of the Woodley Hunt Club, is the promoter of
this scheme, which at once met with hearty
cooperation by the other members of the club.
A sufficient amount of money for the purchase
of the ponies and other equipments has been
promised and will be forthcoming when wanted.

to be played upon and for the accommodation
of several thousand spectators and conveniently

LETTER FROM BAYLEAF.

Mr.. EDITOR:-This scribe is not in
the habit of writing for publication,
yet we feel disposed to write you a short
communication i'll behalf of Bayleaf
Sub-Alliance Bayleaf has some brainy
members. She has upon her roll medi-
cal, clerical and magiSterial talent, be-
sides a good many clear-headed, sharp
sighted farmers. She takes a life pic
ture of her dear and noble institution.
She rather prides herself upon her ex-
acted relation to an enterprise having
for it's aim such GOd-like objects as
truth, justice, love and unity a gener-
Gus. patriotic love of country that scOrnS
the jeers and vItuperatiOnS of the plu-
tOcratS, knowing the sink of depraVity
from which it comes She seems ready
to fOregO her former political prOclivi-
ties; so it would appear that she re
CARDS Democrat, plutOcrat and auto
Crat as almost synonymous terms; but
sne would write in q bold and legible
hand high upon her ~escucheOn, Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none" Indeed she does not seem to be
travelled by party names. The great
question with her is, how shall this
government be rescued from the fangs
of greed and the low cunning of dema
SDSucSf I16I 6UiIICS are: L ear ZOO
and work right ousne3s that this wide
domain may become a paradise where
every bud may bloom into the fragrant
flowers of domestic and social life when
a grand halo of prosperous content
shall span her political heaven from
the eastern to the western horizon"
One may be ready to ask, can these
things be so? Why not? All good
men approve the means to produce
them, as natural SO in moral philOsO-
ply. Apply the means or cause and
the result will follow. Another may
say such is the intractable, refractory
and incOrrigible nature of man that he
cannot conform to principles and laws
of righteousness. The proposition,
however, contradicts both Pagan phil.
osophy and Christian ethics. The
great and wise Solomon said: When
the wicked bear rule, the people
mourn" but when the righteous bear
rule, the people rejoice. The Bible says
Righteousness exalteth a nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people. Now
that is what the trouble is about. The
wicked bear rule and people mourn.
Bayleaf wants righteous rulers that
they may rejoice like Israel when set
free from the yoke of Egyptian bond
age. Bayleaf says to her sister Sub
Ordinates, stand fast and rejoice in
hope. F~raternaIly,

ATTENTION, ALLIANCEMEN.

The attention of the brethren is
called to losses by a number of our
brethren in Franklin county by a hail
storm which destroyed their crops, an
account of which appeared in The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER of Sept. 22d. The
committee who assessed the losses of
these brethren estimate it at Sc, $50.
and they recommend and ask the
brethren for assistance to one half of
the losses. The President and Score
tary of Franklin County Farmers
Alliance have written me under seal
of the County Alliance, stating that
the facts Of the losses were true. that
the parties are members in good stand
ing and that they needed the assis-
lance of u Order. Two dollars
from each lodge in the State will be of
great help to these suffering brethren
and we hope that this amount and ali
other just calls from brethren will
receive attention. Address G.. G. Gill,

the first time he had spoken ON tbo

He spoke of the wall of sorrow ana
sadness that brOOded over this oraot
country; that the spirit of unrest and
dissatisfaction prevailing among tho
people proved hatthere was sometime
radically wrong in public affairs. an
admitted something must be done but
| nothing will ever be while the mann
facturers, the mOnOpOliStS and Other
p]lutOcratS were the benefiCiarieS Of tho
system Of legislation now fastened ON
the country. The relief must come
from the people themselves who ara
the victims of the iniquitieS. The pno-
pie had realized the condition OF tba
country and these enOrmitips had bn.
come %encrusted on the pubic nlind
and produced the organization known
as the Farmers Alliance. These oIns
tiOns are more of a national than a sec.
tiOnal character. They are beyond the

questions of an economic nature and
| neither had been able to grapple with
them with entire success. He spoke
of the terrible oppression with which
the country had been afflicted in rpla.

burdens of taxation upon the Shout
ders of others. Such a state of affairs
was never con emplated by our fore
fathers. 1t was q mOnStrOSitv that
such a condition of rapine, ruin and
robbery should exist for a moment on
the body polite. He said he hailed
with pleasure the Sub-TreaSurv Dlana as
a boon on the political horizon. That
the principle upon which it is founded
is undoubtedly right, just and proper.
The discussion of this measure has

a judiciOuS ~Sub-Treasury plan is with
in the reach of human attainment
which will prove a scheme of great re
lief to the people. He further stated
that he stood squarely on the Ocala de

of them to give the relief needed and
nothing short of it would give the re,

squarely for the Ocala demands. let

WASHINGTON COUNTY.

Think it Time for All to Do So.

Mr.. EDITOR: Washington County
Alliance at its October meeting di-
rected its committee to say through
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER to the
brethren throughout the land that it
heartily endorses the resolution passed
by our State Alliance at it's late meet,
ing making certain requirements Of the
brethren in regard to the Ocala plat
form.
We think it is time for every Ali
anceman to show his cOl0rs that it may
be known whether he can stand the
test or not. He who is not Tor us is
against us. In our Judgment he who
claims to be an Allianceman and can
not accept the Ocala platform in its en-
tirety at this late hour when nothing
has ever been presented that has the
slightest showing of an Improvement
fails to possess the true elements of an
AlllanCeman.
Our Order throughout the country
may we'll congratulate itself on having
so experienced and we'll equipped a
navigator as we find in the person OF
l.. l.. Polk, our great captain and chief,
standing at the helm of the grand old
ship on which he has embarked
thoroughly embued with the impOr-
lance of the freight. She bears the
most sacred of all life's treasures, bids
defiance to storm and tempest, and
like the Roman soldier, determines II
needs be to die at his post of duty

prove ourselves worthy Of so great a
