suggested that the money Or a good
share of it be appropriated to each
State for public improvements, build
-ings, etc. Nothing would be lost, a
demand for labor would be created,
raw and manufactured material would
be called for, the merchant, doctor,
and in fact all classes would feel the
distribution, and last but not least,
property would be created which
would be of value as it would be assets

ment. l very much fear this seemed
as ridiculous to them as their idea did
to me. | really don't know who is
right. 1 believe l am; if in error I'd
be glad to know it.
Now as to legislative ability, l mean
such as is really of benefit to the
masses. I observed that the men who
are actual and real toilers and know
what it is to handle a plow or an axe
are most attentive to their duties and
are always on hand to fight corrupt
measures and to propose and promote
good ones with an amount of good
sense which leaves no doubt as to
their capacity, and I do not hesitate
to say that McClammy, of the Sd dis
trict of North Carolina, has more real
force and weight than any other man
from North Carolina in the House of
Representatives. He is a farmer. l
do not say this to make %invidious dis
tinctiOns but to cite as a proof that
there is ability among the farmers if
they will develop it.
I called on the President and other
officers of the National Alliance and
Labor Union. l can say this to the
people they represent, if you sustain
them your ends will be accomplished.
There is an earnestness about the
management at the headquarters that
will not be baked. "Be true and
you'll find your leaders true" You
will meet with rough places, but gather
your strength and go on, the welfare
of this country is in your hands. See
to it that the future is better than the
past and present. That is your duty
as patriots. Let this be truly a gov
eminent of the people.

the sefshness and greed of corpora,

mortgaged on account of iniquitous
taxes and railroad determinations in
favor of monopoly and denominations
in the shape of trusts, and in every
village and crossroads are agents of
the money power, willing to loan
money to the farmer on EASY TERMS,
but under the eristing circumstances
how delusive are the hopes of those
who trust the userer, for when the

Fifteen hundred millions made rich
by the farmer and laborer seek still
further to centralize their power and
wealth to the detriment of the masses.
Ny brother, if you have joined the

interests, or to use the order as a tool
to further your selfish ends, you have
made a mistake, or if you r on the

Indifference you misinterpret the in

yourself right, chronic grumbling is

that some of the papers of this and
other States are disgruntled that the
people, I mean those who bear the
burden, have determined hereafter to
choose their lawmakers from amons
themselves. That the legislation of the
past quarter of a century has not been
beneficial to the laboring people. needs
no detailed evidence. 1t is apparent
to any observer. That fact is before
us every day, then it goes without de-
NAL that the legislators lacked either
knowledge or acted without a proper
sense of the duty they owed to their
constituents. Now if any one will
suggest some other plan than the one
proposed I shall be enlightened. A
legislator should be in perfect sym.
pathy with his constituents. He can
not be unless he is one of them. He
must know actually where and chow

founded upon the productions of the
soil, hence it does seem but fair to
suppose that the producers should
know best what they need, and | do
not believe it possible that they could
enact any law hurtful to any class.
Lately l was at the National Capi

resentatives of the people as to the
distressing condition of the people.
Almost without exception they ex-
pressed themselves as willing if thew
only knew how to afford relief. Now
I am sure if they were of the class and
had an actual knowledge of the dis
tress from experience, there would be
no trouble about finding a remedy

for labor and farm products. If our
esteemed servant Vance will work for
these, why, let him remain; other
wise, let him come home and try
farming awhile, and we will send a
man that will. Farmers have been
imposed upon long enough; our laws
have more to do with our present
financial condition than most of us
imagine. Farmers must have equal
rights and chances with the trader,
banker, and manufacturer. In one
sense he makes all, prices nothing.
Labor produces all wealth, but gets
nothing but a scant living; while the
rich are getting richer. The country
is going down, while the towns are
going up. There is something wrong.
Town clerks can wear fine clothes, eat
good rations, have money to spend,
and in 10 years have in cash and fine
buildings $4,000, while farmers with
800 acres of good land and plenty of
good stock and tools to begin with, by
working early and late, living hard
and wearing patched clothes and drink
ing no liquor, thinks he has been for
tunate if he clears $500 in 10 years.
This is not an imaginary picture.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again" God placed farming first,
and gave the farmers full control, and
it will be so again.
Now, Bro. Polk, I have worried
you long enough. viii say in con-
clusion that Penelope Alliance, No.

work and watching their interest,
while we do their cooking, washing,
making and patching, and I like to
have said praying.
Hoping you success, | am, your

THE TAR1FF
AZ and Al.
BY OLD FoaY.

These figures may seem strange as
a caption, but they present an object
lesson, that it would be well for all
to learn.
In the last national campaign the
leaders and the people discussed the
figures above and there was no other
issue before the people. It was dig
nifed by calling it an educational am
pGtgm.
I repeat it, that the last campaign
had no other issue than AZ and Al,
and I insist that the leaders of the
Democratic and Republican parties
wish the same issue for the years
~189O-'92-
The facts are, the average rate of
the present tariff is Al per cent, and
the Mills bill made the average Al per
cent Thus the great national bone,
for the political bulldogs to fight over,
was just the difference bet tween AZ
and Al. Old Fogy wants the farmers
to ask the old leaders what the aver
age rate per cent. of tariff was in 1866,
in 1875, and in 1886. You will be
surprised, provided they know the
facts, to find that, practically, the rate
per cent. has changed but little in all
these years. Now ask these modern
solons why it is that in 1866 we
could buy articles for the farm and
pay very much more for them than
now, and yet pay the higher prices so
much easier than now? Remember
that practically the tariff was the
same in 1866 as in 1886. Was it Al
or Al that made the difference?
Surely not, for as 1 have already
stated, practically the rate of taxation
by the tariff was the same. What,
then, is the solution of this problem?
In 1866 we had in circulation eighteen
hundred and sixty millions of dollars,
and it was in active circulation; to.
day or in 1886 we had about FIVE
hundred millions, and the circulation
was not active but congested, the points
of congestion was the national banks
boarding the money, and by law not
allowing one dollar to be invested in
real estate as security for loans. The
per capita in 1866 was over so dol
lars, while today it is only v dol
lars per capita.
In 1857 the failures in u country
amounted to about ninety-six millions
of dollars, while in 1885 the failures
amounted to two hundred and sixty
millions of dollars. The AZ and Al
comes in at this point again.
The higher the tariff the better the
opportunities for the manufacturer-
all will admit this proposition-were
1t not so, the manufacturers would
not want the present rate maintained,
and the higher the tariff the better
the opportunities for business men,
all other things being equal, but the
facts show that the Al and Al cuts
much less figure than we have been led
to suppose.
The facts are, good times IN all cOun-
tries and at all times occurred omIq
when there was an abundance of cir
culating medium. We challenge any
one to dtsprOVe By facts and figures his
proposition.
To-day the old leaders are anxious
to have the people take up the same
old issue. The people on the contrary
are anxious to lap the axe at the root
of the tree of corruption and not
waste time trimming off the branches.
We want the money question settled,
we want a system whereby the people
ali the people-ean have an equal
chance, and we will not be satisfied
with anything short of this.
