than they get of the proprietors of
the oil mills, for whom they buy, and
whereas we can see no reason why we
should be called on to pay agents to
buy for these oil mills, therefore
Resolved, We, as members of said
Alliance, do hereby refuse to sell our
seed to any agent who does not. pay
US manufacturer prices.
Resolved, That we use our influence
among our friends to induce them to

THE SUGAR TRUST.

The sugar trust is combination to
enchance prices that come home to
the business and bosoms of men. It
has raised the prices of every grade of
sugar-that of refined sugar as much
as four cents a pound. The business
of refining sugar was reasonably
profitable before the combination, but
by arbitrarily raising prices the sugar
people were able to divide profit Of
$lO,OOO,OOO IN 1888, and for five
months of the present year SILL
100000 The sugar trusts profits are
now estimated at So, 100000 month.
Their combination in restraint of
trade has enabled them to lay heavy
tax on every consumer of sugar, from
which the members of the trust will
soon become enormously wealthy if
not interfered with. It is not in the
nature of things that they should not
be interfered with, and the more they
press their advantage the sooner it
will be.-Mortimer WhGtehead

WHO OWNS THIS COUNTRY.

Let us inquire whether there is any
excessive concentration of wealth 60
ing on in the United States of Amer
lea. Leaving mere clamor on unsup-
portable assertions out of considera-
tion on either side, let us look at facts.
AS lately as l847 there was but one
man in this country who was reported
to be worth more than $5, 100000;
and though some estimated his wealth
at 20,000,0 900, there is no good reason
for believing it to be so great At the
smallest reasonable estimate, there
must now be more than $50 persons
in this country whose wealth averages
over $4,000, 900 each. But let US
call the number only 200. Income
tax returns show that the number of
incomes, when arranged in large
classes, multiplies by from three to
five fold for every reduction in the
amount of one-half For extreme
caution, however, we estimate the in
crease in the number of incomes at a
very much lower rate than this. At
this reduced rate, the amount of
wealth in the hands Of persons worth
worth over $50O,000 each in the
United States would be about as fol
lows: @ ~

Mr.. EDToR:-Will you please allow
me space in your noble paper, The
PRGGREss1vE FARMER, to inform your
readers of a picnic held at Hattershop
Alliance, August 23d. 1889, which
we call a success in the way of pic
MICS We had seven speeches through
out the day, all on the good of the
Alliance. We had the workings of
all, their motives and their intended
good to all made known by the fol-
lowing speeches: Capt. Fisher, Presi-
dent of Rowan County Alliance;
Alexander Trexler, Samuel Roth
rock, Jun. Hodges, and s. A. Earn
heart, AMI Rev. Rev. B. A. York and
Rev. A. L. Coburn, Chaplain of the
County Alliance, presented to the
people, the moral and religious in
fuence of the Alliance in a touching
manner that done good to all. We
think there was good impression
made on all that attended At about
one o'clock one of as nice dinners as
greet the eyes of hungry mortals
was ready for all, and at least FIVE
hundred persons ate ana were filed.
The Alliance cause is in a prosperous
condition, we think, in Rowan county.
We are all down on the jute trust
and will use none. We expect to
raise our part of the besiness fund,
in fact we are in for anything that is
for the good of the order.
| hope before the winter is gone to
send you the name of every member
of our Alliance as subscriber to your
paper.

effort of Hattershop, Union, Rowan

and ACT Brethren, stand by your
colors. Surely we are gaining
ground, so let us not be impatient;
we should be careful not to aim too
high or too low but first be sure we
are right, then go ahead. If we are
governed by this rule we shall go on
from victory to victory, if in all things
we demand that which is just and
right, take nothing more and accept
nothing less. Let us all be awake, we
do not lack encouragement nor do I
believe that our brethren lack energy.
We must think and act for the good
of our order, then we will succeed in
other contests as we have in putting
down the bagging trust. We have
achieved much good already and if
we continue to think and act right
we will make far greater achieve
ments in the future than we have
done in the past. Let THE PRoGREs-
sIvE FARMER continue to sound the
signal from the watch tower, send It
along the line, warning the poor
farmers of the dangers to which they
are exposed, the burdens they are
bearing and the final fate that will
overtake them if they do not arouse
themselves and shake off the shackles
of bondage which their oppressors are
SO willing for them to carry.

COUNTRY ROADS.

It is an encouraging sign when a
political paper like the Baltimore Sun,
able, conservative, and greatly infu-
entail, calls on the Changers to pledge
their candidates for the Legislature to
the support of a well-considered and
efectual road law for the county of
Baltimore, and suggests the idea that
the Changers of the State combine
their influence in the next Legislature
in behalf of wise general legislation in
this behalf. It is not so much the
thing advised as the agency to be en-
ployed to work out the naturalization
of the suggestion. To pledge can
didates of both parties to wise, eco
nomic legislation is Alliance as well
as Grange doctrine, which has been
denounced as causeless agitation.
What has the San to say to the idea
of the Changers influencing the Legis-
lature by recalling some of the legal
gentlemen and putting good Changers
in their seats !? We greatly suspect
that we shall get at what we want

counties in like manner build county
trunk lines as feeders to the State

THE BORDER ALLIANCE.
Preamble and Resolutions Adopted by
the Border Farmers Alliance
of Virginia and North
Carolina, August
2oth, 1889.


WHEREAS, We, of the Border
Farmers Alliance, recognize that oul
most vital interests are at stake
through the Vaccinations of audacious
conspiracies in the guise of so-called
trusts and combines; and whereas,
our prospects are now desperate and
becoming still more gloomy in conse.
quence of these despotic task masters,
who revel in their untold ill-gotten
millions at our expense and impover-
ishment and whereas, the most potent
way to meet and overthrow this
hidra-headed monster is by united,
lndlsoluble action in the use of the
powers we possess, by legislation,
through a representation that will
truly and heartily advocate and prose
cute our interests without fear or
favor. Therefore be it
ResOEOed, That we pledge ourselves
irrespective of any political party to
use every exertion at our command
to nominate and elect men to repre-.
sent US in State and National legisla
lures in whose probity, genuineness,
unblemished integrity, steadfastness
OF purpose and acknowledged ability,
we have an abiding faith and conf
uence; who will subserve the great end
Wehave in view by devoting themselves
more willingly, as representatives, to
tne furtherance of our sacred cause, in
us ultimate aims and cherished pur-
poses, to reach the goal of our material
salvation and Observation-Disclosures
from the unsufferable thraldom of a
worse than Egyptian bondage.
ASlgned UPTON B. GwYNN.
Inc following was offered by the
mover In support of the above:
Our future action based upon what
this resolution proposes, or what some
similar one may propose, is about the
most potent way to obviate the crv-
ing evils which beset us that 7 can
conceive of. We know well enouoh
what the remedy is or ought to be
but unfortunately the application Of
the antidote is the great desideratum
that puzzles us. But the remedy is
IN our own hands and we will have
nobody to blame but ourselves if we
tall to apply it. No set of people on
earth ever had such exasperating in
centlYes to spur them on to action as
we have. Neither the provocation
which brought about the old revolu.
uonary war which inspired the patri.
OTIS OF '76 to resistance unto death,
nor those which instigated the recent
terrible civil strife, afford greater in
cltement to resistance than the cansas
which actuate US in throwing off the
yoke by which our task mastars
couple US together. We bear witness
to the oppressive exorbitance of the
profits Of combined capitalists, while
the returns of honest, oyerworked
oVertasked toll are greatly inadequate

The OUTLOOK.
How much is this thing goin to amount to-
IS the question frequently asked OF course no
one can say definitely. In other parts Of the
country where par blight has done damage il
has been much worse during certain years than
others. Like other plant diseases due to fuagi
it is usually bad for two or tkr e years aud then
begins to disappear. perhaps to gain increase
after term Of year. There nave been so-called
periods of epidemic of pear alight which passed
over. Certain orchards ars always more or less
unlnJured. II Seemsre3sOnaols TO suppose tnen
that the present outbrs ak win not do more at
the most than damage the LeConte pear groves.
There are thousands of uninjured orchards and
still greater numbers of young orchards not
ready TO bear. Are these all TO be severely
handled before the disease takes the downward
tread There is still good ground for hope
for the pear growers in two lines. First, that
the disease will run its course and diminish in
verify. Second. that something may be found
which will prevent Infection of the trees. ami by
proper attention pears may be successfully
grown even if the blight should continue. The
pear growers may rest assured that if botanical
science can do anything toward carrying out
the second line, no effort will be spared 10 ac-
complish it. N. b WAITE,

OIHhh FEAR DlSfAoEo.
While visiting the pear orchards in the study
of blight another disease was freque tly OBJ
served, and was informed that it had done
considerable damage to some trees in past years
1t is known as the Leaf spot disease. 1t may be
recognized by small circular brown spots scat
tered over the leaves The same thing on the
fruit causes scabby, nasty appearance. The
spots are scarcely an eighth OF an
inch in diameter. each one being the
growth from a single spore. When a leaf has
very many of these spots on it it turns yellow
and fails off. In this way many trees may be
entirely defoliate1 by the end of June Tneee
leaf spots are the work of a small parasitic
fungus. 1t is much larger and higher up the
scale than the microbe, but it is still very
minute and not unlike this smaller beng in
it's physiological action. That is, it is a
destroyer of vegetation. At Boston four trees
were seen suffering and about to die from
disease known as root rot The top of the
tree presented a sckly yellow appearance,
alike all over with no local difficulties In such
o tree the cause of the trouble is usually to be
FOUND in the roots. Upon digging most of the
roots were found t. be killed by fungus which
had extended it's delicate network ofwhite
mould-like threads over and through them.
