Our Duty.
"There is a duty which follows
every responsibility of life." 'l itis
is a sound proposition, and will
Iiold goid, no matter what station
in life the individual may occupy.
It applies as well to the rich as
lo the poor; to the wise and the
unwise : to the Greek and to the
barbarian. That duty and responsibility
go hand in hand
though all human effort and must
be accepted as a cardinal truth.
This duty may relate to the individual,
or extend to those near
[>r far. It is always present, and
when properly understood is a
faithful and unerring guide. I'nler
ordinary circumstances, a
majority of the people will perform
a duty when made plainly
known. The individual in his iniividual
capacity can oftimes re
joncile his conscience to certain
actions when he has proven rejreant
to his duty as an individual
; hut the difficulties of such a
settlement increase when the
neglect affects the conditions and
riirhts of Others. Wlien n nnrqnn

by his own act joins with others
to promote the advancement of
?ny cause or for the attainment
jf any purpose their sense of duty
should become more enlarged
because the responsibilities have
become greater.
In all organizations there should
be a definite object to work for,
tind should oe followed by a unity
of action on the part of every
member. Just so long as there
svas unity, of purpose among the
inemoers 01 tne Farmers' Alliance
its strength and influence
was powerful. Their achievements
daggered the imaginations of its
most ardent supporters, and if all
its members had continued faithful
to their obligation the accomplishments
would have increased
in proportion to the amount of
luty performed.
The duty involved upon each
individual member of an Alliance
must include a desire to work for
the advancement and best inter
ssts of the order, and the only
possible way to make a success
if any organization is to en.jov
the confidence of each other and

standing that in things essential
inity, and in all things charity,
l'ho unity feature of the organisation
was what gave it Herculean
strength in its beginning, and
f members will restore it to its
ormer prestago it will bo a great>r
power for good than ever be'ore.
That designing men found
,heir way into the organization
or selfish purposes has been
abundantly demonstrated, but

leave it to begin a tirade ot'abus
and misrepresentation.
A strict adherence to duty wil
rid the Alliance of all factiona
strife and eliminate the detna
gogue, the traitor, and men wit I
selfish designs. It will add coui
age and strength to the Ttrgani
zation and give dignity of pow
er and strength to the Ordei
It will cryst.alize the Order int<
one solid phalanx whose rank
cannot he broken by slander o
misrepresentation and serine i
against dissensions within it
ranks. It is no longer the assualt
of its avowed enemies that threat
en its destruction, but the insid
ious attacks of disreputable mem
bers who have gone over to tin
enemy, bearing gifts, tha

These are the dreaded enemies o
the Alliance and can only be de
feated by severe restriction an(
rigid performance of duty. Whei
there is a unity of dependant
among the members, and ont
brother can depend upon th<
other members to discharge theii
duty at all times and under al
circumstances, loyalty to the Or
der becomes absolute and a de
termination to do right becomes
unswerving. Nothing indicates
the power and ultimate triumpl
of the principles of the Allianci
more forcibly than the inannei
in which the membership art
standing by their duty.
The Alliance, since its organi
zation, has (lone more to educate
the people on all economic 41103
tions than all the schools am
colleges in our country combined
Tho former has taught by objec
lessons, demonstrating in a prac
tical way tho wheros and where
fores of business transactions am
openingtip the avenues to wealth
happiness and prosperity by un
covering and exposing frauds t(
which our people had been for j
longtime cruelly subjected.
Generally, in all schools am
colleges, theories are taught
leaving the student with vagm
and ^indefinite ideas of the prac
tical duties of life, and hence tin
multitude of ignorant, helpless
improvident people who are al
ways running auer a rain now 11
search of unearned riches.
It is the duty of Alliancemei
to watch and guard thcmselvei
against the insidious endeavor!
of enemies to entrap them int<
the meshes with snares of decep
tion. Fish are caught with bai
of some description, and so it i
