THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1880. The Farmer?? Alliance* 'Perhaps rio organization has ever grown so fast, and becomo in a few years snob a power in tho land, as tho organization known as tho Farm ers' Alliance. Thc origin and history of such movements must always bc of interest to mankind, and es pecially to all who may be helped by thom in tho stern conflict of life. Tho following brief account of the origin and history of the Alliance we toko from Garvin & Dows' History of tho National Farmers' Alliance and Co-Oporntivo Union of Ameri ca :" Tho name, Fanners' Alliance, orig inated in 1875, in Lampusas county, Texas. It seems that the first set tlers were troubled a great deal about tho land on which they had settled, and also had trouble lo keep What stock they had. Tho great cattle kings were opposed lo the settlement of tho country, and would frequently drive off the farmers' cattle and other stock. This necessarily compelled thom to unite for protection, and the Farmers' Alliance was formed. The Alliance grew until in 187'-' it had spread over Lampusas and three or four adjoining counties, when a few designing men converted it into a poli tical party which virtually destroyed that organization. Within a year not one of those Alliances remained. In the year 1879 W. T. Huggett, a member of the old Alliance from Coryell county, moved to Parker county, ?md settled al Poolville. Ile Organized thc first Alliance at Pool ville, ..uly 29, 187!). Among; the early members of this first Alliance were banty frontiersmen, banded together as a band ol' brothers, work ing together for the interest of them selves, their families and the country | in which they lived. Realizing the needs of the fanning classes, and profiting by the experience of the past), the first Alliance was founded by men of integrity, men of justice and light, men who believe in the principles of cqunl rights to all men, mon who went lo wink organizing the Alliance, fully cognizant of thc uvils and opposition that awaited their efforts. These men conceived tho plan to lift them above the mhehiiintiotis of capital ?sis, who were striving to place them in a slate ol' dependence, and to avoid Ibis lin? Alliance was formed. In thc first organization al Poolville, all party political features were struck out from thc original Lampusas declaration ul' principles, uniting the order in non-partisan brotherhood, guided by thc sole ob ject ol': "The general good of the producing niasses.'" Truly and faith fully did these carly members work, meeting great opposition and pr?ju dice, yet they were not discouraged, but. worked on, prom pt ed by patri otic motives, striving for tho adjust ment of tile objects id' the order, the motto of wi doll is: "In things essential, unity, and in all things, charity." Parker and thc adjoining counties wero largely settled l? enterprising farmers from the North and Fast. These men were convinced that the organization was intended for good to their fellow-men, ami that it had already accomplished much good, and could accomplish more, and all wont to work willi a will lo succeed. Thus was the Alliance formed. A second Alliance was formed at Cen tral, Parker county, and a third in Jack county, Texas. . The first mooting of thc Stale Al liance was held at Central, Parker County, Texas, lt was composed of delegates from twelve Sub-Alliances. Several meetings were held in the year 1870, lo preparo ami perfect ? new Constitution and Ritunl. There is nothing new in tho principles upon which the Alliance is founded. Tlioy nre ns old as lime itself. Tho prin ciples of the order are as follows : 1. To labor for the ?ducation of the agricultural classes in the science of economical gov< rimient, in a strictly non-partisan spirit. 2. To indorse thc motto : "In things essential, unity, in all things, charity." 8. To develop a better slate, men tally, morally,socially and financially. .I. To create a belter understand ing for sustaining civil officers in maintaining law and order. ?. To constantly strive lo secure entire harmony and good will muong nil mankind and brotherly love nmong ourselves. ('?. To suppress personal, local, sec tional and national prejudices ; all unhealthy rivalry and all selfish am bition. 7. Thc brightest jewels which it garners are the tears of widows and orphans, and its imperativo com mands arc io visit thc homos when bice juted hearts are bleeding; lo as suage the sufferings of a brother <>r Bister; bury thc dead; caro forth? widows and educate tl to orphans : lo exercise charily towards offender to construe WOl'ds and deeds in their | most favorable light, granting hoc _ esty of purpose and good iulmi'_:l0ns to others; and lo protect l\\o princi ples of thc Alliance uiit-'o death. Hs laws are reason and orjuity, ?tH cardi nal doctrines inspire purity of thought and life, mid ils intent ions arc, "Peace on earth and good will town rds men." Thc Farmers' Alliance is not, as some imagine, a combination arrayed in antagonism to other trades ol' classes of citizens, lt, is, however, a combination for self protection, lo nourish and stimulate lliosc cardinal instincts that mulei lie lim principles of human justice. While thc Alli ance does not make war on any pro ? fession, it does claim thc *poftclnionf of ?quitable laws, both State and Nationnl, to tho end that all classes of people may enjoy that equal and oxnet justice guaranteed ill our State and Federal Constitutions; and pledges itself to usc nil honorable means within tlio power of an intel ligent o?ti?i?^sh?p to secure tho re? poul of all law? tending to favor tho iO,v at thc expense of the nvmy, It took no prophetic oyo to discern tho fact that tho AUinnco wpuld ho n power in tho land. It now numbers hundreds of thousands of members. Soven years ago tho AUinnco met to transact its busimss in n school house, and a half day WUK sntlioient to transact tho business. Now it holds its meeting in tho hugest cities and a week is necessary to transact tho business, holding sessions both day and night. Tho growth hus been almost phenomenal, nnd tho or der is destined to become n power in thc land. Niuo Years of Growth. The uiranttfitcturer's Record, pub lished at Baltimore, August 7, makes a plea for the manufacture of thc finer grades of cotton goods in tho South. It is in receipt of a largo number of letters urging thc importance of this and calling for government aid for steamship lines so as to be able lo place their goods in South Ameri can markets. The Jiecord also gives a table giving thc total number of cotton mills, spindles and looms in opera tion in the South on Jul) 31, 1880, ns compared with 1880, thus show ing the growth of cotton m an nf ac lu ros in 0 years, as follows : hi 1888 : States Mills Spindles booms Mnbninn, 21 181,001 2,1 M \rkansas, ? 13,800 224 florida, i 1,000 - 3oorgl?, il 465,008 10,240 Kentucky, 0 45,200 077 Louisiana, ? 00,280 1,684 Maryland, 25 1*75,0-10 8,680 Mississippi, lt M,:'.?:! 2,054 Vorth Carolina, ll 380,887 7.s.*il M.nth Carolina, li 417,780 10.?S7 rennessee. :!l 120,82-1 2,478 Texas, 8 50,808 400 virginia, 14 09,880 2,7.vi Total 355 2,035,208 45,100 This shows a progress in the South is wonderful as il is gratifying. Coutil Carolina, though the smallest ii area, leads thc procession'. She ms more looms than any oilier Male in tho South, lind runs nearly me fourth of all thc spindles in tho Southern Slates. Doses of Death. The recent experiments with tin I leged lilixir of Lifo,' discovered by lr. l?rown-Scqunrd, have created front consternation in several North rn cities, whore its doses have ?roved death-bearing instead ol' ifo-giving in their results. Blood .oisouing bas been almost iuvaria dy induced, and lli<^ victims have abeu into their system the germs if a living death. "Three score ears and ten" is therefore still the Hotted time of man's dwelling in his tabernacle of flesh. The returns from -the school oloo ions in Kansas last Monday show hat about 50,000 women voled, dany women were elected to ofllcc.

Huck, a prominent Re publican leader in that eily, were hung in efllgy in front ol* thc court house last Thursday in tho presence Of nt least ?"1,0011 persons. This ac tion was thc result of Lewis appoint ing a negro to a place in thc registry department of tho post ellice, where lie would come in contact with ll white lady clerk.

Ties, bagging or canvas, as it is called in Kugland. weighs only twenty pounds to tho bnlo, while tho customary taro is thirty pounds. Cotton bagging or onnvm* and tios will weigh only nbout fourteen pounds to tho bnlo. Mr. Hoxburg wnw urged tn con sider the cotton bngging on its merits, nud to rcduco taro to cor respond with tho weight of cotton bagging and tics. A reply was received Juno 24th to tho effect that tho association would consider tho matter and re port.

This brings on the light in earnest between tho cotton producers and the cotton consumers, and, if pro tracted to great length, must have very serious results on tho com merco of this country and Knghind.
