It now em braces all the cotton States. - Soon it will embrace all the great States that are tributary to the Mis sissippi river. The lines or parallels of progress and development; of trans portation and enterprise, have run from the East to the "West. The consolidation proposed will bring into our organization all the South Atlantic and Gulf States. These States produce a crop in which they have no rival nor competitor in the world a cropthat controls the com merce of tie nations. They should control that crop. The Northwestern Stajos that will join us, control the bulk of the wheat and corn and meat crops of this country. Combine and organize these great States, con trolling these immense resources and forces and thus form a solid block of States across the country from the Gulf to the Lakes, cutting in twain the lines or parallels referred to and we have the controlling power, indus trially, socially and politically, in our hand. We will then be in position dictate the policy commercially and politically of the country. This is a birds-eye view of the great work which is now crystalizing and which in our judgment is to save the coun try from anarchy and which is to preserve our free institutions and' our republican form of government. The consolidation will represent at least 3,000,000 of men, a large ma jority of whom are in the South,, but when the Northwestern- States shall be organized as thoroughly as are the Southern States, we will be the most powerful organization ever known to this country or to the world and under the guidance and favor of God, it will accomplish the noblest and grandest work ever wrought by men. OUR STATE MEETING. CROWDED as we are for space and time, we can only allude briefly to the meeting of -the State Alliance, a partial report of whose proceedings appears in our columns of to-day. The most harmonious and fraternal spirit characterized the pro ceedings throughout. It was a body of strong-minded, independent, con servative, earnest and 'patriotic men. It did good work. The order in our State will receive new inspiration and fresh courage from its action. ' We . vmove onward with quickened step and firmer faith. We have a strong Ex ecutive Committee and loyal, enthusi--- astic and efficient officers. The dele . gates and members all returned to their homes impressed more than ever before, that the farmers of the State , have at last become awakened to a sense of the situation and to the real ization of the important truth that we must depend on our own resources for the relief that we so much need and that we must have. Differences of opinion naturally existed as to methods and means, but as to ends to be accomplished, there was but one purpose and one desire, hence ' the unity of feeling that prevailed was healthful and invigorating. We take another long step forward and catch a better view of the brightening dawn. A brother writes as follows: "In Cedar Fork township, Wake county, x Mr. J. p. Sorrell's entire crop of wheat and oats, which was in stacks and pens, was nnenmAj t n the night of the 17th of July. It was the work of an incendiajy. , NORTH CARQMNA FARMERS' STATE ALLIANCE., PAYEtTEViixt, Nfcng-IS, 1889.

ALEXANDER, TO THE N. C. FARMERS' STATE ALLI ANCE AT ITS THIRD ANNUAL SESSION HELD AT FAYETTEVILLE, N. C, AUG. 13, 14, 15, 1889, Officers and Delegates of the North Caro Y Una Farmers' State Alliance The third annual meeting of the North Carolina Farmers' .State Alli ancemarks an era of unity of action among the agricultural and laboring classes that is phenomenal, ancT'l con gratulate you in representing an order in numbers and intelligence that; ha3 had no equal in our State. . Less than six months old, at our first annual meeting, it had eight county Alliances and 132 Sub-Alliances. At the 5 sec ond annual meeting it had fifty-two county Alliances and 1,018 Sub-Alliances, and to-day we have 89 cointy Alliances and 1,816 Sub-Alliances with an approximate membership of 72 thousand members. So rapidly has the State been organized that many of the Sub-Alliances have not been in structed in the purposes and princi. pies of our order as thoroughly as they should De, to insure their active and effective work. The important work of organizing new Sub-Alliances in unorganized sections can be com. pleted before our - next annual meet ing. I refer you to the reports of the Executive Committee, Secretary, Treasurer, State Lecturer and Organ izer and State Business Agent for the condition of our order, and deem it unnecessary to say more than to com- T.i . mena inem to your earnest considera tion. At the last meeting of the Na-" tional Alliance, a basis of union was agreed upon between the National Alliance and the National Agricultur al Wheel and the Union. This, if ratified, will change the name of the national organization to "The Farm ers' and Laborers' Union.'' It does not change our State name nor effect us in anyway, as all the important features of the constitution of the Na tional Farmers' Alliance are retained in the proposed constitution of "The Farmers and Laborers' vtJni6n." I recommend its adoption asrii'adds very much; to the strength of ; the'.Na tional organization andwiil caxable it to accomplish work that it. has-. been too weak to do heretofore. I -believe other farmers' and laborers' organiza tiops" wJU join, us at out nex national meeting at St. Louis; and :aistf a better understanding will be arrived at with other labor organizations These organizations were brought into exis tence by monefpoiy and.as. long as mo nopoly shapes our laws to rob the peo ple the war must go on until monopoly is dethroned or the, people . crushed. i-" ALLIANCE DEMANDS.:' - 1 ' The " demands " made at our last meeting for certain legislation have not been granted, and'I "would respectful ly and earnestly recommend that you determine at this meeting, to either abandon making political demands or take such action as will ensure your demands being complied with. If you resolve on the latter course I suggest that hereafter all demands be submitted to the Sub-Alliances for rat ification and wherttbree fourths of the Sub-Alliances ratify a demand, have your President issue a proclamation setting it forth as the demand of the State Aliance. .The discussion in, the Sub-Alliances will inform the mem bers as to the necessity and propriety of the demands, and the" members knowing that they made the demands will see that they are enforced and then "taffy" and 'love 'J., .for the farmers and laborers will give , way for measures of real benefit. I would also suggest that you send no petitions after a demand has been made. De mands and petitions are incompatible.1 If we are to beg let us do it in the approved style, and not demand one moment and beg the next. . ALLIANCE CHARTER. With the approval of your Execu tive Committee I had a charter pre pared incorporating the State Alli ance and each county and Sub-Alliance (provided only those Alliances that should accept it should be incor porated.) It is a liberal charter and I commend it to your favorable con sideration. One very important sec tion of the charter was stricken out by the Senate, and I will bring it to your attention at another time. This action of the Senate and the contempt with which it treated your demands, and petitions clearly shows that it was hostile to us. We had a few friends there and they deserve our thanks. An inspection of the Senate journals will show you who were for us and who against us. , : STATE BUSINESS AQINOY. The State Business Agency has not proved the success we anticipated and I urge you to give this department every thing you can to make it what it ought to be. It is the right arm of the Alliance, and if you do nothing else at this meeting but perfect this department you will deserve well of the Alliance. Its failure to do what is expected of it creates .a desire for co-operative stores. This is to be re gretted, for co-operative : stores hae no place in the plan of. the Alliance. The Alliance was brought into exis tence to protect the agricultural and laboring classes against1 monopoly not to make merchants and its agency system is the only one I have ever seen that suits the present con dition of the farmers and laborers of our country. Let us keep it within its sphere and not form entangling alliances that will effect our credit and weaken our order. THE LECTURER'S DEPARTMENT. The strength of the,. Alliance con sists in the individual intelligence of its membership. This fact makes the Lecturer's department of more im portance than any of the others. I recommend that you give the Lec turer more assistants and define their duties so they (the lectjurer and as sistants) alone; will be held responsi ble for their work. 5 They "should be made the authorized agents of our National and State Organs and for such other Alliance literature as will benefit the order.- If we can sei our membership to read our paper, 'and uiiitJi liieraturt!, to Keep tnem in formed of our progress, to better understand our purposes, We will be able to accomplish whatever we undertake without it. we will fail. for no people can act together without understanding the questions that confront them and the measures demanded for their relief. An in telligent membership is more to be desired than numbers, for open ene mies are few in comparison to those of the "advisory family," many of wnom are equally as shrewd as their ancestor who "got in his work " on the mother of mankind in the Garden of Eden. - The financial condition of the mem bership has not improved since our last meeting, nor can I see any hope hope of improvement as long as trusts and combines fix the price on nearly everything we buy or sell. Whether crops are good or bad, they manage to leave the farmer in about the same condition; and thus the intelligent and ambitious young men of the country are being driven to the towns and cities. They see "the few" in the cities controlling corporate power by which they annually collect mil lions of dollars, no matter whether the seasons are good or bad, and lured by chance they take ' thS r 'risk' This making it easier for a man to get rich In the city than in the country has caused the downfall of ;4he civiliza tions that Jiaye proceeded, us, as it enr abled "the few," by combines, td create .-monopolies by whjch they roobed the people of their wealth and political power, and"wheir the enor mous -wealth of " the'fewVi became so great that it was not remunerative, in the cities, they monopolized the -land of the country and the people .became vassals in fact'. When the Goths and Vendals conquered Rome, they1only conquered the" 1 barbarians "of - Rome. mad& so by Roman laws.that enabled "J? l? n PPSI "tlio r frn. k no T,o WoCialS Which" VUV J-V -W A VPt AAtAAJP J TTTT.vT jahat aqt thus, destroy individual intel ligence, for individual 'intelligence cannot exis rwithout individual ability to acquire it Tn:classes to which our membership belong have suffered worse than others from evil laws in all the civilizations that ; bave, pro ceeded us, ,2 and if we fail to; do our duty," we cannot complain when we find i like laws produce like results." To you, delegates, 6tlr order in thi3 State looks for guidance, and in returning to you the. Executive badge, I return my sincere . thanks to the State Alliance, to each County and Sub-Alliance, and,to the members in dividually for -the , kindness and con sideration shown me, and especially do I commend to your consideration my associate officers of the State Alliance. They, not I, deserve your praise for the great work of organiz ing our State so well.: To you, delegates, the welfare of the Alliance is entrusted; on your labor it relies, for those laws that will promote the welfare of our members and the advancement of . our order. May God bless your labors and bless the Alliance. . .',,' y. i ' The Secretary then presented tis Annual Report, as follows: -4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY ?OF THE NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS' STATE ALLIANCE, AUG. 13, 1889. Bro. President and Members of the North Carolina Farmers' State Alii y ance; The condition and spirit of the order in our Ltate is gratifying and hopeful. Our growth and progress during the year just passed, has been steady and of a substantial character. A better understanding and compre hension of our principles and purposes has grown out of discussion and inves tigation, and has done much to dis arm prejudice and opposition and has had the happy effect . in our brother hood of strengthening the weak, con vincing the doubtful and of "confirm ing the strong. At your last annual meeting we had 1,018 subordinate Alliances in the State with fifty-two County Alliances, with an aggregate membership on our rolls approximat ing forty-two thousand. To-day we have 1,816 Subordinate Alliances with 89 County Alliances and an aggregate membership approximating 72 thou sand. During the year twenty Sub ordinate Alliances (not included in the above statement) surrendered their charters. Six of these united with other Alliances, and in many cases a majority of the members at tached themselves to other Alliances and are thus still identified with us and are doing faithful work. All the counties in the State have county organizations except the follow ing: Alleghany, Ashe, Dare, Graham, Macon, New Hanover and SurryJ In these, the following have ( Subordinate Alliances, as follows: Ashe, two ; Ma con, one; Surry, one. Since your last meeting, ' Cotinty Alliances have been organized iri the following counties : Alexander, Beau fort, Bertie, Buncombe, Burke, Cald well, Camden, Carteret, Catawba, Cherokee,' Chowan, Clay; Currituck, Gaston, Gates, Guilford, Haywood, Henderson, Hertford, Hyde, Jackson, McDowell, Madisolr, Mitchell, Pamlicd, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Polk, Stokes, Swain, Transylvania, Tyrrell, Wash ington, Watauga, Wilkes, Yancey. One hundred and forty-four deputy organizers have been commissioned during the year, but in most cases it was a renewal of commissions which had expired. Very many of these were commissioned to complete the organization of their counties. Bra. G. B. Pickett, of Texas, served us in the capacity of State Lecturer and Organizer nearly two months, con cluding his work in October last Bro. D. Reid Parker, of Trinity Col lege, was appointed State Lecturer by our Executive r? Committee and has acted in that capacity up to date. Bro. Harry Tracy, of Texas, was secured by our Executive Committee' and has been lecturing in our State since the 6th of last June, i RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.

Resolved, We again declare our deliberate judgment, that the enact ment of such a railroad commission in North Carolina is a necessity, and that the demand for such legislation is just, reasonable and proper. Resolved, With full confidence in the correctness of our position upon the question, we again demand of the General Assembly of North Carolina the enactment of a railroad commis sion law with full powers to the com missioners to regulate freight -and passenger rates upon a just and reasonable basis, and with further power to investigate and take suitable action with respect to damages or injuries to persons and property, j Resolved, That it is the deliberate sense of this State Alliance that the farmers of the State should go into the primary meetings and if possible secure the nomination of such men for seats in the General Assembly as will use their best efforts to enact a railroad commission bill. . Resolved, That the State Secretary shall transmit a copy of these resolu tio'ns to the Secretaries of the1 Sub ordinate and County Alliances, who. will submit them to. their respective Alliances for ratification and snalll certify the action of the same to the State Secretary. . 1 v Sundry resolutions on various sub jects were introduced and referred to proper committees, among them strong resolutions by W. J. Green on trusts and combinations, Which were subsequently adopted and ordered to be transmitted to the National Farm ers' and Laborers' Union, and to the Inter-State Farmers Association. Bro. C. W. Macune, President of the National Farmers' Alliance, and Co-operative Union of America, ') was presented by President Alexander and made a most admirable address ; and which was received with the warmest enthusiasm. A resolution to reduce the salary of the Secretary and the per diem of the Executive Committee elicited considerable discussion and was voted down by a vote of 71 to 1 7.
