TO THE

The more we see and learn of the
Farmers Alliance the more we are in
clined to speak of it's merits and rec
commend it as the best thing ever Of
fered our farmers. 1t is certainly the
best and most thoroughly organized
body that it has ever been u lot to
become acquainted with. 1t shows
that wisdom and true brain work are
it's founders. Some of our merchants
however seem to think because they
are Ineligible that it is a movement
directed entirely against their interest.
In this they are entirely mistaken. 1t
seeks not to array m class against
another, not to benefit one class by
pulling down another but merely to
protect and benefit the farmer and to
lessen his burdens in life. 1t seeks to
adopt a cash system of trade that will
do away with the mortgage system.
Viewing these features of the Alliance
in a casual way the merchants may
suppose that it will prove to his detri-
ment but while it prevents bis making
such enormous profits on his goods it
will ultimately prove a blessing ever
to him for it will give him more trade
and much easier business with less
vexation and annoyance than most
merchants now experience. Where
the Alliance is more thoroughly or
ganized than in our own State cotton
yards are being established where the
farmer a deposit his product and on
his certificate of deposit it is so ar
ranged with the bank that he is al
lowed to draw three fourths of it's
value in cash. This arrangement en-
ables him to hold his cotton and other.
products and not be obliged to sell at
a sacrifice as many were compelled to
do last fall. By concert Of action then
the price a be raised to something
like the cost of production. The mer.
chant calculates the cost of his wares
before he sells, why not the farmer do
the same ? Just as long as the manu-
ufacturer is allowed to price the farm
er's goods the same as his own, just
so long will the farmer suffer at
the hands of the manufacturer, be-
cause the farmer is consumer as well
as purchaser. 1E
Already have offers been made from
fe1tilizing companies. to furnish fertil-
izer to the Alliance at reduced rates
and the movers confidently expect a
still greater reduction. Boards of
trade are being established. in every
county organized who are negotiating
with manufacturers and wholesale
houses for supplies, necessary for the
agriculturalist. W. do not see there
fore why the farmers shall not be
greatly benefited by this move in the
right direction. 1t is a stubborn and
lamentable fact that our farmers as a
class are becoming poorer and poorer
every year and it seemed that there
was no chance only for many of them
to become veritable serfs as is the case
with the laboring class of Ireland to-
day; but we thank God there yet is
hope, there is yet a" balm in Gilead."
we snrge the farmers then every
where { unite themselves in this
grand scheme for their redemption. If
you have, no Alliances near you where
You can join then call on one of our
organizers and start one at once. The

Carpet Baggers.

If there was any one phrase more than another that was used to ''fHe the south" and bring oCium on the repub- lcan party for ten or fifteen years after the close of the war, ii was "carpet-bag- gers" and "carpet-bsggIng." No mat ter how competent, how deserving and how popular man might be if he was no, to the manor born he was not fit to hold an office by appontment or election m any one of rhe reconstructed ststes. It was then that the republican OK was ,orlng he democratic bull, and 1t was then that that animals believing vas heard from Maine 10 Georgia and from the Atlantic to the Pacific seahoard Those days and southern carpet-bag- eers' have passed away, and the south IS better of than 1t was At any previous time in the history of this nation.
 The.democfacy IS Tn power again, anc and with its advent no democrat ever dreamed of the "carpet-bagger" being brought 10 the surface or fostered into political power. But the ways Of demo- crats are past finding out, and the love If power and the greed for office IS so great that they will sacrifice principle, honor and usage 70 obtain them

The Eureka Sentinel, the leading democratic paper Tn the state ot Nevada edited and published by Archibald Skillman, a democrat from away oack' has dropped cn Grover's h'tle game Tn making a sort of penal colony of the state and sending ift of political car petbaggers from the east. Might not A,;zooa enter tbe same complaint and use ,he same evidence and argument m maintaining t. We copy the closing paragraph of the SentinePs two column article.
 i've say most unhesita'lngly that It IS inherent of the admlnlstratiD Dn to nii the few federal offices Tn Nevada with per sone whatever ih: reason, imported from other states. IL IS grossly outrage ous from cal democratic view. oP- pos,tion 10 the carpetbasger and carpet baaIsm have been cardinal princilces or cur faith here for twenty years. Ih oui local contests We have fought our battles on ,his ground. The president could not stab his party more fatally Tn Nevada than by joining in the effort to hll our offices with non-residents of the state. If he cares nothing for Nevada, he should at least have some little consideration for men here who are as true and as steao- fast m the democratic party as he or any Inf those whom he has called around nifn as counse!ors and advisers. The attituoe of the chief executive on silver, tne dismantIing of our Carson mlnt, the dismemberment cf our revenue district, the remorseless cutting of our mall ser vice, and at last greater than them all, the importation Of carpetbaggers to h'' our offices, has reduced the party m NC vada 10 such pitable condition that a democrat can hardly hold his head up and look man squarely in tire face"
