I>k ' n 35KKTK iikn:? I congratulate ] you upon tire unity of the Alliance, on ! the Legislative demands of the order, i ari l up .n the unanimous endorsement I ? saiu demands by all labor organize tiohs in the United States. The r^-pre- i ser.tatives of farmers. artizans j and laborers, representing ali division of organized industry, (in town or coun- S try) assembled in a National Congress' at >t. Louis in- February last, and en dorsed our financial, transportation, and j other reform measure s. We aiso con gratulate you upon the success of our efforts t o&ctire Congressmen in sym pathy w ith our dcniauds&V?he whole | p wtr of monopoly is aroused at our success, and are comb.ped against us in j a vital struggle. By unity and the P6\v,*r of mtiut*ers (which h irres'istable tnSijrce govern nu ;tj we can success fully repel their aggression. The mon ey chancers, aideu by every device con ceivable, are trying to divide us an.l de stroy our unity. In our ."state the plun derers of the industrial classes have ?g j nored the true p.*it;ciphs of demcera r*. ; and have threatenened to drive us out to. the democratic party, unle s we re I pudiate our legislative demands, which ! are basKi upon principles advocated l>y ? Jefffcr^cn. Jackson and Calhoun. Hut ; their efforts are fruitless, our princi p!es are deniiot nt c. and we willalwa; ~ i?e found consistently advocating such prineipies, regardless of i ar'y lash. or^ political bosses. I'arty fealty is due to j party principles, ' but not to party 'bosses. Four years have passed sinc? ? our demands were formulated a*, st. Louis. The opponents of these de mands. with all the legal, and p< Ltica1 ?talent their itlgotten mwr.ey conid buy, ; have utterly failed to convince the pro jdm-ers of We aitli that their demands are unjust, impractical, or nndemoi rat ic. The enemies of industria organi zations will leave "w> stone un- mimt iu their efforts (in tlic campaign o? ; ltf.ri.) t r divide and de-trm the Farm ers' Alliance, and Iheieby perpertuati their control of poiitha! par ie> through ? which they wiii continue to control tfte legislation of State and National gov ernments. The activity and z?alui?an i tested by. representatives of the indus trial dasses in the present Congress, has struck terror into the ranks ol shy ; locks and monopolists. A not I* r ac ' cession of such congressional r<-piesei. i tjtives would reiegate to private life i plutocratic members, and give ns a | government by the j?eople, and lor the jjeople. Instead ot a governir.cn t con trolled by the moue\ ]>ower in tavor of ' centralized capital, produce gamblers, | trane-portatiou eompai>h*s. protected fn ' dust ries and la; id sharks Already we hear tfte <>id familiar sonu tnatlK?s greeted us in every pres'd "Utial cair. paign sii.ee l>iS2.

A platform tliat ignores 1 his i demand and a candidate that opposes it j could not expect the uppr? yal or sup port of Alliancemen. True democracy t is a government of the people, by the s pe??j 1-*. Not a govern ue nt of the p"o ple by party bosses, to secure office to those who will prtV these bosses for i party service.

We I hiive reached a perit?d in our existence, 'as an or^ani/ati >11, that might bi j termed crUiral.

Kach individual meisi 1 1-er should recognize tliat he has a duty I to perform. Tnat sm. cess only comes j to them that wi rk for it. The ofliepfs j have their duti* s assign e<l them. The duties of private niemlx?rs are equally as necessary to be j-erfonned. What I general ever gained a victory without j the faithful performance of duty by j the private s iu the ranks ? Kvery mem | tier must "hoe his own iow" if we would reij p a harvest worthy of the ; purposes of the founders of the Farm J.ers' Alliance.

On the other hand there are men in full sympathy with the object of our order who are melligibie to mem bership. We should avail ourselves ot their services in official positions as reaiTtty m we woiil t tli t of our own meiiilie^rT he organization does not propose to antagonize any class of o??r i c'ohfeas wi?o are eiiginre*! in legitimate busmen.

In politics the Alliance is non- parti san. The friends of the plutocrats have tried hartl to force us into parti sanship by char^inij our Sonthern mirtnliers with a want of fealty to the ?l5emocratic party, and our Western memlters with aw ant of fealty to tne j Republican party. As an organization we owe no fealty .to any political party. As individuals pur fealty to paFfy is rot changed by our connection with the Alliance.
