The Business Avent is a new paper
just started by tie North Carolina State
Alliance Business Agency. It will be
devoted to the publication of matter di¬

adhere to the Ocala platform in all its
editorial utterances.

The Farmers’ Light (Harlem,
says: The subsidized press and moss
back po fticians want t<> know why the
Alliance does not talk more farming and
less politics. The reason is very appa¬
rent. What is the use of talking farming
when it costa ten cents to raise cotton,
and “the power of money to oppress”
takes it from them at seven cents.
The Alliance Gazette (Hutchinson,
Kan.) believes it firmly, as wituess: “We
uncompromisingly adhere to works the opinion
that a man or a woman who twelve
hours a day for six days in the week is

thing is wrong, and the people should
know no rest till the wrong is righted.
The following resolutions were adopted
bv the State Alliance of Washington at
its recent organization. Thus another
State has fallen into line under the
nationid banner of the order:
Resolved, That the State Farmers’ Al

demands in full,
Resolved, That we adopt the ritual
and secret work adopted by the National
Farmers* Alliauce and Industrial Union
of America.

The Caucasian (Clintou, N. C.) says:
“When the farmers and other wealth
producers began prices to complain products of the low
and falling of the of their
iabor and to suspect that it was due to a
contracted currency, the money power
through i-ls subsidized papers began and
has since been repeating the statement
that the law of supply and demand alone
controlled prices. The time was when
the farmer would swallow this, but now
he is thinking for himself and knows that
the law of supply and demand regulates
prices only when controlled the volume of money
m circulation is by the same
law. ’

The Order in Colorado is doing well,
especially when the somewhat scattered
condition of the people is considered.
Farming is not conducted in this state
as in many others, which makes organi¬
zation much more difficult. In spite of
this the Alliance has steadily increased
iu members and grown in favor. It 3
state cfliceis have been efficient and have
receivid excellent support from the re¬
form papers, of which there are a number
in the state. There is hardly a state in
the Union that could receive any more
benefit from the final triumph of Alliance
principles than Colorado.

The Cotton Plant, (Orangeburg, S. C.)
says: “Yfliy should not the farmer take
a hand in politics? Stop and think about
this and then ask who it is that would
keep him cut of politics? In nine cases
out of ten it is ihe class of people who
hitherto have been most active in politics
and who have enjoyed a monopoly of the
business so long that they begin to look
upon it ae (heir special property. Be
easy, gentlemen, and if you can’t be easy,
be as easy as you own—the farmer is in
politics, and be is in it to stay. All the

In discussing the constitutionality of
the sub treasury plan an opposition paper
manes use oi tno ionowmg extraordinary
legal statement:
First, we regard it as unconstitutional,
because the constitution nowhere author¬
izes such a thing. Now just here 't is
proper to state that some have insisted
'hat we should point out that part of the
C' nstitution that the scheme comes in
conflict with. We beg to remind such,
that n thing doem’t require to be forbid
den by the Federal constitution in order
t" be unconstitutional; it is only re¬
quired that it can not be found in the
constitution.
Commenting on this the National
Economist says: If this bo true nine
u nths ot tne taws on me statute dooks
are void. Aro rivers and-harbors men¬
tioned in the constitution? Are subsidies
to rdlroads and steamships found? Docs
it say anything civilians, about the Nicaragua
Canal, pensions to national ex¬
positions, silver, irrigation, naiional geological banks, the purchase
of survey, or
expeditions to the north pole? Where
in this sacred in-trument is found men¬
tion of the force bill, the d< nmnetiz t’nn

money to railroads and lairs? The fact is
nearly all legislation is at the present
time based upon what is not found in the

BE A MAN.
F rom the Pi ogrost-ive Farmer.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the
Alliance is n lack of courage. Not so
much of physical coinage as moral cour¬
age. Have courage to do right Be a
man. If you are not satisfied that the
Alliance is a good thing, that the Ocala
platform is right, withdraw from the or¬
ganization at once. If you are satisfied
that it is right, defend it, stand by your
leaders and your reform papers. Be a
man, be a woman. Woik for its success,

false doctrines so long that be can see

a bad thing is right so long that he be¬
comes thoroughly convinced that .it is
right. Hence the world is worse off for
such men having lived in it. Don’t
measure the situation by what any man
may say. Think it out for yourself. If
your financial condition is all that it
ought to be, if you are getting good
prims for your labor as a farmer, don’t
complain. But if you are not, then kick
and howl until you get what you ought
to have.
GROWING IN FAVOR.
The election of United States Senators
by a diiect vote of the people, as de¬
manded in the Ocala platform, is grow¬
ing in favor daily, the latest convert to
that theory being AVashington Ex-Governor Luce, of
Michigan. The Post says:
“Ex-Governor Luce, of Michigan, has
come out as an advocate of the nomina¬
tion by the republican state convention
of the republican candidate for the
United States senatorship soon to become
vacant. This action is not quite in the
line of the precedent his established for the by Illinois Gen¬
eral Palmer in canvass
senatorship, but it has a similar motive;
and that is to bring the influence of the
people to bear more directly than is now
the c.ise in the choice of candidates foi
the highest legislative position in the
land. Gov. Luce’s suggestion, like Gen.
Palmer’s action, is an evidence of the
growing tendency to assimilate our po¬
litical methods to those of a simpler
Democracy than that which the framers
of the this government contemplated, for
mode as well as the history of its
construction shows clearly enough that
the object in view was not only to estab¬
lish a government by the people, but also
to guard against its misuse by them. By
the Constitution of the United States
the selection of United States Senators
was not left to the people at large, but
was made a privilege of the several State
legislatures. The indications are that
the intention of the makers of the con¬
stitution was to separate the creation
of the conservative body, which was to
have a reconsideration and veto power
over the legislation of the chamber di¬
rectly chosen by and representative direct control of
the popular will from the
of the people. But the trend of our po¬
litical development in later years has
been in a contrary direction, and the
popular will, which the fathers in a
measure distrusted, shows a tendency to It
become in all cases the chief arbiter.
is very possible that a close observer ol
current events and of the political pro¬ al'
gress of our time would not be at
surprised if United States Senators came
by and by to be elected by the people oi
,a State at large, and if even tLe Presi¬
dent of the United States should be
chosen, as the late Senator Morton, oi
Indiana, always held he ought to the be, bj
the direct vote of the people of na¬
tion.”
