If we are rightl/ informed, the proportion rae, for the town of Union to enbeeribe $26,>00 and the Alliaaeee $36,000. This wenld ;'ito the oontrol of the enterpriee to the tllimce, bj virtare of holding a good workog majsritj of the etoek. The great oemplaint of the oMton produere ie, that while middlemen, speculators nd Factor/ ownere get rich from bn/ing, einng ana manufacturing cotton, those who tear "the heat aad burden ef the day" in iroducing the staple, are either getting >oor or are barely making a living. Now, it seems t) us, the best way to ohange his unfair and unjust condition of affaire rould be for the Allianoe people of the otton States to do all in their power to aove the cotton Mills to the cotton flelde, ;et control of the mills, and thereby do way with middlemen and speculators, and ecure to themselves the enormous profits rbioh are said to be made by Cotton Factoies. Again, if the Farmers should own or con. rol any important number of Cotton Mills nd find the profits sq large that they could ron'ru Prtoe* for cotton, they . natu their poor brother farmers, and.forpe he other mills also to pay higher prioes. Jly many, no doubt, this proposition will be ooked upon as chimerical; but we belters t is as practical as the effort to revolutionise .he business methoJs of the oountry wherebj the Farmers, like everybody else, strive t< control the snle of their own produols and command the highest prico for them, and pay the lowest prices for the products o others. If it is prnctical for the Allianoe te built and establish business exohanges, co-opera tlvc'stoies and cotton warehouses in ever County, upon a cash basis found* on cotton, we do not see why it is no practical for Mia Alliance to build i Cotton Factory In every County of sufficient capacity to spin or weave the eottoi raised in that Ceunty, upon the same basis If any persons are entitled to the profile, o' tbc greatest part, derived from the eottoi product, in our opinion, (hey are the Fai mere who produce it, and we hope the tim is not far off when they will create a mar ket for their cotton, at their own doors, al their own mills, and kill off the speculators middlemen, &o., the moths *tho roll op th< high incidental charges against the cottoi before it gels to tho foreign mills, and whict is paid by the farmer in the reduced pric paid for his cotton.

Ben Terrell, i before the Farms Allianoe at Uaien, 1 Bep-ember 4,1889. > BKrORMKO I1T J. L. STRAIN. 8 Major Terrell spoke substantially at fol" lows: Ladies aud gent'emen, and membere of 1 the Farmers Alliance of Union Ceuuty: It affords me great pleasure lo meet and speak ' tosusha representative body of farmers as ' I meet here to-day. I, too, am a farmer, 8 advocating the interests of farmers, and 1 ' feel that in you I have au audience who will bear testimony with me as to the actual 1 wants of the farming classes. These I wdl attempt to speak of and inquire iulo the causes that lead lo them. But in the first place I will say that tho farmers can effect ' nothing without organization. Every man 1 whose interests a e identified with tho farming class should seek admission iuti the Farmers Alliance, for it is the only or. gauization on earth where they will be ' properly guarded und respected. All other 1 professions are practically arrayed agaiast tl tho farmers. Merchants, lawyers, doolors, and in fact every profession is more or less orgauized for self-protection, and we don't blame them. But we as farmer* claim the ' right to follow their example; and the Farmers Al'iauce is the only body that bids fair to protoct the farmers interests, and 1 prose a blessing to the country at large. With the history of the organization you are familiar, and it is unnecessary to speak on that point. The credit system and the meroileqa power of monied men qnd corporation* have ground out the life of the furmer, and made his time-honored profersion degrid1 ing. So much eo, that the youth* of the land who hare any ambition are looking to other holds for employment, and heuco, bone, einew, and brain* are driven from the farms, where they are so much ueeded. i The Alliance proposes to antagonise no c'ass or profession. Its objeot is self-prolectien, and it only requires a study of the history of .he past quarter of a ofutary to convince every reasonable man that a necessity does exist for a change of front. Twenty-five yenre ago the farmers owned half of the couutry, now they owu but onefourth of it. Then we had no mortgages, but now at least fifty per cent, of the propc.'tj is under mortgage. As the inouied powers have been pressing harder and /A harder continually, the farmers' position f HE has steadily been becoming more aud more embarrassing. Twenty-five years ago the taruicrs controlled the offices and finanor* of this country, and owned the products of the soil. Now things are changed, and monied men own all and gi*e only a email pittance, (if anything,) in return. Thus we see how things have been going ou and on, and if the farmer submits to this he is unworthy to be called a mint, much less a farmer. I must admit that some of the newspapers, have treated this matter with a spirit of liberult.y, but in many instances tli-y have been ngainst us. They nrcdiicctly or in* d rcct.y controlled by tuoliied powers that are allied with corporations whose object and interest is to kc? p the I'm anng classes poor and dependent. The politician, lawyer, merchant, and in fact all classes of men, sre oppose 1 to trusts. All suffer, more or lofS, t>y them. Why should any one object to ihe Alliance when it opposes no one, but is simply for the building up of the agricultural interests -1 <*", V r - / J/ . .
