THE NOT ALL.

A farmer in Michigan sold his farm
of one hundred acres in 1864 for 800
per acre-not an extravaganza price at
that time-and received $40, 900. With
this he bought $40, 600 of United States
bonds, bearing 6 per cent. interest in
coin. These bonds furnished an income
of 5000 per annum, and left him free to
dispose of his own labor as he saw fit.
His labor, together with the income
from the bonds, supported his family
without adding to or taking from the
original amount received as proceeds
from the sale of the farm. In 1873 the
6 per cent. bonds were exchanged for
4 per cents due in 1902. At present
rates of premium his bonds are worth
81. 700. How is it with the purchaser
of the farm2 For the first few wears
the business of farming paid him a
profit, but since 1873 his profits have
grown less, until a state of positive loss
has been reached. As it now stands,
he is an old man; his best energies
gone. His farm is less fertile, his build
ings old and weather beaten. He has
no more stock than when he began.
and the farm that cost him $4,000
tWenty-slx years ago, upon which he
has expended all the labor of the best
years OF his life, cannot be sold for
81, 900. Meanwhile, the money with
which 1T was purchased has increased
in its power Over values until it will
now buy more than three just such
farms Is there not something beyond
free trade or protective tariff in this
eXampleR-NGttOnGL Waterman.

THE ALLIANCE NoN-PARr1sAN.

The Nashville TOiEer gives the follow
ing definition of the o partisan course
the Alliance is pursuing in Tennessee:
1.-THE members of the Order everv-
where surely understand the non-par-
tisan character of the Alliance. It is
for the benefit of those on the outside
of the Order that we again present the
duties of Alliance lodges toward politi-
cal parties. This is made more neces-
sary because of the position taken bv
the TOiLer or independent action.
$50 far not a single Alliance lodge
has endorsed the Peoples party, al
though many Peoples party clubs have
been organized in the State. We sir
cerely hope this policy will be con
tinued. The Alliance is aimed to be a
school for the farmers, where they can
discuss the science of government in a
"strictly nOn-partisan way" The
necessity of continuing the organiza
ton partisan can be clearly seen
when we consider the question of it's
growth. If to join the Alliance meant
to join the Peoples party, the Demo-
cratic and Republican farmers who
have followed their parties through
good or evil, and who have never been
taught to doubt the wisdom of bossism,
would remain out of the Alliance, and
for that reason the scales would never
fall from their eyes.
1.-The education acquired in the Ali
ance lodges has developed into the most
wonderful concensus of opinion ever
recorded. The investigation developed
a wrong, further Investigation de-
veloped two wrongs, and still further
investigation developed three wrongs,
which are covered by the st. Louis
platform, under the heads, Money,
Land and Transportation" 1t was by
agitation and education that we con
cIuded that the remedy lies only in the
formation of a new party. You know
that you would never have joined the
Alliance had it meant a slipping of the
party collar, because you once loved
that dear old halter. Then when you
look at it in that light it is best never,
inside of an Alliance lodge, to attempt
an endorsement of the Peoples party.
Have your clubs to meet the same night
after the adjournment of the lodge.
Each lodge should stand firmly by the
Ocala and ST. Louis demands, but do
not put the party bride on inside the
lodge. Let Democrats, Republicans
and Peoples party men all feel free"

A WEEK OF S~ELF-DENIAL.

To the Friends of Economic Reform
Throughout the United States
Greeting:
We have reached a crisis in the po-
litical history of this country. The
c~onfederated industrial organ izations
have agreed upon a platform and have
called a natl Jnal convention to meet
at Omaha, July 4th next for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination candi-
dates for the offices of President and
Vice-President of the United States.
The forces which we antagonize are
unscrupullus and backed by unlimited
capital, while on the other hand those
who look to the Omaha Convention as
the hope of the Republic and the
promise of reform, though great in
numbers are nevertheless poor in purse,
We have no rich corporations or syn
dictates upon which to draw for our
campaign funds. We must depend
upon the small contributions from
those who love justice and equal laws
as the source of revenue to meet cur
rent campaign expenses. While it is
believed that all are willing to con
tribute literally, yet it seems difficult
to reach the public sc as to secure time
ly and uniform action.
The cause for which We are strug-
Cling is sacred and appeals to the
highest convictions of the soul and
calls upon the brotherhood throughout
the Union for a suitable offering.
W~e7earnestly request that the second
week in July, 1892, beginning Sunday,
the tenth day of that month and end
ing on Saturday, the 10th, be set apart
as a week to be known as a week of
"self-denial" on the part of all people
Of the United States who favor the
principles for which we are contend
ing, and that during that week they
each deny themselves of some luxury
or supposed necessity for which they
are in the habit of paying weekly a
sum of money, and that at the end of
said week they make an estimate of the
amount which has been saved in this
way and that they Immediately for
ward the same by draft, money order
or registered letter to the Treasurer of
the Peoples party in their respective
counties, one half of said sum to be i'm
mediately placed by him in bank for
the use of the State committee and the
other half to be Immediately forwarded
to the Treasurer of the National Com
mittee of said party. We urge that
the remittances shall in no case be de.
layed beyond the Monday following
the expiration of the week of "self-
denial" Frater nally yours,
J. B. WEAVER.

THE NEW PARTY.

On last Wednesday, at two o'clock,
Chairman w. r. Lindsay, of Rocking
ham county, called a meeting in the
Conference Hall in this city, for the
nurpose of taking preliminary stepsfor
the organization of the Peoples party
in this State
Many of those who desired to take
part were delegates to the State Con-
vention and could not be present.
However, about seventy five counties
were represented by members of both
old parties. and as good men as the
State affords.
Mr.. c. N. Jervis, of Marshall, Madi-
son county, was elected Secretary. No
action was taken in regard to State
matters, $ they could not foretell the
result of the State Convention, then in
session.
The Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee was authorized to take imme-
diate steps to have each Congressional
district represented at Omaha, July 4th.
The following resolution was intro
4uced, discussed and unanimously
passed:
Resolved, THAT this being the first
regularly organized Peoples party con
vention of the State of North Carolina,
we cannot let this occasion pass with
out saying to the people of the United
States that in the person of L. L. Polk
we have the patriot, statesman, the
Christian gentlemen, in whom we have
every confidence. His ability, integrity,
and purity, fully qualify him for any
position in the gift of the American
people, and at Omaha, Nebraska, in
July, we propose to present our valued
citizen as a candida: e for the Presi
dency."

NATIONAL BANKS.

The Missouri WorIdhas the following
to say about banks:
The national banks allcge that the
circulation feature no longer yields
themmuchproft, owing to the reduced
rate Of interest on bonds aud the high
premium on bonds to secure circula
ton. They are correct. Yet the sys-
tenn is about as costly to the people as
ever. They must pay the banks a high
rate of interest to get the very money
that the banks get at 1 per cent. Here
in the West the banks charge s per
cent. up on straight loans, and when
they discount a note get as high as %
per cent. interest. Why not the banks
give up the circulation feature and let
the money issue directly to the people
at l per cent. the same at which it is
issued to the banks?"
