the officers and numbers of his House.
The new. members Of. the Board OF
Agriculture are w, R. Capeharts A.
Leazar, J. F. Payne CD. Smith and
w. E. Stevens. The Trustees of the
A. & M. College are S.. B. Alexander,
R. Barringer, H. E. Fries, w. S..
Primrose and Elias Carr-appointed
by Gov. Fowle.
The bill to consolidate the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the, A. & M.
College, and by which the Farmers
Fund was to be, expended strictly an
the interest of agriculture and by which
from $4,000 to $10,O 600 would have
been saved to the college, was passed
in the House by an almost unanimous
vote and was promptly sent to the
Senate. It was referred to the Com
mittee on Agriculture. The friends
of the measure used every effort to
have it reported, but an vasn. 1t a0ds
strangled and killed By the action Of the
committee. Even Commissioner Rob
inson worked day and night against it.
We will refer to this again in the.
future.
Senators White, Bennett and others
claimed when the Commission bill was
pending that it was too broad in its
powers and indicated clearly that the
Massachusetts, bill would suit them.
Yet when the Cooke bill was pre-
sented to them they promptly voted it
down. The truth is land the people
will not forget it, the solid Republican
vote, aided by few Democrats, held
the railroad fort against the people,
and they would have voted against
any measure affecting the roads in any
degree.
Senators Kerr, Blair and Thomas
had much to say about manufactured
sentiment" The plain English of their
insinuations was that the so, 900 ALI
ance men of the State who asked for
a Commission had no minds Of their
own-theyc could be pulled and turned
about by one or two men. We agree
with them that it is a manufactured
sentiment and that it is manufactured
by just such votes as were cast by
them.

ON THE RIGHT o A

GRANVILLE County Alliance is
VI not making much noise about it,
but no county in the State perhaps is
doing more, if so much, in the way of
genuine pf6gress. Their warehouse
has been a success from the day it
opened, and it is managed by compe-
tent, active, prudent men. Their
smoking and plug factory, now nearly
ready for work, will be as complete in
all it's appointments as any establish
ment of the kind in the State and we
predict for it a splendid success. Bro.
Daily and his jealous and efficient
aids are pushing the work, and soon
our brethren from the Virginia line
to the frontiers of Indian Territory
will enjoy the bright golden leaf,
planted, cultivated, cured, sold and
manufactured by Alliance farmers.
We are gratifed to see that the Ali
ance men are patronizing their own
warehouses. This is right and proper.
Why should not the farmers manage
their tobacco crops from the plant-bed
to the pipes and mouths of the con-
sumers? You are on the right road,
brethren. Follow it, turning neither
to the right nor left, and success will
crown your efforts.

mortgages on farms in those States

600, 900; Texas, $4,000, 900. Total:
Three billions tive hundred and harty-two
millions dollars! This, in just one
third of the agricultural States. The
interest for one year at SIX per cent.
on this mortgaged debt of those farm
ers is t,Oo hundred and eleven millions
nine hundred and twenty thousand dol,
lars! Almost enough to cover the
entire cotton crop of the South. Esti-
mate the mortgaged Indebtedness on
the farms of the remaining eighteen
States to equal that of the above
named nine States and it would
amount to enough to pay for all the
railroads in this vast country !!
Whittier are we drifting? Is there
no cause for concern among the

does not bid G~od-speed to the noble

striving to avert the direful calamity
which must ensue, if this state of
things is not remedied ? Let every

allegiance to the Let every
patriot identify himself with US in this

gies and industries of the country.

THE G EXODUS.

T ARGE numbers of the colored
IL people are leaving this section of
our State for the South and South
west. At this season, after having
contracted with the farmers to work
with them during the year, it is a
great wrong for them to disregard
their contracts. But what care they
for the obligation of a contract ? The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER hopes they may
better their condition, and speaking
for itself only, it is willing to see every
one leave the State who desires to do
so. We are far from being among
the number who believe that the white
race in North Carolina or elsewhere
is dependent on the negro for any of
the essential conditions of life. We
are and have been infinitely more con
cerned about the thousands of our
own race-the noble youngjmen, who
have emigrated from our State. To-
day we have nearly 800, 600 native
North Carolinians, with their talents,
energy, pluck and manhood, e~nriching
and adjoining other States and we
have never read during a lifetime so
much in our papers about this deplor-
able fact, as we have read within the
past month in regard to a few hun
dred negroes.

Thirty Alliances in the 34th District
asked for it. Representatives Hol-
man, Leazar and Senator Turner were
for it. Senator Barber voted against 1t.
One County and eleven Subordi-
mates in the 35th District asked for it.
Representatives Hoffman and New
land votedfor it. Senators Blair and
Briggs voted against it.
Thirteen Subordinate Alliances and
the County Alliance in Halifax asked
for it. Representative Taylor voted
forit. Senator Emry voted against 1t.
Notices from at least three hundred
additional Alliances were received
after the bill had been defeated, en-
dorsing the action of the State ALI
ance. We doubt not that every ALI
ance in the State would today endorse
it. But what is the Alliance, that its
demands or wishes should be re-
spected? We suspect that this disre-
gard of their wishes will teach them a
most valuable and greatly needed
lesson.
A question: Who knows the .senti-
ments of the people best, the few Sen
ators who defeated this bill, or the
many Representatives who voted for
it and the tens Of thousands of ALI
ance men who asked for it?

OUR LEGISLATURE.

THE Farmer Legislature" has
Il adjourned, and it's record has
passed into history. It has been the
subject, of course, of unjust criticism
in many instances, but in the main it's
course was marked by conservatism
and sound judgment. Especially and
emphatically may this be said of the
lower House, than whom The Pro.
GREssIvE FARMER has not seen a better
body of men in that end of the capt.
toll since the wal, and our people
would act wisely if they would return
them two years hence. They now
have that experience which they so
much needed at the beginning and
which would so greatly aid them in
their honest and patriotic effort to
serve the people efficiently and wisely.
While there were as noble and as true
men in the Senate and as fearless and
as faithful friends to the people as
ever sat in that body, yet, unfortu-
nately, they we're handicapped by COM
binations and influences which rem
dered them almost powerless. 1t is
generally conceded that had the Sen-
ate acquiesced in the measures and
action of the House generally, that no
Legislature for the past twenty years
would have so well merited the
plaudit of the people: "Well done
good and faithful servants"
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Wilmington Messenger says:
I'm some quarters much was ex-
pected, and in others much more
feared from the action of this Gen
eral Assembly. While all that was
hoped for may not have been accom-
plished, happily the fears of none
were realized. From the first it was
seen that it was a very conservative
Legislature, as we announced it would
be as Don as it's complexion was as
certained.
GAS the friend of the farming peo-
pie, we are quite willing to have the
Legislature of 1888-'89 go into his,
tory as the Farmer Legislature, for
upon the whole we deem it the best
and the wisest body Of men we have
thus assembled in North Carolina
since the close of the war"

LEGISLATIVE CHIPS.

A BILL was passed allowing the
~ people. of Harnett countyito vote
on the question of moving the court
house and Jail from Ellington to
Dunn. -. =
At least loo, 900 farmers and tax
payers voted for Col. T.. M. Holt for
Lieutenant Governor, and of these at
least so, O0O were Alliance men. These
were his constituents, and he should
have remembered them when he cast
his vote to kill the Cooke bill. He
stood in quite a different position from
those who said "My county don't
want it." But his course on the Rail
road Commission is consistent, to say
the least of it. He opposed it with
all his power two years ago.
Speaker Leazar-vigilant, faithful,
clear-headed, courteous, obliging, i'm.
partial and thoroughly versed in par
liamentary law-made one Of the best

the common veal; the, agreed policy
seems intended to comprehend the
general good, and together, all together,
the members of the Order are living
for their fellows and not simply for
themselves.
There will be many occasions for
friction and disagreement, as vexed
questions come up to be settled. The
way out of our troubles is not smooth
and easy; much wisdom, much counsel
and much patience will be needed if
we come safely throgh. Individual
opinions should give way before the
wisdom of general counsel; Individual
preferences should be swallowed up
in the common good; individual in
terests and personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT
should yield before the great public
concern. The success of the Order
and the final recovery of the country
depends upon the unity of action and
harmony of feeling among the mem
bers of the Alliance.
We are together to work out the
greatest problem of the times-success-
full agriculture at the South. Its solu-
ton demands careful investigation,
earnest thought and wise and con
certed action. If, in discussions, we
lose sight of these high and important
interests over matters. of minor con-
~sideration, and in the chickering's of
strife lose sight of the great ends for
which we have united, it would have
been better if we had never begun an
enterprise of such splendid promise, to
end in such speedy decay. The ques-
ton with us is, not who is the man,
but what is the remedy; not the honor
of adherents but the relief of the PEG.
pie; not the pushing of pet measures
by intrigue and machinery, but the
broad comprehension Of the needs of
the country and the free expenditure
and sacrifice Of ourselves to meet
them.
No ~dissensiOns must come amongst us;
as brethren of the same Order, living
for the same purposes and Industrious
ly working for the same ends, our uc-
cess must depend upon unity and
harmony in all our counsels and in
all our actions. w. J. NoRTHFN.

A PEOPLE.
Startling Figures.

A S a people, we are rushing on
IN wildly into commercial feudal-
ism. The rapid congestion of wealth,
the maddened rage for accumulating
riches, the INSCRIPTIONS means en-
ployed and whose conceded respecta-
bility comes of their astounding grasp
and audacity, the evident and alarming
drift of American citizenship into two
classes-the extremely rich and the
extremely poor-should arouse every
patriot to action. In vain do the peo-
pie plead for justice. In vain do they
protest against the encroachments of
corporate and moneyed power. In
vain do they admonish their State and
National Legislatures that impending
ruin and bankruptcy stare US in the
face as a nation. In vain are they
struggling nobly and heroically against
the tide which is driving them ire
sistably down into the degradation of
commercial vassalage. This is strong
language but it is truth. To rescue
the agricultural and other industrial
interests from the impending ruin; to
restore that healthful equilibrium be-
tween the great industries of the
country which is absolutely essential
to a healthful growth and prosperity,
to secure to the farmers of the land
some of, the profits of their A,hafd
earnings, is the grand mission of the
Farmers Alliance. Their success will
be the success and the glory of Ameri-
can institutions-their failure will be
the wreck of American hope and
American liberty. We are awate that
there be those who think that this
great upheaval-this grand revolution
of thought among the farmers is
"much ado about nothing" But they
are men who take a superficial view
of matters, or they are wilfully blind
to the situation, and we commend
to all such, the real condition of oul
people. We would ask them to read
the following facts and tell us if it is
not just cause for concern and alarm
We have twenty-seven agricultural
States in the Union. We select nine
of the leading ones to show only one
phase of the condition of their farm
ers. Read the figures and say there
is no cause for alarm. The recorded

but the total tax required by the rail
roads of the people will be as great
with the Commission as without it.
The National Government has tried a
Commission, and it has found that a
half bred railroad attorney can drive
a six-horse team through it, and so 1t
will be with any commission law they
pass. The railroads make no show
ing of books, and manage their affairs
in secret. How can it be otherwise !?
The Knights of Labor, many of them
railroad men, have given as one OF
their declarations that the National
Government should own every rail-
road and telegraph line. Many object
to it upon the ground that it would
give the politician too much patron
age. If this patronage be dangerous
to a government, it is more dangerous
in the hands of a syndicate, for it will
control the government. But L see
no need of the government having as
much patronage then as now. Organ

for life or a term of years and not
allow them to vote. The army and
navy are so organized, and no n
ever hears of trouble about patronage
in either, or their interfering in any
way with elections.
With the control of railroads, tele-
graphs and the money system, it is
impossible for syndicates, trusts, COM
bines and monopolies to rob the people
without owning the land as completely
as the Barons of old who owned the
land and claimed the people as vassals.
Our danger is in being reduced to
poverty, and rendered helpless, and
the danger of the great army of rail
road and telegraph employees is in
being dependent; they may become
s~erviIe. The great number of strikes
made by them show they possess an
uncommon manhood, but as the syndi-
Gates, trusts, combines and monopolies
increase in power, the struggle is rem
dered more unequal"

HARMONY.

TON. W. J. NORTHERN, Presi-
II dent Of the State Agricultural
Society of Georgia, is one of the largest
and best farmers in the South, one of
the foremost men Of his State, and an
Alliance man whose wise counsel is
worthy of our attention. Among
some Of the many good things he has
written, we clip from the Southern
Cuuavator the following:
"The harmony and good feeling
that has prevailed among the members
of the Alliance, in this State, is won
derful and a matter of congratulation.
The Order seems brought together in
great sympathy of interest and equal
sympathy of regard. The man who is
able to care for himself is busying
himself about the interests of his less
fortunate neighbors; and, by cooper

changing e~ounsels as to plans, is get

of the country, but greatly helpful in
