ter. [ plainly see that the Alliance
don't take worth a cent with him. He
says he has heard as much dOleful
music out of the Alliance as he wants
to, and that if the farmers ends do not
meet at the end of the year, it is on &C
count of his own laziness. He also says
that they r mailing away on com
bInes, and at the same time trying to
form combines among themselves.
Now we wish to inform Mr.. Tuthin
that the music of the Alliance is still
going to be played whether he wants
to hear 1t or not, and the farmer will
eventually mall the sap out of com
bines, and whether he likes that or not
we don't care. The hard-fsted sons of
toll do not wish to form combines to
Cypress honest toll; they only wish to
be elevated to a higher plane of life
and be placed on equal footing with
their Oppressors; they do not wish to
repay the compliment. All we ask is
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none. This is right, it is fair,
and Mr.. Tuthm cannot dispute it, for
God never made the farmer to bear
the oppression that is now upon him,
for he says he is no respector of per-
sons. More than this, we believe that
ne IS coming 10 our f0lleL, TOT as ne
heard the cries of the Israelites while
serving the Egyptians under the tyran-
nical yoke of Paraoh, we believe that
he has looked down from the courts
of Heaven and says that we may be a
free people. And as to the farmers
ends being so far apart, Mr.. Tuthill has
spoken falsely or else he has not sense
enough to know any better, one or the
other. He says he gets along fine, and
has been driving for 80 years, and
expects to continue to drive and whistle
as he drives. Now if he wants to
drive and whistle that is his business
and let him attend to it and the farm
ers will try to attend to theirs, and
the quicker the better, for if this move
ment had been placed on foot twenty
years ago it would have been that
mnch better for us. Hoping that you
will print this and that MI. Tuthil will
get a copy of your paper and see it, I
will say no mor about him. All we
want is to stop mOnOpolistic robbery
with other intrusions. This and this
alone will satisfy the farmer.
Yours fraternally,
r. A. BROWN, President.

WHEREAS, God, in his infinite wis
dom. has seen fit to remove from us
our beloved brother, James +. Brady,
who was accidentally shot and killed
ON the 29th of December, 1890, while
in the prime of life and the vigor Of
health: and whereas, our deceased
brother has left a large and helpless
and dependent family without a sufh-
cient means of support; and whereas,
the little property left them is badly
encountered with mortgage, which his
delicate widow can raise by her
own exertions; and whereas, we think
it our duty to observe that clause of
our Declaration of Principles" which
urges us to care for the widow and
educate the orphan =" 1t is therefore
RESOLVED, That we request each of
our members to contribute to our be-
reaved sister Brady something to help
relieve her of her financial burden.
RESOLVED, That this Alliance gives
her ten dollars out of our treasury.
RESOLVED, That we recommend her to
the favorable consideration of all char
liable persons, especially members of
our order.
ResoIUed, That a copy of these reso-
buttons be sent to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER with a request to publish, ask
ing each Sub-Alliance in the State to
give our sister something to help her
In this dark hour of deep sorrow and
sore bereavement, believing that a
mercifuI God will be a swift rewarder
of those who contribute to the comfort
of the unfortunate ones whom He has
bereft.

weIl.-Committee.
I would like to say to the brethren
and sisters who read this appeal for
aid, that the subject, Mrs. Mary Brady,
is an excellent lady and worthy of our
assistance. We have raised over 1873
seventy-fve dollars for her, but this is
not nearly sufficient to relieve her Of
the burden of debt and mortgage.
Brethren, remember that whoever
giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord"
Even a very little will be gratefully
appreciated. Send contributions to

Mr.. EDITOR:| notice in your paper
a communication from one Walker, in
opposition to the bill that was before
the legislature, prohibiting the sale of
liquors only in the incorporated towns.
I say God hasten the day that it shall
not even be sold there. He says it is
robbing the poor man Of the chance to
sell it and make money, and giving it
all to the rich town man (class legisla-
tion.) God save the mark. I would
like to know how many poor men he
ever knew to make money and get rich
selling the accursed stuff. I can recOl-
lect back, where [ was raised, the peO-
pie that have sold liquor in that town,
and know of no man that has ever
sold the stuff but what has either lost
more than he ever made, OF God has
sent a judgment on him by giving him
drunken sons or sons in law to
squander what they had laid up, and
at last to fill a drunkard's grave and
their souls go to a drunkard's hell.
How a man can read his Bible and ad-
vocate the sale Of it in any way I can't
see. Many that I have known to sell
it, in fact all with three or four excep-
tions, have gone to the dogs while liv-
ing.
We thank Bro. Williams, of Pitt.
for his manly fight on the interest bill.
While here I wish to say that the
Apostle Paul, that great and inspired
mar of God, in writing to the COrin-
THAN church, says In the V. VI. VII.
chapters of the first book that cOvetous
people and e~xtortioners will go to the
same hell that the drunkard goes to-.
How will they manage to spend eter-
nifty in company with them when they
think it is a disgrace to even speak to
OF notice a drunkard here in this life ?
Please let me know, through the
columns of your most excellent paper,
what you think uSury is, also extOr-
tioning. If | am not misled in the
matter I fear that there are many of
the leading men in all the churches
that are exacting more than the lawful
interest. What is that but usury ?
And many of them are charging as
much as two to three hundred per
cent on groceries for a little time. l
have known men to go to the merchant
In August and pay three dollars for a
sack of flour that he could buy for two
in cash, and would pay for it in Sep
tember. What do you call that but
eXtortion And then go to church on
Sunday and you will nearly always
find that merchant in the amen corner.
God pity such religion as that, and
cause the professed Christians to stop
and think how many people there are
that read the Word of God and say
to themselves, that mans religion Is
vain. Hoping that we all may read
and ponder over these things and de
eide to do unto others as we would
have them to do unto us, is my sincere
desire. H.
