SOUTHERN MERCUBY.
THE DIFFERENCE.
Yes, there is a difference between
the Great American Freeman who
works for wages and the chattel slave
of long ago.
The master had to feed, clothe and
care for the slave whether he had work
or not. They don't have to do that
with the wage slave.
The master had to hunt up slaves
and buy them. The wage-slaves hunt
up a master and offer tnemselves for a
bare existence.
f The black slave was put up to the
y highest bidder. The wage-slave put
himself up and begs his master for the
privilege of work.
The black slave never had any fear
of want. The wage slave lives in con-
tinued dread of it.
The slave had a permanent job at a
certain price. The wage-slave never
has a permanent job and at no fixe
pay.
The black slave was seldom over-
worked to his injury. The wage-slave
is habitually worked to the uttermost,
regardless of health.
The black slave was never forced to
imperil his life in battle—the masters
did the fighting. The wage-slave is
hired to go out and get shot when the
employers have a difficulty.
Yes, there is a difference, but alto-
gether in the favor of chattel slavery.
Great, Free Americans? Well, just
a few!—Cominsr Nation.
Beats the world—the impecunious
tramp.
TO THE FARMERS.
Dallas, Texas, May 17,1894.
Southern Mercury, City:
Gentlemen:— Please say to your
readers that we make a specialty of
complete ginning outfits. We really
feel that we need no introduction to the
ginners ofTexas, or of the South. We,
as well as our machinery, are well
known. While we have been manufac-
turing cotton gin machinery for only
about ten years, yet in that time
we have established |a record of
which we think we may feel just-
ly proud. From a small begin-
ning our business has grown from
the fact of meritorious machinery un-
til for the last three years we have sold
more machinery than any concern
in our line in the United States,
We hold the original and pioneer pat-
ents of the late improvements in gin
machinery, hence purchasers of us run
no risk of infringement suits. We have
manufactured twenty times as many
complete, or "system" ginning outfits
as any other manufacturer. We have
sold more large ginneries from six to
twelve stands than all manufacturers
cembined. We haye more gold med-
als and first diplomas taken in the last
eight years than all the manufacturers
combined. We have taken every gold
medal offered at every fair, North or
South, for the past eight years on com-
plete outfits, including the year 1893.
The fact is, we lead, others follow. The
greatest ambition of our competitors is
to get something thai will equal ours.
For convenience to the trade we
have two factories, one at Dallas,Texas,
and one at Birmingham, Alabama. By
this means we are able to say that we
are almost at the very doors of our cus-
tomers, and in case of accidents or
break downs of any kind, extras or re-
pairs can be had on short notice, or
without waiting for them to come irom
distant states.
When in need of anything in our
line, we shall be much pleased to quote
prices.
With grateful acknowledgements for
the liberal patronage extended us, and
hoping to be favored with a continu-
ance of same, we are,
Yours very truly,
Munger Improved Cotton Ma
chine Mfg. Co., Dallas, Texas.

Home Life Insurance Co
—AND—
Farmers Alliance of Tens.
In 1889 the question of Life Insur-
ance was brought up and discussed at
the annual meeting of the Farmers
State Alliance of Texas, and the fol-
lowing resolution was presented by the
committee:
Dallas, Texas, January 11, 1889.
We, the undersigned committee, recognizing
the importance of Life Insurance, and having
examined the Home Life Insurance Company,
of Brooklyn, New York, and believing sala
company to he strictly reliable, do hereby re-
commend said company to the brotherhood
throughout the state. The committee la con-
strained to make this statement to the brethren
in view of the fact that the question of Life In-
surance has from time to time been brought
before the State Alliance, and no definite ac-
tion has yet been taken by that body.
T. M. SMITH
B. J. KENDRICK,
D. M. CUNNINGHAM
. P. ROGERS.
This resolution was referred to the
Insurance Committee for report at the
next annual meeting, to be held in Au-
gust, 1890, at which time the Insurance
committee presented the following re-
port, which was unanimously adopted:
To President State Farmers Alliance:
After careful investigation we
find there are several good old
line life insurance companies in
which it would be safe to insure,
but especially do we recommend
to the Farmers State Alliance of
Texas, the Home Life Insurance
Company, of New York. For its
strong finanoial standing and lib-
eral treatment to its policy-holders
we believe it to be the best com-
pany for our brethren to insure in
for their protection.
Bespecttully submitted,
T. M. Smith, Chairman.
