The watchword with every
member should be aggression. The facts
of the times demand it, and anyone that
doubts it shows this information is one¬
sided.

At Griffin,Oa.,the farmers’
cotton seed oil and fertilizer factory have
been enlarged and the operations they
considerably extended over what
were last season.

The Alliance Farmer (Selman, Fla..,)
says: “We re-assert that when a man
loves either of the old political parties
better than the Alliance, he is not an Al-
liancemaK at all, but an imposition that is
sure to injure the Order when its day of
trial comes.”

Alliance business exchanges are multi¬
plying in Florida. The Jacksonville
Tribune states that the Zolfo Farmers’ Al¬
liance Exchange, of Zolfo Springs, De-
Soto county, has filed articles of incorpo¬
ration with the Secretary of State. It
has a capital stock of $10,000.

The Maryland State Alliance convened
at Baltimore last week, with twelve
County Alliances and subs from three
other counties represented. A harmoni¬

most important business being the adop¬

closely after that of South Carolina.

The late dispatches announce that the
Fanners’ Alliance, in Michigan, has nom¬
inated a full ticket for governor, cabinet
officers and justices of the supreme court.
It was the result of a failure of either
of the old parties to recognize the
Alliance demands. The outcome of this
movement will be waited with intense
anxiety.

The Alliance brotherhood is imitating
capital just now. There is a strong dis¬
position to demand a collateral in the
way of a reason, with each assertion by
the politicians and editors, that the sub-
treasury bill is unconstitutional, imprac¬
ticable, or impossible. It is odd how
little reason is offered as collateral for
very much assertion .—Nutional Economist.

The agitation of a small number of dis-
organizers in Missouri is effectually ended
by the action of the State Union at Seda-
lia iu the passage, by an overwhelming
majority, of a resolution instructing the
to rule farmers’ that the body and belongs to
Natiouat Alliance Indus¬

down dissension whenever the people continues are
allowed to speak, and fraternity

Mechanicsburg Alliance No. 1073,
Yazoo county, Miss., sends a vote of
thanks to the National Legislative Com¬
mittee “for the able and efficient manner
in which they presented and the for sub-treasury opposing
plan before Congress,
the unjust and discriminating legislation
which has been enacted by Congress det¬
rimental to both labor and agriculture,
and in the interest of capitalistic com¬
bines and powerful corporations.”

Delegates from nineteen County Alli¬
ances met recently at Charleston, and
were organized into a State Alliance by
President Barbee, of Virginia, aided by
National Secretary Turner. The progress
of the order in that State has been most
satisfactory, there being already 250 sub-
Allianees, with a membership of 15,000.
The work will now doubtless be contin¬
ued with accelerated speed, and it is safe
to predict that nearly or quite all the
fifty-four counties will be represented hence. at

The Colored Farmers’ State of
Tennessee, at their recent session in Pu¬
laski, adopted resolutions declaring in
favor of the sub-treasury plan, compli¬
menting those who have worked so faith¬
fully for its adoption, and declaring that
they will co-operate with the white peo¬
ple of the State of Tennessee for the pro¬
motion and election of such public ser¬
vants as will give them the sub-treasury
or some equivalent measure. This is the
second of Colored State Alliances (Lou¬
isiana being first) to declare boldly in
favor of more money for the people and
for Sovereign home rule.
* *
The National Economist says: “When
the sub-treasury bill came up before the
House Committee on Ways and Means,
through a resolution introduced by Repre¬
sentative Wheeler providing for its con-
sideration, some very lame reasons were
given for its not being reported much the Among
them were these: In as as reso-
lution seemed to propose a trenching upon
the prerogative of the Committee on
Rules by the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, is the clause setting apart a day
for the consideration of the bill, and for
the further reason that owing to delav in
its delivery to the committee, the date
fixed for consideration of the bill had
already been passed, therefore the resolu¬
tion of Mr. Wheeler was laid aside with¬
out action. In fact there is no desire
just at present iu either branch of con-
gress to he put on record in regard to
this bill.”

At the fourth annual meeting of the
Mississippi State Alliance the following
was Resolved, adopted: That committee of three
a
be appointed to send greetings of the
Mississippi State Alliance to the brethren
north of Mason and Dixon's line. This
committee sent the following:
“The duty thus assigned the commit¬
tee, we assure you, is a most agreeable
one, and with our hearts in our hands we
tender through you to our brethren
throughout the noithern section of the
Union frateranl greetings on behaif of the
Farmers’ Alliance organization of Mississippi, in this and
monwealth pledge for the most zealous and patriotic com¬
our
endeavors to propagate the true princi¬
ples of our glorious order; to suppress
sectional agitation, and to promote fue
peace, happiness, and prosperity South, East of and the
whole people. North,
West.”
NO ARBITRATION.
SITUATION OF THE GREAT 6TRIEE IN NEW
TORE STATE,
More literature was added to the strike
history Friday afternoon and evening.
State Commissioner Donovan, of the
board of meditation and arbitration, sent
a letter to Vice-President Webb and a
copy to Mr. Powderly, saying: “It having
come to the knowledge of the State
board of meditation and arbi¬
tration tbsjt another strike is
seriously threatened upon the
lines of your company, I am instructed
by the board to again communicate conference w th
you, and invite a joint be¬
tween the officers of your company and
representatives of your employes with the
vicw r of devising some means, either by
arbitration or such other method as may
be mutually agreed upon, whereby the
threatened strike may be averted, and an
abrupt interruption of travel and trans¬
portation of freight iu prevented.” reply, said: “Our
Mr. Powderly, comply with
board is willing to your re¬
quest, and hold themselves in readiness
to respond at a moment’s notice. We
have from the beginning been willing
and anxious to submit the matter to your
board for adjustment.”
MR. WEBB WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
In reply Mr. Webb says: “The fur¬
ther strike referred to by you will or
will not take place, as the efforts of the
persons who have left our service may or
may not meet with success. I believe
that such efforts will fail. The operating
force of this company is full; the passen¬
ger service of the company is regularly
performed, and thefe is no obstruction to
its freight service except lawless inter¬
ference, and apprehension thereof seems
to me inappropriate and unnecessary to
have the conference as suggested by
you.” is nothing to
Labor leaders say there
do save to strike, as the principle in¬
volved is the light of workingmen to or¬
ganize.
TRADE REVIEW?
DUN & CO’S. REPORT OF BUSINESS FOR
WEEK ENDED AUGUST 53.
The weekly review of trade of R. G.
Dun & Co., says: The signs noticed of monetary
disturbance which were in previ¬
ous reviews were not misleading. Money
loaned at half a cent per day premium or
about 190 per cent yearly, and most of
the loans were at a quarter premium.
Money for commercial loans is scarce and
rates nominal. The treasury has an¬
nounced that it will redeem $20,000,000
of the 4$ per cent bonds, and accelerate
payment for silver bought. The obvious
and only sufficient relief is the liquidation
of money. Speculations in stocks, in
wheat, corn, oats, cotton, leather, hides,
coffee, wool, and especially in silver bul¬
lion, have locked up enormous sums. Ia
silver alone about ten millions have been
locked up to wait for high prices. In
grain several times as much and in
other products many millions. In addi¬
tion, the enormous imports intended to
anticipate the pending tariff bill have
virtually locked up for an indefinite time
many millions paid for goods and in du¬
ties on them. The volume of legitimate
business throughout the country contin¬
ues large, exceeding that of last year by
10 per cent, outside of New r York, and
the desire to market products quickly
as prices rise, causes a greater demand for
currency from the country than usual.
Reports from the various cities, with
very few exceptions, indicate a largct
trade than ever before is in progress with
satisfactory collections and a bright out¬
look. Crop reports are less discouraging
though the yield must fall below early
anticipations as to grain. In general, the
condition of legtimate business is encour¬
aging, unless monetary pressure and labor
controversies interfere. The threat of a
great strike on all the Vanderbilt roads
has helped to depress stocks and to dis¬
turb shipments. Business failure of the
week number for the United States 1,-
172, Canada 20. Total 192, against 197
last week.

APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
KNIGHTS OK LABOR ASKING FOR FUNDS fCh

the Knights of Gabor at Chicago, Sunday,
a committee was appointed to solicit
funds for the aid of the New York Cen¬

were adopted unanimously: demand
