(»ov Tillman's speech at Xewlierry : *
“If the tlovernor could have seen his
w ay clear to endorse cordially the rem
edies for existing depression that his
Alliance brethren arc pulling for, both
lie and they Would have been strength
ened.}’
A<forney tleneral Mcf.atirln Is of tjie
opinion that the Statute law upon the
subject of the County Commissioners is
of full force nod not abridged or r«-
p-alcd in any w ay by the constitutional
ametidment, and that the terms of the
present otHcers will end n|>on the elec-
vatfugeof the uecesslticj of the grower.
Unless seasons are wonderfully fav
orable the crop of *112 w ill be much less
than that of 91. The reduction In acre
age ami the use of commercial fertili
ser* makes that certain. When thecot-
ton trade tlud* out that ^Southern farm
ers are in dead earnest and have; taken
sure means to reduce production pros
pects will brighten. It will take a long
time to open the eyes of the. outside
world to the real situation In the South
and the campal^tvof education t>hould
begin at once. Kvery man who plants
cotton can help some, no matter how
small his crop, and no one should hesi
tate to hear his testimony.
All great undertakings have had
smatl beginnings. Now if the farmers
in this county will send us postal card
notices giving the acreage of cotton and
quantity of fertilizers set apart for that
crop tliis year as compared with '.nst we
will summarize and publish results and
set the hail in motion. If the farmers
of tliiruwell ’.catch on” to this Idea in
earnest the rest, of the South w ill fid-
low the good example set.
But if you, dear reader, wait for ypnr
neighbor to commence nothing will
come of it. We shtrnld be glad to get a
postal card notice from every farmer in
the county before the .list March.

The “conditions which.surround us
her t justify our co-operation.
We meet in the midst of a ■ natlpn
brought to the verge of moral, politicaJ
and material ruin. Corruption domi
nates the ballot-box, the Legislatures,
the Congress, and touches even the er
mine of the bench. The people aie de
moralized. Many of the States have
l>«eii compelled to isolate the voters at
the polling places in orde- to prevent
ii diver.-a I intimidation or bribery. The
new*pa|>erN are subsidized or muzzled,
public opinion silenced; business pros
trated, our homes covered with mort
gages, labor impOverhdied, and the land
concentrating in the hand* of capital
ists. The urban workmen are d ‘tiled
the right of organization for self-pro
tection; im|N>rted pauperized, labor
beat* down their wages; a hireling
standing army, unrecognized by our
law s, is established t>< shoot them dnw n,
and they are rapidly degenerating to
European conditions. The frtiits.of the
toil of millions are boldly stolen to build
up colonial fortune*, unprecedented in
the history of the world, while their
po*eenM»r* de*pi*« the Republic and en
danger liberty. From the same prolific
womb of governmental injustice we
breed the two great clause*—paii|»ers
and millionaire*. The national |tower

rich bondholders; silver, wJiich ha*
been accepted as coin since the dawn of

where Scotch drovers halted with their' 1
cattle for the night. On such occasions
-he often had a chance to see illustrations
of an animal's intelligence as well as of
its physical |x;rfection.
One day when there was a pouring
rain a man consented to sit for mo at the
inn where 1 was staying* He brought
his collie with him and both 'of Hrrtn
were dripping wet, so he put off his
plaid and laid it on the floor by the dog.
1 made a very successful sketch of the
man. but before 1 had finished it the
dog grew fidgety with the wet plaid,,
and ins master said, “Tak' it awn’ mon;
tak' it awa !"
The dog took tlie end of it between
his teeth and dragged it out of tlie room,
i—After'tVtiad finished the drover's js>r-
trait 1 asked liiiu if lie thought his dog
would lit/quiet for a time, as 1 wished
'to sketch him.
“Oil. yes. mon,’* he <iTowered, “heil
do anytliing 1 say to him. Watch!’
Watch!" he called, and H»eu “whustled’'
for him. as the Scotch say.
As-the dog did not apjiear we went to
gether to look for him. and found him
sitting,liefore tlie kitchen fire with the
end of the plaid in his month, holding it
up to dry. I exprossei^ my rnliniration
of his intelligence, and the master -re
plied:
"All, he’s a canny creature* sir! He
knows a mony things, does tiiai dog. sir.
But cojne awa’. moyi; the gentleman
wants to mak' your picture."
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his jiortrait.—

We recommend a national currency,
safe and sound and flexible, issued by
the General Government only, a full le
gal tender for all debts, public and pri
vate, and that without tlie use of bank
ing corporations, a just, equitable and
efficient means of circulation, direct to
tlie people, at a tax not to exceed 2 per;
cent., as set forth in tlie sub-treasury
plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or some
better 8\ stem. Also by payment* in
discharge of It* obligation* ior public
improvement*.
iVe demand a graded income tax. We
believe tliat the money of Hie country
should lie kept as much as possible in
the hand* of the people, and hence we
demand that'all nttional and State rev
enues shall he iiiuited to the necessary
expense* of the Government, economi
cally and honestly administered.
We demand tliat postal saving* hank*

the safe deposit of tlie earning* of tlie
jieople and to facilitate exchange.

Tlie land, including aii the natural
resource* of wealth, is the heritage of
all the iieople and should not lie monop

alien ownership of land should lie pro
