HOW THINGS LOOK FROM OUR STAND POINT. The Opinion of The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorse on the Various Topics of tho Day. rt. II. Humphrey (a white man) Hupt., of the colored Alliance, has issued through his paper, Tho Na tional Alliance, their official organ, a proclamation ordering the negroes to strike for $1.00 per hundred for cotton pickintr. This is unjust and unwise unjust to the cotton planters who this year can scarcely meet ex jKMises if they pay only 40 coals per hundred, unjust h cause it is a strike at those who have been the beat friends to the m gro; unwise hecnuse the negro Alliance can never succeed in its demands by fighting the white Alliance, unwise because the colored labors and the white laborers have a common grievance and should stand together foracommon remedy, for the repeal of uniust laws and the nactment of remedial legislation. riiir. proclamation was not prompted bv Alliance sentiments nor a desire o promote tho best interests of the colored man. The motive and the nphun that prompted thisdangerus nd foolish cause will sooner or ater come to light. In the mean inie tho negroes will not follow lumphery. Tlie late President of the National colored Alliance says We have misplaced the paper con taining his statement or we would ,rivo his exact words that the ne groes will take no such foolish ad- ice and that Iluniphery had no uithoiity for making such an ordr. ti htrdson, thoSupt., of the color ed Alliance of Georgia says: Thtre will he no strike of the ne gro alliancemen. "I have told them that it was un reasonable; time at the present price of cott"ii no farmer vould aflord to my such a price, and begged them not to endorse such a wild scheme. I told them tha. this was not the pur- ose of our organization; that we were handed together for the pur pose ot educating ourselves and co operating with the white people for he betterment ot the colored people and if we were to take such a step as this at the outset, it would he fatal to our order. 'Personally, I have nothing a- gainst Humphreys, hut I have id- ways wanted to know why lie uiu not belong to the white people's Alliance instead oi the colored Al- iance. If he is not fit for the vlute Alliance we doi.'t want him among us. "Yes. vou may put it down tor certain," he said, "that the colored alliancemen of Georgia will go into no such foolish so-called -trike as is reported from Texa-. Humphreys tried hard to get us to go into that scheme, but we refused to do so. Humphrey's order may have some effect in Texas and Mississippi where we understand he has some influence but fiom tho above wo do not think it will be noticed much elsewhere. An Alliance man in a communica tion to the Newton Enterprise says "As to financial relorm all we expect is some law to put more money Into circulation." Wrong, brother, that is not all. To increase the circula tion to $50 per capita, would alone b.R of irreat benefit as a means of n - temporary relief, for it, would make it easier for those who are in debt to nav out. But in a few years this money would be as scarce as ever. This increased amount would flow through the same channels and be concentrated in the same hands that the great bulk of the present amount of money is. That is, to simply in crease the value of money, and le the unjust financial system remain would in a few years in giving the money devil a longer lever with which to oppress us. The whole fi nancial system must be changed. We must have not only a longer volume of money but an elastic volume, that wiil expand and contract with the volnme of the products ot labor so as to exactly and justly measure them. This is the legimatc function of money, and when not so used is a direful engine of oppression. Then too, this money must be furnished a a low rate of interest. Money is a robber when it lay tribute for its use to more than the profits of agri culture. Certain politicians and papers have stopped fighting the Alliance openly but have instead been heaping per sonal abuse upon young officers whom you have put forward to lead the Order and defend your princi pies. They hope to draw your at tention from the principles and mea sures you contend for and get you split into factions over men. This is very shrewd in them. They know that your carse is just, that you are on the right t rack and that no power can prevent you from reforming this government to a plain of equal Jus CLINTON, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Hrc now trying to devhh us int. personal factions, this done and ihiy have succeeded and we have lost. Yor-, this is shrewd in them, but fur once they will find that the former is not to le forced by them. For ar gumenti,sake,suppose we admit ih d nil tho charges they insinuate against Col. Polk are true, what has th.it got to do with the cause he is advo cating? He isilefending your piin ciples, let them answer his argu ments. Personal abuse h no answer, it is an admission that they cannot answer his advocacy in defense of your principles. It i-au adini sion that you have a champion that is toe strong for your t neniies, and the Or. der will stand by its champioa, let enemies abuse him as much as they may. (Certain newspapers have tried very hard recently to pursuade the farmer that there was no more money needed. They have publish ed tables gaving the per capita amount in circulation for a number ot years, showing that there was $23.00 per capita now 111 circulation, the largest amount for more than a decade. Put they fail t. note the distinaction between money out standing and mony in actual circula tion anions: the people. It may be that the government's records show that $23.00 per capita should be in circulation, but we all know (UK papers that published the tables in cluded) that only a small per cer.t. of the ?23.00 is in actual circulation, possbly not over $5.00. The large bulk of it is hoarded and concentra ted in the hands of the few. They do but overstep themselves in their argument, for the larger the amount thty can show should be in actual circulation, the greater the con demnation of our ruinous liuancial system. Those who control your money control you. We must .have on honest currency or be the slaves to the few money lords. The fellowing morsel of political wisdom (?) is offered by the editor of the Hickory Press and Carolinian: We suggest that the Democratic executive committee, at the proper time, issue an address to th. jemo racy of the State, in which shall ho dainly declared the principles and olicy of the party. Let that be read in every convention; and those who do not endorse and approve, et them depart in peace. That paper must forgot that ve ive under a republican form of government where the people rule or should. What, a handful of men o attempt to dictate to the great ank and file of the people wind their political principles are ! It is simplp absurd, and the executive committee of this State has t o much sense, (even if they desired tc follow such a cause) to thus make them selves a bulk of ridicule. WHISTLE SIGNALS.
