A GOOD PARTY MAN.

He is true to his party and has al
ways been a good party man." One
often heat this expression when any
one is spoken of for office. This is con
sidered the one thing needful-the
qualification par excellence of a great
statesman This may be all very we'll
to some extent but when made the alb
sOlute necessity it becomes the fruitful
source Of many evils. The ba5eSt and
most venal OF mankind can often pre-
sent as clean Il party record as the
wlsest and most honest By this lntOl-
Grant and prOSCrlptlve spirit, this hide
bound and medIaval custom, whatever
may be erroneous, whatever may be
corrupt, whatever may be Subversive
of the peoples will and rights will find
no reOuKe IN i good party man. The
literature OF the opposing party IS not
read, and If read, not believed. Thus
all corrupt on, malfeaSanCe, eXtraVa
gance and oppression is covered by the
party cloak and there IS no one 50 bold
as to drag 1t forth from its covering
DUTY demands of a true patriot to keep
the record Of his party clean. If he
tries 1t once, he Is dead. Hence this
lmperIOuS custom calls upon an office
seeker to surrender his manhood hood
WINK MS conscience, stultify his better
Judgment and rush blindfoIded whith
ersOever some prominent leaders NAV
dictate Thus we find the highest
political hOnOrs held out to the most
INSCRIPTIONS and stands in evidence
that the party press and machinery, if
not now, will become a seethrng caul
dron of filthy garbage. This imperious
custom, worthy of the inquisition of
the dark ages, does not stop here. 1t
violates State sovereignty and renders
null and void the voice of the people
A few years ago this State instructed
It's representatives TO repeal the inter
nal revenue laws which they could
nave done Oy an independent effort to
obey instructions. They helped to
elect a speaker opposed to their repeal,
joined mc9ucus action opposed to their
repeal and thus violated the rights of
this State and destroyed the sovereign
rights of this State and combined In
helping to centrallze the powers of this
government. Suppose our representa-
tives had Independently Obeyed lnstrur-
tiOns, they would not have been true
party men and would have laid them
selves under condemnation. Thev
dared not do it. They were afraid to
do it. For the axe was ever hanging

The spirit of improvement is abroad
all over and through this greatrepublic,
and the best equipped sons of America
are striving for the highest honOrs that
await him who is to be the foremost
teacher Of this age in the school Of
progress.
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION THE MOTIVE
POWER OF DEVELOPMENT.
And therefore from our agricultural
colleges and experiment stations we
may confidently look for greater and
more rapid improvement, development
and progress in our rural industries
than ever heretofore.
The business Of all others which feeds
and sustains all other avOcatiOns and
is the main support of this govern
ment, must go forward with the ad
vance of civilization 10 meet the in
creased and increasing numbers, wants
and comforts of a progressive people,
and it demands the ablest and most
thoroughly equipped officers in council,
field and forum to campaign, command
and mobilize its great producing
army.
Agriculture's greatest and most
pressing needs just now are leaders,
competent leaders for organization, in
the school, the press and the field. It's
soldiers are superb generals are needed
to command
Let marplOts, quacks and empirics
be sent to the rear where they belong,
if indeed it can be said that they belong
anywhere, for it is really doubtful
whether they can fill the part of a
low down private in the rear ranks "
with honor to themselves or service to
the cause. They are assuredly out of
place as leaders.
Let the command echo and re echo
down the lines, put none but tried
and true men on guard" during the
campaign. r. L. RAGLAND.

LETTER FROM THE EAST.

OKIsKO, n. c..
Mr. EDITOR:-I avail myself of this
method of saying to you that at no
period of my life have | ever seen so
much enthusiasm manifested and so
much unrest evinced by farmers and
labOrers in this section, and from the
tone of the press it is fair to conclude
that the same IS patent all over this
great country. BarbeCues. public din
ners, picnicS and gatherings of the
sturdy yPOmany Of the land seems to
be the order of the day, and men whose
lives has been that Of humble tillers OF
the soil or mechanics, are ready to
ascend the rDStrum to counsel and ad-
wise as best they can their fellow citi
zens with reference to this mighty up
rising of the peOple-a people whose
lib1 ties are threatened by the money
power. Now why, we ask, is all this?
The answer Is clear to my mind, and L
think it should be to every ObServant
lover of home and country. Scarcity
of money, poor crops and worse prices
keep thousands of poor farmers away
from our Capitol City and the Great
Southern Exposition. Now, sir, who
is it that prepares the products for
that exhibition but the farmer, me
chanic and labOrer2 We are told ex-
cursiOn rates can be had on all the
routes of public travel to the Exposi
ton. | inquired of q conductor on the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad if he
had anv instructions on his line as to
reduced rates He said he had not, at
which answer [ was not surprised.
We are looking forward with delight
to the goth day of this month for the
e TD1 ,-NllI
worthy National President, at the Abe
place Eastern Cardinals noble sons
purpose making in day long to be
remembered along the briny fringed
shores of the Old North State. God
bless her! Wall street bankers and
wholesale and retail slanderers may
lie and howl, but we as Alliancemen
will stand firmly and unbrOken by the
Ocala platform.
We trust our incoming Congressman
will look well to their laurels. A word
to the wise is sufficient, We hope each
Sub-Alliance throughout this vast
country will take the Congressional
GLOBE, that they may see who are our
enemies during the next session. Yes,
my cOuntrymen, acqult yourselves
like men. Be ye slaves no longer to
monopolistic and capitalistic influence.
Instead of a plutOcracy, let our govern
ment be as near a theocracy as men
and good women can make it; then
our country will flourish and blossom
as the rose Rise above partisan poll
tics; let your motto be country first,
party last; for as sure as night succeeds
day, so surely if we allow the great
middle or industrial classes to be wiped
out, as is now being done by the money
power, our free America will be only
thing of the past
God bless our cause and it's officers
Let moderation and conservatism be
thoroughly mixed with fraternal feel
ings for all sections of our country and
the religion of Him who rules and
guides the destinies of worlds and
nations. Fraternally,
NJ G. GREGORY.

THE OCALA PLATFORM.

PLEASANT GROVE, No. 497.
Mr. EDITOR:-I desire to speak the
sentiment of our AIliance in regard TO
what Is formally called the Ocala plat
form. Although it seems to be very
easy matter to find good many out
siders who are ready to differ just as
they do on ali true Alliance principles.
But that doesn't at all change our
opinion, and we are now ready TO say
that, whereas, having the authority to
act on the Ocala question, that we do
heartily endorse the action taken by
the National Alliance, and that we eX-
pect to stand by the Ocala platform
and all other Alliance principles until
the end, and we nope that the Sub-AliI-
ances of the Union will do the same.
Further than that we would like to
know the sentiments of the Alliance
brethren of North Carolina on this
question. Yours fraternally
