ALLIANCE, No. 800, Chatham Co.
Mr. EDITOR :Irhave been a mem.
Der of the Alliance for nearly eighteen
months. / joined the order, not for
grudge or malice towards those en-
gagged in other occupations, bat be-
cause I hoped through this agency the
farmer might be enabled to cope
equally with other classes in the hon
orable pursuit of his calling. / felt
it was a necessity to unity u craft,
not only for its benefit, but for its very
hfe.' In this age of rapacious greed
for the accumulation of wealth, dhe
farmer being the easiest prey, has been
the subjectSof the most shamefulsex
t~ortion, and if some means be not de-
vised by which we can move in a
more independent attitude it will not.
be long till his manhood will be totally
killed and he will find himself in a
more pitiable condition than were the
negro slaves of a quarter of a century
ago.
For some time I have been a care
full reader of your paper and have
seen many articles which were sensi-
bic, and would be of practical benefit
if only universally adopted. But
what al a single Alliance do2 Are
we not wasting our energies in re-
solves, and as some one has said,
making a guerrilla fight, instead of
bringing into the conflict the force of
Il organization. Can there not be
some way devised to have the con-
certed action of the order in the In
terval between the sittingSof the State
Alliance whenever questions of vital
interest demand it. Would it not be
a good plan to send to county and
subordinate Alliances those questions
