find that you can fatten your hogs on

tell you, brethren, we must get
out of the old ruts, put our brain to

We must economize, improve our
land, cultivate less land and cultivate
better. These are questions for our
consideration.
Let US be Alliance men, indeed,
let US teach its principles and proclaim
them from the house tops. We are
allied together for our protection and
for your common good. The Alli-
ance will be a safe guard to the

very ley to the door of the church.
We need more good lecturers in
the field to arouse farmers to a sense
of their duty. Yadkin and Surry

Mr.. ED1ToR:-If you will bare with
me, I will dot you and the brethren a
few lines. Winstead Alliance, No.
799, is still moving on. We organ
lied May 10th, 1889, with only or
9 members; think our Secretary
called from the roll at our last meet
ing the names of "a men, some as
good as the country affords At the
last regular time for electing officers,
we elected Bro. G. A. Rodgers, Presi-
dent, and think we have got the
right man in the tight place. We
made Bro. T. S. Clay Secretary. l
think him fully competent for that
position.
I think we have sent in $40 for the
State business agency fund. L am
certain we would have sent more but
for the hard times. am one of the
charter members of my Alliance. I
don't think | have missed but three
meeting and l am certain I had a
reasonable excuse for missing those.
Some men that belong to the Alliance
seem to think just so they pay their
dues it matters not whether they go
to the meetings or not except when
they want to buy some corn or guano.
l am sorry to say there are some such
in my Alliance. would say to such
members, do better in the future than
you have in the past, attend the meet
ings whether you want to buy any
thing or not. Let's stick together
and we will get there after while. I
would advise all Altiancemen to read
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER. If You
haven't got a dollar, send the first one
you get for the paper and then read
it, and | will assure you it will be a
good investment. l have paid out one
dollar for it and have read about 35
copies and / think l have gained $40
worth of information.
Brethren, how can we expect to
accomplish anything except we all
pull together 2 heard a brother say
the other day he was in Durham and
tried to get brother to carry his to-
bacco to the Alliance Warehouse and
the brother said it was not his tobacco
and the owner requested that he
should carry it elsewhere and the
brother said he learned afterwards
that the man told a falsehood rather
than to acknowledge he was weak
kneed. Allianceman. Brethren, is
that pulling together ? say not, and
I say for all of you writing and talk
ing men to give it to such fellows as
that on every side, and if they can't
stand hot grease, let them get out of
the kitchen. l will close, if you
think proper you can publish these
remarks; if not, cast them aside.

JUTE BAGG1NG.
GoLDsBoRo, N. c., Sept. II, '8s.

GoLDsBoRo, N. c., Sept. II, '8s.
Mr.. ED1ToR.-This letter will par
ticularly address itself to the cotton
farmers as we'll as members of the
Farmers Alliance of the Southern
States.
I am reliably informed that the cot
ton compress companies are removing
every substitute in which the Alliance
and such other farmers as are in
sympathy with and are assisting us
are wrapping their cotton in, and re-
placing it with "jute bagging." So
no matter how much cotton we may
bale and wrap in our cotton bagging,
not one bale of it will ever reach a
foreign port SO wrapped, except it is
shipped without being sold to cotton
broker and compressed, and hence
there is little need to care what Eng
lish exchanges may say about receiv-
ing our cotton wrapped in cotton cloth,
they will hardly have many such bales
to deal with, not shortly, at any rate.
Many of our farmers will ask why
is this SOP 1t is simply matter of
dollars and cents, as most all such
cases are, when sifted to the bottom.
The cotton compress companies are
doing this thing at the bidding, or
rather by directions, of the owners
of the cotton who have it compressed
for shipping. They direct it to be so
done because it cost them nothing to
wrap it in jute bagging and leaves
them the substitute taken from the
bales to sell back to the producer or
some one else, which is that much
proft-the value of the substitute on
each bale-to them.
The reason for this state of affairs
arises from the ruling under an act
of compress of the United States
officers, allowing to any shipper OF
cotton baled in jute bagging, at each
port OF entry, 40 cents per bale out
of the government funds for every
bale so wrapped and entered for ship
ment to any foreign port.
Now you may see from this,
brother farmers and Alliance mem
bers, how the United States Congress
in its feeble effort to help the farmer,
I say feeble effort because had it been
a strong effort it would have struck
the tariff off jute and made it directly
free and not done it through this re-
