ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT.
,/. F. NFSB IT FAl tor.
1 want to say to tho reporters
for the different Sub-Alliances,
that it is necessary tor them to
have their reports in on Saturday
to have them published the following
week.
Send reports ot the meetings
of your Alliances and let the people
know what we are doing, and
in the first place don't forget or
neglect to attend the meetings
of your Subs.
Some people will tell you that
the Alliance is a dead note, but I
tell you there is no living organization
that is doing more valuable
work than the Alliance i< do
in_ lor ine larmers wnoare members
of I he order, to say nothing1
of those farmers who are not
members and the bread winners
of every calling in life.
Now we do not want you to
spend unnecessary time in attending
meetings of your Alliance,
but 1 can say with a great many
others that I never attended a
meeting of the Alliance hut which
benefited me in some way.
Some will say there is no business
calling us together, now let
us not forget the social feature of
our order, and the obligation

principals of our noble order.

These woids had reference to the
church. The church is composed
of individuals, and so is the Alliance.
So 1 believe 1 hat these

Yes, the Alliance is the great
i light-house through which the
I brilliant rays of its glaring light
; must shine over the stormy sea of
, a troubled nation. And we believe
I that any Alliance that is satislied

shine m its own subordinate body

! Always remembering that our
Grand Order is founded upon the
I principle of Truth, Kipiitv and
j.Juctiee, and that a strict adherence
to these principles will in
crease our usefulness as members
of this order and as citizens of this
government. Remembering also
whereas the declaration of dej
pendence is a basis for a Republican
lorm of government that

ual, states, "That all men are
j created equal. That they are endowed
with ceitain inalienable
rights, that among those are life,
liberty and the pursuit ot happiness."?

In Lonsiana farmers art' grow1

'scale by adopting tho following
j policy : In tlie fall of the year
'rustproof oats are sown, which

'the oats are destroyed a crop ot

they will greedily devour ail ?>1

Dr. W. C. Stubbs, director of
the experiment station, regards
the sweet potato and Spanish
peanuts as being perhaps the
most profitabl feed that can be
grown. The authority already
quoted savs in this connection :
"By the addition of an alfalfa
patch, which is ready for the hogs
in early winter it sown in October,
we can carry hogs the whole
year through upon fresh field?
and pastures new, all of which
will be both nutritious and fatI
tening, and in this way hog mis
ing can be carried on in the state
of Louisiana very successfully.
It is estimated that farmers are
by this process raising hogs at a
j net cost of less than halt a cent a
, pound."

i Kansas City, Mo.. Feb. 24, 1807
This ) -> the condition which
; confronts nearly every man who
! launches out in some kind of
1 legitimate business in the hope
of making a living tor himself
and family, lie is immediately
confronted by the problem "how
can ho successfully compete
against the mighty unless he incorporates
himself with them."
In Chicago, the small merchants,
who make their living
j through the medium of some
! mercantile business like hardware,
queensware, drugs, jewelry,
etc., and are finding that with a
fixed capital and live-long experience
are just sailing into
bankruptcy, have begun a war on
the big department stores of that
city and have declared that their
families must not patronize such
stores and that every thing possi
ble must be done to protect their
own lines of business from the infringements
of big Department
houses. Every effort, so far directed
against such institutions has
proven futile; as the deuling
public does not stand by the
small firms in the struggle for
existence. The public know that
the spirit of the big department
store is fast working havoc in the
employmet of competent labor
and the renting of small store
I rooms; but the temptations to
' gain a nickle by a purchase in too
, great to be resisted, hence they
wend their way to the large store
and thus help by every purchase
; to freeze out their smaller
brethren. Literally the tug store
; says to little one "sell out your
stock, give up your store room
; and come be a clerk behind one
of our counters; or we will drive
you into bankruptcy."
Now. what does this condition
of affairs signify? It signifies,
1 first that men are fast losing their
independence, as they cannot run
a business of their own on a
small capital; but must clerk for
some one who has an organized
store; ami secondly that those
\\ ho can and have erected small
store rooms must fitwl vnnunee
stareing them in the lace. It also
signifies more chea ? girl labor
and heads of families out of employment.
The female labor
must ultimately lea 1 to fewer
marriage unions and less domestic
qualifications. The ambitious and
worthy father must ho compelled
to see his daughter go to work as
a stenographer and sales lady because
ho is incompetent to earn a
ii\ing to suport his family. Then
there is another way in which
these large corporations and department
stores causes men to
!< their in lividuality and independence
which is far more dis.
nstrous than that just mentioned.
I nder a constant competitive
system (in labor) men are held
io their positions by a mere straw,
and are naturally made servile
thereby. They are naturally led
to feel that they must toady to
the favor of their employers or

merit J they must necessarily restrain
their opposition to the
system of concentration and department.
houses, else they are
likely to become decapitated. It
is the concentration system of
! combine or bust that causes this
competition labor system and
causes met) to become slaves
where they might be free.
Wherever we see consolidation
and concentration, we see compe
tition. correspondingly abolished,
and where competition is abolished
in trade, it is augmented
in the lield of labor. This latter
cause is immediately f?*lt by the
farmer, for a competitive labor
system means faling prices and
hard times. But the remedy
does not rest in the idea of the i
| Chicago merchants, who want to
boycott the large department
stores. It rests in the co-operative
system of destroying private
| gain an 1 substituting public
wealth and public ownership
This is the only real solution to
the question !
Finl .TIiiim'} .
The constant cry that liat i
money is not good money is al- j
ready refunded by the use of
' gold and silver us money. These i
| metals, with fifty years of sup;
ply on hand would have very lit- !
I tie value if they were not used as
! money in any part of the world.
I Law, or custom having the force
! of law, makes gold and silver
m ney when stamped by the government
for the purpose of designation.
We contend that it a
law were passed making paper or ;
any materi il designated by the!
stamp of the government a full
legal tender for all debts, public
and private, it would be as good
money for all purposes for
which money is used as either
gold or silver. We might cite
many instances nd make a long
and elaborate cgument in favor
of our contention, but it would
be ridiculed by all who do not
understand the science of money.
This question is of paramount
importance and is certainly worth
the experiment which would cost
the government nothing except
engraving and printing the paper.
If Congres should pass a law
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue a small amount
ot strictly fiat paper without any j
promise of redemption, and make
such paper money receivable for
taxes and all government dues;
and a legal tender in the pay-1
ment of all debts, it would bo
easy to determine whether the
people would take it at par an
money. If they should do so and '
it should be sought for in the!
same manner that gold is coined 1
| now sought tor hy persons who
desire to use it to pay debts and '
! government dues, it would dem- |
j onstrate that the material upon!
i which money is stamped for'
j designation is not the essential i
! thing. It would verify Aristotle's
I definition of money when he declared
that "money is a creation
: of law.'' The verification of this,
'definition would be of the utmost
value to pivilization, and
this government can well afford
to make the experiment.?Vigilant
