Banxku-Mkssengek People are bad*
ly behind with their work in our section,
Not many oats sowed or any breaking
up done. Plenty of measles and nothing
good to eat.
Uro. John Lo worn’s five months-old
baby died recently. We trust the bereav
cd parents are living with the expecta¬
tion of meeting their little babe beyond
the grave.
Two women in our section say they are
glad 0 thoy haven’t married since the war
as they will get $8.20 a month for remain¬

We heard a man say recently that lie
had no use for Larry Gant, the newly as
social,cd editor of the Southern Alliance
Farmer. By the way that’s tlie length of
most all the Gordon or late Northern
boys.
Gov. North in and a. few other Uaitor
Aliiancemen, wo presume by their i(-ceiu
writings, etc., wiil be like America’s tin
tor, Benedict Ann hi was m nis latlci
part of life. We learn from history, etc..
that all the family tradition, etc., goes to
prove that the last years of Benedict Ar¬
nold ware years oi bitter ramorse and
self rcpi'dJ^h. The great name which he
had so gailently won and so wretchedly
lost left him no repose by night or day.
Tlie iron fame which had withstood the
fatigues of so many trying battle fields
and still more trying marches through i
. ,
the wilderness broke down at last uuocr
<h° sle w torture of lost friendship and
merited disgrace, in the last sad days in
Londou iu June, 1801, tho family tradi-1
tion says that Arnold’s mind kept revert- :
ing to his old friendship with Washing -1
ton. J:c. had always earful iy preserved j
the American uniform, which lie wore
cn the day when he made Ins escape to
tlie Vulture, and now broken in spirit
and weary of life, he felt the last mo¬
ments coining, he called for this uniform
and put it on and decorated himself with
the sword, etc., which Washington gave
him after the victory of Saratoga. "Let
medic,” said ho, “in this old uniform in
which I fought my most honored battle.
May God forgive me for ever putting on
any other.”
Wishing the Southern Alliance Farmer
and its editors and Macune and Livings¬
ton success, and hoping that Gov; Nor¬
tho a and his Mansion caucus will be cast
into outer darkness, where there will be
weeping and wailing for lost office, etc.,
I remain,

Ebitok Banxkk- M 1 :sskn(. i'tt:—Nows is
scarce in these parts at this time.
Ihiiny weather is all the go. |
There has been but little farming done i

We have been waiting patienly for some
suitable, oat sowing weather, but it has
f ado d coim , yi3 t.. r \ here would have
been :ur increased amount of oats sown j
this season had there not been so much
rain< kut |t is g,owing s0 ] ato now there
are several of our farmers who will not
make the attempt at all.
Well, 1 guess stock law elections arc at
an end in the Seventh at last. Our people j
ail seem to be w cl) satisfied with the re-i j
suit of the last one. I heard a strong'
,
fence man say that, it was gotten fairly |
and lit; was willing to abide it. |
T he Alliance at Liberty is continuing I
p , grow _ Two initiated last meeting and I
<uu; P® tition reccivod - Tho membera of j
that lodge ordered their guano from ]
headquarters by the car load to be ship¬ !
ped to IS siding. In about six days after j
the ordur was I jlayod thu car was tllore 5 » |
line condition. Wliy not all farmers do j
business in that way? When your com- ! j
munity wants as much as a car load of
guano just all put your amounts together j
and order from headquarters and save the I
agents profit. Don’t you see? This is ;
not all you can do. You can endorse each
others notes making a joint note for the |
whole amount and get it much cheaper !
than you can otherwise. Oh 1 don’t but there's j
afellow, some will say, that I want
to stand for. He wont pay his debts.
Yes there arc some just such fellows as
that, but, did you not know that you are J I
standing good for all such fellows as it is? j !
Let’s see about the old way of buying and
selling guano. There is a community of j
30 farmers wanting a ton of guano apiece. 1
Some good for their contracts and some ]
not so good. Well, here’s the town agent
{] f UV m S h them. He it is that!
discriminates for them. lie says who’s
g ()od a hd who’s bad. Well, what must
] le d<>. Sell to the good ones and let the j
bad oUes g0? oh> llo; that won’t do. He
would have half of tlie good mad j
ones j
with him that way. No, he will do this: j
il e will tack on enough 0:1 his goods above j
first cost to cover all that he is likely to ;
thus and making the !
good ones stand good for the bad ones
without their consent, N"ow, brother
fanners, let’s remedy this evil. Let’s be
a unit in all things. Put our orders to
f , et | ier# making a big one, and get our
o 00( is at the lowers possible figures; en
dorse eac h others notes, do our own dis
cr i n ii n ating, and if we happen to lose one
ton ()f g Uauo ’ Dy j t we w in n ot be a bit
worse c fj than wo would on the other
] iandj f or y m , see wo would getit cheaper,
therefore, we would be better able to lose
it. We do not confine this plan to guano
alone, but to flour and all other heavy
commodities.
We would be glad to show a few more
plain mistakes that we farmers are mak¬
ing that could bo easily remedied, but
space forbids.

FROM COLONEL BROCK.
Mr. Editor: —You are aware that the
Congress of tlie United States now in
session is likely to adjourn without pass¬
ing the free coinage sliver bill. You are
also aware of tlie fa-ct that Ex-Presicient
Cleveland has declared against free coni
age You arc also aware of the fact that I
the southern democrats in Congress vo
ted to a man for the passaK )f tl!0 ll ' ee
coinage bill. You are also V.tare of the
fact that the republicans in Congress,
except a very few, voted against the
passage of the free coinage bill, You are
also aware of the fact that Lie Alliance
in the south, in tlieiv meetings and cou
volitions, have declared in favor of the
free coinage of silver without any limita¬
tion whatever. If tlie above statements
are in the main true, it is not out of
place, and perhaps would benefit some
persons, if this free coinage silver bill is
explained.
What is the unlimited free coinage of
silver, or what would this free coinage
silver liill require tfio coinage mints <>f
tlio United States to do if passed by <\m
gress in its present shape? Its passage
would force this government without
money and without price or cost in any
way or shape to coin into silver
all the silver in tlio world. The man or
men from Mexico, from England, front
France, Spain, Turkey, lfcily, Africa, the
South Ameirean states; in fact, the entire
outside world and governments would
have the same right and could force tlm
American minis to coin their silver dust
or bullion into any size coins that they
might demand and all this done without
any fee, price or charge on the par t or for
the benefit of the American people. The
nations of the earth would absolutely
have the same right to come to the Atnor
.ican coinage mints and demand and have
their silver dollars on an equality With
t)uip(iop5eo{thi s American gover nment.
1 sav this policy on the part of our gov
eminent would he wrong, it is not right
to force tins government to coin the sil
ver of other nations without any compen
sati(>1) The n . ltious of tille „ avt i 1 . _ if th ; B
free coinage bill was passed in its present
sbape and the 1;IW of Ul js govennnent
W()uld WUJ „ as 800 „ as tljcy C0 „U1 reach
our mi nts, have their silver coined into
dollan| ai)( , at once place thpm illt() tlicir
silver bags and ship them back to their
own governments for their c>wn benefit.
I do not like to see our people so kind, so
benevolent and sopaukuie as to wish
our government, and actua lly to force our
peop]e to look for and C( in tlie si!vcl . of
the world without any charge whatever.
The republican party is in favor of the
increase of the circulation. The repnb
liean party in the last or s immer session
voted for and passed a silie.i bill which
is now the law, requiring tin Secretary of
Treasury to purchase silver bullion to the
amount of S-b',00 > per month • 8'4,000,
000 per year, which law requires 1 h Sec¬
retary to issue silver certificates to the
same amount, which are paid out to the
owners of the silver bullion. Those silver
certificates are a legal tender in payment
for all debts whatever and are really a
better money than either gold or silver—
more convenient to carry and handle.
TMs silvorhill v , as voted . lgailist by ev¬
ery southern democratic representative
and stiil they say they want more money
put into circulation. Where is their con
sistency? What do they mean by such
legislative acts? They talk for more
money and vote against the passage of a
'
]aw ^ piyes Qr puta intp cireuiatioil
foi ty-fi ve million per year added to the
present circulation. The entire out put
of the American silver mines of tlie Unit
cd State for the year 1890 were fifty mil
lion dollars. Its commercial value was
about sixty-five million. So we see that
the silver bill passed by the republican
congress at the summer session, which
was opposed by the southern democratic
representatives, actually utilized and put
into circulation about the entire amount
of silver taken from the American mines.
What more could a fair minded Ameri¬
can citizen ask? It is my opinion that
the free coinage of A me: ican silver is as
far as our people and government should
go. Such a policy on tj*v part of our gov¬
ernment perhaps lie wise. But
the policy that womb; force the Ameri¬
can government, to eoi.j the silver of the
outside world would l unjust and un¬
wise as a stable financial policy for this
government to pursue. The time has not
yet come for the free and unlimited coil ‘
age on the part of the "nited States of the
silver of the outside world. Therefor;, I
say that Ex-Presidon < ioyeland was right
financially, w r Juai he endorsed the policy
()1 ~ t j !e i-epublicau ♦arty on this silver
measure. The pi e rent session of
gross has just passed a bill that refunds
to the state of Georgia §117,000 which
was illegally collet ted from the state dur¬
ing the war. This bill was supported by
the entire repaid can representatives,
far as I am able to learn, and was opposed
by the entire Gt wgia deligation. What
does such aetioi on the part of our rep¬
resentation mea 1 ? Do we not need the
money? I think we do to stop to that
extent our state taxes. If that is the
kind of representatives we have in Con¬
gress I am wil'ing to let the Alliance see
what they can and will do.
