man turns his back on the traditions
of the past, and the hatreds and preju-
dices of his own education, and extends
the hand of fraternal greeting to the
laboring world. The Labor Congress
which he called at Berlin marks a new
era in the history Of the Social move
ment of the century, 1t was the first
step toward the peaceable 1econcllla-
ton of the conflicting forces Of the
governing powers and the power OF
the masses. He called that Congress
against the advice Of his associates. He
called it in the face of the fierCeSt and
bitterest opposition from the other
crowned heads of Europe. But he
called it. He has a head of his own.
What imme: Sc possibilities open be
fore such a mani May God give him
wisdom and special guidance. We
cannot help feeling sometimes that a
special Providence has brought this
remarkable young man into the king
dom for such a time as this. Why
any people of high culture and capacity
should have a king at all, is a mystery
to my mind unfathomable. Unless all
signs fail, his young Emperor recog-
nizes the fact that he cannot rule Ger
many as his grandfather did. If he
learns this lesson well, and meets the
needs of his people by aggressive re
forms, he may postpone the day Of the
democracy, but its ultimate triumph
no hand a stay. But we cannot help
feeling that after all, if men will have
a king, then give us such a king, fear
less, aggressive, wide awake, with
sympathies broad as the race, who
thinks for himself and dares to do what
he believes to be right,

ALLIANCE PICNIC.
REELsBORO, n. c.. July II, 81

REELsBORO, n. c., July II, 81.
Mr.. EDITOR:-To-day Prospect Ali
ance, No. 1,O78, had a picnic and
grand rallying around Il Alliance
principles. Bro. w. A. Caravan, eX-
County Lecturer, was with us and
RECALLED us and the public with ALI
ance doctrine from the Taxas cattle
ranch to 1892. For an hour he admOn-
ished Us to lay aside all old political
prejudices on both sides and take our
stand firmly with the suffering masses
against the plutocratic classes.
He was followed by Bro. J. F. Brin-
son, our Representative and County
Lecturer, who gathered up all the
latent forces of Prospect Alliance and
quite a number of visiting brethren
and put them in the caIdron and tried
them by fire and stirred them to a
white heat until every Alliance heart
stood aglOw with the fire of true
patriotism that never will be extin-
guished. He said that anti Alliance
men never dared take up the gauntlet
thrown down by Sub-Treasury
bill; that they do not attempt to give
any logical reason why the bill should
not become a law, and he regretted
that Alliance speakers do not expOund
the bill frequently in all our
Alliances. That it would stand the
light Of reason and for two long a
no great sOlOn, even of national repu-
tation, had ever dared raise his head
above the common level and offer us
anything better or even half as good,
backed by national argument, that he
favored the plan and also the bill till
something better is produced, and
every true Allianceman ought to do
the same.
After q picnic dinner with all it's
pleasantries, some fine music by New
Hope and Grantsboro choirs, we met
in regular order of business, at the
close of which visiting brethren favored
us with Alliance doctrine of the
strongest character.
Bro. B. f. McCotter, Of Triumph,
said we had two things to be specially
proud of, viz: Col. L. L. Polk, our
National President, and Hon. J. F.
Brinson, our Pamlico Alliance leader,
Bro. J. w. Dawson made some very
good suggestions and we are all much
stronger in the faith. We think much
good is accomplished this day, and it
will be long remembered.

we have received from the South.

my people, and has been most heartily

has burst forth from many a sad heart.
My people have been for the past two
years and are still in the depths of
poverty. Over 1900 members of the
Alliance alone have not had, for
months, a pound of flour or grain to
make it from; no potatoes Oh other
vegetables, no meats, no money to buy
with except as they have been aided
by outside benevOlence. What they
have endured for the past two years,
and what they will have to endure
until another harvest is gathered, God
alone knows. AS you know, generally
each member of our Alliance represents
a whole family. And each family in
this State will average at least five
persons. So that there are fully 5000
persons directly and indirectly con
nected with our Alliance who I in
this destitute condition. | send you a
copy of our Dakota Rurdli8t, which
contains a full statement by me of our
relief work. If you publish it please
send me a copy of your paper contain
ing it. The season has not quite sutti-
GENTLY advanced to enable one to safe
Iy predict what will be the outcome of
our present crop. In the greater pOr-
ton of the State generous rains have
obtained. But in the section surround
ing this city for several miles the pros
pect of a crop of wheat, oats and flax
is exceedingly d~isc0uraging; and III the
section of country surrounding KIM
ball, Brule county, (my hOme,) for 40
or so miles square the wheat, oats and
fax will be almost, if not wholly, a
total failure. 1t has been and was up
to last Friday exceedingly dry. Wheat,
etc, was only about six inches high
and heading out. Corn had been fear
fully destroyed by the cutw0rms, and
nearly all had to be replanted. And
corn planted in the middle of June in
this State cannot possibly make any
other than Il little fodder for stock.
Yours very kindly,

BRYsON CITY, July II, 81.

bRNSON CITH, july II, u.
Mr.. EDITOR i spoke to a very at
Gentive crowd at Hendersonville on the
9TH of July, Next 1 went to Mill
Springs, in Polk county, where I adj
dressed a small audience on the 8th.
In the afternoon I was conveyed by
DR. Shankle, a very clever and intelli-
gent gentleman, to the hOmeof brother
VIM. G. Miller where Ispent the night
very pleasantly with this Alliance
family. Sister Miller is Secretary of
Central Alliance, and a very intelligent
lady indeed. On the morning of the
9th brother Miller took me in his buggy
and carried me to Forest City where |
met the largest and most enthusiastic
gathering l have ever met. The ladies
showed that they knew how to prepare
a picnic dinner which was on hand
and in abundance. l then took the
train for Marshall, the county seat of
Madison county, where | met the
County Alliance, which was a very in
teresting meeting and showed that the
order is not dead yet in that good
country. I then came to AsheviIle
and spoke on the 18th, but owing to
the fact that the county meeting had
met the day previous and the very
busy season we did not have a very
large crowd, but a good one. I spoke
to a small crowd at Clyde, in Haywood
county, on the 18th and here at Bryson
City today, We had a very interest
ing meeting, which closes my appoint
ments till the 3Oth and 31st of this
month at Murphy and Hayesville. Col.
Long, the State Lecturer, promises to
be with me. Upon the whole the
prospect for a grand rally of the ALI
ance is indeed fattering in the old 9th
district.

THE WAY TO SECURE OUR
RIGHTS.

MICHAEL, n. G..
Mr.. EDITOR:-Perhaps there has
never been a period in the worlds his
tory when there were 50 many people
anxiously looking for relief and for
some way to secure the rights due the
Iaboring millions, East, West, North
and South. And in my judgment the
ways and means by which we may get
out of our troubles and secure u
rights are at hand, provided we, the
suffering people, will lay hold and use
them. But to accomplish the grand
aims and purposes of the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union, we must
know no North, South, East or West.
but have an eye-single to the good of
our entire country. SectiOnalism must
be buried so deep as nerer to hare q
resurrection. The interests of the labor
ing masses are in the main the same
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and
from the Gulf to the Lakes. Therefore
we should let nothing divide or sepa-
rate is. And when any man or set of
men try to stir up strife or sectional
bitterness among us, you may put him
or them down as enemies who only
have selfish ends and purposes in view
and not the good Of our common cOun-
try. Old politicians, the tools of Wall
street, railroad rings, mOnOpOlies and
trusts, have tried and will try to divide
us, But, brethren, East, West, North
and South, let me say we have no more
business listening to them than Eve
had listening to their rather, the devil;
and as sure as Ewes listening to the
devil proved her ruin and brought IN
told misery on her ~posterity, so will it
be with us and our ~pOsterity, provided
we listen to these servants of the devil.
And as Satan well knows, he must first
divide the church of the living God be
fore he can do it any material harm;
SO his servants we'll know they can
eve do the Alliance any harm unless
they first divide us. So, my dear
brethren in the Alliance and Industrial
Union everywhere, let us stand to-
gether. Our motto is good and right
in the sight of God, and all good men
who understand our principles, i. e.
Equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none" Believing, then, that
it is plain to all that we must stand
united, shoulder to shoulder every
where, o let us inquire where must

1T WILL LIVE FOREVER.

The Alliance has spent its force as
a factor in our politics." said Dave
Little, land will soon be laid in its lit
tie grave
This to a Washington reporter, and
50 important was the item Of news re
garded that it was sent as a special,
and through the associated press dis
patches to every daily paper in the
United States.
Have our readers ever heard Of Dave
Little, the political Ajax, whose slight
est whisper on Alliance topics is printed
in every paper in America!
Surely every man, woman and child,
on earth ought to know 50 wonderful
a man.
To begin with Dave is worth a cool
million at least.
OF course the opinion of a million
dollars on any subject, especially on
the Alliance question, cannot help be
ing very valuable.
Then Dave is a lawyer, the "greatest
corporation lawyer in the State" as he
c~onfidentially told Sam Ridgely in
1885.
The opinion of a great corporation
lawyer ought to be treated with great
respe;t-and it was by the Washing
ton quidnuncs.
Besides this he is a red-hot Republi-
can tax-eater, which, Of course, adds
greatly to his knowledge Of the status
of the Alliance.
His browning advantage is that he
lives in Springfield, Illinois, and is a
sort Of a head Hatchet-Man for the
close corporation of political bunco-
s~teerers which has infested that city
ever since the late war.
Evidently the Judgment of such a
man on the internal history of the
Alliance ought to be listened to with
awe.
The KanSan has run down this Dave
Littler for the purpose Of pointing a
moral.
Not a day passes but the great dailies
inhict some masterful opinion of some
masterfui man hat the Alliance has
spent it's force as a factor in our poll
tics"
The little crossroads papers echo the
awful Judgment with the complacency
Of an old topper who has lit unexpect-
eddy on another swig.
The newspapers East, West, North
and South, TEEN with the Obiter dicta
of such men as Dave Littler, and it
Will not do to say they have no inf1u-
ence.
They certainly have not within the
Order, but it is not safe to say they
have not outside.
The Republican papers are run on
the principle that a lie stuck to is as
good as the truth, and if they can only
keep the air mellow with the howlings
of Dave Little, of Illinois, Rhet Clark
son, of Iowa, Joe Hudson, of Kansas,
Wild-man Woods Foraker, of
Ohio, and others of the same kidney,
that the Alliance is going to pieces,
they hope thereby to at least arrest it's
ever onward stride.
No matter who it is that is quoted
for authority that the Alliance is even
weakening, he will be found on analysis
to be a professional politician, perhaps
a millionaire, probably a pot-house
heeler of n Of the old parties.
The men who like Dave Little deliver
these excathedra judgments on the
Alliance, not only know nothing on
the subject, but the position they
occupy makes it utterly impossible for
them to know.
They have not the remotest concep-
