No nation ever fought a great
war by the aid of gold. On the
contrary, in the crisis of the
greatest peril, it becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe

is won and peace has been se-
cured gold reappears and
j claims the fruits of victory.
In our own Civil War it is
doubtful if the gold of New
York and London did not
work us greater injury
than the powder and lead
and iron of the rebels. It was
the most invincible enemy of

Possibly >>ne of the most
scathing denunciation of mo
nopolistic plundering of the
American people was delivered
in a recent speech of Senator
John J. Itigalls, of Kansas, just
before his retirement from th*
l imed States senate. After
portraying in vivid terms the
condition of the masses in their
Btiuggles against the pluto-
crats, he says: "The people

Ingalls Speech in United States
Senate Febnary 15, 1878.
The supreme council of the
National Alliance which re-
contly convened at Indianapolis
was a success in every particu
lar. A delegation represent-
ing thirty-live states of the
Union was present. Haimony
prevailed throughout. Col Jj.
L. Polk was re-elected presi-
dent.
The partisan reports of the
meeting tried to convey the
idea that the third party move
was indorsed, resulting in a di-
vision of the alliance, but such
was not the case. The third
party question was not raised
at all—strict adherence to busi-
ness and the principles of the
alliance constituted the work
of the earnest delegation pies-
ent. Outside inlluences were
brought to bear on the meeting
by its enemies with the hope
of disrupting the order, but to
no avail.
The opening paragraph of
President Polk's annual ai
dress which was adhered to
clearly shows how reason pre
vailed and the objects sought.
He said :
"Assembled here as the ac-
credited representatives of the
farmers of almost every state
in the Union, you cannot be un
mindful of the weighty respon
slbility attaching to youi* posi-
tion. Upon no body baa groat
er responsibilities fallen than
upon you since the meeting of
the continental congress. The
demands of the latter for equal
rights were no more just than
are yours against the inequali
ties which threaten to under-
mine the liberties of the peo
pie and destroy the great agri-
cultural interests of the coun-
try. Diligent, earnest research
as to the causes which have
forced the American farmer to
the verge of bankrupty, haye
forced upon him the conviction
that the most sacred fnnctionB
of the government have been
usurped by a favored few to
the detriment and ruin of the
neglected millions."

The farmers of this section
are about through picking cot-
ton, and some are plowing for
next year's crop. Many think
the wheat crop will be a failure
unless we have a rain in a short
time.

The public school is in a most,
prosperous condition. The at-
tendance is large, and all seem
to be interested in the cause of
education:
A Mr. Knight -was in the
neighborhood a few days since
making i n effort to organize a
class to take lessons in pen
manship.
Mr. John Martin left this
morning for Grayson county to
be gone several days on busl
ness.

R. L. Reid are gathering up

the wedding feast is beiug
made, and the bridal wreath is
being woven, soon two young
hearts of this vicinity will beat
as one, aud that there are sev-
eral others to follow before the
merry chimes of the Xuias bells
herald the dawn of another an-
niversary of the day, lhat we
all look forward to with so
much pleasure.
Miss Ada Youuger of Yiny is

borhood.
Last Snturday as Mr. Snider
was driving home from McKin-
ney his Worses became fright-
ened and ran away, demolish-
iug the wagon, and eeriously
hurling him.
From the number of candi-
dates announced I judge the
next years campaigu is now on,
aud as in the past the candidate
getting the most votes will be
elected. Just what ligure the
alliance will cut in the cam-
paign tseeinu to be the problem
that is mostly exercising the
average politician, at this time.
They believe it is here to stay,
but are at a loss to know just
how and where the li^htuing is
going to strike.

Weddings are the order of
the day, it seems in our little
city, as well us the important
topic of conversation aud the
strange part of thd story is that
the Hectors are all marrying off
now. If health continues to
get belter -well, they will all
starve, that is ail.
