wanting in that true delicacy which should
always mark the high-toned gentleman
But there is point beyond which forbear-
ance ceases to be a virtue. and for the
benefit of all inquiring Thomases or Tom
ulies, we close this letter with a quotation
Point de Zeie.
Now what DO the people think OF a man
who is guilty of such slander, and whose
own words retute all he says Is he not a
self convicted slanderer1 Do they not
think that he would say anything. true or
untrue, if he thought it would give him
partisan advantage? Judge Fowle says
deliberately that such man is A LIAR
AND A SCOUNDREL.
What do the people say
Dockery an Inconsistent Alliance Man.
Col O. H. Dockery, while claiming to be
an Alliance man and protesting To believe
the Alliance to be the grandest organiza-
tion in existence next TO the Christian re-
ligion. Yet he advocates Monopoly, Trusts
and High Tariff. Whereas the National
Alliance in its declaration Of principles
adopted the following: We shall teaciI
unfalterng hostility to all class legislation,
the tyranny and oppression of monopoly,
excessive taxation, the lavish expenditure
of public monies and to every species #
wrong and abuses practiced in Gov. RI
ment affairs. and shall denource and ex-
/ pose fraud and corruption III public otteiai
! places whenever discovered, no matter
/ from what source they may come.
/ our State Alliance also passed the fol
| loving resolution: Whereas as members
! Of this State jurisdiction We are pledged
/ 10 secure cheaper living for the farmers:
| and whereas one of the leadin-- met hods
/ TO secure for ourselves this cheap living
! has been declared by the National Alliance
/ to consist IN such a revision of the tariff
! as will lay the heaviest burdens on the
| luxuries and the lightest on neceSsaries Of
! life and as Will reduce the incomes from
| imports to a strictly revenue basis" and
| whereas the demands of our fraternity re
! Quire that we should be yiglant and active
10 giving force and effect to this demand
of our National Alliance and whereas il
! IS the bounden duty of every true Alliance
man to stand TO and abide by this declara-
I tion of the National Alliance. Now, there
| fore, be it resolved, That we do hereby re
new our obligations to abide by ard give
/ effect to this declaration of priciple> as
/ announced by the National Alliance. Re
/ solved That as true and Steadfast Alliance
men We pledge ourselves to give neIt hel
! aid. support, or comfort, nor vote for any
person or persons who cannot and will not
cooperate with this Alliance in standing
| by and giving practical effect to the de
mand Of said National Alliance
Now while willing to accord to every
man the full, free and uutrammeled exer-
else of his religious and political views
yet we cannot see how any man, claiming
TO be an Alliance man, can consistently
advocate Il high protective tariff and fos
ter mouo;0iies and trusts in the face OF
above quoted declarations fir, III the high, s,
| authority recognized by al! true Alliance
men. No one knew better than Col
Dockery that ignorance Of the law is nc
excuse for a violation Of the law. Hence
his excuse at MOoresviile that he had not
heard of the Alliance resolutions on the
subject does not by any means eXculpat
! him, and We would earnestly call uLon
hun publicly TO declare himself either ut
terly disclaiming or openly espousing and
endorsing the principles and teachings o
the Farmers Alliance
