The Farmers’ Alliauce.
Editor Herald:
The alliance as an organization is do¬
ing what no other organization ever at¬
tempted to do. It encourages the edu¬
cation of agricultural classes iu the
science of economical government, in a
strictly non-partisan spirit. While many
of our farmers have gone into the alli¬
ance and contended honestly for its prin¬
ciples against a tirade of abuse from the
old subsidized party press, there are hun¬
dreds of others standing aloof aud giving
neither aid nor comfort to the order in no
way. Many in the order have quit at-
ten ing then lodge meetings; they do

Wall strett interest. The paper, are ad-
Xrn^nt ofbin'ker. Tad hS holder.,?
by bankers and bond-holders, and for
bankers and bond-holders, and aga nst
the people. The alliance has dune a
great deal to awaken an interest on the
part of the people through its
effurts at education in the
duties and responsibilities resting upon
< acb voter. While much has been done
in this line, a great deal remains yet to
be done. Many are content to plod
along in the old ruts, instead of coming
out on the side of the people in the be¬
half of ‘‘equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.” The labor of the
country has been discriminated against
by the laws of congress for thirty years
past. Had congress enacted financial
laws equally in favor of the farmer, with
the banker and bondholder, there would
not be the widespread complaint to-day. among
the people that there is
In 1873 and 1874, silver, that was
made the unit of value and the money of
account in the coinage act of 1792, was
dropped from our coinage laws in favor
of home and foreign bondholders and
against the people. The single gold
standard is behind the opposition to sil-
ver. The silver dollar o$ 1792 contained
371.25 grains of pure silver. This
has never been changed. The sil-
vi r dollar of 1792 contained 410
grains standard silver. By the act of
1837 the alldy in the silver dollar was
changed from 44| grains to 41J grains,
the pure silver remaining the same ex-
actly by the act of 1837 us it was in the
original act of 1792.
The plea is put forwaid at present that
the silver dollar is a “dishonest dollar,”
simply because 3714 grains of pure sil¬
ver will not sell for IbO cents. The argu
meat on this line, if it m'av be called
argument, is intended to gull the people
and keep them in the dark on the subject
of money. Our financial legislation
since 1861 has, in a measure*, been dic¬
tated by English capitalists, and to-day

street, London, are directing American

It is predicted that the Alliance
soon be a thing of the past; this, how-
ever, is with the people. England conquering has
never given up the idea of
America. She tried the bayonet in 1770,
but failed. In 1872 she sent a Jew over
here with $500,000 to secure the demon-
itization of silver, which was done iu
the interest of home and English bond
holders. Our present financial policy, will
