Mr.. EDITOR:-Highland Alliance, No.

lowing resolutions to be forwarded to
you. On account of the absence of a
committeeman it has been delayed:
WHEREAS, Through the mysterious
dispensatiOn of an all wise Providence,
our beloved National President, Col.
L. L. Polk, has been rem we'd from his
family, from u Order and from his
country to that home where misery
and want are unknown; and whereas,
we realize that no other member in our
Order has devoted his time, talents and
energies so unselfishly to the cause of
humanity or labOred so untiringly in
behalf of the producers of our nation.
even to the extent of laying down his
life IN the cause; and all nrewarded
save by the love and gratitude that to-
day SWells millions of honest hearts as
they ponder upon the martyr like I'M
selfishness of the man. Be it therefore
ReSOJUed, That while we bow in
humble submission to theunseen power
which rules all things, we most deeply
deplore the loss of our noble leader and
brother as one of the greatest calamities
the country could possibly sustain at
this time, and we extend to the sorrow
ing family and relatives u heartfelt
sympathy in their sad bereavement,
assuring them that their loss is our loss
and the nations loss, and we join with
all true patriots of justice in paying
u last tribute to one of the no6lest
men that everlived, our martyr leader,
Col. L. l. Polk.

CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH.

The following interesting statistics
were gathered by John Bright, Profes-
sor Allen and others, and will show
the enormous amount of wealth in the
hands of a few, while the great mass
of humanity is only privileged to live
upon the payment of rent and interest.
AS a single-tax argument it is invalu
able.
In France there are 300, 900 thatched
cabins without a window, l, 800, 900
with one window, and 1, 500, 600 with
two windows. Outof Z, 500, O00houses,
more than 4, 500, 600 have less than five
openings, including doors, and are
matched cottages, in which live nearly
twO-thirds of the population.
In England and Wales one hundred
persons own 4, 900, 900 acres. In Eng
land, in 1887, one thirteenth of the
people owned two thirds of the nation
al wealth.
Seventy persons w one half of
Scotland; 200 own nine-tenths, and
twelve persons own 4, 346, 900 acres.
In Ireland less than eight hundred
persons own one half the land; 402
members Of the HOuse of Lords own
IA, 24O, 012 acres, which rent for S57,-
865, $50. The total number of tenant
farmers in England, Scotland and
Wales is 1,O69, 1877, and of these Ire
land furnishes 574,252 and England

naign. that they then adjourn to meet
aa0a n ON the 10th day of August, the
anniversary of the battle of Bennlng-
! ton the first battle of the American
revolution. and that on hat day meet
ings be held in every township to col
eel funds for the national campaign,
since without funds we cannot make
the fight for reform with any nope OF
success. The people must sustain Ihls
campaign with their means as Wen as
their votes, or it may fail, ana WlGn 10
the hopes of the people for justice ana
prosperity in this and all future gener
ations. The meetings in country dls-
tricts shall be held 1t 10 o'clock a. m,
and the meetings in the villages and
cities at s o'clock p. m and all money
collected shall be at once transmitted
to M. @. Rankin, of Terre Haute, Ind,
treasurer of the national committee of
the Peoples party. And we suggest
that on the said 10Th day Of August
the people devote the day to this great
work with speeches and festivities.
And we further request that at each
of such meetings a finance committee
shall be appOin led, whose duty 1t shall
be to make a thorough canvass of the
township or precinct for contributions
And in addition to the above method
of raising money we hereby establish
four funds to be known as the Ten
Dollar Campaign Fund" the Five
Dollar Campaign Fund" the "One
Dollar Campaign Fund" and the
Fifty Cent Campaign Fund" and we
request that all friends of the cause,
who are able to do so, shall send their
names and contribution directly to
treasurer, to be published in the reform
press of their respective States; pro
vided that contributions to these funds
shall be allowed, if they desire to do so,
to pay in monthly installments.
We also urge that every speaker for
the Peoples party shall take up collec.
tions for our national campaign fund
wherever they may address the people.
We would also urge that the ladies
who are in sympathy with the Peoples
party i'll the respective States shall be
urged and requested by the reform
press to form clubs for the collection
of funds and the forwarding of
work.
The national committee of the PEG
pies party says to their friends that
there is a reasonable probability that
the party, will sweep the country and
elect their candidate for Presi lent and
Vice President if they are given means
enough to put speakers in the field and
supply the people with campaign liter
allure.
A striking evidence of the revolution
now going on is found in the fact that
a Kentucky deleg tte offered the follow
ing resolution, and it was unanimous
ly adopted:
That the Peoples party of the United
States earnestly reques5 the women o.
the country to organize at once and
help us in this contest, because we are
fighting to save not only them and our
selves, but the coming generations
from ~plutocratic slavery.

CURRITUCK COUNTY MEETING

SNOWDEN, NC
Mr.. EDITOR:-The morning Of tho
18th was as bright as any one c0uIi
wish, and I set out for Poplar Branch
the place of meeting, and after riding
30 or Is miles, arrived there about n
a. m. and met a very large crowd n
Alliance and non-Alliance people ali
expecting Col. Harry Skinner, but he
did not come, and about II o'clock the
never failing Alliance advocate Of this
county took the stand and gave us one
of them good, sound and solid Alliance
talks, Of which he is always full. Bro.
w. S. Mercer is a jewel and he will al
ways be remembered here as one Of
the strongest Alliance advocates the
county holds. He spoke for over an
hour, and I think [ could have listened
for two or three more without getting
the least impatient.
After the speaking dinner was an.
nOunCed and we all retiT ed to the table
under the shade Of some trees and par
took of the feast spread there by the
brothers and sisters of Poplar Branch.
The dinner could not be beaten, and
there was enough fol all and to spare.
Poplar Branch is to be congratulated
upon having the largest Alliance meet
ing In the county.
After all had eaten to their satisfaC.
ton the Alliancenlen were called back
in the house and the business meeting
took place. After the house was called
to order and opened in due form, We
proceeded to elect new officers, which
the Secretary will give in his repOrtO Of
che meeting. Among the other busi
ness of the meeting resolutions were
passed asking Alliancemen and all
friends of reform to withdraw their
patronage from the Economist Falcon,
of Elizabeth City, N. c., inasmuch as
it has been attacking the Alliance and
her leaders most U~ngratefuIly Of late.
After electing Bro. D w. Lindsay to
represent us in the State meeting, the
Alliance closed to meet with MOyOck
Alliance in October. | stopped over
night with Bro. w. H. Walker and he
gave me two nice watermelOnstO bring
home, the largest I have seen this
season.
This county is badly in need Of Ain,

one or two from a distance at our next
county meeting.
