ALLIANCE PLANS.

Official Declaration of the System of Cooperation to be Followed. Van Baren Prather, State lecturer of the Kansas Alliance, has addressed a communication to the Congressional Alliance setting the plan for organization in compliance with the plans the National Council formulated at Washington, last February. The address is important in that it gives the first official declaration showing that the system of co-operation is to hereafter form the sub-structure of the Alliance movement. On this point the address says: “We have been working upon the competitive plan until we are nearly a nation of wealth-producing paupers. Others have been working upon the co-operative plan and are wealthy. Show thedlfferencu to our people. We are the masters of thei situation, not only politically, but from a business standpoint, both in buying and; selling, if we will only learn the great lesson of co-operation. I would advise not less than two days for lecturers meeting and schooling upon the different topics so? discussion. Present an unbroken front and march on to victory by following the principles of co-operation. Then millions of wage slaves will be emancipated and happiness and prosperity will be our reward. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and by the Eternal he shall have it”
