A CHANCE FOx BOYS.
The "Gaxette" Tells Them How 60
Get wealthy.

II is a dull boy who now lives in
Nevada if he dies poor or ignorant.
With the present means of obtaining
accurate knowledge and cheap books,
ten minutes day properly spent will
make him comfortable in his old age.
The changes Of 80 years in a new
country are simply wonderful, and
yet not one person in fifty can
seem to anticipate them. Within a
generation land in all the country
west OF the Allegheny Mountains has
gone from the Government price to
its present figures. Now it ranges
from few dollars in the bad spots up
10 millions an acre where cities have
grown up. When this process first be-
gan the settlers saw nothing of this.
Once in while a man would be heard
to prophesy rise in values, but even
he would not act upon his belief.
Occasionally stock man or a creditor
would be forced to hold and he would
get the benefits OF all the growth
around him.
With the resources OF a region like
that around us lying all undevelop-
ed, TO be picked up for a song, any boy
can lay the foundation of a fortune
with a few months saving.-Reno
Gazette.
The above ought to be read by
every boy in the State and carefully
considered. Just now very few peo-
pie consider what il will cost to get
Nevada land ten years from now.
Ii can be picked up for song, now,
but after the big irrigation improve
ments that will take place in a few
years, good land in Nevada will be
as scarce as hens teeth, and the boy
who puts few dollars year into
holding land will suddenly find him
self rich.
Experiments are being made in
rain making, which, il successful, will
make every acre Of land worth 800 in
his State.
The climate is changing, and more
rain falls here every year.
Boys, instead OF spending money for
whisky and cigars, put ii in sagebrush
land, and when you grow up you will
have stake in the world.-Appeal.

A CORRECTION.

The Chronicle was misinformed when
it made the statement that when Mr..
Ben. Terrell, an Alliance Lecturer,
spoke at Statesville, Hon. w. M. Rob
bins divided time with him; that they
discussed the Sub-Treasury, and after
they had finished, Hon. A. Leazar was
called upon and spoke against the Sub
Treasury. The only truth in the re-
port was that while Mr.. Terrell was
speaking, Mat. Robbins did ask him a
question about the Sub b-Treasury plan.
And that is all there was about it. Mr..
Leazar was not called upon, and did
not say word. We regret that our
informant caused us to make SO great
an error.
We are thankful to the. Chronicle for
the above correction, as we had learned
there was no truth In what was pub
lished in regard to this matter, several
days ago. We have waited patiently
to see if this would be made. Wehope
every paper that has published this,
will correct. Brethren of the press,
would it not be better for us to be sure
that what we say is truei

The Wilmington Messenger, in it's
issue of April 26th, says: The New
Orleans Cotton Exchange puts the
crop of last year at 8,028, 783 bales )"
This does not agree with the publica
tion in many of our exchanges who are
continually publishing statements that
the croprunsfrom s, 500, 900 to9, 900, 900,
and intimating that the farmer has
acted very unwisely who has held his
crop till now. They also seem to know
that it will go much lower Perhaps
this may be true. But the farmer
knows this much about the cotton
crop. He knows that for the past
twenty years the speculator has been
buying his cotton in the fall and winter
at very low price, and he knows also
that after the crop has gone out of his
locks that the price goes up, and that
he, the farmer, has lost the profits and
the speculator has pocketed it. The
farmer knows also that in 1889 cotton
went down in the fall to and 81 cents,
when he was compelled to sell, but
that in the spring of 1890 it went
up to IL and 12b cents, thereby causing
a nt t loss to him of from SIG to $50 per
bale, and a net gain for the speculator
of that much He knows also that the
crop sold was a loss to the farmers of the
South of not less than $50, ,OOO, 900, and
that they have been fleeced annually
of from so, 600, 600 to $fOO, 600, 900. If
those papers that insist on publishing
the crop statistics of the South would
not exaggerate them, they might some
times have an excuse for saying they
were friends to the farmer.

Mr.. EDITOR reading over your
valuable paper I am rather amused at
the position some of your correspon-
dents assume. One brother is fearful
the Alliance is leaning too much to
democracy, another that it is favorable
to the Republican party, while others
take view of complaining, etc.
If these brethren and others would
take the care and examine the objects
and principles of the Alliance, they
will find it has but little to do with the
Democratic or Republican party as
parties. We have the right to vote
and act with either of the parties
where our claims are made stronger,
thereby aiding In our demands, such
as more currency and other protection
for our betterment If these parties
will fall in line and assist in giving us
relief, we should certainly feel kind to-
ward them and regard them as our
friends. If parties and organizations
will practice less party spirit and Bit
terness, and look well to the interest
of the whole people, the country would
soon be in better condition Instead
of party success for the time, let there
be a greater effort for the good of the
whole country.
IF our aims can be brought about by

CAPITALISM is grasping and absorbing
the homes and lands of free Americans.
To see the workings of the system, just
look over any part of this country and
you will see hundreds of ruined homes
and hear walls of distress on every
side from myriads digging the ground
and swinging hammer or needle in the
sweat Of agony to secure scant rations
OF daily bread; while plutocracy is
piling up untold millions in the vaults
OF the few under the injustice and
wrong of cruel and inhuman system.

Forsyth County Alliance met at
Pleasant Ridge, April 18th, and was
in session two days. On roll call It
was found that quorum was present.
Difficulties of private and public ma
tUre came before the Alliance and
were satisfactorily settled. A .shorse
company" was organized in the AIli-
ance for the capturing and furnishing
of horse thieves.
A ladies' department was recon-
mended and a committee appointed to
further that enterprise. Steps were
taken to start an Alliance newspaper,
to be the organ of Forsyth County
Farmers Alliance.
RESOLVED, By the Forsyth County
Farmers Alliance, that they viii sup
port no paper that viii not permit
hearing of both sides. The Alliance en-
dorsed and recommended to the Sub
Alliances and its members the Plant
ers' Alliance Warehouse In Winston.

By a motion a vote OF thanks was
given to the good people Of Pleasant
Ridge and vicinity for the kind and
hospitable manner the members were
entertained.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
July 10th and 11th, at New Philadel-
phia Church, about six miles west Of

others and placed on solid basis we
are satisfied.
10 my mind we have no greater de-
mand than the currency. 1t is appar-
ent to all living away from the cities
and other centres that the volume of
currency does not meet the positive
demand for transaction of business and
for the building up of the interior
producing far more injury than can be
observed in moments Thoughts The
fact of our population increasing with
our present American ideas of prog
ress, our outlay is of necessity made
greater. This being true we REQUIRE
more ecurrency than was out, per capita,
fifteen years ago. It is hoped our
rulers, If not preparing to do SO, will
shortly remedy this very serious draw
back to the farming and laboring
classes. If the parties now in power
refuse to grant this rather important
favor, the Alliance must take care of
itself at the ballot-box.
What would Wall street and MANY
OF the large business houses in the
cities, including the banks and large
manufacturers, say if the administra-.
ton for these many years had been
shaping the acts of Congress against
their interest, so much so as to greatly
reduce the value of their real estate
forcing their business down to no profit
but IN many cases below cost and into
bankruptcy? While such a condition
has not befallen these institutions. vet
1t is sad to realize that such has over
taken the agricultural and other classes
am happy to believe that large ma
jority of the great body of the Alliance
and Laborers' Union are not hostile to
these individuals who have made for
tunes and are now reaping good profits
IN their business. We would not de-
duct dollar from their vaults of easy-
made money. We only desire that
legislation be made giving us fair
chances with them, without curtailine
their business with ours improved. IA
large portion of our American people
are becoming convinced that this great
nation can take care of all occupations.
especially the farmer and Iaborer. who
have, from the beginning of our coun-
try, played no small part, having born
the burden and heat of the day, willing
still to do so with the assistance the
government can give.
Take anumber of whole States. away
from these cities and money centres
and you will find that no mathemati-
clan can near approach the loss sus-
tanned by the people for the want of
more currency. Upon the other hand
no scholar can figure the vast fortunes
and profits made in these favored sec
tions of small acreage, during this
period.
If this demand of the Alliance is not
needed, with each of the other demands
put in power, our condition will be but
little better than at present. I regard
the increase of the currency the vital
issue far in advance of many of the de-
mands made at St. Louis. We should
not be too eager for all our demands
to be granted in haste. Let us make
a combined effort to bring about the
most important ones, remembering
that no party or organization can get
all Of the minor objects. Let US appre
ciate Democrats or Republicans who
will aid us in giving relief and pros

and Germany were to establish a single
silver basis, and restricted. and linn
tied gold coinage, according to silver
free coinage, silver would at once as
sumo single value, and an ounce of
silver would be worth to the silver
smith or jeweler just what it would be
worth coined into money, less the ex-
pense of coinage, while gold would de
preciate In value, just as silver has
since 1873.
Sixth-Even under a bimetallic sys-
tenn or double basis, Silver and gold
being both accorded free coinag), the
amount of both metals falls so far
short of being sufficient to furnish
enough money with which to do bust
ness upon cash basis, that the same
condition would result. Give us free
coinage of silver, and every ounce of
silver will at once assume its money
value, and be worth as much to manu-
facture spoons and watch cases out of
as to coin into money. The commodity
value would be merged into the money
value, as is now the case with gold.
Butthere is another argumenta against
the position assumed by your CORES
pondent, which to my mind is an
ansaCerable. Friends and advocates of
the present treatment accorded to sill
yer, Republicans and Democrats alike,
claim that by virtue Of the coinage of
silver obtained under the present law,
the circulation of currency is steadily
and surely becoming inflated, and that
as a consequence the price of land,
labor and commodities are gradually
on the rise. Now, a part cannot be
greater than the whole; hence, if >issu-
ing paper certificates upon part of the
surplus silver of the nation has inflated
the currency, and is about to appreci-
ate prices, what may we not expect if
the whole of the nations silver is
coined into money? The true basis of
money is quantitive, not intrinsic. As
the value of money increases the value
of each unit decreases. That is to say,
an increase of the volume of money in
creases or raises the price of land,
labor and all products of labor. The
silver miners, under free coinage of
silver, would not get money for silver,
but their silver would be coined into
money. Every ounce of silver thus
coined would increase the volume of
money and correspondingly increase
prices. Prices of land, labor and com
modities would go up. e. the price of
dollars Mnits of value) would go down.
Result The silver miners could buy
no more land, labor CT commodities
with their coined silver dollars than
they could have bought with their sill
yer bullion. The only silver miners
benefited would be those who are in
debt, and with them would be benefited
the .tuhoIe debtor class of the United
States. GEO. @. WARD.

people believe that the Treasury

We believe we can safely say, that 95
per cent of the Alliance members in

is this: the more they are warred
