still remains unpaid. This is prouis;
OF Dallas which 1t has not carried out
/ state this for the Information OF Mr.
Conner, and as he pledges himself noN
for everything tast was rot carried out
We Will tske steps to secure the fulfill
ment OF the oblig alton. This Is public
Acknowledgement be. will no doub. be
very glad to comply with.
AS to the article Of j. T. Trezsvsnt, be
commences with evident spleen, and
starts into personal attack on this
management, OF whom so far as the write,
Is concerned, he must be totally ignorant,
never having met tie gentleman. he
undertakes to stste great deal about q
business Of which he shows he Is totally
Ignorant as plainly as ne does. his lack OF
fairness and justice. No shrek vas made
In the secret circulze bscSuss Wa had 10
credit, and no day has passed that we
have not been offsred credit by dealers In
various places; but sucn credit was Of
Jared at tie sacrifice OF principle, which
Is not in accord with the policy of this
management, and which Is to accept 70
line Of credit from any house. This bus :
ness Started cut on sne plan to purchase
on the market regularly, and expected to
secure funds By discounting The paper
! placed with ua 10 meet these obligations.
1t has pursued that policy without any
exceptions. Few men making aDy claim
to varscity or honor would care TO assert
in pubic that any men were "totally IN
acq tainted with the rules OF business,
heretofore unknown commercially" when
such assertion were calculated to
damage such men If they at
F, the same time ware unscQuainted
with them, never mad met sucn men,
rever had been in theig Office, and knew
seems 10 us at lesst, extremely grstui-
tous. And further and Still more
| grssuitoue statement Is to s.y that we
have secured independence "by the
| promises 90 psy Of farmers scattered all
| ever the state, most Of 1t worthless"
| This Ia direct slsndeI on our people snd
statement which Is unhe siIatingly de-
nouoced az fslse, and the gentlemen
stating it never applied to n, to see the
psper, snd 20 the pest Of my knoWlsdge,
| nsyer saw 1t. The gsnIism,n's aIgu-
ment as 20 the policy ct the Alliance, in
placing lis present management in shat
position, is entirely gra,uitous, and reeds
no response. The Alliance has iull power,
ard will as soon IS convinced Of a mis-
| take, make such changes in that psrsicu-
lar Is 1t deems necessary. His state
ment. "This circular Of these three Men
| is an effort to conceal their lack CT
AGILITY, and to hide .Tom the honest toll
ers whose paper they have used as col
lateral the facts, by srousipg class OF
| pre- iudice wholly without foundation, and
for w3ich they deserve the scorn and con-
| tempt OF sill good men," is an attack
which, comtpg from utter strangers,
eviaces go much spleen and feeling, that it
should DC carefully res! and noted by all
| who consider this sunject. Il deserve no
reply, for the same reasons Shove stated,
as this is 10 personal defense.
AS to the statement OF J. M. Wendell
Kin, it needs no reply, either, IS he con.
forms TO what NO doubt ha believes Sd
honest business ts.sment. We simply
desire to remark, that few men In bust.
ness would CAFE TO make such a State
ment sbo1t rival business in the same
line The same nay be said CT the Ault-
msn, Miller Company, by c.; A.. Hardy,
manager, and that Of a. B. TsbeT, Texas
agent for the Deere, Msnsur & Co.; ESQ
G FGk'es, msEsgsr of the Weir Plow
Company, sieo G. A. Ksating and ". q.
Hatch, general agent for the M. Co1m.ck
Harvester Company. We are not Tespon-
slole Tor what the above parties do rot
know, and cannot be 60 held. The bust
ness management Of the Exchange have
received personal snd very courteous
treatment from large number Of the
citizens Cf Dallas, and with those whom
this contest ss a business matter has
waged the fe:cest, the most friendly re-
laticns las constantly existed.
The Texas Farmer. paper claiming to
be the crssn Of the Grange, but run by
gentleman who, evidently from his ssseI-
tiops, does not have one pulse beat in
sympathy with the sgriculturiss, found
itself about to sink into oblivion and die
from LACK Of circulation, and has been
for several months masking "oase
signs to catch the eye," with
view Of eliciting soma response from
this corporation, but it Is the policy to
let the response come to thst paper, from
its pretended patrons, the Changers, and
it is coming with fearful speed and cer-
taWiy. we Spurn 1t as TOOL OF cor
poration and monopolistic power, that
sold It's birthright for mess of pottege,
and has become the Benedict Arnold OF
= true cause, and we will pass on cur

beautiful harvest moon is to the howl
Of the attenusted yellow cur.
WITH an apology to you, Mr.. Editor,
for asking so much of your space,
