A Dazzling Scheme. ?

of the oountry, held the last part of ?
'0?T- j?fiitk? at^ro out-of-the-way hotel in the j
^pt?HO?ij of New York there was concoct- ,
v ed. a daring fiuaneial and commercial ^
W .. ae&eme which it is intended to propose ,
. lo the farmers of the country, and which ,
? >: rivals in its character and magnitude ]
the aubtreasory scheme. j
, Measures began to be taken in March <
; togpt together a sufficient number of ,
cv Hfce^Jeadere in the Alliance movement i
- Xo give the project au effective paren- ,
tage, and they were attended with such <
8a?see8s that over thirty of them were (
brought together in New York, J une 22.
The scheme waa the joint invention of ?
V . B.?I Balch, secretary of the National ?
Cordage eompauy (by which the Twine a
and Bagging Trost is incorporated) and (
" v Oswald Wilson, president of the Farm- (
; ers* Alliance exchange of N. Y. city, a
both of whom hope to secure pleasant e
offices in the projected reorganization, t
Mr.i Balch, it is said, presented to the r
corporation of which he is the secretary v
V-": such an alluring picture of the ad van- p
tiges io be gained by connection with ?
the scheme that it undertook to pay the
* expenses of the proposed meeting and ].
; ~ the traveling hotel expenses of the peo- ti
pJertteoding it. Mr. Wilson canvassed a
fe'v the Sooth and West in person in the r
r interest of the project and selected the tl
meo to be invited to come io on the gi
fe ground floor. When all things were <j
ready and the list had been made suffi- 1
. ? ciently inflaentiai io appearance to suit a
*'-\ the concoctors, notices were sent to the S\
? selected individuals to meet at the As- %\
tor house, N. Y.. city, Sunday, J une 21. c;
v Nearly every invitation brought ?.. man, a
h~ bot a few of the schemers went to anoth- js
1 ' er hotel instead of the one appointed as S
the general 1ezvous and thereby n
I nearly gave the scheme away. They i\
were corralled by the leaders, however, ej
I and escorted with other delegates to c]
I - CredeYSooth Beach Hotel, on the bay 0i
f4. ?inore side of Staten Island where tH a]
conclave was held behind closed doors, p]
Besides Balch and Wilson the follow- t{
tog men were present at the meeting:
Col. W. Peck, of Geo-gia, president tl
of the Georgia Alliance executive com- j &i
mittee; G. W. Macune, editor of The j D(

There were two or three others who ra
did not register at the Sooth Beach
Hotel, bot who attended ail the meet- thi
ings, returning to their hotels in the Cc
city at night. Among them was a rep- ca
resentative of the Alliance in Ohio and wi
one from Chicago. se
The meetings were held tn the main ra
dimng room on the second floor, which an
looks ont from a broad piazza over the po
Atlantic. The Chicago man, whose tal
name could not be ascertained,
was elected chairman. Meetings were ,
held Monday nie'nt, nearly all day a
Tuesday and Wednesday morning, ^D
June 22, 23 and 24. Nearly all the ?
persons attending remained at the 00
Sooth Beach hotel throughout the three
. co
days. The National Cordage company
.-is said to ha Ve footed the bill. *?
The scheme which Balch and Wilson
laonched opon the meeting was for a
national organization of Alliance stores M
and exchanges throughout the country, bj
with a national headquarters in N. Y., th
city, a principal branch establishment to
in Chicago, state central exchanges in ru
every State, district organizations in fo:
every Congressional district and county, th
and city exchanges wherever feasible, tn
The object was to control the trade of ke
the Alliance members, selling to them
on the co-operative plan through the f01
local exohanges everything they should |y
ever wish to bay at a slight advance on a?
the wholesale prices ; the head office to ;
pay for the merchandise ; to handle the 0^
surplus products of the farms for the ?a,
farmers, and to act as bankers for them 0f
whenever required. ^c
The branch headquarters at Chicago
were designed as a iriain source of sup?
ply for pork, lard, Sour and other pro- 001
visions, and for some kinds of agricul- ex
taral implements, wagons and furoi- 00
tore. From New, York, or through m
lae agency there, it was defined to cei
make all necessary purchases in a whole- co1
sale way, cf machinery, boots and shoes, we
clothing, bats and caps, sewing ma- t0
chines, harness,?carpets oilcloths, ferti- wa
lizers hardware/ dry goods, medicines,
weapons, books, and such other stoff
as could not be obtained to greater ad- ljCi
vantage elsewhere. J^1
Bot this gigantic scheme coa?d not *c!
be floated without substantial capital
ano without th?* general acceptance and
co-oper*iioo oi the members of the
Alliance. The National Cordage com- i 8e^
pany stood ready, provided it was given
exclusive privileges in the supply of
cotton .bagging and binder twine to the
Alliance exchanges, to lend substantial
financial assistance to the scheme, and
?me of the promoters were very ready
to accept its proposition. But Colonel
Peck of Ceorgia, refused to counte?
nance any such ironclad agreement,
rle ?as witling, to arrange with the
rwine Trost" to pay its own price for
roch of its cotton bagging and twine as
the members and exchanges might
want ; but he had recently investigated
i new .kind of cotton bagging of which
ie thought very favorably, and he did not
propose to be bound so that he could
a ot buy some if he wanted to. Enough
)f the others joined him to prevent the
sonsummation of the little $10,000,
300 scheme of the Twine Trust. Final
y it waa proposed to effect a corporate
>rganization under as favorable legal
?nditions as could be obtained-and
ite New Jersey law regardling cor?
porations was considered quite suffioient
y accommodating-with a nominal capi?
tal of at least $10,000,000, A system
)f preferred proprietary shares of this
?lass to be apportioned among the pres?
ent promoters, and to be nooassesable,
paid np and everlasting. These shares
inly should be represented in the
governing organizations. Then there
was to be an issue of common shares,
which should be open to subscription
by the local exchanges and their
individual members, upon which the
li rectors should levy assessments as
necessary iu order to provide funds for
;he transaction of business of the central
?change. Bat the holders should be
entitled to no share of the government
>f the institution.
The scheme as set forth was gen?
erally acceptable, and some of the pro
Doters were for having it immediately
ipproved and put io operation ; but
Colonel Peck and Messrs. Gowan and
farther were opposed to such a sum
nary proceeding. They were appar?
ently nuable to satisfy themselves of
he wisu">m of the scheme ?nd would
tot cousec* to have anything to do
rith it until it had received the ap
troval of the Alliance through its
ar io us channels of expression.
Accordingly the scheme was formu
ited io a glowing prospectus, io which
he name of the institution was quoted
s the National Alliance Union, and
esolutions were adopted calling upon
be State exchanges to submit the
oberne to the judgment of their subord?
inate district and country exchanges,
'be resolutions further provide that if,
nd when a sufficient number of the
abordiuate exchanges, speaking
irough their respective State ex
banges, approve the plan, the obair
tan of the South Beach meeting shall
isue a cali for a notional convention of
tate delegates to consider and form
late and finally adopt and organize
ie scheme. Secret circulars to this
feet have been sent to the State ex
?anges of every State where there is
ie to be found. The district treas
rers are being quietly educated to the
lan and will presently go out among
ie alliances to boom it along.

There in pressing need in South

A man who has the ability, the man?
hood, the patriotism, the unselfish
devotion to the Stale, and the hon?
esty of purpose to throw himself into
the breach andjpoint out the right and
lead the people. We are satisfied
that the majority want to do right,
and will do the right if they can see
it. They feel that lhere is something
radically wrong, but just what, has
not yet been clearly defined. In
their eagerness to right things, a
large portion of our people unfortu?
nately have been led to extremes by
a lot of demagogues who have taken
advantage of the general unrest, and
they are beginning to see it. Now

Tobacco culture in Florida, bas been
: successful, and profitable, if we csn
judge from the oensns report on the
subject. The total number of planters
during the census year was 629; acres
1.169; number of pounds produced 467,
293; value of crops, estimated on basis
of actual sales. $104,631. This would
give an average of $89.85 for each
acre planted, which is more than double
the value of an acre of the best cotton,
at the present prices.

The Chill ians are still busily ocupied
with their war, but as they are having
their wintry weather they no doubt fiud
it less arduous than it appears to us from
a July stand point. The Con gressiona
party are still having the best of the
fight. The latest is that the Congres?
sional cruiser Magellaoes hes met and
defeated three of Balmaceda's war ves
sels. Our sympathies are with the insur?
geais, who are fighting for their rights,
against the usurpation of Bairna> .eda, the
would-be dictator.
The Coosaw lawyers have agreed that
Chief Justice Fuller shall decide that
much argued and more taogled case on
tts merits. If they shall accept his de?
cision as final, no matter what it may
be, they will be wise. As it stands now the
Coosaw Company is mining rock in the
marshes on which it pays no royalty,
and the Florida phosphates are becom?
ing more popular and in greater demand
at the expense of the Carolina diggings.
The State has lost but little royalty so
far, because the Coosaw people have
been paying on the surplus they had
stored up when they were stopped
The greatest danger is in the advantage
the situation gives to the Florida fields.
Their development threatens the indus?
try in this State with dangerous rivalry.
