all the persuasions IN his power to obtain

discovery. ~ swear to you on the holy

me your discoveries will never publish

CHATHAM COUNTY MEETING.

Mr.. EDITOR The last meeting Of the
Chatham County Alliance was one Of
unusual interest. Some were present
who had not been attending the meet
ings Of tie Alliance for 70 months or
more and some Sub Alliances which
were disorganized reported that they
had come back and come to stay. The
Alliance is in better shape in Chatham
than it has been for q long time. Old
members are being reinstated and new
ones are coming in.
The following resolutions were
adopted and the Secretary instructed
to send them to THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER for publication,
WHEREAS, We have received notice
from the President Of the State Ali
ance that an effort will be made to re-
peal the law known as the Sherman
law" at the extraordinary session of
Congress, and fearing that no provision
will be made for the continued coinage
Of silver. And whereas, we believe
such action will place us ~squarely upon
a gold basis and thus bring untold
misery and oppression upon the farm
ing and debtor classes. Therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we call upon u Rep
resentative in Congress to use his in
fuence to sustain the Sherman act IN
less other laws are enacted giving us a
larger legal tender circulation, neces-
sary to the wants and demands Of the
people.
2. That we recommend that one or
0 men be appointed in each COM
munity to circulate a petition to Hon.
B. H. Bum, NJ. O., 4th district to this
end.
3. That we call upon all good citizens
who believe as we do in this matter.
regardless Of party or prejudice, to as
sist in making the petition from this
county as large as possible.
4. That we call the attention Of the
Secretary of the Treasury to the third
section of the Sherman act and we urge
him to observe this section and carry
into effect it's provision.

| dividends aggregating 45 per cent, OF
the capital stock have been paid to
stockholders during three years of the
Ccmpany's existence.
Tn view of all of the above we wish
to put upon record the fact that it gives
ia pleasure to know that the firm of
Butler, Jenking & Co. has been re-
organized, and that they will succeed
the retiring CO operative warehouse
company, re opening the house in time
for the sale of the new crop. Low
charges will still be their motto, while
prices paid Gf we may judge by the
pas0 will be as high as can be obtained
elsewhere. Therefore be it
ReS0LUed, That this firm have re-
newed pledge Of OR support and our
earnest wish for a long career of use
fulness and prosperity.
After a day most pleasantly and
probably spent, the question arose as
to where it's like could be spent next
time. Kittrell Alliance asked to be
permitted to do the honors. So it was
agreed that the October meeting be
held with the brethren there. May the
harmony which marked our session at
Dabney prevail always in all Alliance
gatherings.

Mr., EDITOR:-You say you want cor
respondents in every county who will
write facts Of value, Well, if [ am to
inform you of the condition of my
community, your sensations will NOR
tify when you read this letter. The
lumber companies have suspended
operations and hundreds of laboring
people are thrown out of employment.
Such a time has never before been
witnessed in this country. Strong men
are parading the land in search of
work. There isn't enough provisions
in the land to last the people until
something can be obtained from the
fields. A portion of the people have
enough to subsist upon, but they will
have to divide with those who have
nothing. In this dreadful state of af.
fairs the whippersnaper politicians and
Iick-sp.ttles Of the Democratic party
are trying to captivate the people by
sophistry. We r told by the servants
of plutocracy that the present silver
law is the cause of all this calamity.
What the result will be no one e
able to tell. The wisest of cur people

Mr.. EDITOR:-Since [ have been
reading THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER l
have read many pleasant and encour
aging letters from different Alliances
throughout this grand old State, but
not word have I seen from our Al
lance. Do not think that we are dead
simply because we do not trouble you
every mail with some article or other.
We are all poor and Woodworking
men, but are Of pure Alliance grit. We
are not so strong us some Alliances,
but we are there and likely to stay
there 50 long as we have such brethren
to lead us as brothers Butler, ThOmp-
son, Hoover and others, and The Pro
GREssIyE FARMER and Caucasian to
read. I believe the Farmers Alliance
to be one of the noblest institutions
ever gotten up by man, the church Of

bless the Alliance, THE PROGRESSIVE

worthy editors.

ALL CAUSED BY THE SHERMAN
LAW.

Mr.. EDITORIALS I have not seen
anything from Rock Greek Alliance,
No. 647, for sometime, I thought I
would write you about it and the vi
cinity. We are in good working trim
and have a large membership, some as
good grit as there is anywhere. We
have lost but few members on account
Of politics and we have one application
for membership. But strange things
a.e taking place. Mr.. Cleveland is
in favor Of repeating the Sherman act.
l tell you that things are getting
squalIy up here. The rats and bull
frogs have taken to catching chickens,
and worse than that, the buzzards eat
tomatoes, watermelons and cucumbers
right here in Alamance county and all
under Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
Now, Mr. Editor, I wish someone
would ask Mr.. Bilkins or his wife Betsy
to iutercede for us and ask that great
Democratic Congress to pass some law
to keep these ferocious animals and
birds from destroying cur property.
We have started for reform and must
have it, for we cannot do without it,
so Mr.. Cleveland and that much
looked-for Congress just as we'll give
it to us at this session.

WINDSOR, II. @.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Bertie County Alliance
is not dead or dying, as the politicians
tell US. Her report for last quarter is
an increase of ten per cent. The pluto
Gratis thought we were dead, but since
the Thursday meeting they have com
menced anew their denunciatiOns and
are crying out the Alliance is still try
ing to ruin the Democratic party. Our
little editor pranced out in his paper O.
few days ago advising, or rather told
the school committeeman Of the county
that they had no right to let Alliance
men hold meetings in the public school
houses. He is an expOunder of the law
that will not be sought for by the good
citizens of BERTHE county, be they ALI
ancemen or non Alliancemen. He, like
others that have passed on before him,
will soon be forgotten and his depart
ure will be hailed with as little regret
as any that have figured among us,

resolutions were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The Congress of the
United States is this day convened in

THE REFORM

KITTRELL, n. G.
Mr.. EDITOR Allow me space in
your paper to say a few words on the
reform movement. Our government
is an aristocracy, not a democracy. l
have been deeply impressed with the
fact for a good while that u govern
ment should be reformed. A democ-
racy allows the right of the people to
rule; an a~ristocracy allows the right of
the big class Of people to rule. Then
we are living under an aristocratic
government instead Of a democratic
one. 1t is time that the laboring class
of people should come together, every
one of them, and break down the
money power which has Usurped our
government.
I read an article in one Of the Demo
cratic papers, which chronicled the
sermon of a New York preacher. He
took his text about the children of
Israel giving Aaron their jewels to
make them a calf to worship. He went
on to state that the money has ruled
in all ages and is going to rule in all
ages to ONE He went on to state the
impOssibiIity Of the Iaboring class Of
people to rule this government. The
reason why the Iaboring class cannot
rule the government they won't come
together, they are afraid Of getting
hurt. And how on earth can they be
hurt more than they are hurt2 Ihave
borne the oppression so long and have
seen the bad condition Of SO many PEG
pie as I travel through the different
counties, I am ready to exclaim as an
old coIored man when his master was
whipping him: ''Massa, don't put it
all at one place; scatter it about" So
l am in favor Of a change of govern
ment, for better or for worse. If it is
for worse, scatter it about" I know
every colOred man is willing to vote
for reformation if y will only insure
them a better living. They only need
some honest man, white or cOlOred, to
eiucidate the reform movement and
you will get their votes at the next
election no mistake about that. l re-
peat it, the laboring class of people
should unite in one solid phalanx and
adjust the government. All the poor
people want is party confidence, and
they will cast their votes the right way.
l know they will. I admonish the
laboring class Of people, and especially
the colorei ones, to exercise faith in
the reform movement and vote for it.
It is for their future good.
Truly yours,
W. Il. PEACE.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The Brunswick Go.
Alliance met at Town Creek on July
18th. The day was warm but the at
tendance large. All the Subs were
represented, and the reports showed
that the Alliance is holding it's own in
Brunswick.
Bro. Hoover having been secured for
this meeting, put in an appearance and
gave us a speech of two hours and a
half, which was, to say the last, all
that we could have wished for.
The following resolution of thanks
was unanimously rendered the State
Business Agency:
Resolved, That the thanks Of Bruins
wick County Alliance be extended to
the State Business Agency Tor having
sent Bro. Hoover in response to Il re
quest and feel that we have been great
Iy benefited by his admirable address,
and the great cause of the Alliance has
been advanced and a new impetus to
future effort will Immediately follow.
The most significant feature Of the
meeting was that the Executive Com
