ance:
WHEREAS, The public roads of our

condition and in some counties a
standing menace to our civilization,
and believing that nothing save educa-
tion will add more to our material
progress and prosperity than well kept
and equipped public thoroughfares;

ResoZved, By the Orange County
Alliance, that we most respectfully
recommend to our next General AS.
sembly the enactment of such law as
will make it incumbent upon the State
to lay out, and keep up in first class
order, at the expense of the State, two
public highways In each county of the
State intersecsing at the respective
county seats of the several counties;
said highways to oe built by convict
labor, thereby doing work OF incal,
culabl6 benefit to the agricultural
classes as we'll as oilers, and also re,
moving, as far as it can possibly be
done, convict labor from competition
with fr. labor.
Resotved, That our Representatives,
in the Senate and House of the next
General Assembly are hereby re
quested to use every effort to secure
the passage of such law as above in

Mr. EDlToR:-An increased volume
of currency is badly needed in order

possible moment. It seems to me that
it is rather a disgrace to our National
legislators that this has not been done;
we hope, however, that they will re
trieve their character Immediately in
this particular. 1t is known that our
monopoistic National banking system
is a failure, so far as providing an
elastic currency. 1t is known tha; we
have a money panic once g year, some
times more intense than others. Now
what is the remedy ?
First, the free and unlimited coin
age of silver; and next, less taxation,
fewer subsidies, fewer partisan appro
priations, and absolute economy in
the conduct of the General Govern
mens; and last, but not least, down
with all class legislation, both National
and State. What next 1t seems to
me the legislature of North Carolina
should pass an act to issue $4,000, 900
worth of State bonds to be placed in

demand of our National Alliance; and
whereas, the late meeting of our Ma
Gional Alliance, assembled in the city
of Ocals, again recommended the pas
sage of the same bill or something
better; therefore
Reso1ved, By this meeting of the
Harnett County Farmers Alliance,
that ne urge our Senator and Repre-
sentative in the Legislature now as
sembled, to see to it that whosoever is
elected to represent us in the Senate

of the Farmers Alliance that will not
conflict with their oath or the Consti,

ONE of the lawyers who have
spoken upon the railroad commission
before the committee expressed the
opinion that all the railroads in the
s ate should be put upon the same foot,
ing of advantage, which single road
now enjoys, by reason of its charter
This seems to US to be strange reason
ing. One road has been able, by hook
or by crook, to secure a charter from
the Safe which is unfair and oppres
sive to the people; therefore every
other road should have a charter from
the State viii n would be unfair and
oppressive to the people. We are
unable to appreciate the logical pro-
cesses by which tais startling con.
clusion is reached. We want to say
again, as we have said before, that we
are not in favor of expressing the
railroads just because we are not in
favor of allowing the railroads to op
press the people. We believe in be
ing fair in our dealings with this ques
tion, to every class of interests in
VOWED. This is our position upon
this and upon all other public questions
which are up for settlement at the
present time. 4 1 q, II
We understand that the sending
back of Senator Williams interest bill
to the committee on Judiciary was in.
tended to kill it. We hope our infor-
nation is incorrect. We hope the
legislature may see it's way clear to
either pass the bill or vote it down.
We have been, and we are, and we
expect to be, in favor of reducing the
rate of interest. But we have little
concern about the matter, because we
know the people have power to settle
this matter; and we can wait two
years longer for the educating effects
of Alliance agitation upon this subject.
This legislature illustrates the fact
that, upon some subjects, it is difficult
to run a wheel within a wheel In
other words, it is hard to secure per,
feet harmony upon some questions
between the Alliance and the party in
power in North Carolina. We think
this is to be regretted, for many rea-
sons; and we would avoid it if we
could. But we want it to be distinctly
understood that we, as Alliancemen,
do not intend to handicap our demands
upon the United States Treasury for
money at a low rate of interest,
by continuing the high rate which we
think our State now wrongfully a..
lows. If our demand for money from
the National Government at low
rate of interest is just and right, then
our demand for low rate of interest
from our State Government is also
just and right. There is no escape
from this logic. The two demands
stand, or fall together. We want this
to be distinctly understood. If our
friends in the legislature cannot give
US the relief we ask, we shall know
how to get it from some other legisla
ture.
