A Banquet by the Bnsiness Men’s Asso¬ ciation of >'ew Tork. The Business Men’s Democratic Asso¬ ciation of New Y’ork city celebrated 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.

The Kansas State Alliance Benefit As¬ sociation saved its members three times the cost of the State Alliance. *** On a capital of only $22,000 the Kan¬ sas Alliance Exchange did a business of $1,215,340 during the last fiscal year. *** The Labor Tribune (Carthage, Mo., says. Good crops and close economy can not supply the deficiency in the vol¬ ume of money, nor pay taxes or debts. 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 and Industrial T nion that the delegates from the F turners Allmuec and Indus conferem^to St'"f U La ^2 be held offis Feb ™ t2 to’establish 192 use , r hi frg” u u e and Derfect ^ .tn re a tffinswbh „11 "in th. *1 l .hnr meeting A Zfliinn* represented Gcaltf with the (leniauds as a ...arMich has s and a p 1 at form for principle , and plat !-.,,, be presented to the national conveutiou^ repul>’t?> of the democratic party, the .

At this time I know that tho Uiira party Bas not a gtiost of a show in this section, and if the democratic ma jority in the house will give to the coun try financial relief, and show their will iogDess to lift the burden from the banks of the people, I do not believe that the new party will command a corporal’s guard in any county in Georgia. You never hear it even discussed at our alii ance gatherings, while th^ course of Col. Livingston, and who those 'of our alliance congressmen went into the demo cratic caucus, isuniversaffy commenaed. * * 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. CRAW FORD VILLE.

B.v this means members get a true know ledge of public affairs, and are enabled to form an opin ion which gives them an independence of thought and individuality which have heretofore been unknown to the masses of the people who have been domi listed by a party bigotry which was little better than a state of moral and political servitude * * * Reverses or sucee'ses of elfect political parties can have little or no on the con¬ tinuance of the Alliance.
