They have demanded Of the farmers that
they disband their organization, and have
the letters of capital eternally fastened
upon their limbs, or they will first con-
fscate their crops and then drive them
from their homes.
But we warn these autocrats that the
Alliance is but a slumbering lion, and it
will take but the dropping Of straw to
arouse it. We have the numbers, and if
driven to desperation will use our power
to defend our homes and families. In
many states we have the legislatures,
the courts and the juries, and if driven
to the last extremity will use these agen-
cies to thwart our tyrannical enemies.
Georgia farmers do not intend to be
robbed of their harvests by spectators
and gold kings, and forced to sell at
their bidding.
The man who thinks he can buy the
farmers cotton next fall at six or seven
cents is sadly mistaken. If nothing else
but ruin will suit these Wall street gold
kings, wreck and ruin shall they have,
Like Samson of old, will the Alliance
pull down the temple of justice upon
the heads of themselves and their enemies
alike. They do not propose that one
class shall be beggared and the other
made richer.
The Wall street tyrants had better
heed this note of warning. You are
now sowing the zephyr and will reap
the tempest. The road to anarchy is
paved with ruined homes. Alliance
men are not anarchists, but if you per-
secute them much longer they will lock
the door Of every court house in Geor-
gia and place the key in the farmers
pocket.-Southern Alliance Farmer.

A CHURCH,

A Great NumEe. of Men Were Neces iary
to Conduct Its Work.
AS for the vast numbers actually
maintained by the church, the single
example of st. Paul's Cathedral, of
course the largest foundation in the
city, will furnish an illustration. In
the year 1850 the society, the cathed-
raj body. included the following: the
bishop, the dean. the four archdea-
cons. the treasurer, the %precentor. the
chancellor. thirty greater canons.
twelve lesser canons. about fifty chap
lains, or chantry priests, and thirty
Wears. Of inferior rank to these were
the sacrist and three vergers, the sue
centor, the master of the singing
school. the master of the grammar.
school, the almcner and his
four vergers, the servitors. the
surveyor, the twelve scribes, the
book transcriber. the bookbinder,
the chamberlain, the rent- collector,
the baker, the brewer-the brewer,
who brewed in the year 1886, 81, 814
gallons, must have employed a good
many; the baker, who ovened every
year 40, 900 loaves, or every
day more than a hundred, large
and small, employed q good
many more-the servants of all these
otfcers-the singing-men and choir
boys, of whom priests We're made, the
bedesinen and poor folk, the sections,
grave-diggers, gardeners, bell-ringers,
makers and members of the ecclesias-
teal robes, cleaners and weepe
carpenters, masons, painters, carvers
and gilders-one can very well under
stand that the Church of St. Paul's
alone must have found livelihood for
thousands.
The same equipment was necessary
in every other religious foundation.
Not a monastery but had its greater
and lesser officers and their servants.
In every one there were the bell-ring-
ers, the singing men and boys. the
vergers, the gardeners, the brewers,
bakers, cooks, messengers, scribes,
rent collectors. and all complete as
was St. Paul's, though on a smaller
scale. 1t does not seem too much to
estimate the ecclesiastical establish
ments OF London as including a fourth
part of the whole population of the
city.-Harper's Magazine.

The Georgia state Alliance convention
held its annual meeting last week in this
city. The growth of the order has been
remarkable not only i'll this state, but all
over the south and west since the last
meeting one ear ago. In fact, not in
the history of this country asthere been
such rapid strides in any organization as
there has been in the Farmers Alliance
movement. The results that followed
this organization have been just as re-
luarkable. 1t would be too tedious to
enumerate what has been done in the
political field, and to show how this
organization has aided the farmer in
various ways. Certainly the most san
guine friend Of the farmer could not
have expected as much as has been
accomplished in one year. But the work
mas only commenced.
Let us consider a few things that have
been accomplished as a prelude to what
may be expected if the same line is fol.
lowed.
The Alliance movement utterly and
completely killed the bagging trust and
stopped the robbery contemplated before
it left the stage of intent and attempt on
the part Of tile perpetrators.
They elected several members to con.
Sress pledged to a strong policy Of re-
form in the next congress, not only or
the tariff laws, but on the financial,
questions that have been such a griev.
Gus burden on the farmers all over the
land.
They have educated the farmers in al
most every county in the state until it is
now a difficult matter to deceive them
on leading questions that affect their in
terestS
These arg but a few Of the main bene
fits that have been accomplished. There
is not a county in the state that cannot
add to this list benefits that have beer
derived from this organization. -Atlant;

lnaP contamination of the measures we
sesek to establish.
ignorance and superstition are oul
greatest obstacles. Prejudice is easily
erected upon such foundations. Men
don't need to know anything-they don't
even need to nave any brains in order to
entertain Il prejudice for or against men
who have been lied about or measures Of
which they know nothing. Understand
ing this fact, the %plutocratic newspapers
who do obedience to Wall street have
begun a systematic campaign of false
hood and %vilification against the Ali.
ance leaders north and south.
There is a syndicate Of corporation
newspapers in the south and north con
trolling the associated press dispatches.
and it is noticeable that every new false.
hood and every fresh attack upon the
Alliance leadership appears simultane.

York. Chicago, Cincinnati, Omaha and
st. Paul, and the Democratic papers IN

ton with their so called news bureau,
and that from this bureau emanates the
Islander and falsehood which are expect
ed to be taken up and heralded over the
rural precincts by the littlejohn news
paper editors who take their inspiration
from the bureau.
When you see these things in print or
are confronted with them in discussion,
denounce and deny them, for you can
safely do so. If you have corrupt men
Ill your leadership you can put them out
and get rid of them efectually through
the regular methods provided in your
organization. When "a gang pounces

wolves after prey, stand it off, at least
till You nave had an opportunity to in

as valiantly for your leaders as they
fight for yon, and the systematic SANDER
and abuse of your leaders will soon give
place to different methods.
Without Il leadership your cause is as
hopeless as an army without Il comman.
der a leadership is more essential to
the cause than the lay membership is to
the leaders. When your leaders are at.

It is now perfectly plain to every %

Wall street have declared a boycott
against the farmers, and will not let
them have the necessary currency to
transact business. They openly declare
that unless the Alliance agitation ceases,
no money shall be furnished to move the
ripening crops. Our southern banks are
not to blame, for they have labored hard
and earnestly to secure money for Their
patrons, but without avail.
At this season every year arrange
