HEAD OF PUNGO, N. @.
Mr. EDIToR:-The 18th duy of Sep
TENDER was a gala day for the Alliance
at Pantego. Despite the watery clouds
that hung over early in the morning
and every other indication that rain
would come in no small quantity, by
II o'clock a respectable assemblage had
c~ongregated in the village to meet the
doctor. Pantego, like other munich
palities that have heretofore been sub
iected to the influences of plutocratic
proclivities, is now undergoing in no
small degree the baneful effects of class
legislation.
| shall not attempt a synopsis of the
doctors speech. Suffice to say it was
eloquent, logical, pathetic and Unre-
futable. For two hours and forty min
utes he held his audience s%pellbound
with a train of philosophical reasoning
that could be broken only by their APP
prevail of his correctness. His audience
was composed principally of straight
Democrats who, four months ago,
could not have been induced to listen
to a reform speech. Let no one be de
ceived; a better day is dawning, it's
glimmering rays are breaking owe the
battlements of prejudice and supersti-
ton and the time is not far distant
when the people Of this community
will marshall their forces in one solid
phalanx against plutocracy and its de-
.structive agencies.
Bro. Thompson's visit to our section
will be long remembered.

WHEAT, COTTON AND SILVER.

Farmers and planters should under
stand, if the present silver law is re
pealed and the price of silver thereby
forced down, as 1t would be, that wheat
and cotton will go down with it. The
reason is plain. An ounce Of silver,
which will make q rupees, will buy
a bushel of wheat in India and pay
freight ON it to Liverpool. Therefore,
unless the American wheat grower will
deliver a bUshel of wheat in Liverpool
for the value Of an ounce Of silver, the
Liverpool merchant will go to India
for his wheat.
The value of an ounce of silver is
now 84 cents; hence a bushel of wheat
is worth, at most, 81 cents in Liver
pool. Deduct from this price the cost
of transportation, commissions and
profits and you have the price of wheat
in Chicago, which is 1t present about
66 cents.
If silver bullion goes to 70 cents, as
a consequence of the repeal of the So
called Sherman law, as it probably
would, an ounce will still make D
rupees and would still pay for a bushel
of wheat from India. AS long as India
can furnish a supply, that will control
the price here, and wheat will fall to
from SO to 35 cents in Chicago. and
correspondingly every where else.
In like matter, an ounce Of silver
will buy ten pounds Of cotton in India
and, therefore, the American planter
must deliver ten pounds of cotton in
Liverpool at the price Of an ounce Of
silver bullion. If silver falls to 70

peace, sweet peace. Show me a true
AIlianceman and I will show you one
whose heart is liberal, whose hands
are willing to help falling humanity.
The political situation of our country
was discussed by J. H. Evans Bro.
Evans claimed that the political part
of our country was a burning shame;
that we were taxed to keep up national
dances, State dances AMI county
dances, national whiskey drinking,
national horse races and gambling of
every deserts ton; and all these vices
are a shame upon religion, upon soci-
ETY. and the e~nslavjng of q once happy
people.
Our County President, Bro. J. M.
Early, was present and held us spell
bound for one hour. Any Alliance will
do well to have Bro. Early talk to
them.
There were some straits present but
they did not wish to divide time.
I will close by saying I would advise
all Alliances to have an open meeting
every six months.
Yours in the war till death,

cents, 10 pounds of cotton must be laid
down in Liverpool for 70 cents, which
will make it lower in this country than
ever before.
A vote, therefore, to repeal the Sher
man silver law is a vote to lower the
price of silver, and along with it direct
ly the price of wheat and cotton, and
indirectly of everything else.

AN ALLIANC DISCUSSION.
HEXLENA, N. c..

HEXLENA, N. 4.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Hexlena Alliance, in
her independence, though few in num-
Der, saw fit to open her doors and in
vite all, saint and sinner, friend and
foe, to the Alliance in open discussion
upon the following subjects:
1st. The Alliance, its principles and
demands.
I'd. The benefits of the Alliance in
the past, and it's hope in the future.
81. The political situation of our
country.
The first subject was discussed by
Bro. W. A. Jenkins, who was appointed
to address the assembly upon this sub
ject. He is a young member, but his
speech showed his love for the order
and it's principles and demands. He
claimed that the principles were rich
in precept and religious in example.
It's demands were Democratic and
when they are made into law, we will
have a government Of the people, for
the people and by the people.
The second subject was discussed by
your humble wriaer. 1t was his first
speech and he had it written, and that
is why l was ordered to send it to you
for publication.
The first benefit was the breaking of
the jute bagging trust, and instead of
the farmers having to pay 81 %, they
now have to pay no more than "a cents
per bale, a saving of one half
Second benefit. On 400 sewing ma
chimes that are rather to be chosen
than the improved New Home or the
improved Singer. Those who bought
them saved the nice little sum Of
81, 900.
Third benefit was the prices in guano.
When the Alliance was formed the
commercial fertilizers that the analysis
ranged from SIC to $50 sold from $35 to
$45. Now the ingredients are 81 higher,
yet we buy as good as is on the market
for $21, a saving to the farmers who
bought through the State Agent last
year $144, 277, according to prices of
six years ago for the same grade of
guanO.
Fourth benefit is the cut made in
StOnewall cotton plows. Two of my
members sent to the Sta egAgent and
bought a cotton plow for 50, all told.
They could not buy them in this com,
munity for lees than So, a saving of so
per cent. and all other agricultural i'm
plements in proportion.
These and many other benefits have
been derived by the establishment of
the Alliance in this State by it having
a State Agency, yet men who claimed
to have hearts and were the represen-
tative men Of this State, wanted to put
some unhoIy hands on that fund and
destroy the money benefits we were
getting through the Agency.
It has proven the greatest of benefits
along educational lines and along social
lines. 1t was the first organization

caused by the so-called civil war. tits

strife in its bonds. 1t is the brother
