Oar 8oasJ Bevolution.
The last thirty years has witnessed
a remarkable change in the business,
tbe social life, tha ideals, and the ambi
tions of our people. The most notice
able chane is a shifting in lbs relative
social position occupied by different
classea, and the complete dropping out
you may say, of tbe agricultural class
from what may be called "society." Bo
fore the war of tbe rebellion, except in
the vicinity of the larger cities, the
leading riucf in any section were us
ually tkuiongtthe most prominent men
in social aur business life. Farming
was generally considered, if not the
moat lucrative, tertainly one of tbe most
honorable and most dignified of pur
suits; and farmers were prominent ia all
larm business affairs. They regarded
themselves, and were looked to by oth
ers, as representative men. whose opin
ions on any subject it was Important to
consider.
AU this is now changed. I armors,
i a class, have almost disappeared
from view in what may be called the
business and social lite oi the country.
Kven is communities where they out
number all other classes, they receive
Utile consideration from tbe city mag
nates, or the urban population goner-
ally, except as prospective or actual
customers. Socially they have lit tie
lbtluence, and the business la gradu
ally drifting Into a distinctly lower
grade, whose town compeers and so
cial acquaintance are now mostly found
among wage earners ratber loan busi

Now the man who looms up rocii prom
inently In any community, who excites
moat popalar curiosity, whose acqunio
tance Is most sought, who dominates
social life, is the successful bnslness man
-the man who baa made a fortune and
spends it freely. Mere learning, as rep
resented In the college professor learn
ing which cannot be converted into mo

Kven professional ability cf the highest
order, and accompanist by brllllaut or
atorical powers, pales t - popular esti
mation, before the splendor of the mul
tiple millionaire. The ministers, of
whatsoever denomination, have ceased
to command the old time respect, or to
exert anv decided influence on the cur

cheaponiii; money and making it
abundant in every man's pocket not
after the manner recommended by
Franklin."
There's whero tho mite shows his
ignorance, says the Chicago Sentinel.
FranklU made social piljrrimujfcs to
England to ple-id with the besotted
government not to take away our po
ller money founded on land values.
The principal cause of the revolution
was England's brutul destruction of
that money.
The writer Inclines to the people's
side and says all Hint lie dares of tbo
truth that bo has. Only half truths
rubbed down with a brick, sand-pa.
porod and varnished, can be got Into
those arUtocraiic magazines, bo the
article Is not of muoU value. Hut bore
are a few passages tliut imply moro
than tliey express:
l"be3ub-treasury plan of tho Alliance
is n form of crop mortgage by the gov
eminent at two per cent instead of ton
to twenty, naturally growing out of
the prevalent aud ancient custom of
crop llena and therefore more ioiulur
even In the South than a government
land mortgage.
Ihny are beginning to object to the
exemption of Uxtitiou on large
of real values of roal property owned
by religious aud charitable organiza
tions; and are keenly alive to the in
justice advocated by many In cities, of
concentrating all taxations upon forma
and town lot, that the rnc-enng pro
portion of personal wealth, the bulk of
the property of millionaire may
escape taxation altogether.
Many deplore the old-tlmo policy of
gUing Western lands to foreign us
well as to native settlers, and espe
cially that which enables wealth t
monopolize tho best lands at nominal
prices, and tho encouragement of rail
road extension by loans suMcient to
build the roads and land grants worth
as much mora.
Tbey dislike the rebates and special
conditions by which favored operators
can crowd tho multitude of freighters
off tho track.
Thoy regard prevailing ratos'of in-
torost established when money was
dearer than nt presunt as teo high.
On tuo raidliu the people hold, and
tbe states udlrtu, that tho water be
longs to tho state and goes with the
land; that it cannot be vcUcd by indi

Id tho arid regions, without crops

On the other hand, leavo all the mul

discussion out of the platform. Let
all the various elements that are dis
satisfied with present conditions come
together nnd unite upon one or two
single propositions concerning which
there is little difference of opinion
among the industrial classes, end go

ponition to 'grant reforms that may
be demanded either in the interest of
the whole people, or of any special
element of our population. Success Is
tho one thing most needful and, in
our judgment, the party may be trust

It Is in a position to do so. If it does

PATRIOTISM FIRST.
No Ores Mot. mast ffu Cvsr Without
Itt Tr.ltert.
The time to try men's souls is upon
us. The time when feigned patri
otism must vanish Is here. We. ot
course, have those In our ranks who
we unworthy of the cause they repre
sent We have those whe fear to do,
and we have those who, for sol Ik. h
gala, would s'rike hands with our
common enemy nnd prostitute our
riuso. Those aro broad charges, God
grant that thoy may prove uatruo and
that we may be branded as a false
prophet. The supposition is based on
lessons ot the past. Xo groat move
ment was ever without its traitors, do.
elates the Toller of Tennessee. The
religion of Jesus Christ has gained a
foothold on tbe confidence of civiliza
tion only aftor having trampled tinder
foot the most unscrupulous traitors
the world bus evor known. No revo
lution ever appealed to the conscience
of man with sufficient force to conquer
all treachery. Then, be not surprised
to find those among us who falter ia
the face ot duty. Thank heaven we
know of none, but it they are among,
us the crucial test of 189:.' will dovelop
them.
llrave men, you who have cast your
lot with tbe oppressed laboring
classes, will you be true? or will you
falter now that we have reached tho
skirmishing line of the enomy? It is
liko Americans, it is like tho grand
old Saxon spirit to do or dio for prin
ciples. Now is tho t'ruo ot need.
Friendship and past social and po
litical associations may appeal to you
on tho ono side, but duty cooly com
mands you upon the other. Selfish
interests may appeal to you here, but
patriotism dictates to you thore. We
spoak now to those who know their
duty. The home and fireside of your
posterity appeals to you to ba a brave
and true patriot, one who can dare to
do duty ia tho face of ridicule and
denunciation. Will you not resent
the stinging Insult offered your liberty
and your lights,9 You nro
armed with a deadly weapon, you
should strike now before the enemy
has disarmed nod bound you in dis
graced surfdora. You have tho ballot,
und if you would strike not a blow
amiss you would never voto for a man
or party who fails to rofloct your sen
timents, ltouson as a froo man, a9 a
patriot, about your duty. Was tho ex
ercise of your suffrago given you tha t
you mlffht bo made a party slave or
was it given you a a weapon with
which to defend your homo und fire
side? Were you made a frecmun that
you might bo made a slave or were
you made a freeman that you might
judge of duty and act with independ-
enee? Answer those quest-ions, then
answer your conscience when it do
mands of you that you vote as au
American freemaa for what you know
to lie right.
Alhanceraon, we have erected our
fortifications and planted our bannor
thereon, it waves to tho breeze bear
ing tho domands of our organization.
Our subordinate county, congressional,
state nnd national bodios have declared
allegiance to that flag whieh floats
from the sehoolhouso gubles and church
spires of many thousand civil districts
of thirty-eight states of tho union.
Ihreo million sovereigns are with us
in tho trenchos. Now will you desort
us? Will you for oue moment grow
negligent? Will yon loavo tho fight
te your comrades when you see tho
allied forces of eo-opernto power mar
shaNng in tho front? No. you will be
patriots first. You will salute your
Hag and defy a living soul or party to
insult IU You will fire your ballot at
any fiuger of scorn that may bo pointed
at your colors. You will bo freemen
and patriots.

The progress mada by the Alliance
in forcing its demands upon the con
sideration of the country has been
most gratifying, and the success so
far achieved Is as great as could have
been reasonably expected. Ine work
goes bravely on, well systematized and
ably pressed, with tho opposition

Prosperity Is more try log to many
souls than adversity. Thousands of
farmers are being tested this year as
never before
They are getting their shape of the
700 nuli.on dollars increase over last
year for grain, cattle, etc. After tbey
have paid their debts how many will
say: "We will rent our farms and join
the plutocrats in the eities and lord it
over our tenants." Or. "We will set
up the boys in broken grab gamee in
some city, and see if our folks can't
get on top as well as other folks?'
No;when they see even such a plute
magaziueas the -Century" saying tbat
we are becoming a nation of "idlers,
tricksters aud gamblers," let them de
termine to use every possible cent of
their surplus for Feop'.e's party pa
pers, hooka lectures, and campaign

Bare Facts.
Frances E Willard: The fact that
three-fifths of this country's wealth is
in tbe hands of one eighteen hun
dreth of our population, that tbo labor
bureaus ot two of our best states de
clare the average wages of working
men are not enough to bring up fam
ilies upon, even in the cheapest way,
unless wife and children are also wage
earners, the fact that the combinations
of capital are bringing about tho
serfdom of labor these and a score of
others like them point to on industrial
revolution.
