CORRESPONDENCE.
Bi o. Ben Terrell's Tribute.
Edtiok Mercurt:—According to prom-
ise I will write you. I am more convinced
that the Alliance will be successful In tiie
accomplishment ol tlio objects for which it
vu organized tliau at any previous time.
The more I travel and learn to look upon
the order as u grand uulted body of intelli-
gent producers, the more I am enabled to
comprehend the mighty power within the
grasp of the people, a powor fraught with
good beyond measure to our whole coun-
try. We have but to reach forth and
It is oun. Will tno brothers be iound
equal to the taskf Let us see. We can
only judge the future by the past, aud
looking back over the past of the AUianco
I am proud to iind its course has ever been
onward and upward. All along the line
from Dakota to Texas the snow-white ban-
ner ol the Alliance floats, with Us grind
motto ol equal rights to all and special
privileges to none gleaming upon its folds.
This is and should bo the battle cry of the
order. Down with special privileges! No
class in free America! Lot all men ol every
calling stand upon equality one wiih the
other. This motto Í3 just and must stand
the test of timo. Not only has the order
advanced in number but it is fast educat-
ing the larmers to tee their condition and
the true causes of it all. This is the most
needed of all the great objects which the
order has in view, to educate the people,
the advance in this line is unprecedented.
Only a lew years ago and there were no
newspapers advocating tho grand thought"!
of the order, now you llud tnem in every
state; aud it sliould be a proud boast ol the
farmers that they rank in intelligence with
the first papers of tho country. Allow me
to remark right here that every member in
tho Alliance should take their stato organ*
and keop posted in the doings of the order.
If they will but do Ihií we will soon be
able to gather the breud the Alliance has
been casting upon the waters. Again, thin
organization of the people is being felt in
removing prejudices, both national and
sectional. In tills respect groat advance
has been made, probably moro thau any
other course. The AUianco in helping to
reunite the people of tho north and the
south u|>on principles of right and jiutice.
To show the great advance in that direc-
tion you will only have to look at ourmeet-
ing at Meridian, where tho delegates at the
Farmers .Mutual lieneflt Association ot the
norlh met us and agreed to unito in one
common brotherhood. They were from
the north, and it shows that tho prejudices
t tt'-havo so long blinded us are disappear-
ing before the giand teachings ol our no-
ble order. Again another evidence, wliee
the Texas delegates visited the north a est
ern Alliance at thoir national meeting in
DesMoineBund Iowa they wore met with tho
greatest of kindness and more thau one
uuton soldier declared that the dead and
putrid corpse of hate must be buried. Thai
it had pointed our people long enough. J
was a confederate soldier in Hood's old
brigade, and I never shall forgot their man-
lines whsn in an address I told them 1
could never forsrot or cease to love the great
men who fell in the lost cause and pio
posed to make the glory achieved by each
the common heritage of till, how they re-
sponded and received aud treated mo like u
brother; all prejudice was dissipated and
we were able to look into each others laces
once more as brothers of one common
country. Such is the fruit that the Alli-
ance is bearing and God grant it may go on
until we may know no north, no south, no
east, no west, but all be brothers of Amer-
ica. This grand body ol men altered their
constitution so as to meet with the Farmers
and Laborers Union on the 5Lh. of Decora-
ber, 18S!>, to unite with us and become one
body of brothers bound to each by all the
ties of our grand Alliance, Lot us then
take coarago and enlist for the war, and
lay down our arms until we carry the
grand principles of our order to success,
forget self, be patriotic, remember our ob-
ligations and ire must succeed. We have
nothing to fear but ourselves and 1 am
encouraged more every day. I have faith
in this Alliance, my whole boart Is in it,
I am willing to trust the poople, aud slake
all upon its success. 11 the leaders are but
true to themselves the peoplo will carry
them and themselves gloriously through
this struggle. 1 can only conclude by ask-
ing the. kiud Father of all to guide us and
keep us in the performance of our duty.

Tom Orson County Wants Information.
Editor Mkucuuy:—Sherwood Alliance
was organized more thau. a year ago, and
about the timo Dove Creole and South
Concho Alliances were organized. These
threo Alliances are all that have ever been
organized in Tom Green county, conse-
quently wo have never had a County Alli-
ance. Dove Creek and South Concho Alli-
ances have long since ceased to work, but
Sherwood Alliance still goes ahead. We
now have about tlfty members, We have
labored undor great disadvantages. In the
first place, we have not been able to secure
the services of an organizer to complete the
organization of our county. It seems that
all the business with the Exchange is done
through the County Alliances, aud having
no County Alliance we are cut off irom the
medium ot communication With the Ex
change. We have written repeatedly to
our district organizer and to officials of the
State Alliance for help or advice, but to
thts time we are helpless, and know not
what to do In this matter. Tom Green
county Is largo, thinly settled and not an
agricultural county except near the living
Btrenma where tho land can be irrigated.
Vi ool growing Is an industry that Is car-
ried on here extensively, and we have ro-
ceived into this Alliance a number of wool-
growers an members. Including this clas,,
of farmers with others, there ore settle-
ments enough In Tom Groen county to
make ten good organizations at as many
places. But we have failed so far, to get
them organized.
Sherwood Alliance is located at the beau-
tiful village of Sherwood, about five miles
from the head ot the good Spring Fork of
the Concho. This stream has a fall of from
twenty-eight to thirty feet to the mile, and
runs a volume of water sufficient to irri-
gate thousands of acres of the adjacent rich
prairie soil. There Is now about seven
hundred acres on this side the stream in a
high state of cultivation all within one and
a half miles of Sherwood.' The valley Is as
broad on the other side aad would be aa
•tally Irrigated. TUara la ataxia water
" A*
pow r here to run a vast amount of machín
ery and it can be utilized with very little
expense. Sherwood is also near the geo*
graphical eentcr of a prosperous new coun-
try, which we feel sure will bo cut oil from
Tom Green county by the present legis-
tature, if such division does take place
our difficulties as an Alliauce will be in-
creasod, since our now territory as a county
will not contain a population sufficiently
distributed to give us the chance of getting
as many as five Alliances, and henoe our
chanco for a County Alliance mast be in-
definitely postponed, unless we can secure
« dispensation or in some way bo granted
the privilege oí a County Alllanco without
the five Alliance necessary to constitute n
County Alliance. Wo would be glad to
have the advice of any competent official as
to what would be best for us.
lu conclusion, peremlt me to lay, our
village aud surrounding country Is fust
building and settling up, and we flatter our-
selves that we tiro getting a strictly first-
class citizenship. We have no saloon here.
Methodist, Baptist aud Cumberland Pres-
byterians have each a good organization
here. Besides the Sabbath school and the
usual secrct societies, there is a splendid
school of ono hundred and twenty-five
scholars undor efficient management. In
short, we have as much of the refinement of
civilized society as can be found iu all the
country. Enough has been done during
the last ten years to prove the lands along
these irrigating streams to bo adaptod to
the growth of every variety of field crops,
fruits and vegotables that can bo grown
anywhere In the same latitude and altitude.
The resources of our county huvo been dis-
covered, but they lire yet to be developed,
and they aro very great. Can't we have a
County Ailluncw ? Who will tell us how to
get it? W. Henry Whitk,
Lecturer.

Capital vs. Alliance Institutions
Bkllvim.k, Feb. 112, 1639,
There is nothing in the history of the
Fanners A'llanco that show# its material
prosperity more fully than the fight that
capital is making against its institutions at
this timo. I will cite an instance that came
under our observation recently in this
lown. A mercantile firm here having sus-
pended business turned over their romnant.
of stock ol about $2,000, to 1'. ,J. Willis &
Bro., Galveston creditors. Tbeir agents
sold stock to tho Farmers Alliance hero,
this created a panic with Mr. Willis' cus-
tomers. This lact coming to Mr. Willis's
knowledge ho takes advantage of defecl. in
sale to Ignore contract of his agent. Tho
(arming people are coming to the front,
God hasten the day when the profits of
their toil shall be their own. May tho
morning star of AUianco birth never grow
Icbb dim, but beam with ineffable lustro
until this people shall have obtained that
septal aud financial position to which they
•ire justly entitled.

A Boy'a Advice to Boya.
Editor Mercurt:—I have read some
very interesting ard instructive letters lu
the grand old Mercury, and I thought I
would write a few lines to the young men
of our country to acquire promptly and
thoroughly somo useful calling. Some pur-
suits are more lucrative, some more re-
spectable, some more agreeable, than
others; but a chimney-sweep is better than
nono at all. No matter how rich his pa-
ronts may be, a boy should learn a trade ;
no matter how poor he may be, a hoy may
learn some trade If he will. Our cities are
full to-day ol young and old men, starving
on tho account ot not knowing some trade
t) make thoir living. Young men, just stop
aud think about it. A trade Is an estate
and almost always a productive one. lie-
solve not to be a rover. A rolling stone
gathers no moss, but Is constantly thumped
and knocked and often shivered to pieces.
11 you aie honest and Industrious you
muHt be continually making a reputitlon,
which, If you remain In ono placo, helps
you along the road of loriuue. Uealizo tuat
he who earns five cents per day more than
he spends, must get rich, while ho who
spends five cents more than ho earns, must
bocome poor. This Is a very hackneyed
truth. Hundreds of thousands are uot
only poor, but wretched to-day, simply be-
causo they fail to comprehend, or will not
heed it, and they grumble at their hard
fortuue, forgetful that tliny wasted the
years und the means which might and
should have saved them from present aud
future poverty. All these are very trlto
homely truths. That to bo or not to be,
rests entirely with himself, and that his
very first lesson Is to distrust and shun by-
paths and short cuts, and keep straight
along the broad, obvious beaten highway.
Many youths are discouraged upon their
start in life. They have no means at their
command ; they do not feel themselves qual-
ified for mccbanlcal pursuits, fur all aro not
horn with the necessary qualifications in
them to be successful mechanics or have
no opportunity for learning a trado. Many
men try something lor a few days, and be-
cause they do not find their expectations
realized, they leave oil'and say, "Oh, that
won't do for me," or "There's nothing in
that," and so on. My frlonds, bear In
mind that all new studies and occupations
seem ardurous at first, and until you have
perfected yourself, you must not expcct a
brilliant success ; but persevere and give a
thorough trial, and many things that seemed
difficult will then prove easy.
1 am a farmers boy, I was raited on a
farm, and 1 know how to farm, besides, I
have learned several other trades, so when
1 am cot farming I can do something else.
1 work on the farm all day snd study at
night, but that is a slow way to learn, but
It is better than not at all. That was my
only way to learn, for I am a poor boy, but
I have learned several trades all the same,
and have hopes of better times. Success
to the grand old Mercury.

THIS IDLE.
nr junior lkmil.
They lounge about tho low cosspoo's.
On stagnant waters cost their oread,
Heap curses on the busy wise,
And almost wish themselves wer.' dead.
They love to own tho drowsy couch.
And long embrace tho rotten rose,
While ploddlug nature, unrestrained,
Above their eyes the darnel grows.
They blandly move atnki tho orowü,
Or gaze at strangers hurrying by.
Until at last their l'ate decrees
That they must either move or illo.
For, turning to its vaouem,
A vermin burrows In their brain.
And they with languid Mop must go
To those that have aud make complain.
A ery for food, a cry for clothes,
Mako up ihe beggars' childish moan;
lu base desire, a wild lament
That they must reap as they have sown.
But still the laws of justice hold
That he who toils alone will clliub;
Who plays must want; who works will have,
Though he must wait tho harvest time.
And I, that murmur at tho sloths,
Have never reaped tho golden grain,
But of their talents sure (lcoay
Essay to mako the lesson plain.
So lot me draw the curtain by,
Which scroeus the picture's mirror l'aoo.

An lmaso of their own disgraco.

Editor Mercury:—Our Alliance, No.
35'j, is taking six copies of Tiie Mercury.
in order to keep posted in the good wori
of our brothers. Wo pass the six copies t
each member if we can, and seeing nothing
in It from southeast Missouri 1 will droj
this squib.
Our Alliance, known as Independent Al
liancc, numbers above seventy, but not sl>
in good staudiug. We have just closed n
contract with a merchant to furulsh us
goods. Our first merchant failed to suppl*
us und wo dropped him. Some measures
are being taken for tho sale of wheat, but
yet unsettled. Perry aud St. Genevieve
counties joined in trade adding strength to
both. W. E. Dean.
Likes The Mercury.
Editor Mercury:—-Find enclosed ene
dollar to renew my subscription for Tint
Mercury for one more year. I don't see
how I could do without tho dear old Mer-
cury. 1 liked the way Bro. Hatcher of
Sabine parish, La., done up the credit sys
tem. Would It not bo a blessing if that
piece could he indellibly impressed on the
minds of the farmers? J think everyone
should cut that piece out and paste it in his
hat, so It would be as nesr the brain as pos-
sible. 1 am of the opinion that timos will
not get any better until the credit system
is abolished and fsrmers trado through the
Exchango,
I will close this by wishing the editor's
head u ay never grow whiter and Tije
Mercury may live to publish the obitua-
ries of oil the trusts lu tho world.

Poor farmer, if he gets five cents net profit

er's son scarcely over saw such a meal as
tho professor can set. No wonder the
the furmor's children go so illy clad and
uneducated. Poor devils, grow up and vote
for the professor, or the professor says, this
Includes men of all professions, except the
high profession of farming.
Now, brethren and sisters, that you may
know that Friendship Alliance is yet alive,
and if the editor publishes this It may give
me tho big-head, I'll tell you, owing to 111
