WHAT IS THE VERDICT
We have all seen that, .for
years past, Capt. Tillman has
been crying out against the cor
ruption which existed in the
- State government, but that

A HAPPY WORLD.
The Charleston World’s pic
ture gallery grows worse and
worse as it goes on. The first
picture published (that of Capt.
B. R. Tillman) was bad enough
in all conscience, but those who
came after him were doomed to
even worse punishment than
their chief. From the flattering
editorial comments which it
makes on its pictorial enterprise,
the World seems quite satisfied
with its gallery, however, so we
suppose evrybody else ought to
be.
5T1E CROPOUTLOOK.
The crop reports received from
all sections of the County are
unusually cheerful, and our peo
ple of every calling unite in the
hope that propitious seasons
may continue to bless the farm
ers, and that the crop to be gath
ered in the Year of Grace 1890
will amply compensate them for
the dire agricultural calamities
which have overtaken them for
several successive seasons in the
past.

are also, in not a few of them, a opinions of the social, political,
number of supernumeraries who and financial problems of the
could very well be spared from day. Some of these problems
terests in a legitimate way, but
they have done so at the ex
pense of the interests and rights
of other people. Finally the far
mers, appreciating the advanta
ges to be gained by organiza
tion, and at the same time see
ing that their rights were being
encroached upon by some of
these combinations, have organ
ized for their own protection
and advantage, and called their
organization the “Farmers’ Al
liance.”
Unlike some other combina
tions the Farmers’ Alliance does
not propose to encroach on the
rights or privileges of any one.
Its sole purpose is to improve
the condition of the farmers in
every legitimate and proper di
rection. In proof of which we
refer to its declaration of prin
ciples and purposes, of which
declaration we are justly proud,
and we confidently challenge its
comparison with that of any
other organization in the world.
The Alliance is attracting
more attention just now than aH
the other combinations in the
country put together. Why is
this ? In the first place its. un
paralleled success k uniting the
farmers into one grand organi
zation has excited the greatest
surprise and wonder, and in
some cases anxiety ; again the
farmers are so strong numeri
cally, that if they ever do thor
oughly organize themselves into
one compact body and
feel and know their own ,
they can effect a peaceful but a
most complete revolution in the
political and business affaire of
the nation. Naturally the poli
ticians are anxiously watching
to see if the Alliance is going
into politics. And also many
who nave heretofore been living
at the farmers’ expense, with lit
tle or no return made for value
received, are afraid that the suc
cess of the Alliance will mean
that they must go to work for
an honest living. Others, with
no such selfish motives, are also
watching us, fearing that when
the farmers feel their power and
their present places, feavfng the
little work they do, with its
remuneration, to be done by the
better members of their profes
sion.
Has it never struck you how
many men live in our towns and
villages with apparently little
or nothing to do ? Yet who seem
to live well, dress well and have
more of the comforts and luxu
ries of life than do most of the
actual producers who work hard
everjr day. From whom do these
parties get their living at last ?
If the Exchange proves a suc
cess and the farmers are there
by enabled to buy and sell in
the best markets, and conse
quently to get a larger and a
fairer share of the products of
their labor, some of these super
numeraries will probably get
hurt; there will be a certain evo
lution in certain classes with the
survival of the fittest.
We read numerous well writ
ten articles in the agricultural
papers, full of convincing argu
ments to prove the many advan
tages and beauties of farm life
and urging the young men to
“stick to the farm,” but the
young men don’t stick as a gen
eral rule. Why ? One great
reason is that they see that the
same amount of labor, either
physical or mental, is better paid
almost everywhere else than on
the farm. If the Exchange en
ables ’/he farmers to retain a
larger share of their earnings
and thus to get better pay for
their labor, it will do more to
keep the y oung men on the farms
than anything that will ever be
said or written on the subject.
Again, the Exchange will
prove a great educator to the
farmer. It has already taught
him a vast deal about prices; it
has shown him what tremend
ous profits some people have
been making out of him ; it will
teach him to buy and sell to tot
ter advantage ; it will give him
a better knowledge of business
methods ; it will demonstrate to
him the advantage of the cash
over the credit system, and do
ing that will prove a strong in
centive to him to practise the
strictest economy till he can get
in a condition to buy entirely
for cash, and when he does that
he will feel like a different man.
It will teach him the necessity
of being more methodical and
accurate in his business. Again,

plan of the Exchange is not yet
perfect, and it is open to criti
cism ; but can those who criti
cize it formulate abetter one?
It is an easy thing to criticize;
anybody can do that. The brain
which originated the Exchange
idea is one of the greatest of
this age. The Exchange has al
ready saved hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the farmers of
the South and its grand work is
only begun. If we ever do feel
disposed to find fault with it,
let us remember what a venture
it is into new and untried fields:
what a departure from the old
ruts ; how many difficulties it
has had to contend with ; how
much opposition it has encoun
tered. Let us remember how
much derision and how many
jeers of contempt its enemies
will cast onus if it fails, and
lastly, let us remember that if it
is not perfect it is ours, it is the
best and the only one we have;
let our pride in our noble calling
make us ashamed not to sup
port it. Instead of criticizing it
let us lay hold like men to push
it on to success, let us talk it up,
explain its many and great ad
vantages ; and what is more im
portant, let us buy every dollar’s
worth through it that we possi-
b D-can.
This year is a critical time with
our State Exchange; it is now
an infant in its swaddling
clothes, but if it lives through
this year, (and the indications
now are that it will) next year
it will be agiant whose blessings
to our people will be incalcula
ble. It is in charge of some of
year increase.
Another one of
our declare-
let us constantly strive to main
tain brotherly love among our
selves ; let us be always ready
to accord to those who differ
with us the same honesty and
sincerity of purpose and convic
tion that we claim for ourselves.

business; we can’t blame him, no higher or more worthy object by losing your temper and using
we have only ourselves to blame, than the one set forth in this •- —i.:~v —i.—
In every civilized country, declaration. Every true man’s
with its complicated social con- education ends only with his
the foundation of his real educa- 0
tion, especially such a one as Order, “In things essential uni-
are facing us now and will need
to be solved in the near future.
One of them is to secure a more
equitable division of the pro
ducts of labor, as between the
laborer and the capitalist; at
E resent the capitalist seems to
e getting more than his share,
and to have the influence of the
national government entirely on
his side.
Again, the burden of taxes
bears unequally. Who pays
the taxes ? The capitalist roiling
in wealth, with his millions hio-
den away so that the assessor
can’t find them, or the hard
working farmer, whose posses
sions are all in personal proper
ty or real estate which he could
not hide if he would ?
Then again our national finan
cial system appears to be de
vised entirely in the interest of
the millionaires, to enable them
to pile up more millions at the
expense of their poorer country
men. Our growing crop of mil
lionaires and our ever increasing
horde of tramps show that some
thing is wrong. In the solution
of these and other problems the
Alliance, with its immense nu
merical strength can wield a
mighty influence. „ The more
intelligent thought and study
given to them by the rank and
files, the more surely will its in
fluence be for good. These prob
lems are too grave and knolty
and involve too much to our
selves and to our common coun-
tiy to be decided lightly or hur
riedly, or either to be left too
entirely to our leaders who are
only human like ourselves and
will need and ought to have our
intelligent assistance. To keep
informed on the questions of the
day and also to keep step in all
Alliance movements the mem
bers should take one or more
Alliance papers, read them care
fully and then discuss their con
tents in the meetings. Each
Sub-Alliance lecturer should be
furnished, at the expense of his
Alliance, with a copy of the
State and National organ, which
he should be expected and re
quired to read and to give his
Alliance the benefit of his read-
iug.^ Unde*' some such system

Tillman, the leader of one of
these factions, used the follow-
SS Alliance is not a political
machine, and you ought not to
use it in politics, the fight is in
the party and not in these Alli
ances ; anything like dragging
the Alliance into politics will
ruin mid finally destroy it.
Mr. Tillman’s bitterest enemy
should honor him for that speech
and I hope both his admirers and
opponents will follow this good
to v *c®- I especially trust that
mmDarlmgto
the brethren i
that
•n Conn-
5 ^iDheep their politics out cf
their Alliances. Don’t under-
stond from this that I would
advise you to take no port in
politics—on the contrary I hold
that it is every man’s duty, as a
good citizen of the State, inter
est himself in politics, but do it
as a citizen and not as a mem
ber of the Alliance. The part
the Alliance will take in his pol
itics will be, that if he has made
good use of his privileges as a
member he will be better able
to form correct estimates of men
and measures.
From present appearances the
coming campaign will be *bit-
ter one, but durinff all its heat
