George NJ. NIilmer, editor, in speaking of
this new address to the farmers, says:
I'VE still believe that a large amount of
grain Will be held back and that the rush
is practically over. Our adyices from 4
thousand correspondents are all to this
effect. The winter wheat rush is prac-
tically over now These early sales were
by those who were distressed for money,
and those who were not connected with the
Alliance. We do not believe that the ma

cooperate with spectators to depress

that prices will take turn upward in a

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. IA, Is

The Manufacturers Record of September

The recent advance in cotton, and the
assurance of the largest grain crops for
many Years, have still further strengthened
the position of the South in all business
and financial matters, and everything in

The tendency OF capital seeking invest

other country possesses such wonderful
resources, and nowhere else are the posi-
bilities of profitable development SO prom

South's foreign trade and the position of

grain of the West is illust ated by the fact
that Galveston Is TO have . LOO, 000-bushcl

bushels capacity, while the grain trade at
Norfolk has developed SO rapidly that the
elevator there has been unable to handle the
business, and Il floating elevator has been
secured from New York, and even one of
the big coal piers is being used in helping
to transfer the immense traffic from the

Hall Interviewed.

L. s. Hall. ex-president of the Missouri
Farmers Alliance, who is engineering the
movement against the third party and sub
treasury wing. and who called the conven-
ton which will meet here tomorrow morn
ms, was seen by an Associated Press re-
porter this evening and questioned in re-
gard to the disagreement and elimination
which have been features of Alliance
literature for long time past. 1t will be
remem oered that at the time Of the Ocala
convention an investigation was had into
the so-called crooked methods of President
Macune OF the national body, and that the
report of the investigating committee viz
tuGlly eXonerated Macune from all wrong
doings. This was called whitewash by
those of the members of the Alliance who
were opposed to AIacune.
The Kansas City Times of July Il con-
tanned an Interview with Frank McGrath,
president Of the Kansas Alliance in which
that gentleman was quoted as saying that
Macune was a scoundrel. and that he MA
cunel was working TO break up the ALI
ance; that he had received money from Pat
Calhoun as bride to aid his election to the
United States senate; that he regretted
very much that he was forced
to sign the report generating Macune. ow-
ing to the fact that it was the only means of
saving the Alliance from disruption, and
that he was standing with President Hall
TO the last to eXpel AIacune. Shortly after
the Times article appeared the National
Economist, the organ of the national AL
lance, came out editorially and denied that
N1cGrath had ever uttered the words at

or not the McGrath interview was anthem

is TO create an industrial alliance and adopt
policy as to eligibility that will admit
powerful classes heretofore excluded from
membership. The order is to be non-politi-

Delegates from Texas, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Kansas and Minnesota have ar

third-party wing of the Farmers Alliance.

an attendance of between 100 and 600 dele
gates. The Texas delegation where the Al
lance originated, is z unit for :; new organ
ization, and lot of hard work is being done
in that direction. The consensus of opinion
seems to be that a new national Alliance is
a certainty. EX-Lecturer McAlliSter, who
recently had 4 scrinma re with Macune, is
outspoken for the new OF yanization.
