AN INCUBUS ON THE ALLIANCE.
«
Men Who Rain Merchants find Do Not
Pay Their UebtH.
Mr Editor: —“Whoso rewardetb
evil for good, evil shall not depart
from his house.” Prov. 17-13.
A certain remark often reposted
by a small minority of narrow minded
members of the Farmer’s Alliance,
will account for the scriptural quota
tion at the head of this article.
They say we are going to ruin the
merchants, and seem to rejoice more
at the prospective ruin of that esscn
tiul class of citizens than they do at
the prospective benefits that may ac
crue to the people through that or
ganixation; Therefore this defense
is made in behalf of the merchants,
not because the writer io interested
in a pin hook business, but because
be is grateful for favors extended
him by the merchants.
The Farmer’s Alliance, with ihe
exception of the small minority re
ferred to, is composed of broad mind
ed farming citizens of the country,
whose objects are grand and noble,
in the execution o' whitfh all good
men will bid them God speed. They
have a rignt to organize for the good
of the people in general, and them
■elves in particular.
This is a free country, and all bon
orable occupations should be respect
ed. Let the extortioner lose bis pat
ronage and honest men live by their
calling. Then prosperity wil! crown
the legitimate efforts of all. To this
end may the Alliance prosper and
spread like a green bay tree.
In all that ban been or may be
said in this article about the miuori
ty, no reference is made to honest
men who, through misfortune,
fail to pay their debts as
they’ desire. Many good men
fail and again renew their ef
forts with a longing desire to meet
their obligations. Such men deserve
as much respect as an old time nabob.
Those who wilfully express a desire
to ruin their benefactors are meant,
and they only. Moreover, they are
advised to get from under, for some
thing is going to drap.
Gentlemen, do you know that you
baDg like an incubus upon society!
Well, you do. The night mars is
nowhere when compared to the suf
locating sensation that the weight
of your good for nothing life places
upon the breast of the public. You
have been ruining folks lo! these j
many years. Seven tenths of all the
merchants that have failed in this
countiy have been ruined by yon*
Yes, you have cojsuuu .1 tneir goodg
and never paid for them. Now yea
join an organization designed for
the good of all the people and yet
express a desire to reward evil for
good. It is feared that you will
hang heavily upon the hands of the
Alliance, for if yonr motto ig ruin
to others, according to ihe text,
ruin will come borne to roost.
To do good for evil is scriptural,
and emanates from a jpivine pricci
pie, but to do evil for good is un
scriptural aod smells like Hades
