are Democrats.—Augusta Chronicle.
The Alliance Record says: “Our
people must not expect too much in
the shape of relief by legislation.
They must make agriculture a busi

farming and varied products must
supplant the loose methods at present
prevailing.”

Here is the way a Western writer,

ou account of a piece of beefsteak or
a cup of coffee; or where a woman
opens her mouth and in the short
space of ten seconds makes a man’s life

wants and have it right away. But

MACUNE’S YARDSTICK
SHOULD NOT MEASURE GEORGIA-
An Allianceman Calls A Halt—A
Letter to His Brethren—
Stick to the Original
Grand Purpose.
In a calm and able letter to his broth
er Allianccmen, Mr. Thomas J. Liv
ingston makes a fervent protest against
Macuneism in Georgia. Mr. Livings
ton presents sound democratic views
that prove him worthy of the “Thom
as Jefferson” part of his name.
The letter first appeared in the
Quitman Press. It should be read by
every allianceman in Georgia.
Key, BRooks Countv, Sept 12,1890.
To My Brother Allianccmen :
You will please allow one of your
humble members to give u'lcrancc to
his feelings. I have been an Alliance-
men from its infancy and am now.
I think the declaration of purposes
both grand and noble, and if carried
ou’, would be a blessing to the human
family. That means all the people,
not a class.
If you will review the first two years
of the Alliance in Georgia, you will
have to admit that it has been
OF GREAT BENEFIT TO TIIE FARMERS.
They have informed themselves as
to the necessities of the times. They
can buy more goods for the same mon
ey than ever before, and the rising gen
eration will be better fitted for social
employments; but for the last six
months I fear we have gotten off the
track. While 1 think it right to mix
Alliance with our politics, yet I think
it wrong to mix politics in our Alii-
ance. If you are obliged to drink
whiskey, mix a great deal of water
with it; but if you drink water, mix no
whiskey with it,
i.et's call a halt
and see where we are drifting. When
in comes to nomimting candidates to
serve all the people, I am opposed to
closed doors and 1 am opposed to dis
franchising some of the best citizens in
the country on account of their profes
sions. For instance, say to the city
preachers, lawyers, doctors, merchants
and editors, according to the yardstick
vou are not eligible to office.
NO VARD STICK WANTED-
The Alliance that initiated me had
no such yard stick, and we have none
where 1 am a member now. Yon must
admit that in the above named pro
fessions a large majority pf them are
as good people as we are. I ask you,
in all .c.andor, how can you say to them,
“You are not ^ligifole to office,” and
ask them to help elect yoM Pffice-
and by this act pul seme of our good
people and some of our greatest
statesman on an equality, politically,
with the most ignorant coyn$ekJ negro.
The northern people keep strife in the
cruntry because we will not put negro
in office to rule us, and now we say to
some of our best and wisest men.
“You are on a par wit-i the negro.”
ALL MEN AEE USEFUL—EVEN EDITORS.
If you were to be tried for your life
you would want a lawyer to defend
you. If you were sick you would want
a physician. If you were dying vou
would want the minister to pray for
you. If you should die your widow
would ask the merchants to sell her a
■hroud, and perhaps on credit; and
the editor would be asked to publish,
free of charge, a long obituary, set
ting forth your good traits and omit
ting the bad ones. And still you say
to them, “Depart! We can’t trust
you in office.”
Are we not here to help each other?
Can the eye say to the foot or hand,
“ Wc have no need of thee.” Are we not
members of this great body? Should
we not all work together ? God has
get the members together as it has
pleased him. So let us pull together.
HOW ABOUT GENERAL GORDON.
This course of procedure brings us
to consider the ease of one of the
greatest warriors, grandest statesmen
and purest men-shall I say jn Geargia ?
No but in the world—Governor Gor
don. He is a candidate .for the
United States senate. Now, to my
brethern in the legislature: We are
told that Governor Gordon is to have
the yard stick applied to him by some
politician, for I ho’d that the Alliance
in purity has no such yard stick, and if
it had it would not apply it to such men
as Gov, Gordon; this yard stick will

VARD STICK
when you joined the Alliance, or did
they tell you that the obligations would
not conflict with your political or re
ligious views ? Even now, after all the
fuss about the sub-treasury bill, if it
was a test of .membership do you be
lieve that one-half of the members of
the Alliance could get in ? I do not.
The men who framed the bill are not
satisfied with it, for they always say
they want something better. And so
do I, and I think John B. Gordon is
the best man to
GIVE US SOMETHING BETTER.
I ake the bold ground that Gordon
is an Allianceman, except that he has
not swallowed a yard slick, and can
prove it by a longer experience than
any man in the order. Read his act
in congress and read our declaration
of purposes, and then tell me why you
can’t trust him ? You had just as well
