By request the f olio wi eg ex t racT of f. Watsan!ri book was read by the clerk of the house: f - . The congress now sitting ishe il lustration. Pledged ,to economy, they have not economized.'

' The committee provided ' for by this resolution met at 10 o'clock a. m., Saturday, Julv 31. Mr. Wat son was promptly on hand with his witnesses, But before Mr. Watson hadconclued his testimony, ic : be came plain that "true, the responsi bility should be placed where it be longs" part of the preamble to the resolution was buncombe, pure and simple, by the fact that the com mittee ruled that the names of the drunken members should not be mentioned. Mr. Watson proved himself a perfect gentleman. He declared the business into which he had been drawn by the resolution of the house was very unpleasant to him, and while he was perfectly willing to screen the gentlemen who were guilty of excessive drinking by with-holding then names, yet he could not do so if the- committee de cided that the names were necesary tonrove the charges in his book.

To tie Ediiinr of tne World: Republican editors, politicians and Congressmen are proclaiming to .1. . iu- ' in. nation has'been largelv increased un- def the operations of the McKinley tariff during the past two years. Ad- mitting this3 to bi true, we producers would like some Republican editor or statesman to explain to us where Jiis increase of wealth" t . . - . has gone in whose pockets has it found a stopping place? J the great mass of producers reaped any benefit from this gain, or has it been ' gobbled by the protected manufac turers, speculators, trusts, combines and othei monopolists? " Another thing we would like the protectionists to explain to us is why?, if the McKinley law benefits the nicf chanic and laborer, they have no had their shares' of this great in crease of wealth. Why is there so much distress among the laboring classes? Why so many strikes and disturbances to threaten the public peace? The election is coming on aud the voter is seeking knowledge so that he may cast his liallot wisely. 'SA great many farmers are being rapidly conrinced that there is same thing wrong in the operation of : the tariff system, and are getting their eyes open-to the fact that this law gives the manufacturer and mono polist a powerful advantage over the ! farmer, because, for one reason it forces him .tp sell the product of his labor 'at prices fixed in free-trade England, in competition with the pauper labor of Furope, India and Egypt, and to purchase his neces saries of life from the American manufacturer, who is protected at the rate of nearly 50 per cent against the value of such goods in the markets where the prices ott his produce are fixed. No wonder: the .farmer is losing ground and the. manufacturer growing richer tmder the unequal operations of the Me Kinley law, and it is becoming plain to all intelligent, fair-minded men that this system which taxes the pro ducer for the benefit of the mannfac- jturer and speculator must be abol ished or else the condition of; the American farmer and mechanic! will soon be reduced to the level of the vassalage of Europe.

Fir yeari we have been study ing political economy, "I'he Sc-ieuce of (Joyeriiment," from a strictly 11011 partisMi' standpoint, the only correct method of arriying at the truth in politics. With 11 n pa railed uuan mity and enthnsiasm, we have" unit ed ou a series of demands which have been adopted, affirmed and re affirmed by our supreme council,, our county, state add subordinate alli ances. Last February ? at St. Louis, they .were endorsed by itwenty-jne other great labor organizations.7 These demands, are the result of many years patient study arid dis cnflstOn of thb'ir)4ej(iri believe ther are' just" and' esseutial. The time nas now . arrived to test wheiher we are going to bepractical or not The only way teseenre. the enactment of theie demands into law is through political action-We have passed the stages of discussion resolutions aud demanding. Thests are all preliminary to the final act of voting. Unless followed up by our ballots, all we have doue will - have been in vain. L- The difficulty that now confronts us as an organization is, that w bile we are as a unit ou our demands, we are not as to methods f securing ihem. We all must agree on tbe common sense propo sitiou that tbe only way of securing t i . ... 1.. r t- .. ir biiciii is ui iuic lur luciiu juiuririi- nately, our partisanship, in some cases have proven stronger than our allegiance to our principles. W hen we first made our political demands, we, to that extent become a political organization. In doing so, we did sot become a political' party, nor do I think we, as a class ever should. So long as other classes and professions remain organized as classes or professions, we, too must perpetuate and strengthen our orga nization. . But having, as en organi zation, made certain political de mands we have corresponding duties to perform. ;Wbeu we requested the several political parties to adopt our demands, there was an implied prom- ise that if they did we would support th;m; if not we would oppose the fm. ' We have been met with the .conten tion that this would interfere with our political freedom. Before ' tak ing the obligation, we were assured that it will not conflict with the i freedom of our political or religious ! i views. The Alliance-has been au i educator. Our demands are our "political view." Instead ' of iutcr- fering with, we urge our members to stand bv aaid suimort and. vote.for , 1 y 1 1 their political viewi? T It is the only boneefc oEceislstelit- thio do.

Experience in the atatae elections where we have voted for our. principles, haqe demon strated our gains have more than balanced our losses in number, and strengthened . us immensely iu pres tage and influence. , A few may be led away with the ide that because a political party has, adopted our demands our efforts should be concentrated solely for the party. This would be a grave mis take. We must- perpetuate and 'strengthen our organization as a bul wark for bur principles, present and prospective. A tower of strength to aid the partv adopting our demands, and a terror to the political party now fighting them. In other words we must,remaiu "independent of and superior to political parties.

You are permitted to go into a Democratic primary provided vou will Vote as the "bosses r wish. Will vou perinit yourselves to Jbe forced to vote as the Cxar" dictates?

You will be allowed to daso, but you must not nominate a man who thinks like you do. If you do your candidate will not be recognised. We suppose the com mittee would endorse a bolt under these circumstances. We are -very sorryghe has taken this position- It is a mistake and the result on elec tion day will show it.
