Dear Sir: I was elected editor of the A?iariee department of the Barn well People on the C;h Juiy last. 1 did not desire the position, but accepted ani h avo manage! it to the best of my ability, for uo personal gain, benefit or ! purpose, bac simply for the good ef the I Order. j lu the issue of the 13:h, inst., I gave an editorial oo "The Alliance and ! its aims." I enclose a copy and ask j you, as the head of the Order in the I Sfate, to tell me if it is or is not good ! and sound Alliance doerriue. I ask this : of you because of the adaption aud publication of the following r?solvions io the Bitubers: Advertiser by the.' Btmberg S ib Alliance. I a-k your j judgment simply because I want to know whether I am right or -wrong, and go j ? to you at headqa triers. ! ; Yours fraternally. ! J. M. Pate. ' The Relations of the Alliance to ! ' Politics. j 1 LrrxLs Rock. S. C . March 31. *90. ! Mr. M J. Pate. Barawell, S. C-? D.ur Bro : Your letter of 20:h, con taining clipping. "The Alliance and it.- aims.*' and res Mations in reference to same by the Bamberg Alliance, was received dorio" tnv absence from home last week. Perhaps I can best answer your letter j1 by stating as briefly a* possible what I jv conceive to be the relations of the Al lim?e to pohtie-s. The first dec'ia-ation of intentions j ta our constitution savs : " To labor ! , for the education of the agricultural j classes in the science of economical j 1 government, in a strictly non-partisao j T spirit. ? ' I8 This declaration is full of suggestive a thoughts. The first thought suggested ^ is chat these classes need to be educa- ; . ted in the science of economical gov- ! eminent This leads naturally to the I inquiry, have these classes been care- j. les^. abnu* this kind of education, and j 1 if p? has this carelessness made them j v tiie victims of vici >us legislation, leg- L - -?r i-I:'ion that is unequal and oppressive; to ?hese classes. The A?Hance assumes | E (and we think correctly) that such has j been the case. Tariff projection might be cited as an illustration of this kind of unequal and oppressive legislation. And it may be | weh to remark here, that tariti proteo- i tion is more distinctively a party issue j t (as between the two great political j parties in this4country) than any other. I f Tariff protection taxes the agricultura! | classes? he largest consuming classes \ of manufactured products?to build up 1 ? and enrich the g.-e?t manufacturing in- I e dus?r'es of this country. The Bepub- t lican party fovors the protective policy. The Democratic party opposes it. The '{ \ Alliance Uids its membership to free themselves from partisan prejudices? ; t the great party blind?and to examiue i this question in the light of reason and ? * right and then to do what wouid be for j t "the greatest good to the greatest nom- | ( ber " j Then if we take up the financial or : 6 money question, which is more a ck-??s thai; a parfv onestino?neither of the ? great politicai panie- having looked ; t afte.' tiie interests of the agricultural I cias-es in the financial legislation for ; < the country since l$65 fn proof of this we might cite the extraordinary ? privileges granted to the netionci banks. < the discrimination against the farmers* ( securities in the establishment of these < banks, the demonetisation of silver, the ? ? reduction of the volume of currency bv the retirement of United r-tates bonds : I and the cancelling of nati .nal bank < rjo?ea. and in short the establishment < and maintenance of a financial policy ! ? tha* ts surely r< ?:tic;ti?j the urt ai middle ] class to a condition of dependence and ! war:t. i hi- policy if ? mg continued 1 wi?? make a strong eeotral:xvd govern !

Of c-ur-e if ail of the great farming ' classes of this country could have freed themselves frota party aud sectional prejudices, and if they bad been educa ted ;n tiie science < f political economy, l.'i-v id i, ?v-- together and tbe.*e wrongs could not have come ui?->n f re fn.

Alliance members will engage to such discussions in 00 ? >th*?r lioiiit. {: li-:?

When rati fied it would become a State Alliance demand, and the membership would vote for no man who was nut pledged to work for its legal enactment. The Alliance makes no war on any political party. When it warits legis lation it don't ask the candidate if he is a Democrat, Republican, Whig, Know Nothing or a Greenbacker ; it simply takes a pledge that he will if elected work to secure the enactment of its measures, and lets him take his chances. The word "labor'' in the declaration which we have been examining mean? effort at performance?it means there are to be no drones to the Alliance hive while the educational work is needed. Now a word in reference to the article frotn the Barn well People and I close, and let me say that I see nothing in it to condemn. Your solicitude lest the Alliances hip should be wrecked in the stormy sea of politics was no doubt shared by thousands of as good Alli ance men as there are in the State. Your fear that the Alliance might be- j come clannish and refuse to vote for j any save members of the Order will I think prove unfounded. The Alliance | B?ethod leaves each member free to vote j for the candidate of their choice, pro- j vided he is right on measures, and j education in the science of political ? economy is relied on to secure unity :n j support of measures, and it must be I kept in mind that the State Alliance j bas submitted bo demands, cons?quent- j ly each member will determine for him seif his duty as to tuen and ?s ensures, j I said duty ; yes, that is the wotd?j duty?it carries the idea of relieving ; politics of sentiment and looks to the j securing of economy and efficiency j government. There is another idea in the article ! "rom the Ham well People which the ? Alliance Brotherhood should never ? Orget : The danger of loading "the . \iliauce ship with self-seekers, who 0"k to their owu advancement from j heir connection with our Order. Office- j eekers should find no encouragement I o enter the Alliance.

It only warned ageiust tpparent danger?they construed it as lq attack on the ' Farmers' Movement.'' j In conclusion, it may not be improper j \ or me to suggest to members of our SB _ I _)rder that in the discussion of the [ucstion of State policy, as citizens? lot as au organisation?that they take.' nto the discussion that bread charity , vhich "coustrues words and deeds in j heir most favorable light, granting j ionesty of purpose and good iuteutions ; 0 others." Yours fraternally. E. T. Stackhousk. ! President S. C. S. F A. [? That Counter Conference. ! This promisee to be a great year for he Columbia hotels Mr. Shell and Mr. Tillman called a ? armer's convention at Columbia and it j net and acted. N\>w Colonel Wooc- ! vard, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Sims call a ! elect conf?rence of representative farm- : ts to meet at the -?acte town, declare hat the first farmers' -convention was ; ill wrong and take measu es to defeat : ts purposes. There re no imaginable reason why hirty or forty representative farmers ?hould not meet at Columbia and take j my action they iike, so long as they do ; jut conspire against the public peace )r perform a riot There is no reason ; shy, ander the same limitation, a I series of selected gentleme should no' ? lieet there, contra Jict their predecesst-rs is flatly as possible and arrange plans for he promulgation of their owu ideas and he overthrow of the ideas ot everybody ;lse. If, however, anvbodv should ask is for-the reasons why such gentlemen : ?hould or ought to take such action or what we suppose they will accomplish )r hope to accomplish, we should be compelled to reluctautly give it up and I request to have an easier one asked us. j Mr. Tiiiman has bed himself put be fore the Democrats of this State as a candidate for their nomination for Oov ;roor, and we suppose he will, when he : *ets ready, eogage in some kind of a ?. perambulation or progress ^through the : s-tate to tell why he thinks he ought to be the nominee. As we under-tand :he object of this last call for a couier- I suce it is to have gentlemen tell the people why Mr. Til Unan ought not to j he the Domin?e, 'i ne probable result ? >f fuch action, in t.??- view, will be to make him the nominee Mr. Tillman is on a platform which uine-t n ? of The people of the Sfate en dorse.

It is the history of politics, as of war, that more is gained by taking advantage of the mistakes of the enemy than by the most carefully laid and thoroughly executed plans. Mr. illrnan is himself a migh ty good hand at putting his foot is it, and if be could be left undisturbed he would soon tangle and throw himself as badly as a runaway horse gorng through a wire fence with a plow and harness.
