THAT ADDRESS.

Mr. EDIT0R:-WhereaS, the chair
man of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee appointed q committee of ten,
five modern Democrats an five Ali
ance Democrats, to get up an address
and have it published as a harmonizer
between the reform movement and the
modern Democratic party, and whereas
that address makes US blush and hang
our heads with shame to think some
of our Alliancemen who have had the
most honorable office in the gift of the
Order in the State, and in our Judge
ment have so forgotten the dignity of
the Alliance, as to sign such a dOcu-
ment. We find the address in sub
stance about the same old partisan sen
timent that in substance has been
preached by both of the old parties for
the last twenty-five years, yes, and in
substance about the same old sermon
that has been preached from nearly ev-
cry stump and rOstrum from the Pa
cifc to the Atlantic, and has echoed
back and forth until it has become so
stale it it don't tickle u itching ears
wOFth a cent. Yes, we r getting older
than we usel to be in some respects,
and we fail to see where such an ad-
dress will have any tendency to bring
such reforms as we need, yes, we claim
to be AllianCemen, and we mean bust
ness. We have enlisted under the
Ocala demands, and we mean to stick
to our colors as long as we have Taird
Lieutenant to lead US, and if he de serts
us we mean to bushwhack it, therefore
RESOLVED By Pleasant Ridge Alliance
No. 532, that we set our seal of condem-
nation upon the acts of our Alliance
men for putting their signatures under
such an address.

Ridge Alliance, Jan, 2nd, 1892.

plies, &c The present financial laws
of our country are destroying the basis
of our government. 1t is driving honest
men, women and dependent children
from schools and churches.
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

Then it has strength that will be

LETTER FROM ALAMANCE.
BURLINGTON, N.

S4NAA44NN4SAN ~. ~.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Wm you please allow
us a small space in your columns to let
the brethren hear from us. We unani-
mously adopted the national demands
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union.
We have some as good Alliance grit
in our Alliance as anywhere to be
found.
Cotton and tobacco have continued
to fall in price until it is impossible for
the farmers to realize any from the
profits from the cultivation of the
same, and while we do not believe that
it is the quantity made that affects the
prices SO much as does speculation
and the financial condition of our cOun
try. Yet we do believe that it would
be beneficial for the farmers in the
cotton and tobacco belt to reduce the
acreage Of those crops and use their
best efforts TO raise more home sup
