SOMETHING o

A SHORT time ago, in New York
n City, a Jewish family took poison
and ended their miserable ex stence.
The Jews are a thrifty people. But
the husband had been out of work for
some weeks. He spent many days
trying to get work. His wife pawned
everything for eatables. At last the
end came. A deadly drug put a stop
to their suffering. Only a few blocks
from there live the Goulds, Wander,
bits, and dozens of other mllltonaires,
with their $4,000 a year cooks to
prepare for them the most costly
viands, in the richest and most pal4t-
able manner. Thousands of people
starving, hundreds living in stump
tuous style and wearing 6ne linen
every day. Wh.taspectacle The pro
duce markets overfo wing with eatables
of every description, much Of it spoil
ing before the owners can dispose of
it. Some of these rich men could not
spend their incomes if they should
try. There are hundreds of people
in large cities who are driven to re-
fuse barrels to keep from starving.
This pitiable condition of the many is
the result of class legislation in the
interest of the few. When one gets
what he does not earn, the other earns
what he does not get and must suffer
in consequence.
Some say one thing, some another.
Who is right ? This we do know: we
know that people who work as hard
and economic as much, often fail to
exc out a miserable existence, while a
fen others get vastly rich. Our ideas
about it may be all wrong. But>some
thing is wrong. There is a cause;
there is a remedy. 1t is our duty to
search for both.

TROUBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

\ DISP ATCH to the Atlanta Jour
N nal, last Wednesday, gave an
account of a difference between citi,
zens and surveyors representing the
M-rganton Land and Improvement
Company.
Many years ago the s ate of North
Carolina made a gram of about 70, 900
acres of lanG to one Robert Henry.
Since that time the land has been
bought and settled by many families.
Some fifteen years ago an attempt
was made to wrest the land from the
settlers. But the courts of Mcdowell,
Mitchell aud Yancey counties held
that the deeds were good, and the
claimants were chased out of the
neighb orhood by the citizens.
A few days ago a party o. surveyors,
headed by Richard Williams, were
sent to survey the lands. They
stopped to spend the night at a house
on B ack mountain Notice was
served upon them during the night
that unless they were gone before
sunrise they would be riddled with
buckshot. They soon got a move on
them and walked fifteen miles before
sunrise. If the Land and Improve
ment Company persist in their effort
to get possession of the land, there
will be bloodshed. 1t is a great pity
that there is so much land in our
S ate that is held by alleged imperfect
titles. Doubtless these citizens in the
mountains hold good titles, but in
many instances titles are worthless or
nearly so, and have been a source of
much strife and litigation.

WALL STREET MAILING.

THE United States Treasury, which
Il of late years has been run on
Wall street, New York, is just now
in a teverish condiG on. A huge panic
in money matters is on the tapis.
Money has been loaned at the rate of
1873 per cent. per annum within the
past ten days. The gamblers became
frightened and called on Window
Justify for help. Mr.. Window rushed
TO their rescue, and all manner of de.
vices, known only to modern Ameri.
can fnanciers, were employed to stay
what was feared was another "black
Friday"
The money of the country, under
unjust and corrupt legislation, has
been gobbled up by the few. The
many are without money. Our circu-
lating medium is totally inadequate to
the legitimate demands of the bust
LES Of the country. When Wall
street money,lords and gamblers are
threatened with a panic, the govern
ment taxes its every energy to save
them, but it is needless and deaf
when the people, who carr and make
the money, appeal to it for aid. There
is a panic in the house of almost every
farmer and laboring man in the
country, but they get no relief. Con
gress refuses to pass any measure for
their relief. The revenues of the gov,
eminent, provided for, amounts to
$3.50, 600, 600, and Congress has al
ready appropriated $46I, 600, 900.
National banks revel on the earnings
of the blood, brain, muscle and sweat
of the country. Secretary Window,
President Harrison and all the friends
of Wall street may pay interest on
bonds and resort to all n of
schemes, but so long as the money of
the country is controlled by the few,
all their plans a be but expedients.
We may look for panics and black
Fridays so long as the present unjust

WHAT HAS 1T DONE ?

THE Washington papers say that
L Congress will adjourn, probably,
this week. That body has been in
continuous session for over nine
months. 1t has cost the country yer
two and a fourth million dollars in
salaries alone. Can they point to any
legislation for the benefit of the coun.
try? What have they done? We
do not believe that any Congress has
ever set so long and done so little.
Can trey point to a single measure for
the relief of the people? Not one.
AMI yet because the honest, toiling,
tax p lying, tax ridden and tax-cursed
far. 4lers want to send men to Cor
gress who are identified with their
interests and who sympathize with
them in their oppression and who will
earnestly strive to give them justice,
they are charged with all manner of
evil purposes and designs. We tell
the farmers of the country again and
we intend to repeat it again and again,
that they owe it to themselves, to their
country and to their posteraty to send more
farmers to the American Congress. The
farmers have been deceived and trifed
with long enough.

NEW ENGLAND ABANDONED
FARMS.

TT has been said that the farmers OF
the North never would join the
farmers of the South in a crusade for
right and justice. Recently things
have changed wonderfully up North.
The farmers are beginning to realize
the fact that sectional speeches do not
feed and clothe their children and pay
debts. If there is any doubt about a
need of some remedy, the following
will make another link in the chain OF
proof:
Judge Mott, of the court OF claims
has issued a pamphlet on "The reason
for the decline of farm values in New
England" in which appears this pa
thetic descrip ion of a deserted New
England village. The poetry of a
Goldsmith could add nothing to the
effect of the plain statement:
Midway between Williamstown
and Peterborough"
Says Judge Mott
al saw on the summit OF a hill
against the evening sky what seemed
a large cathedral. Driving thither l
found a huge old time, two-story
church, a large arcade my (which had
blended in the distance with the
church), a village with a broad street,
perhaps 100 feet in width. [ drove
on and found that the church was
abandoned, the academy dis mantled,
the village deserted. The farmer who
owned the farm on the north of the
village lived on one side of the broad
street, and he who owned the farm on
the south lived on the other, and they
we're the only inhabitants. All the
others had gone to the manufacturing
villages, to the great cities, to the
west. Here had been industry, educa
ton, religion, comfort and content
ment, but there remained only a
drear solitude of forsaken homes"

WE CAN WAIT "A WHILE.

TN his speech at Goldsboro, a few
DAYS ago, Senator Vance said that
ne was not in favor of s~bolishing the
national banks at once without giving
proper time to meet the wants of the
people; that such a course could not
result in anything hut ruin I the
people and cause thousands of dollars
worth of property to DE sold at a
mere song" He also said that ono
rational man wou d for a moment
suppose that the State DemocrA tic
Convention intended mat they should
a. once be abolished without affording
time for proper remedies to meet the
requirements Of the people in lieu OF
them"
Now we cheerfully accord Senator
Vance or anybody else the privilege
of saying this by way of explanation
and in defense of the action
of the convention. We suppose
we can be allowed the privilege of
saying the same for the National Al
lance, at ST. Louis, last December.
The Alliance did not demand that ma
tional banks or anything else be abol-
ished at once, without affording proper
remedies to meet the requirements of
the people. There was no day nor no
hour named to begin the work of de
struction. However, we ought to ADD
do demand that our Congressman and
Senators quit wrangling among them,
selves and try to do something for
their country before it is everlasting
ly too late. Be it understood that
this is not intended to hit any Of them
personally, but we are tired, tired
waiting. The Alliance wants no un-
wise legislation rushed through at
once or at all. But if something is
not done, the Alliance will be COM
PEELED to "abolish our national leg
islators. A few Congressman have
been abolished this year, and it may
become necessary to abolish most of
those now holding forth. We can
wait weeks, or even months, but we
cannot wait a thousand years.

A PLAN TO S ORE COTTON.

4 MONTGOMERY, Ala, special a
IA few days ago announced tina a
plan had been perfected by which two
million bales of cotton could be placed
in warehouses, and that European
capitalists would advance $32 dollars
on each bale at 4 per cent. per annum.
Whether this is true or not in every
particular we are not prepared to say.
The dispatch referred to gives the
following account of the matter:
A prominent Alliance man from the
South, who is in the city today to
confer with the representatives OF
fOrei5n capitalists on the su oject, and
who is on tn inside, said to the Jour-
nal correspondent this morning.
"The National Alliance has achieved
a great work. The cotton committee
of the National body has completed
arrangements with European capital
lists to advance $32 per bale on 1000
600 bales of American cotton to be
stored in the warehouses of the South
for a period Of one year, allowing the
farmer to dispose of the cotton any
Time during the year should the price
advance to his satisfaction. The Euro
pean syndicate which advances this
money on the cotton will charge 4 per
cent. per annum in their interest, and
will be fully secured, on which the
advance is made.
Tboco p OuopaD+C pooon +bo+
the farmers will have the use of 1884,
600, 600 and at the same time keep
1000, 600 bales Of cotton out of the
market.
"This money comes at the very
lowest rate of interest that could be
asked, and the arrangement cannot
fail to produce a marked advance in
the price of cotton, as it virtually
withdraws at one over ~one-fourth Of
the crop of the country
We notice that one or two of our
State papers have already began to
discourage the idea Of the farmers
holding their cotton. We suppose
this is on account of the Sub Treasury
features of the scheme. Should this
plan be carried out and re successful,
no power on earth could prevent our
getting the Sub Treasury, for the plan
above mentioned is simply the Sub
Treasury by individuals instead of the
government. According to the mo
nopolistic papers, the country would
be ruined if~the Sub Treasury bill
should become a law. Hence this
plea that in storing cotton the price
would not be raised. This doctrine is
as absurd a S it is false.
