SENSIBLE TALK.

The Florida Standard, which evil
IDENTIFY is a very fair and sensible po-
litical newspaper, writing of the way
the politicians are trying to do the
Alliance, says:
"For this reason those who presume
to estimate the influence upon matters
political or social likely to be exercised
by the Farmers Alliance, must gather
the requisite data from friend and foe
alike; and there can be little doubt thai
those who have denounced the Order
have in many cases rendered it the
greatest service in their power.
"More than one of our ContempOra-
ries-esteemed and OGherwise-have
found their Democracy unequal to the
strain put upon it by the determine
ton of our farmers to fill the place so
long occupied and so long abused by
the non producing classes. And among
the charges laid at the door of the Ali
ance by these purveyOrs OF more than
doubtful Democracy, none have been
found more available than that which
imputes the organization the unpar-
donable sin of 'unpOpularity.'
In the eyes of those who, to the
most pressing problems of the day can
bring no better solution than that of
the fatal left-alone policy, this organi-
zation counter to the preconceived
notions of certain professional poll
ticians, has run its course But the
loss of popularity by no means neces-
sarily involves the loss of character,
and there is unfortunately in this coun
try to day a class whose endorsement
is in itself the most serious OF indict-
ments. The Alliance speaks for the
people, the politicians too often speak
for themselves, and until these con
ditions are reversed, the attempt to
convict the Order upon any such trans
parent pretext will be thrown out of
court by the plain common sense of the
people. In the fact that the Alliance
has made itself an object of hatred to
those who have an unavOwed interest
in sustaining the present system of
organized injustice, lies its strongest
claim to public confidence; and if no
more dangerous missile than this can
be raked up by the oppression press,
their operations should be discontinued
until a moment more Op~pOrtune."

WISE RESOLUTIONS
BUCKHoRN ALLIANCE, No. 468.

BUCKHORN ALLIANCE, No. 46S.
At regular meeting of this Alliance,
held on the 26th of December, 1891, the
following resolutions were carried
unanimously:
WHEREAS, Our money crops, cotton
and tobacco, have continued to fall in
price until it is impossible for the
farmers to realize any profits from the
cultivation of the same; and while we
do not believe that it is the quantity
made that affects the price, so much as
does speculation and the financial con
ditiOn of u country, yet we do be-
lieve 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 supplies. Therefore be it
ResoLUed, By Buckhorn Alliance,
No. 468, that we will put in only five
Gre of cotton and two acres of tobacco
to each horse crop in cultivation.
3. That we ask all outsiders, as we'll
as Alliancemen everywhere, to stand
by us and adopt similar resolutions
and use their best efforts and influence
to that end.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes, a copy
sent to Wilson County Alliance and a
copy to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER for
publication.

ERRONEOUS r

On the appearance of a so called
synopsis of the report of the Treasurer
of the United States, a few days since.
the partisan press seized upon some of
the figures presented as proving their
partys position as to the changes in
the money IN circulation. A close
scrutiny of the statements in the
synopsis disclosed so gross inconsis
tencies that the Kansas Farmer could
make no use them of them without
danger of miSrepresenting the facts.
In order to get the exact truth a por-
ton of the synopsis was cut from the
associate press department of a lead
ing paper and, accompanied by apprO-
pirate inquiries. was sent to the Treas
urer. The following received:
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, Dec. Z, 1891.
The Kansas Farmer Company, Topeka,
Kansas:
GENTLEMEN In reply to the inquiry
made in your letter of the Sd inst, in
closing a newspaper clipping in refer
ence to the Treasurer's annual report,
and inquiring whether the statements
are as he made them. [ have to say
that they are not. The matter furn-
lSneq Il press had naturally to be
much condensed, and the printed
paragraph before me is SO much fur
Their condensed from the original that
the Treasurer must be responsible for
any impression it may create.
shall take pleasure in sending YOU
one of the first copies received from
the press. They are expected in a day
or two. Respectfully,
j. W. WHELPLEY.
Asst Treasurer United States.
1t is not exected that the party
papers which SO jubllantly used the
statements for which the Treasurer
declines to be responsible will O
come toward and confess their fault to
thelrtrusting readers-Kunsas Former

TO H H

I have made contract to have Ii
fertilizer manufactured for 1892 by the
Durham Fertilizer Company. l will
distribute this year from Richmond
and Portsmouth, Va, and Durham and
Wilmington, N. c., thereby supplying
in every section of the State at lowest
possible freight rates. The goods can
be placed at many depots at a smaller
cost on account of freights than last
year, though material has advanced in
yrice. Stand by the resolution passed
at our annual meeting at Morehead
City, in August, and we will win as we
did in the jute bagging trust. There
was great opposition to us then, and
still there is, but stand true to our
Alliance principles and all will work
out to the good of each member of the
Order, to the State and Nation.

each other thieves and liars for the last

of the charge, pool their issues, and

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE KNABE
PIANOS.

These Pianos have established their
excellence in every community where
they have been introduced, and the
most eminent performers have given
them the most unqualified approval.
Their appreciation, however, is not
confined to the class known as profess
sion artists but they are as highly
priced in the parlor as in school room
or upon the stage. G36)

A POLK"

Most of our readers in North Caro-
lima know President Polk quite we'll.
But as they may not know what a bad
General" he was during the late
war, we give below the statements
of two Union soldiers who have been
found by the Associated Press gang Of
hoodlums:
Sergeant Lamb and all of the regi
ment except ~fifty-seven were either
killed or captured while in advance
line of battle, three miles from Rich
mond, October 18th. 1864. Company
III was not In the battle that day; this
company had 90 members; there
but 81 of the regiment found, all told,
after the battle. The prisoners were
all taken to Salisbury, prison and
direct orders of the president of our
great reform party. Comrades. this
thing is too hot for you to monkey
with. Drop it."
P. w. KENYON,
COrinth. Osborne Co., Kansas.
The above does the General" up
at a high rate, but another statement,
from John w. Lamb, of Exeter, Neb.,
is so good that we use it also. We
trust that General Polk" will feel
sorry after reading this:
eyes, know old Polk! I remember
just how he looks-the old cuss One
day he and two doctors came into the
prison to inspect the sanitary condition
of the pen just as a wagon load of
dead soldiers was being hauled out. I
was standing a few feet from Polk as
the load of dead soldiers passed, and
Polk said to the doctors: That is just
what like to see; them damned Yanks
won't fight any more
ooh, how I wanted to jump onto
him. | said to him right there that I
was not going to please him, but I
would live to fight him again. Our
rations consisted of one pint of corn
meal, ground cob and all together; or
sometimes we got instead n pint of
cane seed ground, or wheat bran; one
pint of either was got for one day. We
had no meat or potatoes. We were
provided with nothing for bedding and
were compelled to lie in mud. God
