A Richmond notes the Progressive Farmer paper and subscribers, with editor absent, urging readers to change mailing offices, renew subscriptions, and read advertisements. It covers Polk and Willetts at the New York Alliance, tariff debates, Sub Treasury demands, and calls for unity against banking and monopolies. It emphasizes the Farmers' Alliance platform and warns against traitors, predicting political realignments for 1892.
A Cleveland style recap notes telegraphic reports from the State Alliance meeting of New York and Polk’s remarks. It cites Buffalo and New York Herald papers, summarizing Polk’s stance that no opinion was stated on a third party and that the people must decide, independent of partisan press.
A long directive from L L Pou urges unity in the National Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union against political manipulation and press interference. He calls for a nationwide lecture system, mass meetings, and vigilant fidelity to Alliance principles, warning members to expel public attackers and to unite across North and South to defeat old party loyalties.
The Iredell County Alliance meeting on the 10th adopted resolutions asserting they will not bend their principles to suit any man or party. They decry claims that labor voters favor Cleveland, reaffirm support for Ocala platform demands, and call for new subscribers rather than renewals. The report also covers New York Farmers Alliance events praising President Polk and detailing convention outcomes.
J M Garst of Boston argues for a 15 percent government note issue tied to national wealth and mortgage backing for citizens non perishables. He contends this would demonetize silver and gold, curb fraud, and place money and property on equal footing, urging readers to vote for the plan in 1891.
