On return from a trip through the
state of New York, where he has been
speaking to the people on the principles
of the Alliance, Hon. Jerry Simpson is
reported as saying that “the financial situa
'ion among the farmers is critical; that
in the section where he has been, fully 80
per marly cent their of the full farms are mortgaged' for
value. He says the peo
pie are anxious to join the Alliance and
engage in this great work of industrial
emancipation.”
Adair County Fanner (Kirksville, Mo.)
says: “The Alliance does not expect to
get every reform that is needed at once,

consequently they would have to raise
the rates to cover that loss. It was the

A dispatch of Wednesday from Ra

the statement that iu Hornellsville, N.

opinion whatever as to a third party.
What may be my individual opinion on
that subject, I conc.ive that 1 have no>
right as president of a great non-partisan
organization to usurp whatever of force
an official expression might bring to it.
If the exigencies of the situation demand
the formation of a third party, the peo¬
ple will discover it and will lutve it. I
am content In abide their decision.”
