How Fannins Should be Made Self

Mr. president, brethren and sisters of
Shiloh alliance—At our last meeting it
. was resolved that the lecturer of this
alliance give a lecture at this time, and
I now proceed to make the effort, and it
Is known to you all that I am not an
educated man, neither am I in the habit
of making public speeches. You will
therefore bd prepared to excuse me for i
what I may fail in coming up to your
reasonable expectations.
If we will stop and look over our past
history since the emancipation of the
slaves we have had speech after speech,
we have had resolution after resolution,
and it occurs to me that the time is com
ing, and even at our door to-day, when it
requires action, and stern action, on the
part of all true agriculturists at the
south that wc may he able to sustain
ourselves and our posterity in the glo
rious avocation in which we are engaged,
which is tilling the soil and trying to
make a living by the sweat of our brows.
The country is reduced in material re
sources and in the means of life and the
promotion of the wanted comfort of the
people to an extent well calculated to
disturb the equanimity of such as are
thoughtful and feel the proper degree of
interest in the future of the planters of
this country.

to make home desirable, with all the at

so they will be willing to stay at home
and not have to go away in search of

The non producer then can purchase j
his supplies for less money than he now j
does thereby enabling them to hire
cheaper, the merchant can sell his goods
for less money, and the banker can dis
count paper for less rates of interest.
Let us at Shiloh alliance start out to-day
if we have not already started with a
new r resolve and a fixed purpose of mind I ^
to try by concert of action to restore the
needed confidence in our country, let us
feel that when we obligate to do any
thing, if wo fail to do what we promised
we are weakened in the financial world,
when confidence is restored in the coun
try we will have cheap money, cheap
There are causes for all our troubles
that are intelligible to those who stop to
consider. They are the common errors
of most of our people in their habits and
modes of life. Not the money-holding
class, who can be profligate and still
have ample means to liv^in luxury and
go in style, but It is the common, ordi
nal y people, which description embraces
a very large per cent, of the masses of
all callings and occupations. These peo
ple must cease trying to follow after
them in their boundless extravagance in
drink, diet and equipage, sooner or later
they will be reduced lower and
lower in the depths of poverty
and in its ultimate depredation, they
will have to adopt modes of life by
which they can sustain themselves and
families, on the income of their own
products. Those who are engaged in
farming cannot afford to buy the most
of their groceries and what they con
sume on their plantations.
T he old men and women, who a long
ways back provided fortunes for tbeir
children, are fast passing away, and the
present as well as the Incoming genera
tion must come to realize that money is
not a spontaneous growth in the south,
and that food and raiment and shelter
and many other things that they will
need for health, comfort and decency,
are the results of skill and labor. Some
of our best men saw that the planting
interest was going down and the fanners
getting in debt, and their lands many of
which was going into the hands of the
capitalist and leaving many farmers
without land, and they have in many in
stances become, tenants.
In order to protect the farmers the al
liance was organized, not with the view
as I understand to make war on any
trade or profession, but simply to see if
by concert of action they could not bet
ter the condition of t}w farmers. If
the farmers are in a healthy con
dition, as a matter of course all.
trades and professions will prosper. If
the farmers would adopt modes of farm-'
ing whereby they could make the farm
sclf-sustainin *, it would not take a
prophet to foretell the happy results
that would follow. We, as farmers,
have much to complain of in the way of
high interest and high prices for goods
•n a credit, but if we will stop and look
^t another picture, look how some men
will do to avoid the payment of honest
debts they contracted for supplies they
should have made at home. Suppose all
the farmers in the cotton belt was to
make their supplies and let their cotton
crop go to purchase such articles as they
could not raise on tbeir farms and estab
lish the cash system, the merchant would
, gladly sell for a small margin for cash
and as the spring is here let us as farmers
try to raise all our farm supplies as near
as possible, then pay the cash for the
balance, in the event we have to go in
debt. Let us try to protect our credit:
if we could see how damaging it is to us,
financially, to lose our credit, we surely
would make a desperate effort to pro
tect it. It is only a question of time
with the farmers of this country, with
out a great revolution in the modes of
life and farming, as to when they will
find tlfemselvcs in destitution and ab
ject pov^ny. The evil of the situation
is everywhere apparent, and the great
practical question fora noble race in
imminent peril to solve is through what
possible channel we may hope for re
lief. I answer, looking at the pad,
present, and probable future of our
country and people, having closely ob
served their temper, taste and habits for
upwards of half a century, lam in full
sympathy with all legitimate trades and
professions, and I desire to see them all
prosper.
- Nearly every speaker will show up
the condition the country is in, but
they fail to prescribe the remedy. Much
has been said about reform; many look
ing to the federal government, some to
Ciedits have been more cautiously
given in woolen and boot and shoe
trades, and this has lessened the volume
of transactions. Hence, it is encourag
ing to find that there is an actual im
provement in the demand for consump
tion in several more important trades
and that manufacturers already begin to
feel the effects.
Crop pi expects have improved during
the past week, particularly in southern
and northwestern regions, where there
has been lack of rain and there is now
scarcely a single commercial center

HIGH TAKIFF.
The raise on coal freights this season
by the railroads has put numerous man
ufacturing establishments to protesting
at the rate, and it is likely that some
concerted action will be undertaken to
get this matter before the commission.
Last year Americus paid 00 cents to
$1.25 per ton at the Alabama mines for
steam coal, and the rate of freight varied
from $1.60 to $1.00 per ton.
This season the railroads advanced
rates about 50 per cent., making the
freight about double the cost of the coal
at the mines.
In other words, the railroads charge
twice what the coal is worth to haul it
two hundred miles. The roads at these
rates get $*;0 to $75 per car for hauling
coal from Birmingham to Americus,
which is non-perishable and non-
destructible;*aod yet will haul cotton at
$1 per bale, or $50 per car, from Mem
phis to New Orleans, Brunswick or .Sa
vannah over 700 miles, and pay the in
surance besides.
There is n<* reason, justice or common
sense in the freight on coal from Bir

car. or $1 per ton; and the consumer

EX-SENATOft MCDONALD.
The death of Joseph E. McDonald de
prives the democratic party of one of its
ablest leaders. His name Las stood for
a quarter of a century as the synonym of
honesty of character and integrity of
conviction and that it occurs at a time
when the country is distracted by vary
ing party cries makes it the more deeply
to be deplored.

proposition of fairness and common
sense that the freight on no commodity
to any point should exceed its value at
the initial point; and this axiom might
be made the basis of a rule by the com
mission that could be equitably applied
to this question of overcharge on coal,
with much benefit to the manufactories,
and with no injustice to the railroads.
There can be no prosperity in manu

GOOD ADVICE.
There is a. strong prejudice existing!
the minds of our southern farmers
against using .as an article of food any
thing made of cotton seed oil. This is
very wrong. There is nothing purer or
more wholesome than such preparations
as a substitute for lard. They are in
every way preferable, to hog’s grease
and if generally adopted, there would,
not be so many cases of dyspepsia. B u t
aside from this, it is to the interest of
our cotton producers to encourage the
general use of cotton seed oil, for it
furnishes a ready market and increased
was demand for this part of their/mly money
was crop. Let our farmers give this substi-
thoir wisdom by following their ex
ample. .
The alliance was slow in taking this
step, they felt that it was in the field of
experiment and that difficulties awaited
them. To overcome them we must be
true to ourselves and not false to any
one. While the interest of the alliance
cause has seemed to weaken under the
heavy pressure that was brought to bear
as I fear, by indiscreet management on
the part of some of the leaders, allowing
tliealliance to drift into politics for their
own political preferment, to the injury
of the alliance.
Now Mr. President and brethren of
the sub-alliance go to work, let us go
back to the first declaration of princi
ples, let us practice every virtue that is
inculcated in the original principles of
the order, let us adhere to the truth,
let uf» as a band of bretheren working
together for good to all, making no war
on no trade nor profession, and if we
are successful in our undertaking and
shall be the means of placing the farmer
on a higher plain, then we shall have
felt that our efforts were not in vain.

from all quarters indicate little com
plaint as to collections.
Regarding money reports show almost
everywhere an ample supply for legiti
mate and safe business, but it is fre
quently mentioned that there is no sup
ply for speculation and at St. Louis the
market was stiller at seven per cent, at
Kansas City firm at 8 to 10 per cent and
at Detroit strong at 7 per cent,
rather stronger at Cleveland, tight at
Little Rock and Atlanta, dose at Nash
ville. and in good demand with firm rates
at New Orleans. From all other points
reports indicate comparative ease. It is
another hopeful indication that the de
mand for manufactured iron and steel
improves. For structural iron there is a
rush of orders because of the collapse of
building strikers, and makers of sheet
iror are somewhat puzzled, though bar
iron is only fairly active, but plates are
in good demand. The wool market at
New York shows improvement and
larger demand by manufacturers.

While The Times-Rkcoki>kk does nob

WHO ARE THEY?
The greatest danger that threatens
the alliance is men who seek to ride
them into office, and so soon as their
ambition is subserved, is to repudiate
the organization that gave them power

political schemers.—Editor Gaunt.
