THE DALLEs, Aug. 1S.-As yet
there has been no wheat offering
from this years crops. ThreJhing
is in progress throughout this seq
ton, and the opinion has prevailed
for some time that high prices
would be realized. This feeling has
been strengthened by the late rise In

THE FARMER PAYS THE
FREIGHT.

We will send abroad 100000, 900
bushels of wheat. For it we will re-
ceive say $3.50, 100000 This will be in
vested in clothing, in carpets, in linens,
in furniture, in chinaware, in tinWare,
bardwsrd, etc, etc.
When these cargoes reach New York
they are served by Federal officers. They
are weighed and measured sod valued,
and the owners are compelled to pay in
duties so per cent of the value of the
cargoes. This will be a tax of sl25,
900, 600.
In other words, the farmers must
send abroad three bushels OF wheat in
order to get in return the exchange
value OF two.
Last year the exports Of cotton amount
ed to IS 800, 900 bales. One-third of the
return cargoes were oonfscated under
the plea OF protection.
Oi last years cotton crop two-thirds
were exported, one third was consumed
at home.
It required all the cotton sold in
American mills to pay the duties on the
return GARAGES taken in exchange for the
5,S90,G0 bales sold abroad.
Here We have an object lesson illustra
ting the injustice and the oppression Of
Of our whole system, so-called.
The farmer, he pays the freight; he
pays the tax; he pays the pensions To
do this he has to cultivate three acres in
order to have for bis own use the pro
duct Of two.

NO BLUNDER.
The Wilmington Messenver ssys.

The Wilmington Messenger says:
North Carolina must bs represented at
Chicago. We have suggested two ways:
One is to raise money by general sub
scription; the other is for Governor Holt
or some other rich man to generously ad-
vance the money and look to the Legis
lature 10 make it good. Possibly bet
ter and surer way is that proposed by
the Durham Globe-to call the Legisla-
ture together to make needed appro-
priation. II thinks the railroads would
transport the members for nothing, and
they could we'll afford to 30 to Raleigh
aud sit for one day without pay, as it
was their own blunder that necessitates
the called session. Then, they are North
Carolinians and owe that much to the
State-to see it well represented in a
great fair where the world will send its
best goods.
The Legislature made no blunder. 1t
knew what 1t was doing and it did it af-
ter careful estimate and consultation
with Gov. Fowls. II the Legislature
were called together to- morrow the first
thing it would do would be to Gallon Gov.
Holt for o statement as to the amount Of
direct tax money paid out on claims, and
If it did not exceed the estimate made
by that body last February, then it would
by resolution endorse the bill passes, ,ad.

HOW THE ATTACTS ARE
MADE.
The Effect they Are Having.

Il Is plain to every u1preludIc3d mind
that the attacks that are being made
upon Col Polk have their origin In the
hatred Of the cause that he represents.
They were unheSrd of before he identi-
fed himself with the Alliance Love
meut. AMI it is worthy of note that
every charge made against his charac-
TT he's been proven fal7e Is it not
about time that the mouths Of the SIAN
dereEs were stopped For four succes-
eiye years he has been elected President
Of the State Baptist Convention, posi-
ton Of equal dignity Of Methodist or
Episcopal Bishop or Presbyterian mod
erato~. Would that BODY composed Of
the character and Intelligence cf the
great Baptist denomination, SO honor 6
coward and hypocrit2 Nay, verify
The charge that Col, Polk played the
coward at the battle OF Winchester has
been explained.
The unjust and uncalled for attacks
upon Col. Polk has had two effects; %
They have driven Alliancemen to him
and solidifed the order and absolutely
weakened the confidence of the people
in the truthfulness of the portizan press
and ~ made bis reelection as Presi-
dent Of the National Alliance necessi-
y. II they are continued, it requires

There are individual exhibits which ar.
highly creditable The display made by

pany is very attractive. People from
this part OF the State cannot help feel
ing pride in the display made by The
Elkin Valley Woolen Mills. The S.ate''
collection Of minerals and gems, whicf
has been tranferred for the time being tt
the exposition building, reflects tht
greatest credit upon us. The sxbibi
made by the University arrests atten
tion; so does that made by the OXFORD
Orphan Asylum. Here and there Over
the large building are scattered object'
OF interest. Big pumpkins and gaudy
bed quilts greet the eye, OF course. Th'
art exhibit is, in the main, a mess. The
rsilroad fare is very low ard it will pay
any Of our people to go to Raleigh to sex
this show, which, as ssid at the outset
is q very good oae indeed; but it is no
fair to call it Southern Inter State Ex
position. 1t is not comparable to the
State Exposition of 1884, which was (
North Carolina affair excluaively.
Yes the State Exposition Of "a was IA
superior to the present exhibit, which ii
a failure as great Southern Inter STATE
Exposition. But why is it that Nortl
Carolina alone does not make as goot
an exhibit now as 1t did them? She ha
lost great opportunity, for if she hat

When the farmers and other wealth
producers began to complain OF the low
and falling prices ,.of the products oi
their labor, and to uspect that 1t was
due to a contracted currency, the money
power through It's subsidized papers be-
gan and has since been repeating the
statement th 1t the law Of supply and de-
mand alone controlled prices. The time
was when the farmer would swallow this,
but now he is thinking for himself and
knows that the Law Of supply aod de-
mand regulates prices only when the vol,
une Of money in circulation is controlled
by the same law.
