Resolutions from Millen Sub-Alliance.
Editor southern Alliance Farmer:
Please allow space in your valuable
eolumns for the expression of Millen
sun. Alliance, No. 2077:
Whereas, it has been the purpose of
many of the politicians and dai.y papers
•f the state of Georgia to destroy the
confidence of the Alliance in Col. L. F.
Liviugsten, Dr. C. W. Macuue, The
K««thkbn Alliance Farmer and Edi
tor H. C. Brown, by making grave and
slanderous charges against them;
Resolved, 1, That we have entire con
fidence in the integrity of L. F. Living
ston, C- W. Micune, H. C. Brown and
The Southern Alliance Farmer.
2. That we hold iu perfect- contempt
all men and papers who would stoop to
such degrading measures to accomplish
their political objects.
3. That we wil not patronize any
paper that has been guilty of condemn
ing and slandering our order, leaders or
organ.
4. I'hat inasmuch as we believe a ma
jority of the voters of Burke, Scriven
and Bullock counties did oppose the
election oi Gov. Gordon to the United
States senate; and whereas, the repre
seuta>ives from Burke county and Sena
tor Callaway, from the sever r.entc sen
ate) iai district, did cast t;u .. votes for
Gov. Gordon in opposition ' o be will of
riie people, we will not give them our
support lor any cfllie in the future.
5. That we look upon Hon, I’at Cal
houn as being one of the grandest
champions of the people’s cause the
world has ever known, and hope that lie
may continue to aid us iu battling for
the right.
li. That inasmuch as the will of the
people has been defeated iu the election
of a United Bsates semi*or by the repre-,
sentatives from the Alliance ranks, we
cail upon tine Allianceman all over the
state to unite with us m condemning
their acts and looking well in the elec
tion of our next ropiest uiatives that the
will of the people may be done.
7. That these resolutions be published
in The Southern Alliance Farmer.
Unanimously adopted November 22,
1890, at Millen, Burke county, Ga.
P. L Johnston, Pres.
A. C. Wallace, Sec.
Was Tat Calhoun a Monopollat?
I say he was not. If I kill a man and
employ a lawyer to oefend me, that does
sot make my attorney a murderer.
Who ever heard before of a man being
called a monopolist simply because he
was an attorney for a railroad? Maj. A.
O. Bacon a-’d A r. J. J. C. Black are noth
railroad attorneys; neither one of them
has ever been called a monopolist. Gen.
Gordon was once a railroad attorney; no
one ever called him a monopolist on that
account. Whence did this charge
against Mr. Calhoun come —from the
friends of the Alliance? N > —it camo
from the enemies of the Alliance. Had
Mr. Ualhopu been a monopolist, an un
safe man to represent the farmers’ inter
est in congress, would uot President
Polk, Dr. Macuue, President Livingston,
Messrs. Brown, Gorman, Turner, Gantt
and other Alliance leaders advised
against his nomination? They certainly
would. After Mr. Calhoun had been
nominated by the Alliance caucus these
gentlemen boldly espoused his cause and
advised bit election. Had the anti-
Gordon AUiancemen in the legislature
heeded the advice of these trusted lead
ers —the men who, through great tribu
lation, had brought the order to the
point of victory—Mr. Calhoun would
have been elected. But no; they turned
a deaf ear to these noble man—the men
to whom we have been accustomed to
look for counsel in the hour of trouble—
and listened to the deceptive whines of
the Alliance’s most bitter enemies. 1
write this more in sorrow than in auger.
Mr. Calhoun declared in his letters
•ver the signature of Georgian, before he
was ever a candidate for senator, in
favor of the government controlling rail
roads through state and inter-state rail
road commissions. He reiterated the
same thing iu his speech before the
members of the legislature. What more
could he have said? What mors could
he be asked to say?
But they say Ualhoun was opposed to
the Oliva bill. So were a majority of
the last legislature. Were they monop
olists? Then the monopolists are fear
fully numerous in Georgia.
It is no secret that the railroad mon,
bankers, manufacturers, merchants and
money ring generally were arrayed in
solid phalanx against Mr. Calhoun. If
he was their friend, why di<l they antag
onize him? These were the gentry who
cried “monopolist” the loudest; yet
nothing would have pleased them so
well us the election of a monopolist.
Mr. Norwood said in his speech that
Calhoun wasn’t fairly nominated. Why?
Because somebody told the caucus that
Nat. Hammond was opposed to a rail
road commission, which report was un
true. Admit it—what did it amount to?
Mr. Hammond was not. a candidate
before the caucus; he was not even a
possible candidate; he was a Gordon
man; lie had no following inside or out
side of the Alliance. But Mr. Norwood
was a candidate m the caucus; his posi
tion on any measure was not misrepre
sented by any one; ha was defeated—
fairly defeated—but did not abide the
result, as both he and his friends were
honorably bound to do.
Au ianckmAn.
Morven, Ga.. Nov. 24, 1890
[The papers and influences in which
s i recently supported <overnor Gordon
and secured his eleetion to the senate
and the temporary defeat of the Alliance
aie now engaged in the effort to follow
up their temporary victory by gaining
control of the Alliance and running it in
their interest and against the interests
of the farmers. The conclusive evidence
that tl e effort is being made is to be
found in the course pursued by such pa
pers as the Macon Telgraph.the Augusta
Chronicle and the Atlanta Journal since
the election. They have been engaged
in a vigorous effort to convince the far
mers and'the Alliance that they are the
true friends of the Alliance cause,and the
thing for the Alliance to do is to throw
over its former leaders and turn the Alli
ance over to them.
The programme is for Governor Gor
don to assume the leadership of the Alli
ance, and for all the old politicians 50 be
brought back into life, by sidetracking
the Alliance as the old Grange was.
While this is the course pursued in
Georgia, the true inwaidness of Gov
ernor Gordon’s. canvas and election is
plainly told by the press at the north
and east. In order that the brethren
throughout the state may know how
Governor Gordon’ election is looked up
on outside of the state, we submit a
quotation from the New York
bun, one of the most powerful jour
nals published in this country. It
will be readily seen on reading this quo
tation from the Sun what inspired Gor
don’s followers in Atlanta during the
senatorial campaign, and why it was
that they hissed the speakers who nomi
nated other candidates. The quotation,
however, speaks for itself and is as fol
lows:
John B. Gordon’s election as senator from
Georgia comes as a very gratifying supplement
to the general democratic success.
General Gordon was the most conspicuous
statesman in the south who refused to lay away
the democratic flag in the loft of the fantastic
sub-treasury planned by wild men of the Fann
ers Alliance. General Gordon bearded the
farmer in bis delirium and denounced the sub
treasury phantom like a patriot and a democrat.
Os course the radical element of the Alliance
exerted its full power of resentment toward
compassing Gordon's defeat; and now he has
been elected senator by a satisfactory majority.
Che democratic spirit iu the south is too real
to support the promoters of any conflict with
itself.
Geueral Gordon's success, which has been
steadfastly and strenuously advocated by the
Sun is one of the most genuine of democratic
victories, as well as the most significant. It
proves tiie soundness of General Gordon’s judg
ment and the Sun’s expressed opinion, that as n
political agitation threatening the national
democracy the southern Alliance can with all
honor to itself be counted out.
The best thing the sub-Alliances of
Georgia can go is to promptly pass reso
lutions supporting their leaders aud
approving the course of the members of
she legislature who opposed and voted
against General Gordon. The sooner
this is done the better.
In Menjurianu
God, in bis all-wise providence, lias
suddenly and unexpectedly, on the 4th
of November, removed from our midst
our beloved brother, Welcome L. Cole
man; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, in the sudden
death of our deceased brother, acknowl
edge the power of Almighty God, and
humbly bow to his will.
Resolved, That, by the death of our
brother, this lodge has lost one of its
charter members and first president and
the country a true and respected citizen.
Resolved, That we tender our sympa
thy to the grief stricken family.

Summertown Sub-Alliance, No. 1823
From Echols County.
Editor Southern Alliance Farmer:
If you do not deem the following inap
propriate, please give space for its inser
tion ;
First, I wish to speak of the princi
ples of oin grand organization (although
they have been commented upon almost
incessantly the past two years), and our
duty toward preserving them.
We, as a band of producers working
in harmony for mutual protection
against combinations and trusts that
prey upon the results of our labors,
should fully acquaint ourselves with
tlioie principles and our duties connect
ed therewith.
Our compact: “We, the farmers of
America, feeling the importance of a
closer bond of union between us—in
order to a better regulation of our liua:i
cial and home interests—do organize
ourselves into an association, to ba
known as the Farmers Alliance.”
Whv should a closer bond of unioa
exist? Because of their homes being in
the rural districts remote from each
other; isolated from the societies of
towns and cities; far away from the
schools, churches and other advantages
which we find in the higher walks of
life. The farmers as a class, because of
these conditions, are less united and
poorer than any other profession of men.
And because of their condition being
thus, they have fallen a prey to all other
professions. Indeed, they plow to feed
the world.
Their condition being thus, their fam
ilies are raised without au ed".cation,
and thus in their ignorance are destined
to be hewers of wood and drawers of
water; therefore, we need union among
us to enable us to protect aud dignify
our profession; for it is a fact beyond
a question of doubt, that agriculture has
long since fallen from its original pres
tige. Our organization has come to re
store it to its primeval purity, and to do
this we must put those principles taught
by the Alliance into practical effect.
Study the principles and fully acquaint
ourselves with them and our impending
duty.
We all wish to obtain relief from our
oppressed condition, therefore, are well
wishers to the success of the organiza
tion. But that alone will not suffice.
Relief can bo obtained by the united
efforts of every farmer and laborer. Wo
should learn to stop atd think, study,
reflect and reason upon all questions
that may be under our consideration.
Get iutw the right channel and then
push forward.
Do we all do this, or do some of us
listen to the advice of politicians aud
Wall street leaders to such an extent
that our judgment and reason become
volatile, biased and distrustful, so that
when some king of-all among politicians
and millionaires comes thundering iu
we squat and bow our head in humble
submission to him and do his bidding?
I have heard some Alliancemen (?) ex
press themselves against the sub-treasu
ry bill. Why is it so? Is it not because
they read political newspapers exclusive
ly and never, or rarely ever, read an
Alliance paper? Upon being asked why
do you oppose it? “Oh, it is unconsti-
SOOTHERK ALLIANCE FARMER, ATLANTA, GA, DECEMBERS, 1890.
tutional, in the first p1ace....,” etc.
Allow me to ask those who talk thus:
did you not get yonr information from
some paper favoring politicians, etc. and
in opposition to the Alliance? Some,
probably, may have never read the con
stitution of the United States over in a
considerate manner, and may not under
stand the constitution of their own state.
1 wish every tnemftr would read acme
good Alliance paper regularly and keep
posted: know what is going on in the
great Alliance machinery, aud be ever
ready to lend a helping hand. Not only
be ready, but be competent to help. We
can do some, if but little, if we only try.
We must learn to have heads of our own
aud not act in the capacity of slaves
longer—any more than we can help.
Again: We labor for the education of
our class generally. We have in.our
state a sys om of education, though
meagre, but an opportunity is offered to
children of every class and condition.
The man of tne plow, because of his
mrr lundings, is slighting the opportu
nities more than any othe' class, hence
the buys or girls of the farm are so
often disqualified to mingle and com
mingle in higher circles of society, and
are shut out and often made to feel em
barrassed on account of their ignorance.
While we are to blame in a great
measure for not improving the moments
that are offered ns, let us as tillers of
the soil awake from our lethargy, get
out of the old ruts, and send the child
ren to school- It makes no difference if
the school house should not be in the
jam of your own fence, send the b.’ys
and girls to school. Remember that, the
young are the hope of the country.
Raise them to he nature’s free men. Do
not try to saiisfv selfish whims anc raise
them up to be slaves for others.
POLITICAL.
We believe in the education of the
agricultural classes in the science <-»f
economic government in a strictly no>-
partisan spirit. Partisan politics are
strictly forbidden by the principles of
the Alliance, hence .ill sects, with their
hands on the Book of Life, are obligated
and bound together by the faithful ties
of fraternal love. They meet together,
sit together in the same lodge, here to
study the questions of economy and the
affairs of state that pertain to their in 1
teres t. Here they learn that they are
engaged in onc common cause, bound
by one common interest, enlisted to
achieve the same result'. Here they
learn that men who have be n schooled
in trickery and chicanery have been
preying upon the products of their
labor. Here they learn that iu union
there is strength, hence they are soon
better qualified to meet the adversities
of life and battle against the disadvant
ages of iiiiorauee, superstition and vice
They are set out, as it were, in a new
i'fe, a new field of thought. New idea.s
are discussed, rind soon they find that
their interests are identical and act to
gether in unity for the advancement of
the agricultural classes.
A lack of this knowledge and union
1 eretofore has caused agriculture to lose
its prestige and fall from its primeval
purity. It has caused, iu a great meas
ure, the vampire of monopoly to be
reared and fostered, by sucking, as
it were, the very lifeblood from
the veins of ouv profession,
and the cry of countless millions today is
“give us more money.”
The money marts and millionaires of
America control the price of what we
produce, and the price of what we cone
sumo, and the price of the dollar that we
use to buy the necessaries of life with.
The farmer because of the circumstances
that surround him, is forced to place the
products of his labor upon the markets
during three months of the year.
During that season those who control
the money withdraw it from circulation,
and the result is because of the scarcity
of money, the price of the dollar goes up
and the price of the farm prducts comes
down.
As soon as the farm products leave
the hands of the farmer, money is put
back iu circulation and the price of the
dollar conies down and the price of farm
products goes up, lienee the profit goes
into the pockets of those who do not eat
the bread of life by “the sweat of their
brow.”
Then they cry out to us overproduc
tion (is the cause of your suffering.
Now, if overproduction is the cause, why
was it two years ago when the farmers of
America produced 2 1-2 per capita they
got as a standard price, >1.15 per bushel,
and last year when they only made 7 1-2
bushels per capita, they got only 79 cents
per bushel as a standard?
In 1881 when the the farmers of Amer
ica produced four millions bales of cot
ton, the price went down and the cry of
overproduction was heard; last year they
produced over seven million bales of cot
ton, and because of our organization the
price of raw material went up and the
juice of manufactured articles came
down. Overproduction is not the cause
of oppression, but, the lack of a suffi
ciency of money in circulation to meet
the demands of the people.
The money of the country has floated
into the hands of the few to the detriment
of the oppresssed many.
In 1860, we are told t here were but two
millionaires in this country, and now we
are told, there are in 1890, thirty-one
thousand. Just after the late war we
had in this country nearly S7O per
capita, today it is asserted we have but
four dollars and seventy-two cents per
capita in circulation, and the money that
has concentrated in the hands of the few
has deprived ten thousand.to one from
having any mony At all.
The Farmers Alliance has enlisted
overj3,ooo,ooo men in this mighty struggle
for liberty, and if every one will only do
his part victory will crown our efforts.
Let each one read some Alliance paper
regulaily, keep posted, set to work ami
study upon the topics relative to our
cause and be able to give a reason for

To Alliancemen
Our late defeat will net hurt us if we
own up like men that we were whipped.
Don’t be deceived by the enemies of the
order who would have you make scape
goa sos Livingston, Macune and other
leaders. They are patting you on the
back, saying; “We knew you loved the
general.” ‘ Os course you had too much
sense to endorse that sub-treasury,” and
“You are not to blame for this fight,"
etc This is veiv attractive to defeated
men. No one likes to own that, it was
his fault, but it is all our fault. I know
that I would have done more than I did,
and there are hundreds of others who
car say the same thing.
This attempt to turn you agiinst your
leaders by placing the blame on them is
the purest bunsom. General Gordon
brought on the fight and whipped it,
and with our own men.
I know there is a great erv of “I killed
ceckrobin,” but General Gordon’s suc
cess is fine to our wonderful resources
atm Atlanta’s good lungs.
You are receiving every.day through
the pref s most attractive inducements to
throw out Livingston, recall Macune,
etc. In other words, cut off your head
and then you’ll be all right.
“The Alliance is all right, but x our
leaders! your leaders’?” Who would not
brag on a snake’s rattles, if by so doing
they could induce it to bre)k its neck.
“But the Alliance is in danger of hurting
itself with those fangs in its mouth—
Livingston and Macune —they are too
sharp—full of poison—they will bite the
order in politics and kill it. The Alli
ance must be harmless to be perfect.
Take out its brains, flatten its head. We
don’t mind its being a snake (secret
order) if it’s only the light kind—say a
coachwhip that will stay.out in the old
field, running at everything that runs
from it, and running from everything
that runs at it ”
There’S plenty for us to do; oh yes.
When they want sugar and coffee to
come down, to break a trust, they will
got us to do the privation or substitute
act. They wont do it themselves.
Tell how we|wrapped half of our body
around the jute trust aud wore it to a
frizzle with our tail! And when any
independents kick over the traces —re-
fuse to work to the democratic wagon—
how convenient to tie our heads to the
whip staff of a court house ring aud
whip them into line.
Our enemies say “we need conserva
tive men.” They mean soma old fossil
about as progressive as a crawfish, aud
who will insist when a political question
comes up, “that ths prayers of tne right
eous availetb much,” and that some
brother lead us iu prayer, with Jay
Gould on Wall street as the leading
thought. We must talk about turnips
and pumpkins! Yes, aud all go to seed
together!
Don’t think you can do anything that
will satisfy your enemies, except die out.
They abused us because we elected a
fe v farmers to represent us when no one
else would espouse our cause. Called it
“a secret political order that discrimi
nated against other professions.” We
said “principles; not men,” electing
Tom Watson, endorsing Calhoun, and
then we were ridiculed for thinking
that lawyers could represent us.
I have not read a paper in six months
against us that nas not appealed to our
prejudice rather than to. our reason; and
there is not an editor in Georgia today
cutting at Livingston, Macune, or Harry
I Brown, but will open to them the col
i umns of their papers for a dis mission of
i any of the principles they advocate.
| The south was not whipped until they
i stopped fighting, and we will not be
[ whipped until we stop fighting. Gor
, don’s victory will not hurt us unless we
ile; that be a lever to pry us open. Come
| together like men and we can create
, such a sentiment in Georgia in favoi’ of
our platform that not a representative
jin Washington from this state will vote
against sub.teeasury or anything else.
Yours fraternally,
Jas. L. Sibley.

Whereas the Atlanta Journal aud
Macon Telegraph have seen proper to
abuse and make false charges as to the
work done by Brothers Macuue and Liv
ingston for the good of the Alliance;
therefore be it
Resolved, By the members of Cleve
land Alliance, That we will not take or
read either of these papers, aud ask all
the sub Alliances iu Georgia to adopt
our mode in dealing with our enemies.
2. That we cordially approve the course
pursued by these brethren in advocating
Alliance principles, and will do all in
our power to hold up their strong arms.
The shafts of malice maybe bin led at
them, yet they will come out unscathed
and uuharmed amid it all, for truth and
justice will prevail.
