The Stab stands squarely ou the

government a miser, wringing millions
nually from the people and locking them
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a
strous crime against the right of
citizenship. Republican political
may call it ‘protective taxation;” the
name for it is robbery.

and left tho farmers without protoc

There is no profession that is not
organized, yet there is war upon the
Farmers Alliance. It is said that
wo can’t stick—they don't want ns
to stick. The principle of alliance
is founded in nature and instituted
by God. The dew falls gently bit
is drawn up by the sun, the snow
flake melts by itself, the brook
amounts to very little; but altogeth
er allied make the mighty Mississippi
bearing the burdens of great boats
with ease. Nature combines and re
quires power.
The principles of the Allianoe have
been published and are well known,
and upon those principles and the
constitution of the order he stood. The
great work of the order is to educate
people and improve their finances'
The bravest man in the world will
flinch when the commercial man takes
him around the counter and asks him
to pay that little bill, lio is not
afraid of a hostile foe, but surrenders
ignominiously to debt. The remedy
for debt is to go home and stay there
and make your farm self sustaining.
All the laws that could ever be enact
ed could not relieve you like this
course. Combine and plant corn; no
one can object to such a procedure.
Cease to bring in your mules and sad
die them with mortgages. Not only
was Georgia afflicted, but ten north
western States were so over mort
gaged that the lands were irredeem
able. The fact is that the cities are
growing richer and the country poor
er. I feel big when I am in Atlanta,
but get wonderfully small when I
get home to eat my corn bread.
This country is rich in soil and bless
ed in climate, yet the monopolies are
so great and so grasping that we can
no; even eat our corn bread in peace.
The remedy for all these evils lies
iu the Alliance. Everybody is or
ganized with a two edged sword
against yon—not personally, but to
handle your produce. By the Alii
ance yon will be improved morally,
financially and socially. Tho object
of the Alliance is to administer jus
tice and equity to everybody. We
don’t intend to make war on the
merchants, but the way they fight us,
1 go 'way honey! The merchants
have formed a new organization by
which they propose to boycott the A1
liance, and refuse credit to every wie
who has not paid* up. But if we
take care of our own interests all
will prosper.
Georgia is about to take a new
step and handle its own business.
The Alliance now numbers 1,200,000
members, and they propose to organ
ize their own exchanges. Let us
state where we stand and not be lik p
the Atlanta Constitution, blow hot
and cold with the same breath. We
are waking up and Wall street is re
alizing the fact, and willing to lean
us $10,000,000 to run aur business;
but we will run our own business.
At present a bale of cotton is
sold for $40 and the goods turned
back fyr $120. The^ manufacturer
makes his $40, the producer has his
but what becomes of the other $40?
The middle man gets it. We will
take this $40 and divide it among
the honest Georgia boys who made
it. The Siate agency in Kentucky
controls 50,000 bushels of wheat.
The agency in Tennessee will sell
you wagons ror $35 that others have
charged you $05 lor. In Texas, the
manufacturers have got so they
won’t tall to_ihe agency. Even the
Indians are forming alliances.

THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
THE QUESTION OF UNITY IN NEW
YORK CITY.
Will the Party Suffer by the Internal
Fight over the Spoils?—Repub¬
lican Troubles.
Special Correspondences New*.
New York, July 12.—Tho ques¬
tion of local Democratic unity is just
now the overshadowing political
topic. A mayor, board of aldermen
and county officers are the bone of
contention, Tammany Hall, which
has not had a mayor of its own these
many years, insists that this is a good
year for the wigwam to name the can
didate. Tho aspect is entirely dif
ferent through the County Demo
cracy spectacles. That organization
declares that it is strong enough to
elect its individual candidate, with
both Tammany and Republican
tickets in the field. The leaders
complain that Tammany with the
$50,000 a year shrievalty, county
clerkship (worth nearly as much)
presidency of the board of aldermen
and various other local offices, always
has more than its due share of the
official plums. All these they are
willing to concede to Tammany in
this year’s partition, hut when it
comes to tno mayoralty they em
phaticaliy draw the line.
The Star has been industrously
sounding fhe opinions of the leaders
in both organizations on this matter,
particulary with reference to its pos
sible effect on the city vote for the
national ticket. Various views have
been advanced.
Some of the best known of the
local politicians of both Tammany
and the Counties warmly advocate
local unity, no matter to whom the
prizes may go. Two Democratic
tickets in the field they say, would
have a dispiriting effect on the out¬
side Democracy, and would end in
trades and dickers which could do
the national ticket no good. These
seem also to be the generally accept
ed views outside of New York,where
these little facticnal differances arc
watched with the same interest as
here, and for obvious reasons.
Yet there are not wanting astute
political managers who take a radi I
call? different view of the matter,
and are as emphatic in their advo
cacy of seperate tickets. To begin
with they assert, and with entire
tru h, that Democratic success will
not bu imperilled by seperate
tick ;is. As to tbe voting strength
of ihe organizations, either one is in
excess of that of the Republicans.
Their argument, though, rests mainly
on the claim that rival Democratic
tickets would put tbe two evenly
balanced organizations on their met
tie as nothing else could, and bring
to the polls thousands of voters who
might otherwise absent themselves.
They scout .he idea that there would
be any trading of the Presidential
ticket, but insist that it would gan
materially by reason of the full.r
vote. In support of their clairrD
they reft r to the State election of
three y ars ago. Each of the faciiji.s
had Let local tickets in tbe field at
that time and the alarmists declared
that Gov. Hill would be caught be
tween the two and traded to death.
The contrary proved to be the case,
as he polled a magnificent voFe.
