OZARK LANTERN METHODS"

The following letter was sent to the
NecklenburQ Times by Bro. Gibbon on
the 18th of December, but was refused
as not being respectful" as the in
scription at the bottom shows:
DERITA, N. c., Dec. Is. 1891.
Mr. EDITOR:-I e in the MecELe12
burg Times that IAN Allianceman"
has informed you that "a very fancy
petition with red tape, &c, is being
sent to all the Sub Alliances in the
State" and that the said papers are
being signed by the Alliance almost to
a man, pledging themselves to support
a Third party in 1892" and that two
men in this county, that you well
know, are at work all over this county,
Iredell, Rowan, Cabarrus and Stanly."
| desire to say that since the above
statement was made public, [. with
other Alliancemen, have tried to find
out something about that paper or
petition, but it has not been seen or
heard of anywhere in the Alliance, and
we have no doubt that the whole story
is another farce, gotten up to injure
the farmers and laborers.
l think 1 know what is going on in
the Alliance, and l do say that
there never has been any such paper
or petition among us. Therefore / call
upon that Alliancaman ca who gave
that information to publish a state
ment in your paper over his own name
and let us know all about that paper,
give us a copy Of the petition, state
what Sub-Alliance has received one,
and tell us the names of those two
men in this county that are at work,
and say what kind of work they are
doing.
If your friend, the Allianceman, So
called, fails to make himself known in
a very short time, then I call upon
you, Mr.. Editor, to turn on the lights,
and let us know who he is, and all
about this plot that the State Chronicle
calls a dark lantern method" Tell
us, too who those other two fellows
are. 1 think it would be much better
if those who call themselves friends
would help the Alliance uphold truth
and6ustice, instead of publishing every
thing they can to injure us, without
waiting to find what is true.
Please send me two copies of the
Times that contains anything about
this matter and I will pay for them.
Very respectfully your
Alliance Friend,
NJ. GIBBONS.

BRO. WILSON AND BRO. QUINN.

Mr.. EDITOR Bro. S. Ohio Wilson
and our County Lecturer Quinn, visited
our Alliance recently with intellectual
food, which was well received. We
believe they are doing a great work for
a noble order Our brethren were
strengthened by them. Let all the
people think and see if they cannot
help on this reform movement. With
clear heads, willing hands and true
hearts. Are not our demands just7 No
true man or woman should fear to
stand for them, for He who is just
will take care of the truth" The pres
ent financial laws of country are
destroying the basis of our government.
1t is driving honest men, women and
dependent children from home schools
and churches. Oh! that we may be a
people with more homes in it's broadcast
sense; let q man with a few acres of
land, a garden, fruit trees and a few
flowers, feel that he is equally protected
by the laws of his country with the
wealthiest man in it. Then it has
strength that will be most durable; her
sons will speak of her as the best of
mothers, her daughters praise her with
delight, and her men will defend her
sweet liberty to the end. Brethren
and sisters, we should do more for the
papers that are doing so much for the
rights of our people.

makes no difference which end is up or

Query. How long will it take the
Alliance to chrystalize into law their
principles with one half on n end and
the other half on the other. You must
all get on one end and knock the money
devil with his adherents on the other
end and send them to kingdom come.
We will pay any Allianceman or any
one else one hundred dollars that will
solve the problem of length of time it

WHEREAS, The partisan press of
North Carolina and the would be bosses
of the two old parties of this country,
and enemies Of all that is good, have
tried to SANDER our noble Order by
sending out Infamous lies over the land
against our choice and election. There
fore, be it
ResozUed, That we go on record as
endorsing our noble President, L. L.
Polk, in all his actions, and hereby
tender him our respect for his grand
and manful fight for the rights of the

CAN'T o SEE7

Mr.. EDITOR:-Brethren, farmers,
labOrers, mechanics and all who earn
their bread by the sweat of their faces:
Why can't you see that the contraction
of the currency is the prime cause of
low prices for our products and our
hard times?
Can't you see that the partisan press,
the political leaders Of both parties, the
m~illiOnaires, the corporations and trust
concerns are using all the means in
their power to draw you from the
financial question, the money problem
of our land9
Can't you see that we have struck
the "bull's eye" when we demanded
the SUb-Treasury plan?
Don't you know that tariff reform,
free trade or protection amt worth a
hill of beans without a reform of the
money matters OF the country9
Do these matters need any argu-
ment9 Amt they just as plain as the
MONDAY sum- If the money matters
of the country amt where the reform
must commence, a host of us are in the
wrong boat. Brothers put your fingers
in your ears when anybody tries to
convince you that something else is to
blame for six or seven cent cotton.
1t makes my heart bleed when | tell
my neighbor and brother, Hold your
cotton" and he tells me q can't, l
must have the money topay my debt -"
Great GOdl How long, oh how long,
must this condition of things continues
Brethren, we can stop this Ubiquitous
robbers if we will stand firm at the
ballot box. Vote for no one who is not
in sympathy with our demands. Drop
your party as a dog would a hot potato,
unless the candidate is one of us, for
us, and will stand against all tempta-
ton. DO not for a moment believe you
can get your rights from either of the
old parties as at present organized.
There is good and true men in both
parties; select them for your standard
bearers, and all will be well.
Fours f~raternally,

AN APPEAL TO ALL THE SOUTH
ERIN FARMERS.
@. T. DAVIS, Sec'y.

Mr.. EDTTOR This appeal is made to
all the farmers of the South because of
the exceedingly low price of cotton in
all our markets. From the latest re-
ports, cotton is now ranging from st to
II cents, and every farmer of the South
who has ever raised a cotton crop is
well aware that it is utterly impossible
for any man to raise cotton at the
above prices. And whatever may be
your condition today, you can never
make it any better by raising cotton at
the above prices; but on the other hand
your condition will certainly get worse
every year until you who now have
homes will be left homeless, and you
and your families will be brought to
downright slavery, worse than that
ever endured by the cOlored people
prior to the last civil war. We speak
from experience, and testify to that
which we do know. I therefore do
most earnestly appeal to every farmer
of the South, both in and out of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
not to plant one seed of cotton in 1892,
let the consequences be what they may.
v . urge this upon the grounds,
1. 1t will be rUinous to you and your
families to attempt to raise cotton at
present prices.
3. If it is overproduction, as specu-
lators and politicians claim, then not
to plant one seeds certainly the near
est way out, and will bring to the
laboring classes the most speedy relief.
3. And if it is speculation by trusts
and combines that causes the low price
of cotton, then this plan of not plant
ing one seed, is the most effectual way
of breaking up these combines and
bringing about prices at which the
farmers can live.
Then Imost earnestly appealto every
farmer in the South to sign a pledge
not to plant one seed of cotton in the
year 1892; and further appeal to every
Allianceman to see that this matter IS
brought before every Sub Alliance and
every County Alliance, at their next
meeting, and let us see if we cannot
secure concert of action In this matter;
and if we can, l tell you relief to tne
oppressed will come. And let every
Alliance that takes this pledge, publish
the same at once, in The PRORGEsSlH5
FARMER, for the encouragement anu
information of all concerned.
Brethren, everywhere, l say leu =
fall into line like men, and victory WI
be ours. GEO. u. HUM

TRENTON, n. G

BRETHREN:-Deep Springs Alliance,
No. 1876, of Jones Co., N. O., do hereby
appeal to and petition the brethren Of
the Sub Alliances of the State in behalf
of Bros. E. M. Jones and g. w. Bas-
den. Bro. Jones has lost his horse
from staggers; his horse and crop was

lose his mule. He is a young man and
worthy, has just commenced life; his
mule was bought in the spring on time
and the consequence is his entire years
work is lost to him.
Both of the above named are good
and worthy members Of our noble
Order, and we earnestly appeal to the
brethren of the State to respond as
literally as they can in their aid. Deep
Springs Alliance has always responded
to brethren i'll distress as literally as
their means would justify. All con-
tributions will be addressed to Cullen
