Cimtinnn from first iap
of tin community, and for
that reason alone, you should
Hot undertake to Ik? a politi
cal party. I see many indica
tion! of .hat tendency which
give me midi concern. In the
rieighboi Uyr State- of South
Carol it. a then? is a contest'
raging which, as it looks to
mo, ran only have the result
of putting that State hack
Under African rule. This too,
among men who profess to
ngroo upon nil matters of
principle. Iet us hope that
we may avoid such danger
ous and unseemly contests in
our State. I trust much to
you, my dear sir, and to the
conservatism, goo sense,
moderation and patriotism
of the farmers of North Caro
lina, to avoid the taking of
any position or the doing of
anything that would prevent
the democrats who are in the
Alliance and the democrats
who are not in th Alliance
from working together for
prin?iples which are common
and for interests that are
general, with that harmony
which bo triumphantly brou
ght us out of the house of
bondage in the period from
1870 to 1870, and w hich has
in so great a measure restor
ed our State to a reasonable
degree of prosperity andcred
it. Let us not imitate the
conduct of the Jews when
their sacred city w as besieg
ed by the Roman armies, w ho
fought their enemies with in
credible valor all day, and
fought each othei w ith incred
ible fury all night. Let us,
on the contrary, stand to
gether and fight our com
mon enemies day and night.
Let us strive for a reduction
of taxation on the necessa
ries of life for a reduct ion of
the expenditures of the gov
ernment for an increase of
the currency and the price of
farm products by the free
coinage of silver and the res
toration of its full legal ten
der character for a repeal
of the tax upon State banks
for the regulation of trans
portation rates by railroad
commissions, and last, but
not least, let us earnestly con
end against the centraliza
tion which is constantly
threatening to absorb the lo
cal self-government of the peo
pie of the States.
Very trnly yours,
Z. B. Vance.
If anyone now doubts that
the devil is doing gjood work
in this city let them go and

two thousand within a mile

heard a sermon in a month.
