THE ALLIANCE.
The farmers movement has assumed
so many forms since its commencement
and has so many different organizations
that one can scarcely be blamed if . he
fails to keep track of them all. It seems
beyond question however that there are
alliance men and alliance men and that
there is the widest possible difference
between them. While the Chuosicle
cannot become the organ of any party it
would consider itself unworthy of sup
port if did not, on all questions that re-
' late to the best interests of the "farming
and.laboring classes, stand shoulder to
shoulder with them. But this by no
means involves the adoption of every
wild and visionary scheme that is now
being advocated in their behalf. The
editor of the Cuboniclk will heartily
sympathize with any movement that
will tend to give the classes referred to
a just representation in the National
Congress or State Legislature, but he
has not a word of sympathy for a class
of so called alliance men who, while pro
fessing to denounce Xtoth of the old
parties are simply playing into the hands
of one which they have really never
ahandoned. The right to form a third
party is unquestioned but one loses all
respect for 'its advocates is, while they
assert their independence of party shack
les will with the same breath, tacitly ac
knowledge themselves satisfied if the
movement will result in placing one of
the old parties in power. We are pleased
to know however, that this criticism does
- not apply to the Wasco county alliance,
as a body, whatever the objects and
opinions of private members may be. A
highly esteemed member of a Wasco
-ounty alliance has placed in our hands
si copy of tbe constitution and by-laws
ol the "Farmers' Alliance," and after, a
careful perusaf we are free to say that it
is in everyway excellent and worthy of
support. Here is the simple statement
given as to its object: "The objects of
the Farmers' Alliance are to unite the
farmers for the promotion of their in
terests, socially, iolitically and financi
ally. To secure a just representation of
the agricultural interests of the country
in tbe National Congress and the State
Legislature. To demand the prohibition
of alien cattle and land syndicates and
to oppose all forms of monopoly, as be
ing detrimental to the best interests of
the public." In the article relating to
the qualification for membership it is
expressly stipulated that no person shall
be admitted who is not a. farmer, farm
laborer, mechanic, school teacher, coun
try physician or minister of the gospel,
who does not believe in the existence of
a supreme being and is of industrious
habits. Another section provides that
there shall be no political or religious
test for membership. Another article
asserts: "It is. deemed contrary to the
spirit of the order for brothers to go to
law with each other. Therefore, it is
earnestly recommended, when pecuniary
difficulties arise between members, that
they settle the matter amicably among
themselves, or failing to do so, by aibi
tration." In tho obligation the candi
date solemnly avows that' he has not
joined tbe alliance from any selfish, im
proper or partisan motive. Assuming
that it is right to form secret societies
for political objects there is certainly
nothing objectionable in- these articles.
We are assured that the alliances banded
together under this constitution while
united for political objects, are not par
tisan. The members do not believe in
the wisdom of the sub-treasury scheme
nor government warehouses nor wild in
nation of paper or depreciated silver cur
rency. They do not believe in a third
partv movement but they do believe in
having something to say regarding the
men scrt to represent them in the halls
of legislature. And they are right and
wheb the time comes to name candidates
for office no one will be better pleased
than the Chboxiclk, if these alliance
men will demand that only clean; hon
orable and upright men shall be nomi
nated, men who are in touch with tbe
, tillers of the soil and who cannot Joe
bribed or bought. This they have a
right to demand and it is their duty to
do so and if they are true to one another
they can demand it in a way that will
compel attention.
The Eaxt Ortgonian is a firm believer'
in the single tax doctrine and an ardent
worshiper at the shrine of Henry George.
In a late issue of that journal George's
theory is expounded and indorsed in the
following manner : '"Henry George ad
mits frankly enough that the single tax,
stripped of all extraneous mistiness and
reduced to its simplest elements, is a
policy of land confiscation.' He holds
that land is a common eniovment of
mankind, like air and water, and that
rent is an iniquity. He would abolish
rent by heaping all the taxation upon
laud and so compel its owners to pay
back to the people, in form of the state,
all they receive from the public in ' form
of occupiers or exploiters of the land.
That is, the state will confiscate the rent
from land. To' confiscate the increment
is to confiscate the thing itself, since a
thing like land has value only for the in
crement it will bring to its owner. The
aim of the single tax is the distruction
of private property in land." This is
the single tax theory as expounded by
one of its most ardent admirers and ad
vocates. Farmers of Oregon how do
you like it?
"In a country of eaual ritrhts and
J privile ges the laborer should be allowed
I to pay his debtsjn the same kind of coin
; he receives for his labor. Any denial of
this privilege stamps our boasted equal
ity a delusion." Portland Dispatch.
Is not this harmless thunder. Who
denies this right? Is there not another
right, the right of private contract? If
one lends a sum of money in gold or its
equivalent, has he not aright to contract
for gold in repayment? The .constitu
tion gives him this right, but if not, he
has a right to keep his money in his
pocket, or devote it to some other use.
No man has a right to blame him for
protecting himself from the doings of
financial cranks". The editor of the Dis
patch would himself exercise the right,
diBpite his brutum fulmen.

relief it gives." There is nothing like it
to loosen and relieve a severe cold. For

They Speak From Experience.
"We know from experience in the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that it

they believe it to be the best in the
market for throat and lung diseases.
