ALLIANCE ITEMS.
“Come let us reason together,” let
forget for awhile that we are anything
but American citizens; let us consider
ourselves neither Democrats, Republi
cans, populists nor prohibitionists; then
when we are no longer prejudiced by
any party we can look the great is
sues that arc agitating the country
squarely in the face; then, and not till
then we can see as we have never seen
l*efore the mistakes of the past and the
dangers of the future. You blind party
worahippers, who are mere slaves t<
party of your fathers, cannot see
rock* ahead of you. You are looking
backward all the time at the daogei
that are passed while we are looking
ahead, we see the rocks just before
us, ujton which Rome, the proud
mighty ruler of the whole world, made
shipwreck; the same rock that ruined
intellectual Greece, that blotted ou
tronomical Egypt, that destroyed
changable Babylon and that lei
the walls of the holy Jewish temple, is
just ahead of us. We sec it and hav
raised a cry of warning. We have plead
ed and begged you old party idolaters to
look ahead and see it as we see it, hut
you only l»»w down once more before
your hideous idol, your Baal of corrup
tion and fraud, ami cry “We cannot help
the rocks ahead of us, hut oh Ia>rd, give
us taritf reform 1 ” And on we go, nearer
ami nearer to the rocks each day.
have lost all patience with such a set of
fanatics and blind party worshijiers, and
hare concluded Jo take the helm, i
own hands, and while you rant and pray
t«» your party idol we will guide the ship
of state safely around the rocks of disas
ter. —
Now here is just what we mean: The
accumulation of wealth into the hands
of the lew is the rock that has caused
shipwreck of every nation in the worlu’i
past history. We have reached that
place on the ocean of our national exist
ence where all those other great
have gone down, and we want to avoid
the same disaster. Just the other d;
young gentleman of intelligence and ed
ucation said to me, that, to avoid these
dangers was ’impossible and impracti
cable, and then lie commenced to pray
little tariff prayer to his old party idol.
I rcaly felt soiry for him, for just such
blindness will as surely cause
(ruction as that the rocks are ahead of
us. What if we have the grandest
uation under the sun, what if our ship
state is superior to any one that is,
ever has been, is it not plain to cvi
one that the rocks that have proven dis
astrous to all other nations will wreck
too if we run on them? It is practical,
it is possible to go around them, and lie
who says it is not is either very ignor
ant or else there is something else the
matter with him.
How many times do the old party
idolaters have to he told that tariff re
form is only a partial relief? Would
low tariff or even no tariff at all break
the grasp of monopolies on the throat of
our indwtrie*? If so then why is free
trade England literally plastered all
over with trusts? Would tariff reform
solve the railroad question?
crstic daily papers and also the associa
ted press dispatches told the people that
Rev. J. L. Gilmore of Georgia cast elev
en rotes for the colored Alliance of this
State, and that the colored people were
mad about it; that the convention was
controlled by eleven black votes in one
white slrin, and that Gilmore was an
Englishman recently from the old
country, and further more, that he was a
deserter from the English army. Not
only the avowed enemies of the labor
movement published Ihe above bundle
falsehoods, but the Atlanta Constitu
tion, that claims to be the farmers friend,
gave it wide circulation, and if we mis
take not, commented on it editorial}-.
Now here are the facts in the case: Rev.
L. Gilmore is an English sailor who
came to this country thirteen years ago.
He is a Baptist minister and a school
teacher. He was elected at the last
State convention of the Georgia Alliance
lecturer for the First Congressional Dis
trict, we believe without any opposition.
time be has been State organ
iter of the colored Alliance, and was on<
of the duly appointed delegates of that
organization to the St. Louis convention,
ami cast, not eleven votes, but only
and that vote would not have changed
the result of one single action of the
conference if it had been cast at Living
ston’s dictation. The whole report of the
proceedings of the labor conference,
the old party papers, was not much
nearer the truth than the sample just
J that is about as i
truth as they can get ten falshooda to
truth. Farmers and laboring people
generally can tell the truth at least half
of the time, but when it comes
lies and only one truth it gets ahead of
badly that we ought note to l>e
blamed for wanting to get int<
vn. We are not Democrats if
going to he obliged to tell ten
lies to one little bit of a truth.
w they are making a great
the labor convention proposes to
solve the negro question and take it out
f politics. They say we are going t
establish social equality of the race
that is another sample.of old party v<
racily. Have we not been puzzled for
know what to do with the race
problem? And now when the people’s
party offers the only practical solution
of the perplexing question they are, iu-
stead Of receiving the support of the so-
called party of the people,” met with
misrepresentation and abuse, it is very
:lear to any one of ordinary intelligence
that as long as the colored vote is con
centrated in any single party that it is a
dangerous clement in our politics, hut
divide it into two or more parties and it
ceases to be of any danger whatever and
problem will be solved natur
ally and effectually. The negro will not
be a bone of contention any longer and
that is just the thing the old parties do
not want to sec. They do not want to
solve the negro question any more than
they want to solve the tariff question.
They want to save the negro question to
get up force bills over. That gives the
plutocratic press some thing to thunder
about. In the South they can yell them
selves hoarse over it, and in the North
ditto. They never intended to pass any
force bill, aud if they had it could not*
and would not have been enforced, It
has made lots of political thunder, but
it is played out. We are going to ro-
member the little story of “Eleven black
es in one white skin” when we read
old party paper.

TlitHt Louis convention was one of
the most, harmonious assemblies of the
kind that has ever been held; there was
no wrangling whatever over any of the
moat important part of the proceedings,
unless the setting down on the politicians
who were determined to fly the Alliance
on their political kite, be considered one
of the most important things that was
done and the wrangling then was mostly
from Livingston, Moses A Co. In the
vote on the adoption of the platform in
cluding independent political action,
only two votes were cast in the negative;
those two came front Livingston and
Wilson who immediately left the hall
and came straight to Georgia, to tell
their fellow party idolaters that “there
would be no third party in Georgia; that
the fanners in this State were all Demo
crat*.” They had evidently forgotten
all about that thirty foot string of resolu
tions, (displayed by Bru. Branch), that
had recently been pawed by the fann
ers of Georgia, in favor of independent
political action. Perhaps they will think
about it next November.

Another thing that is worrying the
old party very much and out of which
they are trying to make campaign thun
der, is the pension plank in the labor
platform. Why don’t they tell us some
thing about how many Democrats voted
to pay the rich bond holders in coin,
the very bonds that only cost them
about fifty-six cents on the dollar? There
ought to he some way to make the gree
dy corporations disgorge some of their
ill-gotten gains and if we had a good
graduated income tax large enough to
make the arristocratic classes pay their
share of the government’s expenses
would not mind doing justice to the sol
diers. Of course we cannot stand any
more taxation as long as the laboring
people have to pay eighty per ce
all the taxes, but just make the thirty-
one thousand millionaires pay their por
tion and we doubt if the soldier boys
would need any further assistance; if
they did we could give it to them and
never miss it. So you see, brother Alli-
ancexnen, that even that plank is
such a calamity as the subsidized party
is trying to make it appear.
