Mr. Fowler opposed the hill he

MARION BUTLER,
I'KESIPKM OK THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE.
President Butler then briefly ad
dressed the Council and said : "Among
the most distinguished names of the
State of North Carolina is that of
Badger. A gentleman of that family
md name is now the mayor of the city
of Raleigh, and I ljave great pleasure
in presenting him to the Council.
Mayor Badger sunt ;
Mr. I'm side nt and ( 'Smile men of the So-
tioiml rarmrm Alliance:
In behalf of the citizens of Raleigh
it all'ords me, its chief ollicer, unalloyed
pleasure to extend to you a cordial
welcome to the City of Oaks.
North Carolina is an agricultural
State perhaps too much so for its ow n
permanent prosperity, the welfare
of our people, whether residents ol
city or of country, is intimately bound
up in tne prosperity or airricuuurt

country, with all their combined ii
flueiice, could not break it down, Kveu
t he church failed as an arbitor of peace
in this unfortunate matter, and could
create no impression on existing ideas,
and was never able to bring about a
reconciliation. It remained for the
farmers of the country to study the ex
isting conditions from a non-partisan
and tiou--preji((iced stai 1-point; anil
when they begun that study, what a
change comes over the c, uintry ! 'J he
nian who inspired that study; the man
v, hp fnade the lirst etlective effort to
break down the wall of liate and sepa
ration, vvas 1 mm Raleigh, N,C. That
man went through the North ami
West, stopping at many different
points, and left Jin record at any place
except such as would Inspire brother
hood ilnd I'raternalisin in the hearts of
men. The spirit of that fraternal love
will go on and on, and will eventually
unite the people in a common brother
hood for the common good."
Mr. T.oucks touched economics, and
pointed out that the Alliance had said,
long since, that the conditions of op
pression now prevailing would come.
He declared that the existing pystems
of government would only serve to
aggravate these oppressions ami de
pressions, and said with force and
emphasis : "We have not seen the worst
yet!" He elicited applause when he
declared that a just regulation of all
matters affecting the public weal could
never be accomplished until the de
mands of the Alliance had been en
acted into operative laws. He referred
to Mayor Badger's eloquent plea that
there should be no antagonism be
tween the workers of tlie country
and city, and emphasized that plea;
"but," said he, "any existing antag
onism is no tauJL ol ours, it has been
created by the political schemers of
cities who haveset forth that the effort
of the country people and farmers was
to increase the prices of products of the
I arm, and thereby make the cost ot the
necessaries ot life heavier to tlie la
borers of the city. This has had the
effect of causing what antagonism
may exist."
lie referred to President Butler of
the North Carolina State Alliance
saying he had watched his course with
interest, ije tnougnt t tie good name
of the man had been influential in en
abling him to command the confidence
of the people; but when the "hirelings"
of political power and the "barnacles"

'Forgotttfn and forgiven. b the ani-mo-si
tie engendered by the late war.
in the pretence of such a problem."
Mr. I ean referred to tin monument
to be ererted to the memory of I. 1..
Polk, and said that hi proper; but
his idea wan to eventually erect a
lasting memorial building in honor of
that man one which wixjld stand for
him a Cooper Union, in New York
stands for Peter Cooper.
President Butler appointed the fol
lowing committee on credentials: J.
II. Hobson, Virginia: W. P. Pricker
of Pennsylvania, and D. P. Duncan, of
South Carolina.
Invitations were read from the prin
cipal of the I leaf and Dumb and Blind
Institute and from Peace Ins itute, to
afiend concerts at those places.
The Council then adjourned till

work of the Alliance.
KKSOLITION ON TH K CflUlFlfC,
At the evening meeting the Council
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, It is currently reported
that another bond issue has been de
termined upon by the President of the

which it is the province ot the Na
tional Farmer?' Alliance to foster and
encourage. Especially ought this or
ganization to receive an unaffected
welcome here. -No one can recall with
out a moistened eye its honored hrst
president: his devotion to the cause of
which he vvas the hrst duet; his abili
ty, his zeal, his purity ot heart and
rectitude ol purpose, vv e are glad that
this National Assembly will, at its
present session, erect an enduring
monument to perpetuate the name and
character of Eennidas E. Polk. And
its present chief otlicer young, inde-
tatigahle, hxed ol purpose, eloquent ol
speech, of whom perhaps propriety for
bids that 1 should speak no more in
his presence ,
I am not entitled to participate in
your deliberations, but 1 must be par
doned for expressing a single wish.
While I know it is foreign to the pur
poses of the order, still it too fre
quently happens that unworthy mem
bers on tne one nanu. ami malignant
opponents upon the other, have each
from his own stand point labored to
bring about a spirit of hostility be
tween the resident of tlie town and his
fellow citizen in the country. God
forbid that there should be sown the
seeds of any rancor or of an unworthy
jealousy. 1 am sure, Mr. President,
that I may be pardoned tor express
ing the contident hope that the delib
erations of your body shall bring
about a broad, catholic and generous
feeling of kindness between the la
borer in the city and his brother who
works in the clear" sunlight of the
open field. We cannot afford to di
vide in the presence of those whose
purposes, whether known to them
selves or not, would seem to menace
the prosperity of the entjre agricul
tural section of this union.
"Again I bid you a cordial welcome
to our city."
When Mayor Badger concluded his
address, President Butler arose and
walking to hi in grasped his hand
in a cordial matsner.

'Mary Ann" Butler, the whole people
knew he was a good thing and a good
man and appropriated him for their
own.
Mr. I.E. Dean, of New York, made
the second response on behalf of the
Alliance, lie was pleasantly intro
duced by President Butler, and his re
marks were very eloquent and ellec
tive. He said: "I want to acknowi
edge that I have more feel
ing in inis work man in
any other with which I have ever been
connected ; and yet 1 would, perhaps
never been in it but for a citizwn of
your city and state. When it was pro
posed to hold the meeting of the So
preme Council here, and during the
meeting to lay the corner-stone of a
monument to that citizen, I determined
to be present, even though I had to
walk. Brothers (for I have a right to
call you,hrothers); brotherhood was in
stituted by Him who taught us to say
'our Father who art in heaven.' If he
had said 'my Father,' Christianity
would have been only a small incident
of the history of eighteen hundrtd
years ago. But he made us brothers
by saving 'our Father;' and I
believe the spirit of that
kind of brotherhood was what
inspired E. I,. Polk to come frolic the
Sunny South, like a blaze of glory,
through the fogs and films of prejudice
and sectionalism, and speak of the
brotherhood of man. When he spoke,
men, women and children who heard
him were willing to take his hand, to
welcome him to their hearts, and to
sav with faith, fervor and power, God
bless you !"
Mr. Dean spoke of the comparative
conditions of his state and North Caro
lina. iWith a population of 6,000,000
souls they were mortgaged tor an aver
age of $2i)S each, while in North Caro
lina, the per capita mortgage debt was
only $70. Three million of the people
of New Y'ork were absolutely without
property personal or real ; and many
who would be members of the Alliance
cannot afford it, though the dues are
siruplv nominal. This organization is

A partial report and some recom

matters presented created some inter

This bill provides for the appoint

commission to collect informa

legislation to meet problems presented

is to be called "Ti e Industrial Com
