The Business Men’s Democratic Asso¬

Jackson’s Day with a banquet Friday
night. Speeches were made by Grover
Cleveland and Mr. Springer, of Illinois.
Spiakingon “The Issues of the Dsy,’’
Mr. Springer said among other things:
“I can state, without any fear of success¬
ful contradiction, that “there is not the
slightest probability of a free coinage
bill becoming a law during this congress,
nor is it likely that any amendment of the
existing law will be made. If any meas¬
ure on this subject is passed it will be
one which democrats throughout the
country fan and will cordially support. It
is p ssiblo that some such measure.accepta
bie to democrats generally, may be agreed
up m and become a law during this ses
- a of congress. In reference to public
expenditures, the democratic house of
representatives of this congress may be
relied upon for a record of rigid econ
omy. This will not be another hiilion

Some papers are shouting as^if big crops
c< uld bring money into circulation,
when the fact is impossible. Good crops
cause prices to fall for want of money
enough to handle and hold the same,
whereas if money was plentiful, it would
be called into use in handling the crops,
which would make large crops a blessing
in two ways—first, by the extra labor it
would employ; and, second, by the
amount of money that would go into
circulation.

MEETING OK ALLIANCE PRESIDENTS.
The presidents , , , of . the various . state
alliances held an executive session in
Washington a few days ago. According
to dispatches, the meeting was some what
heated when the question of alliance po
litical affiliation came up. A number of
other alliancemen who happened to be in
Washington, but had no vote in the
meeting, were allowed to was‘agreed be present and
express themselves. It by
them lhat an attempt to transfer the al
lianee vote of the country to any party
w-ould result in the complete destruction
of the order. A resolution was passed
unanimously calling upon the February
St. Louis convention to refrain from
committing the alliance to any party.
The resolution Is as foliows: “Resolved,
That it is the sentiment and desire
of this conference of the pres
ffients of the Farmers Alliance

of the alliancemen of Georgia being

TH* A1XIANCE NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Under the above headlines the Midland
Journal has a very comprehensive article
from which we extract the following:
The aims aud scope of the Farmers’ Al¬
liance in its several - associations, and
which separate branches are fast consoli¬
dating in our national body, are but,
dimly understood by the general public,
who have been misled by the daily pa¬
pers, either through design or ignorance
on the part of their editors. The gene¬
ral impression with outside parties is that
the Alliance is a kind of farmers’ politi¬
cal party which will make nominations,
and if those candidates fail of election,
will speedily dissolve and be heard of no
more, that they, the farmers, have
some crude ideas about laws of finance
ami tuner eeooonucf questions, wmen
are undigested and chaotic, which, if
attempted to be put into practice, would
utterly fail to work. The monopoly press
of the cities have been industrious to
spread this prejudice belief among if the people and
create a possible against the
Alliance. Many intelligent farmers who
draw ail their information from the daily
press and flatter themselves that they arc
well posted on mi* public matters, are the
dupes of this in formation. Trie Alii
ance is in no tente a politic.il ptrty, but
a co-operative brotherhood, in w hich all
political tiall parties rather are treated considered with impar
ty, or not at all.

but in wined all economic questions are
receiving a searching examination with

them The Alliance lias an order nf
business which is toll.iwed in its meetings
which never varies, and insures its work

Reverses or sucee'ses of elfect political parties
