lana; barely 8 per cent. of it is paid
by. the people of this State; 81 per
cent. of it comes from other States
and Territories"
This fagrantly vicious argument
emphatically demonstrates the business
of the request which this memorial
makes. The evil is a vast one; it is a
national one; it has existed for twenty
years. During that time it has taken
from the honest people of the United
States an enormous amount of money.
Its continuance is threatened, not for
a brief period, but for a period of a
quarter of a century. The submission
of the amendment will not only
eradicate it in its present form, but
will render it's recurrence impossible,
and will thus at once put an end to
what, it is submitted, has become one
of the most crying of national evils.
Respectfully submitted,
L L Polk,
President National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, and Chair.

TO COUNTY AND SUB-ALLI.
ANCES.

1 now call upon all County and Sub
Alliances to send in their orders for N. c..
F. A. Official Gusno early. There are
many reasons why it should be done.
If your orders are placed early, the goods
can be placed at your depots, and you
can have it out at your W convenience
n the transportation companies will
not be so crowded when the rush for
guano is on. It will cost you no more as
interest does not begin till April 1st. Send
in the company's printed notes, and if you
wish to pay cash at any time you can
take up your notes and stop interest.
We expect a very large trade in guano
this year and will be able to furnish all
who wish it if orders will be sent in good
time. But if ali wait till about the time
to commence using it, the transportation
companies cannot move it as fast as it is
wanted. At next county meetings, on
the second Friday 10 January, it would
% well to have the matter discussed and
estimate of amount wanted and forward
to the company. Although the price of
materials are higher, we pay the same
for the goods and have it guaranteed to
be fully up to what it was last season.
Please bring this matter before each
Sub-Alliance.

WHEREAS, This Alliance, No. 642,

terest the great and grand spirit of
Christian forgiveness as instanced in

faulters, embezzlers and forgers, who,

cent. Mercy has been shown them,
and they have been restored to their
families. Also in the case of Wilson,

enough" and he has been restored to
liberty.

To the brethren who have received cir
culars from the Secretary of the Bagging
Committee, I viii say that said Commit
tee, nor any n else has in any way the
right OF authority to contract for the
Business Agent of North Carolina. The
circular letter sent to the Secretary of the
Alliance of the State was only an inc 1irY
about how much bagging would be prob
ably needed this season They make no
contract that binds the State Agent for
bagging or anything else.
Yours truly,

By request of a friend, we publ sh
Mr.. Rays speech seconding the nomi-
aation of Senator Vance. The follow
ing is the speech:
h Mr.. Ray said.
Nh, SPEAKER: Coming as | do
from a section of the State where the
tall mountain peaks rise in the sunlight
above the home of the clouds and the
pure mountain zephyrs heal with a
touch of their wing and bring back to
the invalid's cheek the tbrob and
thrill of hope and life again, it is my
proud privilege TO voice the sentiments
and proclaim the love and venerst on
of the noble people for one of the
greatest Americans living or dead!
In the great struggle of the people
for financial reform and for freedom
from Republican Tyranny and oppres-
sion he has always been found in the
front ranks with the banner of the
people waving to the breezes. He
has been true to the South through
goad and through evil report. Not
only has he helped fight bravely the
battles of peace, but in those dark
hours of trials and tears he went with
our people down through the valley
of the shadow of death and stuck to
them till the war cloud was lifted
from the land and the rainbow of
hope again set in the heavens Though
there twas not a flower left on the
stalk to tell where the garden had
been," yet he went to work to build up
the waste places and make them smile
again as of yore. There were those
in u midst who stood as it we're by
the brink of the grave where the PEG
pies hopes were buried beneath the
coffin lids on Southern battlefelds and
famed the flames of feeling and de
spair and declared "that not all the
rain that falls on the mountains sides
and swell the banks of the Potomac
or Mississippi, or Cumberland could
ever wash away from kindred hearts
memories of the precious blood shed
by the cruel war;" while Zebulon B.
Vance turned the people from the
scenes of mounful memories to the
dawn of a better and brighter day
when the brave AMI noble deeds of
those who wore the gray and slept on
Southern battlefelds will come to our
memory, not to revive the sadness of
the past, but to make us proud we are
their countrymen and all American
citizens. We have in the constellation
of great names such men as Macon
and Manly and Morehead and CASTOR
and Badger and Swain
These are freedoms now and fame's
Some of the few the immortal ames
That were not born to die"
but the name of Zebulon B. Vance
will be carved higher than them all,
o the dusty roll which ages keep
In the name of the people of the
great West, the land of future hope
and promise, 1 now second the nomin,
alton of Hon. 2. B. Vance.
