the Railroad Commission bill will in all
probability be left at home in the
future. One party, of course, voted
as Is their custom-solidly against the
general welfare of the agricultural in
terest of the county. They are like
Ephraim of old, "they are joined to
their idols" The GOOD Book says
let them alone. I am glad to see the
names of our Senators list Senatorial
district) on the side Of justice and
equity. A list of the voters on that
question, whether pro or con, will be
filed away for future reference. l
think those who voted against the bill
will have conscientious scruples when
thew return home and meet their con
stituents, who will surely inquire why
they voted thus.
Our farmers are busily engaged in
preparing their lands for the ensuing
crops, and have made more compost
than for any previous year, which to
my mind is some show OF a return to
reason and common sense. [ think
the guano men had better be careful
in the future, or they might be troubled
with a surplus quantity on hand and
but few ~buyers-however, that is their
business, not ours. Our Alliance has
agreed to buy as little as possible,
thereby avoiding the mortgage system
as much as possible, Notwithstanding
the advice of Senator Hoar, of Massa-
chusetts, who said it was an evidence
of progress and prosperity to have a
mortgage on the farm. The Lord de-
liver us from such progress and pros
perity.
I feel safe in saying that the average
farmer has learned more in the one
year of the Farmers Alliance exist
ence about tariff, taxation, trust COM
panies, syndicates and the wholesale
plumber practiced upon him by COM
binations, than he had for the past Is
years. And, sir, permit me to thank
you and our worthy President, Capt.
S. B. Alexander, for it, in a great
measure. After generations will rise
up and call you blessed.
Yours fraternally,
M. G. GREGORY.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Permit me again to
trespass upon your time and space.
We are moving on slowly but surely.
We realize that much good has already
been done by the Alliance men in our
own State, and we trust much more
will be done ere long; to that end
eve must stick together through thick
and thin, like a lean tick to a negro's
shin" and dispute every inch of ground
n defending our rights, having the
old motto as our counter-sign, eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty"
Quite a number of our members are
subscribers to your valuable paper,
and many others have promised to
subscribe in the near future.
Very little guano is being bought
by u men in this county; they desist
on account of urgent requests from
various Sub-Alliances, feeling it a duty
they owe the brethren in other sections.

LETTER FROM MONTGOMERY.
Mt. GILEAD ALLIANCE, No. SO,
March II. 1889

Mr.. Unconstitutional our ALI
ance has been organized something
over a year, there has been nothing
heard from it through The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, our State organ, and as 1
have been appointed correspondent, [
will attempt to let others hear from
us. Our members increase more or
less every meeting, and we have the
backbone of the surrounding country
in harness, men who take hold with
the determination to succeed, and if
the Alliance is not now a success we
have the timber in our woodpile, who
are determined that it shall be so in
the near future. Some of our people
are standing aloof, thinking there is
a little shadow of policy in it, but we
hope by good deeds to show them
otherwise. Our meetings are enter
tanning, and l hope will be profitable
to the body. We have a fair number
of members of the fair sex, but they
don't inspire us with their presence
often. We have about sixty regular
working members and our worthy
President, DR.. R. W. Joyner, rouses
us up to a high pitch occasionally with
his stirring, spicy, chats, and our level
headed Trade Agent, T. F. Haywood,
is solid, substantial and to the point.
Fraternally yours,

LIBERTY FARMERS ALLIANCE.
OAKDALE ALLIANCE, No. 557,
Oakdale, n. @, Feb. Is, '8[

Oakdale, N. c., Feb. Is, '89.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Our Alliance, with
four others, met at Liberty, in Ran
dolph county, and organized al asso-
citation under the name of Liberty
Farmers Alliance Association.
Our object is to cooperate with all
Alliance men for the mutual benefit
of the whole. We made application
to several manufacturing companies
for special rates on their fertilizers.
Instead of offering us terms, they re-
ferred us to their agents. We there
fore
Resolved, That we will not buy fer
tilizers from any company that will
not sell to our agent as low as they do
to other agents.
In this we ask the cooperation Of
all Alliances. Unless we are united
in this, as in other matters, we may
fail of the object of our organization,
and consequently remain "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" The
farmers, of all others, should be the
most independent and happy people on
this green earth. But in debt with
our crops, and, in some cases, lands
under mortgage to merchants and
others to run US, how can it be? The
farmers have been run in this way I'M
til, without a change, a great many
cannot run much longer.
Now, brother farmers, let us all
agree that unless we can run our own
business, we will not run at all. We
have it in our own hands, and united
we will soon have the ability. The
money paid for guanoi if spent in max
ing manures at home and properly
applied to u lands, would in a few
years place us in a condition to live
Independent of artificial manures, and
our lands thereby improved. We
will be compelled to resort to some
means to improve our worn down
farms, or we may expect our young
men to seek their fortunes in a more
productive section of country. Guano
will never do it. Instead of indie
pendence, the farmers have become
a dependent class, and will continue
to be, just so long as the present state
Of things exist. Then why not at
once agree and resolve with us not to
use fertilizers unless we can buy direct
from manufacturers through our
agents, on the same liberal terms they
make with other agents. We may
not succeed so well for a crop or two,
but l feel confident that paying more
attention to the making of manures,
spend the money that we pay for fer
tilizer in making manure, we will do
far better, and our farms will be in a
condition, in a few years to pay us
much better than they now do with
the commercial fertilizer.
We should give courage to manu-
featuring and to merchandise; both
are needful and should be made bene-
fetal to farmers.
Manufacturers MOI merchants can
prosper without the farmer; each
should encourage the other, as our in
terests are mutual and cannot be en-
tlrely separated. Trade should be so
encouraged that all may prosper, and
not that the farmer should be ground
down and have to grope in poverty,
while the merchants and manufactur.
ers are amassing AMI hording up their
millions. 81. M. G, 8

deal with this subject with that states.
manship and wisdom that otherwise
might be expected.
This prejudice against railroads can
best be allayed by creating this Com
mission. The success of the measure
largely depends upon the selection OF
the Commissioners.
This Assembly will give to the
country good and patriotic men for
this place and they will, in my judg-
ment, so manage the affairs of the
Commission as to cause peace, good
will and prosperity to exist between
the roads and the people.
Gentlemen who oppose this meas
ure seriously contend that it will in
juriously affect the railroads and drive
capital from the State. This, | sub
NIT, is mere idle speculation. The
history in regard to this legislation is
that it has in no case retarded railroad
enterprise, and has in nearly every in
stance served the purpose for which it
was designed. It is u duty to make
the experiment.
I regard railroads as great civilizers
in our land and am adverse to any
legislation which would impede their
progress. l have considered all the
bearings of this question, and am fully
persuaded that it is just as important
for the roads as it is for the people
that a Commission should be estab-
lished in North Carolina.
Mr.. Payne then proceeded to ex
plain the features of the bill, and
showed that it was a much milder and
at the same time more efficient meas.
ure than that adopted by Georgia and
South Carolina Legislatures.
Mr.. Payne, in voting for the bill,
said that he had listened with great
attention to those who were opposed
to the bill, and had carefully noted
the fact that no Senator had answered
the legal argument he had advanced
to show that the Legislature had the
power to give the Commissioners
authority to regulate rates on areason-
able and just basis. He had also OBJ
served that no Senator in the debate
had successfully combatted the idea
that there was a popular demand for
this legislation-he was therefore con-
frmed and strengthened in his opinion
and cheerfully voted for the bill.
Mr.. Payne, in this connection, called
attention to the fact that the argu-
ment of popular demand had been
met by ridicule by legislators who
neither knew nor cared to know the
people. That no effort had been made
by the opposition to this measure to
offer a better bill, and it had been
clearly demonstrated that there had
been formed a design to smother and
stife all legislation upon this important
subject. He warned Senators that if
this Legislature failed and refused to
afford the people some relief in this
matter, the time was not far off when
they would be held to a strict and
searching accountability by the people
whom they professed to represent.
