SANFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12,1890
iUIW UiaUN UN iHe FAMEKS’S AL
DANCE.
‘ ,r His Speech at Weldotr.^’
Orecnt'ifie Itvfinctor.
Mr. Dixon said: North Caroli
na is one of the greatest States of
the Union.. 'J’he'sohs of the soil
are the best people the sun ever
shined upon. My father is a far
mer. He preaches' because he is
. called and farms for a living.
This is the wayhe usedfco-do:' He
don’t live by farming now. He has
. | to sell a part of his land every year
and by this means he manages, to
; stay. The farmer gets about $180
■ per year and the laborer gets about
$300. - The average value of land
ih North Carolina Is $6 per acre
- The depressed state of' affairs pro
duced the Farmers’s Alliance. .The
whole country is suffering- New
Hugland and the great West join
hands and hearts with the South in
- , bidding the Alliance a triumphant
. - success. I wish to speak to yon to
day on its moral import,. The speak
er ably and feelingly discussed the
following propositions:
f T. One cause of the hard times
V: is false political economy. The
. farmer has to sell in the lowest
.. market and buy in. the highest.
His crop made ih ten mouths must
be sold in two and often in l^ss tKan
r 'SOdrys. The Alliance aims to cor
,c-y recUthis false'econoniyv f
nas seriously
operated against the sons, of the
soil. See the farmers - leaving the
? jural districts and locating in the
!r ”, towns and cities. They feel fliat
they can live cheaper and enjoy ben
efits iii cities denied them in towns.
5Xhere is erne family in New York
City worth more than the whole
. State of North Carolina. It is wrong
for one class of people to- be so
" high !y favored fo th<- injury of f*h
other.' George Washington was
^ fromthe farm ; the men who fought,
and died for our independence were
from tlie farm; the ipeu who left
their homes and went . into the last
war wf»p from the farm. These
are the men struggling under the
. bottom. There are 18 million of
■ tillers of the .poll, 8-million farmers.
One half of the manufacturers in
in the United States to-day were
■ born on foreign soil. One eighth of
the tillers of the soil were born on
f oreign soil. Don’t these men need
adlueting?'Shall they degenerate or
shall they become the power of the
11 world.- " " - '; ■- , _
lain aoonr r.nese men going in
polhics. There is more fuss . made
about, this than anything else. The
. Farmers’s Alliance will stand ten
million wars in politics.
8. The moral import of the Alli
ance is to educate* the people. There
are two divisions of people; the
classes and the asses. The ignorant
~ must he elevated. Those who have
% been in darkness so long must come
■Out. The Alliance is the masses
leading the world to a Sigher and
better plain. Send a boy tp college
-and he learns to despise the farm.
This is not education. There are
now 8 • millions being educated to
' become presidents. . .These will be
educated tools. What is wanted is
the education of the masses. Many
. are educated and' have not sense to
, make their salt. Labor must be ele
vated. The farmers and mechanic’s
' calling is just as divine as mine. The
fanfier feeds-tlw-hungry and clothes.
• the naked. In' their grand work
women are permitted to assist. I
; thank God thaf woman in the Farm
ers’ Alliance is recognised as a hu
man being!
. 4. The Alliance is a co-operative
institution in*contradistinction to
competition. This banding for
good and noble' purposes commends
^ itself to all thinking people. The
South was killed for the want of Co*
•operation. When the first gun was
e’; fired at. Fort Sumter the tie was
. taken. There is ppwerin heat, a pile
of sticks, rain drops. These without
association are powerless. ' i
5. The Atliauce teaches to bear
one another burdens. This is good
religion.
•" vi ■
6. It is a great brotherhood. The
Alliance don't know that there is a
Mastrn and Dixon’s line. The great
trouble between "the North and
South i« they don't know each oth^
er. I never saw a Republican until
1 was fifteen years old. I wondered
what kind of a man he was. I heard
Dr. Armetage say that his work
was done and when death came could
thank God that he had always voted
the Republican ticket. My father
said that he could thunk God that
he had always voted the Democrat
ic ticket! These are good men but
don’t understand each other.
- 7. The Alliance js a benevolent
institute. - The benevolence is foun
ded Upon Jesus Christ. We all
want money hut—a warm grasp of
the hand is better. When Napo
leon was banished to St. Helena his
friends followed him and refused to
leave him, one of his, soldiers re
mained nineteen year guarding his
grave, and was taken away by force.
This is worth more than money!
Such benevolence is worthy the ad-r
miration of the whole, world.
8. It means progress iu politics.
The sub-treasury bill tickles me in
my boots. It will smash all the
traditions of the country. I expect
to liv,e to see the day when
every railroad and telegraph line
Will be under the government. A
man who don’t carry his religion
into polics has none. . , r V :

A Tale of Tragedy.
UatesvilfcLandmaek.
What changes time brings!
Fwenty years ago Josiah Turner,
)f Orange, had the State at his feet.
)ne night lost week he had an an
louncemcnt tor speak at. Durham;
ae was an inddependent candidate
tor the Senate in Durham and Or
uige. He paid $2 to have the hall
lighted and the money was refun
ded because, nobody, went to .hear
Ilia;. This a tale of tragedy in one
let. Josiah Turner is in memory, l
The receipts of cotton at Wilming
ton during the month of October
amounted to 55,235 bales, against
37,877 for the same month lost
year. Receipts for the crop year—
from September 1st to November 1st
—are 08,003 bales, against 53,414
for the first two months- of i880-r
in increase of 45,589 bales.
LEAK ON LOVE.
"i \ ” I
He Draws a Pretty Picture and La
bels in Perfect Love.
At'latUa Crnstitution, 'A
Kind reader,,did you ever go oui
into a garden and sit beneath a tree
laden with blossoms, and on one of
the boughs there would be a bird
singing and swinging, and thinking
perhaps, about four little, speckled
eggs warmed by the breast of its
mate. Sinjring and swinging, and
the music in happy waves rippling
out of its tiny throat, and the flow
ers blossoming, the air filled with
perfume, and the great white clouds
floating in the sky? Have yon, 1
say, and if so, amid these scenes,
think back over the misspent, days
and gone, and— . ;
“Uow strange that the. hands, that
might lead us
To heaven, refuse us their hold.
That the dear lips that whisper 'God
■speed us,
Are the lips that are first to grow
cold.” !■■■■ ■ 1 ;i* . ,
Bat as the bird has ceased its
song, the clouds floated westward,
and the sun bending low,'a rose
lipped daughter by your side Whis
pers; - _ . __’ ) \
‘Yes, love, I’ll lead you to'the dawning.
Just there is the heavenly light. -
And how little the glorious morning
Knows the sorrowful shadows of
■ night.” T vA W- . ;y'^ ™''r
Oh i love, you are all this world
. I had rather live in a hut built of
love* with a vine growing over the
door, and'the grapes growing purple
in the kisses of the autumn sun.
I had'rather be poor peasant, with
my love by my side, spilling us the
day dies out of the sky, than to live
in a palace without love.
Holy writ tells us that God is love
hence all true love must come from
aud have its source oi.hinf, •*
The little helpless babe first learns
to love its mother, because her shel
tering arms afford-protection—and
her lpving breast the nutriment of
life. As it grows it soon learns to
love its father, its sisters and broth
ers and^ then its playmates, and
when youth is attained it soon learns
to love someboy else’s sister or
brother, and then: . * ,
“Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.” *1
" They are united in the holy bonds
of wedlock’. The family * tree is
planted', and grows like the majes
tic oak, around. which the tender
vine clings in loving embrace.
Men are oaks, women are vines,
children are flowers. And among
the holiest altars in all the wide
world, is the fireside around - which
gather father, mother and the sweet
babes. •
I like to see the little ones at the
table and hear each one telling of
th^ wonderful things he has seen. I
like to. haer the clatter of knives
and forks and spoons mingling with
their happy voices. Behonest and
fair with little children,, be just,
be tender, and they will- make you
rich in love aud joy. ■,
Think of the little children who
turn pale when they hear their fath
er’s footsteps; the little children
who run away wuen they- only hear
their names called by the lips of a
mother; little children—the chil
dren of poverty—the children of
crime, the children of brutality,'
wherever they may be, sailing out
on the wild, mad sea of life, my
heart goes out .to them, one and'
all. : '
• When your child commits a
wrong, take it in jour arm$ let the
child know that you really and tru
ly and sineerely love it. Yet there
are some people, when a child com
mits a fault, drive it from the door
and say, never do darken this home
again. Think of that! And then
these same people will get down'
upon their knees and- ask God to
take care of the child they have
driven from home. If 1 were a
father t would never ask God to
take care of my children, unless I
was doing my level hest in that di
rection. * • t , -r ’ ' » v
But I -will tell you what I would
■ ■ V c- J.t
say to'my children: “Go Where you
will; commit, what crime you may;
you can never commit any crime
that will shut my door,-my
arms or my , heart to you, . As
loog as I live you shall hav.e one
sincere friend.” .. M ; ;
* I like, to think of love iu that way;
I like to think that love is eternal;
and to love in that way and then go
down the hill of life together*; hus
band and wife, and as you go" down*
hear the laughter of grandchildren,
perhaps, while the birds of joy and
love sing once more in the leafless
branches of the tree of age. • ^
r And at last, becoming worn . and
weary, you lay down by the ‘way
side and using your burden for a
pillow, fall into;' that dreamleiss
sleep that kisses down the eyelids
till—surrounded by kind and faith
ful friends, by thosa you have loved
—you will pass away as serenely as
the autumn dies.
And I hope this may be jjhelot of
you in the couivtry, in houses cover
ed with vines and clothed with flow
ers, looking from the open window
upon fields of cotton and corn, over
which will run the sunshine and
the shadow, surrounded by those
whose lives you have filled with joy,
will pass away peacefully and calm
ly, while on your forehead falls the
golden dawning- of the grander
day. ’37 77';' ;7 7- ;

IT WAS’ THE ALLIANCE.'
That’s What “Old Fogy” Says About
the Democratic Sweep.
Washingtqk, D, C., Nov. 0.—At
the national headquarters of the
Farmers’ Alliance in this city, a
great victory for the farmers is
claimed in the result of Tuesday’s
election. In an interview, D. II.
Rittenhouse, alias Old Fogy,
retary of the organization, says that
the farmer&’dorganization desired to
rebuke -the party-that defeated free
Coinage of silver, and framed a tar
iff law that imposes greater burdens
on the poor man than on the rich.
Mr. Rittenhouse says thafin.tbe
States where the farmers’ league is
strong, it has aided in showing this
Congress that the demafid of the
farmers for free coinage was hot an
idle one. Notably in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire, in the east,
and Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, and Colorado in the
west. “This sounds well,” he said,
“butdoes not~prove that the Alli
ance an”d kindred organizations will
support Democrats in 1892. If the
Democrats fail to give a greater vol
ume of currency they will receive
the same kind of punishment in
1892. We are determined to be
felt, and if this House ignores our
petitions; We will send a House of
our own.
Native Grown vs. Imported Hay.
Gerald McCarthy, jV, i C. Experiment
Station.
The farmers of the Carolines im
port annually from the Northern
and Western States several thousand
tons of hay, for which they pay
many thousands of dollars. ’ The
larger part of this money goes into
the pockets of middle men and
transportion companies The
Western producer -sells for.
from $6 to $8 the ton of hay for
which the Southern consumers pays
from $20 to $25. Yet there are few
neigborhoods in these States where
good hay cannot be produced For,
our light dry uplands we have lu
cerne, mammouth clover, ‘crimson
clover, tall oat grass, tall fescue,
German millet, Kaffir corn and the
sorghums. For lowlands and allu
vial bottoms we have orchard grass,
meadow foxtail, English and Italr
tan rye, red-top,,fowl meadow, and
in the cooler districts timothy and
alsike clover.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station will publish soou a bulletin
on the best forage plants^. This will
be illustrated and will give the re
sults of the triala of these grasses at
the North Carolina and -other Ex
periment Strutions as well as by
practical farmers. ; , . ,

.EDUCATIONAL ^INSTITUTE.
Publio'; Speaking.
' Prof. E. A. Alderman will, dur
ing the week beginning Nov. 17th,
1890, hold an Institute in Carthage,
. N. C.' , v‘ :-,
This Institute is not for teachers
only, but for the people ns well. Its
efficiency, therefore, will depend
largely upon whether or not the
■people aitenS. i»t as pos
sible attend the daily, exercises,
Friday of that week will be devot
ed to special exercises that will be
of interest and profit to all who will
attend. Addresses. will, on that
day* be made by Prof. E. A. Aider
man and others, which will do much
good to the eauso of education if
the people will-go and hear them.
In Virginia there is spent for pub
lic education on each child, white
and black, an average of about
tim and one-half times as much
money as isspent in North Carolina,
and .the average length of ■ annual
session in Virginia is about twice
that of ours. Not only so, but we
are behind almost all the other
Southern States.
Except in a few of the cities, onr
public schools do not satisfy either
their friends or their .opponents.
We levy only 12J cents on $100 of
property (one and a quarter mills.)
The fad is, that withso small a levy
it is impossible to have an , efficient
and creditable system of schools.
Count and see how little it amounts
to on the assessed valuation of your
property.. _ ... "
The great bulk of our people are
farmers and laborers in other avoca
tions, who are solely dependent upon
fbe public schools for, the education
of their children. Even of the white
children, perhaps as many as 11 out
of 12 in this State have no other
schools. _
Perhaps you object to dividing
with the negroes. As a rule, the tax
o£-12ceuta-OiL___£100 of property
raises more money to "each child,
white and black, in the. counties
where there are many u-'groes than
in those counties where there are
few ot nohe. It is the label of a
county'that makes its wealt.i. If
we did not - have the negroes we
would have some other poor people
whose children whould have’ to be
educated in the public shoots.
But, whatever may be said about
educating the negroes, we cannot
afford not to .improve our education
al facilities, whether we consider
our financial condition and progress
or the perpetuation of our civil and
religions liberties. The matter is
within the power of the people, and
when they come duly to consider
this great question, and see it as it
is, they will willingly tax themselves
more, and give more attention to
the education of their children. '" .'
If you say we are too poor, then
I reply that the way to get richer
is to educate our own people intel
lectually and industrially, so that
they may be able successfully to ap
’p'y labor to the development of our
mnny resources. The liistory of tlie
world points out. this way, and we
cannot fail if wc walk in it With
good schools iii the country districts
there will be less incentive for the
country people to crowd into the
eities and towns to educate their
children, much.of the discontent and
restlessness will disappear, and bet
ter success will attend their labors.

“Society as I Have Found It,”
Mr. Ward McAllister, has-added to
gayety of the city and evgn drawn
murtints of astonishment from the
rather small portion of. the popula
tion outside of the “charmed circle”
which has had the hardihood to
read the book. The .gayety, of
course, is excited because of the ridi
outous.figure which a grown white
man cuts who threats seriouslv the
business of getting up picnics and
tea parties and deciding whether a
game duck or a table duci should
be served as ari entree. The nston
islyment is excited because “sbcie
tp* as Ward depicts it is sjiartiejess
_ i-'- .i We knew tha
ly ungrammatical.
“society” was not learned but wi
certainly thought ii knew the rudi
ments. Perhaps th,e next genera
tion will be better,-‘“society" ii
father yet new. .
- There are two reasons just non
why “society” is a little indifferenl
to grammar. Its attention ’ is oc
cupied, iirstj^wittrhow, to' make , t
sandwich and,‘tCC85t^*With''iiow tc
get out of a carriage. Anybody
jtho is acquainted with the' dude
mind knows that being occupies
with two questions so weighty il
cannot, indeed would scorn to, cope
with grammar. Whether a sand
wich should be triangular or square,
and whether a person should get
out of a carriage feet first or head
first are of course of vastly more
importance to “us” than making a
verb agree with its nomative in
number and person or using a sin
gle negative to express negation.
For the benefit of those who care to
know just what the verdict of “so
ciety” will be on the above questions
I would say tha' I have “inside in
formation'’ that the fashionable
sandwich must be triangular al
ways and thin;- never square or
thick.;and that in getting out' pf a
carriage the " fashionable person
must put his or her foot out of the
door first, never thrusting the head
out in advance of the rest of the an
atomy. These questions may be
considered, then, as good as settled.
Let “society” now turn to grammar
and wrestle with verb agreements
and the proper use of negatives.
The AnlLllAi/Snlnit Ponlon
* wv riini-nlul»|,,,vj VJfUiUU
McKinley, Aldrich, and Tom
Reed, like Jack Falstaff, base led
their ragamuffins where they art
peppered. Never since the close of
the war were the Republican pros
pects fairer than when this trie
took the lead at the opening of th(
Fifty-first’ Congress. Never sinci
that time has any party sustainec
such a crashing and overwhelming
defeat. That this defeat is dm
mainly to the Mckinley bill there i:
not a shadow of doubt. Soma por
tion of the disaster may be ascribe*
no doubt, to the overbearing an*
tyrannical behavior of Reed ai
Speaker, and to his thanking Got
that ‘-'the House .is no longer a de
libertive body.” But the real caust
of the cyclone which ha3 emptier
seventy Republican seats m Con
gress is the wicked and unprinci
pled measure which these people dt
vised to pay the. Campaign debts of
Quay and Wanamaker. The cash
that was subscribed to elect Harris
on was-charged up to the American
people in a gross, uncounted sum.
It was to he collected by duties on
.tin plate, worsted cloth, carpet
wool, pearl buttons, and a thousand
other thing that enter info the food
and raiment of the people, Snell r
hill coun-ld-never have been carried
except as a cash transaction, ar
much for so much. The result i;
now beTore us. The Republican
party is almost annihilated. It has
lost all of New .England except
Maine and Vermont. It- has lost
New York, Indiana, Wisconsin, am
Nebraska, and probably Michigan
Iowa, Illinoise, and Mptana. It hai
given the Democrats a grater ma
jority than they ever bad in anj
Congress since the tinio of Androv
Jacl; son. v
This result lias come abou
spontaneously, in the, face of ini
beciiity if not indifference on tin
pcttb.UJ. me niii/iuu anc L/011V
mittce. It is the result of the work
ing popular forces which had theii
status in Grover Cleveland’s
message on the tariff. That famous
document gave the Democrats f
fighting, issue. They did. not like
it in the begining, hut they took it,
and they carried the country with il
on the popular vote although thej
lost the Presidency then. The
Republicans raised- an enormous
sum of money. • 4rhey bought theii
“blocks of five" and elected' Har
rison. They then sought to pay the
money McKinley wise, and they
have now been smashed ' so utterly
that recovery before 1892 is-impos
sible, The chayn of cause and ef
fect is complete. -
We say that they cannot >revover
themselves, because the McKinley
bill is- a veritable shirt of Ness us. It
will bum and sting as long as it
lasts. The public have ' very little
conception of it even yet. Its worst
effects have not yet been felt, be
cause the publi« are still buying
goods in most eases at the old prices.
Wait till existing stocks are worked
off, and then see how the' faces of
the poor will be ground. That ill
starred measure has been devised as
all other protective tariffs in our
history have been,'to bear with es
pecial severely upon the .laboring
classes, -T*.. •> 1 "■

As wngCgenerally anticipated by .
; those who keep themselves iftform
! ed asto the political'situation in the .
different States, the Democrats have:
carried tb'e next House of Represent
atives. Great is the cheer of triumph
which goes up from the throat of the
Democracy in every portion of thft
hind. True, they cannot hope to ac-..
* ‘®tfmplish much"'with~ a" Republican"' *
Seuate and President, but they, at. v
least, can return for awhile to thb T
congenial occupation of blocking
the wheels of legislation and Sus
pending for a time the steady move
ment in the line of progress and re
form which always characterizes
Republican' administration when
unhampered by Democratic ascen
dency in either branch of Congress
or in the Executive’ Mansion. - -
The situation will recall to men '
of good memories that succeeding
the election of 1882. Then as now,,
the Democrats developed a sudden
accession of strength in almost eve
ry Northern State.. -Republican
majorities were greatly diminished, , ’
or entirely__ wiped out, while the-'
Democrats • triumehed in every i:
doubtful State. Pennsylvania then,
as now, elected a Democratic Gov
ernor. 'New York chose Grover
Cleveland to succeed Alonzo B, Cor
nell by the unprecedented plurality
of 192,000. Massachusetts, for the .
second time in a generation, elected .-■/
a x/emocrauc uovernor, ana. a fte
pnblican majority of 11 in the House
of Representatives was converted'
into a Democratic majority of 82.
Those reactions against the party
in power midway between Presiden
tial elections are not uncommon.
In fact, as the table which • we ptib
; lish elsewhere shows, and as Mr.
1 Blaine stated in his Academy of*' .
Music speech last Saturday, they are
the rule and not the exception.'; In J
[ practice the control of the House of
i Representatives, in the year preced- '
ing a Presidential election^ usually J
operates to the disadvantage of the»
majority party. The redfcrd made..
" by the Democrats of the.Forty- '
eigth Congress, .with their Morrisou _ '
bill agitation and failure toaccbtn- '
plish any work 'of value, aided the ‘
Republicans greatly in 1884, and
the record of the same party in the
Fiftieth Congress gave ; the Repub^i|
"Ti’ln^o wiinlAnvr in 1 QCQ V ^ .T
The Republicans of- the Fifty
first Congress have made a noble
record i:> their first session, the val
ue of which it is too soon forithSft
They will
fact from
more
country , to appreciate,
not be dettfired by this
completing t.hgir work any
than the Republican, majority in
the Eorty-seventh Congress were
stampeded by the Democvatic reac- *
tion of 1882. The best-' work* of
that Congress, viz, the tariff bill of
1883 and the civil service reform act
w&re enacted in- the short session
after the election, in the full confi
dence that the .final judgement.;
of the country would be'an approv-8 is
ing one. The present,. Republican ’
House of Representatives will, we are
confident, be moved by a similar
spirit; Leaving1 its good work of"v
the last session-—the reform of the
rules, the tariff and act, the sil ver
act, the pension legislation, and oth
