September 1891 "Sterling has a new paper. It is called the Independent and will be conducted in the interests of the Alliance. R. P. Addis is publisher and J. W. Roland is manager. Its editorial staff is not given but we suppose the bright lights of the party will be regular contributors. With the grangers behind the new venture its advertising columns should pay. We should even expect to see Jud Brush advertising his steers upon its pages. Nothing like keeping solid with the farmers."
