J. P. MIOK?.KK. October 23, 1890. 42-tf The State Al i I nuco Hank. The following address is ono of groat intovcst to tho Allianoo of this State : To the Members of the Farmers' Alliance of /South Carolina: DKAK I?RKTiittKN: Tho trustee stockholders of the State Kxchnngo of tho Farmers' Alliance have deoi dou to ?ocato the St ?to Esch s ??go in the oity of Columbia and in connec tion therewith to establish a 'Farmer*' Alliance bank. .j After oarefur consideration and thorough investigation of the plan under "which the Stato Exchange was organized it has been decided that there is nothing in said plan antagonistic to investing the oapital Htook in a bank to bo controlled arid used in connection therewith. Arrangements have boon made to apply for o charter for tho bank, and to open book? of subscription to its capital stock. It is tho intention to make it what its name imports, the Farmers' Allianoo Bank, to bo owned and controlled by the members of the Farmers' Alliance, with the understanding that tho Exohango is to have a controlling interest. All individual members of tho Alliance, tho State Alliance and County Alli ances, in possession of surplus funds, aro asked, and even urged, to sub scribe to its oapital stock. At a meeting of tho trustee stock holders, held in tho oity of Colum bia, on tho 9th and 11th instant, tho undersigned were appointed a com* mittee to issue an address to tho Alliance membership, oalling atten tion to the facts stated and to urge upon them the prompt payment cf tho balance of stock duo tho . State Exchange. The State Exchange was organ ized under most discouraging circum stances. Only ono-fourth of the subscribed atonic was called for, and this could bc used only ns a basis of commercial rating. Tho Board of Direotors were instructed to begin business and thus enter the commer cial field in which there is so muoh ability, experience v;.nd sharp compe tition, and this without a dollar save a small amount as interest on that part of stock paid in. Everything was new and untried. Opposition met them at every turn. Wholesale dealers and manufactu rers regarded tho movement in its proper light os an experiment and acted towards it accordingly. Tho days wore dark, as woll as tho nights, and ofttimes it seemed as though tho enterprise would have to bo aban doned. Expenses and debts accumu lated day altor day and it. seemed almost impossible at one time that wo should over bo able to meet our obligations. We thought seriously of asking the State Alliance to help us over our financial difficulties. But during all these dark days them was ono thought that inspired us, it was the faith wo hold in tho loyalty of tho Alliance membership, I whioh was as a sheet anchor to our hearts. This gavo hope'and promises of a brightor future. That future carno and with it came light and ioy. All is now bright boforo us. Tho hardest battles have been fought, tho darkest days have past away and j that same loyalty to this good cause on tho part of tho membership of tho Alliance will, wo believe, make tho Exchango what it is intended to bo, a means of saving to ovory Alli anceman some of the profits on arti cles produced and sold by him, of cheapening articles purchased by bim, and of reduoing tho rato ii interest on money borrowed by him. Let oaoh mombor of tho Allianoo in paying his dues to tho Exohango take into tho account bis probable and pos sible benefits to accrue to him in this business, and see if it does not pro mise to bo tho best investment mado by him. Much credit is duo tho Stato manager for tho success attained by tho Exchange. In faot, ho bas dono the hardest work and has como in direct contrast with thc many difficulties and great opposi tion to tho enterprise. Leaving his own business, ana with a salary con tingent on the success of the work, he Ts deserving of the confidence and esteem of ovory Allinncoman in tho Stato. Tho businoss is growing, and our managor, with those of other States, aro now arranging to aot togothor or in concert with each other whonovor this can be dono advantageously to tho Alliance mem bership. . What a power and influenco is this for tho clovation, training and financial success of tho farmers of our country. Lot us seo to it that our State Exchango shall not bo behind others. With tho 76 per cont of unpaid stock to the Exohango, and with a subscription from othor Sub-Alliances which havo not ns yet subscribed, tho Stnto Exchange onn put into tho bank fifty-five or sixty thousand dollars, and tho oapital stook of said bank from individual Allianoo subscriptions, with what County Alliances and tho State Alli ance may do, can easily bo run to ono hundred thousand dollars. Now stop to think what a vast banking business can bo run on suoh a oapital, and what a powor this will bo in promoting, dtroctty and indirectly, tho interesis of tho farmors of tlio Stato. Tho Stato Exohango must havo salaried o?uceis and employees to do its work. Every bank must havo tho same; throw thos? two institu tions togothor and placo them to a largo measuro undor tho samo mnn agemont, and soo how economically ?lui with what groat Having of monoy tho work oap bo dono. ?!

Tho trustee stookV?ldors of tho Exchange will moot |h, Columbia on tho 28th bf noxt JatyUry to perfect arrangoniOnts for r&t^b.?Rhing tho Farmers* Alliance BMk, and it is of vital importnnco that, ?very cont of subscribed stock slij|[ri bo paid in on or before that t*u?)e. Brethren, tho successful operation of th? State Exchange of tho FsTmors* Alliance of South Carolina defends in a groat measure upon the prompt payment of this stook. Can, Wt) not hope that this will bo dono, anatbat other Sub Alliances who havo d?ne nothing in this direction will"?jm hko manner send in their subscribions ? The State Kxohntw?, desiring to bo just to Sjib-Alli?es in its oon ncotion, itt its meeting in Columbia i unanimously adopted tho following resolution : Resolved, That? S uh-Alliances which have subscribed two o? moro, shares of stock to tho State Exchange and have paid a part of tho same, and havo since making suoh payment boon roduoed in membership bolow the constitutional number upon which said subscription was based, that ail Sub-AUi?noo shall havo tho benefit of suoh reduction in'memborsbip and receive credit fronj tho Stato Ex ohango on their stook for any amount thu? overpaid. At tho mooting to bo held on the '28th of January, 1891, not only will tho banking business be disouesed, but this will bo discussed in connec tion with the future management of tho State Exchange, and it is highly probablo that many changos will bo mado in the rules which nave here tofore governed tho management of tho Exchanged The wholo business will be discussed, and an effort will bo made to roaoh tho wisest 'conclu sions. Let every member of tho Alliance regard tho subject as ono in which ho is most deeply interested and send in suoh suggestions to tho meeting ns will, in his opinion, most likely load to the best results. But, over and beyond ovory othor consideration, let ovory true and loyal member of tho Allianoo put forth bis best efforts in i;ceing that tho money due tho State Exohango from tho Sub-Alliances bo promptly paid and reported on or before tho 28th of January, 1891. With this money in hand there is a bright future for tho Alliance of South Carolina. If it is not paid, no promises can bc made. Respectfully yours, J. A. SLIOH, } D.T.DUNCAN, ^ Committee. W. II. TlMMKRM AN, ) Reform or Ruin. The Atlanta Constitution) in a vigorous artielo going to show how the sceptre has doparted from the people, says : "Piok out 100 men at random farmors, merohants, meobanics, men of all e!ii?soft outside of the bond holders, brokors and bankers, and they will admit that thoy havo no aotive inf!uenoo in our Federal coun cils. Ask them these two questions : "1. Is tho present financial system tho right ono for the govern mont to maintain? "2. Is there monoy enough to move tho crops and meet tho wants of this rapidly developing country ? "These questions will bo unani mously and emphatically answered in tho negativo by all classos oxcopt tho favored and protcoted fow. Tho groat mass of farmers, toilers and business nioii fool that thoy are to all intents'and purposes moro serfs, at the moroy of a Russianized govern ment in tho. most important affairs of their every-day lifo. "A government established and shaped by a Doniocrntio peoplo can not bo transformed into a despotic machine for the bonefit of a privi leged fow without disastrous results. Already the evils of imperialism masquerading in a Republican olonk press upon us. Tho representativos of tho peoplo sit year aftor year in Urn counoil chambers of the nation, but how fow of them speak for tho i peoplo and carry out the will of tho people? The majority of them in Bomo mysterious way aro mado to yiold to tho infiuonoef of Wall strcot, and whether they know it or not thoy speak with tho voice of Wall I stroet, and oarry out the schemes of Wall street. "It is reform or ruin ! Wo have como to that point nt la*?t. With free speech and tho ballot, roforu. ls si ill possible, and a determined pur pose and united effort will yet onablo tho peoplo to restore tho government to thoir fathors. It is a fight botweon tho Domooraoy and imperialism, and thoro can bo no compromise. Wo must got back tho old landmarks, or tho people will find thoir would-bo mn.st.eis legislating them into poverty and holding thom down by main forco." This is tho truth from beginning to end, and it ia an intuitivo sonso of 'hoing- robbed of thoir tights bv manipulating politicians which is at tho bottom of tho tidal wnvo that bas just passed ovor tho country. Tho people aro determined upon taking baek their own into thoir own kooping. This scntimont is at tho bottom of tho groat Alliance movoment. Tho body of the peoplo aro behind it boenoso thoy feel and bolieve tht> the Alliance and sympathizing labor organisations oro "of the people, for tho peoplo and by the peopled lil such a popular uprising good men may at times bo saorificed and bad mon put forward; good measures may be ovorborno and evil or .futile ones advocated. This is trite to-dey ns it has always boen truo in oyeiy great r?forrii .movement. All' thnt goes by tho hame is not necessarily reform. Nci. un seldom it i? bur if al humbug and callow statesmanship. That ia so, and that is almost bound to bo so when unpracticed bands soizo tho helm. But tho popple can not bc dooeived, and will not be deceived, in ono groat and over-ruling measure of reform, that ? they have. at hearU that in quickening tho popular pujde all over tho wide land, and that I ls the rulo of tho poople by tho peo ple; or, in other v/ords, solf-goyorn-; mont in a plain, unequivocal, unquali fied sonso of the. phrase as Jefferson understood it and the fathors of tho D?mocratie party prcaohed froin. th? housetops. Thoro may bo thoso in control of the Alliance and other popular organisation? who aro deluding tnetn solvos with hoing able to boss these organization a and they maybe to-day doing it to no inconsiderable extent. But tho day comes when thone things will bo put to rights. Tho ono great thought, tho ono groat fooling, tho ouo groat hope? at tho heart of those organizations, is tho assertion of the plain manhood of the country andi its undying hostility to being kept longor hr tho leading strings of potent political masters. This very thought, this very feeling, will bring things to rights after awhile. It will not bo long boforo tho great body M\ tho peoplo gathered in thoso organi zations will find out the difference between the mon intont on serving themselves and those honestly and truly dovotod to tho . service of a regenerated popular oauso. At present it is hard to make tho average mau believe that thero is a man in tho country left who is not intent on his own Hellish onds. The very political debauchery through, which wo have passed for over a 3uar ter of a century has given us cspnir for our inheritance and sec tional bato as a national sentiment. Tho result of it all is that tho peo ple of the country have awakened to lind themselves sold out to tho money holders nnd monopolists who have 8cizod the governmont of our com mon country, and who are fattening on tho egregious spoils which they take by Fodoral enactment from tho grandest industries that tho hand of | man ever wrought out. Tho people havo risen up to ask themselves what they aro going to do about it. The first great popular wave has passed over us, sweeping away doubtless many of tho old landmarks. There aro those delud ing themselves with tho thought that I this is only a popular flurry that in time will como to nothing. 8uoh Ecopie hail o very mistake now made y this popular movement ns mean-1 ing tho speedy downfall of tho great | popular organizations. They desory in ovory indiscretion and illiberality tho fatal incapacity of this benotted self-rulo, ns they seo it. But wo do not soo it so. Tho peoplo of this country havo a history in which is plainly written tho capaoity of the Amorican frcoman to tako oaro of | himself. Wo should deceive our selves if wo mistook tho flounder of I tho giant in now conditions for inca* pacity. We havo reached a new social epoch whioh is seeking expres sion over the whole civilized world. There is a rovolt ag.ainst the yellow slave that has so long played tho mastor, and the most far-seeing statesman must soo that new Booial conditions are arising that old politi- j oal dogmas will fail to satisfy. There is a now world looming up before thoso who havo oyes to sec and tho ono groat departure from the past caught in a phrase is : Man is greater; than monoy. Yes, that tho day| when tho money holders and mono polists omi stretoh thoir hands pyes I tho world and call it theirs, has como to judgment and that mankind will not longer consent to sell thoir birth right for a mess of pottage. This may bring blood, it may bring confusion, in some parts of tho world, but in this country, whoro the people stand up in their own right and in thoir own might, the tale is told and tho new day hos como.
