AN ADDRESS,.

Address

State Populist Executive Committee
Meets for Consultation and Issues an
Address.
The members of the Populist State
Executive Committee and a number of
prominent citizens met in this city on
the 18th and IL b and adopted and
issued the following address:
Your committee, into whose hands
the direction of the Peoples party has
been placed, now that the storm Of
strife of the political battles of last fall
are past and the result is seen, desire
to congratulate the party on its won
derful success at the polls, and it's mar
velous achievements for good in the
legislative, executive and Judicial de-
partments OF county and State.
We have secured to the citizen the
right to cast one vote at all public cleo
ti0ns and to have that vote counted as
cast.
We have taken the public schools
out OF the hands Of partisan politicians
and restored them TO the people,
We have given the rightot local self.
government TO each county ia the
State.
We have redeemed the States educa
tional, charitable and penal institutions
from the thraldom of political bias.
We have removed the Judiciary of
the State to a safe distance from the
arena OF partisan politics.
We have lifted the State government
out Of the old ruts of BourDonism and
placed il in tho hands of the people.
BE- our endeavor these fundamental
principles and primary rights of Amer
lean citizenship have been re. essab
lished in our State, with many Others
of kindred nature which f1W there
from .
But your committee would be dere
lict in it's duty il it did not warn you
that if these blessings are to be pre-
served to us and transmitted to poster
ity, it must be done by and through

upon farms in order to raise food for
their support, the raising Of cotton 10
az much in competition with honest
labor as the manufacture of shoes.
Your Business Agency deserves your
support. Without your patronage it
cannot prosper. It's existence enables
you to buy from your local merchant
at Alliance prices for the cash. There
is no objection to this if you deal enough
with your Agency to keep it IN a Hour
ishing condition. To ensure this sup
port and your own protection, you
should consult regularly the price-list
in. u Organ, The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER Subscribe for it, and II possible
nav for it in advance.
At your two last meetings youralsed
your voice against the ninety-nlne
year lease of the N. @. Railroad. This
YOU did in the interest of honest gov
eminent in North Carolina. The mere
question of interest is Insignificant
compared with the debauchery OF your
citizens. The rate of interest paid is
deceptive, as the investment In the
building of the road was five millions
on the part of the State and private
stockholders, while only four millions
Of bonds were issued.
have been informed that between
$500, 900 and 81, 600, 900 more we're spent
on the road, thus making the road cost
at least SIS. 500, 900.
The danger to the State from that
octopus of monopoly the Southern Rail
way, is extreme. 1t already dominates
another of your great through lines,
and the S8aboard Air Line system
alone prevents your being at the mercy
of this monster. Equally disastrous to
your interests would be a monopoly OF
your transportation on the part of the
Seaboard Air Line.
The question of the lease of the N. Q
Railroad should not be looked upon as
a fight between two rival railroads. In
my opinion, the Seaboard Air Line
fears it's own absorption by the South
ern. Prevent by legislation the con
solidation under one management of
these great roads.
1t is a calamity to the State that our
railroad magnates cannot see that ex-
tortion IN their part prevents the de-
velopment of diversified industries and
their own enrichment together with
that of their patrons.
For your information in # ference to
the condition of the shoe factory and
tannery, you are respectfully referred
to the reports of the Executive Com
mittee, Manufacturing Committee and
and Business Agent.

RE U

WHEREAS, the North Carolina Far
mers State Alliance did, before it's
consumation, most earnestly protest
Rgeinst the lease Of the North Carolina
Railroad to the Southern Railway
Company for a term of 80 years
whereas the preservation of our Iber-
ties demands the recognition of the
sovereignty of the States of this Re
public, on the part of the Federal
Judiciary. Therefore be it
RetOIUed by the Farmers State ALI
nee in annual session at HiIisborc.
N. O., this the II h day of August 1897.
1. That we protest. against inter
ference in State tf4irs on the part of
the Federal Judiciary.
2. That we consider the ATTEMPTED
epjoining of the Governor of North
Carolina from the performance of his
official duty as q high handed outrage
and subversive of liberty.
8. That the thanks of this BODY arc
hereby rendered to the Governor Of
North Carolina, the Hon. Daniel L

taken on the side of the people in theil

THE STATE

The State Alliance has had G most
harmonious, business like, and orderly
meeting. At this time We are unable
to give a full report of everything
done. Be sure to read President Ora
hams address. There is food for
thought in it. The report of the COM
mittee on manufacturing also deserves
your attention. The list of newly
elected officers appears elsewhere.
Now, that the shoe factory is Don to
be started, let every member, forget
ting past difficulties and diff 7rences,
60 to work with rewed vigor to build
up the Alliance and help make the
shoe factory a success.
