Uro. Jus. F. Neil), New Birmingham,
writes for sample copies of Thf. Mer-
ctRY. We send them with pleasure,
and hope that each one will bring back
a new subscriber.
Bro. Asa Chambers writes from
Coke county, and wishes that Bro.
Evans Jones, or some other lecturer
would come out that way and talk to
the people on Alliance matters.
Bro. E J. Bacon [writes that Swin-
dale Alliance is in a flourishing condi-
tion, reclaiming backslider members
and gaining new onts, and that they
are a unit in all things pertaining to
the good of the order.
From Gtimes county, Bro. R. R.
Keith writes: "This county is on an
Alliance boom. I like The Mercury
just splendid. It has done more for
the people of Texas during this cam-
paign than anything tlse. We are
with )OU."
Bro. C Nummery, Walburg, Wil-
liamson county, writes: l'I like the
paper splendidly, and hate to lose any
of them," and complains that he does
not get it regularly. The fault is not
in this office, brother, but somewhere
else on the route.
Bro. C. S. Shelp writes Irom Pleas-
ant Grove, Bastrop county, that the
Alliance there is in a prosperous con-
dition and all working in harmony.
The Alliance cotton yard at Elgin has
been a success, ar.d satisractory both
to farmers and merchants in its work-
ings.
Bro. L. C. Bolin, Haynesville, La.,
writes: ' I take The Mercury and
could not do without it. Am proud
of the mmly fight you are making
through your grand paper, or any oth-
er way that suits you " He also in-
quires about what counties in Texas
contain school lands, a map of Texas,
etc., which are respectfully referred to
the Bureau of Agriculture, etc , Austin.
Bro. John C. Beck writes from Say-
ers, Bexar county, that the Alliance
cause is moving along smoothly in
southwest Texas. He recommends
that questions of public policy be often
chosen for discussion, and that mem.
bers be appointed to read essays on
different subjects, which are good sug-
gestions. Such exercises help to edu-
cate, and rids one of embarrassment in
public places.
Bro. W. J. Collins, Warren, Tyler
county, writes, and says that he lives
in as fine lumber country as there is
in Texas, and would take pleasure in
answering any inquiries from any
brother in any part of the state in re-
gaid to timber or lumber. He thinks
he can be of service to his brethren
and offers it. That is the true spirit.
We are here to benefit others, more
4han ourselves.
A letter from Bro. J. F. McGuire,
Ledbetter, Fayette county, Texas, has
been on our table some time, and
press of business prevented a notice.
He writes that the Alliance at that
place is holding its own, and gives a
detailed account of a successful co-op-
erative business carried on by the or-
der at that place. Write to Bro. Mc.
and he will take pleasure in giving
you information about it.
Bro. G. W. Grizzle writes from Mans-
field Alliance, Tarrant county, that
they have a band of iS members as
true as steel, with no thought of turn*
ing their backs upon the enemy. Bro
G. suggests that every Alliance mem<
ber who gets The Mercury should,
after reading it, give it tr> some one
else who is not a member of the Alli-
ance. He says it converted him, and
he believes it would others. We hope
everyone will follow the suggestion.
Bro. T. R. Lock, Goldthwaite, Mills
county, writes that the Alliance cause
is gaining ground very iast in that sec-
tion, and sends us the following sugar
p'um: "We like our paper better
than ever, and when I say 'our paper,'
I mean The Mercury of course."
Those in the east who desire to go
west would do well to address Bro.
Lock, for thtre is plenty of room in
Mills county for farmers, and he says
that cotton is made there with less ex
pense then in counties further east.

This is a year of surprises in the
South so far as political matters are
concerned For two or three years
the farmers' organizations, known as
the Wheel and Alliance, have teen
steadily growing in numbers and ag-
gressiveness. It is not necessary here
to relate the grievances of farmers ur-
ther than to poi it to the general de-
pression which pervades all the agri-
cultural regions. Fanners are dissat-
isfied at seeing all other branches of
industry prospering while their own is
getting worse and worse. Hence,
they have determined to take
a hand in politics. They do not fo:m
a new party south, but seize, by force
of numoers, upon the dominant party
and place their chosen men in the
highest places in the state and force
their conventions to nominate farmers
for congress. They have won in
Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi,
Texas and Tennessee. They are get-
ting control in other states and all
things indicate that they will dictate
the nomination of the democratic gov-
ernor in Kentucky next year.
The uprising in this state will be
ripe for work about the time of the
state convention.
Farmers believe they have been
neglected; that the laws are made in
the interest of other classes—not only
in the national congress but in the
sta'.e legislature They are ready to
burst the bonds with which politicians
uve held them and become masters
in fact as they are in numbers. —Far-
mers 1 lome Journal.

It has become very manifest that
the Farmers Alliance is going to be a
very powerful, and in some quarters a
controlling factor in the approaching
elections. The organiz ation has grown
with great rapidity in the last year or
two, and is so well disciplined and de-
termined on having a hand in conduct-
ing the government and controlling
legislation, that old politicians and
parties will be compelled in the future
to respect i s creed and conform to
the wishes and demands of the organ-
ization—Lynchburg Advance.

The Home Advocate, Mapleton,
Iowa, truthfully says:
The Farmers Alliance is a non-
pat tlsan organization but it is several
degrees from being non-political. It
is founded on politics. The funda-
mental principles on which it has
gtown and flourished are questions
which can be settled only b/ po'itical
action. The great mission of the Al-
liance is to educate men so that they
will know how to secure their just
rights. In order for any man to be a
benefit to himself or anybody else the
first thing that he must do upon enter-
ing the Alliance is to cast ofT the party
collar and declare himself a citizen,
determined to use the b>ltot for his
own good. Yes, the Allbnee is polit-
ical. and it sounds the dr; th knell of
monopoly and monopoly politicians,
be they found in whatsoever party.
The politics of the Aliunde is princi-
ples, not party, and the ni n whom the
Alliance supports must be true-blue.

The Greely (Kan.) Agitator states a
plain tru-h tersely, and asks a very
pertinent question in the following:
The laboring masses are moving fcr
God, home and native land. The old
party leaders and demagogues are
moving for the still-houses, Wall ttreet
and the party Voter, which side are
you going to move on when you go to
the ballot box? Remember there are
only two sides—one is right, and the
other is wrong. Choose ye.

The Topeka (Kan.) Advocate is in-
clined to indulge in irony, as witness
the closing sentence in the following:
Three measures in which the farm-
ers are deeply interested have be en
introduced in the present congress;
the sub-treaiury bill, the free coinage
bill, and the bill providing for govern-
merits loans on real estate security.
The sub-treasury bill and the free
coinage bill are already shelved, and
the other bill will be when it comes be
fore congiess. Of course farmers
should continue to vote for the politi
cians.

ALL UNDER ONE FLAG.
flie FreithJttiit of the Farmer ' Alllano#
>!••«! Ilie Men of tlio Norlliwent.
Col. L. L. Polk, national president of
the Farmer#' Alliance, has been making
a trip in liia ottidal capacity through the
stub* of the west and northwest, and
his impressions, us sot out in a letter to
The Progressive Fanner, of Raleigh, N,
G\, should lie studied by every farmer in
the country. Ho says:
The people of the great northwest
were never inoro thoroughly aroused to
their condition nor inore determined to
have relief. They are profoundly im-
pressed with the belief that the farmers
and bread winners of tho two sections
should unite and make common cause
against a common evil. Earnest, deter-
mined and enthusiastic as they uro in
promoting tho great principles of our
noble order, they have reached the con-
clusion that so long as tho fanners of
the north and south are arrayed on sec-
tional lines we can accomplish nothing.
To remain divided is to remain helpless,
and they appeal to the fanners of the
south to covenant with them that hence-
forth the wealth producers of tho land
shall stand together for tho common
weul of a common country, and I believe
that from every state, every county and
every Alliance in the south will come a
hearty response to this appeal for unity
and fraternity.
A sectional organization, embracing
only the people or thostatesof a section,
will bo powerless to obtain a redress of
wrongs inflicted by a power whose
agencies permeate every nook and
comer of the whole land. Nothing
short of a grand national organization,
standing under ouo flag, enduring to one
name, actuated by one purpose—tho re-
demption of the country from the deadly
gra«p of monopoly—can give us justice
and relief. I sincerely trust that the Al-
liance of my own and other southern
states, at their annual meetings now near
ut hand, will make such response to
these overtures of peace and good will
on the jiart, of our northern brethren as
will forever blot from our country the
blight and stigma of sectional hate and
prejudice, and I confidently believe
they will do it. Let the Alliance crown
itself with undying glory by consum-
mating this grand work.
To Ui-platc Corporation*.
W. A. McKeighan said in accepting
tho congressional nomination of the
fanners in tho Second district of Ne-
braska:
"I take it that you and I believe that
corporations created by virtue of the
laws of the state of Nebraska were cre-
ated not for tho sole benefit of tho incor-
porators, but for the public good, and
that the public good demands that these
corporations be subject to regulation and
control by the people of the state; that
schedules of freight rates and passenger
fares should lie prepared for all tho rail-
way lines within the state, and that
those rates should bo so ndjustecLas to
allow those corporations a fair aim equi-
table compensation for tho money value
of their different lines and a fair return
on tho capital required to operate them.
To bring this about is a matter that you
must trust to tho wisdom of the legisla-
ture that you are about to elect. I be-
lieve th,-it congress should so amend and
simplify the present interstate commerce
law that it will have some force in the
regulation of interstate commerce, and
will bo made plain enough so that the
average citizen can understand some-
thing of its provisions."
(¡umblers In Grain.
It is a well known fact that gambling
boards of trade are constantly offering
on tho market thousands of bushels of
grain and other farm products which
have 110 existence and which will never
bo, and aro never intended to be, deliv-
ered. They consist only of nothing; and
tho buying and selling of them are mere
"bets" which are settled simply by pay-
ing tlu> difference between the price at
which they sold and tho market price at
the time the "bet" matures. Of course
the more of a thing which is offered for
salo, the greater the tendeucy must bo
to lower the price. And of course the
selling of these millions of bushels of
uothing, but supposed to be real, loads
tho market down with an apparent sup-
ply which has 110 real existence, and
causes the market to decline just as
effectually as if real wheat had been
sold. And in consequence of these
scheming methods 011 the part of the
grain gamblers tho fanner is actually
made to give away about one crop out
of every five he produces.—Cor. Journal
of Agriculture.
.Stop A Urn Landlordism.
The census taken ten years ago shows
that tho United States liad 570,000 ten-
ant farmers, tho largest number of any
country in tho world. It is also true
that this country has inoro farmers who
own tho land they work than any
Euroiieati country at least. The large
ami of this country enables it to sur-
pass in both these apparently contra-
dictory conditions of farming. The
pa«sago of a law by congress to prevent
alien landlordism in the United States
is a much needed measure. European
capitalists have been largely investing in
American farm lands, especially in the
west, and a check to this is necessary to
prevent those localities from relapsing
into as bail a condition as alien land-
lords long ago brought Ireland.—Amer-
ican Cultivator.
.Iimlice In Taxation.
The Farmers' institute, held in Belle-
ville, Ills., adopted the following resolu-
tion:
"Resolved, That this Farmers' insti-
tute recommends that our system of tax-
ation be changed, and that taxes be based
on the income of tho citizen rather than
on the value of his property."
A simple means of changing the air of
a sick room is to opeu a window at the
top and opening tho door move it back
and forward rapidly, so as to insure a
CttfTeut of fresh air from tfee window,
nint «hail we Do to tie' ftavedr
We, the laboring masses, elect men
aid send them to the legislative halls of
oor country to represent us in the enact-
ment of any and all laws, whether they
are for our individuaUinterest as a class
or against it.
Now, to sum the matter up, it appears
that the laboring masses are not repre-
sented in congress at all. Nut a single
bill lias passed congress for tho last
thirty years that lias tho slightest ten-
dency to make labor more remunerative;
but, on the other hand, wo have a list of
bills too long to tako valuable space iu
this paper to enumerate them, which
have for their general object and ten-
dency tho making of investments of cap-
ital more remunerative.
Now the most important question that
can arise from this state of affairs is
this: "What shall wo do to be saved
from a system of lords and tenants?" or,
what is the same, a moneyed aristocracy?
Are we ready to surrender tho noble
principles of lilwrty, tho purchase price
of the blood of our forefathers, for the
aggrandizement of the moneyed men of
America and let them lord over us as
slaves, serfs and tenants?
Is this the legacy that we must leave
our children in this, our dear home of
America, and bo called soreheads and
grumblers because we try to send up our
voices to the halls of congress against
usurpation and oppression? Nay, verily,
we have yet one alternative, and that is
to select men whose interests are identi-
witli labor and who uro willing to pledge
themselves in writing to guard well the
pecuniary as well as national interest of
the laborer, and when thus pledged if
they violate their obligations to their
constituency let us go to see them at
once, oh their return from congress, and
escort them gently to some lonely but
sccluded spot and whip them as we
would a sheep killing dog. Why not?
They are but servants, and when they
betray tho sacred trusts imposed in them
by tho people, their sovereigns and mas-
ters, they ought to be whipped like auy
dumb brute.—D. A. Itadley in Journal
of Agriculture.
One County's Mortgages.
A late issue of The Times-Democrat of
New Orleans says:
The Hon. J. M. Fippen, an Indianian,
who lias busied himself recently in in-
quiring into the causes of farmers' com-
plaints that are so rife in his state as
well as in other agricultural states of
tho Union, lias unearthed a state of
things in his own county of Tipton that
is (piito startling. It seems that in
point of resources and condition Tipton
is unsurpassed in tho Mississippi valley.
During the last twenty years, so fruitful
is its soil, it has produced more than
twice as much as it has consumed. Mr.
Fippen, after rummaging for some weeks,
with several assistants, among tho mort-
gage records of the county, has dis-
covered the following to be the state of
its mortgage indebtedness at regular in-
tervals for the last forty years:
Jau. 1, 1850 $156,190
Jan. 1, 16U0 148,798
.lull. I, 1970 607,000
Jan. 1, 1HS0 802,143
Jau. 1, 1SU0 2,287,435
At the beginning of tho present year
the real estate of the county in question
was loaded with an indebtedness equal
to 80 per cent, of its assessed, and prob-
ably to 00 per cent, of its selling, value!
There are only l.j,000 inhabitants in the
count}-, and of course therefore only
about 8,000 heads of families. The mort-
gage debt of $2,287,485 divided among
8,000 families would put a debt of $763
on every family iu the county! The
mortages carry 8 per cent, interest, and
therefore every family on an average in
Tipton county, Ind., has to pay $61 in-
terest every year on its mortgages—and
that, be it remembered, is exclusive of
all burdens of railroad, chattel aud
county indebtedness! Very many coun
ties in most of the agricultural states
are Baid to bo in a similar condition to
Tipton county, Ind.

Tiike Time to Think.
It is a duty that farmers owe to them-
selves to do inore thinking. Don't allow
your opinions to be formed by what any
one says or writes, 110 matter what h¡3
position or reputation may be. Every
man's opinions are molded more or less
completely by circumstances which sur-
round and control him. If he is wealthy,
or in tho habit of mingling with people
of that class, he will naturally look upon
economic questions from their side, and
can hardly be expected to fully realize
what they mean to tho humbler classes.
If he is a poor man his judgment is quite
as likely to be more or less biased by the
jaundiced envy so often exhibited by
those who have to struggle for a compe-
tence. Head thoughtfully the opinions
of both, but accept thoso of neither, until
you have thoroughly digested the
thoughts they express and considered
also the probable motives by which the
writers were influenced.
It would lie a healthful practice if
farmers, when they meet together, even
in social visits, would calmly discuss po-
litical topics between themselves. These
are as much business mattero as is the
management of their farms, flocks and
herds, or the expenses of their families.
—Northwestern Farmer.
They Will Not Submit.
Already the farmers of this country
as a class are mere tenants at will of
capitalists who hold mortgages on their
farms. They are becoming thoroughly
aroused and alarmed about their future.
To be tauielv whipped into serfdom they
will not submit, because they are begin-
ning to clearly understand that they are
the victims of unjust land and money
laws, and to comprehend the character
and operation of the legislation that is so
fatal to them. Those laws they will
have changed, or flght for their homes
and the products of their labor against
the persons who persist iu maintaining
and enforcing them. That they will
submit to be enslaved much more than
they now are is not probable.—Hugh O.
Pentecost in The Arena.
