But hi mau uin editor should be kicked across the floor of his print shop. We take ex ceptions to the alleged report of the Greensboro exercises wherein Major Guthrie is assailed in this manner. x "At 2 o'clock a reunion of Con f derate soldiers was held in the paviilio ;, and they were addressed by Major Guth rie, who had the very bud taste to make a third party speech, although he was addressing men of all parties. It was a most unexpected and uncalled for incident and a great deal of indignation v;is aroused by it.1 ; In the first place Major Guthrie never made a third party speech. The iss who said he made a third party speech was troubled with the night mare. Major-Guthrie did say that the third party, which was in session its he spoke, showed what freedom hsid done -what si boon it was to he free of ty- rant king. It was a fittincr illus trationit was - what any man with a full and honest heart would have said. At the time the major was speaking he saw the vast assemblage in Omaha a party of people of all sections, gathered together there for the common purpose as they supposed of righting their wrongs and causing legislation .which would help them jail, and the major -saw in that meeting what any man with brains wonl.l have seen : The rights of a sovereign. No priest-ridden or king-ridden crowd was that. It was free tluught and five speech and free every t Ii in g no chance to discount the id -a because the men there had a think tank with them and they were using it. . the trouble is and will be for a long time yt, there are cheap chumps who wan1, ueumcnitic speecne. I i ail is not (leniocriiiic Uiey at once sre an enemy- - suuu Nu; "Hsiness ironi alar and to use a mild expression, hell is to pay. ,nst how long such uliocy will hold in this country we do not know. But we do know that just as long as it does hold this country will not he what it 'l.l lit i i ol nerwise womu ne-anu we propose to fiiv Jin'ie. i.i Mini a iiiiuir, we are told, as bt ing priest-ridden. Deni- oracy-ridden or republican-ridden or any kml or ridden, business is not what vve want. There should he some com mon senseaised. It is just as impor tant now as it was years ago. 1 liis country hangs to the tradi tions of thirty cars ago and the first man who utters an original thought is branded as an enemy. Guthrie is not sin exception. He thinks and expresses an opinion and because he does some cheapscribblersjuniphim. Had Guth rie howled sind yelled for the democra tic ticket the Observer chump would- have-praised him. But he did not. And here is the deduction: Mnjoi Guthrie was invited to deliver an address. We have a report, coining from a Confederate soldier and one who saw the red smoke of battle and he says that Guthrie's speech was fine' that it made many friends for the major and that no man was other than pleased and highly pleased with it; that it waslo the point and all this iiiid that.

Itypij have no objection, Mr. Ed itor, I will; cuss thc new fandangled People's party platform. I won't say anything against the nominees of that party for I hear that they are-both good men. j Biit that platform! Bah! Itis too utterly too too for anything. Those O m alia statesmen evidently didn't know what they went there for. They start out in the first plank and declare that national banks are all out of place in a big country like this. As they say over tn Stanly , county, "that be awful, we reckon." If Tom Jeffer son, Pat Calhoun, Tom Benson or Jerry Simpson had been there that would seem more .reasonable. But just think! American citizens meet together and vow that national banks are a luxury and that as 'so few of our jeople can indulge in them, they think it well enoughtto ak the government to issue money, sit cot4 in sufficient quantity to do the -business of the country. No one but an old fogy like Jefferson would indulge in such litera ture as that, But 1 believe our State democratic plalform h;fs such a plank in it, though the Chicago platform got sick and left before they got it in. People 'who own national banks ought to kick the saiisage meat out of the fellows who declared against their bus iness Without waiting for their dinner to ssttle down the. jOmaha mob went on and vowed that the country would hsive free coinage: of silver just like" it wa1 ever since Zeb Vance discovered America up to 1873. Now what do you think Jefferson would say about that? Now it was a bold trick for the' Omaha folks to vow that, when he democrats and rspubheans both said it wouldn't do. The very next hing they have done wan to vow that he 'Circulating niedium, whatever that bat i--, I e increased to $50 per capita imiMcdiutelv or sooner. W e who are d enough to rememU r know that I he ivr capital wiis about that huge l.e- jore the war.

Tne Alliance 'papers say that the dem i - . . . . ocrats squeeze it as tight as I lie repub licans, that may be raise, but 1 no tice our platform don't declarengainst it and our Congressmen don't vote to htop the squeezing process, and when we fanners complain .about cotton not bringing but i cents1 a pound and wheat only 81 pi'i bushel or corn only 40 cents, the democratic papers and other smart folks tell us that we are infernal fools for making so much 'tuff an v how. I have made up my mind that we are darn fools. We should go fishing every other year and not raise any crop smd let all the peo ple go without clothes and grub, for a goo I many do anyhow. But we far mers are sdl fools for allowing our selves to be impbsed upon. I believe I will buy a gatlihg gun and kill every havsceder in America, then get an Italian anarchist to come over and blow me up'with dynamite. The next think the Omaha mob done was to vow that we onghtto have a graduated income tax. In that way if a man accumulates over $30,000 or 100,000 doll ais he is taxed so high that he cant get much richer. He pays the balance to the government and keeps we poor devils from paying much indirect tax. Those of us who are-worth a -hundred thousand dollars, bv s-ellino- farm .products below ( osf ,'nin' it to torm a vijrilance com- '"'"I o . mittee and lyiicii tne chuiks iai want to push that law on us. The very next thing they done wits to vow that the government should reclaim the great Pacific railroad smd other lines that corrupt congressman have pittered away to j themselves and !ArwlW l-A congressmen are i - 1 1 II - 1 L ., I IJfcUvTJ. T V l I 1 hir""e owners of railroad sind bank stock) ami conduct them in the inter est of therpeople, as the mail is now. They also include telegraph and tele phone wiivs in that. Here is how that would work; It costs at present, 2.00 to send a telegram of ten words from San Francisco to New York. The mail carries a letter for two cents. It costs the government twice sis much to carry Unit letter and pay for carry in" it as it does the telegraph com pany to convey the message. bo there is Sl4)S cenb into somebody's pocket, and it U not the m;n; who sends tlie telegram that gets it. j It is est i ma! til that the gqvenuuent could, make money on the railroads and not charge more than half as much passenger and freight fare as is now paid. ' . . Be sis it may, those Omaha fellows have "gone and done it." They have thrown a bomb into the camp,' and we politicians must get a hump on us if we excct to fool the people this year.

Some are storms that God sends tipou us, and some come "in our Alliance meetings. But I ssiy hurrah for Cleveland, Harrison and Weaver. We, the people of Hatter Shop Alli ance, expect to stand on the platform that was adopted for the interest of the people. I do not know much about it, but sis long as it has a solid post or plank it Twill stand on it. We are working now for the interest of the laboring people,, who, of course, must feed all who are so hard down against us. We farmers labor hard in our corn, cotton, wheat, etc., but I iirniginerr that some of these big politicians work harder than we do. But it is in their political crops. , Times are hard and money scarce. But we Ciin find a nickel every once and awhile. We are bound to stop this wild career, or they will stop us entirely. Theway times are now a man or boy can work hard all day and steal hard all night -and then can't make an honest living. Look-and see that what I say is correct and I can give a little experience on some other things. When I first began to walk between the plow 'handles I loved it more than I do now. But of course there is ii little laziness mixed with it now. But them times wheifit would rain we would quit work smd live easy and when it gut too hot we would hunt a shade tree. But now we must work rain or shine, hot or cold. But ii bright and happy day awaits us. We want relief, we hope for relief, we look for relief and we are going to have relief. Well I would like to go hunting with Jake Warner a few times. I would go by myself tmt I am out of shot and powder and caps woijld not hurt but they might scare.

Mr. Editor:--For want rf onie-v thing to do tliH desperate-'-dripping weather I though I wouldjnvo you a few items in ind aground here. ...'- V We have .been 'having a great deal'of rait, and I fear if it continues, for !! any length of time tlie 'fanners will losef their wheat in the fields as there fs- considerable the present crop yet in tlie field. '" " We were visitejil last week Tjy an other agent, this time by .onu wbo . iyT-tcio-x:ll & jpatst - quiltir.g raaV)-. chine, lie wantetl to sell eight coun-1 ties at 810() each and wanted to' give some prominent iJia'f;'f0Oi worth of . stock in the t hingj n order to get hint to ride through tlie country . and use his 'influence- iu fleecing the ansrftir pecting. Why Is H tk'SCoilttlongueii agents, and so many without principle. go to the farmer iii preference tdotner- classes in order to swindlo him out of' his hard- earned; dollar.- Every few weeks we hear of some farmers being swindled by clocks stove, wiro fence or-' agents for something elseT paying the . agent at least twice as mudifor their wares as the same articles could b bought -for in Salisbury or any other town, and then in case the purchase should not he what it was recommended " they luivo the privilege of returning it .and having their mouey refundeil. I have been dealing with all classes of people in Salisbury , for more thai?-., thirty years smd have never had one to wrng me of what was due, and witlt one or two exceptions have never sus tained any loss from promises to payc. This is saying mueh, inasmuch as our dealings have beenvery extensive, aa we let all agents iiass on. Don't let them get the get the chance of fleec ing us, and I think if each farmer would keep a vicious dog, one that'didi not like an agerit-and let it be known, he would not be the worse by it. T don't wish it understood that 1 have no confidence in any agents, for. there aro exceptions. In speaking of agents I only have reference to such as travel from house to house through the country. The name of agents they are hardly entitled to, swiiidlers would be the proper name. . It stppears sit this time if wo had a 1 few days fair weather and rain at in tervals for the next tvventy days tliat we will be able to gather one of the best 'corn crops that has been made iii" this sect ion for years, and unless wheat is greatly damaged in the 'shock the average will he nearly its good as hist year. While some lields Ifave a thin- ' stand on the ground the head is full and holds a plump grain. Other fields, have a medium amount of straw and grain not so good. The oat crop is not. so good in quality but there has been such si large sicrcage of that grain sown that there will perhaps be the- - largest crop that l.as been harvested in, many years. Xl:e cotton crop w$it fall short one half this year of what it Wiis last with evr so' much favoraldo weather for that plant from now our until matured. Respectfully yours, i A Kaumku. Mill Bridge, N.
