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¬ ing single. 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, Unci.ic Ned.

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. Success to the Baxneu-Messenoei:. SruscnnjKK. 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. W; Eaocii. B Py tsf n 0.1.
