LETTER FROM CABARRUS.

Flows, n. G.
Mr.. EDITORIALS you have never
heard anything from our Alliance,
we send you a few lines for publica
ton. 1t is time for the Alliance to
speak out and let the world know that
it is a compact, harmonious body of
working people, bound together as
one man to stand by and fight for our
interests.
Now this work is being done by a
regular business plan, and through
this plan, known to all Alliance men,
have come our demands, and among
these demands is the Sub Treasury
plan. Now it matters not what the
one-horse and two horse papers may
say about what has been published in
our organs concerning Senator Vance
and the Sub,Treasury bill, the Ali
ance is going to stand by the Sub
Treasury bill at every primary election
and at every ballot-box throughout
this country. We call upon the labor.
ing people everywhere to stand by
our ub-Treasury bill at each primary
election and at every ballot box. Our
council at Washington City will direct
our efforts, and let every man march
promptly to orders. We must fight
this fight under the very best of
guards and we believe we have got
them, so we will stand by them. Let
every man work for the principles Of
our order and we are bound to sue
ceed. If our public servants in Con
gross and every where else do not
take up our cause and help us, let it
be known on the house tops that they
can never be elected ss our. servants
again. Every public servant at
Washington and elsewhere does
not help us in this fight to rescue our
selves from the money power to OPP
press US, and shortly take from us our
homes, must be worked against, and
voted against, and in their places put
servants who will do our service glad
ly and willingly, men of patriotism
who can grasp the needs of the whole
people and cannot be bought by the
money class 10 pass laws especially IOr
their interest to the destruction of the
working class.
At our last meeting the following
resolutions were unanimously y adopted
WHEREAS, The National Economist
and The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, our
official organs, have so boldly and
fearlessly advocated our cause and
principles; therefore be it
ResOlved by this body, that we hear
tlly endorse every thing they have
said concerning the Sub-Treasury
bill.
Resolved, That copy of these 1eso
lutions be sent to The PROGRESSIVE

THE GREAT CRISIS.

1t is great uprising of the people,
such as only great occasions bring
forth. No greater crisis ever occur
red in any country than that to day
confr )nting the American people.
Shall all pretence of equality and
justice before the law cease, and the
masses become mere helpless slaves to
corrupt and insolent plutocracy? g? is
the question now before the people.
Too long-very much too long
have the people already neglected
their duty to see that this remains a
government of the people, by the
people, for the people. Blinded by
party prejudice and venerable political
superstitions, they have trusted the
government entirely to professional
politicians, and find too late that these
politicians were but the hirelings of
corporations and millionaire plutocrats,
and have sold the people into servi-
tude. Will the people, can the people
retrieve their past mistakes, and re-
cover their lost heritage Of liberty and
equality before the law? Is Senator
Ingalls, right in saying that politics is
battle for spoils, in which morality
has no place. and that the reform of
politics is an irridescent dream If
he is, the days of the republic are
ended, the reign of plutocracy con
irmed, and repetition of the down.
fall of the ancient republics already in
pro ess here. Have the American
people the manhood and intelligence,
he physical and moral stamina, to
assert their right to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness; to check
further infringements on their rights,
and restore the government to the
people to whom it belongs?
We are by no means sanguine that
this question should or can be an
swered in the affirmative, but yet
there is much to give reason to hope
that it might be so answered.
The corruption in high places has
flowed back through the people until
the once grand moral stamina Of the
American people has become weak,
and political corruption the rule rather
than the exception. Yet there are
to. day many men and women of
heroic mould, earnest patriotism and
enlightened philanthropy, there is an
active ferment of polite Il and eco
nomic thought and steadily increas-
ing intelligence concerning the rights
of man. On the other hand is the
power Of wealth, fashion, vested in
terests, party machinery, skilIfully or
ganized corporations, political and re-
ligious superstitions and prejudices,
and apathy and ignorance Of many
voters
1t is a great crisis, tremendous
conflict, and on the result depends the
future of the race.
Shall manhood or gold win =? Shall
We shame our Revolutionary sires by
failure to defend the liberty they won
for US, or honor them by showing the
stern virtue and manhood they dis
played in similar but less vital crisis.

MEETING OF BURKE COUNTY

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me a short

The meeting was called to order by

this additional, the question was
sprung as to what course Alliance

THE CALDWELL COUNTY ALI
ANCE.

A Brother Asks Some Questions.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In your issue of July
29th you give the demands of the
Caldwell County Alliance. 1t appears
that said Alliance has set up list of
demands of its own and proposes to
act independently of the State and
National Alliance. | would like to
ask our brothers OF Caldwell county
some questions for information. Your
leading demand is to abolish the
tariff. If you succeed, how will you
support the national government ?
Will you levy taxes on land and per-
sonal property and fill our country
with tax collectors from one end to the
other? If not, and you only propose
to reduce the tariff, how will you re-
duce it, (give the fgures)? The Mills
bill only reduced it about five and
onehaf per cent, and as the average
farmer only buys about one hundred
and fifty dollars per year of things
affected by the tariff, this would be a
saving of eight dollars and twenty-five
cents whereas with the Sub Treasury
the farmer would have saved the diff
ference in the price of his cotton be-
tween last fall and this spring, which
would have been nine dollars on each
bale Of cotton. So you see we could
save more on each bale Of cotton than
on all average purchases. (The tariff
has no effect on -four, meal and meat. J
think the same saving would be
made by the tobacco and other farm
ers. Please explain in figures how
your demands are better than the
State and National demands. Il takes
the consent of the President, Senate
and House Of Representatives to enact
law. The President is in for two
years yet, and the Senate is conceded
oy Democrats to be Republican until
1898 land how much longer the Lord
only knows). So give US 50 we can
understand it when you can get con.
trol OF Congress to put your demand
through. If not before 1898 | will
be dead and you will be broke. and
the whole country will have the lin.
iams
Another demand you set up is
State banks. Why do you favor cor.
Porations before the people Whv
90 you give to banking corporations
money at cost or only with nominal
Tax to loan to the people at a high
rate OF interest, instead of letting the
people nave 1t from the government
at nominal cost ? The S1 b. Treasury
Dill is the reverse of your demand
mas nothing to do with CORPORATIONS
out lets the people have the monev at
nominal cost. How will yoT oct
control Of the national government to
nave your demands enacted into
laws? please answer this in detail
Brothers of Caldwell, | ask these
questions and ask them hard 7
GUm fror1 .Ei understand your action, and
from this distance it reminds me Of

TILLERS IN THE TOILS--THE
WHEAT RING IN THE
NORTHWEST WILL
SQUEEZE THEM.
Alarming to Farmers--Elevators Not to
Store This Years Crop and
Farmers Must
Sell

CHICAGO, July 2l.-A special dis
patch from Jamestown, N. D., says:
1t will sse startling piece Of news to
the wheat growers of North Dakota
to find out on the eve of harvest thai
no elevator in the State will store
grain this year. This radical change
in the handling of the crop has been
kept as secret as possible. It was de-
termined upon, it is said, soon after
the law was passed this year which
makes all public elevators and ware,
houses pay an annual license of So SO
per 1000 bushels capacity. Nine
tenths of the crop of the State has
been heretofore bought by the ele
vator companies upon the Duluth and
Minneapolis quotations. A farmer
could store his grain in these ele-
vators for fifteen days for nothing
and keep it in store as long as he de-
sired to pay a small fee therefor.
Now the elevators will refuse this
on the ground that they are not pub
lie elevators, and the farmer who is
mortgaged to the ears will this year
0e compelled to sell his crop at what
ever price the company chooses to al
low him. In most cases this will
leave him penniless for the winter
The law was supposed to be reason
able one and was in the nature of a
tax not so easy to evade as the old tax
law has proved, but the companies, in
order to evade it, will resort to this
sweeping change, which will bring
misery on most of the wheat growers
of this State-a class of men having
from fifty to five hundred acres in
grain, which represents all they have
in the world and which now promises
the first actual return for their labor
in three years. By the plan Of fore
ing private buyers out of the small
stations and agreeing upon price the
principal elevators of the State will
have, as in the past, absolute control
of the enormous crop now heading
out This crop will be Sc large that
the railroad commissioners have stated
that all the railroads combined cannot
furnish cars to move it one-tenth as
fast as required. If the elevators de-
cline to store it the confusion and
dismay that will result will be some
thing unparalleled. Of course the
demand for cars will be immensely
increased. Farmers having had no
notice of the elevators action, will
not have time to build bins or ware
houses. Tney have, as rule, no
granaries now and cannot get money
to buy lumber for new ones to store
their own grain in.
Many of them bought seed wheat of
the elevator syndicate, organized by
Gov. Miller, this spring. This wheat
was-charged for at 81 bushel and
a lien taken on the crop, which pre-
vents the farmer from doing anything
with it except to turn it over to the
company as soon as thrashed. The
plan of the combine will result in an
agricultural panic for this section Of
the State.
