Hand.

Educate the Heart, the Head and the
Hand.
ALLIANCE No. 3O8, Durham Co.
Steadily but surely onward is the
motto of our Alliance. We have
good material. We are adopting
measures to save some of the long
profits for our own pockets, that we
have been paying out for goods, &c.
We are also arranging to have first
class Alliance school, and we think we
will succeed. We want a practical,
common-sense school. We want our
girls, especially, to be educated in a
broad, practical way, SO that when
they enter the great battle of life they
will know something of it's practical
trials. We want them to nave, not
only good wholesome moral training,
but we want them surrounded with
high moral influences. We want them
to understand the great principles of
our noble order, so they may grow up
well developed and true Alliance men
and women. We want them to see
that it is no disgrace, but high honor,
to know how to work and to be able
to do it. We want to dispel and
Danish forever from their minds that
ruinous idea that there can be no
honor except in some professional
calling. We are going to have
farmers school for farmers. We
have the brain in our order, if it were
developed and cultivated. We want
the first and the last Alliance school
in the State, and will do our best to
that end.
Crops not as good as last year, but
we are thankful that we will have
enough. Fraternally, 's*''.s; =. ast. IL 81

THE STATUS OF MONOPOLY.

EXTRACTS from an Address before the Farmers
State Alliance OF Texas, by Mr.. C. N. Ousley.]
This is the status of monopoly in
America to-day. Here are scores of
combinations to defeat competition.
They exist in direct violation of the
spirit of our fundgmental law, and
daily outrage every principle of justice
and equality. Not satisfied to make
luxuries scarce and to extort tribute
from the rich, they have laid their
hands upon the necessaries of life, the
very meat and bread which makes
the muscle and sinew of the country.
Their fingers are in our sugar r-bowls;
they have tied strings around our
flour sacks, they have sealed up our
lard cans, and hung our beef beyond
our reach. They have taxed our cot
ton fields and closed up our oil wells.
They have taken toll from our wheat
bins and our cribs. They have laid
tribute on our plows and clogged up
our threshing machines.
What is this modern trust? It is
neither a corporation nor common
law trust. 1t avoids the restraints
which wise legislation has thrown
around corporations. It's articles of
agreement are jealously guarded from
public scrutiny. The courts have no
Jurisdiction over it. No reports are
necessary. No tangible record is kept
Of its proceedings. There is no limit
to the capital stock which it may use.
No restrictions are placed on the

LETTER FROM ROWAN.
ELM GROVE ALLIANCE, No. 966,
Heilip's Mill N. G..

Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear SIR This
lodge was o1ganized sometime in July
with eight members and remained
weak for sometime, but has begun to
grow within the past few weeks. We
received seven new members last Satur-
day and ten applications. We enrolled
about sixty members and still they
come. We have other lodges ready
to organize as soon as the organizer
for this part of the county gets his
commission.
We have agitated the State Agency
Fund, but have done nothing as yet,
as our members would like to know a
little more about it. Please give us
all the light you can in your next
issue. We have been ordering goods
and are well pleased with our success.
Long live the Alliance and the
paper that is working SO nobly for it.
Yours respectfully,
J. A. HELLO, Secy.

RALEIGH, N. c., NOVEMBER 20, 1888

am glad to see the cotton and tobacco
farmers coming ont in our organ in
favor of reduction of these crops.
That's right. I am glad also to see
that they are demanding reduction
in the ruinous warehouse charges.
We don't intend to sell our tobacco
on any warehouse floor where the pro-
prietor is not allowed to give US fair
showing, and where the farmer is not
allowed to reject bid if he wants to
do so.
Let our organ continue it's bold and
manly fight for US and our rights, and
let all the Alliance men stand by it,
and we will yet be heard.

PLAIN TALK FROM ORANGE.

ALLIANCE No. lS9, Nov. Ia, '98.
We are forty strong. We are
hopeful and determined. Although
we do not raise cotton, we are pro-
foundly interested in the fight between
our brethren and the trust and we
feel that right will triumph under the
sanction of God. The farmers of the
land cannot longer shut their eyes to
the fact that at last the issue is made
up squarely and fairly between the
people and monopoly. The profits of
our labor are slipping through our
fingers and every day we are growing
poorer, while the moneyed few are
growing richer every day. ~ 1
If the farmers and other working
people do not organize and work TO-
gether, we are gone. One way, and
as 1 think, the proper place to begin,
is at home. Let us be sure to make
corn, wheat, hay and bacon enough
for home supply, and to that extent
we will be independent. Then if we
have an extra dollar, we can spend it
for the education of our children. I

AS a speaker, Mr.. Pearson did not
come up to our expectations, No
graceful woven garlands of fragrant
flowers of enhancing rhetoric festooned
his thoughts in graceful and bewitch-
ing drapery. No gems of metaphor
sparkled in glistening waves of beauty
and radiance along his channel of dis
cussion. No fires of oratory flung
their thrilling famings out to warm
and to melt the feelings. No melliau-
ent voice poured his sentences out in
thrilling tides of sweetest resonant to
electrify and to enchain.- Walson

lty. BY thorough preparation is meant
fewer acres to the plow; return to the
land as near as possible the former
crop i'll available manure, supplanted
with phosphates: rotation of crops
means diversified farming, which
means independence and happiness at
home; and by resting our lands we
get the indigenous after-growth which
adds so largely to the humus in the
soil. Thorough tillage furnishes the
key to unlock the insoluble plant-food
in the soil, made available only by
contact with the air. Give up your
faith in great numbers of poor acres;
take some of your best lands, manure
and cultivate better, place emphasis
on continued improvement, thorough
propagation and good culture, rather
than the number of acres planted.
Phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen
are the component parts of plant food,
and with these elements in abundance,
you have fertile soil. Potassic and
nitrogenous manures favor production
of plants; that is to say, the stalk and
leaves, and phosphoric acid the forma-
ton of seeds. On worn lands these
substances are least abundant in the
soil, while MOST needed by plants.
Will we endeavor to improve our
worn lands, or will we continue to
deplete the fertility Of our soils by the
"all cotton system and bring our
families to poverty and want
After the discussions were ended,
the following resolutions were intro
duced by R. Jas. Powell, and adopted:
Resolved, That it is the senes Of this
meeting that clean cultured crops de-
teriorate the fertility of our lands by
the exhaustion of the humus in the
soil, and that the custom of the call
cotton crop" to the exclusion of grain
and forage crops as has been the com
mon custom with our farmers is an
tagonistic to prosperous farming.
Resolved, That we urge immediate
action by the different Sub-Alliances
of the county, looking to the system of
diversified farming as the first and
only substantial relief from extortion
in the purchase of needed supplies and
the improvement of worn lands.
Resolved, That while we recognize
the great Importance of organization
and cooperation among our class
F." home principles are first principles"
and the relief we SO greatly desire
must begin in the home management
of our business.
On motion Eugene Jones, J. J.
Rogers and R. j. Powell were ap-
pointed committee to memorable the
County Alliance to establish an Alli-
ance Institute, whose object will be to
encourage reforms iAthe home move
ment of our class.

powers of it's trustees. 1t may evade
taxation, move from State to State,
and defy the power of the courts. 1t
wields vast sums of money, and
secretly and surely, by intimidation
and bribery, corrupts legislation and
crushes out competition. 1t is ex-
tortionate, oppressive, tyrannous. It
is exacting, cruel, merciless. 1t is
faithless, heartless, soulless. 1t is a
terrible monster, born of America
rapacity, bred to American genius,
whose face is yelled, whose form is
unreal, whose coming is unknown,
whose going is shadow It's appetite
is the love of gold, which grows by
what it feeds upon. It's conscience is
the rule of the thief, who acknowledges
no disgrace but capture. It's victim
is the people; it's beneficiary the few.
1t is an endless chain, running from
the pockets of the poor to the purses
of the rich. It is a million fingered
octopod, whose tentacles touch every
home and clutch at every throat. 1t
respects no law, human or divine,
moral or commercial. 1t controls
supply and ignores demand. 1t is
travesty on trade, an insult to man
hood and menace to freedom.
These are grave charges, but they
can be sustained.
The American people will stand
great deal of imposition and fraud.
They are proverbial for patience and
tolerance. But when the limit is
reached, they are as unrelenting as
they we're indulgent If | am not
mistaken, we are approaching, if we
have not already reached that limit,
and the command to halt is now for
mulating in our throats. When that
command is issued with genuine
American earnestness, it will be
obeyed or there will be good reason
for the disobedience
In 1870 the railroads of the western
States became so exorbitant and in
tolerant that a popular opposition was
aroused which came near upsetting
them entirely. The opposition ma
terialized in the Grange organization,
which was powerful enough to control
Legislation and reduce railroad charges.
There is no doubt that the reductions
were extreme. Indeed, they caused
the bankruptcy of several roads, and
were subsequently modified or repealed
all together. But they went long
ways towards demonstrating the
farmer influence when fully aroused,
and they open the way for some sort
of railway regulation. So that now
railroad charges are controlled to a
greater or less extent in every State.
It occurs to me that the time is ripe
for another movement of this kind.
Indeed, the movement is here, and it
is not without cause If it shall do
no more than to direct public attention
to the methods of robbery which are
carried on in the name of speculation,
It will win an envious position among |
;he saving factors of our American
Institutions.

Prof. Sanborn, at a Missouri farm
ers' institute, said: :'Sir J. B. Lawes
produced from 100 pounds of food
eleven pounds of mutton and from an
amount only nine pounds of beef.
Thus it is seen that mutton can be
raised cheaper than beef, while we
can get two cents worth of wool with
each pound of mutton, or 40 to SO per
cent. in favor of sheep

cofored people.
A special to st. Louis from Hot
Springs gives additional details Of the
fatal storm at that place Thursday night.
The first building swept away was in
the north end of the town. Tie occu-
pants, Mrs. Matte Fletcher and four
children, colored, were drowned, but
her husband escaped. John Franklin
rescued all injured man from tho
swollen torrent in the same locality.
The bodies of woman and 4 one year
old babe we've found in q drift. An
aged couple named Harrison occupied
small cottage near the Arlington stable.
and the force of the water caused the
building to collapse and the wife killed.
There were several lost whose names
have not been nsrertained. The victims
are principally poor people living in
small cot,uges which could not stand
against the storm.

Yesterday was "a epoch in the his
tory Of Hot Bprings. There ruin and
wreck mopt the vision everywhere, and
nothing hns ever been known to COM
pare with the result. The frightful dis
aster was caused by n wHterspont. and
the valley was swept with II mighty
tidal wave. Tie loss to property is
fearful, while the sacrifice of life IL
appalling. Swift and terrible was the
visitation, and without warning. The
people we're awakened from their
slumber to find themselves threaten, d
with destru ,tion by the mad waves. 1t
is said thirteen people hive been
drowned, of whom nine have boon re-.
covered, anl inquests hold on the
