THEY r

Mr.. J, R Grant, of San Diego, Cal
a son of ex President Grant, has just
published a letter announcing his in
tention of supporting the Peoples
party in the future. Mr. Grant is not
a politician, but is a we'll to do business
man. After giving his reasons for his
action he closes the letter as follows:
THE platform of the Peoples party
has, on the contrary, no Objectionable
features, and seems to offer a political
home that an American can proudly
enter"
RW Those who have been trying to
betray the Peoples party, car get an
other pointer from the above interest
ing news. That party can't be 'deliv-
cred" and it is growing so rapidly, add
ing the very best blood and brains to
its ranks, that old, foxy, political heads
r swimming day and night.

WHY !

Why you should join the Alliance.
Because it is fraternal and promotes
friendship and the highest degree of
brotherly love.
Because it is social; bringing neigh
bors together, thus creating a kindly
social feeling.
Because OF its high moral character;
under it's benign influence all evil is
relegated into the back ground and
only that which is good is preserved.
Because it is educational; teaching
the principles of government in the
home and the nation, thereby exalting
the principles of truth, justice and lib
erty to the highest degree attainable.
Because of it's business feature ;
whereby all can and do learn the prin
ciples Of co operation and thus learn to
become independent of the voracious
trusts, corporations, and middle men,
who, owing tOa lack of business knowl-
edge, on the part of the consumers are
bleeding the American people with a
leech-like tenacity, thus impoverishing
them, destroying their independence
and converting them into a nation of
poor slaves.-Pa Alliance Advocate.

REAPING AS WE sowED.

Day by day, as failures occur and
stocks go down, it is a favorite thing
for the gold men to attribute these
events to free silver" and tell us this
is what it means. Wait until free silver
comes and then judge it by its works,
but In the meantime, our dear gold
standard friends, take your medicine.
You are not experiencing the effects of
the coming of free silver, but are expe-
riencing the legitimate and inevitable
effect of parting with it in 1873. The
hurt to silver, though $50, 600, 900 a
year, is but the ''fy on the wheel"
When silver was thrown out of it's
work as money, turned into a commod
ity and reduced in price year by year
by a constantly increasing and appre.
ciatiug gold standard, every other
product and commodity was broken
with it.
The whole base upon which all the
securities that Wall street deals in and
billions more that do not come to Wall
street at all has been undermined and
crumbled by loss of products on pro-
duction, by low prices brought on year
by year by the growing STANDARD of
value' that in 1873 was substituted for
our monetary unit of silver. We have
sown low prices in the foundation and
are reaping them in the superstructure.
We are getting, not the coming of sill
yer, but the legitimate ending in fail
ure of the gold policy. 1t has run US
to the limit in our basic operations,
and now the enormous and towering
structure of debt built upon labor, now
proftless labor, is feeling the effect of
weakened foundations; that is all.

EVERYBODY sREs 1T EXCEPT

Ii Hung Chang, the able and observ-
ant Prime Minister of China, now trav-
cling through this country, mentions
in more than one interview as n of
the unaccountable things among US
the very high salaries allotted to them
selves by railroad presidents, ''often
exceeding" as he says, 1.-The salary of
the President of the United States, and
on an average ten times the sum the
people will allow themselves to be taxed
for the salary of the Governor of their
State" He also notes that not content
with one high salaried president, the
syndicates generally have half a dozen
assistant presidents with high salaries
and palace cars, all living out of rail-
road charges paid by the public, who
submit to it all when by legislation
they have the power to correct it.
And now another traveller. Sam
Small, the well known evangelist, in a
late address at Alexandria, declared
that SO, 994 railroad men we're thrown
out of employment in 1894 in order that

factories piling up products or shutting
down or selling at cost and a little I'm
der in order to prevent deterioration
of machinery by idleness, the disor-
g~anizating of working force, and, worst
of all, the loss of channels of trade
built up during many years and now
the most valuable part of their capital,
are all experiencing what the gold
policy has done for them, and by and
by they will attribute their troubles to
tho rue cause. When they do, there
will be a heavy reckoning.
When silver comes, rising prices will
set in, and slowly and surely we shall
get back to prcf15 for production, good

railroad presidents and officials might
get high priced salaries, and to use
money in lobbying. He recited several
cases where the salaries of the presi-
dents had been increased, while those
of conductors, engineers and fzemen
had been decreased"
The same matters were also very
plainly presented a while back by
Judge Walter Clark in an article in
these columns and indeed the facts are
easily accessible. By the way, is it an
accident or not, that few papers out
side the reform press ever venture to
call this matter to public attention, or
even copy it when stated by others7

GOLD ITEM.

Albert Bartle, of Usage, Iowa, is
spending a few days in the city closing
some business matters relating to an
estate of which he is administrator.
MI. Bartle is an old Alliance organ
izer, and naturally enough, q Populist.
His business experience here does not
weaken his faith at all, and he met
several gold basis conundrums. He
has some wheat stored-stored since
last fall. The storage charge is Sc. and
he is offered 3Oc. for the wheat. He
has some barley with SC. storage
charges against it. The best offer he
can get is 1Oc., leaving DC. a bushel for
the barley. He has referred this mat
ter to the immigration committee, for

INTERESTING

On last Fridvy night the Lecturer of
the L L Polk Alliance, at the A. & M
College, gave out the following ques
ton for discussion: Has the Alliance
been beneficial to the membership and
the country at large2" All the mem
bers present had something to say and
the conCeHsus OF opinion vas that the
Alliance had been very beneficial, and
the meeting was the best one that has
been held for some time. PROFOUND the
above question at your next meet
ing and see how quickly the
members will take 1t up and
bring about an interesting dis
cussion. Similar questions relating to
Alliance and agricultural matters gen
orally, will be introduced at future meet
ings of the L. L. Polk Alliance, and
will be published in this paper.

IS THERE ANY RELIEF FOR THE
PEOPLE2

In his late opinion refusing the South
ern Railway C0mpany's application to
restrain the Seabosrd Railroad Com
pany from reducing rates, even Judge
Simonton, who has always been
deemed especially friendly to corpora
items, was constrained to use the fol
lowing significant language:
Ownership in railroads differs from
that in every other species of property.
4 railroad ia, as it were, public prop
erty and, as its first duty is to the pub
lie the owners can refuse no n and
the charges must be always uniform.
In no case can they go beyond what is
Just and reasonable, and in the last re-
sort, the State or Federal courts de-
termine what charges r reasonable. "
Are rates reas enable which enable
railroads to pay 500, 900, $50, 900,
$25, 900 and $40, 900 salaries to half a
dozen or more presidents and vice
presidents and numerous other high
officials and furnish each with a pal
ace car and staff of servants2 Are
rates reasonable which remain as high
as they were when cotton was Is cents
per pound, corn 81 Is and 81 so per
bushel?
Can not our R abroad Commissions do
at least as well by the people as the
S3aboard Air Line and reduce all rail
road charges in this State 33b per cent.
Now is the time the people should be
considering this matter before they
elect men to represent them in the next
Congress and legislature.

North Carolina is an agricultural
State. No doubt about that. But she
is more. She is a cotton manufacture
ing State.
In North Carolina there are ia cot
ton mills. In addition there are one
silk mill, eight wooden, fifteen hosiery,
one calico, three knitted underwear,
one net and Irvine, four bag, two cord
age. Four bleacheries are located in
the State, where four years ego all
goods had to be sent North to be
bleached In the year 1895, there were
fifty mills that put in new machinery
in the place Of the old. The largest
factories are the Rocky Mount mills,
Is 900 spindles, NJ looms; O iell Man

This includes plug, smoking, snuff,
cigars and cigarettes. Then we have
a great trucking business, fisheries,
lumber, fruit, oysters and mines of
every kind. But there is a great lack
of circulating medium here and else
where, and that is causing many of
our industries to la1guish.
