J. P. MICK LEU. October 23, 1800. 42-tf Bill Arp. "Lot not him boast who puttoth his armor on liko him who taketh it off," "Lot thoBO laugh who, win," "Ho laughs host who laughs last," and other maxims to that offeot. Wo havo had a little episode upbore in tho mountains, and tho way it has turned out it looks liko some of us laughed at tho wrong timo. But it is all ovor now, and wo oan all lough, oxoopt those sanguine individuals who staked their greenbaoks and lost. Thoy aro not yet calm and serene. It is right hard on a feller to lose his man and his money, too. If a man will bot on an oleotion, I havo always thought he ought to bot againBt his desires, and then if ho wins ho has got his monoy, and if he loses ho has got his man, and so comes down easy. Woll, it did look Uko tho old| doctor had everything in a swing around boro and all along the rail road for 180 miles. Just think of a Congressional Distriot 180 milos long, and a groat railroad splitting it in two, and sixteen towns along tho lino, and tho oity of Romo r?d bod besides, and almost everybody hoi loving for Felton. "Ho is bound to win," said his friends, "tho devil can't boat him," and BO they staked their pocketbooks until thoy wore empty, and thoy aro empty still. But theso farmers-"thoBO Alli ancomon"-they made no noise, they kioked up no dust, thoy waited until they could soo the whites of tho ene mies' oycB, and then thoy fired all along the line. The woods woro full of thom. Whore did thoy all como from ? It rt, minded mo of tho old times when J>rj Miller usod to run against Lunik u in this same Distriot. Thoy stumped it together, and had big barbeouos, and tho sovereigns oamo out by tho thousand and cat the meat and drank tho eloquence, for Dr. Miller had ns muoh reputa tion thou as Dr.v Felton has got now, and ho was called the Dcmosthcncso of, tho mountains. Lumkin was a big, bcofy, thick-tongued man and couldn't olocuto vory muoh, but ho was a Democrat, while Dr. Millor was a Whig. Ho made Lumkin siok on every stump-so siok that some times when ho had tho conclusion he wouldon't tako it, and tho boys all shouted for Millor, and totod him around liko tho old Virginians used to toto Patrick Henry. Good gra cious, what a rackot thoy made, but wbon election day carno tho wool hats oamo slipping out from their log cabins and hollow logs, and from under tho clay roots and other hiding places, and just everlastingly snowed tho doctor under. I hadn't forgot ton those memorable campaigns, and hence I didn't bank my faith in a sanguinary manner upon Dr. F elton's success. I kopt ono oar opon to hoar something drop, and it dropped. But wo can all laugh and rejoice now, for there ni'o bigger things than tho Seventh District. Tho nation is safe, and that is victory onough to satisfy anybody. Wo did think that we were just obliged to have Dr. Folton in Congress to fight tho imponding battlo, and lead tho forces and elec trify thc Domooraoy, and swing his Damascus bindo and put in his hnl loluia licks and flavo tho nation, but tho nows of our victories has como ovor us Uko tho sounds of many waters, and hopo has rovived and freedom has quit shrieking, and now maybo we can got along without tho doctor. Maybo we can. I expcot tho old man Eloquent has fought his last fight, and ho fought it nobly. Ho fought to flavo tho pUro Demo cracy, but maybo it is not to bo saved. I seo that Mr. Gorman, ono of tho $i??iance leadors, says that Domooraoy ib "ead and- Republican ism ?B dead and tho peoplo's party is going to run tho machino. Col. Folk Baid that long ago, and BO did Livingstone, but it was all smothered until after tho elections. It will como out now, and it ought to. Thoro aro as many Republicans in tho Alliance up North and Northwest ns thoro aro Democrats, and thoy arc obliged to havo a new name. Mr. Gorman is right, and if tho new party will do right that ?B ?ll WO want. But right now, when tho Domocracy has won theso signal vic-1 tories, wo think tho Southern Alli ance ought to fall into lino and lot tho good old dog wag his tail a littlo while longer. But I reckon wo will all stand asido and lot tho farmers havo their own way. Fighting them don't seem to do any good. It is like Col. Patterson, of North Alabama, who, at his first battlo with the Yankees, was ordored to tako hi regiment and charge ? battery that was away ovor on a hill and was throwing an oooasional shell down in tho valley. "Boys," said ho, "you must shoot a ohargin', and ohargo a shootin', and we'll get 'om." And thoy did, but when they got within about a quartor of a milo tho battery suddenly turned l?oso a terrific volloy of grape and cannister upon thom, whioh demoralized tho Colonel and ho waived his sword and shouted : "Boys, quit shootin' ot 'om-quit stootin', I say, for it just makes 'om madder." Wo will jUwt quit shooting at tho farmers, and if thoy oan got the sub Treasury and r.un it, lot thom do it. If they oan't, then lot thom got something bottor. Lot us all wait and soo. If tho good old Domooratic party has got to die, lot thora kill it. Our Georgia formers oro not in any desperate condition and will do noth ing rash or unreasonable. They aro bottor off than they wove a yoar ago. Tho tax returns and the oan coled mortgages prove that. The farmers of Bartow wore nover in so prosperous a condition. Just con trast thom with tho farmers of Kan sas, whore, out of 76,000 farms, 69,000 aro under mortgag?. Just think of that. And 26,000 of theso mortgages have boen foreclosed and tho formers who once owned thom aro tenants at will, liable to be turned out at any day. What ia the matter thoro ? If tho laws aro oppressive, why don't tho samo laws bring ruin hore, too? Thoro is not but ono farm in twenty-four that has a mort gage upon it now in Bartow county. What is tho cause of this great and alarming difference between the farming interests of tho North and South ? Why is it that Maine and Now Hampshire and Vormont have boon partially abandoned by the far mers ? Why is it that so many of the farms in Now York and Illinois and Kansas and Missouri aro under mortgage? I wish that wo did know. If it is tho laws, please let us know what laws. And this reminds mo of what 1 havo just road in tho Andover Jievieu for Novombor. It is tho organ ol tho Now England orthodoxy. It ii now lamenting tho dcoay of roligioiu interest among tho forming popula tion of tho North. Dr. Dunning says that thoro aro ninety-fivo towra in Maine whoro no roligious service* aro hold, and there aro moro countrj villages in Illinois without tho Gos pol than in any other Stato in th< Union. Just think of ;hat I Th< groat Stato of Illinois that has tw< counties that make more grain thai all Georgia. This great State tba stands fifth in the scale of education and fortieth in tho grado of Chris tian religion. What do you soy t< this, you advocates for education Education regardless of moral train ing. Dr. Dunning says that tin Presbyterians havo 1,200 ohurchc without pastors and tho Baptisti havo over 10,000 ! Nearly all o these vacant churches ore in th country towns, whore farming is th principal occupation of tho people Thoy once had pastors or roligiou services, but not now. Tho numbo of educated men in tho Northen pulpits is stoadily decreasing am tho young men who are graduatinj in tho theological seminaries ar ?coking other callings because thor are no inviting fiolds for thom t work in. Tho city churches are ful and tho country churches will nc pay enough to keep body and soi togothor. Tho fact is that farmers whos homos aro undor mortgage don't tak much stook in preachers or prenol ing. Nothing bows a man down lik debt-a debt that he knows ho cai not pay. The boat index of tl prospority and tho morality of cev .unity is tho standing of thc prcachors. If thc people arc doh well they havo got proachors, ai thoy pay thom, and they fix up thc churches and tako a pride in thci Poor people, poor pay; poor pn poor preaoh, and boneo tho youl mon who want to preach aro discon aged. But, thank thc good Lord for 1 mercies, this is not tho case at t South. Our small towns arc gel rally supplied. You oan hardly fii ono that does not have preaoh ing some church overy Sabbath, a Sunday Schools almost universal. 4 to Pino Log or Euharlcc, or old Cn I ville, in our county, if you want ! seo Sunday Schools. Theso aro country sottlomonts, and some o of thom always takes thc banner our union celebration. On 1 whole, it doos look liko our poo] aro prospering and our sunny Sot is looming up. So moto it bo. Bi ix Am* High. Hopo (or >uS. [From tho Now York Ilorald.] ? WASHINGTON, Novombor 10.-Tho spectre of tho Farmors' AUiauoo overshadows all other political con siderations here. Clover politicians estimate tho voto polled by that organization in tho recent election at not lesa than 2,600,000. Tho Alli ance pooplo thomselvos aro saying I nothing that can bo construed as an indication of their future purposes. The expectation ?B that their party will iiioreaso so rapidly during tho j next two yoars that thoir voting strength in 1892 will not fall much, if any, short of 6,000,000. In that ovont they will undoubtedly placo a j Presidential tiokot in tho field, with a moral cortainty of carrying half a dozon Southern and Western States. Already thoy aro claiming all tho agricultural States in '02. This is, of course, an exaggerated and ovor sanguino view of tho situa tion, growing out of thoir rooontl success, but they have a reasonable probability of carrying North Caro lina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota. ? am told by their leaders hero that not only will thoy continuo to dovelop strength in tho States where thoy havo already shown unexpected power, but that Ohio, Pennsylvania, Now York, Now Jersoy and Massa chusetts offer thom an equally pro mising field. Tho work of orgauiz ing will go on rapidly in these States from this time, with tho possibility of bringing ono or moro of them also under thoir dominion. WIM. FU SK "WITH NO OTU KU 1?AKTY It is obvious to any student of politioal affairs that the Alliance people aro "fooling thoir oats," as thoy figuratively put it. Thoy organ izod originally for mutual b .ifit, but thoy havo drifted into politics almost imperceptibly from tho Btart, and their manifest purpose now is to ?oouro control of tho country, or at least develop such stronght ns will onablo thom to hold tho balanco of power between tho two groat partios It is not thoir intention to consol! dato with oithor. Thoir loading mon toll mo they will welcome any mnn or sot of mon who may choose to onter thoir ranks, but thoy can only bo admitted by renouncing forovor their former political affiliations. It is only as a diBtinot organization with distinct aims and purposes that thoy can hopo to win, and from this course they will not swerve a hairs breadth. The Alliance people aro claiming fifty-five votes in tho noxt House Of this number forty aro Btraightout Alliance Representatives and fifteen others have committed themselves in writing to tho moasuros advocated by thom. Tho moro important of these moasuros aro tho f roo silver coin ago and sub-Treasury bills. They will not'stop, thoy say, until thoy accom plisb tho passage of both. Judging from thoir conversation thoy oxpcot to do this beforo tho close of tho 62d Congress. Ol'POSKl) TO SUCTIONAM8M. Thoro is one tenet of their politi cal faith which fair minded men without rogard to other considera tioiiB, will cheerfully endorso. They aro opposed to sectionalism and to tho statesmen who support suoh doc trinca. They tell mo seriously that their principal opposition to Senator Ingalls arises from his malevolent and ropoatcd offorts to widen tho breach between thc North and tho South. His other sins they could forgivo, but this thoy rogard as unpardonable. I asked thom what, ii that case, they proposed doing with Senators Hoar and Chandler. They replied that a? noon as the organization became stronger in MnatinnliiianHg or\A "Wow ITo?r?T?ohb,/> thcBO gontlemen should bo immedi ately turned down, unless thoir "brigadier Boalping" tactics, ns thoy torm thom, are abandoned. Tho General Council of the Alli ance will hold its annual meeting at Ocala, Fla., Dccombor 2 next. About two hundred and fifty delegates and fifteen hundred other leading mem bers of the Alliance will bo in attend ance. Tho Conference will bo an important one, and beforo its close tho aims and purposot. of tho Alli ance for tho futuro will no doubt bo better understood. Tho youngest man in tho noxt Congress will not como from Massa chusetts, us is commonly bu?ic?, but from tho 5th Texas District, whoro a young fellow named Bailoy, just turning tho constitutional ago of 25, has boon elected in placo of Congress man Hare, Tho Prosperous South. Tho , Mam{factureray lleconl of Novombor 16 hos tho following : Tho excitement in Wall Streot, if long continued, would necessarily hr>ye an injurious influence upon all linos of business in all sections of tho couutry, but as trade and manu facturing interests ovorywhoro aro prosperous, it is not . .?rnbablo that the stook jobbing operations of Now V?fk Will havo wore than a tempo rary offeot upon general businoss. Under any oironnistaneos, though, thc Soutb is in bottor position to stand oven a panio than any other section, It has gathered big crops that will aggregato in valuo for tho year nearly $1,000,000,000, its cotton alono, including tho seed, counting up this yoar between $450,000,000 and $500,000,000, every dollar of which it will draw from tho North and Europe Its farmers aro practically out of dobt, and many of thom havo a good surplus; its manufacturing in terests aro prosperous, ?nd its rail roads aro orowded with freight traf fic. Tho whole South is advancing rapidly, and if dependent upon its own financial resources could stand tho strain far bottor than tho Wost. But tho enormous shrinkage in.stook values in Wall Streot will tend to drive monoy from that contor of wild speculation to safor investments in Southern development and manu facturing interests. Tho decline in 28 stocks on tho Now York Ex ohango Bineo November 1 represents a wiping out of $100,000,000^ and tho pooplo who have seen fortunes swept away Uko this will profor to put their money elsowhoro in tho fu ture Tho daily accumulation of wealth in tho United States is enor mous, and it must find a fiold of in vestment somewhere. Driven from Wall Streot speculations, and nc longor finding any profitable open ings in tho West as in former years, it must inevitably turn to tho South Thus, instead of Wall Street's flurrj injuring tho South, it will help. t< drive a still largor volume of mono) this way. Tho past week showf continued activity in tho organiza lion of industrial enterprises and ol town-building companies. Salom Va., loads off with aa appropriation by tho several land companies thor< of $500,000 in cash to secura thc establishment thoro of a rolling mill cotton mill, car works and othor on? terprises; in Buena Vista a $1,000, 000 company has been organized t< build basio steel works, and thre< improvement and building oompanie with an aggregate capital of $800, 000 havo been started in tho sam? placo; Glasgow has organized i $100,000 car works company; Nor folk, three land improvement comps nies with a capital ot $700,000 Wheeling, W. Va., is to havo nov stool works; at Vicksburg, Miss., $600,000 phosphate company ha boon chartered, and at Abordeon, ii tho samo State, a $50,000 mach?n Bliop company; at Algiora, La., $75,000 brewery will bo built; Bosse mor, Ala., has organized a $100,00 pipe manufacturing company; Bait: moro a $200,000 oar company; Bar tow, Fla., a $60,000 raanufaoturin company; Blacksburg, S. C., a $40 000 stove foundry; Rusk, Texas, $500,000 company to build an iro furnace, and Rodgors, Ark., a $40 000 ico faotory. Theso ontorprisci scattered all ovor tho Soutb, sho how widespread is the aotivity tin is soon from Maryland to Toxa Without any fictitious spcoulatic or wild booming tho South is s toad i pressing forward,building now town new railroads, new factories and fu naces, and ovorywhoro shows o\ donco of aotivity and prosperity.
