many cases what might otherwise prove
to he disastrous gale may be trans
formed into fair wind. Again, should
you be caught IN heavy gale without
due warning. the great power OF the fast
ship renders her much superior sea
boat, in ,smuch az witt the judicious ase
of that power yeu are enabled to keep
your ship 10 the most favorable lposition
all the time, while ship of small power
would be continually falling off and
bringing the sea abeam, rendering her.
self liable to suffer damage aboat the
decks as she came to the wind again.
In ordinary storms fast ship will
get through the bad weather in half the
time slow one will, and in dull, cloudy
weather, ssch as one meets at certain
seasons of the year for days together
without sun, moon or stars, fast ship,
from her greater speed, will be able to
make safer and more direct courses than
the slow one. In making land you are
often able to save your daylight by q
fast ship, and in making port you may
save the tide and enter when slow ship
would have to anchor outside and face
all the contingencies that might arise in
that period. Iquote these instances to
show why am so fully convinced in my
own mind that the fast ship is SO much
safer than the slow one, and that 10 the
former the risk is minimized to passen-
gers. crews. owners and underwriters. -

. A mighty revolution is moving
throughout the civilized world. It's
progress is not marked by flaming
sword or heralded by the shout OF
battle. It is peaceful and bloodless,
but it is no less earnest, no less power
full because it moves under the spot
less banner of peace and good will.
The industries of the world have been
thrown out of balance, and agricul-
ture, the greatest of all, is the greatest
sufferer. Under despotic governments
the subjects have no hope for relief,
except through terrible and bloody
revolution. Under our form of gov.
eminent the ballot is our arbiter, and
to that, over seven millions of farmers
propose to appeal. They feel and
know that many of their most grievous
burthens have come through partial,
discriminating and unjust Legislation.

They propose to remedy it. They
propose to make their voice heard in
the halls of our State. and National
legislatures. All over this land the
farmers are making known their wants
and wishes, and with such cool courage
and determination that none who
know the pluck and spirit of that class
Of our people, when once aroused, can
doubt their ultimate triumph. They
are terribly in earnest. They intend
to demand their rights. They intend
to inaugurate reforms, but only in
strict conformity to the eternal prin-
of equity and Justice. - l.na

Col, L. L. PoLK.-Dear Ser
Some time ago I saw an advertise
.ment of an insurance company in
Raleigh. l have lost it, and cannot
remember the name of the company.
The policy was non-forfeitable after
three premiums had been paid. You
will confer a great favor by placing
me in communication with such agent.

soon. Yours, &C., 81 sX.+X.X.a
Il, We regret to say that it is out of
our power to give our friend the in
formation he 50 much desires. There
is, not an insurance company repre-
sented in our advertising columns.
We desire to inquire of the manyin-
surance agents in this city whether
they do not think it would be to their
advantage to keep their business cards
standing in our columns in ordercthat
they may secure portion of the pat
ronage Of the thousands Of subscribers

THE BAGGING TRUST.

The farmers of the South are in q
dilemma. The shrewd and grasping
monopolists, knowing that the credit
system so largely practiced in the
South would force the farmers to
market their cotton early, waited until
they thought they could force them to
buy jute bagging. Indeed a large
dealer in New York wrote n of our
leading citizens last week and said we
might kick, but we would have to
come to it. The prince of this tribe
of robbers was before a committee of
Congress last Friday and admitted
that jute butts were lower in this
month of August than they had been
in ten years. They get the raw ma
terial cheaper and yet they corner on
the product and advance it 100 per
cent. He said if the duty on bagglng
and jute was not changed perhaps the
trust would go out of existence, but
the needs of the farmer "were abso-
lutte and imperative, and he must have
the bagging no matter whatsthe cost"
In other words, I'VE know that the
farmer is obliged to buy it, and we
will make ham pay all he can bear"
This is the spirit tsat actuates these
robbers. The Alliance men of Florida,
Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina,
Tennessee and North Carolina have
made up their minds motto use a single
gard of hts 6aggiag if they can possibly
use anything else. The merchants
will buy cotton goods, or Burlaps or
Gunny or Dundee hagging, or any
thing to aid the farmers, and the in
surance men will carry the insurance.
So we see no need for the farmers to
be uneasy. Let such as are forced to
sell to meet obligations to the mer-
chants, go to their creditors and ask
their aid until the cotton can. be put
up. A few merchants there may be
who, having laid in their supply of
jute bagging at a moderate price be-
fore the Trust fixed the price, are try

ing to make the farmers believe that
cotton put up I'M anything else than.
iute bagging is not merchaptable,"
and that insurance companies will not
insure it, -
Indeed we have seen such state
ments in the papers. The cotton mer.
chants of Raleigh-those with whom
we have conversed ION the subject
will buy all the cotton they a get
and give the full market price, if it is
wrapped in a cotton covering l.
We believe this outrage win prove
a blessing in disguise-te-the South.
The way to fight . trust lis with,a
trust We al make bagging out of
pine straw; we'can make it of the bark
of the cotton stalk; we can grow the
jute and make it of that; or better
than all, we can make it of the cotton
itself and we predict that in less than
a twelve month, there will be estab-
lishments in the South for making
our own bagging.a We wish the
farmers of South were in position to
say that they would use nothing but
cotton bagging; that they would not
buy a bag of corn or meal OF oats or
grain or guano, unless it was put
up in cotton bags. Our advice to the
farmers is not to buy a single gard Of
jute 6agging # they can possibly qpy0id At.
1t is not known to most of our farmers
that about thirty pounds is deducted
from every bale of American cotton
that is shipped to Liverpool, and con-
~sequently the farmer loses that in the
price he receives, and if we can cover
it with a lighter covering of cotton, of
course a deduction will be made in
proportion to the weight of such Gov
ering, but we will have this advantage:
the cotton bagg1ng will have a stand
ard commercial value after it is taken
off the bale, for it can be used for
various purposes. We notice that a
bale of cotton put up in pine straw
bagging was sold in Wilmington last
week and subjected to the severe test
of the compress, and it stood the test
finely. We are a people Of wonderful
resources and expedients, and if we
will but remember the ordeal of the
war which brought forth our powers
of invention and of endurance and
will resolve to be independent of bag
ging trusts, we will readily discover
the 9 and the ability for accomp-
fishing it. ed" ''-l '.'a .i'.

selected as candidates to represent our
people in our next General Assembly.
AS a rule, theyIare men of solid, sub
stantial worth and character. The
great mass Of our voting and tax-pay-
ing population feel that 'tthey have
fallen upon evil times" and much of
it is due to partial and unjust legisla-
ton, and they-are casting about for
the best and purest men to make our
laws. We hope the farmers in all
sections of the State, will secure. the
election of good, honest, straightfor
ward citizens as representativsLmen
who cannot be bull dozed nor bribed
men of convictions and with the
manliness to stand by those convic-
tons lions AA4M.,AA =
& The Wake County Alliance adopted
a resolution asking the merchants of
Wake not to handle jute 'bagging.
Nearly all Of oar, Raleigh merchants
are standing by. the farmers. Barbee
& Bsrbee have bought several thou
sand yards of Burlaps, which makes a
neat and substantial covering; indeed
it is the same style of covering used
by our fathers years ago, It is now
on the road and they think they will
be able to sell it at a price not to exceed
eight cents per yard, according to
quality. Our Raleigh cotton buyers
will pay full market price for cotton,
whether wrapped in cotton or Burlaps.
Again, we say to our farmers, do not
buy a gard Of Jute 6agging If you can
possibly Avoid 1T, Let the Business
Agents of the various Alliances be

brethren in Kidding themselves of this

Our Legislators, our Judges and
other public officials, ride with free

pie must have it. What say you?
Read the demands over and ove
again and ask yourself if they be
right, if they be just and if the best
interests of the whole people would
be subserved by such laws. II you
agree with the Alliance that they are
right and just, then the question arises:
how can we secure these laws ? The
Interstate Farmers Association,
which met one week after in this city,
passed a resolution without a dissent

way. 1t reads thus: 5;ga,.
y. Resolued, That we recommend to
the farmers throughout the country
that wisdom and self-interest should
prompt them to secure as far as pos
sible the selection of those in their.
respective parties as candidates for
State and Federal Legislative Offices
who will pledge themselves to further
advance, in every legitimate way, the
great agricultural interests q of the
country. r~.
The State Alliance was composed
of our most substantial and patriotic
citizens and taxpayers. The Inter
State Association was composed of
the same kind Of material, represent
ing nine Southern States. You have
the opinion of the Alliance rs to some
of our needs in North Carolina, and
you have the suggestion of the Inter
State Association as to the plan by
which your needs may be met. Will
you do it ~. .,...
Let every farmer in the State con-
stitute himself into a committee of
one to call on the candidates for the
Legislature in his county and show
him these demands and tell him they
are put forth by not less than 0 1000
voters and taxpayers, and ask him
how he stands on each and all of them.
Let there be no evasion or lodging,
but force them to speak out OF. these
questions. = If candidates are not
already selected, be sure togo to your
primary meeting and put these ques-
tons to those who are candidates for
the nomination. Let the people show
that they intend to be heard, Do you,
