FOOLS IN POLITICS.

Mr.. EDITOR R:-Uncle Jim came home
to dinner to-day and l should say he
was hot You see, Uncle Jim has not
been doing much business lately. hence
has much time to read. Several of his
old customers that he has lately refused
credit have kindly left him some
marked copies of their papers. Uncle
Jim knows these papers are just pub
lished for the farmers, for I've heard
him say so. What I can't understand
Is, why he gets so terri oily worked up
about nothing, Uncle Jim talked
something after this fashion: There
are a lot of fools that have got to dab
bling i'll politics that don't know the
first principles of business, government
or religion. A2G just here let ne tx
plain. Uncle Jim sometimes use5 the
word government" to mean the bond
holders and mOneyed men and some
times be don't mean the bond holders
and mOneyed men, but exactly what
he does mean | never have been able
to find out would ask him to explain
out l have noticed when some Of the
aforementioned farmers interrupt
him anC ask him to explain what he
means, etc he becomes enraged and
hence wait until ketch the pint my
self. When Uncle Jim got through I
said: Then you said something. Sez
he: The preachers that prosper most
are those that steer clear of all doc
trInal piatS and teach some of the

MR. EDITOR:-I was directed by Gull

be deeper interest manifested, less

CABARRUs COUNTY MEETING.

J L LANE
CABARRUs COUNTY MEETING.
The Cabarrus County Alliance, in
session at Mt. Gilead, feel called upon
to make a statement regarding the &C
tion Of our State legislature with ref
erence to the Alliance charter. A bill
having been previously determined
upon in caucus by which our charter
should be repealed was brought into
the House. This bill was given no hear
ing before g com mmittee; no debate was
allowed upon it, and it passed it's third
reading in q few minutes This legis-
Iation was going on not only without
the desire Of Alliancemen Of the State.
but without their knowledge The bill
affected more people than any other
brought before the legislature, and was
decided upon in secret caucus, barring
all discussion. The bill was sent to the
Senate, and no doubt would have been
rushed through that body at once had
not our State President and other
friends demanded q hearing. This
they did not want to grant and said
the bill would pass as it was. They re
fused to give any reason except that
some were afraid they might be re
sp0nsible for the debts Of the Alliance
and some wanted their money from
the Business Agency fund, and yet
they could not or would not give any
names Of persons seeking such lesisla-
tjou
Amendments were offered by the
Officers of the State Alliance covering
all that was asked for. This should
have been satisfactory, but it was not
to those who would destroy our organi-
zation. They added amendments in
furious in their nature, having nothing
to do with the ends they profossed to
seek They have added amendments
which put our Business Agency and all
connected Y it'll it in jeopardy, and that
for no other reason but that they hated
the Alliance They would not have
dared to do the same with a moneyed
corporation. This act treats with con-
tempt every farmer in the State, the
audacity of which may be seen in the
fact that ours is principally an agricul-
tural State. 1t says to the farmers,
you are not worthy the respect shown
to railroad or any other organiza-
ton" We blush to say this was the
act of a North Carolina legislature
Therefore be it
ResOLUed, That this County Alliance
denounce this act of our recent legisla-
ture as the basest piece of legislation
ever enacted upon the soil of free
America and the most wicked force
bill that ever disgraced the statute
books of our State or national records,
and that we will consider ourselves un-
worthy the name of freemen and sires
who framed the Mecklenburg Declara-
ton of Independence, if we did not
enter this our protest now. In this de-
nunciation we call upon all who love
freedom to join, that we may wipe off
this reprOach to our State.
