CHATHAM COUNTY ALLIANCE

Mr.. EDITOR:-The last meeting Of the
Chatham County Farmers Alliance
was one of unusual interest. The breth-
rem are alive to our needs and our
danger.
The reports from the Sub Alliances
| we're of the most encouraging nature,
showing that the Alliance in Chatham
WAS never in a better condition than it
is now.
Arrangements were made at our last
meeting for Bro. w. f. Stroud, County
Lecturer, tO visit each township and
address the people. He has done his
work, and done it we'll, and it is telling
for good.
1t was decided to hold two days at
our next quarterly meeting.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. were unanj-
monsly adopted:
WHEREAS, Different partisan papers
of the country have attempted to de-
fame, misrepresent and Islander the
name of President L. L. Polk and our
other National leaders, and as we are
lead to believe that it is intended as a
deadly blow to our Order and an open
insult to every member of the Alliance
and Industrial Union of America.
ReSOIUed, That we condemn in the
strongest language the course of all
such papers, and brand such q course
as unpatriotic and ~dishonOrable, and
intended to defeat the honest purposes
of our Order.
ResOIUed, That we believe President
Polk and his cOlabOrers to be patriotic
Christian gentlemen, and the superiOrs
of any who have INDUCED in any such
abuse.
Re8olUed, That we hereby renew our
allegiance to demands as set forth
in the Ocala platform, and heartily en-
dOrse the action of the last State ALI
ance in regard to said demands.
Resolved, That as the newspapers of
the country are largely the educators
of the people, we recommend that they
adopt as their motto one of the funda-
mental principles of the Alliance-''the
truth"
ResOlUed. That a copy of these reso-
buttons be sent to the Chatham Record
and THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER for pub
LEGATION. All papers friendly to our
Order please copy.

protection to the people against trusts
or monopolies, which owe their exls-
tence to the scarcity of available funds
on the part of producers and consumers
by enabling them to organize cO-Opera-
tive associations for manufacturing or
exporting their farm products and thus
fight trust with trust with this differ
ent end in view. Private trusts ignor-
ing the laws of supply and demand are
operated by a few individuals solely to
enrich themselves. Cooperative asso-
Citations shonld exist for the purpose of
making an equitable distribution of
benefits between the producer, con
sumner and manufacturer.
Counting for it the fullest discussion,
the writer mOdestly submits his plan
to stand or fall upon its merits.

RESOLUTIONS BY BERTHE co.
ALLIANCE.

WHEREAS, The Ne1cS and Observer
has for some time been trying to break
the unity and bring division in the Al
lance by abusing and misrepresenting
the leaders and the demands OF the
Order. Whereas, we believe that our
National President, L. L. Polk, has
been slandered by the above-named
paper simply because he is the Presi
dent Of our Order and for no other
reason; therefore be it
Res0lUed, That we denounce the
Nelrs and Observer for it's malicious
abuses of the Alliance and it's leaders.

LETTER rom CUMBERLAND.


FAYETTEVILLE, n. |.
Mr.. EDITOR:-I see so much from the
Annanias Club that | am like BilkinS-

Alliance are the majority of the Demo
cratic party; that we are fighting for
the Democratic principles. They &C
knowledge that the greatest good to
the greatest number, " equal rights to
all, and special privileges to none" are
Democratic principls.
Now is it not a foul bird that be-
are doing it, by sending out broadcast
our Order and Our noble leaders.
1t seems as if they have picked out,
as an object for their shafts of venom,
that grand old Roman, L. L. Polk, who
has done more to put down the bloody
shirt in the West and gain from the
people in Kansas alone, 100, 600 votes,
who has done more to Obliterate from
the minds of the South the nam of
carpet Dagger, who has done more to
unite six million votes from the North,
South, East and West to shake hands
across the bloody chasm in his short
administration as President of our
noble Order, than all the Annanias
Club, partisan press, demagOgue par
tisan leaders have for the last thirty
years. Is it because they see we are
educating ourselves, and not relying
on the old broken down political lead
ers, as of old, for that education? Is
it because they see we are watching
the men who sign Our demands and
then vote against them? Is it because
we are watching those who pledge
themselves and then say they have
vomited up all but their seat IN the
Senate? Is it because that education
has taught us not to vote for a pet that
has the name of Democrat pinned to
his cOat-tail, with none of those prin-
ciples in lis heart? Is it because the
old agricultural hen that has been lay
ing the golden egg to build up the cod
fish a~ristocracy and p~lutOcracy of this
country has resolved to lay it in her
own nest? Is it because they have
bolted several conventions and cannot

Senator Norwood closed his argu-
mentative address in the midst Of APP
plause, and our people felt that it was
| good for us to be there. His address
was listened to attentlvely throughout
and was received favOrably. We wei
come him among us and hope the day
will soon come when he will return to

The Alliance feels that it has a strong
friend in Judge Norwood,
The Alliance appreciates the en-
~cOuraging aid from our friends outside
the Order, and we have all along in
sisted that we wanted and intended to
have the Sub Treasury or something
better.
Senator Norwood. as your readers
know, has been one of the few prOmi-
nent men who have espOused the Sub
Treasury cause, and lie has proven
most emphaticaIly that it Is a cOnsti-
tutiOnal and practiC tble scheme. But
in the interest of peace and harmony
he has tried to find the something
better, - and as such he brings forward
the plan, synopsis of which l have

His cause is patriotic and towers

as statesmen, but who are content to
sit by the way side and cry "unc )nstl-

LETTER FROM STOKRS.

DILLARD, N. c.
Mr.. EDITOR:-I take my pen in hand
to let the brethren of the Alliance hear
from old Stokes again. We are NOV.
ing slowly along not making much
fuss, but we endorse the Ocala de-
mands and are in touch with the plain
people of Jul good old State III irving
to keep u heads above water and
make "buCkle and tongue meet" until
Congress meets and affords some relief
by much needed legislation. All we
ask Is equal rights to all and special
privileges to none" Who viii com
plain at that?
One year ago the Democratic con
ventiOn endorsed Our principles. Sen
atOr Vance and others said these we're
mainly the reforms they had been
fighting for in Congress and out for
% years past, Now what has got the
matter with some of our Democratic
(Or [ might say demO-repubhctn) pa
perS? What has Polk done that they
pursue him so fiercely, dig up his war
record, and try so hard TO Injure him
both North and South. We thought
they wanted sectional adlmosites al
layed in order that our Southern
statesmen might be allowed to take
their proper places in the councils of
our nation.
l don't think Col. Polk needs any
vindicatiOn-these attacks vindicate
him. When he started The PRoGRES,
SIVE FARMER at Winston several years
ago to defend the cause of the poor
struggling farmer, why didn't they
tell the people then that he was a fail
ure, except to breed strife and discord.
His able articles were then as vii as
now quoted by papers of both parties
in the State and out, and f~avorably
commented IN.

town to handle our produce and then
every member of the Alliance IS a
stakeholder in the exchange and not
allow any n to own but one share
and then no one man would own con
trolling power and then every one hun
dred dollars have a director and his
duties would be to examine the books
and see how the business is going ana
to have the power to change the man
ayers when they were not dong justice
to the business, and when the Cumml9

to run the business then take the money
that has accumulated and start tacto,,

out from under the money shark
