to be always polite and always truthful Yet
SO clear is the moral sense on this point that
no character in society IS SO suspected anC

NOTES FROM MIDDLE CREEK
ALLIANCE.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have seen nothing
as yet in your paper from this section,
from our Alliance. We have been IN
working order now since the first of
September, 1887. Our lodge has IN
creased until at this time it numbers
some sixty members. We number
among our brethren some Of the most
substantial farmers and mechanics Of
this section. We are situated in the
midst of a fine farming country, a Sec
ton capable Of producing everything
known to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture at Washington. Why then
is it that for years the working men
have been oppressed ? The answer is,
because of speculation and monop-
oly." Down then with spectators
and monopolists, and up with l6
ounces to the pound and SO inches to
the yard. In other words, simple
honesty, and fair dealing is motto.
There is an old adage, and true,
which says: "There is strength in
unity" Let US then stand together
"With hearts for every fate, still
achieving, still pursuing learning to
labor and to wait" ave should
trust no future, however pleasant, but
act in the living present heart within,
and God overhead" Acting then
upon this motto, we should stand
ready to assist each other in all laud-
able undertakings. We have no dis
position to make war upon any class
of men We ask only simple justice,
which for yeals has been denied us.
Self-preservation is the first law of
nature, this is admitted by all men,
and we predict that in years to come
the builders of the Farmers Alliance
will be recognized as the faithful guar
dians of a country, dear alike to all
professions and to all classes of men.
And may the Alliances now being Or
ganized stand like beacons on a long
line Of coast to warn US of the dan
gers ahead.
The many candidates now being
pressed for Office in our State are wor-
thy, without exception, and far be it
from me to utter one word Of detrac-
ton in regard to either of them. No
one has a greater admiration for the
noble sons Of North Carolina than
your correspondent, but all things
being equal, why should not Alexan-
der be our next Governor? X.
