aaen~e-synopsis of His speech
(Our HoFns.D
We had the pleasure of hearing
the address of Hon. Marion Butler,
at Rockingham, last Thursday. He
spoke about an hour and half on
the object and mission of the ALI
ance movement and the necessity of
organization and corporation. At
ter congratulating the town people
for their presence he began IN his
usual earnest and torcible manner TO
show the imperative necessity for or
ganization. He spoke of this as dis
sinctly an age of cooperation. If
she time has not come for farmers TO
organize, will come one please tell
US when TO begin? Farmers should
organize in order that they may
come in contact with each other and
exchange opinions and thereby get
the benefits of each others expert
ments. He also showed that great
benefits should come from social in
tercourse and thus result in improve
ment socially. Working and max
lug produce not the only things nee
essary to prosperity. Government is
necessary to see that even handed
Justice is done TO all classes. He
asked if this is being done now, OF
fering ten minutes or even half an
hour to any one who would answer
Admitting then that justice is not
being done, whose duty is it to Sc,
that the Government is properly al
ministered ?
Here he made sarcastic allusior
to the charge that the Alliance hao
"shot right into the Third party.
Business men have already found ou'
that the way to get what they wan
is to vote for it. Some Alliancemer
voted with the Democratic party ant
some with the Peoples party, eacf
conscientiously believing that he wa
right. If your information wa
wrong your conscience led you wrong
for the conscience is governed by thu
intellect. A man who will read bu
one side of a question is blind ant
don't want to see the truth. He re
peated the charge, and challenged
contradiction, that the Associated
Press dispatches were framed by ant
under direct supervision of the mon
ey power. Plutocracy holds the av
enues of intelligence, hence pervert
the minds of the people. The none,
power knew that they could neve
bind the people in industrial SLAYER,
until they first bound them in intel
Iecual bondage. We have commenced
and it's tremendous battle, but W
are not going to stop. The fight il
in the interest of truth. No politi
cal party is going to do anything TO
any class unless they are compelle'
to lit; therefore, perpetual organi
zation is necessary. Politicians worl
out of fear. Organization is needles
to make them fear. Stay organized
and be able to bring such pressur
to bear that law makers dare not re
sist it. Farmers and merchant
shonld make bargain that if tn
party in power gives us equal justic
it shall receive our joint endorsement
and vice versa. Why are you not a
mad now as before the election? Di'
you work yourself up into such
fury? No, it was the men who max
politics business. The country j
} getting in bad fix when difference
in politics cannot be tolerated. Sa
: to look upon neighbors fighting eac
other and all because politicians hav
made a fool of them.
After reviewing the present situs
ton the speaker continued: l COZ
slider this the brightest day in til
history of our country for populs
government. (Applause.) The line
have been drawn and the issues fai
ly discussed. The election of tt
Democratic party is the most fort1
nate thing that ever happened.
they do not give what they promise
J the people will know why. To- s
l the people are nearer justice tina
: at any time since Thos. Jefferse
: and old Jackson were la
D down in their graves. (Applause
: All true men should lay aside bitt
e feeling and do justice to the par
u that does justice to us.
: We cannot do Mr.. Butler justi
/ in attending to give even syno
J sis of his speech. We hope to ha
q him ere long to address the peor
e of Union and Arson counties.
