FARMERS ALLIANCE in SESSION
Resolutions Passed DenouncinE the
Issue of Bonds.

Issue OF Bonds.
The Supreme Council of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
met in annual convention at Raleigh, n.
c., Tuesday. The hall in which the meet
ings are held showed. among other fea-
lures of interest, n large picture of l.. L..
Polk, the first president of the organiza-
ton, and under whose leadership it made
its greatest progress and eXertcd its great
est influence.
United States Scnator-elect Marion
Butler, president of the National Ali.
ancc, called the council to order and pre-
scented Mayor Badger, who delivered tho
address of welcome. The Mayor. in his
remarks. referred to efforts of u malig-
nant character to create prejudice be-
tween the laborers of the city and the la
borers of the country, md hoped that the
influence of the alliance might be direct
ed toward n cessation of all such schemes.
President Mowborne. of the North Caro-
lima State Alliance, welcomed the council
on behalf of the State. Responses were
made by III. l.. Loucks, of South Dakota,
eN-president of the organization, and /.
%. Dean, of New York.
AT the evening meeting of the council
the following resolutions on the currency
question were adopted:
"Whereas, 1t is currently reported that
another bond issue has been determined
upon by the President; and
"Whereas. In our opinion existing stat.
ute laws do not authorize such issue,
neither do present emergencies require
it; and
"Whcreas, The power is now reposed
in the general government to meet such
pressing contingencies by tho plain terms
of existing laws; therefore,
Resolved, That this national council
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union. in regular annual session Assem-.
bled, enter our solemn and most earnest
protest against such issue.
"Resolved, That instead, the admins.
tration be urged to employ the option al
lowed by law and pay out silver as we'll
as gold when coin is demanded for the
treasury notes.
"Resolved, That il this does not end
the present emergency. the government
be requested to issue non-interest bearing
full legal tender treasury notes."

Switzerland and France. There are
many forts along the lines of the diff.
ferent countries in the interior of the
land with their long runged cannons
facing the enemies country
Germany as a manufacturing coun-
try has grown to be of Importance.
Along the different streams connect
ed with railroads in little villages
where labor can be had factories are
running, and the people are prosper
ing. No admittance for strangers to
those places; we tried several times
but were refused. As to business,
merchants complain in their line of
not being very prospering; they do
not carry as large a stock in general
as our merchants, but sell on smaller
margin. Farmers are complaining
of low markets for their products,
but they all-merchants, farmers, me-
chanics, laborer, journalist, artist,
lawyer, musician and other trades,
live and have a dollar left to enjoy
himself in his way. ! must say that
the people are more contented and
not so ambitious or greedy in their
business or work; person can OBJ
serve the difference in the country as
well as in the cities. The city of New
York beats all in hustling throng and
push. As to our fare and treatment
on ship | must say that the Hamburg
line is in every respect as good as can
be had; there can't be any better.
After arriving in New York we were
taken to the custom house and in
spite of our honest and pleasant faces
our baggage was examined, even our
Overcoat pockets were ransacked,
but as we are no smugglers, we were
allowed to proceed on our journey
home; as we wasn't homesick vet we
stayed in the city and took in all the
sights, but having seen so much in
the old country, we didn't appreciate
the wonders and greatness of our own
country as we would have done 9TH
erwise. We left New York in the
evening and arrived at Buffalo in the
morning, from there we took the train
TO Niagara and after refreshing our
selves we went to the Falls, which is
the greatest wonder OF all we saw.
We crossed to the Canada side and
went down to the whirlpool and re-
turned satisfied to Buffalo. In all
our travels we didn't find people so
intruding and insisting on
US to buy Of them or 60 to their no.
tels. 1t was disgusting, but as we
were hardened, it made no effect and
we got away without being fleeced,
and landed in the city of Napoleon in
little Henry county, the best county
in America for farmers, with consid-
erable experience but less money, and
glad to be at home once more. The
old saying, there is no place like
home, is our motto.
Respectfully,
J. G. GROLL.
