Believing: its doc trines as set forth, and constantly ftudying its principles, I have en deavored to put on its whole armor and set myself upon the watch 'tower to note its .progress. And. now it has planted its banner from tne Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and from the pihej clad hills of Maine to the Golden Gate of, California Behold! it stands with out-stretched hands, saying: "Come unto me aii ye that labor, and put on ray armor; Form a baud, united rights of the farmer.' Btand. andlpress the And now as that band is formed, let lis stand together: and search for the mills that are grinding the laboring classes down to the dust Lo! these tnany years. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but surely.-" The most wouderf ul thing I see about this reform movement is: The more it is abused, slandered and trampled .upon by the iarty press, or would be bosses and politicians, the faster it grows. It seems as if it was a di vine measure. But when I look at the honesty and magnitude of its principles, 'f Equal rights " to all and special privileges to none," I am not surprised. It is no respector of per sons It is founded upon 'justice and truth.' and will prevail. Ah! partisan press, bosses mugwumps, plutocrats and politicians, you can not grapple with it. ,In time past you have sidetracked it by your de-t vices, promises . and inugwumpery, but you can not keep it there. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again; yea, the eternal years are hers!" I think that is what it is doing now. It is I coming tip in its might too, -and is ever going to keep its head and shoulders, out. of the water.

There is much unrest among the people in all agricultural sections, particularly in the ISouth, and. if the farmers believe their interests are sacrificed to promote the prosperity of New York,cthcv will not , respond to the appeals to the appeals to staud by the party. For: twenty-five! years the legislation of, the country has been in the interest of the classes and against the masses, and it. has built up-a few rich men and impoverished the mauy. ' This will read strangely to those far removed from agricul tural districts, but it is the simple statement of a fact. The people need to have the burdens imposed upon them removed, and they will not consent to have their interests sacrificed for political advantage in pivotal States. The Democrats .will be held responsible for the legislation of the House, and! they ought to de vise and execute meastjres of relief and pass them through the House and throw the responsibility fxf their defeat upon the Senate." Unless the House acts wisely and An con formity to the popular Democratic demand we cannot promise the Democratic nominee the -electorial vote of North Carolina 'State Chronicle. ,7. :- . "Somebody, it seems, "has heard from the gravel train." We' trans fer the above from the ' editorial col umns of the Chror icle, as it is good Alliance doctrine and makes good aud. acceptable reading for the Alii ancemen. The Chronicle is right ir i -m " i i . '' ats conclusion that the people are growing tired of this party nonsense about "the great ' pivotal State of New iYork." Some papers would have the people believe that New York is the only State in the Union that can furnish ! Presidents, and 'that Grover Cleveland and D. B. Hill are the only two men whose - claims are vyorth considering. Sensible men are disgusted, if not humiliated with this boot-licking toadyism to. New York and. Wall street. But the Chronicle has put a big job on the Democrats in Congress. lie "tells them that the people are demanding j relief and that they will hold the Democrats responsible for ; their iaiUJ u ro to get" It'. Tvrell, what are the! prospects for it? With pledges On the stump, in the press aud in their platforms, for long years in favor of free silver, and I now with - an im mense majority in Congress, they ab solutely called a caucus to determine whether they' should attempt to car ry out the pledges made, to the peo ple, but before the time arrived' to hold the caucus, they, dropped it. And now we see that they absolutely circulated a petition among them selves to ' see how many coul d be found to agree Ito the - consideration of the'silver bill introduced j by IIol man's committee And they? wrangle and falter thus oil the silver : ques tion, to which I they are so solehily pledged, what may we expect fin! the way of remedial legislation on the great "money j question?" We have noticed that in all the speeches and writings of these men nothihg has been said about abolishing national banks nothing about a change in our financial system for ah increase of the currency. I hey tal k of e ver v thing else and introduce bills oh al most all other questions, but - w'ho among them has ventured to move a hand, to' give the people relief from the wicked, and intolerable oppress ion or the money Kingr JJo - they think they cn dodge this greatest of all isms before' the American peo ple?. ; Do they imagine ,tbat : the pas sage, even ot a free silver bill, will displace fhis . great question? ' Do they think that a cringing i compli ance with tlie demands of W!all street on the part of Congress. will: be en dorsed by I the. people?. Do they comprehend that we are to-uay in the midst of a mightv political rev olution? Do they know that the peo ple are in worse financial condition than they have been for a half cen tury? Do they not, will 'they not hear the great wail of distress that is coming tip all over the land? Con gress knows these things, vet it ha; beeu in session now nearly three months, and nothing done for the . re lief of ihe people. ' - 1 tie Lhron icle is Tight. 1 he peo ple are terribly in earnest and will not longer 1 be trifled with. From our standpoint, the parties in th body seem to , be entirely absorbed in inanoenvering for position oh the po litical battlefield of the coming cam paign. Thiev should remember that they need mien to fight political bat tles" and that these men should have confidence in ; thfir leaders.
