each. There is about 500 acres in the
whole irac. that the three farms are on.
am saiisfsd II would not bring over s. an
acre. or 3,000. Now the interest on that
amount, n 8 per cent, (which the owner Of
the land says is outrageous'y high for q
bank to charge for money! is S24O, but let's
see what interest we pay him for the use Of
bis land: Nine bales Of cotton, at $35 o
bale, Is S3l5, or 101 per cent. on $3 900.
You may cay 1 have put the price OF the
cotton too high, but il have put the price
Of the land ahd the interest too high, TO
square it.
Now, Mr. Editor, the mon we rent from
is one Of the prominent Alliaocemen Of the
County, and l have heard him abuse the
banks and The merchants for expressing his
"poor brother farmers" by charging them
cxorhitant prices f'r goods and ruinous
prices for money. have heard him say
that per cent was as h gh as the law ought
to allow bank or any one else to charge
FIR money. and that merchants could afford
to sell goods Mt 10 per cent above what he
Ills cost and carriage, which | suppose
means to pay clerk hire, rent, taxes, insur-
ance, saying nothing about any losses
out Of the 10 per cent. have had some
| sad experience in keeping store myself, and
speak from the book, when tell you that
| it can he done.
Now, Mr.. Editor, how does this practice
of this poor Farmers friend agree with his
preaching? Isn't it the old st,ry Of the
other man's OK that gored?
In The same paror you say the Alliance is
declining. and call upon the lealers to take
it cut of rolitics and restore the Order to
its social, educational aud business work.
Lot me tell you, it is not politics that's driv-
ing the poor Farmers out of the Order half
as much as the high price ltnd owners, who
preach Alliance principles in the Lodge,
bnt show no quarters to their Ioor brother
members, in renting them land or hiring
their labor. We see they are not sincere in
their professions, and begin 10 think that
the Order is getting to be an organiz, on Of
plutocratic land owners aud Office seekers.
We arc tired of politics, false pretenses
and boss rule in the Lodge, aui want more
of the true grit Of Alliance principles, as
taught us when we first joined, prac iced
between the members, especially between
landowner aud tenants.

believe that the honest farmers have at
last perceived that not every man with a
white skin who prctends to till the soil Is q
NJ subject for the Alliance, and the Alliance
Of our County has inadvertently admitted to
its fold some specimens OF humanity who
are not only disgrace 10 the agricultural
class Of our people, but are unworthy Of the
namo of q man, in its true sense.
Tho Latin language has two words to sx.
press adult male human beings i. e. ITr. q
man was one who either possessed or sought
after ali The qualifications of true greatness,
of which yalor veraciy and virtue were but
attributes of his nature. Tho other, Homo,
man, wns only the name to distinguish him
fran the brute creation, and was applied to
these who did not possess the qualifications
of true manhood. And, alas this Uoma;
pluraized to homines, has crept into and
contaminated every organiza' of Church
and STATE, from the golden days Of Roman
greatness to the present time.
And | beg of you. yc honest tlers of the
soil, who would give honest bread to the
honest eater, and sod TO tho sower," to
apply the test to every one who seeks to be a
brother, and see whether he be Homo or
Pr.
IL he rides empty goods boxs, for hours
at some crossroads store, whiting and tell

give him the right hand Of fellowship" and
bid him 'Go1 speed"
And to tho faitefml members Of the old guard

your cooperation, as an agricultural orgaui-
