Fanner's Voice,
The Third Party.
Editor Fabhkbs' Alliance: Under
" various names in different parts of the
country, and sometimes in the same
state, economic associations huve been
formed for the purpose of bettering
the condition of their members. These
associations hare progressed so fir as to
generally r.gree upon a formulated plat
form of principles, based upon economic
abuses and grievances, demanding re
forms in political policy, and change of
' many laws. There Is a wonderful agree
ment among all the organizations cf the
reforms needed, and a uniform effort in
the same direction, to cure evils and
achieve needed results. These are the
foundations of the so-called third party,
which is naturally antagonistic to both
republicans and democrats. At Cincin
nati the new party was christened "The
People's Party," while there was no
change of principle from the platform
heretofore adopted at St. Louis, in 1880,
and at Oeala, Florida, in 1800.
The People's Party is based upon the
economic reforms of the various organi-
rations, The Farmers' Alliance, both
norlh and south, The Farmers' Mutual
Benefit Association, The Patrons of
Husbandry, The Knights of Labor, The
Federations of Labor, and all labor or
ganizations of the country. Yet the
Federations of Labor and several other
labor org anizations have taken no part
in the political movement confining their
organization to work for beneficial labor
movements alone. Yet the object of all
is the smie, to benefit the condition of
labor, and elevate laboring men, social
ly and morally.
The first and leadbg reform demanded
by the people's platform is economic

country. What is money? Money is
the measure of labor. All value is the
product of labor. The mineral in its
native mine, the stone in the quarry,
has value only when labor takes it out
of its native condition and converts it to
use. The same is true of timber in the
native forest, and the fruit of the soil.
One maa's labor is exchanged for the
labor of another man. - The value of
that labor the measure of the exchange
is money. This measure may be gold,
silver or any other metal. In modern
times it has been found convenient and
expedient stamp paper of certain values
as well as metals. Hence we have in
use as money, or measures of labjr val
ues, gold, silver, nickel, copper and pa
per, so that every man who labors can
take a certificate for his labor in one of
these shapes of money, whenever he
tarns the product of his labor into the
common stock of industrial production.
The old theory of political economy,
that the product of labor called capital
should step in and dominate over labor,
be the master of all industries, has grown
up into a great and far reaching system
of domination of great power that
reaches into all commerce and has be
come a great political fabric covering
the policy of all nations. It has led to
aggrandizement of land, the debasement
of labor and often its impoverishment.
It has created class distinctions, heredi
tary laws, giving Utiles and wealth in
succession to privileged class. It has
leased out the functions of government
in a fictitious system cf Corporations
with quasi publio powers. It has made
labor a chattel subject to these corpora
tion powers and privileges. Money 1b
made the j ower to rule the people when
it should be only their instrument and
servant. This money power controls
the money in circulation and that all
money shall be based upon the redeem
ing power of gold. Here is the great
fallacy of the age. It grew out of the
old usage that corporation banks might
issue paper money in their own name
provided they would keep a certain pro
portionate amount ofgold and silver coin
as a redemption fund. This precaution
was found necessary to insure the pub
lic against loss, and even this precaution
entailed great loss upon the publio in
failures under the state laws preceding
the establishment of the legal tender or
greenback systen. But the government
has unli-nited credit, and no man ever
lost a dollar in legal tenders issued by
the government. There is no necessity
for a redemption fund like the old irre
sponsible system of "wild cat" mnnnt.
Every species of propertv in the coun
try is subject to taxation, under just
laws, to protect all the money of every
description ever issued or which maybe
ever issued by the ffovernment.
tree coinage of silver is a part of the
money system of the country demanded
by the people's party. It has been
found that gold is too limited in amount
for international uses. It has been es
timated that demonetization of silver by
ths leading nations of the world depre
ciated all property values forty-three
percent. We know that values of all
property was greatly decreased since
that time 18711874, and consequently
as property and not gold represents the
producing power of labor, therefore the
value of labor was likewise equally de
preciated. Hence the natural demand
for free coinage of silver. By making
gold the only money standard, all mon
ey securities were made very valuable,
and commanded a great premium.
It is also demanded that the act under
which national banks are chartered
shall be repealed, and that the govern
ment shall issue in their own Fame all
paper money; and thereby get rid
wholly of an interest bearing govern
ment debt, and that with gold and silver
legal, tenders shall be issued to the
amount r of fifty dollars per capita,
which is considered sufficient to do the
business of the country and be free from
the great burden on the people of usuri
ous interest. That the government
shall see that the people shall have their
money as needed at a low rate of inter
est and be placed beyond the control of
the absorbing powers of capitalists.
The corporation powers of the trans
portation system must be curtailed.
The government must provide reason
abSaand easy transportation facilities
for the people The common carrier
system must be con. rolled or owned by
the government and be made feasible
like the post mail system. It must be
furnished to tha people at cost like the
mail, and the country be made free from
the endless absorbing extortions of the
railroads and electric systems.
The great mineral fields belong to the
government by rglit of public domain,
and rtnist he worked also for the inter
est of the people. Corporations and in
dividuals should be made to disgorge
their questionable titles to such neces
sary and useful propettics. The whole
system of corporate powers should be
abolished and swept from the statute
laws of the country. Asa corporation
has no soul, it should be allowed to have
no standing, and be banished out of ex
istence. A large part of the suffering
and labor degradation of the world is
due to the system of corporation fictions
recognized as lawful. Men of great
greed commit atrocious extortions be
hind corporations they have created,
and the rovernment lends them its sanc
tion. The government has no moral
right to farm out any of its functions
and duties to the people. There is a
strong demand that all the trusts im
posed in government shall be justly and
impartially administered for the sole
benefit anil use of the people. It is their
right to be protected from every gov
ernment abuse and be secured in the
fullest enjoyment of every privilege of
society, i he age his gone oy wnen
feudal lords or any privileged class can
rule at will and pleasure ever the rest
or any part of the subjects of the realm.
And any appropriate abuses must be
speedily rectified.
The People's Party has a glorious mis
sion, to correct evil usages and laws,
and to ameliorate as far as possible the
condition of a suffering people by ele
vating labor to its right position and
nower in Government. It is a it
God given mission that knows no selfish
end or aim. As the safety and perma-
nancy of the Republic is virtually at
stake, so every cili.en rich and poor
alike, is interested in the success of the
establishment of the principles of the
party, and every voter is earnestly ap
pealed to. to assist in the rescue of the
government from the hands of its ene
mies. JN.iLCKEK.
Cardinal Manning and the Labor and
Money Question.
Editor Farmers' Alliance: The
following is an extract from an article
by that grand and noble man Cardinal
Manning:
'Heretofore the poor have accented
their lot as if it was the will of God.
They thought there was no seat for them
at the banquet of life. But of late these
who mingle with them have noticed a
portentious change. The political econ
omist ha$ been among them. They have
found that some have more seats than
they can use and that there are enough
seats for all. The effect has been start
ling. Lazarus is no longer lying at the
door steps begging for crumbs, but is
standing erect on the street coiner gest
iculating, and his burning words are
sinking deep into the hearts of a crowd
of hungry looking men."
Such noble words from such a noble
man should at least be given a few
thoughts by every one that reads them.
Do you know that the persons whom
Cardinal Manning speaks of as political
economists are the fame Identical per
sons that the subsidized press of Amer
ica calls demagogues, blatherskites, ca
lamity-howlers, vagabonds, etc., ad
nauseuml Reader, if you do not I ask
you in the name of Liberty, in the name
of humanity, in the name of your chil
dren and your children's children, to
arouse from your sleep and assist those
whom His Holiness justly and properly
speaks of as political economists. Who
can be so blind that they cannot see
that he who works least gets mos, and
he who works most gets the least r See
the clothes that we of the west buy.
Although they are not extra fine they
cost us a large price; but those who
work la the factories and make them
are in just as poor condition as we are.
Notice the prices we hove to pay for
bread and meat. Yet tha farmers who
raise the corn, wheat, beef and pork are
in just as bad condition as we. They
are losing their farms by the thousands.
I am one that lost mine. The merchants
are being closed out over the country by
the hundreds. All this in the midst of
plenty.
Now on the other hand, see the mil
lions of wealth piling up in the hands of
the few men who subsidize the press and
write and talk about "honest money,"
"sound, healths basis," "stable basis''
Oh it makes me sick, and dear reader if
you will study tha money question as I
have you can plainly see that the mo
nopolists plan is to control money and (here
by control everything monty mil buy. Do
you not know that the American people
win noi put up wnn tne injustice that
has beeu practiced much lontrer Do
you not know that all the spirit of jus

of 1770 is still with us. Knowing thivt

fit might be here mentioned that most
foreigners come here seeking liberty

Knowing these things are you going
to be led around by the power that op
press you and used ts a tool o destroy
yourselves? All I ask of you is to think
for yourself and not let some one else
who is your enemy do tho thinking for
you. I do not ask you to believe me,
but l e id the history of money legislation
in this country. I find in reading the
history of all civilized countries that
when there was a contraction in money
that thsre were all kinds of disturbances
objectionable to society. Invariably
this has been the case. Do not be de
ceived by those who would make you
believe that the quality of monev deter
mines its value. For indeed it matters
not what money is made of so it bears
the legal tender of this government: it
is good just as long as this government
stands. When gold goes from this coun
try it does not go as money but goes as
bullion. These wise "honest money"
fellows tolls us we nwt, have money
vith intrinsic value. Tiny know bet
ter. W here ii the intrinsic value in these
same fellows' national bank notes? Just
think of it. To base monev unnn
any single commodity or collection of
commodities is only one of their wavs

many and millions to the few. The

equality to all and rapid advancement

Repectfullv,
o D. Clem. Deavkr.
P. S. It must not be understood thit
I mean all commodities in all classes are
cheap. I mean that the first price from
the producers is low. But these sain 3
"ho neat money" fellows have by conibi
nations and trusts managed to extort
high prices for many of the necessaries
of lite from ine consumers. Asaamus
ustration the Standard Oil Company
have entire control of ail the oil fields in
the world. They get a high price for
the oil, but the men who produce tne oa
jibe men who work for them) get a very
low price. Remember that oil was
created in the land for the use of man.
The condition of the coal miners is too
well known to coument upon, but the
coal trust extorts a high price from m
for coal. I be bunker, bona holder,
stock broker, usuer, money king, grain
king, meat king, cotton king, railroad
king and land king (land is the aim in the
end) are the same identical persons.
They are the lads I have referred to as
the honest(?) money fellows.

A Pathetic Letter.
Dear Aunt Cnaritie; I honr that.
your paper the Vidette is published
to tell people how to save their homes,
l r i i
anu i uo wisn you would tell us how
to get ours back. It was such a pretty
homo, and we all loved it so much,
and mamma grieves about it all the
time, and often cries because we had
to give it up and live in this old rent
ed house.
Papa is a farmer .and wnrtAil lmr.1
to pay his debts, but could not, so he
mortgaged our home, and thought he
could make money enough to pay it
up, and we all staid at home and
woiked hard, and did not even go to
cnurcn on Sundays. I was kept home
from school to help work, but still he
could not pay up. So one day papa
came home looking pale like he was
ever so sick, and told mamma that
the man who had the mortgage on the
place was going to take it from us,
and we would have to move. Oh!
Aunt Charitie, it you had seen us that
day you would have thought some of
our family were dead, we were all so
grieved at the thought of losing all
our work on our pretty home. We
moved and papa is hired to a man and
works away from home, and mamma
is sick nearly all the time and says
she has no heart to work. We still do
not attend church or' school because
we have no good clothes to wear out
in company.
Mama used to play on the piano, but
die is not able to own one now, and
all of her music books are piled up in
one corner of the room, and are right
dusty, she does not even sing now. I
wish you could see her and say a few
cheering words to her, for she needs
comforting. I am only a little girl
but I do all I can to cheer her in heart.
I live in Xorth Louisiana nnrl nrhnn
Mr. Tells was up here last April, the
people all went out to hear him and
Mr. Adams speak. There was a heap
said about the homes being mortgaged
in Kan&as and other places, but noth
ing was said about people losing their
homes in Louisiana I suppose it was
because they did cot know of any in
this state, was why I write to speak of
them. I write this to let you know
that there is such suffering here. My
papa don't drink whisky, nor play
cards, and works every day but Sun
day, and it looks lUo we ought to
make a good living.
Yours affectionately,
Little Nannie.
Editor alliasce; I have often
thought I would write to tell the women
that have written bow glad I was that
they had done so; and now that the Ed
itor has given us such a cordial invitation
sod has set apart a column for our espe
cial use, we should endeavor to show
him how grateful we are by doing our
best to help fill the space allotel to oa.
Lst u ei.d him 60 niany wise, witty
and helpful suggestions, ideas and plans
that he will wonder how he ever man
aged to net along without us.
I v as a farmer's daughter and am a
farmer a wile, ana am not only a mem
ber of the Farmers' Alliance but also an
officer; being such, it is almost needless
to say that I am interested in all things
pertaining to farmers, their lives and in
terests. 1 read all the agricultural paoers and
our Alliance too. I have seen a paper
advertised called the Farmer's Wife,
I think. I have forgotten the address;
can any one sena it? 1 always want all
such papers I can get to read, and urtre
my friends to take and read them too;
but must I confess it? farmers as a
class do not take and read agricultural
papers as they should. Some will say.
"We take so many papers now." Others
say, "Oh, 1 can't get time to read. I
can often tell them of something I have
read that has saved me many an hours
work, in the fir si instance oa inquiry
you will probably find your neighbor
takes a local paper, a county paper, and
perhaps achurch paper, oie from "back
east" where they used to live. Let me
urge you to ako all the papers you can
possibly afford and read and re-read
them. Now the winter months are com
ing and we will have more time to read
and study. Let us read, then think and
plan for our work the ensuing year.
There is an old saying that "wot k well
planned is half done," so do not think
you are wasting time when you- are
planning not only the held work, but
also the garden, chicken business, house
work and all the innumerable items that
follow men and women on a farm.
I am getting on my hobby, so I must
stop be'ore I get fully started or
tneeanor win say "too lengthy and
cranky." I want to ask though if some
one or more wL'l write and tell what
they think will be good reading matter
for us this winter to both instruct and
entertain.
Hoping to hear from more of our wo
men members soon, I will stop now and
call again. With many good wishes for
the success of all your Alliances and our
Alliance, I am your sister, Bell.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH.
A Point at Which the Demo-Reps Tried
to Insert a Wedge.
Every reader of both Republican
and Democratic papers, -says the To
peka Advocate, north and south, has
not failed to observe the tremendous
effort everywhere put forth to incul
cate the idea that the people of" the
south have no sympathy with the Peo
ple's party that they are Democrats
and will remain so. If they feel per
fectly sure upon this point it is diffi
cult to see why they should devote so
much apace to the effort to prove it
When it comes to be known that there
is a perfect understanding between the
Alliance people o! the north and south
upon this, as upon many other ques
tion they may readily see what con
summate asses they are showing them
selves to be. When the question ot
organizing a new party was consider
ed at Ocala, It was decided, after
many consultations, that a convention
should be called some time in the
future for the special purpose of
considering Its feasibility. The date
was at one time fixed, but afterwards
reconsidered, and February 22, 1S92,
finally agreed upon. The Cincinnati
conference had nothing whatever to
do with that convention. It was call
ed by an industrial organization that
was not in existence at the time the
convention of February 22, 1892, was
agreed upon. It very wisely shaped
its policy so as to co-operato with the
February convention; bu. the great
mass of those organizations ;vhich had
fixed upon that date as the time for
considering the organization of a new
party regarded the Cincinnati meeting
as premature, and did not therefore
choose to participate in it. Nobody
in the north has at any time expected
the southern states, that were not re
presented at Cincinnati, to ratify the
People's party this year. There is, in
fact, no particular necessity for it We
caro nothing for the manner in which
the southern (states conduct their local
elections. This is a matter in which
we are in no way concerned. If the
Alliance brethren of the south choose
to capture the Democratic primaries
and conventions and elect their men
through these means it in no way con
cerns us. The only point in which
we are interested in, these local elec
tions is that they shall elect Alliance
men, and this they are doing vrith re
markable unanimity.
When it comes to a national elec
tion the case will be quite different
Success in a national conquest requires
a union of the west and south, and
this can only be brought about by a
total abandonment of the old parties.
This the people of the south under,
stand as well as the people of the
north; and on Feburary 22, 1892, they
will speak upon this subject in lan
guage not to be misunderstood. Be- (
fore that time Alliance men of the
north are not expecting them to of
ficially declare for the People's party,
though whenever the subject is men
tioned in southern Alliance meetings
the enthusiam with which such refer
ence .is greeted clearly shows that the
masses of the people are ripe for it
In fact thoy cannot be kept out ot it
It is as impossible as to turn Niagara
up stream. The current of publio
sentiment is as irresistable as that of
the great cataract It should be un
derstood, however, that when the Al
liance moves it moves in a body; and
it will not do this until the time ap
pointed, nor do we expect it to. All
this tremendous effort of the plutocra
tic press to prove the south is not "in
it" is therefore labor lost It Is a
useless expenditure of wind.
The Free Press: Most of the so
called farmers or agricultural papers
are nothing but partisan . papers,
clothed in a garb calculated to de
ceive the people. The farmers can
not afford to support papers that are
opposing their interests. For years
these papers have taught the farmers
that they should let politics alone, and
that working harder and harder was
the key-note to success, and most of
the mischief that bad legislation hna
brought about must be attributed to j
this attempt to keep tho farmer out of i
polities. It has been the schemes of j
money kings, and it is time that the
people were opening their eyes to tho j
true situation o' flairs.
THE FARMER'S CALLING.
It It Xabla aad hould fommaed Re
let frees Legislators.
In view of the magnitude of your
calling, what thoughts should enter
the minds of your legislators? What
attention should they give to your re
quests? asks John Smth in the Jour
nal of Agriculture. Whose servants
are they, and whom have they obeyed?
Echo answers, Wall street! Wall
street!! Where are the good shep
herds? They are not to be found;
they have fleeced the flock and fled to
the mountains, and were it not for the
Alliance, and other farmers' organiza
tions, in vain would we hope for any
thing better.
This organization is perfecting itself,
and preparing for the great conflict
which Is going on between the op
pressed and the oppressor. In its on
ward march it asks for nothing more
than justice. At first it was thought
by many that the Alliance was too
small, to insignificant to attract at
tention; but to-day it is recognized as
a power in the land; yea the Alliance
power shall be more surely felt by the
priests and levites of ur nation. The
uppermost seats in the synagogues of
our land shall be filled with another
people unless the tillers of the soil
shall have a voice in all matters of
law-making; and nothing else will do
the royal nabobs of our country. A
long caravan of agriculturists may be
seen marching toward Washington
to cleanse the White house of
putrifaction, and to administer
wholesome meats and drinks
to its inmates. We are on the war
path; we mean business; we will no
longer listen to the hoot of the owl or
the bark of the wolf, for the voice of
the politician is now known; his soft
words and fair speeches are omens of
no good; we know that he, in no case,
is worthy of trust We must look in
our own ranks for men of honor, men
of Integrity and men of trust and not
to political demagoguos, as we have,
in a great measure, formely done. In
our ranks are to be found men of true
grit tried nerve, and not easily made
afraid. As to natural gifts, the farm
ers will rank with any other class;
ana me Alliance is the proper
place to fit them for any station in Ufa
Then why should we look to another
class of people for persons to fill posi
tions of honor and sacred trust? Or
to direct the affairs of the nation and
guide the old ship of state? When
the proper influence is brought to
bear, health, , wealth, and a sound
mind will plow through the channels
of agriculture!, while cheat, fraud and
bigotry have no place within our
borders. She is heaven-born, God-
given. QThe fiat has gone forth that
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou
eat bread." Then, brother farmers,
awake to a sense of your duty! Gird
on the whole armor, quit you like
men. Come to the front and take the
lead; elevate the standard of agricul
ture by educating your sons and
daughters, and fitting them for every
event in life. Now let no one look
down upon the farm with any degree
of shame, ,but rather let all rejoice
that their lot was cast among the sons
of toil.

organs of both the great political
parties eitner sneer at or boldly an
tagonize the Alliance movement and
the smaller fry copy thoir remarks as
so much eolid truth, rrom this time
on till after the election next fall Al
liance men may be on the lookout for
all manner of "yarns" in a certain
class cf papers, calculated to injure a
movement that is beconrins- a tp.rror
to the capitalists and monopolists
wnose golden riveted collars the con
ductors of such journals wear.
Alliance Herald: The people want a
cheap way of getting money, and one
with which they can comply. They
ure at the mercy of a combination of
capitalists that can not be defeated by
any power not. as powerful and pos
sessing as great means as it can con
trol. There is no other power that
can defeat them, except the govern
ment; for no combination can be made
that possesses the facilities and abili
ty to compete with them except the
government. It is called paternalism
for the government to accord this pro
tection. A government that does not
exert enough paternalism to protect
its people is wanting m the essential
purposes for which it was organized
and for which the people pay taxes to
support The government ought to
discharge every function it has or
can command in order to protect its
creation. That is the purpose of its.
existence. That is the intention of it'
In fact that is all the use the citizen
has for government It has the pow
er to compel him to hazard his life
in battle for its perpetuity. In return
it ought to hazard its life to protect
him in all the essentials of liberty.
The Western , Call: Government
bonds converted into legal tender
treasury notes would be only changing
the form of the credit of the govern
ment from one class of security to an
other. The legal tenders would be
equally as good and safe as the bonds.
In the one form it represents idle capi
tal bearing interest; in the other capi
tal employing labor, building up the
industries of the country in place of
dragging them down. The nation's
credit should never be in the form of
bonded interest bearing debt The
people will always accept the govern
ment's credit in the form of legal ten
der treasury notes. The people will
render the government any service it
may require in time of peace or war
for them. Make them a full legal
tender for all debts both public and
private and you have a currency aa
good as the government with only the
cost of printing. Every man will give
up any class of property in exchange
for them, knowing they are good as
gold. They are redeemed every time
they change hands and are independent
of gold. This is the kind of money
that is always equal to the demand
and ia always at home when needed.
It stays with the people at all times
and never goes visiting.
