i The. question as to whether the
furmers should organize in a solid
pbulanx iii! order to demand relief
from the unjust and "oppressive laws
of our eountry, has bet'n much dis
cussed by the pn'ss, but to our mind
and with the light of understanding
given us, we nnhesitatingly say that
onlythrougli organization can they
ertr obtain the desired relief. j
Ilatiently and silently the, farmers
have waited for years for the politi
cians, to secure relief for them, when
sent as their law-makers, but invari
ably their interests, have been neg
lected. ',' ; .''; . .' ; ' ; r

is easily to be seen that when r lml-

requires an increase in me vomuie ul
money sufficient to keep pace with
the increased demand of business,
and of course if the volume of money

Jhi Appeal, from Prejadlr e to
Reasoa.- '
We have; never thought that the
fitrniers, were unrvasonatde. Our
ou experience and intercourse with
them Confirms the belief that, they
constitute the most conservative- elej
ment of our population, and that the
way in whiich their catises has hwri
represented by stme neWspipei-s is
totally unwarranted. The truth is,
the farmers have been ; placed I in a
false positibn by some of ithe press.
They are nbt ofiice-stfkers, butare
lipintr msifld in ciinrvirt: tl il!iirr-
ous doctrines of men who are ,und-
have al wavs 'been. ,We ask the far-
mers of North Carolina to listen to
ami consider, and : theu do their own
thiukilig, Discard passion, prejudice"
and appealj to -reason for guidance.
Our. grievances are not so great that
they eunnot be rtilresseu by safe
