ADDRESS
TO THE PABNEKS OF ftOBTH CAB
•■•■■ A.
By tbe Form tta ( wialv Parmer's flab.
The objett an 1 purpose of this organ
izatijn, in tbe language of our consti
tution is " to improve the condition of
the farmers and to promote the interests
of agriculture." The undersigned com
mittce, beg respectfully to submit
briefly for your careful and earnest
thought some of the oonsidcratious
which prompted this movement.
The agriculturalists of this country
oonstitute 51 per ocnt. of all those en
gaged in the various occupations and
pay 80 per cent, of the taxes of tbe
tbe country. Last year our domestic
exports amounted to 5723,000,000, of
which $520,000,000, or 73 per cent,
of the whole, were tbe products ol ag
riculture. What is done by the Gov
ernmrn'. Io encourage and foster this
great sourse of its wealth and pownr '
What ii done to uphold and strengthen
tbe hands of those who feed and clothe
it* sixty millions of paople end the pro
duots of whoso labor and skill constitute
the very life of its ooimneroe ? How
does it oompare with other govern
ments! In 1885, Franee, for the pro
motion of her agricultural interest*,
appropriated $20,000,000; Biazil $12,-
000,000; Russia $11,000,000; Austria
$5,000,000; Japan $1,000,000 and the
United Sta'.es gave $650,000 to tbe
support ot our National Department of
Agriculture. During the past six years
from 1881 to 1886 inclasivNs, our gov
ernment has appropriated $2)482,700
(about one-ninth of the amouut given
by France in one year) and a ftutn abont
sufficient to pay tor tbe . eggs which
were imported into this eountry in
1886. . . , ;
The legislative branoli of oar govcrp
ment should b« (be guard iaa plwer to
whioh we should look for enoourageiuent
and protection. Of whoa is iteompta
ed! Of tbe 401 member) of tie Hobmo
and Senate of the If, S. Congress oply
eleven farmers are found od tho roll!
One repreaerftative to *T*ry 606,.51 7
person* engaged in agnoulture. Kvery
19,108 phyaieiaas hare a representative
in CongreM—every 294 Bank official!
have one—every 188 Railroad oficiala
have one ■ every 209 lawyer* and pro
fessionsl offiae bolder* have >ne;
or to state it differently; the 7,670,493
agriculturalist* of tbeoountry bare only
11 representatives in Congress, while
tbe physician* have 8: Bank president*
15; Railroad oficlal* 11: and the law
yers and professional office holders have
307 ; or ttentyeigM timet as many as
tbe agriculturalists.
On tb*M remarkable fact* we have nd
oominent to offer. Tbey afaonld speak
in term* wore eloquent tbaa any lan
pp we emld einploy,
In 1880 we bad in onr State 480,187
persons eu;r«fe I in all kinds of occupa
tions. Of these, 360,987 were encaged
■in agrioulUiie, at 76 per cent, of tbe
whole. It is not onlr the ooenpatinn ot
three-fourths of the people in tbe State
belonging to our industrial classes, but
it is the great foundation on which rests
tho hope, tbe prosperity, the glory and
the very life of tbe State, It behooves
every citizen, therefore, of whatever
condition or relation, to aid and encour
age by every lonorable means, tbe
hcaltbfol growth sod development of
this great in Just; Especislly is it
inenmbent on tbe farmers of the State
to bring to its support all tbe available
forces whieb have or may be supplied
*>y experience, by research, by indus
try, education, science and legislation.
We recognize tbe stern fact tbat
the farmers of tho country must arouse
themselves to a true comprehension of
the situation. In matters of public
concern, affecting their interests direct
ly, the farmers of the South especially
must be more vigilant, do more ot their
own thinking, rely more on their own
judgment aud stand more manfully and
loyally by their own interests. The
most conservative in character aud the
most powerful at tbe ballot box, of any
one class of our people, we should strive
to preserve and foster tbat harmony ol
action betwoinall the great interests of
the country tbat is so essential to our
our prosperity and happiness. \ve
should elevate und dignify our vocation
and thus build up a higher type of
manhood and womanhood among tho
masses. And how are these desirable
ends to be accomplished 1 Mamjettly
and only by cooperative effort
Co-operstion is tbs watchwood of tb«
age. It is the mighty power that is
moving tbe world—tbe very essenee of
progress. Wc must not—cannot longer
ignore this powerful agency, as effectu
ally eiupljjed by all otber interests for
their promotion and advancement. It
is a law of Nature—a law of Ocd—tbat
must be systemixed, consolidated and
directed bf organisation. All OIMSC*
aud nil inUrcsts, except due, through
out tbs civilised world recognise its po
tency and are fostered, encouraged and
strengiboncd and protected by it, and
that nne is agriculture—the greatest aud
most important of all. Mineis, printers,
mechanics, artizans, professionals, tuer
chauis, tradesmcu, manufacturers, spec
ulators, shippers, bankers, lailroadi,
each aud all have their organizations.
They each have a common priuoiple of
action. They each know thai "in uu
lon there isstrengtb." We, ss farmers,
are segregated, isolated, divided and a
helpless prev to all who may take advan
tage of us. Without organisation we
cannot cu-opcrale and without 00-oper
atiuu wc can have no system, without
system we can have nothing. Look at
tbe miserable character of employed la
bor iu our Slate today. Utterly un
manageable aud alinist worthless and
daily growing worse. Tbe South is the
only agricultural community in tbe civ
ilized world where labor controls aud
shapes the policy of tbe land owners.
V\ hy ? Simply because tbcre is no co
operation of effort on the part of tbe
farmers to direct and control it.
Under the so called tenant system,
our lands are butchered aod destryed
and our sons are tbas driven from tbe
old homestead with all its endearing
associations to' seek a home elsewhere.
With NIICII a Stato of tbiogs need we
woDdcr tbat our sons seek the villagess
towns and cities, Io avoid tbe slavery
and drudgery of oontaet with such labor
with all its sttendant trials snd vexa
tions! With such a state of thing,
need we wonder that many of our most
enterprising farmers, owners of fine lands
should take tbeir moasy and their fami
'lies to tbe towns to educate their ohil
dren ? With suoh a state of things need
we wonder that to a large majority of
our farmers life is burdened with oaro,
and "vexation of spirit" instead of the
bright, cheerful hopoful, happy exist
ence that God designed it shoold be 1
Without system, without oo>operation,
without organisation, how ean w* hope
to cammsnd oi enforce respect for jar
right* ?
With classes, communities, atatos and
nation*, a* with individuals, they murt
show >bat they respeet tbemaelve* before
they oan hope or expect of it other*. Wo
often complain, and ju tly, that oar
rights slid interests are ignored, but do
we pat fourth any effort to prevent it *
Take, as au ill'iitratioo any of the great
quesfions of industrial economy io which
we ss farmers, sre directly aud vitally
concerned, qnestious whioh in tbcii dig
nity rise above oousidurattou* o a more
partisan character, and how are tbe
vicas and wishes of tbe farmers to find
expression and have influence l
Many of us believe that onr public
raad system xhould snd could be vastly
improved.
We believe, too, that our conviot la
ber should be employed on the public
roads of the State, thereby removing it
from tbe field of oompoiition with honest
free labor, and confining it to a work so
greatly needed in the State and where
it would be a direct relief to every tax
payer of the State.
, But how are we to formulate our
views and impress tbom? By organ
ized action.
Again: We believe that the time
has arrived when North Carolina should
have au Agricultural College, where the
70utb of the State may acquire piaoli
cal knowledge and be fitted by proper
training tor the vocations tbey may fill
in tho various branches of industry.
Wc believe tbat tbo Land Scrip Fund
donated by the general government for
Hut purpose should nou> bo applied as
directed by the Act af Congress snd thus
give us an institution where the farmers
may give their children that practical,
industrial training so qrestly needed
among tbeiu. But how and by whom is
tbis to be done ? It must be done hy
the farmers of North Carolina and in
the same way that it wa done in Miss
issippi, Missouri, and other States whose
fund, like ours, was given to their Uni
versity in disregard of the rights of tbe
farmers and io violation of tho Act of
Congress. We must demand its trsos
fer from tbe University to a school
which in truth shall be for the industrial
training of our youth.
Again : We believe our State De
partment of Agriculture could and
should be made more useful to the farm
era of the State by whom and for whom
it was mainly established.
Bat ho* atad by whom is this to be
done ? Suppose that fort j thonssnd,
twenty thousand, ten thousand farmer*
in the State should, in their organized
oapacity. "agree toughing these
or any other question affecting their in
terests snd rights, who can doubt tbat
their wishos would be respected.
Humiliating as is tbe confession yet
candor aud truth compel us to say tbat
we are largely to blame for many of tho
grievances of wbich wo complain.
But apart from all this, do not the
oonserns of farm ltio, of farm husbandry,
matters with wbiob we are in daily and
constant contact, demand the fostering
aid of co-operation ? Should we not
learn Io profit by tho experiences and
knowledge of others? Should we not
improve our lands, our stock, out oropi
and all our systems of work t Should
we not strive *.o relieve the firming
community of the deadly incubus and
ourse of tbe mortgage system !
How are all these matters to which
we have so briefly referred to be aooom
pltshed ? Would we have better labor,
better tilage, better sy>tems, better
orops, better roads, better education for
our children, better laws for our protec
tion, better ind mere comfoi table homes;
would we lift the aspirations of our boys
and girls to a higher plane of thought
andofacti n; would we commend our
oalling to tbe rising generation aid to a
higher regard among all other classes ;
would we make tbe world feel as well
as confess that honorable labor is manly
aud elevating ; then we must accept the
lessons of uilure—of God—of tbe ex
perience of tho world in all tbe depart
ments of human effort for ages past and
avail ourselves of the only agency by
whtoh it can possibly be done:
RT 00-OPEHATION AND OBOANIZATIOK.
Tbe larmers throughout the whole
ooontry are organising. Notably i* tbe
movement assuming prominence in South
Carolina, Georgia, Ternessee, Arkansas
and Texas. Tbe farmers of the North
and North-west are growing stronger
dally, through the organizations of tbe
"Grange" and tho "Farmers Alliance."
We alt hive tbe Came grand object in
view, Til.. "To improve the condition
of the tanner aod to promote the intar
astsof agriculture."
We appeal earnestly and with confi
dence to tbe better jud meat of the far
mers of North Carolina, to organise at
once their township elubs, their oounty
slabs, then their State Association, aod
let a* think, work aod sot together for
our common good and for the advance

' THE >KVV BLEMKNT.
For tho first time tbe new element in
tbe politics of this district appeared
yesterday and we can now form some
idea of its power aud effect. Hitherto
it has been an unknown quanity. Wc
have been fighting it in tbe dark, with
tho us. Wc may now reognize it, and
seeing rather ill-defineo idea that it was
against it iu its full proportions cslculate
tbe influence it is likely to exert in fu
ture. W hcther it will always throw its
weight as it has done this time against
tho best interests of sll the people of
the district, it must, of course, itself
determine. It is to be hoped tbat it
will roalize before it goes too far, tbat
its own welfare is bound np with that of
tho rest of tbe people, and that it will
thus take a more latijnal view qj gen
eral politics. Onco let any single olass
in this country undertake to run candi
dates of its own for office regardless of
parly lines, and dirs trouble will begin

Most of our elementary book* on ety

around tbe difficulty. Tbey did not
know that our word beauteous was not
formed from beauty, but from the French
beaute. This is the reason we haye
