ITO believe" Mr.. Hall, who, by the
way, was alluded to this afternoon by
delegate as "a very small peg, wobbling
around in a very large hole" is in the
meantime circulating among the dele
gates now discussing the ''pearl but
ton" question here, the tariff on pota-
toes there, and dodging the silver ques-
tiOn all the time. That the lite m an
from Washington is dreadfully worried
is plainly evident. He feels his po sition
keenly, and were it possible for him to
do so gracefully there is little doubt
that he would at once pull out of the
race, decline the nomination, and go
back to his farm on the shores of Lake
Preston in Renville county and go to

idea of running for the state senate
again in his old district.

This seems, to be the view of some
of our merchants. Because we,
through our agents, orter our supplies
at wholesale prices, and refuse to let
them continue to bleed us as hereto
fore, they cry out. that they will fight
us as long as we fgb5 them. Now we
do no propose to fight them, nor any
other fair, Legitimate business, but we
will fight unjust oppression from any
source, to the bitter end. For this,
Pamlico County Alliance is allied;
and if trusts, monopOlies, high tariff
or any other forms of oppression are
to continue, then, when Gabriel tolls

may the Alliance be found liz one solid

BANK PROFITS.

Here is an object lesson, given by
the knights Of Labor Journal, that you
will do we'll to study:
Does the national bank system tend
to the concentration of wealth in the
hands of the bankers Let us look
at this a moment. The best known
bank in the United States is probably
the Chemical National Bank Of New
York. It's original capital stock was
$500, 900, and the par value of it's
shares was 500. A little while ago
ten shares of this bank we're sold at
auction and brought S45, 900. Now,
just figure this out. If ten shares are
worth $45, 900, how much are 5000
shares worth? $l3, $50, 900, is it not2
No wealth concentrated in the hands
of the national bankers, Ell! Where
do you suppose the $780, 900,
which represent the difference be-
tween the original investment of
$500, 600 and the present value of the
s fock under the hammer, came from ?
Have you an idea that they planted
the money in their backyard and dug
it up again after the crop had ripened?
Thirteen odd millions represent just
SO much of the wealth of the country
that has been concentrated by this one
bank. Another little fact which it
may not be amiss to note just here is
that this bank pays dividends of Is
per cent. every two months and has
been doing so for years. Oh, nation.
al banking don't pay; there's no profit
in it. Bless you, no, no profit. It's
no profit, it's larceny.

A BAIT FOR NORTH CAROLINA
FARMERS.
Especial Cor. of State Chronicle. ]

The ~inglorious cola pse of the pool
of fertilizer manufacturers who pro-
posed to test the constitutionality of
the North Carolina law licensing
brands and placing "a safeguard be-
tween the farmer and the greed of un-
scrupulous men, was caused by the
unanimous decision of the one hun
dred thousand members of the Farm
ers' Alliance to buy no fertilizer made
by members of the pool. One lone
company carries on the fight, and has
such a small opinion of the farmers of
North Carolina as to make them the
contemplate offer of a rebate of
TWENTY FIv CENTS PER TON on all fer
tilizers bought from them, PROVIDED
the company succeeds in annulling
the law, destroying the fertilizer con
troll and the Agricultural College, and
leaving the farmers a prey to ali who
choose to cheat in fertilizers. This
transparent scheme appears in the
NeUs and Observer of March 18th over
the signature of a writer who calls
himself "Justice."
In the advertisement of the com
pany they claim that tie farmers pay
this $500 tax in the end, but the fact
is that the fertilizers are sold just as
cheaply here as elsewhere, and were
the tax removed not one in a hundred
would sell their goods cheaper, anC
many would be enabled by the re
moval of the watch set on them to re
duce actual value many times NOR
than Is cents per ton, and the expert
ence of the past shows that thew would
not be slow in doing it.
The American Fertilizer Comnany
grossly unestimates the motives which
govern the farmers of North Carolin,
in their fight against this attempt t,
remove the safeguards which the Law
throws around them; and this offer o
a "mess of pottage" will fall fat. G
today into the warehouses of dealer
in fertilizers in any village in Mort

A LETTER AND SOME RESOLU-
FLONS CONCERNING GUANO.

ME-. EDIToR:-There are a few
facts known to us in reference to the
big guanO firm of Messrs. Allison &
Allison, of Richmond, Va, which we
desire you to publish together with
the accompanying resolutions:
Last year we wrote them asking
what they would sell US "Ssar Brand
Special and "Anchor Brand " fertil-
izers for cash by the a load. They
replied $32,5O per ton, stating that
this was as low as the goods could be
furnished. We afterwards bought
the same brands for $29.5O per ton
in any quantity, even a single bag,
and this, too, from their agents.
A few days ago we wrote them
again offering them $27 per ton, Car
load lots, cash for said brands. They
replied, offering them to US at SIS
per ton, saying that was as zo1O as the
guamos could possibly be sold. We
learned in the meantime hat they
were selling them to their agents at
even a less price than We had offered
them.
Just as we were expecting 20 get,
as last year, better terms from their
agents for their own guanos than
from them, the manufacturers, along
comes the general agent If the firm in
a two-horse buggy with a negro driv,
ing hir, the expense of which of
course has to be added to the cost of
the guauos and paid for by the farm
ers, issuing orders that any agent who
sells for less than $28 per ton will at
once be dismissed. la consequence it
comes to this: If the Alliances gets
any g1anos they must pay US mere
for them than those not members, for
we will not sell for less nor allo v any
one else to do so. Now you old
farmers come in to terms as usual.
This state of facts necessitated the
following resolutions which we're
passed with a vim that indicated busl-
ness:
WHEREAS, Messrs. Allison & Add.
son, of Richmond, Va, in additi IN to
leading the spool" to evade the pay
ment of the license tax Of $500, to
sell guanos in this State, are also pro-
tossing to be making especial" terms
with the Alliance on their guano5;
and whereas, as it appears that these
especial terms are a mere sham
from the fact that they have one
price to their agents and a higher
price to the Alliance; and whereas,
we are informed thai they positively
forbid their agents selling to the ALI,
ance for a less price than they have
fixed; and whereas, it is directly con
trary to the principles of the Alliance
to buy from any man or set of men
who discriminate against the Alliance
therefore be it
ResOtUed, That we will not use a
single pound of the guano manufac
tured by this firm as long as such g
state of facts exist.
ReSOtVed, That we request each and
every Alliance to adopt and carry out
said resolutions or some similar il
effect.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to THE PRoGREss1v1

the same.
