you owe to yourselves, your wives,
your children, and the rising genera

the measures to be adopted to obtain

muscle. All we ask is a fair profit on
the capital invested. The principles OF
the Alliance are the greatest good to

all. On this broad platform we can all
stand. Your interest is the same as

United we stand, divided we fall.

HATCH TALKS OF SPRINGER.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 11.-Congressman
Hatch, of Missouri, on his way to
Washington last night was asked if
Congressman Springer's speech in New
York had outlined the policy of the
Democratic party.
"Springer?" he replied. springer?
I have no doubt he intended to outline
our policy; all that he has ever done
for the party was done in outline. |
do not think Mr.. Springer speaks for
anyone but himself, and he usually
holds the same opinion for only a day
at a time. We of the South and West
are for free silver and mean to have
it. 1t is the burning question of the
hour and the Democrats shall not
shirk it.
con the contrary, we will face it
boldly as we have faced all the leading
questions of our generation. Mr.. Bland
will most likely Introduce his bill, and
it will go through. AS to it's being
vetoed, l hardly think President Har-
rison will deliberately fly in the face
of half of the country to obey the die.
tates of Wall street. WaIlstreet is at the
base of the opposition to the bill. The
bi-metalic Congress has gotten up to
delay the bill by useless discussion.
We are not going to be turned aside
by any such scheme"
Congressman Bland, who was with
Mr.. Hatch, said: '"The only informa-
ton 1 can give is that a free silver bill
will be certainly introduced and most
probably passed during the approach,
ing session. l will introduce the bill
and fight for it. With regard to my
choice for President, I do not desire to
name any. He will have to be a free
silver man before l vote for him."

AN INCOME TAX.

The New York World presents some
of the merits of the proposed income
tax in a few pithy and pointed words.
The World says:
When a tax is levied upon property
the man who has much must pay more
than the man who has little. dthis Is
perfectly just. The man who pays
most has most tU be protected by the
State and should contribute most to
pay for the production.
An income tax answers perfectly to
this principle. 1t has the additional
merit that it deprives no man of the
necessaries or the comforts Of life; that
it places burdens where they are most
easily borne; that it does not impose
restrictions upon trade, or in any way
handicap industry; that it taxes results,
not processes. accumulated wealth,
not the means of wealth's creation, and
that it merits those who pay the taxes
to know how much they pay. Indi-

rection in taxation is the prolific
mother of extravaganza in public
expenditure.
This is well and clearly stated. An
income tax burdens no industry and
interferes with no enterprise. It is
paid by wealth, and not by poverty.
Whether such a tax should be so
graduated as to make it Improbable
for millionaires to swell their income
beyond a certain point is another
question. For the present it is enough
to require the man who has most to be
protected by the government to pay
the most for the protection he enjoys.
This idea is rapidly winning favor, and
the income tax is becoming a very
live issue.

GROWERS CONVENTION

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 12.-The con
ventiOn of cotton growers after a recess
Saturday evening listened to the fol-
lowing report from committee on the
resolutions:
First, we recommend that this con-
ventiOn do proceed to organize a per-
manent organization to be known as
the Cotton Growers and Merchants
Association"
Second, we recommend that said or
ganizatiOn shall consist of one presi-
dent, treasurer and one vice president
from each of the cotton growing
States.
Third, we recommend that there be
local organizations of said cotton
growers and merchants association
organized in every State, county and
town in the cotton growing region, and
that said local organizations shall,
where possible and practicable, CO.
operate with any farmers organization
now in existence.
Fourth, we recommend that the re-
ductlOn In acreage planted in cotton
for the year 1892, be 20 per cent. less
than that planted in 1891.
Fifth, we further recommend that
each and every farmer or planter
within a cotton growing States, do
plant more diversified crops, and es-
pecially take extraordinary precautions
to the end that he shall produce an
abundance of corn, peas, hay, oats,
and such other n~ecessaries for his own
and his family's supplies, and we here
by appeal, personally and individually,
that each and every person favOring
this plan, do lend his ali and influence
| to further this end.
Sixth, in view of the fact that the
mercantile interest of the south is
largely held responsible, whether
righttully or not, for the planting of
cotton, verging upon the exclusion of
other products, it is therefore suggested
and hopefully urged upon them to
contribute by their advice and in other
substantial ways to the bringing about
this coveted reform in our farming
methods.
Seventh, we recommend that a com
mlttee of five shall be appointed by the
president, whose duty it shall be to
draft such a constitution and bylaws
as are necessary to carry into effect the
objects Of this organization,
Eighth, we recommend that each
member and delegate to this conven-
| ton use their united and individual
6IOrGS TO carry nGO 6II6CG GQoSo r0SO-
lutiOns, and that they urge their PEG
pie at home to strike for their general
good, carrying out the spirit and pur-
pose of the same.
Ninth, we further recommend that
the address delivered by Col. D. G..
Goodwin be received and endorsed by
this association, and that the same be
published with the proceedings.
AS the reading of the resolutions had
been finished half a dozen gentleme l
rose to their feet and pandemoniunl
reigned.
After a vigorous use of the gavel,
however, the chairman recognized Mr..
Lane. of Mississippi, who moved that
the resolutions be adopted.
The motion prevailed, after which
the resolutions were taken up discus
sion seriatim. .
After a long discussion, participated
in by all the leading spirits of the con,
vention, on section four of the resolu-
tions, they were finally adopted.
At 1:3O the convention adjourned
sine die and proceeded in a body to
the office of the Memphis Appeal
Avalanche, where they were fttingly
entertained.

TO SUB-ALLIANCES WISHING TO
TRADE DIRECT WITH THE
STATE AGENT.

The State Executive Committee
recommends that each Sub-Alliance
who wishes to trade direct with the
State Business Agent, make a deposit
of a sum of money with the State Bust
ness Agent, the money to be used for
such Sub-Alliance only, and to be with
drawn by the Sub-Alliance at any time.
This will enable each Alliance at all
times to do business with State Bust
ness Agent without inconvenience to
either. Each Alliance will be entitled
to trade to the full amount of the de-
post. S. B. ALEXANDER,

after attend more to politics and see
that the affairs of this country are

that a class a secure benefits, so that
