Mrs. Lease, the farmer woman and lawyer woman of Kansas, who, Miss Willard said, would haye succeeded Senator Ingulls if she had only been a man, was introduced by the president of the union’ to speak on the subject of woman in the Farmers’ Alliance. Mrs. Lease is a unique feature of the woman's movement. and with straight black hair brushed back from her high forcheud, she speaks with a strong, eloquent voice more like a man’s than any womans. Masculine in style of address she 5 like a true orator, and it was casy enough for the audience at Al” baugh’s to believe that Mrs. Lease is able to hold the attention of Farmers’ Alliance meetings for hour after hour. SIE HELPED TO DEFEAT INGALLS, She began by saying that it was right to speak of the needs for the organization of the farmers and the workingmen against robber capital. She spoke of the condition of affairs in Kansas and referred to Mr. Ingalls as “the man that we women of Kansas had the great pleasure of defeating.” rap sae today,” said Mrs. Lease, “buys and sells the very heartbeats of humanity. Capital- ists name our statesmen and government off- cials and they fix the price of a day's labor and load of coal. But when the farmers knocked the doors of Congress for relief in their sub- treasury plan the subsidized press of the land cried out and the plan has been pushed back as unconstitutional. ‘Ihe women of the alliance number a half a million, almost all of whom are loyal members of the white ribboners. “The Farmers’ Alliance members in Congress are the only ones who were uot elected on a liquor platform." ra.

I shall not go into the caucus of either party, and I know that the other alliance met ‘of Kansas and those of Nebraska will not. THE GREENBACK FrOn?. “This alliance movement is the growth of | seventeen years. Its foundation is in the money | question. I have ran for Congress be-| fore as nback idate, as matter of principle. We’ bold that the volume of money should inerease with the increase of population. In the ear! of the fight we bu id to contend against the claim ‘that nothing but_ gold and silver were moncy. 1878 we = won the fight inasmuch as the courts acknowledged that the government could make freacury notes a legal tender. The greenback movement subsided then because we thought we had won the fight. But we have got to go all over it again. WANT MORE MONET. | “Our people are tired of suffering the shrink- | age of valucs of our prodnets through the | seareity of mone; taxation. We want the proper amount of | money for the volume of business; we want | fair transportation charges by the railroads, | which we by rights own, and we want a reduc- | | tion of the tariff, the greater the reduction the | | better. The money question is the first question, but there has been | resolution in Kansas on the tariff question. | of as little tariff as possible. Many of our peo- ple used to think they got some bencit | from the protective policy, that they got higher | wages, but they are rapidly coming to seo that | it is not true. “They are coming to see that the | pro policy is injuring thom. The tariff is a tax, an they feet it. They know that a hog cannot live on its flesh jand t aap fat. 1 trade should be opened up with the whole world and tue volume of — money should be | sufficient for the trade and commerce. We | want free coin of silver, but that will hardly furnish us with the necessary amount of money.
