' v ' I Work Together. ' f The Alliance Herald (Montgom ery Ala.) says: . -i It would seem that the prospects which'confront the farro ers should impress the merchauta, who are der lendent upon them fr,i their prosper-: ity, that it is about time for them to investigate the ways and means for restoring prosperity, to the fanner, for that will 83ure general prosperity to the country. Instead of this, they are uni ted almost solidly against every reform sought for the promo tioirof tbe masses, and therely aid ing and abetting the English jystem to still further impoverish an.d. dam age the interests of famiers. It y0nld seem that the numb' r of fail- nXiS reported each week i w yjnld im press m'erchanta with tVe deniand that a change is needed, , and badly needed, as much in their, interest' as for the benefit of fannfs. , 1 : : 1 T-r- , Semaltr TeCer. - L;liie ,n h 'Vh iM ,uo'BM control of money " d t "Te Deiore the U.S. fcnate a however, " lu- noi om; tw - va. . x v iiy more money that is demanded.
