paw the above balance Of the debit that
is 1882, 684, 3O3 bushels NOR than it
would in 1867.
Since 1862 to 1896, inclusive, the
government has paid out in interest
alone 60, sos, 672, $50, which means that
il the people had paid it in corn at Is
cents q bushel, las they did in labor
producing corn or other products) it
has required 10, 274, 6ss. 800 bushels to
pay this interest.
One carload is ten tons or $40 bushels
at Is cents is worth $85, and each car
is two rods long, 100 cars making Z
mile in length, which is worth $13. 800.
Consequently the amount of interest
paid, as above, in corn at 25 cents, will
give US a train load of corn over 1885,
S75 miles long, or it lie a train that will
reach over seven and a half times
around the world.
Remember, this represents only the
interest that has been paid and the
debt yet remaining (see above) will re-
quire almost exactly as much corn at
IS cents to pay it, or as many days
work IN producing anything, to pay it
as would have been required in 1862 to
have paid it all.
What has become OF this enormous
pile Of interest moneys Who has it,
Those who produced it do not have it.
We find that it will make about z, $50
millionaires and there has been about
4, 500 made in the last 80 years.
AS the still November frosts settle
down on the fields of ripened grain, the
corn grower husks his way out to the
end Of a row and stands shivering in a
fence corner while he asks neighbor on
the other side: II say, neighbor, can
you tell me how they make million
airesG'
After all this toll, sweat, saving and
self denial, the last generation goes
down into the grave, under q system
of unrighteous usury, having done
nothing but lived and worked to make
m~illionaires and btqueath to the pres
ent generation az large a debt, meas
ured in the ''sweat Of the face" as
when they commenced to pay it 80
years ago.
Can a financial system promoting a
''third use'' Of money at six, four or
two per cent. resulting in such horrible
robbery, disastrous condition and
Iamentable servitude Of the people be
rights
The statesmanO says 1t ia right, so
does the demagogue, banker, usurer,
monopolist and all thieves, and even
the court and executor of the law says,
''stand and deliver"
We must follow this corn train
further slorg in the next chapter.

this great and grand School was the
pride of Alliancemen, whose voices
were herd from the mountains to the
seashore pleading for and in support
of an educated womanhood in. the old
North State. They labored faithfully
for the establishment Of the Normal
and Industrial School. Their chief de
sire was that every girl in the State
could have the advantage of such q
school. May it's influence for good
grow until it shall be felt in every
home in the State.
The s~elf-deuials that r mode to
send daughters to this school r des
tined to ripen into golden rewards that
will brighten the sunset of the lives OF
those who make these sacrifices on the
altar of love. I wish it were possible
for every farmer in the State to &c
through this school and g its advan
taRes and possibilities. 1t makes me
sad to think of the thousands of brigh5
girls who are denied the privileges OF
an education. Education is one of the
cardinal principles of the AlliaBce-the
education OF the masses. It has ever
stood in the front ranks contendlng
for the education of the common PEG
pie. At the State meeting in Asheville,
it passed q resolution, takiUg the ad
Vanced stand of giving to the common
schools 20c. instead Of 16c. that they
were then getting. It is due to Alli-
ancemen that they now enjoy the pres
emit appropriation for school purposes.
The Alliance ever leads-never follows
in educational matters. To be a true
Allianceman means to be progressive
striving for the up-building OF cur
county and the elevation of the masses
into a higher sphere of usefulness.
There n go many inside the ALI
ance who do not know, and so many
on the outside who do not went to
know the real obj cts of the Order,
that it is misunderstood AID looked
upon with suspicion by many OF our
best people.
Brethren, it behooves US as Alliance
men to let our light shine SO az to melt
away this prejudice and let the name
Alliance be>s y anonymous with honesty,
truth and integrity.
There is work for US all to do. Let
us be up and at it.
Fraternally,

The AIliancemen of Guilford have

best interests of the Alliance and a
determination to stand by the Business
Agency. I expect to hear from them
often.

The fundamental principle of chattel
slavery consists in one class of men

mental principle of usury (~interesi) is
precisely the same thing.

no WH4r DEWEY nm.

What Dewey did at Manila Sampson
could do at Havana. Compared with
Dewey's fleet, SIMPSONS is gigantic in
proportions. Why, then, is there any
delay in bombarding Havana? 1t is
evident 10 the most casual observation
that Havana Is the center OF Spanish
power in Cuba. The downfall OF Hav-
ana would mean the end of Spanish
rule on the island, and the end of
Spanish rule in Cuba would, in all
likelihood, be the end Of the war
Why pound away at Santiago2 The
capture OF that port does not mean a
staggering blow TO Spain. Cerveras
fleet is bottled up safely enough. 1t
can do no harm where it is and it can
not escape TO do harm anywhere else.
Is it considered good thing by the
administration to prolong the war? II
1t is not considered good thing, why
prolong it by frittering away time in
front Of unimportant places?
Republicans may defend the policy
Of delay because they may see politi
cal advantage in extending the war
until after the fall elections, but those
who want Spain humb'ed and who de-
sire TO end the tremendous expense OF
war can find no excuse for further
delay.
