The Uichmond Dispatch com menting ujkhi the platform adopted by the lrginia Democratic .State convention last week says: The platform adopted on Thurs day night by the Democratic State Convention was prepared with great care. 1 he JancniaL'e emnloved indi. ates clearly that the members of the committee endeavored to nut brth a creed w hich would be ac ceptable to the (silver men as well ua the arm-silver men to Mr. Cleve- and as well as to the Democrats who do not agree with him on the silver question. In reaffirming the utterances no, "the principles" of the Chicago platform on that jues tion the convention left the Vir ginia Democratic memlers of the 2 louses of Congress free to vote with Mr. Cleveland's friends or the other side on this question of the repeal of the Mierman bill and on all the bills for the relief (?) of the people which may be considered by Congress. Yes, prepared with great care so as to really do nothing and promise nothing. The Dispatch boasts that the platform will please the goldbug Democrats as well as the honest re form Democrats. It may please the former but it can never please the latter. There is to-day more differ- erence between the two wings of the Democratic party which that plat form tried to straddle and please than there has ever been between two different political parties. The plat form adopted is an infamous strad dle and a meaningless jargon of words And the above editorial is a shame less admission that the party has no principles which it dares to express m positive terms, but is simply trying to patch tip a truce to save the spoils of office for the politicians. Further on in the same editorial the Dispatch boasts "we put an in come tax plank in our platform which will take the wind out of the sails of the Populists." This is an other shameless and contemptable admission.

That organization was economical and otherwise beneficial for the co operative advancement of mutual in terest. was evident a quarter of a cen tury ago. It is more evident to-day. We have reached that point in our civilization, even under uJKepublican form of government, where organi zation is not only beneficial but also necessary. This is true with refer ence to every class of our citizens and to every division of our various industries and professions. To no one does it apply with more force than to the agricultural and indus trial classes. Yet they are among the last to avail themselves of the advantage of organization, as well as to leatn the absolute necessity therefor. At various instances in the past, numerous efforts to organize per manently have been made, and, with what results, is a matter of history and is well known. And while the result is well known, yet I hardly think the cause of such failures is generally understood by us. It is true, that whenever an orga nization has been started or attemp ted that those classes of our citizens, who being organized, have had the advantage of us "being unorganized. (and knowing that organization on our nart would soon result m in creased intelligence, and therefor united action for the protection ot.our ric-iits and interest) have used every nut in the State nlatform and where atrencv that united brain could de i , i i.i i i i i i v r. ti vise ana comumeu money v mii it can do no good, but to d.shonestly ,. d f t Jiml (lis .1 i 'III 1 IV . 1.1 . . . .... caicn voces wun. yet me ueiegaies rnr,t the organization.

In fact i uj. : : I : i : i : aKe a square ng.it on P 8uch treachery and demagoguery? There is a kind of eternal fit- selves of such organizations. It is a ness about the closing paragraph of cause produced by our surroundings the Dispatch's editorial. It is a proper climax to its hollow utteran ces: "Conventions are held to decide completely whip the gold- Ir go down with flying colors. s hut one way to win against litters that are plotting to enslave the people, and that like a hold, manly, vigorous, compromising tight. Every just such questions as were decided r:gh:. but too otten v .er tlie oivi r of unjust laws, is the tiake i?i our body pditic, and tliecur- of our civilization. This is the frightful gam- where tLe big jih eat the smaller lih, and then turned to -nt each other We have seen this game jIaved with growing fir-e and in tensity for the last quarter of a ci-n-turv. and for the last few months we h;ive seen it in its uit frightful aspect. None have suffered more from this evil condition, a. a rule, than the industrial and agrieultural (lasses. the bone and sinew, the wealth produeers of the land. Vet viewed from the standpoint of num bers, none were, and are to-day bet ter able, not only to protect them selves, but to for'-) justice to be done to all other clas.-es alike. That we have failed in this, is lit tle short of a crime. A crime not oulyagainstthose dependent upon us, but against all oppressed and suffering humanity. But why have we failed ! The basic cause lies in the cumulative heredi tary defect in ourselves. The iso lated lives we have lived has resulted in each one following his own way unaided and unguidedby the wisdom that comes from the association of ideas. And besides we have nursed our own opinions, or somebody else's opinions were furnished us, which we thought were our own, until wehave grown dogmatic ami intolerant of the opinions of others. We haye not pooled our intellects and manhood, w i have fought single handed and al ne and been beaten in detail Fast organizations and lodges of the present organization, the Alliance have disbanded because every man could not see alike and agree. Our intellects are made different. We were not intended to see alike, we were intended to differ, and in dif fering to find the truth, or at least a safe line of action between our di vergent opinions. All other clashes and organizations have learned the use and value of divergent opinions, and have learned the perfection of human wisdom from organization, by acting as a unite on a line of ac tion, that was the combined wisdom all, though it did not represent th individual opinion of a single mem ber of their organization. They have practiced co-opei ation themselves lint have preached competition to us. Competition is destructive it is the devil's trame. When wo learn this lesson, when we overcome this fatal detect m our own organi zation, and unlearn the false educa tion that has been taught us by sel fish and designing monopoly, when we begin to practice co-operation, we will not only '-e able to protect ourselves, but to advance our mutual interests. Then we will not only prosperous, but also well nigh invincible. iVnd though every effortat organi- it is inherent in the rank and file of zation m the past lias raiieu, yet the majority of the members them- every enort nas uone goou, every come the fatal defect and taught us the folly and danger of competi tion and the yalue and possibilities of co-operation.

Let the organization give no help, or comfort to any pnrty, except so far us that party identities itself with our principle and fights for our demands. Political parties are ne cessary. All political reforms must be gotten through such an agency. But no cl;is of citizens can afford to tie !in'iiiic! es t c-r to belong to any politica patty. Professional politici ans too ofte:- control them; aud poli ticians act more from a sence of sel fishness and fear, than from a sense of justice and right. Therefore let the organization hold itself indepen dent or nil political parties, and ie ever ready to help to deteat or to elect a party according to the prin ciples that it holds and acts on.

L. Lolk. RELIEF FUND. When I recommended the estab lishment of a relief fund a year ago, it was my idea that tbe fund should be used as a chairty fund only, that is. that it should be used to help such as were in enough distress, to make through their lodges a public ap peal to the brethren for assistance It was to eet nd of the constant nnblic appeals for aid that the fund was established. But I am led to believe that many have appealed for help from this fund who did not be long to the class intended to be as sisted. The result has been, that the fund has proven insufficient, and many calls nave not been paid, ana some only in part. 1 recommend that the plan be abolished, unless it A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST In a speech in the Senate in 1 837, John C Calhoun said: "It appears to me, after liestowing the best reHection I can give no sub- Kise to kill the Alliance; it they re- ject, tnat no converume paier mai fused to accept them, they did more is, paj.fr whose credit rests on a than they intended they killed promise to jiay is suiuiuie ior cur themselves. rency.

This meeting ac cording to their own definition, be ing secret, and being political, must have beeu what they call "Gideon s Band. After much caucusing day after dav, aud night after night, they decided to accept our amend ments by adding 6ix more amend ments, which for p:tisan unfair ness and discriminating injustice, and cowardly meanness, there has never before been a parallel to so stain the statute books of IVorth Carolina. Under one of these amendments, if you were to increase the salary oi my successor irom tne e uormous sum of $200 a year, to the still more enormous sum of $200.01, your charter would be forfeited. Or if you were to increase the salary of rne secretary ot a county Alliance from S4 a year, to Sj a vear the effect would be the same. Under another amendment, if one I of your officers fails to perform cer would irreatly facilitate its financial ojer:ition, would cost nothing or next to nothing, and would, of course, add much to the cost of production, which would give to every brauch of our industries great advantages both at home and abroad. And I now undertake to affirm without the least fear I can be answered, that a jajer issued by the government, with simple promise to receive it for all dues would form a perfect paper cir culation which could not be abused by the government ; that it would be as uniform in value as the metals themselves ; and I shall be able to prove that it is w ithin the constitu tion and t owers of congress to use such a paper according to the mos rigid rule of construing the constitu tion."
