FARMERS’ ALLIANCE NOTES. NEW8 OF THE OREDR AND ITS MEMBERS. WHAT IS BEING DONE IN THE VARIOUS SECTIONS FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE GREAT ORGANIZATION.—LEGISLA¬ TION, NOTES, ETC. Seven cotton mills in Georgia are mak ing cotton bagging. * * * the . 100 The counties Alliance in Virginia. is organized in . 79 ol * A * thou¬ The Farmers’ Alliance has two sand members in Maryland, and is rap- ly increasing. * % * Alliance 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. A* A co-operative 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¬ ous session of three days w T as held, the most important business being the adop¬ tion of a plan of exchange, modeled closely after that of South Carolina. v * * 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¬ trial Union. Thus does harmony put down dissension whenever the people continues are allowed to speak, and fraternity to envelop the land. * * * 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 next State meeting, one year •* * * Alliance 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.

At a meeting of the central council ol the Knights of Gabor at Chicago, Sunday, a committee was appointed to solicit funds for the aid of the New York Cen¬ tral strikers, and the following resolutions were adopted unanimously: demand Resolved, That we do hereby that the congress of the United States shall at oace authorize and instruct the secretary of war to seize said Vanderbilt system of railroads and operate the same at the cost of said service for the benefit and pleasure of the public. That said railroad Resolved further, of shall be turned over to the department transportation just as soon 4106, as the senate bill, number or some similar measure, can be enacted by congress, foi the reason that it is a mon¬ strous absurdity that any private throttle person or corporation should presume to the transportation of persons, thought or things within the limits of this republic at their own sweet pleasure. ask all Resolved, That we do hereby bodies of organized labor in the United States to substitute names for ours in this declaration, and have said declaration published in their local papers, as well as forward marked copies of said papers to their senators and representatives instruc¬ in con¬ gress, with a red-hot letter of tions to obey their wants and wishes or resign forthwith. th ; declaration be Resolved, That s published in all the city papers, so that it will meet the attention of the public.
