ALLIANCE TALKS. MEWS OP THE ORDER FROM ALL SECTIONS. Items of Interest to Alliance men Everywhere. The Nebraska Alliance has grown from 70,000 to 110,000 since last election.— Atchison Patriot. *** The Thedford, (Neb.) Tribune, says: *‘Tho people are no longer interested in party for party success or party suprem¬ acy, in that but they are more diretly interested that is party, without regard to that its name, favorable advocating their measures material interests. are to own *** Alliance mass meetings will be held in North Carolina at the following times and places: Kings Mountain, Wednesday, July 29th; Maxton, Thursday, August <*th; Rocky Mount, Saturday, August fith; Charlotte, Wednesday, August 27ib. President Polk will be at each of these appointments, Kansas, and prominent Jere Simpson, of and other speakers will take part in the meetings. *** A stale convention of the North Da kato Farmers’ Alliance was held at Grand Forks several days ago. New officers and delegates to the next national con¬ vention were elected, the constitution and by-laws were revised, and resolutions the yrere Ocala adopted declaring for prohibition, platform, government control or ownership of mainlines of railroads, uniform text books, free coinage and the taxatiou of options. * * * 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. * * * Dublin (Texas) Progress says: “The leading newspapers throughout the state, as well as a uiultiiude of similar lights, are just now discussing the third party movement in chorus. As to what effect; Hits third party, lately organized, win have on national politics we are unable to surmise, but the cause which gave rise to its organization will be fre-h in the minds of the laboring people of this country until the reforms for which they have so long been praying are obtained. * * "The Baltimore America?! saj s that the Farmers’ Alliance will hold their ..jenckmpaieni in Mary laud, near Baltimore, and the annual encampment will be held there every year certainly ftn ihc next - live years, and it is probable that the site will be purchased and the encampment located there permanently. This year’s encampment will be held in September. needed About 200 acres of land will be for the encampment, and an auditorium will be erected which will seat 12,000 people. * * * 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 .m :etiugs were held by the people on the 4tti of July. In each of the ore hundred and six counties of the State h sld mass .meetings. The enthusiastically People’s Party endorsed. was everywhere speakers could not be r l toe demand for supplied—many of the speakers eting were dur¬ forced to be at two or three mi ing (be day. The feature of all the con, gres Tonal meetings were huge nation’s banners telli; g the three crisis in the toistory, The first was in 1776 when the JDeclaration of Independence was made, the second tho abolition of chattle slav¬ ery, the third would be in 1892, the abo¬ lition of industrial slavery through the Kansas 1’ioplcs patty. they Vfhen all the together people and oi movo movo with all their might. Dr, Maeune was interviewed by and the Atlanta Constitution a few days ago, being questioned ns to his opinion of the third party replied: Allianco will “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. * * *' yy e must demand our rights in away to let these people know that wc want them, and we want them bad. IT EXCITED CURIOSITY. How the Building- of a Wall Engendered Trouble. A Dallas, Tex., dispatch of Saturday f ays : Last fall the commissioner’s court of Dallas county contracted with S. L.
