par*.”—JT. Tim., S-O. The aim of the Department of narcotics is to educate the people in regard to the effects of tobacco and other narcotics, with a view to the extermination of the habit of using, and the trafic in, narcotics. In the work of the Depaitment, thousands of leaflets have been distributed; the subject has become a topic in the public schools for prize essays; public meeting devoted to readings and discussions are of frequent occurence; and the subject has been presented before Sunday School Conventions, religious bodies, and public school Teachers Associations. Twenty-three states have passed laws forbidding the selling or giving away of tobacco in any form to minors, and a resolution was passed at the Atlanta Couvention to petition to Congress for such a law in the territories over which the National Government has jurisdiction. So the W. C. T. U. is seeking to obey the Divine injunction: “Put difference between holy aud unholy, and between unclean and clean.” * * * The Bible Sats: “Why shonldst thou die before thy timer “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.” “Know ye not that ye are the temple of. God ?” “Be ye separate, s'aith the Lord, and touch not the nnclean thing.” “What agreement hath the temple of God with idols r “Ye are not your own, ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, aud in your spirit, which are God’s.” * •* *

Anti-Tobacco Law of Indiana, I Enacted by thk Legislature of lW9.f Sec. I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Iudidiana, that it shall be unlawful for any person or persons to give, barter or sell, either directly or indirectly, to any child or children under sixteen years, to be chewed or smoked by said child or children; or to give, barter or sail the same to any person, whomsoeTer, with knowledge that the same is to bo chewed or smoked by any child uuder the age aforsaid ; or to persuade, advise, council or compel any child under said age to chew or smoke tobacco. Sec. 2. Any person who violates the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fiued in any sum not less than one dollar tier more than ten dollars. The Nicoti^ Plague. It is estimated that at least thirty thousand persons die annually from the u$p of tobacco. Those who use it are not always the victims; women and children often die of the poison inhaled from the cigar, or the deathladen pipe ot the male members of the family. Fifty years ago, the opinm-eater was almost a stranger in our country ; to-day there are600,000 known opiumeaters in the Uuiled States, and we may well add 600,000 more who are not known. It is estimated that there are at least 30,000 opium-smokers in the United States. In the Uuited States $600,000,000 are spent annually for the weed— more than is spent for bread; more than for both meat and woolen goods; three times as much as for boots and shoes; six times as much as for public educatipn ; more than is spent for the support of the government— enough to buy 600,000 homes giving shelter to 4,000,000 persons. * * * Miss Willard Says: “The kingdom of heaven is within you,” shall have a new significance to the clear-eyed, steady-limbed Christian of the future, from whoso blood, brain, and brawn the taint of alcohol and nicotine lias been eliminated by ageo of pure habits and noble heredity.” * * * From Whittier.

It is anttounced that a year ago the custom of furnishing tobacco to the inmates of Mayomensiug prison iras discontinued. The physicians in charge report that general health improved and no bad results followed. Sometime ago tho largest penitentiary in England tried the same plan with like results. Why not introduce the plan in all institutions supported by the government? In the prisons mentioned above, ,instead of eight hundred dollars formerly spent for tobacco, two K hundred will now be ilonaled to tbtn purchase of reading matter.

: THE GIRL ABOUT TOWR. She Diseonrses on Several Yerj Important Subjects. The. man with a hobby is closely akin to the crank. He is like h im, an enthusiast; and, like him, he “fills up” on his pet idea; but, unlike the crank, he does not extend his researches and observations beyond the hobby. The crank may be full of plans of various kinds for the regeneration of mankind, while the hobby-rider may care more for himself and his own happiness than for humanity. Both classes are usually honest as well as enthusiastic, and are of the kind who wish to do well by everyone else. The hobby-rider dwells upon his single idea until he becomes thoroughly imbued with it in all its forms and bearings, and it is a gratification to himself, if not to others, to learn all that can be learned concerning it I confess to a liking for men who have hobbies. They are seldom vicious pr mean. Desirous as they may be to take up their friends to ride with them, they do not endeavor to use compulsion to that end. They are usually charitable to those riding hobbies other than their own, and they not infrequently effect much good in their way.

Young man, give me your attention for Jf moment: This is a glorious, world of ever blooming beauty—a grand panorama of changing scenes and new-born hopes, and our lives should be pure, brave, true, and noble. Has the reader not often noticed the daily unfolding of the rosebud, revealing shades of colors of rarest beauty and glorious sweetness? To us it should raveal pearls of greatest purity, and sweeten our daily lives with pulsations of delight, with sparkling gems to light our pathway on through the rough and rugged thorns that meet us on every side, that we may look forward to eternal hope, and eternal life beyond. Does the reader ever think of the inate, cold, reckless selfishness ever appearing to chill the heart and blast the sweetest and brightest hopes of some human being? Selfishness is the cause of sin and crime; it is the powerful lever with which Satan moves the world to execute his evil work. Were we all as thoughtful of others as of self, earth would be an Eden. Why cannot human beings banish self from their dispositions? It sometimes requires patience and sacrifice of the gravest nature, but is not the glorious sweetness, of the reward worth striving for? Life must ever be mingled with sunshine and shadow; but why not prolong the sunshine and shorten the dark shadows by kind words, smiles of sweetness and true politeness that teaches us to remember the comforts and pleasures of others before ourselves?

It is saiu that the heart never grows old—that faith and hope are ever present in' the breast till the eyes close in death and the soul goes on to eternity. Those of thirty and over have feelings the same as those of twenty and over— yet, how often . do we hear those who have not yet gone from the family circle, call a loving mother and a kind father “old tools” and other harsh inhuman names. Eecause a mother or father in the fondness of their love for a son or daughter thinks it proper to give: a word of advice, a little loving aid kind admonition, thoughtless ridicule and cold ingratitude is thrust upon them at the.expense of bitter, burning tears, and weary heartaches, and so unconsciously every day the character of human beings are in reality being moulded, which must determine for then eternal life or eternal death. This is a progressive age, but when the girl or boy of fifteen or twenty regards it “smart” to ridicule the parents who brought them into existence—the parents who have le v- j ingly and faithfully nursed, protected and endeavored to educt te and make life’s ways to them pleasant and beautiful, it shows bid taste and a sad perversion of Iheir youthful minds. Too much selfish- J ness is the ruling passion and for their own welfare they would better let conscience dictate better j

eays, for they are mouldirig a| iharacter that in the futuire will; >lot out every vestige of sweetness rom their souls. The shadows of :old selfishness will forever have! janished all sunshine from the leart, while the cold, bitter desola:ion they have given others will be :he only recompense' they can ever lope to attain- We are told that :rue womanhood js grand, beyond impression, that “manliness is akin :o godliness” and that upon the rock of true politeness is based the foundations of all success, grand and glorious. Yet, how often do we find politeness utterly ignored, while rudeness reigns supreme? The well earned honors of age and wisdom are not respected, but outraged and striken down with a rude, ruthless hand, and hurled prostrate in the dust, bleeding at every pore, as it were, appeal in vain to those whose only answer is base ingratitude and selfishness. Why not become a new being and cast selfishness to the fierce winds that will forever banish its cruel shadows from your heart? Let thy heart bring sweetness and happiness to other human brings. “We may not tell if morrows day. Shall be all dark or fair; . II thus alone life’s winding way, Curses will fall or prayer; If t<;ars or smiles shall mark the face, Hopes crushed, or lifted high; We cannot of the morrow trace, Neither thou nor.I.” * * *

A woman’s tongue! Yes, and what of it? Never stops, fou say? Right, and if properly directed, and bridled by a good woman, it is never out of place. It is her right, in this nineteenth century, to talk to whoever will listen, and to write for whoever will read. With civilization has come a part of her freedom; and with still further advance, she may yet be entitled to all the rights and privileges which the governments whose law’s she must respect grant to her brother whose rights are determined solely by sex. What an ignorant thing to do—-to base the rights, civil, religious, and political, of any party or any people, free or slave, on the distinguishing feature known as difference in sex! There can be no other reason for depriving woman of especially her political rights— the right to cast a vote against legalized crime; to sit on a jury to determine the punishment of criminals; to say that criminal conducts shall not be legalized, etc, etc. * * * Excuse me- for a moment, my dear reader, for I have lately been asked two questions,, whether I am married, and if hot, why not. Nol; the GirkAbout Town does not like to be impertinent unless it is in answer to impertinent questions by impertent people. To the first question I may answer, perhaps properly, too, that I am neither married nor single—I am a widow. The last question is most easily answered by quoting the answer of one of the disfranchised sex to a Smart Alex' who askes her why she did not marry. Her reply was: “I have considerable money of my own, I have a parrott that swears, a monkey that chews tobacco, and a hog that will drink whisky if you. disguize it a little. Therefore I do not need to marry.” Now, if .marriage in this tow’n will not fail to improve this condition as often as to improve it, then I will acknowledge that my best observation has taught me a falsehood, and that marriage may not be such a failure as many have declared it to be; but how many men are there who neither chew, smoke, swear,- nor drink?

A Minortj Speech. [For the Deniocrat.J Mr. Chairman, we arehere to support our constitution, With an eye upon the McKinley Bill and gag rule resolution.

That knowledge is power, and ignorance its slave, is forcibly illustrated daily in all walks of life, among ail people, in all countries. Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it becomes necessary to deceive or keep in Ignorance of such methods those- from whom the wealth is taken; hence it is that of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the United States, less than ten are absolutely free and independent of the power or control of some class, party or monopoly whose interest it is to keep the great mass of people in ignorance of their methods.
