ALLIANCE TALK.
AN OUTSIDER’S OPINION
THE GREAT ORDER.
He Thinks the Alliance Will be
Victorious in 1892.
Colonel Joseph K. Kiekev is a legal resi¬
dent of Calloway county, Mo , but his
traveling is »•? varied that it may be well
said the boundless Continent is his abid
ing place. He has for years been
at some stage of the Congressional visitor, ses
aions at. Washington, always a affecting
keeping in touch with the pulse enjoying the
the public welfare and
eoinpsoionship of the more conspicuous in¬
magnates holding public trust. In an
terview on the issues of the day, he has the
following to say regarding the Farmers
Alliance. On being questioned as to who
was the coming man whom the with people
will support that is in line the
West and Houth on economic questions,
the < 'olonel said :
“There has come into existence, in the
last, year and a half, an organization
known as the
FAUMKRH ALLIANCE.
The reason of this organization was that
neither party would take advanced steps
toward relieving the agiicuitural circulation, masses
in the way of increasing giving the
or, in other words, them sufficient
money. The republican party has ad¬
hered and continues to adhere to the
single standard. The democratic party,
embracing New York, Pennsylvania and
the. New England states, is equally op¬
posed to th<- double standard. N’ow the
fanning and laboring classes of people,
believing That they could not get relief
from either party, have organized them¬
selves all over the United States into what
is known as Alliance orders, 1 am cred¬
itably informed by those who have access
to their rolls that there are over 4,000,000
voters now in the organization, confidently and
that by 1802 they
expect 0,000,000, which is one-half of
the entire voting population of the United and
Stales. Their principal complaint
demand is more money. There, is only
so much gold and silver in the world,
and only a certain amount can be pro¬
duced. Money is intended as an ex¬
change. It is the duty of the government
to provide a sufficiency of money as much
as it. its to provide police protection and
postal facilities. Now, if we have not
siifficient gold and silver as a basis for
money, it is the duty of the government think
to provide an additional basis. 1
the idea that has been suggested, and
which has been presented to the congress
of the United Btatea in the shape of a
lull by Gov. I,eland Stanford, of Cali
fnritin lornui, the uiu most most piacuiai, nnictical sate safe and auu satis- sails
factory method suggested ot providing money that
has been by any human being.
T-hat is, to loan money directly to the
people on cultivated land at one half of
its assessed value prior to the passage of
the act.
LAND AND LABOR
Arc the basis of all wealth, and as secu¬
rity, land is permanent, imperishable and
essential to the production of the necessa¬
ries of life. There will be no more bor¬
rowed than can lie used. If a man bor
rows $500 and liu can make no use of it
profitably he simply returns it to the gov¬
ernment and cancels his mortgage. It
makos a permanent circulation. It reaches
all classes for the reason that if the far
mer can borrow it it fixes the rate of in
terest for the mechanic, for the laboring
man, for the merchant and for all classes
who are ingaged in the industries. The
rate will be absolutely uniform, no violent
expansion or contraction. I have no idea
that this congress or the next is going to
give any relief to the people so fur as the
eurren v is concerned. The politician
and office-holder are timid and eonserva
tlve. I believe that the great mass of
CODgrcss to-day recognizes this as the
true solution of the financial question, but
|n load, all and great not reforms until tlio the people people have have to
ex
pressed themselves in unmistaken tones
will the men v,ho have clung to the Joffer
sonian'theories and strict constructionists
who do not believe that the government
lias a right to relieve its citizens—not un
til then will these men now in office re
cognize this great fundamental truth.
THIS ALTERNATIVE
Is in the organization that I hare just
spoken of, the Farmers' Alliance, and
they will perforce of necessity be com¬
pelled to withdraw their allegiance from
both opinion, of the and great of existing parties. In
my course it is simply
iny individual presidential opinion, the Alliance will
nominate a candidate in
1892, and invite all men of both parties
who are in sympathy with them to co¬
operate with them, in this I think that
it will draw as large a number from both
of the parties as will remain iu them, lu
other wot da, I believe to-day that one half the
Republican party is in sympathy
with this movement, as well ns one naif,
if not more, of the Democratic party, for
the reason that the idea set forth and the
aims and purposes of this groat organiza
tion are for the relief of the great body
politic.

STANFORD'S BILL.
There is no inau in (his country who is
better known than Senator Stanford of
California. He is a typical American,
who began life, like most of his country-
men who have distinguished themselves
in any walk of life, with nothing but his
own native energy and capacity, bv
which he has steadily climbed to fortune
and to fame.
Regarding his bill in advocating the
issue of i*aper money based on nothing
but the stamp of this government, the
Senator, in au interview says:
“It would Ik- based on the industries
of 05 millions of people, the most indus¬
trious and productive people in the
world: upon the vast and impeachable
security of real eslate; upon the resources
and credit of the government itself. A
promise from our government has behind
it the entire nation with its immense re¬
sources. in addition to this, under the
provisions of my bill, there would be set
aside for the redemption of the money
loaned a specific porti n of the property
of the United States. The government
loans its credit and receives two percent,
for the use of it, and has for security
double the amount of the best security
known—real estate. The government is
perfectly secure for this reason: If ever the
borrower fails to pay the interest and the
government forecloses, some one is sure
to step forward and take up the mort¬
gage. There is every reason to be¬
lieve that among the neighbors of the
original owner none could be found to
to allow the property to be sold when
\ hey could borrow the money at two per
cent to buy it at half its value. The
proposition is to loan to any one who
has real estate, that is to loan the govern¬
ment credit. The government will not
be au operator in real estate. The prop¬
erty' will never be encumbered for more
than its value, and if it lias to be taken
for foreclosure, some of the neighbors
will always be found to take it at the
assessed value, since they can raise upon
the property at two per cent enough to
pay oil the enct.mb irance. It is what
gov rnment ought to do, as it is the only
power that can make money. Money is
a necessity. People will not produce
more than is sufficient to supply their
own wants, unless they can exchange
their surplus for the products of some¬
body else.

LIVINGSTON’S CIR CLAlt.
President Livirgsto.i, of the Georgia
Farmers’ Alliance, has published the fol¬
lowing letter: To Whom It May Con
CEitN. Insinuations have been made that
officials connected with the State Alliance
of Georgia would o” should be charged
with conduct unbecoming said officials,
and such intimations have been standing
for some time before tiie public. Now as
gia, president and of the State Alliance of order, Geor¬
solely for the good of the
both at home and abroad, I
insist that for any unbecoming
official conduct on the part of any
officer or agent of the State Alliance,
chirjes be made to the executive of the
State Alliance; and for any conduct other
than such as the State Alliance has juris*
diction over, charges be made before the
sub-Alliance to which any officer may be
attached. 1 will call the state executive
committee notice that together at ready any time be upon
charges are to pre
sented, anil do all and anything,in my
power to have a full, fair and just inves
t t lout gut ion ion at the 1 1... inatnuo instance of «nv any wmnn peison
o r if the executive committee of the State
Alliance disposed is objectionable bring to those who
are to charges against any
or all the officials of the State Alliance,
then I will call the State Alliance together
and submit the whole matter to that body.

Because one remedy pro¬

Because one doctor lets his
