ANRW MAsoN'S AND DIXoN'S
LINE.

The war obliterated the old Mason's
and Dixon's line. 1t is a thing OF the
past. 1t is history.
North of the old line a majority OF
the voters favored one plan, one
method, one idea. South of it a ma,
iority favored the reverse.
The Farmers Alliance is now o.
literating the old line by giving US a
new policy. The new line, the new
Mason's and Dlxon's line, or the
Farmers and Alliance line will be
drawn from Toledo, on the western
extremity of Lake Erie, to the mouth
of the Potomac. East, north and
northeast of this line ~plutocracy has
it's seat and center. 1t is the manu-
featuring end of the United States.
All South and wes5 agriculture pre-
dominates. The United States has
an area of over $500, 900 square
miles and less than 200, 900 square
miles of it lies east and north of this
new line. .
About one eighteenth part of the
United States is the tail but it wags
the dog. Less than 20 of the IS
millions of people live northeast of
this new dividing line. Of the so
billions of dollars of wealth in the
United States one-half or 10000
millions of wealth lie east of this line
The platforms Of the Democratic and
Republican parties are formulated in
its center.
Will the people longer allow the
tail to wag the dog? The great
struggle for the supremacy Of power
lies bet ween the interests of the peo-
pie on either side of this line. On
the one side is the concentration of
the money power of the country. On
the other all those resources and in
dustries and interests upon which this
money power has grown and waxed
fat. What will the issue be e.? If the
people are true to themselves, to their
country and to their God, the days of
~plutocracy are numbered. Let the
people watch and be prudent.

Christ. Love glori6es and transfg-
ares everything, converting sacrifice
into triumph and cross bearing into
coronation. The thoughts and dictlon
we're striking in their force and
beauty. A deep impression was made
as the eloquent speaker commended
the beauty of holiness"
Rev. DR.. J. L. Carroll, of Ashevllle,
has published a tract on The heather
Lost without the Gospel" and the
Biblical Recorder says it is n OF the
most convincing arguments that we
have seer on that line. AS In bis
preaching, DR.. Carroll in this tract
goes to the word of the Lord for the
facts which tell for good. 1t ought
to have a world wide circulation, and
we trust our people will give 1t the
attention which it so richly deserves.
The Atlanta Journal of the 26th
ult., says: "A great meeting at the
tent on the corner of Foundry and
Mangum streets is being conducted by
Rev. W. P. Smith and B. F. Payne.
Hundreds of kind Christian friends
from all parts of the city have been
present and did good service in this
meeting. An estimate of the number
of conversions cannot be had, but 1t
is thought that it amounts to several
hundred" This evangelist was in
Raleigh with his tent some weeks ago,
but the meeting was not a success.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The weather is intensely hot and
Congressman may be seen hopping
their faces and looking profane any
time from II to 5.
: Col. L. L. Polk, President of the F.
A. and |. o., left the national capital
at $3.50 P. NJ, June "a, for d tour West
and Northwest among the Alliances.
He will make addresses in thirteen
States on this ZIP AMI will be absent
if health permits ABOUT 40 days.
The National Executive Com
mittee has been in session for nearly
a week, The brethren may expect
very important results. In my opin,
ion, 1891 will be the banner year for
organization. Our numbers are rap
idly increasing and the people are
growing nOn ~partizan.
Blaine's discussion OF tariff duties
from the Farmers and Laborers'
standpoint is very suggestive. 1t
does not look now as if he would be
supported either by Congress or the
Administration. The Democrats, if
wise, will push it; if they do not, the
Republicans from the North vest will
endeavor to make political capital out
of it in the campaign.
1t has been charged because 1 wrote
what is known as the McClammy bill
that | have also written speeches for
the Major. The truth is. he is able to
write a much better speech than I
possibly could, and l have never writ
ten a speech for the Major. [ do not
believe that one bill in 500 is written
by the member that introduces it.
Senator Vance had nothing to do in
writing the Suo-Treasury bill or scores
of other bills he has introduced. And
this is equally true of all others.
The party caucus holds it's members
together fairly we'll, but the dispatch
has not been maintained since the
election. Silver and pension bills
came before the House. Some sin.
gular facts about the silver bill has
already been brought out and we ex
pect by tomorrow night there will be
surprises in store for more than one
The ablest speech ever delivered on
the silver question was delivered by
Senator Jones with Senator Daniels a
close second. Senator Jones speech
is a text book on the subject.
Newspaper correspondents are verv
busy manufacturing tales to order
against the chosen leaders of the
farmers movement. 1t was charged
that House bill number 10, 553 was in
troduced by the Major as a substitute
for the Sub-Treasury bill. This is
false. The bill is a compromise meas
are for getting currency in the hands
of the people, to lessen their taxation.
to increase tn efficiency of our schools,
and combines the Featherston, Stan.
ford and Cowles county plan with
Senator Blair's school plan. There is
nothing in common with the Sub.
Treasury except that either would in
crease the currency and reduce the
rate of interest, but the central idea
of the Sub-Treasury is a flexible
volume and no other bill does this
save the Sub. Treasury.
