nearest the beginning of all wealth,
and their opinions should be expressed
in the legislation Of the State Now
that the legislature is in session, let the
voice of the farmers be heard AS q
farmer, would say we need:
First Good will among all classes
and conditions of the people Let this
be the beginning of an era of good feel
ing-Of a better education morally,
mentally, socially and financially of
the whole people. We are all in the
same ship. We must sink or swim
together. We must survive or perish
together. Our destinies are bound to
gether. Whatever legislation we may
have, let it be for the whole people and
not for party.
Second. We need an honest election
law. A dishonest election is a public
endorsement of dishonesty, and like a
fatal disease, it parvades and spreads
everywhere until the people are led to
disregard all law end become a law
unto themselves. Dishonest elections
unsettle YES ed rights and are the first
steps towar anarchy. The legislature
cannot do better thing than put an
honest election law upon Our statutes
We cannot afford olive without it, Let
US have an honest election law and
then give us the right of local self
gOvornment-the right te elect county
commissioners. This is true demOc-
racy, it is true republicanism. Any
thing less than this or short of this
tends either TO despOtism or anarchy
Third. Let us have a just distribu
tiOn of the burdens of taxation. We
have reached the age of capitalistic
production, but that production pays
comparatively no taxes. The Dukes,
the Carrs and the HOlCs have lowered
in capitalistic wealth because that
wealth has not had it's just share Of
State and county taxation. The rail
roads and the merchants have raked
and scraped the last dollar from the
earnings of the people year after year,
but no part of those streams of wealth
go to aid in bearing the burdens of
State and county taxation. I would
say, if capitalistic productions were
made to bear all the burdens of State
and county taxes it would be but a
poor return for the depletion which it
makes in the pockets of the people.
The railroad, the factories, the mer
chants, the banks and the salaried men
of the country could bear all the bur
dens of taxation and let the homes of
the people go free gnd serve as nurser
les of population. An income tax on
gross incomes will meet the case, and
it will be fair aud just. Five per cent
on all gross incomes will raise more
revenue than the State and counties
need. CHATHAM

THE oVERPRODUCTION THEORY.

Mr. EDITOR: Now that the election
is over and the politicians have got a
chance. to do something, they are so
mad that they forget what they have
said and think the people will forget,
too, but it is not so; they will be
haunted by the spectres they have con
iured. Yet truth crushed to the earth
will rise again. The eternal years of
God are hers They told US it was
overproduction and the sharp compe-
tItion with the half savages OF India
that was the cause of the low price of
cotton. Now what is the fact? Qiars
they say, should have long memories }
1t was said by the knowing ones that
India exported 8 1000, 600 bales of cot
ton Fshere did they get it? | read
in these same papers now the area
sOwn in cotton in India in 1892 is re
ported at 617, 900 acres which is the
annual average area though it was
273, 900 acres more than 1891. The crop
everywhere was reported good. Now
where is the 3. 900 900 bales for export
when there is less than 1 900, 600 acres
planted2 And there is another draw
back. In India there are 13O cotton
mills with 3, 400, 900 spindles and 25, 600
looms which employ 116, 900 persons.
Where does these mills get their cotton
to manufacture if they export 3, 1000, 600
bales! Do they import it from Amer
lea? Echo answers where? Much for
the Annanias club to discuss.

THE MOORE COUNTY ALLIANCE
HAD A GOOD MEETING.
VILLANOW, II. O.

Mr. EDIIOR Our County Alliance
met on Jan. 18Th and held its regular
quarterly meeting at this place. There
was a. good attendance. Although
mother earth was clothed in a garb of
heavenly manufac cure it did not deter
our delegates from attending. Many
ladies were also present. One interest
ing feature of our Sub-AllianCe at this
place is our glee club composed of the
young members Of the Order This
glee club made itself useful and gave
the County Alliance some of the finest
vocal music it has been our pleasure to
listen to in long while Hope every
club in the State will soon have a glee
club as a necessary attachment. Our
Alliance has also taken the necessary
steps to start circulating library and
has made an appropriation for that pur
pose. We intend to fill it with choice
reform literature. Any donation for
that purpose from any quarter Will be
duly acknowledged and appreciated.
Our County Alliance passed a resolu
ton condemning the act passed in the
legislature to establish State banks of
issue. Steps were taken to build up the
Alliance in waste places, and the Order
starts out on the new year with re
newed energy and determination. If
the would-be plutocrats who said after
the election that cur Alliance was dead
had been here he would have thought
that q right lively resurrection was TAX
ing place. think he had better secure
the left hind leg of a graveyard rabbit
to give him better luck as a prophet.
This body voted so out of the treasury
to Bro. Butler on account of his recent
loss, to assist in setting the Caucasian
on foot again.
Never give old Moore out; she is go
ing to "pad die her own canoe"

A CIRCULAR LETTER.
by Warren County Alliance and
Ordered Published.

WARRENTON, n. O.
Mr.. EDITOR The undersigned were
appointed a committee to draft the fol
lowing circular letter, and on behalf of
the County Alliance respectfully ask
that you publish the same:
TO ALLlANCEMEN OF WARREN COUNTY.
DEAR BRETHREN After a year of
excitement and turmoil caused by the
recent campaign, we come together as
Alliancemen aud brethren to take into
consideration those things which will
elevate our thoughts and improve our
condition mentally, morally, socially
and financially.
After receiving reports from the Sub
Alliances represented we feel that we
had cause for cOngratulatiOn and that
we were more united now than ever
befOre-a unit it word and in action.
We realize that the struggle through
which we have just gone has been one
calculated to break down our noble
Order and estrange us as brethren.
But in the beginning Of this new year
our faces are still towards the rising
sun and our motto equal rights to all
ana special privileges to none" We
feel that in things essential we are q
unit and that in eli things we have
charity.
AS Alliancemen and IabOrers we be.
lieve that the outlook for more pres
porous times 0rightens each day that
we remain organized and show a resO-
lutte and determined front to the enemy,
and the purpose of this circular letter
is to encourage the strong and sustain
those of our brethren who see no hope
Of the future.
it is our earnest desire that you lay
aside all strife or internal dissensiOns,
If any, and come together as men hav
ing 4 common aim, q common purpose
that of saving our COuntry from the
hands of those whose only purpose Is
to Oppress the labOrers and producers
in order to squeeze their daily bread
their hard earned dollar into their
usuriOus hands These and other i'm
portant evidences cause us to believe
THAT our only hope and the salvation CT
our Republic depends upon our main
tanning our organization and acting as
unit In thought.
United, relief will come; divided, we
must hope for the worst.
Acting as q committee for the
County Alliance we extend to you ira
Cernal greetings and best wishes for
prosperous new year, and urge upon
you the Importance of the Alliance In
all It's branches as an upbuilder and re
eCoieF OF prosperity and fraternat feel
ing 10 our country.
ASKING that you accept this In the
Lraternal spirit in which it is sent and
urging, you to build up the waste
places" we are

EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Farmers, send your SONS and daugh-

Tt is believed that the rise in the
price of pork will also enhance the
value Of other meats, such as beef and
mutton.

proceedings of Congress and State

The Iowa Agricultural College didn't
have a single student in the course in
agriculture two years ago. Now 81
are taking that course. That means
more and better farmers.
With the present coinage laws re
pealed, and without the free coinage of
silver, the farmers would be at the
mercy OF the goldbugs beyond a doubt
so far as prices of farm products are
concerned. No farmer can afford to
be against free coinage,
The exchange men are adopting des
perate methods to prevent the passage
of the anti option bill. That alone is
proof that If will ha q o00d thine fo,,
the farmers. Hardly a farmer in the
country would allow thief to carry
of a bale of cotton or load of grain
right before his eyes, yet all of them
are allowing cotton and grain ex
changes to do SO every day, Why not

you and ask your readers if they know
anything in regard to a bush or plant
called "Yupon." This may not be the
correct name but they say it was known
by that name around Asheville several
years ago. 1t is an evergreen, and the
leaves were usually gathered in Feb,

THE LEGISLATURE CRITICISED.

MADISON Co., N. 9.
MR. EDITOR Some time since saw
statement in the papers that a motion
had been made in the legislature to ap-
propriate five hundred dollars to defray
the expenses of the Inauguration of the
Governor; and in a late paper I see
that four hundred dollars was devoted
to pay the expenses of the inauguration
ball. Whose money was this? Was
it not fieeced off Of the people in the
form of taxes2 Is such the kind of
service to be expected from men
selected to make our laws and protect
our rights and interests2 The members
Of the legislature that voted the ap
preparation ought to be compelled to
cover it back into the treasury. Now
all this comes from the party of re
form reform! And this is q specimen.
The people are groani1g under burdens
too grievous to be borne; burdens of
poverty superinduced by bad legisla
tion, by the rapacity Of the money
grabbers; burdens of taxation; burdens
of tariff; burdens of depreciation Of
the price Of labor and it's products;
and yet one of the first lessons in this
bOasted reform is an insult to every
tax payer in the State. Is there no
remedy? Are the people to be oppressed
and insulted at the option of a set of
men who call themGelves
the servants of the people and yet the
people are left helpless7 There ought
to be such safeguards thrown around

LESS COTTON.
Resolutions Passed by Union County
Alliance.

WHEREAS, Reform by State and es
pecially national legislation must
necessarily come very slowly, requir-
ing number of years to accom- plish :;
and whereas, the present prices Of cot,
ton prove most cOnclusively that the
cotton producers can and will realize
as much or more net profits from an
average crop of cotton than from an
enormous one; and where, by m 4intain-
ing the present acreage or making
still further reductions and CORE
spending increase in the acreage of
other crops, the present depressed con
ditiOn of the farmers and farm laborers
of the cotton States may, in a great
measure, be relieved and eventually
become masters of the situation, as it
were, provided the crop Of 1898 does
not exceed seven million bales. There
fore be it
Resolved, by the Union County AL
lance in regular meeting assembled,
Jan. 18th, 1898, that all Alliancemen,
farmers and farm labOrers throughout
the cotton growing States be requested
to give their most earnest and serious
consideration to this matter before
they pitch their crops for the year 1898
and decide whether it would be a sui
cidal policy to increase the next crop
to enormous proportions and thereby
glut the markets of the world and be
compelled to accept prices far below
the actual cost of production.
ID. That copy of these resolutions
be sent to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
Monroe Enquirer and Our Home for
publication and that all papers friend
ly to the best interests of the cotton
States be requested to copy.

protection against such imposition.
The Legislature is authorized to make
such appropriations as the public exi
gencies demand, and the public service
requires, but when such lawlessn ass is
prac cticed, every legislator supporting
such a measure ought to be liable to
impeachment, and upon conviction be
