My! that sounds like one of' Hudson's whoppers. About the ngxt thing we hear will be Hudson saying every farmer in Kansas has his, debts paid. Then of course our g. parrots at La. Crosse will repeat it again.

Will some unprejudiced g. p. man explain to me why it is that they are tooting protection so much the republican party has never turned its hand over to protect and help the interests of the poor laboring man. who toils tea hours in a day at 2 cents an hour, or what tbey have done to help the farmer? We say nothing. Then we are confronted by republicans who say "you did not need to go in debt." We feel like we would like to take some of these high standing collar dudes by the nape of the neck and make them follow a plqw from sun up to sun dow for weeks at a time, then harrow and sow their seed, and before it is near matured it is blasted beyond hope.

If that man never had a very good start in the first place, how is he go: ing to live and feed his family? Suppose it happens this way three or four years at a time like it has done, then we are asked ''what did you go in debt Now a turn has got to come some way. During republican reign tiie farmers and laborers have knocked time and again on the doors of congress but no response, no protection for them and they are told to go home, work harder and be more I tell you the yoke will soon have us down, so while we can we must do something for ourselves and our children. The Creator helps those who help themselves, then let us keep the banner of "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," waving, let us fight for right and for justice; let victory be our battle try.

Industrial Alliance is to organize and educate the voters of the towns and cities upon the economic questions of the day. We aim to unite with us all who indorse the St. Louis platform, of 1892, but who are ineligible to membership in other reform organizations.

Any person oyer sixteen years of age maj join our order excepting stockholders, oflicerst or salaried attorneys of yailway, expreSj telegraph or national banking corporations. We wprk in perfect harmony with the Knights of Labor and the Farmers Alliance, and have the hearty endorsement and co-operation of all the other reform workers and leaders of the nation. The vote of the to wns and cities is the only h.opo of Wall street, and every true reformer should aid us in our efforts to push the work of organization and education in, every city, town and village, and thus unite and strengthen our forces. The interests of the business men are identical with Ihose of the farmer and laborer, and all feel the hand of oppression upon them. Our oppressors never sleep, and we must ever be watchful and up and doing.

The enemies of the peo? pie are leagued together in secret o-ganization and we must meet them and defend our rights by counter-organization. Through the provisions of our order would-be disturbers and insidious foes are excluded, thus guarding against dissension and disruption. Give us your aid. A There will be a meeting of the national executie board at Omaha, July 2. Additional organizers will then be commissioned lor every State in the Union, and all necessary supplies furnished.

For instructions how to organize, address Mrs. Anna L. Diggs, national secretary, Washington, D. C. Will reform papers run this notice until the Omaha convention, and thus aid us in our work, and greatly oblige.
