Items of Interest to Alliance

EXTRACTS FROM THE REFORM PRESS.
The Alliance Sentinel (Rogers, Ark.)
says: “Let the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union wake up and put ou the
whole armour in behalf of the whole peo¬
ple. The doctrine of the Alliance is a
declaration in behalf of all the people. It
is a doctrine that must be pressed to the
front, to the end that the oid ideas, pur
poses and policy of partyism mav be over
thrown, peaceably at the ballot box
Bossism has done its woik, and it is imw
for the people to come to the rescue, and
secure good government for all.”
The ***
Alliance in Virginia is progressing
very satisfactorily vigorous iudeed. During the
tion past has year been a conducted, campaign of educa¬
with the usual
beneficial results. Harmony and uuitv
have been the distinguishing features of
this effort, and the brethren throughout
the State are reaping the reward which
follows such action. The State officials
have been earnest, hard-working and
persistent, and have conducted the affairs
of the Alliance in an intelligent, conser¬
vative manner. Bright prospects and
rapid advancement await the Alliance in
Virginia.
The Farmers’ Alliance Journal (Balti¬
more, Md. )says: “The Farmers’Alliance
has a grand and noble mission. Let it
not be perverted nor driven back from
the line of its duty. That mission is not
necessarily the establishment of sub
treasuries nor any other pet schemes, but
the education of its members in economic
questions and relief trom the burdens
borne by its members. Financial reform
should be its watchword, and it should
be ever ready to profit by the wisdom of
ethers as developed in the discussion of
questions pertaining thereto.

The Milton, (W. Ya.,) Star says: “The
idea of a partisan press withholding anv
favorable Alliance news from the musses
in the hope that it will inure to the injury
of the organization, is just as mean as it
will prove futile. The various State an
nual meetings as they are being held dis¬
close the fact that the growth of the Al¬
liance still continues phenomenal. Thou¬
sands of sub-Alliauees and several States
have been organized during the past year.
The older organizations are increasing in
numbers where the material has not all
been exhausted. Better still, the mem
bership is daily growing more determined
to have at all hazards relief from moneyed
oppression.

The National Alliance (Houston. Tex.)
says: “A feature of the last two or three
weeks has been the number of dormant
alliances revived. The principle of life
once instilled never dies. There is that
in true alliance principles which once
seen is never forgotten. The final perse
verence idea is a fixture in the alliance. It
will be very difficult even to get enlight¬
ened alliancemen to vote all the money
to the speculators degradation and national their bankers, owh
and poverty and to
families. No, they used to do that, but
they know better now. They may be be¬
hind with their dues, and not in good
standing in the alliance, but they have
seen the light and will never forget it. ”

The Alliance in Colifornia has become
the wonder of the organization. Its
rapid perception through substantial the growth, its
quick the order, of and the aims reiidiness and pur¬
poses of with
which it has fallen into Hue and entered
the contest with all the vigor, intelligence
and determination of the older organiza¬
tions, is a marvel to all who give it a
moment’s consideration. The brethren
ot that great state have set an example
worthy of emulation throughout the en
tire order. California is to day one of
the banner Alliance States. Its officers
are of the highest rank, vigorous, faith
ful and intelligent. They have done
their work grandly and weli, and are en¬
titled to the reward which should follow
such action. The Alliance press of the
State has done a great work and is
worthy of all praise. Taken as a whole
the Alliance of California should have a
position in the front rank, among the
mostinportant states.—Economist.

The Alliance Vindicator (Sulphur
Springs, said Tex.,) about says: the “As the there is so
much cost to govern¬
ment to own the railroads, we give under¬ some
figures below so every man can
stand for himself. Many of our opposers
say it would cost at least ten billion dol¬
lars to buy the roads. Now let’s see.
There are about 100,000 miles of rail¬
road in America. No well-informed man
will contend that they cost over an aver¬
age of $20,000 a mile, which would make
their cost only $3,200,000,000. The
savings that government ownership
woma gave m carrying me man and re¬
ductions in officers’ salaries and cutting
down thousands of useless officers, law¬
yers, consolidated depots in towns and
other matters, to say nothing of reduction
in rates, would pay that amount in
twenty years. The government could
reduce traffic one-half, which added
would pay for them in about five years.”

WHY NOT THE SUB-TREASURY PLAN?
Because, with this crop of 550,000,000
bushels of wheat, it would put $150,000,
000 more into the pockets of the farmers
and yet wheat not cost the consumer one
cent more on the bushel.
It would Dever do to have such a plan
m operation. Because it would give the
Southern producer fully $75,000,000
more on the cotton crop and yet cotton
Cost the mills not a cent more per bale—
lifting untold mortgages from those
8 mthern plantations.
It would never do to let the toiling
people open such a doorway to prosperity
and independence. Because it would
distribute $10,01)0.000,000 of the accu
mulated bank wealth and stock wealth
over the great level of anxious human
hearts—to lift them into au atmosphere
now wholly unknown.
It would never do to encourage such
wild and crazy dreams as that.—Indus¬
trial Union, Creston, la.
The Alliance Advocate (r.ouisvillc
Tenn.) says: “Time was when the p,-o
pie were sovereign in this country, but
now let a man but express a difference of
opinion from those w ho have set them
sclvcs up as dictators of our government,
and the old party press unite in anarchist' branding

It is but a single step re

The Toiler (Nashville, Tenn.,) says:
“Thomas Jefferson was an advocate of 'a
urge circulating medium. He advocated
u volume of $200,000,000 when the pop
nlation was less than 8,000,000. At the
same ratio to-dav we should have a vol
umeof over $1,000,000,000 instead of
less than $400,000,000. Now the alii
ance and man others demaid an in
creased volume of the currency, and we
are constantly met with the
argument that it is undemo
cr tic. Jefferson was always a
Democrat, and he wanted full legal ten
der notes, issued by the government,
without the intervention of banks, and if
the Democratic party of the United
Stat -s would go back to the old party of
Jefferson, Jackson and Calhouu they
could sweep the country, Bnt'they must
divest themselves of the Walt street in
nubus that holds them down. Theconu
try must have more money and less
misery. The question is one of more
vital importance than all else, and the
Democratic party cannot allow it to be
side tracked by any little side issue.

The Alliance (Tallahassee, Fla.) says:
“ The malignant attacks recently made
upon L. L. Polk, the national head of
our order has aroused tho righteous in¬
dignation of all true and loyal Alliance
men. Does the refutation of these vile
and unfounded assaults give done full and repa¬
ration for the injustice the
damage intended ? Must the whole time
and attention of Alliance be engrossed member¬ in
defending the character of its
ship from calumny and abuse? Is this
great brotherhood to become content
with simply a disproval of the charges
that are now constantly filling up the
columns of the partisan press? Are the
instigators of this unholy crusade to for
ever go unwhipped ot justice? Have the
doors of tho tribunals of justice been
closed against 'he admission of this sub
missive and ong-suffenng people? with Are
they to be falsely and foully assailed
impunity? Has Civil and criminal, re
dress for slander and libel been wiped
from the statute books of this country?
This floodtide of vituperation, this vile
practice, has been carried too far. It is
high time that a stop was put to it. An
appeal to the courts which stand open
to the humblest citizen must be resorted
to.. It will have a salutary effect in de
tering evil doers from their vile practice
n ’
Public opinion - should , ,,, frown down , and
place under the ban every newspaper that
becomes a party in such an unholy war
fare. It must be very evident to every Alii
anceman that when these damaging their officials, re
ports are put afloat against
which have no foundation in truth, it is
meant as an attack upon the unity and
integrity of the entire order, and should
be resented by them as such. So far as
the policy of this paper is concerned, we
now give notice that it will always be
found sustaining the entire order and its
officials from at'aeks from any quirter,
and it shall m ver condemn the acts of
the Alliance or its officials until there has
been a regular investigation by the proper
procedure as provided for in the consti¬
tution and laws of the order. We intend
to hold up the hands of our officials
through go .d and evil report, and wo
intend to stand by the order in its en
tirety through weal and through woe.”

NERVOUS DISEASES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in
all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldeet and most delicate individ¬
ual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are
dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an,
insufficient BUpply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of tha
body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment
u icessary to repair the wear our present mode ot living and labor impose*
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be
supplied. This recent production of the South A merican Continent has been
found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous
