THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Object and Purposes of the Organization.
SOLIMONs, IIENRICO COUNTY,
November y, 1889.
Richmond DoHV Times:

Richmond Daily Times:
Gentlemen. Having seen an account Of
our organization. The Farmers Alliance.
published i'm your growing and certainly very
interesting journal. | ask space to further
enlighten the public Of our future aims and
methods. Some Of Your cOntempOrai ics
have neglected 10 publish our reports, but
Won seem inclined to give us audience.
Therefore ask space in your columns.
The Farmers Alliance is comparatively
new and almost unknown organization to
the average citizen Of Richmond: but it l.
destined 10 become q powerful unit IN the
business circles that draw and cater 10 the
trade that flow into Richmond from this aud
adjoining counties. It's numbers are rapid
" growing and the material Of which II II
being composed Is no mean factor, for. 'Or
of which the strength Of this Commonwealth
is made up Since its conception or birth
in this state, its growth has been phenomenal.
and like your valuable paper, the moro the
public learns of its merits, the greater the
number Of converts 20 IFS doctrines. Viz
gina has enrolled on lis books between sin
teen and seventeen thousand solid and self
sacrificing farmers. who are pledged to sup
port and promote the interest Of the farm
ing interests. some Of our enemies have
already said that the farmer hasn't the in
tciligencc. business tact or the money 10
organize and cooperate independently of
our city monopoies and king combinations.
But with all Of the discourlging and
humiliatins past Of the farmers, the pro-
mOters and well-wishers OF tins new enter
prise see and hope, in the near future, 10
rc-establish ia prestige once enjoyed 10y the
tiller of the soil. If this enterprise should
succeed. rs it must necessarily do. SIC can
again demand our share ia a nations
rights.
The Farmers Alliance was born crea-
turc OF necessity. Ii has been Graded under
adversely: but now. as its age and growth
expands. less and less grow the obstruc-
tions, until finally its voice can be heard in
the legi slatiye halls Of our once free cOun-
try MonopOiics. syndicates, railroad trusts.
combinations, and money autOcrais must
recognize the balance Of power that has
been undeyeloped and unnoticed in this vast
county. Combine and cooperate the farm
ers must. or else sink lower yet in the scale u
human insignifcance. But the tcndenc,
now among the farmers is to look FOR re-
dress Of their GRIEVANCES 10 some organized
effort. and the Farmers Alliance Of Virginia
offers substantial aid to all the down-irod-
don sons Qf toll
