To the Georgia Alliance : I have invitations to ..address tho people from tho counties that Ho botwcon Haborsham arid tho soabourd, and it is pliysioally impossible for mo to re spond, ftnd tho elcotiOn is but four ii ays off, I havo oonoludod, in lion of speaking at two or thrco plaoos-all that I could do-to eay to you through tho press a part of what I would say wero I to speak. Though I address you by name, I am speaking to all tho people of Georgia. I am not separating you and your interest from the interests of thoso not members of tho Alliance. In tho great warfare you arc in, you hold the same relation to tho wholo people aa did our soldiers in tho lato wnj, to tho old and young, tho women and ohildron who wore at homo. You aro in a war. You havo declared war against the enemies of tho wholo peoplo. You roprcBont the righta of all. You contend for just ice toidi. It i? sufficient for me to know, you were patriots in 'Ol, and iro tho saino to-day. It is enough lor me to know you aro tho same Democrats who havo prosouvod tho Uno principles of Jofforsonian De mocracy over since we furlod our Ung. I Bay, that a knowlodgo of theso faots Should striko dumb the nan who assails your organization ns u'ldciuocratio, as unrepublioan, ns lark lantern and midnight plottors, is agents in disguise Of the black Republican party. If deliverance is not given to tho nooplo by you, I seo no othor hope. irou aro thc reservo forces-r-tho last t)OSBiblo lovios-for you aro tho groat jody of thc peoplo. TUK FARMKU IN POLITICS. It ia oOjeotcd that you should not 3iitor politics, T,hat is to say your monty is in politics-is nowhere olso -and you must fight, but must not nitor his territory. To make this as ?lcar as light, lot mo say tho monoy power is your enomy; these methods ire put into operation almost oxclu dvoly by Federal legislation; Federal legislation is dono by Ogress; Con gress is controlled by "ho monoy power; the peoplo oleot Congress; .elections arc tho only means on earth, diort of revolution by arms, by which relief can como; you aro or ganized to give that roliof. But, say pour opponents, "you should not ?avo anything to do with politics; /ow aro making a big mistake to neddlo in politics; if you do, you ire bound to go to pieces." When you hear a man say that you iced not hesitate to decide that ho jannot reason logically, or that you iro in bis way in politics, or that bo mi?nos to tho enemy. Y^ur m ssion is essentially politi sai. It is to right our overturned fhoViii-os; it is, in short, "to establish justico, to insure domestic tranquility, promote tho general welfare and sc 3uro the blessings of liberty to our selves and our posterity." Thoso suds for which our Federal govern ment was founded and which it, tin ier control of thc monoy powor for thirty years, has almost destroyed. "NO GOOD IN NAZARKTII." Seeing, as your organization did, ?.hat tho fountain of our woes is in mr financial systom, tho Alliance set io work to pr?vido a remedy. You ?avo not maintained that it is per :cot, much less a panacea. As soon is it was born, it was set upon by ;ho press and politicians. Its pator lity was enough for thom to know. 'Farmers 1 what do they know of innnoics?" "What is ho to Hecuba, or Hecuba to him?" "No good can come out of Naza reth " It r?ns kicked from Dan to Beersheba. It was prcsontcd to Con gress. It could not find a godfather. 'Tnko it away ! It ia unconstitu-1 .ional; it is undemocratic; it is pa ternalism; it is class legislation; it ?viii break up existing political par ties I" And the majority, who, witt tho minority buried your illcgitinuuo in \ committco room, turned again iu inisincsc, which was "to porfect" tho tariff bill, to force ono class (your-, selves, millions in number;) to roform tho worst form of paternalism ever ilovisod by man to rob his brother; CO ro-onact probably thc most uncon stitutional stntuto that was cvor passed by Congress. Your numorionl strength was noi then known. It waa soon found out, md the noxtmovemont mnde against pott was to divido your forces. To ~. .; ? - '; *'. : . ?j ^ ^-r offect that result four mothods were adopted. One was to keep up thc assault on tho sub/Vrcobnry plan; the second was to attack tho characters and good names of tho oflicors you had chosen to load you in your great struggle; tho third was to decry and abuse you as disor?anigors, and tho fourth wag to orgarii/o and put out independent candidates to bea-., the regular nominoes j who ropresont thoviews of tho Alliance. THE WAY OK GREAT REFORMS. All leadem in groat reforms have gono through "groat tribulations," and you aro not and will n*H bo an exception. Old ruts worn d op aro hard to got out of. Customs aro strengthened by ago. Tyrants grew bold and defiant by long reigns. Tho men who livo by office abhor* a ohango lest they bo exchanged. Those who laok faith in a successful result are timid; they halt betweon two opinions, and at tho first sign of division or weakness, join your ono mics. Some flatter with "muoh fair spoouh," persuado you of their ear nest support, and, in tho hour of Liiii?, desert you. , Your greatest danger is in internal dissension and division. If you stand together, your national strong th is groat enough to restore and main tain justico to all. At first, I thought your requirement for membership too restricted. On reflection, I con sider it wise. You aro not politi cians. You aro not office seokors. Your rule is, thoroforo, wisc, booauso it excludes from your bodies those who might and woidd join to got control for personal promotion or to oreato dissension in tho interest of your enemy. Consisting, ns your or der does, of farmers, of ono distinct producing olas?; being tho principal tax-payers and burden^boarors, tboro is no temptation to any of your mem bers to provo traitor or dcBort to tho enemy. And tho very limited se crecy in your movements is' but a proper safeguard against spies or enemies who would avail themselves of their knotvlcdgo of your pro ceedings wore thoy conducted on the house-top to sow dissension among you. You havo been denounced for op posing some mon who havo boon and aro candidates for oflieo. This, too, is an unjust complaint. You arc not seeking offices. Thoy aro yours to bestow. I say yours, because thc farmors arc largely tho majority, probably five to ono in Georgia, You aro askod for office You have opinion:?; you have a plan which you believe will not only benefit thc ma jority, yourselves, but tho minority also, as much. And whon the office seeker says ht cannot and will not agreo with you nor attempt to servo you ns you wish he lins no more right to complain at your refusal than ho would wore lu to ask you to give him your walkin*: stick for him to club you with it. O all the arrogance, presumption, as sured superiority, impudonce, solf con?oit imaginable, that man is pos sossed of these, who, whilo in opci opposition to you, doniands of you i position to support hi.n in order tba ho may fight you. "MEASURES; rJyOT MEN.'' Political questions aro alway fruitful of differences of opinion Your sub-Treasury plan is a good il lustration; and thoso who oppose i should not expoct those who favor i i?.suncnder their opinions ns-litt] children yield to thc judgment c parents. You arc, not ohildroi Yoii have acquired knowledge b ago and thought and bitter expor onco through long and pation sufforing. Aftor thirty years c pationt following, you havo detei mined ' to bo lod no hinger, but t lend. When thoso whom you hav followed without questioning, sprin boforo you to tako command of yon column, it is time for you to doman of thom, who and what they an whether they are for you or agaim you; not what thoy havo boon, bli what they aro now. Ho who asl for your leadership should bo tl: whole-hearted champion of yoi cnuso and ?'.Gt refuse to fight undi your bnnnor. Your motto is "Measures; men." Men aro of no avail. Yo oan find mon without looking. Yo want, men who cnn say "shibboleth and not"sibbolotb." You want loat < era who are not frosh from tho cami fires of your enomies. You wai linen who have been true and faithf fa evory position in which you hiv piaced them, and who havo nover o sorted y o ti. You* want men wi have no concealment of any of thc aots c\ nhcolod with a publio true lt is your duty to inquire, and yoi right to know, what'your . public servants do anil why they do it. Tlio trust is yours. You aro tho sover eign, and they aro your agents. Tho oreaturo should not bo permitted to dofy tho creator; nor tho sorvant his master. THE WORK OP THE ENEMY. Tho most insidious attaok of an enemy b to d-porgauizo tho rank and file; tho i oat demoralising is to kill tho officors in command. You aro attaokod in both whys. Your chosen leaders havo boon traduced, vilified and slandered. The man who ... saults tho reputation of tho pastor injures his congregation. Tho man who slanders tho father injures his family. Tho man who vilifies tho lenders in a great movement easts obloquy on thoir followers. Could Luther's oharaotcr havo boon de stroyed tho reformation would have boon rotardod-T-if not preventod. Could Washington havo boon tainted with oharges of- troason, tho Revolu tion would havox, failed. I am illus trating by example, I am not draw ing comparisons. Bowaro of tho friond who professos . friendship amV assails your loaders in ono breath. Bowaro of him who flattors tho family while ho strikos to earth its head. Thc insidious is moro dangerous than tho open attack.' It is to di vido you, your ranks. If you diffor nmong yoursolvos ns to tho best plan ior assaulting your enemy, lot no one outside your organization roap any advantago by it. Tho minority ?nay not appvovo of ali dota?B of your plan, but h t is no reason for dividing and surrendering to any ono who opposes it. Your success depends upon an unbrokon front. You may depend on this, that you must look for fidelity to your onuso within more than without your or ganization. . Discuss and diffor as you may, but proservo unity of ac tion. RETTER THAN ANY SUIISTITUTB OPFERE 11. Your 8ub-Trensury plan is bottor ?han any that has been suggested ns a substitute. It is gaining ground. Tho moro it is discussod, tho stronger it grows. It stands far in advance of tho banking, of tho whiskey wnrohousc system and tho tariff. Tho tariff of thirty years is crud, systomized robbory for tho enriching of a fow thousand, and yet ample authority is found for it in tho con stitution by those in control of thc government. Tho whiskey warehouses bonofit a few hundred, and they too. find shel ter under tho constitution. Tlio banking Kystom was devised to enrich, and does enrich a few hun dred thousand, at tho cost of 00, OOOjOOU, and its constitutionality is assumed and generally conceded. Thc government bcoamo endorser for tho Pacific Railroad for #100, 000,000, and that is adjudged consti tutional. Until within a year past no lawyer ever doubted tho power of a Stato to regulate its own police and protect its citizens against acts adjudged by tho Stato to bo injurious to their morals, but the Supremo Court in thc original package cases, has dispolled that flattering delusion. Who, then, shall say beyond ques tion that a statute that should pr? vido for further extension of thc financial system; for expansion that would relieve congestion, and thc congestion would prevent expansion; for expansion when needed, and con traction when expansion would bc hurtful; for tho "protection" of mil lions from the rapacity of a few;, foi a stable currency; for tho preventior of speculation in tho necessaries ol lifo; for an increase per capita, oi tho circulating medium, would bc un constitutional ? In tho light of Con grOfjsional bounties, to build inonu monta, hold fairs, endorso as suroty foi persons, lend monoy without intorcst enlarge and dcopen inland creeks, t< make a paper logal teodor, to ta: State banks out of oxistence to mak< room for a favored few, to pay $<12{ for a bond of only $100, to conduoi tho fish business, to support sufforori by fires and floods, to establish an< support a weather bureau, to savi Wall Street gamblors from bank ruptoy, to scare 11 for the North Bole and to do ma ly other liko deed? wdio shall sot himself tip ns tho judi cial authority to docjdo ox cathedr tho unquestionable unconstitution allty of our sub-Troasury plan ? THE QUESTION OP CONSTITUTION ALITY. It is a lamontablo truth that ii questions that can bo brought h; construction under the powors c Congress relating to finance and rove nuo, to tho regulation of counnoroe, to rights 6f and ?> "tho gcnoval wel fare," it ia hazardous to tho roputo tion of tlie boat legal mind to give an opinion on tho constitutionality of anyt stated position. Thoroforo, it is on idle task-a wasts of time-to be dismissing whether certain details of your measure aro not constitutional. Stand by your plan for relief; pross it ou tho attontion of Congress; demand its consideration, and let de hnte determine not only tho consti tutionality, but the practicability of your moai uro as ono of relief. Take no farmer's opinion ns your guido; bo not disheartened by any one law yer's opinion. Insist on notion "in thc multitude of counsel." Relief in some form will como. Division of opinion on this mensuro may bo your dofoat. You aro comforting tho oncmy by this division and halt ing. Already some of tho Northern press have prediotcd your downfall at tho hands of ono man. It may bo that "ono man put ton thousand to flight," but it is not roc?rdod in his tory or fiotion that ono hundred tiiuutmiid of as brovo, determined, well-organisiod mon as you are, over surrondorod to ono or ten thousand. T. M. NOKWOOD. How McKinley's Bill Killed Hill Mc Ktnloy. WASHI??OTON, Novembor 8.-Dr. R. H. Graham, who..has returnod from McKinley's district, -recounts somo interesting featuros of tho cam paign. Tho Domoorats sent out a number of young mon, with wagon loads of tinware, to poddlc from farmhouse to farmhouse, and exaotly twico tho valuo of buckets, pans and kottlos was charged. The honso wives lifted their hands in holy hor ror, and wanta i to know why a 26 cont, bucket had doubled its price "Tho McKinley bill did it," was tho cry in overy case, and it is of course not necessary to say what tho womon thought of both Maj.'McKinley and his bill. They naturally told their husbands. On tho other hand, tho Republicans had printed contracts for thc purchase of all tho sheep in tho district, the purchase being made conditional upon the election of Mc Kinley. Tho prico offered for tho sheep was $2 or $3 in oxcoss of thoir real valuo, but this movo was mado too lato, and after tho tin peddlers had protty well covered tho distriot and made thc first impression. On te Atlanta. Work on the Seaboard Air Linc's road to Atlanta is progressing rap idly, and tho next few months will BOC this portion of its road oponod to through trudie, thus adding nnothor important competitor for tho business lending to and out of that city. Trains arc already running ns far us Greenwood, and, ns fast os now mile age is added, new schedules go into effect. Tho Seaboard Air Lino, which comprises ten roads, with milcogo of 928 milos, starts from Portsmouth, opposite Old Point Com fort, whore it connects with tho Ray Lino from Baltimore, and other steam ship lines from Now York, Boston, Philadelphia and other points. From Portsmouth tho road Southwest to Hamlet, N. C., whore tho Carolina Control road, from Wilmington to Rutherford ton, is connected with.

Relative to tho valuo of cotton seed oil foi various purposes, the fol lowing tcstimomy'givon by a loading Northern physioian andanalyst, and substantiated by othors, ?H intorost ing: The 'compounds of lard, st?arine and cotton sond oil as a food, in ;ny belief, is a product that contains a greater variety of olemonts nccossary to tho maintonanoe of human ooonomy in a healthy state than either lard, hoof fat, or cotton seed oil alono, neither boing in themselves a porfcot food product. Of tho valuo of lard ?B( as a food 1 need'not s'poak, nor of tho valuo of hoof fat for tho samo j purposo, but of cotton sood oil loan " say that by itself it is a valuable food ] produot. < I havo used tho samo in my pro? j fessioh ns a substituto for ood-liVer oil, whore tho latter was not woll retained by tho stomach of my patient with satisfaction to mysolf and apparont advantage to tho. patient. , I havo used it as a substi tuto for fresh cream in still other oases, where tho oroam did not soCm ,, to bo well digested, witt? almost invariably good results, and I havo fed tho samo to ..> infants suffering from wasting diseases in doses of from ^no-half to ono teaspoonful from four to B?X times oaoh day, and have found tho sanio to check tho emaciating process quite as well gonorally as any othor food to which I could resort. I prefer puro ootton scod oil for professional purposes to olivo oil, ^ though olive oil is now believed to to bo largely extended by an admix ture of cotton sood oil; As an artiolo for many culinary uses I prefer puro cotton seed oil to oithor lard or medium grade butter, having used tho samo (cotton seed oil) in my own family as a butter substituto in cooking moats and fish, as woll as making gravies, oto. I am also acquainted with its uso for simi lar purposes in the families of others of my acquaintance, and in no instanco has my nttontion boon callod to any objectionable results from said uso. ? Of tho exports- callod in to testify as to tho merits and demerits of cot ton socd oil as compared with lard, nine-tontlis of thom boro testimony to the superiority of tho Southern product. This is now no .longer^ ??i questioned; and tho Conger '?AW is V not bnsod on thc thoory that, cotton seed oil is unhealthy, but wholly on the economio theory. That it displacos so many pounds of laid, reduces tho valuo of hog fat and thereby injures tho Western farmer. Tho bill is an attempt to protect tho Western farmer against the competition of a cheaper pro duct. Will it do so? Cotton seed oil is rapidly coming into a favor undor r.n alian. Ti? uno would havo boon slower but moro certain if it had appealed to tho pub lic on its own merits instead of as olive oil or lari; and it .will ulti mately triumph on its merits, lt offers usu vaiuabio oil, at four to five couts a pound, suitable for culi nary or other purposes. No other oil of this kind can bo ma<V* OB oheaply. Thcro is nolaok of s't.pply. If tho world noods it, wo cnn easily turn out 140,000,000 gallons a yoar. Moro than tho olivo oil and all the othor table oil in use, onough to sup ply tho world with a snbfiltuto for alf tho lard used by it. < . ? * Everybody understands that tho olivo oil they use is simply cotton scod oil; that tho lard is mainly cot ton socd oil. They have simply to take another stop forward, disoard tho hypocrisy that because it bas a different label on it, it tastes differ ently. Tho pooplo of Italy have set , us a good oxample, using a great doal ot cotton seed oil last year as such and finding it plonsant. In England, tho oil is largely used for kitchen purposes under its truo name, and to some oxtont in this country. If tho manufacturers would go into tho proselyting business and domon strato to tho epicuros by praotioal tests that aCotton seed oil is better than lard and equal to olivo oil?, they could got rid of all alinsos for their produot and sell it o? its merits. It will probably tako some yearn, how ovor, to ovoroomo tho prcjudico of ft name, but when it is overcome tho cotton scod industry has a brilliant future boforo it, to which Us pfwt success will appoar as nothing. Tt must ultimately win, and become tho groat onlinary oil of the world. It Will then sufllco to supply tho entire civilized world, to food some 8,000, 000 to 6,000,000 cattle, to fertilise and enrich our InndB, to add sorao $80,000,000 to tho value of tho cot-., ton crop to tho farmer, and some $76,000,000 to $90,000,000 annually to tho wealth of tho South. One poor business year has scarcely been a set-back toan industry Uko this l^vith so brilliant a future boforo it.
