Pacific Union Alliance (San Francisco,
Cal.) says: “To break the yoke of the
railroad aud let the oppressed go free is
the great mission of the Farmers’ Alli¬
ance. It proposes to move at once upon
die enemy’s works, and it will win. The
moment the attention of the people is
diverted from the dead and buried issues
of a generation ago and centered upon
the vital questions of the day, victory
will come like an electric flash.

The Southern Mercury (Dallas, Tex.)
says: “Loyal alliancemen everywhere
have reason to feel encouraged, especial¬
ly in Texas. The order is gaining the in
numbers rapidly, aad it is, for first
time in its existence, practically a unit
upon the demands of the National Alli¬
ance. The membership in wide every nook
and corner of the state are awake,
and in many localities men' unknown
upon the stump or forum are challenging
the enemies of our order to debate the
points at issue. Ere the kalends of Jan¬
uary, 1892, nearly every county will be
able to furnish a compstent exponent of
our principles, who will be able to meet
the average political bummer on the hust¬
ings successfully.

POOR ADVICE.
The advice of many politics political and journals
to farmers to let alone attend
strictly to farming is more a tribute to
the importance of agriculture than it is
to its representatives. There is little
danger that a majority of good farmers
will allow their farming interests to suf¬
fer through devotion to politics. But
for many years politics have suffered be¬
cause farmers liave not given them due
attention, and farmers find that, while
they have left politics exclusively to the
politicians, their interests suffer with
fcborii of the entire community. It is the
interest of everybody as well as of farm¬
ers that those who in two-thirds the
s'atos have a majority of the votes and
pay the bulk of taxes, should exercise
the influence which rightfully belongs to
them in the affairs of state and general
governments. — Exchange.

THE KANSAS WAY.
The Progressive Farmer , (Raleigh)
says: “Kansas is maintaining her repu¬
tation ai a “hustling” State. We learn
from the daily press that over 200 mass

“The Farmers’ never
enter a third party or any other party.
It is n band of people organized for pro¬
motion, not politics. It is seeking to
fight injustice done those who belong to
it, and all wanted is justice. Now if
justice cannot be gotten with either the
republican or democratic party in rule, a
member of the alliance will simply -vote
for those who will give him justice.
Every member of the allianco may be¬
lieve in the Ocala platform, and vote for
men who believe with him, but that’s an
individual matter. It isn’t the Farmers’
Alliance. The alliance is composed of
democrats, republicans and other
people all fighting the for democratic justice.
If every member votes
ticket, it doesn’t mean that the Alliance
has joined itself to that party. A man
can be an allianceman and belong to any
political party he wants to. If every
member of the alliance joins a third
party, he does it as an individual seeking
justice for himself and his fellow-men.
I believe that the time is rapidly coming
when all the allianecmen will stand
square on the Ocala platform, and if no
party gives them this or something better
they will leave any party for it. If the
members vote with a new party it will
merely be a method of obtaining an ob¬
ject, that object being justice.”

The following extract is from a speech
delivered recently in the hall of the
house of representatives at Atlanta, Ga.,
by Hon. Thos. Watson:
“We want these unjust laws, by which
one set of men get rich at the expense
of another, removed, and we are deter¬
mined to have them removed. Why we
want them removed is laid down in the
Ocala platform, and then it contains the
principles loan of the land-loan of the bill, which is
to tli 3 money government to
the farmer ju3t as it loans to the banker,
giving him an equal chance in the race,
aud enrich those who indeed bring pros¬
duction; perity. They talk to me about overpro¬
that the people have too much
land, and all that. Why, fellow citizens,
you cannot open a newspaper any day
without your eye falling upon pitiable ac¬
counts of houseless poor, and starving
poor, and these rich protected man¬
ufacturers keeping an armed band
of hired Pinkerton men to
shoot down these poor creatures,
who have a very natural resentment
against the foreign scabs who are im¬
ported to take their places. The Scotch¬
man cannot compete with the protected
manufacturer, the Frenchman cannot
compete with him. Why? Because they
have put on a protective tariff to protect
the American workman(?). How does
the manufacturer do it? By importing
these miserable wretches from Europe
and consigning them to the most revolt¬
ing slavery. That is cunning, and you
fa r mers are told that you must not go
into politics to right this gigantic evil.

Revenue officers sent on from Washing¬
ton have made extensive seizures ol
whisky belonging to the Nelson Distill¬
ing Company, Tausches & Co., A. Scharff,
John Bordeuheimer and about a dozen
other well known liquor houses. The
grounds upon which the seizures were
made, as reported from the office of the
