I need not enter into a considera.

the employment given to thousands

who are now more or less idle for
lack Of remunerative employment, nor
of the further and perhaps greater

which machinery constantly sugges
or demands. It is sufficient for the
"present distress" to remind doubt
less that the wealth of the Old World
flows in a steady stream into manu-.
featuring Britain and the wealth Of
the United States is concentrated in
their manufacturing centres, and that
as Britain has a controlling voice in
the diplomacy of the Old World, the
manufacturing centres in these States
control the financial legislation of the
Union. Wealth is power, and unless
we are willing for our children to be
slaves, rs we are, to powerful com
binations of manufacturers and other
wealthy classes, we must begin to
devise plans for their emancipation.
The Farmers Alliance has shown it's
power in the matter Of the bagging
trust, and now [ hope that an inter,
change of views by the farmers of the
South may lead to the adoption Of
some plan which will accomplish the
great result SO much desired by all
of US. Fraternally yours,

mand to require cotton bags and wrap
pings for all articles of merchandise,
whenever it is practicable.
We have combined with some of
our neighbor Lodges to consolidate
our trade and buy goods from our
merchant at reduced rates for the
present. How far this will go to bene-
fit US we shall see as we compare
prices with those who buy from other
merchants.
W. are amused to see how soon
outspoken enemies of the Alliance are
drawing in their heads from the i'm
pending storm which is SO rapidly de-
veloping in the growth of the Alliance
which is fast assuming gigantic pro-
portions. They hear the distant thun-
der. We want to see factories estab'
lished to manufacture u bagging
and guanos, and we want our own
warehouses to put them in, and ex-
pect to have them, and our own men
to manage the sales and purchases. We
are afraid our brethren elsewhere will
not profit by selling their cotton seed
to oil mills Better pat them on our
soils.
We endorse the demand of the State
Alliance concerning convict labor and
enlarged jurisdiction of magistrates.
1t does our hearts good to welcome
some of our old friends into the ALI
ance who once belonged to farmers
clubs and such organizations, and
came out discouraged and have been
oblivious to all hope of relief from the
clutches of venal and mercenary men
who have so long been Christening US
with the merciless rod of oppression.

ows across them, but the booming of

bask in a warm blaze of mellow sun

Alliance do say we are gong into poll
tics. We know that every man in the
Alliance is free and can vote for whom
he pleases without restraint. Of course
we will vote for the men who show

who r good farmers and in full

The peculiar isolation and lone
someness of living and moving among
people whose names even you 90 not
know, is far from as pleasant as might
appear at first sight. No one, by
looking merely at the outside can be-
gin to tell the amount of magnificent
misery and gilded poverty which exist
within city walls. Besides, there is
as much drudgery to be done in the
city as in the country, and if anything
even more; the work is as hard and
steady; while different from farm
life, it tires just as soon, and it is
impossible to find that rest and quiet
found amidst unexcitable country
life, surrounded as they are in the city
with noise and confusion of passing
multitudes. The time was when
young business men could go to the
cities and do we'll, but that time has
gone by and will probably eve re-
turn, for the simple eason that our
cities are over-crowded already, and
there is nc prospect of their growing
less. The man who ought to be the
happiest of all men is he who has a
good farm free from debt and under
q good state of cultivation, with a
cheerful, loving wife, and a number of
healthy, bright and dutiful children
around to make music and assist in
keeping his homestead. The capacities
of American agriculture as a whole
have only begun to be developed.
There never was a time when, and
ever a country where, husbandry
could be carried on to such advan-
tage as in this country.
GA little farm we'll titled,
A little house we'll filed,
A little wife we'll willed,
A little child we'll drilled,
Are the greatest blessings, of an
earthly nature, a man a possess.
This being my first letter for publ
cation, and my qualifications being
very limited as a correspondent, Twill
bring it to a close.

Col. l.. L. PoLK.-Deor Sr:-As I
was elected Corresponding Secretary
of Morning Star Lodge, No. 377, at
our last meeting, something, at least,
will be expected from me through The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Since the organization of our Lodge,
some time in the early part of the year,
with about seven members, we have
been moving steadily forward with in
creasing interest, and now we have
about forty members, male and female,
with prospects still Frightening. The
ladies attend regularly and the social
enjoyments afforded will prove bene-
fetal to them and add vigor to our
zeal in the good cause.
The sense of our members was taken
by a vote in the Lodge which was
unanimous in support of all movements
in the Alliance to put down all trusts
and iniquitous monopolies and com
binations against the interests of the
farming people; to put down the free
pass system on railroads, and the de-

NECESSITY OF ESTABLISHING
COTTON MILLS IN
THE STATE.
ALBERTsoN's, Duplin Co., N. c.,

Nov. II, '88.
Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear SSr:-The
result of the recent Presidential cleo
ton seems to condemn for a time,
nobody knows how long, the cotton
farmers of the South to a disastrous
competition, so far as two-thirds of
their cotton is concerned, with the
pauper labor of Asia and Africa, while
their protected fellow-countrymen who
manufacture the other third, refuse to
compete with their brethren in Europe
"a condition of things which fore
bodies an arithmetical progression of
poverty and degradation for the farm
ers. And however much we may
diversity u crops, and thereby i'm
prove our condition, cotton will likely
continue to be our "money CROP" and
the amount produced will almost GER
tainly exceed the consumption of the
United States for an indefinite period.
Add to this that the efforts of the
British Government to extend the
production of cotton in British India
may gradually lower the price of our
exported cotton, and it cannot be
doubted that we are at as near that
necessity which leads to invention.
Allow me then to suggest to County
and Sub-Alliances that it is time to
study how we may establish all owe
the South a sufficient number of mills
to spin our entire crop of cotton each
year, u own families doing the work,
and thus avoiding the danger of
strikes, lock-outs and other labor
troubles. In this way we can COM
pete with the whole world and assure
a degree of prosperity to our section
which will be, at least, a partial reali-
zation of the hopes Of our forefathers
who thought they were fighting for
our commercial as we'll as our political
liberties. After such mills are firmly
established, it will be an easy step to
add machinery for weaving, &C., but
for the present I think spinning is all
we ought to attempt OF the scale sug-
gested. This will nearly or quite
double the value of cotton, and
the time will soon come when those
who have grown rich by levying
tribute on us will not have reasonable

GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS,

WILSON Co., N. c., Dec. p, '88.
Col. L. L. PoLK.-Deor Sr:-As
Correspondent of this Alliance, I will
now send in my first very brief letter.
We were organized in April last, but
owing to the scarcity Of material, and
to the location Of other Sub-Alliances
in this county, we only number about
twenty. But among them are some
Of as good men as we have in the COM
munity. We have contributed very
literally to the State Agency Fund
and hope to do more in the future, as
all the members we're not present at
the last meeting. The Wilson County
Alliance is doing a noble work, and
as a member of that body, | would like
to say to the brethren, through the
organ, that owing to sickness in my
family, I have been unable to attend
the two last meetings.
l have just read a part of the pro-
ceedings of the National Alliance, and
am very well pleased with the work,
and especially with the plan adopted
for breaking up the speculation in
cotton futures, and I would here sug-
gest to Alliance men everywhere to
look close after homemade supplies,
homemade fertilizers, and everything
that will enable them to hold their
cotton crop to suit their W con-
venience; for let me remind you Of
one fact: we are paying to the manu-
facturer Of fertilizers o%ne-fourth of
u cotton crop every year. Just
think of this, one hundred thousand
bales of cotton every year to pay for
commercial fertilizers in North Caro-
lima alone-four millions of dollars.
In North Carolina we pay heavy rent
for our own lands. Bring your land
up by some other means, pease, COM
posting, rye and many other ways that
would be more lasting and beneficial,
at one-half the expense of buying fer
tilizers. Would like to say to all
Alliance men everywhere to be pune
tual at your Sub-Alliance meetings at
least once a month; have a regular
time for meeting and arrange your
affairs so that you can attend. Do
not lag; we are only just beginning
the work. Punctuality is one Of the
great objects of the organization. Il
you neglect your meetings you will
be behind the work. Read THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER regularly and keep
posted, and work as you have never
worked before, for the grandest and
best organization that has aver been
started for the farmers Of North Caro-
lima. I cannot say more in a letter.
Fraternally yours,
LEVIN WATSON.

OUR COMMON
4 Paper Read By Mss lille Marsh at
Shiloh, IN the Randolph County AHj-
ance, .Junudru 4th. 1889.

Shiloh, IN the Randolph County AHi-
ance, January 4h, 1889.
W. come to these meetings with an
unwritten agreement to take things as
they are, and to join hands with each
other in a laudable endeavor to make
them what they should be. This face
to face exchange of views cannot fail
to be highly beneficial to all the COM
munity, if we in reality appreciate the
value of these golden opportunities to
do good and get good. Will these
good effects abide with us and per-
meate our everyday life, in our homes,
in the school, on the farm, and in the
workshop?
You see 1 place the school Sec
ond only to the home. Do not
think it egotism. OF course we
teachers think that the axis of
the earth stick visibly out of the
particular school house over which
we preside. ALI Americans are fond
of speaking of the ballot-box as the
palladium of our liberties or as the
ark of the sacred covenant carried in
the front of our hosts to divide the
waters of our national troubles. The
home and the school are the angels
and standing guard over the ballot-box
freedom, and so long as you men-the
high priests, who alone have access to
the ark, do your duty, all will be we'll.
We who are not "fellow citizens" "
are perfectly content that you should
have a monopoly of direct access to
the ark, so long as you are vigilant in
making the guard over it as efficient
as possible. l know that if you love
your homes, and cherish a saving
patriotism for the State, you will not
allow anything vicious to enter the
school life of the children. Is it from
Chapel Hill, Trinity and schools of
like grade, that your home guard re-
Inducements must come? No, it
must be largely from what is doing in
the common schools, common only in
name.
In their power for good or evil in
fuences they are not common. No
other power comes so near being the
lever with which some modern Archi-
medes, if he had a place to stand,
could move the world. Now in re-
gard to the schools Gas they are"
simply from a money point of view:
are they doing one-half the good for
the State and society that they might
do? If not, you Alliance men have
the remedy in your own hands. The
pocket-book is the most sensitive
nerve in the masculine body, and is it
not surprisingly strange that in this
instance he is Sc neglectful of its in
terests?
When you invest money in a bust
ness, you expect a corresponding share
of the profits; you r interested in
the results, and therefore you take
great pains to see that all who are in
