Yet the continual ho-o is raised that the Alliance, Wheel and like organizations should steer clear of politics. Like Col.

What it needs is to be political enough to send honest farmer and laborers to the National who are not in rail roads, nor banks nor corporations.

We further told him that there was much in his letter that we wished to And we further re- quested him to write to the and on matters of interests as freely as he have done at any time within the past ten years. nave suggested to the editor of the Reflector that it would be the fair and just thing for him to request Mr. to furnish our letter to that paper for publication.

We commended the formation of the Alliance because we thought its purpose and object to advance their As a citizen, and as an editor, the movement has had our thorough and still will have our most dial co-operation in every phase or as- of it which promises anything use- to the farmers. We, however, do not think it will be of advantage to the farmers of Carolina to make their Alliance a cal body or political party. In its in- we understood it to be and we the gnat body of the farmers of this State desire that it shall remain so. We have used every exertion we were capable of to interest the farmers in certain economic subjects that hear upon prosperity, and which ought not to be regarded as of a partisan nature. Among these we may mention the ration of silver as a money metal; crease of our currency; the reduction of interest; the lessening of taxes; the re- of the price of manufactured goods; abolishing the restraints on com- so that our agricultural products, which And a market abroad, would bring better prices. For years we have point- ed out the great of our cultural interests, being in that matter, years ahead of any other writer on that subject. We have not considered these mutters as being of a partisan nature, but have urged all to study with a view to correct evils and promote the prosperity of the country. In addition we have called the of the Southern particular- to what we have designated as the Northern System, by which the of government have been largely placed upon the South, while the benefits have been enjoyed at the North. We have illustrated by the pension business which is a practical mortgage on the South of five hundred millions of dollars; and also by the protective tariff which is a virtual mortgage on the South of sever- billions of dollars. We have potted out the conflict of interest between the man- and the farmer, who is a con- sumer, and how the law secures wages of a year on an average for the labor of men, women and children the Northern factories, while the labor here in Celt's la only a year.

Mr. Wolcott, junior Senator from Colorado made the final effort of consequence the great contest- It was bis maiden effort before e Senate, and the chamber, has remained comparatively of late, was filled with an audience anticipation of something worth listening to. He made a stirring speech, without the use of notes, and at close was accorded an ovation, as is seldom seen in the Senate. Ordinarily neither members or visitors in the galleries pretend to listen to a speech in Congress. Although com decency is observed it is a great difficulty to bear an ordinary speaker.

The first tobacco cured in the State this season was cured in Wilson county. The Reflector has a leaf brought us by Mr. B. C. Pearce, which was cured by Mr. Lucas in the county mentioned. He cured a barn full of the under leaves called primings that are usually thrown a Way. The specimen we have is good and the grade it is said will readily bring cents a pound. Mr. Lucas sold his lot for cents. Saving and curing these primings heretofore thought worthless will be a good thing for the farmers as the crop will be just that much profitable. We hear that Mr. G. F. Evans is about to cure a barn.

At the conclusion of his address a magnificent was presented to him by J. H. John- of Bethel, in behalf of the school. Col.

Both girls and boys acquitted themselves well. The concert was a grand success and every thing passed off pleasantly.

There was only a small attendance at the meeting at the Academy last Wednesday afternoon, but those pres- showed they were deeply interest- ed and fully in accord with the movement to secure a good for Greenville. Mayor F. G. James was asked to over the meeting, the object of which was explained by Prof. John Duckett. Remarks were made by several of the gentlemen present and suggestions offered as to the best steps to take to accomplish the purpose in view. All were agreed that a good male school was needed and that the patronage would be ample to sustain one. It was decided to appoint a committee to take the matter in hand, make of the town and community to ascertain the number of boys of proper age and the probable number that would attend the school, correspond with teachers, and report the result at a subsequent meeting of the citizens. The appointed was J. B. Yellowley, C. A. White, John J. H. Tucker and T. J. Jarvis. The committee is now at work look- after all matters that tend to success of the school. The tor is fully confident that's good male school will be opened in Green- ville this fall, and what is more, from the sentiment that came out at the meeting we feel safe in predicting that at no far distant day a building will be in course of erection for the a school Let the good work go on.

An Address To the Voters Carolina by the Democratic Committee. Rooms o State Ex. Com., S. Jane To Voters of North At a meeting of the Democratic State Executive Committee, held in this city on the 10th instant, it was resolved that the Democratic State Convention be held in the city of Raleigh on the 20th of August, 1800. It will devolve on this convention to nominate for vacancies now filled by of the Governor a Chief Justice and one Associate of the Supreme Court, and Judges of the Superior Court for First. Fourth. Fifth and Eighth Districts. Also Judges of the So Court for the Second, Sixth. Seventh and Eleventh Districts, to succeed the present incumbents, whose terms and to adopt a platform of principles, and for other business as may properly come before it. The convention is called to meet later than in to suit the con- of the great masses of the Democratic voters, so that a fuller representation, reflecting a more genera sentiment may be insured ; and it is desirable that the gates shall attend. The Democratic party the people of the State upon the material and moral advance- under its beneficent ad ministration of affairs, and, having redeemed its pledges in the past, presents its claims to them for a continuance of that confidence to which it is justly entitled, fully as sured that they will be recognized, and the interests of all classes thus The term for which Hon.

There can be no of the grand victory if we do our fall duty. Unceasing is the price which we must pay for success, but when we consider what defeat means to us, the sacrifice is small.

The Democrats last sought to make some changes in the laws and policy of the government for the advantage of the farmers, but the Republican Senate stood as a stonewall against the passage these measures. The and in vain. The Senate would not hear. They turned a deaf ear to the patriotic statesman who presented the facts of the situ- and plead for the interest of the farmers. We have now had the proof of the pudding. The country has tasted and the taste is not good. The situation is known by expert but it not rest merely on the testimony of private individuals. The Department, of Agriculture it- self the fact before Congress, and the facts speak louder coming from that because the is a Republican.

This country pays more pen- than all other countries com- The people can't realize how they are robbed and burdened by pen- and other Federal taxes. A statistician, who has thoroughly studied the question, says that the pensioning scheme, as it operates to- day, costs Southern farmers every year one of each ten bales of cotton they produce. When the pensions aggregate, as they will next year, each cotton planter will contribute a bale and a half of each ten he produces to help pay the immense army of, in many instances wealthy beggars. The soldier vote is a big thing in the North and the Republican party passes all sorts of unjust laws to win and hold it, and we are sorry to see some Northern Democrats join with them in doing so. North Carolina pays a total of about Federal taxes of all kinds, which is about twenty times as much as she pays for State taxes. Yet if the Republican party stays in power more Federal taxes will have to be paid by the heavily tax-ridden people to meet that par- extravagance. The reason there is comparatively o little at the Federal taxation is it is collected in- directly; but this docs not prevent its burdensome effect. In fact it is far more burdensome; because for every dollar collected in the shape of tariff on imports about nine dollars is paid by the consumer in ed price of manufactured articles.
