During the last three years, I in Raleigh, my whole income all sources has been barely to support my family, although we live My entire estate, belonging to my wife, would probably bell for more than seventeen or eighteen thousand dollars it is by unpaid mortgages of over three years standing for dollars. Even my home is gaged half its purchase money. do my banking with Citizens Bank of this For three years the enemies of Democracy, with evil and vicious eyes, have turned the searchlight inspection upon my life character. In the midst of it all I have no quarters none. I ask none now, but there is a difference between injustice from foes and injustice from friends. The form may be regarded with the latter is shaper than a tooth. My Democracy is without stand i square and for every principle and declaration in our platforms, State and National, and Mr. Bryan, the great leader of our hosts. There is a well and large- successful movement certain pins of tho State to against favor of my certain interests which, though usual- acting with the Democratic Party, are out of sympathy with city, its books will show I actually hostile to some of its J.

First, that Senator Vance op- posed my confirmation as Collector upon grounds derogatory lo my personal Second, that I am charged wit being a secret agent of the South- Railway Company, and it and other corporations have been, and are now, paying me large sum of money to protect interests as a lobbyist and and you express the opinion, in which I concur, as I am a candidate for their the people are entitled to know facts with reference to charges, In reply, I beg to say that Sena- tor Vance's opposition to my was not based upon per- grounds and no charge against my personal character was made in connection with that mat- At the time of my appoint- Collector, Vance, the other Senator and all the democratic congress- men from North Carolina, favored me. The subsequent opposition of Senator Vance to my arose out of with the appointment of the Collector for the Western District of North The records of the Senate and the delegation in Congress from this at that time will bear out t statements. With reference lo the second charge to which you refer, I beg to say it is not true that am attorney agent, either secret, or other of the Southern road. I have never appeared for that railroad in any capacity. It has never paid, me a cent of in my life, except a made to me as Chairman of the Committee in which was spent for benefit of the party. On the contrary, have appeared and am appearing against It ma- suits. During the last three since I to law in Raleigh, I have been of counsel in recovering a number of judgments II, one of them for as much its three hundred dollars, and now appear of In quite a number of against it, in which my clients claim damages for from thirty to forty thousand dollars. I am also of counsel against it the tax as- cases.

When the campaign of this year closed, the committee was very much behind. There were a of urgent bills to Ire met, for which I was responsible. I rowed, upon the endorsement of a from the Farmers Bank of this city, one thousand dollars gave it to the Committee as my contribution to the campaign. Painful as it is to do so, I deem it proper to make this about my private affairs that people of the State may see how unjust and cruel are the charges which it is being sought to injure and destroy my reputation. the last three years I have given to the Democratic a year of my time w any compensation, having actually rowed money to pay, in part, my expenses while engaged in this work, and I ha-e also given to it this year more than one-seventh of my I have done this and if my State should ever again into the horrible from which it has res- cued, and again wish my services I shall not answer not now, but at a more season. I have not made, and do not to make any demands the party for the sacrifices. A party has a right to expect, in time and money sacrifices from its adherents, bill no party exigencies can require the sacrifice of a man's character. During the last three years have heaped upon me a degree of slander and vituperation which before fell the lot of any man the Stale I have borne these with pa- counting myself fortunate that I was considered worthy to suffer the name of the for which I was struggling. This abuse has been directed me not as an individual, but I have denounced by the mies Democracy everything done by the Democratic which has pleased them. It seems that these charges made by the e revamped are circulated to my detriment by men in my own party, because, forsooth, I am the way of the ambition of their favorite. So be It, am not the only victim. Others, yea of others, have felt tho mailed band of a which brooks no opposition to the of its purpose, and which, though it was not has recently become In country a power mightier him- self. principles and policies, and more or less unfriendly to our candidate for the Presidency. I have apologies to make o for my advocacy of principles of the Democratic National platform, nor for my earnest admiration and support of Mr. Bryan.

But, if the consideration of party service is to be limited to the last two campaign then I believe I can make u respectable showing without detracting from the services of others. these two campaigns all did their duty, as it was given to them, from our able faithful Chairman down to the township the great Dailies to the teaming no one HUM has a monopoly of the victory, our won its heroic and determined effort to establish aim maintain good Carolina.

Bryan Crimes, of the North Carolina Tobacco Grow- Association, addressed a letter recently to Mr. O. L. Joyner, warehouseman of at N C, in which this i was of the acreage in la Virginia. North Car- and South Carolina, it would appeal the type of tobacco, the of which is confined largely to those States, should of necessity advance. What is your opinion of the outlook for prices this fall I will be glad if you will the of tobacco farmers careful, serious thought, and views of the our- look and remedy in article in the Southern Tobacco Mr. Joyner's article Hon. J. Bryan Grimes, Free. N. Association, H. C. My I received your communication of August S I have given the subject to which you refer considerable thought. If we are to judge from the report of the shortage in acreage the crop condition, which in my ion are not exaggerated, it would seem that tin advance very materially over last season. It been argued that been a surplus of made for the last live veal's, and this will, it is said, tend to keep the price some How true Ibis is do not know, but I do the price of tobacco advances, especially the letter grades of it, very much over the prices of lust year, the thousands of idle barns in the fields of eastern North Carolina next year will em- the fact that this section of the State will no longer to keep the surplus up. Farmer are generally slow to act, usually take a conservative view of the conditions surrounding them, and will continue longer at a losing game and keep up better cheer than any other class or pro- of men in the world; but like a herd of buffaloes frenzied and crazed by heat, when they stampede for some stream from which to their thirst are headstrong and determined, so it is with the masses of farmers. They continue from year to year to plant tobacco, hoping that each year will bring prices, and they have gradually seen prices go lower and lower until now they are on a verge of a headstrong stampede for the first relief that is offered; and here in eastern North Carolina, where our lands are generally in a high state of cultivation, that relief is offered in the cotton crop. Cotton is selling at better than it has brought in ten years. fer tn grow cotton, because they have inherited it to some extent and it is less laborious. The same cause which has advanced the price great law of supply demand, which is just as incontrovertible as the laws of in my opinion surely advance the price of co when the supply only equals I do not say. however, that sup- ply demand absolutely prices, for systematic organization and combination of tobacco buy- even when the supply is leas than the demand, can will do a great deal toward controlling the price; but I do assert that the law of supply and demand is the chief factor in controlling prices, and by thorough organization of the tobacco farmers I shall attempt to show conclusively that the grow- complete masters of the situation from prism. The trouble is gelling at approximately ac- curate estimate of the supply. When known, in my opinion this chief controlling will begin lo assert itself. There are other very powerful agencies which operate the price of to- . chief among which is the lack harmony concerted action on the part of the farmers themselves in planting marketing their Notwithstanding there is a of opinion that the crop in three principal bright tobacco is re- in acreage and condition something near forty per cent, yet if farmers begin marketing their tobacco so as to sell ail of it in two or three months, it is sore to fol- low that there will be glutted mar blocked sales, broken down buyers and con- low prices. These ed sales, as I may call them, give the impression also that the crop has underestimated. those governed by the sup ply their orders on the sever- markets, and judge the crop by their receipts as compared with a similar period last year. Hence when the crop is thrown upon the market in a time, say two or three months, the re- for this time may be as heavy in a crop of forty million pounds as if it were a seventy pound crop. In reference to the organization of the tobacco the bright tobacco growing States, I should say by all means let the work be pushed continuously vigorous from the counties that produce the smallest quantity of tobacco to those which produce millions. Let the work of the organization education lie carried until every man, from the poorest plow- man with his one acre patch to mightiest landlord with his vast estates are their names enrolled as joint partners in the same cause. There be no possible by any one to an organized fort on the part of the great co producers for the betterment of their condition. Organization will bring the farmers together; thus the work of education by interchange of ideas and views. Education is nothing but the ex- of the natural talent or sense, and if coming together exchanging ideas opinions liberate the mind to a more generous construction of our and our duty one to the the effort will not have been vain. By complete and thorough such can be affected. If the farmers, or a few of them in each community, will take act- interest it a better under- standing of the situation can lie had. One half the misery of the all the disagreement man and bis fellow is the result of not properly under- standing the position each pies. The relation of the producer to the manufacturer is mighty closely allied, and yet how far apart are they the conception of duty each to the other. By organization he who sweats and toils to make it possible for the manufacturer to make wealth and comfort from his scanty sup- port and will get closer their relation to each other, and when we understand the motives which prompt each other's action, the responsibility can be located and from the vantage ground thus gained our rights can be enforced and our wrongs made right. If the manufacturer converts your raw material into greater profits you have realized, it is simply because he is better organ- has advantage and uses it. If special laws are passed that protect his interests, it is the result combination of if- fort. If your crop of tobacco, that has cost you seven cents a pound i mil outlay of cash on an economic basis, Haying nothing about the risk of and flood the sleepless nights you have spent in curing it, sells ten cents a pound it does not sell for more because you arc nut I, and do not work in ninny.
