Co?. T. S'.ackhouse, Little Kock,
S. C. 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. !

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

remarked, tL:> is m<?re a ciass than a
par'y question, hut partisanship has
beeti Ute blind that has blinded the
fanning c'a-se- to the great wrong that
was being inflicted upon them. 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

,?. ;, - would be submitted to tfce^ub- 1
Alliances for ratification. 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. Alliance Asso- !

>erg Brethren ? thick r-hrj misconstrued '
he purpose of the arricie 're the Baro-;'
veil People. 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 ,

Mr. Shell and Mr. Tillman called a ?

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 ;

is flatly as possible and arrange plans for

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

*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

people why Mr. Til Unan ought not to j

We do not suppose, however, that this
voluuteered advice will betaken. Mr.
Till m au is blessed with a ember of
valuable opponents and they will pro
bably persisti? their labors to elect him
in their efforts to defeat him. 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.
Divers gentlemen and journalists, how
ever, persist in well meant efforts to
head h:m off and run him down, and
between riding, thumping and chasing
they will have him in the State House
