VOL. i. ALLIANCE TALKS. „ NEWS OF THE ORDER FROM ALL SECTIONS. Items of Interest to Alliance men Everywhere. The Mill Greek, Ga., Alliance endorses the Ocala platform of the Farmers’ Alli ance “whether it be known as the first party or the third party, and that our woithy State President be instructed to stand upon it, even if it be called first or third party.” * # * The Progressive Farmer says: “It is now pretty certain that many of the l'aimers who oppose the Alliance are not at all acquainted with its doings or ob jects. They accept t.he biased statements of partisan papers without making any investigations or without studying the matter. This is very unNft.” The Milton (W. Va.) Star says: “Quite a number of uninformed farmers labor under ih<: delusion that tho Alliance movement is of very recent origin, and wili have but an ephemeral existence. Such is not the cn*,- Tt . .s, the State of its birth, his just held her twelfth annual State Alliance, and the order in Texas is much stronger in number and more united in’purpose and more deter mined in resolution than ever before. The order, however, in many of the States is young in years but strong in spirit and growing fast. The order now in the United States numbers about four million members.” * * The Free Press (Winfield, Kans.,) says: “Most of the so-called farmers or agri cultural papers are nothing but partisan papers clothed in a garb calculated to , deceive the people. r i he farmers cannot afford to support papers that are oppos ing their interests. For years these pa pers have taught the farmers that they should let politics alone, aud that work ing harder and harder was the key-note to success, and most of the mischief that bad legislation has brought about must be attributed to this attempt to keep the farmer out of politics. It has been the schemes of the money kings, and it is time that the people were opening their eyes to the true situation of affairs.” * jfc 3 Dakota Ruralist (Huron, S. D.) says: “One ean hardly pick up a republican paper of the North or a democratic of the South without finding one are more edi torials or copied articles smiching the character of the Alliance leaders. • Such papers are not considered faithful unless they can show their ardor in that partic ular line. No word of commendation for the Alliance or the principles it ad vocates is ever seen in their columns, hence, what rot it is for men who are laboring to extend ihe principles of the order to still cling to the filth that is poured in upon them weekly. Fight for your own and your enemies will respect you for your manhood. The fight is now on. The question is, shall we be free men or wage slaves? ‘Shall the citizen or the dollar rule?’” The Alliance Monitor (Falkville,*Ala.,) says: “Tlie Alliance comprises a major ity of the voters of Alabama. These voters have the right to their opinions, to their policies, to their plans and their purposes. They are simply exercising the right of citizenship in all they have undertaken and all they propose to ac complish. They have all their material interests and the wolf Are of their chil dren involved in the result. It is not only their, right, hut their duty to do all they are undertaking. They would he recre ant to the demands of manhood and every obligation incumbent upon them if they should do less. A majority of them regard the hnion of the West and South as the easiest, best and safest plan to be pursued, and those who claim to be their leaders should seek that consumma tion.” * * * The People's Journal, (Lompac, Cal.) says: “Alliaucemcu as well as others, should not believe one-half the reports of Alliance doings th it are telegraphed to .the city dailies from the east. They are generally framed to suit the schemes of the enemies of the Alliance movement, and ii they can cause dissensions in the ranks of the Alliance on this coast, or deter farmers and laborers from joining the organization the object aimed at will be accomplished. The leading organs of both the great political parties either sneer at or boldly antagonize the Alliance movement, and the smaller fry copy their remarks as so much solid truth. I rom this time on till after tlie election next fall Alliauce men may be on the lookout for all manner of “yarns” in a certain class of papers, -calculated to injury,a movement that is becoming a terror to the capitalists and monopolists whose golden riveted collars the conductors of suejt journals wear.” ** The Independent (Grand Forks, N. D.) says: “The opponents of the sub-treas ury plan ought to address themselves to the task of showing how much preferable it is for the farmers to sell products at cost of production and pay the syndicate which purchases them from 50 to 100 per cent, profit when they are consumed. That is the condition now. The elevator trust is on top. The question is, should this elevator trust robbery continue, or had the government best provide protec tion? TIow? The Alliance offers the sub-treasury. If th-re ia n better or more efficient plau to meet the demands and requirements, let it he brought forth. But the present robberies ought Dot to continue, nor ought the government to permit them to continuq. The farmers want the government to perform its function to protect the ciiizeu from robbery. They pay for the protection. They want it: they are entit’ed to it. If they shall persist and insist, tb y will get it. The question must be met It must be settled aright. It will !>efettled aright, if there is any power in votes; and votes decide every issue in this country.” LAND LOANS. The Economist says: There is much confusion which hss led to considerable misapprehension in regard to the land loan demand of the Alliance. The pre cise language of the demand is as fol lows : "'Ye demand that the government shall < stablish sub-dreasuiies or deposi tories in the several sta’es, which shall loan money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed 2 per cent per annum, on non-perish dile farm pro ducts, and also upon real e-tate, with proper limitations upon the quantity of laud and amount of money.” This does not contemplate the wild indiscriminate loans that is charged against it, but expressly declares to the contrary, that the amount of both land and loan shall be properly limited. It leaves all the safeguards and limitations to the wisdom and discretion of Con gress, whose proper function is fo legis late upon all matters of this character. * sk * STATE MEETINGS. So far the results of the State meet ings have been very gratifying. They have disclosed a healthy growth in mem bership and, what is far hettcr, a unity of sentiment und determination that is sure to bring success and progress to the Order. In Mississippi, which was among tho last to hold its meetings, the breth ren were practically a unit upon the de mands of the Order, and were filled with enthusiasm over the great work now in drogresa throughout the State. The bitter political contest and relentless warfare that is being made on the Alliance there, has both increased aud solidified the membership and proved under great difiicu'ties the vitality and vigor of the Order. In Mis souri the State meeting has been held and the honor of the Alliance vindicated. The welfare of the Order is now in loyal keeping and a rapid iucrease in mem bership and unillc itiou among the breth ren is looked for' in the near future. The breihren in the State are loyal and intelligent, and can be trusted to do what is right aud proper. All good Alliance members should rejoice at the changed condition in Missouri, and aid the breth ren there in their contest for a correct in turpr.-taliorj of the demands of the Order’. — Economist. * * 3k STAND BY THE DEMANDS. Tire Tarboro Advocate rises to remark. “The more we read the comments of the press of both parties, and note its atti tude toward the Alliance, the more united and determined we should be in our efforts to secure the reform measures which the Alliance bus inaugurated. There is at) under-current that is sweep ing against the foundation of our order with such a force that unless vigilantly watched and earnestly resiste 1, will have tho effect of destroying much of the power and influence of the organization. While our brethren are sanguine of ac complishing many things for the good of the organization, they should not be for getful of the fact that the mightiest forces arrayed against us are to be re sisted; and in order to resist them successfully wo must be' united in ono solid line. We must haz ard almost auything in order to secure the utmost unity and harmony in the organization. The most essential prerequisite to the securement of any re form iu which the masses of the people are interested is unity, and we admonish our brethren throughout the country to stand by the demands as adopted at Ocala, Florida. Thoy are the embodi ment—the essence—of the principles of honest, just, wise and economic govern ment, and it is our duty to maintain them. After calm and deliberate reflec tion they were formulated for adoption by that great convention, and seeiug in them the embodiment of wisdom and jus tice, they were adopted as the platform of the Farmers’ Alliance aud Industrial Union of America. We have espoused a great cause—one that requires gigantic i fforts on the part of an opp essed and down-trodden class of people to throw off the fetters of the enormous money powers of the country, and let not petty jealousies aud bickerings estrange you in the fight against these monste s. * sk * THE OCALA DEMANDS —KEEP THEM BEFOHB THE PEOPLE. la. We demand the abolition of na tional banks. b. We demand that the government shall establish Sub-Treasuries or deposi tories in the several State’s, which shall loan money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed two per ceut. per annum, on noupcrishable farm products, and also upon r. al estate, with proper limitations upon the quantity of land and amount of money. c. We demand that the amount of the circulating medium be speedily increased to not less'than SSO per capiti. 2. That we demand that Congress shall pass such laws that will effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all ag ricultural and mechanical productions; providing a stringent system of proced ure in trials that will secure the prompt conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall secure the most perfect compli ance with the law. * 3. We condemn the silver bill recently pas-cd by Congress, and demand iu lieu thereof the free and unlimited coinage of silver. . 4. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting alien ownership ot land, and ■ that Congress take prompt action to de- TRENTON, GA.: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1891. vise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by aliens aud foreign syndicates; and that all lands now held by rai ro ids and other corporations in excess of such as is actually used and needed by the n be reclaimed by the government, and heft! for actual settlers only. 5. Believing in the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges tq none, we demand— a. That our national legislation shall bo so framed in the future ns not to build up one industry at the expense of an other. ft. We further demand a removal of tht existing heavy tariff tax from the neces sities of life, that the poor of our land must have. c. We further demand a just and equi table system of graduated tax on iu comes. and. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much r.s pos sible in the hands of the people, und hence we demand that all 'national and State revenues shall be limit'd to the ne cessary expenses of the government eco nominally and honestly administered. 0. We demand the most rigid, honest and just State and national governmental coutrol aud supervision of the moans of public commuuicatiou and transporta tion, and if this control and supervision does not remove the abuse now existing, we demand the government ownership o'* such mean's of communication and trans portation. „ 7. We demand that the Congress of the United States submit n amendment to the constitution providing for an elec tion of United States Senators by direct vote of the people of each State. * sk * REFORM FAI'ERS. The Progressive Farmer has the follow ing timely article commendatory of the reform press of North Carolina. The same reasoning and argument given for their support and*encouragement by all members of the order holds goods in every section of the country. The Pro gressive Farmer says: ‘Tn North Carolina we have ten pa pers that have joined the reform move ment. Very few if any of them are new recruits, their editors having been en gaged in alliance work for some years. Most of these papers have been started or purchased with the view of advocating the reform movement, In most cases our farmers were very anxious that these papers be started, knowing the great in fluence of the press when directed right. Now the reform press has certain duties to perform. It mu-t be plain to all. The editors of such papers must be hon est, truthful and fearless. There should bo-bo extremist in the editorial chair,! but at the same time a milk and cider man has no abiding place in the office of a reform paper. Any paper fa ling to come up to the requirements will be dropped from the list of . reform papers. A paper 6liould stand by our demands and work to change our condi tions. But at the same time these papers should represent all classes. What is the duty of the members of the Alliance and the general public ? The members of the Alliance own and are interested in the of these papers financially and in the success of the reforms they advocate. Hence it is apparent that they should give the papers the most liberal support possible. Self protection is the first law of nature, therefore these papers are entitled to the support of farmers first of all. Our National and State organs are entitled to liberal support, and great issues ought to be discussed in their columns. But the local papers should have more liberal support than they ever have had. These papers can not depend on a little meat from poli ticians and others; they depend entire ly upon a legitimate subscription list and advertising patronage. Another thought right here. Our people must stop sending such a great mass of matter for publication to the State and National organs. When a man an article for publication he naturally wants it to reach a9 many people as possible. Owing to this the larger reform papers are crow ded almost out of existence. Now send some of your thunder to your local Alli ance paper and try to air your views among your home people. This will uot detract anything from the efficiency of the State and National organs, for they are always full to the brim, and may add interest to the local paper. Above all give your local paper more liberal sup port. Don’t pay your money for pluto cratic papers that don't care whether you are slaves or free citizens. Spread them among the people and make them inter esting. If you mean business do this, if not get out of the reform movement and go to work on the other side. A WATERY GRAVE. Forty People Perish in a Steam ship Collision. A cablegram of Friday from Athens, Greece, states that a collision has taken place (*fl Cape Colonua, the most south ern point of Attica, between the Italian steamship Taorimina, of the Italian Mes sageries Company, and the Greek steam ship Thessalia. The Taorimina sank soon after the accident, drowning her captain, several of her crew and foity of the passengers. The second officer of the Taormina and a number of passen gers, who were standing ou the bridge at the time the collision occurred, were saved by boats of the Thessalia. A Naval Order. An order was issued by Secretary Tracy on Wednesday which forebodes a considerable reduction of the number of naval vessels now on the Atlantic coast. It was directed to chiefs of bureaus, and ordered them to immediately prepare the Yorktown for service on the Pacific sta tion, and the gunboat Petrel for service on the Asiatic coast. THROUGH DIXIE.

Attorneys on both sides of the Lane- Kolb contest in Alabama have petitioned for a special term of the supreme court to settle matters. M. B. Curtis, well known in theatrical circles as “S-tm’l of Posen,” killed Officer Grant Friday in San Francisco, who had him arrested for creating a disturbance. A Raleigh dispatch of Tuesday says: The number of licensed grain distilleries in this collection district las consider ably increased, being now 130, while the number of bonded brandy distilleries has reached 500. Orth Stein, a festive journalist whom the newspapers of the country have been showing up in a bad light, and over whose head a reward of SIO,OOO is said to hang, was arrested at Stone Mountain, Ga., Sunday morning. A man suppose 1 to be the notorious William B. Tascott, who murdered the millionaire, Amos J. Snell, in Chicago, on February 8, 1888, was arrested at Bamberg, S. C., Saturday afternoon, by a private detective who followed the su-pect from Savannah, Ga., disguised as a tramp. A Nashville dispatch says: As was an ticipated,-the senate, on Saturday, tabled the house resolution to take a recess to allow a committee to select a site and plans for anew penitentiary. Mr. Curtis charged that political trickery kept the house from acting on the penitentiary question. A telegram of Saturday from Knox ville, Tenn , says: Fear of immediate treble at Briceville is at an end. The extra guards sdht there have returned. Prison Superintendent Goodwin states that, iu a conference with the mine lead ers, they assured him that they would protect the cctujaguy’s property and the convicts, and tnlrc there should be no trouble. A Chattanooga dispatch of Friday says: President Coleman, of the Catho lic Knights of America* in that city is in vestigating the of M. J. O’Brien treasurer of the order. CjMeman has taken charge of the office. Phus far, in the investigation of accounts, there is an apparent deficit of about thirty thousand dollars, which, in the absence of .Mr. O’Brien, is unexplained. A San Francisco dispatch says: A large mass meeting was held at Metro politan hall Saturday night iu the interest of free coinage. Resolutions were passed instructing California representatives in congnss to give earnest support to the free coinage bill immediately on the opening of congress,'and demanding that President Harrison sign such bill when passed. Judge William Miller, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., died iu Baltimore Friday afternoon. Judge Miller was for a number of years probate jndge of Tuscaloosa county, and was postmaster at that place up ‘othe time of his death. He had on his lips a very ugly cancer, and he went north to have it worked ou. The operation was per formed, but the immediate cause of death was kidney complaint. His age was seventy-six years. A Nashville dispatch says: Whether the legislature does anything with the penitentiary question or not, in case of further trouble with the free miners of Briceville, the governor will have ample authority to call out the militia, and also to call out every sheriff in the state for his services, with a posse. The house passed a senate bill giving him this authority Friday. Both houses also pass ed a senate bill appropriating $25,000 per annum for the maintenance of tho militia. A Dallas, Texas, dispatch of Friday says: A few weeks ago it was announced by some of the daily papers that R. G. Ingersoll, the skeptic orator, would be in at endance and lecture during the coming state fair and Dallas exposition. Tnis announcement raised such a howl of disapproval, especially among the alli ance people, that President Connor, of the fa r association, denied that Ingersoll would deliver addresses, and stated that it had only been suggested while he (Connor) was iu New York. Another change in the railroad freight rates of Chattanooga was annouced Fri day when notice was served that begin ning September 14tli, the rate on stoves from that point to Mississippi river points would be 19 cents per hundred in car load lots or less, being the same rate Naslivil c has had.

Boarding-house Keeper—Not much of anything. The boarders won’t be in condition to eat to-night. We had bakery mince pies for dinner.—[Good News. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK I For the Trade of the Country Reported by Dun & Cos. R. G. Dun’s review of trade for week ended September 11th says: All returns of the condition of business are encour aging. There is no room for doubt about the improvement in trade. From nearly, every city reporting there comes the same cheering information that busi ness is better aud prospeets brighter. The government crop report is one of the most favorablo ever issued. It is not impossible that some of the injuries sus tained, since the detailed reports were forwarded from the different counties, may reduce the yield somewhat below the indications of "the official returns. At the south improvement is general —especially at I.ouisvillo, Memphis, Sav annah and Atlanta, and at New Orleans trade is more active, rice being especi ally strong, and money in good demand. The enormous receipts of wheat Lave de- 1 pressed prices. The exports continue large, but tho belief is growing that foreign crops are not quite so short as has been reported, though short enough to cause au unprecedented demand from this country. Thus the price of wheat has fallen 5$ cents during the past week, with sales of only 22,000,000 bushels. The fall since the highest point in August has been 16 cents at New York and 49 cents in Chicago, and this week there has been a semi-panic abroad, as the new crop presses heavily upon markets overloaded with American purchases. Corn declined but little, and oats only 1 ceut. Pork products are higher, and oil about 5 cents lower. The great industries are making satis factory progress. The weekly out put of iron September Ist was 170,846 against 169,576 last- month, and at the same date last year 171,776 tons. The financial outlook is clearer. While the shipments of gold from Europe were not strictly upon an exchange basis, the rate of sterling exchauge has fallen to $4.83f during the week, and the exports of merchandise from New Y.irk for the past two weeks have exceeded those of the same week last year by more than 50 per cent, while in imports there appears a decrease of about 20 per cent. The government has paid out over ten million dollars for bonft not extended, and fur ther disbursements on the same account aro expected, though the treasury is re stricting other payments for the time ns far as possible. The opening of Germany and Denmark to American pork products has lifted the price of pork a half dollar per barrel. With the greatest crops every grown, and an unprecedented foreign demand for grain and meat, the prospect must be considered unusually encouraging. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the past week number for the United States 167; Canada 27. Total, 214, against 217 last week. KOLB’S VICTORY. Governor Jones’ Appointment Did Not Hold. A Montgomery, Ala., dispatch says: On September Ist Governor Jones ap pointed Hector D. Lane as commissioner of agriculture on the expiration of the term for which R. F. Kolb was appoint ed two years ago. The last legislature passed a law making the office of com missioners cf agriculture elective, and provided that a commissioner of agricul ture shall be elected at the next election. Kolb’s attorneys claimed that the law making the commissionership elective, which states that it repeals all laws in conflict therewith, repealed tho law au thorizing the governor to fill the time be tween the expiration of Kolb’s term and the time at which the first elected com missioner would take his seat, December, 1892. THE CONTEST FILED. Lane demanded the possession of the office and Kolb refused it, on the ground that the governor had no right to appoint. Lane then broimht suit before Judge Randolph, of The Montgomery probate court, and the case was argued for two days by some of the best lawyers of the state. THE DECISION RENDERED. On Wednesday Judge Randolph ren dered his decision, citing tho old and new law. He declared that the enact ment of the new law repealed the old law, and such repeal made the appoint ment of Mr. Lane to succeed Kolb void. The effect of the decision is that Kolb was appointed commissioner of agricul ture to serve until the appointment and qualification of his successor, and that* Kolb will continue to discharge the du ties of the office. The attorneys for Mr. Lane will carry the case to the supreme -.court, which meets in November. Movement of Specie. The exports of specie from the port ot New York duting the week ended Sept. 12th, amounted to $717,752, of which $20,232 was gold, and $697,520 silver. All the silver and $14,627 in gtdd went to England, and $5,783 in gold went to South America. The imports of speeie duriug the week amounted to $65,365, of which $23,471 was gold, aud $42,895 was silver. Reminiscence of the War. A*large turtle, bearing upon its upper shell the inscription “A. H. N., First Illinois Cavalry, 1861,” was captured the other day in a pond at Liuwood Lawn farm, near Lexington,-Mq., and theshell preserved. In August, 1801, part of Marshall’s company of Union troops, be longing to the First Illinois Cavalry, was camped at Lin wood Lawn, and the inscription was no doubt made by one of these troopers. ANOTHER WHEAT CIRCULAR Calling Upon the Farmers to Hold Back. A dispatch from St. to a Chicago morning paper says: Farmers’ Alliance leaders in Minnesota and North and South Dakota liuve resolved upon another at tempt to stop the tremendous flow of wheat to the markets. The alliance, therefore, on Monday t began mailing from its headquarters a million of letters to farmers, calling a halt along the line. The letter states that the new Wheat Growers’ Association and alliance secre taries all over the country are unanimous that wheat is bound to sell as high as $1.50, and possibly $3 per bushel, and they are unanimous in this warning to farmers not to sacrifice their wheat and give the speculators all the profit there is in it. The letter says the crop is being greatly overestimated by the newspapers and grain dealers. It is said at the headquarters of tho Farmers’ Alliance press bureau of information, in Washington, that the circular letter above referred to simply conveys infor mation relative to the condition of the wheat crops of the world, which officers of the bureau say is such as must result in an increase of prices iu the American product. The object of the bureau is to put information into the’ hands of pro ducers in order to .enable them to take ad vantage of existing conditions, and reap the benefit of any increase in price themselves, rather than let their products go to middlemen, who, it is asserted, aro now buying wheat, and wifi sell it later on at an advanced price. The circular referred to is not an official, document of the alliance, but merely a letter of infor mation, intended not only for the benefit of members of the alliance, but for farmets everywhere. The circular bears the caption, “Facts Worth Money,” and its first paragraph says: “We have hit upon a plan of advertis ing the state by showing our ability to make for the farmers in this country a few hundred million dollars, trusting that there fire enough sensible and decent peo ple among them, to swell our circulation to such proportions that we would receive the propel reward for our expense and trouble. This idea was the origin of our now fa mous wheat circular, of whicli wo sent out over a million about two months ago, and whi h has started a discussion about the breadstuff supply that has helped, to the extent of many million dollars, even those who through iguorance or necces sity, threw tln-ir <*rain prematurely into the hands of speculators. We is ue this treatise on the wheat question in the same enormous numbers again, and request in the first place, all secretaries of the alli ance to distribute them promptly and have special meetings called to discuss them. THE OFFER REFUSED. Ryan’s Creditors Will Not Ac cept the Thirty Cents. a New iork dispatch says: There will be no compromise with Ryan’s creditors at thirty cents on the dollai and probably not for anything near that figure. It was expected that the offer of 80 cents would have been accepted Friday, hut it was rejected almost unan imously. This created great surprise, and inquiry as the cause of their refusal developed a live sensation. A meeting of the Ryan creditors was called Friday afternoon to consider Ryan’s proposition to settle at 30 cents on the dollar. Three hundred thousand dollars of claims were represented by the- credi tors present. A few of the credi tors present "expressed them selves as being willing to accept the compromise offered, but the majority positively refused. This created con siderable surprise, as it had been the talk that the compromise would be accepted by all. The meeting adjourned with the above result, . and inquiry began to be made as to the cause of the refusal of the dffer by the creditors. It developed that Ryan’s Atlanta competitors in the dry goods business had a hand in the case. Several of Atlanta’s large dry goods dealers spent some time iu New York during the past month, aud have been, naturally enough, doing all in their power to defeat the compromise. They say that if the compromise was made and the Ryan stock put on the Atlanta market at bankrupt prices it would mean ruin for their fall trade. They have been openly a work, aud to them may be attributed the failure of the compromise. They bought large‘bills of goods from some of the'iargest of Ryan's creditors, with the understanding that they were not to accept Ryan’s offer. This was done with dealers who repre sented a large amount of the claims aud this in itself practically nipped the compromise in the bud. But it is said they went further iu order to make sure of the rejee ment of the offer made by Ryan, aud they are reported to have brought upjquite au amount of the claims at 30 cents oa the dollar. TWO BROTHES LYNCHED. They Killed a Sheriff_Who Was Trying to Arrest Them. A telegram from Somerset, Ky., says: About 1 o’clock Tu slay morning a crowd went to the jail, where the Gilli land brothers were confined oa the charge of assassinating Sheriff McCarque, aud overpowered the guard and forced Jailer Shepherd to give up the keys. The Gillian 1 boys were then taken out to a ravine a short distance west of the city add hanged. No confession could be procured. The boys declared to the la-t that they were innocent. The mob is supposed to have come mostly from Whitely and Laurel couutits, where the sheriff was well known and had many friends. NO. 21.
