THE GRANGE AND THE ALL
ANCE ON TRUSTS"

The "Bagging Steal"
TEMPERANCE HALL GRANGE, No. 43,
Near Tarboro, N. c., Aug. l, '88.
EDITOR FARMER, RALEIGH, N. c.:
o- Dear Sw:-Please publish the fol-
lowing and oblige: '
At a meeting of this Grange, on
motion, a committee of three, consist
ing of DR.. A. B. Mobiles, J. A. Davis
and DR.. G. L. Killebrew, were ap-
pointed to take into consideration the
recent Cotton Bagging Trust and to
devise some mean whereby the farm
ers could extricate themselves from
the grasp of said monopoly. The
committee, after mature thought, sub
mitted the following:
WHEREAS, The various combina-
tions and trusts formed to advance
the price Of all articles of prime neces-
sity to the farmer, and especially the
recent one on cotton bagging, should
be condemned,
Rescued, That We, the members Of
Temperance Hall Grange, No. 43, P.
of H., will not purchase any bagging
at the present exorbitant advance in
price, but will use some other material
for covering our cotton, if nothing but
&c. cottonade.
Resolved, That the Executive Com
mittee of this Grange be instructed to
investigate and see what article they
can substitute therefor and report to
this Grange at as early a day as prac-
ticable.
Resolved, That we request all mem
bers of the Oranges and Alliances
throughout the Southern States to CO.
operate with us in this action against
monopoly, and that these resolutions
be published in the Tarboro Southermer,
Roanoke Patron, PROGRESSIVE FARMER
and all other papers throughout the
Southern States friendly to the farm
ers.
These resolutions are unanimously
endorsed by Cocoa Alliance, No. 753.
Changers, Alliance men, and all other
farmers of the South, let us stand to-
gether and resist this outrage and
fight it out to the bitter end.

Collaboration. We do not blame a
man for putting on good clothes and
purchasing such articles as will give
him a good appearance; but We do
condemn all foppery and useless ex-
travagance. So l will close with
three cheers for The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and the Alliance. This is
enough to do for a member of 1872.
