Book Description

Excerpt from Proceedings of the North Carolina Farmers' State Alliance: Third Annual Session, August 14, 15 and 16, 1889 The State Business Agency has not proved the success we anticipated, and I urge you to to give this department everything you can to make it what it ought to be. It is the right arm of the Alliance, and if you do nothing else at this meeting but perfect this deparment, you will deserve well of the Alliance. Its failure to do what is expected of it creates a desire for cooperative stores. This is to be regretted, for co-operative stores have no place in the plan of the Alliance. The Al liance was brought into existence to protect the agricultural and laboring classes against monopolies - not to make merchants - and its agency System is the only one I have ever seen that suits the present 'condition of the farmers and laborers of our country. Let us keep it within its sphere and not form entangling alliances that will effect our credit and weaken our order.
