A CARD,
From .National President II. J..
Loncks.
To the members of the F. A. & I. U.:
On the 11th dav of June eur order suf
fered an irreparable loss in the death of
that wise counsellor, trusted Jpder and
well beloved brother, President L. L.
Polk. Why he should have teen taken
from us at this time, in the prime of life,
in the vigor of manhood, with his ripe
experience, enjoying the confidence ot
organized labor as no other man has ever
done; just on the eve of battle when all
eyes were turned to him as the Mose3 who
was to lead us into the promised land of
liberty For labor, must ever remain a
mystery to us. A nation mourns the loss
of an uncrowned king. For no other
man in the nation would so many tears
have been shed as have been and will be
shed for our dear departf i brother. He
had no gold to give, no patronage to be
stow, .no promises for the fiiute; and yet,
this plain man of the people, had more
friends who loved him, more people who
trusted him, more citizens who longed to
crown his brow with a presidential core
net, than all the wealth of Wall street
could buy or the patronage of a dozen
presidents could influence. He was the
idol of our order. It was contagious.
He was the idol of organized labor.
We ne'er shall see his like again. We
bow our heads in grief under the chasten
ing rod. We drop our tears on his con
secrated grave. We mourn the loss of the
grandest man this movement has develop
ed. It is meet that we do all this in the
memory of our brother. Feeling as he
did, that the battle ot ages was on; real
izing as he did the terrible conflict neces
sary to avert disaster: knowing as he did
ihat every man who loves this republic
must be rallied to our standard to save it
from the fate of other nations where the
wealth of the nation has aggregate d in
the hands of the few. He would to-day,
were he with us, urgejuson in the line of
duty. He would plead with us to 44 si 'ip
for the fray" push forward to the goal
he has already reached: to receive the re
ward already his. "Well done good and
faithful servent; enter into your reward."
By your choice it becomes my duty to
take up the work so suddenly sna thed
from him. I do so with a very, very heavy
heart oourage aost gone to attempt
to follow the incomparable leader. H
bids me "strip for the fray." I obeyed
his orders when living; I will obey them
now, and respond to the call ot duty.
He has plainly marked out the path I
should follow. To emulate his example
md follow in his footsteps as far as my
abilities will permit will be the surest
road to your confidence. There will be no
change of policy. I will need your aid
aud assistance more than he did. Inere
will be a meeting of the National Execu
tive Committee at Omaha, July 1st,
when plans for the futile will be out
lined. I hope to meet and consult with
many of our State officers there. In the
meantime address all communications t-
239 North Capital btreet, Washing
ington, D. C.
We can but show our respect and love
for our dear brother by consecrating our selves
anew to the cause he loved beUer
than life, each one resolving to redouble
his efforts for the grandest platform of
principles ever enunciated by any body of
men; the emancipation of labor from the
power of money to oppress by constitu
tional methods at the ballot box.
Fraternally,
H. L. Loucks,
President N. F. A. & I. U.
Hon. Sid Alexander s osition.
House of Rephesektatiyes, U. S.
Washington, June 20, 1892.
Col. R B. Moore, Dear Sir :
Your letter informing me that my
position in regard to the government
ownership of railroads (an Alliance
demand) is not well understood in
your city was duly received. I stated
that, as between a railroad commis
sion with power to make freight and
passenger rates and government own
ership, I believed the latter the best,
that there is no warrant in the con
stitution for the government to pur
chase railroads and that it was too
far in the future to warrant discus
sion now; that is I do not propose to
take any action in regard to it. I
have not introduced any measure re
lating to it, nor do I iitencl to intro
duce any. Recent information in re
gard to some o my critics leads me
to believe that the erravaman of my
offence is really in my being an officer
- . -w - .
of the NorthCarohna Farmers btate
Alliance, ard I doubt if they would
understand my position on anything.
In the coming? campaign I will do
what I can to insure the election of
our State and Xrtional tickets, and
I am sure that when our people
realize that the election decides
whether North Carolina's vote shall
be counted by North Carolinians, or
by Federal officers, perhaps from
New England, they will not hesitate
to do their duty in keeping JNortli
Carolina in the "Democratic column.
Thanking you for your kindness I
am yours truly,
S. B. Alexander.

GIVE ONE DOLLAR
To Erect a Monument to Perpeturte the
Memory of this Brave North Caroli
nian and Great Leader of the
People.
The Polk Memorial Association
has been organized, with prominent
citizens of North Carolina at the
head, to raise. a fund for the purpose
of erecting over the grave at lial-
eigh a grand monument to perpetu
ate the memory or that brave and
distinguirhed North Carolinian and
and great leader of the people, Col.
L. L. Polk.
Knowing that 111113" of his friends
and admirers in Granville county
and elsewhere would be glad and
esteem it a privilege to give some
thing in this direction, the Public
Ledger has decided to solicit con
tributions.
We ask for One Dollar contribu-
1 1 1 1
oions a small sum which everyone
disposed to do so can easily spare.
Larger sums will also be accepted.
We will deposit all money sent us
in the Banking House of J. C.
Cooper &.Sons, subject to the order
of the central committee. The
names of the senders and the
amounts they give will be publish
ed in this column.
A Tribute to C ol. iollc.
On concluding his address before
the Omaha convention, Chairman
Ellington said:
"I believe it is possible for this rep
resentative body to meet, take coun
sel, perform its work and adjourn
without one single word of discord,
not one of hateful strife to mar and
deface its glorious record. We have
readied a crisis in our history and
this meeting will show whether or
not we measure up to the responsi
bilities or the hour. Vv e are here
to-day with the shadow of a great
trouble resting upon us. He whom
our hearts delighted to honor; our
leader, the true, the tried the honest
Polk is dead; has lust been taken
from us when we needed him mosf.
"Our hearts mourn his loss. No
loftier soul ever breathed, none work
ed harder, suffered more, spent more
than he did. He gave his life to our
beloved cause and we do not believe
it was given in vain. Oh, shade of
the loving, great Polk, may the man
tle of thy spirit fall upon us to-day
in our deliberations to the end that
we ma7 be like-minded. I call upon
you to-da7 in his name, that if there
be a single vestige, an iota of section
al feeling left in the hearts of any of
us, to wipe it out. I charge . it sa
credly that while we stand in the
shadow of Polk's great love, we con
secrate ourselves to the great work
of reforming this government, and
that the man who honestly desires
its reformation is our brother and I
want to say that we can reform it.
I beleive that we will reform it."
The reference to the deceased Presi
dent of the organization was received
with cheers and when the picture of
President Polk was handed to him
by chairman S. Otho Wilson, of the
North Carolina delegation,and hoist
ed into view the vast convention with
one accord arose and the scene was
one of befitting reverence to the
memory of their leader.
Reserving: Praise.
We desire to say to our citizens that for years
we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery
for consumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills,
Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and
have never hand! cd remedies that sell as well, or
that have civen such universal satisfaction. We
do not hesitate to guarantee them every time,
and we stand ready to refund the purchase price
if satisfactory results do not follow their use
These remedies have won their great popularity
purely on their merits. J. G, Hall, druggist.
