ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. ./. F. N1SBJCT /uHtor. The work of tlie Alliance is stil! going on although it may seem t( us that there is little or nothing doing, aiul our opponents sa> the Alliance is a dead note, tha it is a thing of the past. Now lei us call to mind that a few things we whipped the jute trust and w< have eflectually killed the tit trust so that they can he hough now cheaper than ever before and a great many <?1 our demand: have lorced themselves upon tin public mind and are being enact ed into law. We are holding prices dowi oil a great many we have est ah lished the State exchange with ; capital stock sutlieient to give u a financial rating in the comtner cial worhl so that we can purelnu our fertilizers cheaper than ever Now my, hrethern, just stop am think over these things l'orawhih and see if you do not come to tin conclusion that it is to our inter est to do all in our power to huih up t he Alliance ? Then think of the obligation: we have taken upon us, and oui declaration of principles. Tlies< are still binding even if you hav< lived out of the Alliance, l'leasi ask yourself the q nest ion, wha am I doing for the Alliance? An 1 doing all 1 can Kxperience has taught us tha regular meet i tics every two week is better than monthly meeting because the oftenor we meet tin more interesting the meeting: become. IUKITY. What do the swindling gold itcs mean by "parity ?" Do thej mean that they have corruptei one nation al'ter another and in duoed their rulers to buy goh until they have advanced thai commodity above the commodity silver, or any other material on ot which money is manufactured and made it impossbie for am other money metal to be wortl as much as gold ; and that thei have thereby made parity impos sible under existing laws, am that therefore all money is di< honest but jrold ( We say to tli< gold kings here and now (ha parity between different kind of money has nothing to do will t he silver quest ion or an\ othe question pertaining to mom v Those who are opposed to tin diabolical scheme ol the goldite: to destroy civilization and mak? prosperity impossible by perpet ual contract ion, t illing prices o property and service, mav a well understand that tlie hones ntasse> who have been robbed be lieve that I j grains ol pure ^il ver or 11J y grains ol standan silver stamped by tin* govern inent is an honest dollar, am that -"> I'> grains of -landan gold. whieh lias been doubled ii value by the destruction ol -ilvt and the pooling operations o gold manipulators. is a dMione* dollar. The sold dollar lia< beet the instrnmenl win Tebj tons o thousrnds of millions of hard earned wealth has bene trans forced from the owners to tin conspirators ; it is the instmnien! by which all contracts have beer * changed and are bein^ dails changed ; it is the instrument by I which the burden ol the debtor I is daily increased ; it is the in- ; strument by which the goods on I ' the shelf of the merchant are < daiiy depreciated; it is the in- : strument by which the business ! " man loses his customers to pur ] chase or to pay ; it is the instru- J ment whereby the masses have I been impoverished and the class- < es have been enriched. We denounce the gold dollar I j land every man who advocates it las dishonest and unjust. It has i] no parity with anything but ras I 1 Reality. Its purchasing power has ' 1 been doubled and is increasing I' ' I ? . I i daily. Its equality with sin and 1 not with labor or property. We demand that I I'd' grains of standlard silver shall remain a dollar] whet, stamped by the government. The silver dollar is honest because it has maintained parity with human labor, with property, and ' with everything that contributes to t lie hanniness ol mankind Its! parity with the fraudulent ?r<?l*l' dollar is entirely immaterial. < >111 ^ | the contrary, wo are opposed to L I any such parity. Parity with the i present sold dollar means dispari tv with labor and property. The 1 i single standard gold dollar wit In j out the equal use of silver is the thief of labor and the oppressorof 'mankind. We want nothing in i parity with it. It has no parity 1 with it. It has no parity with j anything but itself and fraud and 1 i corruption. s' We must have more monev or l s perish. \\ hen and how did the '! gold conspirators obtain the right s to buy up the commodity gold, reject all other material out of which money is made, compel all j nations to compete for the com i modity gold, and thereby double its value ? We are aware that the ' goldites are loading every nation ^ j on earth with gold obligations. Poor Austria has added live hun 1 1 1 .-Ml! - \ '1 * . ureu minions to nor silver neut in ' converting her obligations into ' gold, and proposes to add another I hundred million to that inlolera-I * hie load. The oflicials of Japan ' ( have been bought to compel that II country to buy gold and lose its, ' prosperity. There can be no| doubt that the couspirators will' ill ^enhance the price ot gold and increase i(s disparity with every-j thing honest. We lirst heard of a j 1 100 cent dollar, a To cent dollar, aj - ,:\ .. < .. . ? i ii ? ' <>.> i i-n i it m i.i i, < ??i< -rem ii?i i ;i r. 'land now they propose in tlie next 1 campaign to enhance the price of _')M and increase its disparity with everything else until they will tell ti? that we 11111xt wait until the parity come, and oujdit not to come, he lore we can have relict' ' from their infamous laws that daily enhance the value of money ' and depress the wanes ol lahor and the value of property, and therdiv enslave the masses. 1' . An honest dollar will maintain parity het ween lahor and property j and money, and no oilier dollar is honest and no man who advocates j any other kind of dollar is an j honest man. No matter how low | the conspirators may he ahle to hear down the gold price of silver. if they make it worth only live cents an once, so much thoi worse !<>r tlion. We know and ; tin- country knows that every dol | lar containing 1124 grains of standard silver, stamped hy the ' government, is an honest dollar and a IUO cent dollar, it always i' SILVER WILL CONTROL. OLD DEMOCRATS WILL NOT RETURN. L'hey Hud Hoped That the Tariff Agitation Would Tuke the Pluee of the Financial Campaign ?Ohio and Kentucky Will Listen to No Compromise as to Silver, and the Cold Men Must Co to the Republicans. As the time for the holding of conventions approaches, the dilli'llltics in thp w it v rf I ipmnira t ir? lias been and always will be. We know that by fraud, corruption, md the destruction of silver, they ^ have made the gold dollar a 200:ent dollar in purchasing power, md they will probably make it a ^ 250 cent dollar in purchasing power before the next election. If they do, so much the worse for them. The advocates of such a lollar are 100 per cent, out of parity with honest labor and property; and if they put it 1">0 percent, out of parity,their rascal-1 ity will be more apparent. But I nothing that they can do will j 'hange the honest silver dollar1 established by the fathers or make i it less than a 100 cent dollar.? [fix. Amendments to Tariff Bill. Senator Stewart introduced the following amendment to the tariff hill : That there shall be at all times a reserve fund in the treasury amounting to the sum of fiIty millions of dollars. Whenever the available balance in the treasury exceeds the sum of fifty millions of dollars it shall be the duty of Secretary of the Treasury to invest the surplus above such sums in I'nited States bonds, and whenever the available cash balance in the treasury shall bo less than the sum of tilt}' millions of dollars it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue I'nited States legal tender non interest bearing treasury notes to make up the deficiency of titty millions of dollars. Such notes shall be redeemable out of the first surplus moneys in the treasury above such sum of fifty millions of dollars. In case insufficient coin to meet the coin obligations of the 1'nited States shall come into the treasury through the ordinary sources of revenue it shall be tho i duty of the Secretary of the treasury to exchange tho silver certificates paid into the treasury for the coin which is in the treasury for the redemption of such certificates, and with the coin paid in and obtained through the conversion of silver certificates tin; coin obligations of the Tinted States shall be discharged, and it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the ( treasury to coin sufficient ot the silver bullion purchased under the law of duly 11, 1800, to supply' an mueieneies mat may occur in the supply of coin under the lore ^ going provisions to meet and dis- | charge all coin obligations pre-1 sented. Knack of Onion-growing. Kroin Merhun's M intlily Those who grow onions in beds in amateur gardens must have noted that when a few seeds get scattered on a patch of grtnind that has been tramped hard and solid the result is a crop of onions > much larger and liner than those, grown in the looser roil devoted to the onion lied proper. This would certainly indicate that well compacted soil i> preferable for the greatest success in onion ? ulture. In many part* ol America, however, the onion is permitted to have two seasons lor its lull development. Thev sue uown j eomparatively late in the spring! ami mature by midsummer, itiak ! ing bulbs about the size ol large j marbles, wbieh are known as onion sets. These are then replanted the following spring and ' grow to a large si/?? by mid-sum 1 mer. when they again mature.1' Hut the faet that we have noted in relation to eompaet soil ought to be as true of the onion sets as of the plant which grows in a single season to its maturity. inioii of the gold wing of tlie Democratic party with the main >ody for the fall campaigns grow plainer and plainer. The subject s much discussed by the politicians. It was hoped by the cold Democrats at one time that the Ditigley bill would for the time supersede the silver question, but it lias failed to do so. The silver Democrats oppose the bill, but at die same time refuse to abate any >f their fervor for silver. Silver is still loved by their party hearts, tnd the issue altogether lovely. Campaign matters are well advanced in < >hio. The silver Democrats there have thrown down the gage of battle. The party platform is to declare for free silver and for nothing else. The issue, therefore,will be even more sharply drawn than it was last year. John R. McLean will direct the light, and in case of success will be rewarded with the seat in the Senate now occupied by Mr. Ha una. Rut success must be achieved without the aid of men like Mr. Hrice and Mr. Johnson. They can no more support free silver this year than last,and Especially as the bringing forward of the issue again this year is a move in the play ot making it the dominant issue of the party for next year and for 1!)00. A similar situation exists in Kentucky. The Rryan men there will listen to no compromise as tu silver. The gold Democrats must surrender absolutely or go over again to the Republicans. The Democratic state convention will declare for silver. State issues will also be subordinated. Mr. McLean and Mr. Blackburn will have comparatively easy sailing so far as the convention aud the re-electing of candidates are concerned. Beth have been silver men from the start, and have gathered their followers about them on that issue. The question of absorbing interest with the Democratic leaders in Virginia is what action the state convention, to be hold thin summer for the nomination of governor and other state oflicers, shall take with reference to the currency plank of the Chicago platform. The trend of sentiment is undoubtedly toward an uncompromising indorsement of the position taken by the national convention in declaring for the restoration of the coinage of silver at Id to I. Senator Daniel is an uncompromising free silver man, and is known to be in favor of pushing the coinage fight. His colleague, Senator Martin, holds the same view. Tito gold l>emocratK declare that they will holt the convention before thev will support fuen put up on a silver platform. The hulk of the holders are in favor of affirming the utterances of the national platform, and hold that to weaken would not onlv hurt the cause of bimetallism, hut cost the partv the loss of more votes than would ho lost by the threatened split.
