DEMANDS OF THE NATIONAL
. FARMERS ALLIANCE UPON
CONGRESS.

!, Below we print in full the demands
made by the National Farmers ALI
ance in convention at Shreveport.
They are sound to the core and show
in ringing languageNthe more impor-
tant purposes of this great body, and
the ends they propose to achieve.
This body was composed of farmers
representing all the Southern States,
and the resolutions appended were
passed unanimously, i.
Resolved, That we the National
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, in convention as
sembled, advocate and endorse the fol
lowing principles as in accord with the
sentiments and demands of the tillers
of the soil:
lst. We demand, first, the recogni-
ton, by incorporation, of trades,
unions, cooperative stores and such
thoer associations as may be organized
by the industrial classes to improve
their financial condition, or promote
their general welfare.
I'd. We demand that the all public
lands be held in small bodies, not ex'
ceeding three hundred and twenty
acres to each purchaser, for actual set
tiers, on easy terms of payment.

WHEREAS, The manufacturers of
acids, and their agents, have organ
lied against the Farmers Alliance and
refuse to sell except through agents,
at exorbitant prices; therefore be it
Resozved, That this Alliance will
use no acids this season that pass

other words, we will use no more acids
until we can get them at a reasonable
price. w. d. HARRY,

THE DEPUTY ORGANIZERS
OF THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

Many complaints have been made to me,
that deputy organizers are not organizing
the territory assigned them with that dill
egence we lave a right to expect. That
some appear to be waiting for farmers to
assemble, and send a special committee to
the deputy organizer, to come and organ
ize them, instead of going into each neigh
borhood, and explaining the Alliance to
the farmers, and inducing them to organ
ize. Several deputy organizers have made
no report to the State Secretary since
their appointment. Some have made but
few reports, Indicating they have spent
but little time in the work. To those
whose reports to the State Secretary
show that they have worked diligently, I
must say, well done; the Alliance is proud
of you. IF any deputy organizer finds
that he cannot work up the territory ASST
gned him in a reasonable time it is his duty,
to either ask for the appointment Of n
or more assistants, or resign. 1t is not
right to hold the Office of deputy organizer
unless you are going to convass every neigh
borhood, either individual2y or by an assist
ant. We cannot reap the greatest benefits
Of the business features Of the Alliance,
until our State is thoroughly organized.
Upon you rests that responsibility. Push
the work.

REPORT OF D. H. SENTER,
DEPUTY ORGANIZER FOR
HARNETT co.

Col l.. L. Polk, SEc'Y S. F. A.:
In compliance with Section 3, Ar
ticle 9, of the Constitution, l beg
leave to offer the following report of
my work as Deputy Organizer.
According to previous appointment,
I visited Troyville neighborhood on
February 10th. It being a very dis
agreeable time, [ found but few out
to hear me. They being very anx-
ious, l proceeded to organize with
even members, of which the follow
ing are the officers: Vice-President,
J. NJ. Deming; Secretary, j. A. Stew
art; Door Keeper c.. R. Stewart;
Asst. Door Keeper, W.oF. Beasley;
Serg't-at-Arms, R. G. Stewart.
Proceeding thence to Juniper Aca''-
envy, on February 18th we IL :
quite a number of enterprising farrr-
ers who gave us their undivided attcl
ton for the space of half a n hour. y 9
there organized Wit Alliance with %
members, of which the following are
the officers: President, j. W. Avery,
Vice-President, VIM. Byrd; Secretary,
j. @. Johnson; Treasurer, w. y. COl-
vile; Lecturer, E. B. Johnson; Asst.
Lecturer, n. w. Byrd; Chaplain,
Martin Byrd; Door Keeper, Julius
Johnson; Asst. Door Keeper, }. L.
Byrd; Ser'gt-at.Arms, L. NJ. Ryals.
On February 18th | addressed the
farmers of Averysboro, but failed to
organize. At their earnest sollclta
ton I addressed them again on the
18th. | failed to organize again, but
I think they will organize in the neal
future. Neil S. Stewart, the leading
spirit of this community, is a strong
advocate of the Alliance.

ment of the law, and President Alexander
urges that all organizers who have not
done so, will report at once to this office
the work performed by them since they
received their Commission.

agreed to are the following: Mexican

the storage of waters, $3.50, 1000; Congress
sional Library building, 100000; ZOO

The movement of standard dollars.
from the different mints and sub-treas-
uries to Washington, for storage in the
large new silver vault, will begin to-
morrow. Shipments will be made in lots
of $50, 900 day and will continue until
the vault is filled. AS the vault has a
capacity OF $1OO, 900, 900 in silver dollars,
it will take aboutlsix months time to fill it
at the rate of shipment decided upon.
Shipment will be confined to coin now
stored at Philadelphia, New York, New
Orleans and San Francisco. 1t is esti-
mated that about $2O,0O0,000 will be
brought from each Of the scities named.

is overwhelmingly Republican has
been exploded. OF the settlers
from the East and Northwest
nearly half is Democratic, while all
the new settlers from the Southern States
are devoted adherents of Cleveland and
Thurman. The Prohibition vote is going
to be larger than most people believe,
and seven-eighths of it is Republican.
The Democratic County ticket is far
stronger and the Republican County
ticket is far weaker than was at first sup
posed. Multitudes of Republicans ad-
NIT this. Take it for all in all, the Dem.
ocratic sky is Frightening all around. 1t
only needs the advent of the grand old
Roman in our midst to shatter the Re-
publican temple all around-from turret
to foundation stone. Not even Morton
bar'l of hogshead proportions can change
the drift of things political. To cap all,
President Cleveland's retaliation mes
sage has hit the whole people of the
United States exactly between wind and
water.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-28
Let There BE Light.

The HERALD has always been con-
sistent and has nearly always been right. |
1t is run ON an impersonal basis, because
it does not believe in introducing the per-
sonal spleen of its editors into it's col
umns, and it is therefore usually correct.
In the matter of the allegations concern
ing Chief Cuddy's administration of his
office it has aimed at fair play. 1t be-
lieved that the Chief aimed to do his
duty, and il did not see either wisdom or
policy in the Democratic party carrying
the city of Los Angeles and then handing
it over to the Republicans. 1t will sus-
tain Cuddy, it will sustain anybody, only
as he is right, and the moment it is
demonstrated that he is wrong it will
surrender him without moments hesi-
tation. All the outcry was raised about
gam bling as soon as Democratic Chief
took hold. The HERALD has thought that
an attempt was made to decapitate the
Democratic Chief of Police without fair
grounds. Believing that it would have
been recreant to its party and to right
not to have insisted upon his having fair
play, it so insisted. We insist upon that
now, and nothing more. The whole mat
ter should be probed to the bottom, not
only in Cuddy's case but in that OF his
predecessors. AT every stage of this
matter the HERALD has called for light
1t does not countenance Star Chamber
proceedings, nor will e.r parte statements
serve. There should be far-reaching
and exhaustive sitting of the whole
Police administration Of Chief Cuddy and
his immediate predecessors. 1t would
scarcely be fair to allow lot of Repub-
licans, who had sat as quiet as mice
under Republican administration of the
Office of Chief of Police, to jump on to
Cuddy as wicked example when his
predecessor was vulnerable. We have
honestly believed that Cuddy has tried to
do his duty. If he has failed in that duty,
or has transcribed it, we have no use for
him. He should be Investigated thor
oughly, with full notice of the charges
made against him, taken under cath,
and the whole system should be brought
under the full light of day. AS we have
repeatedly said, the HERALD wants the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth in this matter, as in every
other.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-28

No COUNTY campaign since the old
days when Los Angeles was the banner
Democratic county of California has
looked better than the present, either
from the standpoint of the National Or
the local ticket. The discussion on tbe
tariff issue, with free lumber, free coal,
free tin, free jute bags, and a lowering of
the infamous taxes on glass, which latter
range from 10S to 6S per cent, has re-
suited altogether in favor of the Demo-
Gratis. A country which is building so
many railroads as Southern California
wants to see the reduction of 81 ton on
steel rails, which is that proposed by the
Mills bill, carried into effect at once.
The sooner the better. The old bug-a-
boo that the recent immigration
