ALLIANCE NEWS OF THE ORDER ITS MEMBERS Reform Press Comment and Items Interest to Alllaiiceinen Everywhere. At a resent meeting of the State Alliance, the Illinois Alliance, lished at Springfield, was with the Monitor, of St. Louis. *** has One sub-AUiance in Alabama banded because the “Alliance are wrong.” Sixteen hundred iiave disbanded because they are right. *** There is a few so called members the Alliance in North Carolina, says Progressive Farmer, who bitterly the Alliance platform. But for every of these is several hundred who are true as steel. ♦ Xf A 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¬ rectly corcerning the agency, and will adhere to the Ocala platform in all its editorial utterances. *** Ga.) 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 entitled t,o a good living—not living. a bare su 9 - tennnoe, but a good Not only the necessaries of life, but its luxuries as well. When such is not the case some 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 liance and Industrial Union of Washing ton do most heartily indorse the Ocala demands in full, Resolved, That we adopt the ritual and secret work adopted by the National Farmers* Alliauce and Industrial Union of America. * jfc jk 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. t- 4c 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.

H ■ * » * A 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?

The fact is nearly all legislation is at the present time based upon what is not found in the constitution, Herein but its implied powers. lies the trouble. 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.

A man can believe 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.” 1, . „«,h cZ CyS’ NEWS AND NOTES FOB WOMEN.
