The Alliance seeks to make the rich pay taxes and fund bonds, reduce officials to an equal level with others, break up grain and pork cornering by speculators, and enable a poor man to borrow money as cheaply as a banker. It aims to keep government funded to run the country, watch Congress from the people’s side for the next twenty five years, profit in farming and industry, and oppose the giant monopoly.
