JANUARY MEETING CLEVELAND
COUNTY ALLIANCE.

Mr.. Ed T0R:- Several matters Of
interest came before the Cleveland
County Alliance and were easily dis
posed of. We never had q more har-
monious meeting
DIR. L. N. Durham, lecturer eighth
district, was elected delegate to a dis
trict meeting which will send a dele
gate to the st. Louis conference.
The matter Of paying the county
lecturer for his services was placed
in the hands Of the executive com
mittee.
a very liberal collection was taken
for the benefit of some unfortunate
brethren.
The following resolution was unani
mously passed:
WHEREAS, The business agency is as
much a part of the State Alliance as
any other department.; and whereas,
said agency by reason Of it's large
volume of trade and commercial usage
is able to procure a discount for the
State Alliance treasury which is very
much needed; and whereas, our cOun-
ty has not patrOniZed said agency to
the extent it should; therefore
ResOtUed, That we ask every ALI
anceman in the county to do all his
trade through said agency, unless it
should be to his interest to trade else
where. J. II. QUINN, Lecturer,

Mr.. EDITOR:-Will you allow me a
few words in praise Git can't be praised
too highly of the speech delivered by
c.. ". Macune at TOmlinsOn Hall, In
dianapOlis. during the late session of
the 3. A. and l u
Without the least intention Of being
at ali invidious, for we have had many
very able speeches from Alliance men,
the speech of DR.. Macune's is the most
mastery exposition of the principles
and aims of the Alliance that has en-
anated from any source. Il Is broad,
comprehensive, and deals with the sub
ject in no narrow sense, but considers
and embraces ali classes in the benlf-
cert principles OF the order, and
withal, SO dispassionately enlarged
upon and generously offered for the
promotion Of universal good, and
right, and justice that no man, what
ever his calling Or condition, can take
the least exception to or urge one
silver Of objection with any semolance
Of Justice. No bitter TRADE Is lndul-
ged in, Notwithstanding the prOvOca
lions the speaker had to do so from the
bitter attacks upon himself and the
order by outsiders no attempt at sen
timental spreadeagleism is manifested,

with charitable and kindly feeling to-
wards all classes of common sufferers,
that it sounds like a gospel preached
by some apostle of truth inspired by
the wall tnat swells and means up
from all sides of mans i~nhumanity to
man.
But, take it all in al, it is only what
we had to expect from n who con-
ducts such an Incompatible organ as
the National Economist. 1t makes
one proud of the order to which he be
longs to- see such a mastery display Of
comprehensive ability and champion
ship by one of US IN the person Of DR..
MaCune. Indeed, this speech should
be in the hends Of every A~lllanceman,
to be studied and tt ought over until
he comprehends every word of it, and
then, my word for it, he will not only
be thoroughly imbued with genuine
Orthordox Alliance principles, pcinci-
pies purged Of the dissentiOns and rep
rehensible MISUNDERSTANDING prevail
lag here and there about the OOjeCtRnd
intentions of the order, as well az the
methods to be pursued, but he will be
equipped to combat all the tulS0me and
infamous perverslOns INDUCED IN By
outsiders to belittle and render of no
avail the most potent movement ever
inaUgurated to relieve distress and
lend a helping had to suffering, crushed
humanity.
The beauty of the speech is that, al
though it deals with intricate economic
and financial questions, it is all made
80 plain and comprehensive that every
thing touched upon a be understood
and thoroughly comprehended by any
tyro in the order who haA the leaat de-
sire or ambition to become grounded
in it's principles, and the methods by
which they should be carried out.
Every Sub Alliance Secretary in the
State should be authorized to 0
tribute from the funds in hand a suffi-
Gent sum to furnish all the members
with a copy of this speech. By send

in phamphlet form will be sent to any

PLANT LESS COTTON.

At a regular meeting Of the Wilson
County Alliance, held January 18th,
1892, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the Wilson County
Alliance recommend to the members
of the Alliance and other farmers of
the county, to plant not more than one
acre in cotton to five, to the horse,
this year, and they especially recon-
mend hat no guano be used under the
cotton crop for the year 1892.
3. That we ask I'll State Executive
Committee to draft a plan of insurance
and submit it to Sub Alliances for
their adoption or rejection.
3. That these resolutions be sent to
THR Progressive FARMER for publica-
ton. w. l. GRIMMER,

Will o COUNTY.
e. 4 THORN.
A. A, WHITE,
Committee.

The Wilson County Alliance passed
resolutions recommending that the
members Of the Farmers Alliance OF
that county and the farmers generally
to plant in cotton not more than one
acre III five to the horse, and that no
gunanO be used under the cotton crop.
This is a wise recommendation. While
there IS no money in raising provisions
at the present rate, yet to make all
supplies needed at home is the safest
plan and will not neceasitate debt
The outlay in guano alone in Wilson
county for the past year was more
than 5000, 900. This is one Of the leaks
at the farmers door. No doubt the
lands are being exhausted by the con
slant stimulation by commercial fer
t~illizers, and IN lands wanting vege.
table matter it has proven a curse in
stead of a blessing in nearly every case.
We hope the action of the Wilson
County Alliance may be adopted
throughout the whole belt and a change
in the planting Of cotton and the use
of fertilizers.

The membership fee of the Associa

It was decided by unanimous vote to
appropriate the sum OF not less than
five hundred dollars nor more than
one thousand dollars to the Columbian
Exposition at Chicago for the advance
mentOf the interests of the DOrest-tiOrn
Sheep and the money to be distributed
among it's exhibitors as directed by the
executive committee.
Mr.. Wylie offered a resolution on
behalf of the Association hat the ex
hibition be closed on the Sabbath.
The secretary's report showed that
the first sheep was admitted to record
in the Association on the twenty-thlrd
day of June. 1891; that from that day
to the first day of January, 1892,
1895 were admitted of record. OF
this number 500 we're imported, 437

was first introduced in the United
States by VIM. Daley, LockpOrt, n. Y,
on March %. 1897, he having purchased
one ram and two ewes from y. E.
Fuller, Hamilton. Canada, for the sum
of $l7O. The first importation of
Dor5etg into the United States was
E. F. Bowditch, Of birmingham,
Mass, in July, 1887. During the
year Dorset-HOrn Flock Book was
established in England, which will
be of great assistance to American
associations by protecting it from that
class of sheep known as "cuIls."
The old officers were re elected, and
on motion it was agreed to hOld the
next annual meeting at Fifth Avenue
Hotel in New York city on the second
Wednesday Of January, 1898

JUDGE CLARK ENDORSED.

RIDGEwAY, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-I am no man for pub
lie notoriety, but l feel that I cannot
afford to let the opportunity pass to
ask you to publish IN your valuable
paper my sincere thanks and gratitude
to Judge Walter Clark for his able,
strong and unanswerable articl, or let
ter, in the last PROGRESSIVE FARMER
with reference to the telegraph and
telephone being parts OF the postal
system. The telegraph and telephone,
as nov conducted, is one of the most
gigantic and dangerous m~OnOpOlies in
THIS country. and should be controlled
and operated just as Judge Clark sug-
gests. We're the Judge never to write
another article, this manly and patri-
Otto one, eminently entities him to the
thanks and profound gratitude of the
American people.
In my candid opinion his views With
reference to this matter are endorsed
by more than one hundIei thousand Of
the best citizens Of good OLD North
Carolina. So I conclude by saying, all
honor to Judge Clark for his grand
letter.
The Alliance is moving on smoothly
ana quietly in Warren, and you can
count on her making a good report Of
her stewardship at the proper time.

THE REAL CAUSE.

You who complain Of hard times
without assigning any reason therefor,
place the hands on the dial back
twenty-five years when the per capita
circulation was about $50 and then YOU
will know just what is necessary be-
fore we a expect a re-enactment of
the prosperous tIme of that period.
Really, the most pitiable folly of the
age is that of a Congress cropping it's
way at noOntide, under preCense Of
looking for a solution of the simplest
problem in finance. On the 18th day
Of AprJ, 1866, Congress passed a law
authorizing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to sell $50 bonds and with the
proseeis retire United States currency,
including greenbacks. When this
death knell Of prosperity was an,
nOunced our country had 81 sos SS7, no

was fed with paper money for fuel for
ten years, long enough to cremate
about $500. 600 600 Of paper money, re-
suIting in 81, go business failures which
involved a loss of 1858, All, OOO. Here
Is the result of contraction for a period
of ten years, and yet those laundering,

cause of hard times. We are driven
to one of two legitimate conclusions
