ALLIANCE TALKS. NEWS OF THE ORDER FROM ALL SECTIONS. Items of Interest to Alliance men Everywhere. No AUianceman can afford to sit still. There is an important work for all. Let overy one strive to carry the torch of lib¬ erty to the darkened hearthstone of his neighbor,’that he may see the chains of bondage that the “Educate plutocracy and are forging for his limbs. agitate” are the watchwords of the hour. *** The North Carolina Slate Alliance, at its recent meeting, unanimously adopted the following: Resolved, That it is the sense of the State Alliance iu session assembled, that every man standing for office in the gift of this body, to-wit: President, Secre¬ tary, Lecturer, delegates and alternates to the National Council declare or define their position on the Ocala platform; and further, that we will not support any man or set of men for these positions who does not stand, unconditionally and un¬ deservedly, upon said platform in its en¬ tirety. *** “There is nothing in the Alliance movement at which any honest man or organization need be alarmed. It does not propose to make war upon any legiti¬ mate interest. “Equal justice to all and special The privileges its to none” is its motto. character of membership would be sufficient guarantee of the rectitude of its intentions, iu the absence of a posi¬ tive declaration of its objects. It is composed of as honest, hard-working people as the sun shines on. No people can possibly be interested in good gov¬ ernment more than the farmers. None feel the effects of an unwise policy more quickly. their And they cannot afford to fight friends.”— Webster's Weekly. At a recent meeting of Line Creek Al¬ liance. Etowah county, Ala., the follow¬ ing resolu'ions were passed: “Resolved, That whereas Colonel Millner, of Bir¬ mingham; Colonel W. H. Benson, of Gadsden, and Senator Norwood, of Geor¬ gia, manifested much interest in behalf of the Farmers’ Alliance, by suggesting their respective plans for financial relief as demanded by the alliance, be it there¬ fore Resolved, That, while this alliance does not fully endorse their suggestions as a substitute for the plans formulated and endorsed by our national organiza¬ tion, at Ocala, Fla., v e tender to them our high appreciation *of their efforts to aid ns in solving the great financial problems now agitating the public mind.” *** FOUR MILLION STRONG. In every quarter of every section, at stated periods, the farmers meet behind closed doors. Why? To battle out the evil genius of originated capital which heretofore concentrated its forces and thwarted every effort of the people. In the cities of our country more than one million organized laborers go regiularly to their secret councils. Their only in¬ spiration is a hope for a better future. Who will insist that the American people are not confronted with threat¬ ening condition? The people realize this condition, and each we.ek, behind closed doors, at least two mil'ion free men meet to deplore the sit¬ uation and study means of relief for the suffering masses. The people are think¬ ing seriously and independently. Amer¬ ican individuality has never before been so ably asserted by the masses. The people are moving on in progression, leaving behind the party politicians desolation. of old, staid ways to groan in The united voices of millions proclaim defies a grievance. Their earnestness a worid of scorn. Give them a serious con¬ sideration; judge justly of their cause, amd act honorably on your conclusions.— Southern Allianee Farmer. * * * THE DANGER. The Alliance (Tallahassee, Fla.) under the above caption,sounds a note of warn ing in the following trite editorial: As a devoted and humble advocate of the. Alliance cause, this paper will not hesitate to speak out whenever the wel fare of the order demands it, nor tail to sound a note of warning when there is danger to be encountered. A serious danger now confronts the brotherhood in regard to premature action towards the “Feojjles’ party.” undue Under the grievous weight of oppression, the masses, in localities wfiere the most investigation has been given to the situation, have become thor oiighly aroused and restive. the Some bit. God are feverishly champing upon taxed knows that their patience has been beyond endurance, and far be it from us to indulge one harsh word towards them; our heart beats in responsive sympathy withthem. But prudence is the better part of valor. We have no mean adver sary to fight, but are confronted by a powerful foe. We cannot hope for sue cess so long as we feed the enemy, or by makiug Nothing our is defenses invite his attack, sititm more than pleasing be to the herald oppo press to able to abroad that a certain sub-Alliance or county Alliance, or some prominent Alii anceman has pronounced for the People’s party. We are informed that the parti tan politicians from both of the old par ties have sent emissaries into our order to agitate and to precipitate immediate ac tion in favor of the People’s party. The objecc being to divide our forces, and then by massing, attack us in detail with our. column broken. We must guard against this, and remember that “United we stand, divided we fall.” Separate and independent action is the fatal ditch to be shunned. tjTe must stand by our officers and trust in them with implicit oorifideno *. We have placed should them upon the watch-tower, and we wait for them to cry out “What of the night?” When their commands are given, we should obey them as the trained soldier does his general. * * * FRATEKNAL GREETINGS. The North Carolina Alliance, at its re* cent session, sent the following greeting to the brethren of the North and North¬ west: “liuving turned our bucks upon the issues of the dead past, we hence forih look resolutely, earnestly and hope fully to the future, determined of liviug upon issues the >iiseusaiou and settlement involving the rights, liberty and proper ty of the people. We clasp your hands, brethren, hands fraternally and patrioti ■ ally extended to us, and standing bold ly and firmly upon the Ocala demands, we will move unitedly and hopefully te the rescue of our country from the hand( of the spoiler, that we may restore the government to the people, for whose sole good it was instituted and to whom it rightfully belongs.” Commenting on the above, the Pro gressive Farmer , among other things, says: The above resolution was unani mously adopted by the North Carolina State Alliance at its recent meeting at Morehead. That body was composed of representative North Carolinians, chosen by the members of our order, from everv county in the State. Similar expressions liances were given out by each of the State Al of the South. All of these adopted similar resolutions in 1890. And herein lies the hope and strength of our order. Fraternity and unity be tween the great industrial elements of the country, without regard to sectional differences or divisions, is the sheet an chor of our safety, not only as an or uanization, but as a people. * * * Much concern is manifested by a cev tain class of partisan papers in the South at the appearance fu our miJst of certain Alliance representatives of our Northern brethren. Much indiscreet, not to say unjust, criticism has been indulged, and in some instances gross misrepresentation of these brethren has appeared in their columns. It has been charged that they came here at the instance of certain national officials. The above resolution is sufficient warrant for the action of our State authorities in inviting them here. We are kindly glad they came. We are proud of the and fraternal reception so cordially extended to them by our peo dle. We hope they will continue to come and in increased numbers. It will do us all good. * * * WHISKEY VS. SUB-TREASURY. The report of the Commissioner shows that on June 30, 1889, there were 4,576 registered distilleries, and 4,349 were in operation. The amount of grain used was 20,990,024 bushels, and the number of gallons of spirits produced was 87,- 887,456. The annual expense of taking care ol this branch of internal revenue service was fully $2,600,000. The aver¬ age amount of spirits warehoused for the past three years is about 66,000,000 held for over due taxes, making in the whole about 73,500,000 gallons paid. upon The which taxes have not been amount of this tax would be $66,150,000. The above facts are given simply to show what our government has done and is doing for a class of its citizens, and by reference to inquire why it should not extend similar privileges, only in a much less complicated form, to the agricul¬ tural classes of the country? The sub¬ treasury plan asks far less of the govern¬ ment than is now granted to the distill¬ ers. As it is, the deposit of spirits car remain in the warehouse for three years, during which time the government cares for it at a cost of $2,600,000 per year, oi $7,800,000 for the legal term. That is, the government really advances in Bala ries, etc., $7,800,000 before a legal de mand could be made for the tax. The distiller has nothing to pay for the gov ernment employes, he only pays 90 cents per gallon. When spirits are put in tht warehouse a bond is given for the pay ment of the tax, and certified copy of the whole transaction is given the distiller, Tins copy of the deposit is good collat eral security at any bank, and today obtained fully $70,000,000 of credit currency is upon this class of securities, snd why not) q^e bond assures the payment of the tax, and the government is the custodian of the property. The ageing of the liquor pays the interest, a ] 80 w hcn it is sold the dealer pays the tax. In this manner the distillers ob tain the use of this vast amount of monej absolutely free. Is it unfair to ask thai the farmer may have equal privileges w itff the distiller? Is not the farmei worthy of as much consideration from the government? Why cannot the far mer s be permitted to take his grain to government warehouses for care and keeping? The distiller is allowed to do so after the grain has been into spirits. The banks have a credit -with the . government of over $200, 000,000 that returns them : profit. The distilleries a credit 0 f $70,000,000 that cost them nothing. Why cannot the farmer have a credit that he is willing to pay for? The sub-treasurv plan contemplates the same line of legislation, only much less compli cated and far more satisfactory. The game statutory laws that govern the ware housing of spirits, with but few amend merits. would apply to the sub-treasury system. The innovation upon law and custom would cut no figure. It violates no organic law and establishes no new ■precedents. There are 4,349 registered distillery warehouses, which is more, than double the numb“r of sub-treasuries that would be required to carry out the sub-treasurv conducting plan for many years. The cost of them certainly could be no more. Here is found a syBtem already in force, that with few amend igeptSj would meet the requirements of the sub-treasury plan. The the proposed plan is therefore, taken out of prov¬ ince of theory, and becomes simply a question of application. and their demands The people demand its trial, are sure to he heeded in the end .—Alliance Farmer. A PROGRAMME ARRANGED For the National Alliance Meeting at Indianapolis. An Indianapolis dispatch say*: The State Farmers’alliance met in secret ses sion Thursday, with eighty-one delegates present. The following prog!amine for the meeting of the National alliance was adopted: Tuesday, November On the first day, 17th, the address of welcome will be de livered at Tomlinson hali by Mayor Sul¬ livan and President Force, of the State alliance, and ihu response will be by J.

SHIP CONTRACTORS FAIL. A Large Ship Building Firm at Boston in Trouble. A Washington dispatch of Monday says: The navy department has been informed of the failure of Harrison, Lor ing &Co., ship builders, at Boston, who have contracts for the construction of the armored cruiser No. 11, at $674,000, with a premium for speed, and three steel tug-boats at $32,500 each, but as yet has not determined its course in the matter. The cruiser is about half finished, and the tugs are about four-fifths finished. It is said at the department that the govern¬ ment is amply protected by the bond of the contractors, which is more than suf¬ ficient to insure the co.. pletion of the vessels. The only question to be deter¬ mined is as to whether this shall be done by the government or by the assignees: The latter course is the most probable one. It is also stated at the department that there has been no delay whatever in the ■matter of the payments to Harrison, Loring & Co., and that all their applica¬ tions for payments have been promptly honored so far as progress of the work € performed is justified. The real cause of the failure thought to lay in the fact that they undertook to perform naval work at too low a price. THE TEST SATISFACTORY. Exhibition of Type Setting Machines at Chicago. The private test of tpye setting machines held in Chioago, under the auspices of the committee of Association, the American closed Newspa¬ Satur per Publisher’s day night. The test was very satisfactory in many respects, and the report of the committee will give the newspaper the pub lishers a definite idea as to work which can be done by the various ma chines. For three hours during the fore noon the machines were worked by mem bers of the typographical union, who had never before seen them, to show the ca pacity of beginners who are practical printers, and for three hours in the after noon they were worked also by girls fa miliar with the Remington typewriter keyboard to ascertain what could be done upon the machines by those who are suddenly proved called upon to operate satisfactory, them, all of which highly The machines will be exhibited to news paper publishers and the public, and the indications are that a large number of newspaper men from all parts of the United States will visit Chicago to see the machines and also to inspect the cold process of stereotyping, will be on exhi tfition also. - FLORIDA AT CHICAGO. ___ Arrangements Made for an Appropriate Exhibit at the Great Fair.
