THE tariff bill is becoming SO much
of nuisance to the democracy that
very few are left to DO it honor. Were
it not for the suicidal result the dem
ocracy would most gladly postpone its
farther consideration until after cleo

deal more than they could masticate,
and the whole democratic party find
it difficult to digest the mass. The

rejecting the whole mess next Novem-

Trade is interesting itself in the deep

the interests of Arkansas Pass are not

THE Fort Worth Gazette can find no
other criticism to make upon the vice.
presidential nomination than the fol-
lowing:
"The republicans will find Levi
MOrtOn's nomination a misfit. Time
will show him to be cobbler whose
work, however, well he may wax the
ends, and despite all pains, will be
worthless at last, resulting in a shoe
row to climb the step that leads to the
vice-presidency. Mr.. Morton will feel
that the patron saint of his young
manhood, st. Crispin, was easier
served than the tickle goddess, 'Popu-
lar FavOr.'n
The LIGHT reproduces for the pur-
pose of showing to what straits the
best journal of the party in Texas is
driven in the effort to discredit the
nominees of the republican party.
How utterly puerile and insignificant
such squib as the above will look
six months hence when Morton will
read his title clear to the vice-presi-
dency of this nation. In any position
that he has hitherto filled, he has
been found worthy and well qualified,
and he will not be found wanting
now. 1t will not do to sneer at cob
blers. There is nothing that wears
like leather. The strings of cob
bler's apron are plenty strong enough
to tie hand and foot the fiabby fieshi-
ness of the Fat Boy of Buffalo.

Ordinarily, party platforms are po-
litical weather vanes. They show how
the popular tide is heading, and each
seeks to get advantage of the other,
by mounting it first. There are, how
ever, some questions which the ordi-
nary politicians are afraid to tackle.
They are afraid they are 'loaded" and
might blow somebody up. For in
stsnce, have our readers noted what a
dreadful silence hangs about both the
Democratic and Republican platforms
adopted recently in the two conven-
ions in this city, OF the important
question of a Railroad Commission?
We move to amend each of these
platforms by the following, to be in
serted as a separate clause: "That
we are in favor of the establishment
of a Railroad Commission for the
regulation of freights and tariffs on the
railroads of this State"
Will some n second the motion ?
There are at least 200, 900 men in the
State ready to vote for it. How manv
farmers were on the committees which
framed these platforms 2. Will some
one tell us ? 80 ns.z

ALLIANCE SEALS.

We again call the attention of the
Subordinate and County Alliances of
our State to the absolute necessity of
having an Alliance Seal. We cannot
do business without them. It should
be kept carefully so that no one could
use it except the one authorized by
the Alliance to do so. It is the legal
and official signature of the Alliance.
In all our business transactions we
must have something to prevent i'm
position. We must have something
by which we may know that we are
dealing with the Alliance or it's legally
authorized agent. The seal has been
adopted as the safest, simplest and
best method. See our advertising
columns and send for a seal for your

COUNTY ALLIANCE MEETINGS
A Word to the Secretaries.


The regular quarterly meetings of
the various County Alliances will be
held on Friday, the 9Th day of July.
The following is a list of the counties
In which County Alliances have been
organized: Alamance, Arson, Cum
berland, Brunswick, Bladen, Colum-
bus, Chatham, Cabarrus, Craven,

1t is very important that County
Secretaries make reports to the State
Secretary as soon as practicable after
their meetings.
The State Secretary has sem to
each of the County Secretaries the
new Semi-Annual Word to be used
after the first day of July. 1t is hoped
that they will communicate the same
to the Sub-Secretaries as soon as pos
sible.
County Secretaries will write to the
State Secretary and give the name and
postoffice address of the delegate and
alternate elected to the State Alliance
as soon as convenient after the county
meeting.

OF the University of that State, which,

appear to have been, first, to make the
institution a State University in fact,

and make it an institution which all
the people of Tennessee could feel
was their own, a University for West
Tennessee and Middle Tennessee lust

with the laws establishing it, more
technical education, agricultural and
mechanical, especially; and thirdly, to
a better system of govern

improvements have been made, and
three handsome new buildings are
now in course of erection. Special
attention is drawn to the personnel of
the new faculty. After the different

THE FAIR.

The Alamance Fair Association met
June 23d ult., at Burlington, Presi,
dent Walter Z. Holt in the chair, to
take steps, looking to the holding of a
County Fair during the coming fall.
The committee which had been pre-
viously appointed to solicit subscrip-
tons to the capital stock of the Asso-
citation reported that one hundred and
forty-four shares had been subscribed.
On motion, it was ordered that one
man from each township be appointed
to further canvass for subscriptions to
stock in the Association, such solicit
ors to be allowed two dollars per day
for expenses, and to report at the next
meeting to be held at Burlington,
July 18th, 1888, at 2 o'clock, p. m.
The committee to procure charter and
draft bylaws, not being ready to re-
port, was continued. A committee of
five was appointed to select the grounds
and make arrangements for a suitable
place for holding the Fair, and, after
authorizing the secretary to buy books
and have all necessary printing done,
the Association adjourned to meet on
the 9TH day of this month, at which
time, doubtless, the days for holding
the Fair will be definitely fixed. From
the earnestness and zeal manifested by
the people, and the liberality with
which they are subscribing for stock,
we are fully convinced the Alamance
Fair will be a grand success.

resignation. You should have gone to
your nominating convention, whether
you be a Democrat, or Republican, or
Prohibitionist, or a Greenbacker, and
kept such men from being nominated.
Whatever may be your party, you
should see that the best, the wisest
and the most patriotic men of your

should you be very careful in the i'm

represent you in our State Legislature.

would appear to some, to be outrageous
and audacious for a farmer to assume
to know anything about needed legis-
~lation, but those are, the very men
whom the farmers and other good
people of this land must teach a lesson,
and in this year of Grace, 1888, is a
good time to begin it. Senator Vance
said, in his splendid. speech at the
Cumberland Fair last fall, said that
Legislation, State and National, is now
largely controlled through the infu-
ence of the lobby. The taxpayers Of
our State want to see a legislature as
semble in Raleigh that will have con-
victions on matters affecting their in
t~erests, and which will have the man
illness to vote those convictions, with
out regard to the oficious dictation:
of hired Or interested lobby bosses.
To get such a body, the taxpayers and;
good people must select their can
didates and elect them. Do not select
them because they belong to a certain.
class OF calling, but because they are
reliable, honest, faithful, sensible,
patriotic citizens and are sincerely de-
voted to the best interests of the peo-
pie of North Carolina. Go to your
primaries, no matter what party you
belong to, and do your best to secure
men of that type, and you can get
them.
This is your business, and no one in
all the world will attend to it like your
self. So in this year of political ex-
element, keep cool; don't lose sight
of your interests, but keep an eye on
your business and attend to it.

THE FARMERS TO CAPTURE
81 90 RALEIGH.

@T"%s
Four notable events in agricultural
circles will transpire in u beautiful
city within the next three months.
The first will be the annual meeting of
THE FARMERS STATE ALLIANCE,
on the 18th day of August next. This
body will be made up of some of the
best and most progressive farmers of
the State, and in many respects it
will be the most important meeting of
farmers ever held in the State. Many
visiting brethren from our own and
other States will be present. The
next will be the - -
NORTH CAROLINA FRUIT FAIR,
under the auspices Of the North Caro-.
lima State HORTICULTURAL Society. The
Fair will be held in Metropolitan Hall
and will open on the 18th and con-
tinue through the 10th of August.
Over $500 will be awarded in cash
premiums. Occurring at the same
time as the meeting of the State ALI
ance, we may expect a large crowd.
Committees to secure reduced rates on
our railroads, are at work, and the re-
suit of their efforts will be published
in due time. 1t is to be regretted that
the Fair, where doubtless a magnif-
cent display of our splendid fruits will
be made, cannot be extended only a
few days, so az to embrace the meet
ing of the
INTERSTATE FARMERS ASSOCIATION,
which will assemble here on the 2lst
of August. W. would be glad for
the large body of representative men
which will be here from. the eleven
Southern States, to see the fruits of
u grand old State. But the good
citizens of Raleigh will give them a
warm and cordial welcome. 1t will
be a body of unselfsh, earnest, patri-
otto, broad minded Southern farmer
gentlemen who are seeking to elevate
and advance the agricultural interests
of the South, and we hope to see hun
dreds of our good people present on
that occasion, to aid and encourage
this grand work by their presence and
counsel. Then next on the list is u
ANNUAL STATE FAIR,
which will be held on the 10th, 18th,
18th and 10Th of October, at which
time we may expect a tremendous
of our people and a "good
time" for everybody. The officers of
the Fair are working quietly but most
earnestly to make the Fair of 1888
the most successful in all departments
of any held in its history.
And should these meetings have the
effect to inspire our farmers with a
appreciation of their calling,
and of the great agricultural capabili-
Ties OF their State and of the necessity
friendly legislation to foster and
develop them, we may see another
meeting here about the first Monday
n January next in which the farmers
will figure conspicuously. Verify, a
more hopeful day for the farmer
seems about to dawn.
