ALLIANCE FACTORIES.

Should the Farmers Alliance go
into manufacturing, is aquestion that
is (and justly SOY agitating the public
mind at the present time. The reasons
III favor Of such move are many, but
few will suffice.
To begin with, manufacturing pays
an average of twenty-five per cent.
throughout the country, as taOo and
one.haLf per cent. in agriculture. This
shows ten times the profit In manufac
turing as farming. Alliance factories
have many advantages over any others,
from the fact that they have surer
and more substantial patronage.
The South is behind the North in
material prosperity because the South
depends on an industry paying just
one.tenth the profit of their more pros
porous but less favored brethren How
can this state Of things be overcome /?
is question that should engage the
attention of every patriotic mind We
venture the folloWing
Let every County Alliance, Sub
Alliance and individual Alliance man
contribute of their funds to Alliance
stock companies, which shall manufac
ture such goods as fertilizers, wagons,
buggies, plows, shoes, harness, tobacco,
cotton, &c, and then when the goods
are put on the market let Allaance men
buq no other goods in the lines manu-
stured by Alliance factories except
tlleIf own. II We viii do this, mers
chants will co, operate with us and thus
secure the almost entire patronage of
the State and the South. There is no
reason whyEwe should not manufac-
ture goods in any of these lines as
good and as cheaply as it can be done
anywhere. We have the advantage
of warm climate, cheap labor, power
and materials.
/ am glad to know that we will have
at Raleigh an Alliance shoe company,
plow and wagon factory at Cary,
tobacco factories and warehouses at
Henderson, Oxford, Durham and
Reidsville; and we believe that every
Alliance and Alliance man should aid
these enterprises by taking stock, and
then buy and use these goods ex-
clusively
You ask if this will be just to other
factories; and our answer is yes, be-
cause we will by this cooperation
keep our money in circulation at home,
and receiving the profits of the bust
ness, be enabled to keep pace with
other less highly favored sections, who
by diversified industries manage to
draw patronage and profit from every
section of the country The shares Of
these cooperative companies should
be small, so that every Alliance man
would be enabled to do something.
Every stockholder is a regular Gus
toner and worker for the enterprise.
I think that every one should co.
operate in these enterprises, and there
by help to counteract the formation Of
trusts and combines, which is the bone
of American civilization

The BOYS Friend.

John T. Trowbridge was born in a log
cabin, raised on a New York farm and
composed his first verses behind the
pillow. His mother was a cultivated New
England woman, and the boy inherited
her refined taste, and althouI h not inter
ested in the studies his COZ non school
education offered him, hui cred after
languages-Latin in partiC ar. When
10 he wrote some verses OF the "Tomb
of Napoleon" which were lblished in
The Rochester Republican, from that
moment he determined ( 'ecome an
author. After his father ath he left
the farm and attended cl3 ,ical school.
where he studied Greek aud his coveted
Latin. His twentieth birthday found
him in New York battling almost against
starvation for a place in the literary
arena, and at last he won the desired
vantage ground and has sustained it
both with his verse and prose. AS a
writer of boys stories, he has scarcely a
rival in this country, and his poetry is
admirably simple, digniied and musical

Well Reasoned.

Mamma and papa may be equally loved
but the least thoughtful of children do
not fail to notice that they have different
characteristics. Two little girls were
one day eating berries from bush, and
one said:
"Shut your eyes and open your mouth
and play you're little birdie" So the
other one obediently put back her head,
stretched her mouth wide and received
in it big berry.
THANK you, papa robin" said she.
"How do you know 'twasn't mamma
robin" asked the one who had played
parent bird.
"Oh, cause you dropped it way down
my throat" was the reply.-Youth's

One of Those Unhappy Happenings That
Make All Observers Feel Sad.


Two friends of mine, couple Who
had been married for twenty years,
came to the conclusion that marriage
was failure FOR them. They agreed
upon divorce.
Years before, the man had been well
off, but had lost everything through
speculation. He took to drink and soon
degenerated to worthless burden upon
the wife, who supported the family by
taking bOarders.
For ten years these two had lived TO-
gether in the same house, the estrange-
ment widening as the husbands folly in
creased, until she could endure it no
longer. The papers were made out and
the day came when he was 10 leave the
home he had made so wretched.
| happened to be witness to their
parting. There was no one in the house
at the time but we three.
She picked up his shirts and collars,
which she had that day ironed with her
own hands, and he stood on the threshold
with the parcel under his arm, besides
trunk which contained his other personal
belongings.
Scarce a word was spoken. Both
seemed to feel that crisis in their lives
had come.
For twenty years these two had been
together, through light and shade, in
good fortune and i'll, and now they were
to part forever. Twenty years before
buoyant with youth and hope and conf
dence in each other, these two had linked
their lives together. They had come to
look alike, SO potent had been the force
of association.
What touching memories must have
surged through both their hearts as they
stood thus, she leaning against the stair
way in the hall, and he standing on the
doorstep with the dusky twilight closing
in about him as if to emphasize the
darkness of the future years.
The hour seemed strangely in keeping
with his strange parting. There are
moments SO tragic in life that speech is
dumbly inadequate This was one of
them.
"Have-I-got-everything-AnnieY
he slowly said, in a dazed way, as he
turned toward the door
IAN but this, Frank-do you want it,
and she handed him packet of faded
letters tied with a crumpled ribbon.
He turned pale as corpse, as if not
until that instant realizing all the part
ing meant. He looked at the packet,
slowly united the ribbon and wound it
about his hand, his whole frame trem
bling violently.
Keep them-Annie-for me!' he sob
bed, made one convulsive step toward
the woman, then turned and walked out
into the night
And she?
Well, an hour later l stepped softly
into the hallway, alarmed at the deathly
silence. Still leaning against the stair
way she stood, the letters clutched tight
ly in her frigid hands, her eyes strained
out upon the night as if they saw the
ghosts of bygone days when faith and
happiness were hers! That look will
haunt me forever.-Boston Commercial
