When a man grows rich from the income
of a country newspaper he deserves to-be
.called the best- business man.in the world,
i’. S. We a>e not easily flattered.
A great deal is being said .about what
newspapers ought to do for the people. It
now and then -might be proper to hiut
•that the people ought to do something for
■the newspaper.
John Wanaxakee, the great clothing
prince of Philadelphia, carries the heaviest
insurance policy issued to any man in A
jmerica. It is for one million of dollars and
it costs $60,000 a year to keep it up.
An exchange says : Sam Jones advises
,
wives to threaten to quit their husbands
if they don’t vote the prohibition ticket;
and says if there were more grass widows
in the country it would make prohibition,
gain’s friends should put ice to his head.
Evidently there is something wrong with it.
It is said that the State farmers’ Al_
liance will choose out of the Alliance
papers in the state one which will be
anade the official organ for the order in
(Georgia. The Advocate, published at
Montezuma, will likely bo selected, since
.it is strictly and altogether an Alliance
paper.
The Bronwood Ilepartcr says: “The
jfvuoxvilfe (Oa.) Journal is a bright arid
.entertaining paper, and deserves a liberal
support from the peop! o of ‘Jrawforcl
.county.”
We were thinking the very same thing

Koxvini.le, Zebulon and Fayetteville
.are all old county sites whose legitimate
.trade territory has been taken from them •
and controlled by their move fortunate j
.neighbors on the railroads. For years the
people in these three sections have been
contributing towards the building up of I
other towns. But at last the day has come
when these things must change. We have
a broad guaged, well equipped railroad of
.our own, by means of which we will be
able to make our towns trade centers for
the territory which should have belonged
them before. We leave those with whom
we have dealt, entertaining ouly kindest
feelings towards them and best wishes for
their success ; but our individual interests
find the interests of our several comrnnities
demaud that we build up a controlling
trade of our own, and this w.e can and will
do. Those who have managed our custom
we stilt wish well, but the time and
opportunity ba re oorne when we can and
tpust work for .ourselves.

Tbe.peopie of this country might not
make war on the high tariff if the gov¬
ernment alone reaped the benefit of it.
As it is, a few of the wealthy are petted by
the government almost entirely at the ex¬
pense of the hard,working. po»r. Monopoly
is fostered, and disarinuuaitiou in made
against the toilers under these laws.
The Labor Probleiu Discussed.
Below is an article written by Mr. E.
S. Murphy, of Tike county, which first
appeared,in the Alliance .Advocate :
■“We have no labor system, no reliable
labor. There is nothing in the way of
farm work that iB done satisfactorily, or
that ^results in profit lo the landlord. All
of this is the result of out failure to he
organised. Our dependencies brought us
jit the mercies other business classes, and
between these and ?tbe negro, the ueg.ro
has done us the most harm. .Nearly all of
our troubles .'have grown out of this labor
question ; the burdens of which we com¬
plain is but the result of our imperfect and
labor system, from which the
merchant has suffered nearly as much in¬
directly as we have. \Ye have asked the
merchant to Jiclp us, and he has done so
at his own risk, and about as cheap as he
could afford under the systems of the
country for which you are responsible, and
not the merchant. The \\;ay in which we
have sought his .help has been in a way
unsatisfactory to him hut he has done it
and taken the risk, and the consequences
that nine out of ten have failed. The
ol the farmer has ruined him, lie
has never appreciated benefits of organ¬
ization, and in no other way could lie have
seen so eloarlv his errors, and so easily
coreected them as by' united effort. The
farmer of today can’t have rules of his own,
differing from fuse of his neighbors, ns he
could before the war—then it was tint
each farm could have systems and enforce
them without being affected by the rules
of neighboring farms, all of which now is
very different. We must have uniformity
in rules if we would hive.system and order
prevail. This labor question in my opin¬
ion is one of the most important with
which the alliance must d al if it will
alleviate the troubles of the fanner! We
must strike at the cause, of our troubles if
we are to be relieved of them, Remove
the cause and the troubles will remove
themselves. I think most of the troubles
from which we are suffering today age
traceable to the lack of labor system. If
we can’t control our farm operations then
wo must indeed fail. Whenever the cm
ploye controls mill dictates to the employer
failure is the inevitable result. Let’s reg¬
ulate the price of labor and hire none but
regular hands fur the year. Break up this
day labor system—it is unsatisfactory and
will always be unreliable, it encourages
crime and idleness, the labor is not em
ployed more than half of tlie year. By all
means abolish from ti.e face of the sunny
South has this ruined iniquitous labor negro tenant the system.
It our and country.
The negro as a tenant is a failure. Tlie
reasons me staring you in the face. So
there is no need to explain why: There
is no pride his only nor aspiration ambition in is the negro in
tenant; to get a
condition where bo cannot be forced to
work. You can never make anything out
of the negro only as a Rand under your
supervision.
Take these questions iuto consideration,
Alliancemen; think and act upon them,
and reform will liave commenced.
