energetic, working agents, in each

house to house, and especially among
the members of our order and show
them the book. It's price is only
$2.25I .
It is endorsed by the leading men
OF these great orders, and is just what
is claimed for it. No farmer, no
wealth-producer, no business man, no
patriot, no voter can afford to be
without it. Every Alliance man in
America should buy it, read it and
study it. If we would correct the
great ev Is and wrongs that r crush
ing the energies and spirit OF the
people, we must understand them and
10 dc. this we must inform ourselves.
This can be done in no way SO readi-
Iy, so correctly and so cheaply, as by
reading our U literature. To those
desiring to act as agents: Write us at
once, giving your full address and
send us the endorsement of the
officers of your Subordinate and
County Alliance, al to character and
fitness. DO not qOrate u a0athout such
endorsement. We will send full infor-
nation to all such applicants with

may have the advantage of the winter
months in your work.

any address within these three States
for 1925, the regular retail price OF
the book.
We will send a copy of the book
to any one who will send us a club of
twenty-five new subscribers to the
PROGRESSIVE FARMER and twenty, five
dollars.
The sales of the book have aston
ished the author and publisher. 1t is
just the thing that the farmers need
and they bug 1t.

President McCracken, Capt. S. B.
Alexander and other leading men en-
dorse it in the highest terms. 1t is
the work of Is years of hard labor
on the part of Bro. Morgan and is

BERTHE Co., N. c., Nov. %, '89.
Mr.. E%DIToR:--It has been only a
short time since [ have been taking
your most honored paper, and I now
see the great injustice that l have
done myself by not subscribing for it
sooner. If / should live, it will be a
welcome visitor at my house many
days yet to come. Since I've been
perusing its interesting columns, l
have read many pleasant and encourag-
ing letters from the different Alliances
throughout this grand old State, but
not one word have / seen from our
Alliance or its near sisters. Do not
think, sir, that we are not doing any
thing simply because we do not bother
you every mail with some article or
another. We are all poor, hard-work-
ing farmers, yet we ale as true to our
order as true "a be. Once In awhile,
but very seldom, we have an unruly
member, and we are as true for him
as we are for anything else. We are
not at all scarry, but resolute and de-
termined. When our enemies threaten
us we grit our teeth, clinch our fists
and say We are ready and we defy
opposition. If any one doubts my
statements, call and see US; our regu-
lar meeting is l o'clock Wednesday
evening before the second Sunday in
each month. We also meet every
Thursday night at 7 p. M, during the
fall and winter seasons, to keep posted
on cotton and other business. We
have not only fought the jute bagging
trust with u tongues, but by our &C.
tions in buying coffee bags or anything
we could get except jute bagging, and
we will not even use jute for a saddle
blanket.
We Are working our business Agent
more now than ever before, and next
year we expect to work him all the
time.
My letter is growing very fast, but
can't stop without saying something
for the Alliance. / believe it to be
the best thing ever gotten up by man.
The Christian Church is its only supe-
rior. It's motives, plans and workings
are SO pure that no one but monopoly,
combine or their allies can object to it.
1t is one of the greatest Iove-making
powers in the world. i
Our Alliance of so members all
seem to be of the same household.
When l read in your paper of the
other Alliances, it causes me to love
those | have never seen. 1t is really
a shame for any farmer to allow an
Alliance to be in his neighborhood
and see his brother farmers struggling
Tor SO great q cause and he not ioin
them in their grand work. Nav God

Socialism in the Schools.

One of the issues advocated in the
last st. Louis school election by the
opponents of the Board then elected
was the free distr ibution Of boobs. We
pointed out then that concessions to
such a demand meant the establish
ment of the schools on socIalistic
basis, free books logical leading to
free school clothing and food. The ad-
vocates of free books denied that this
was logically implication of their de-
mand, but the question hae been rails
ed ia Chicago and the free books party
thsre has been logical enough to re-
solve in preparing their platform that
1t is the duty of the city government to
supply free of charge school books, plain but
decent, warm, comfortable clothing to all
children whose parents are unable to sup
PLY them with the same, and that one good,
warm square meal be supplied each day to
all the school children IN the city.

Quay's Invention.

Senator Quay, the great chief Of the
Republican organization, has produced
an invention which will knock out all
civil service reform rules. evade all
laws against the assessment of office
holders, and provide never falling
revenue which the committe can ap-
ply to local elections for members of
Congress or State officers, in the .'off
years" as we'll as at other times, and
thus place the party management and
the politics of the country under q
strong centralized control.
The invention is an innocent looking
and handsomely engraved receipt cer-
tifying that Blank has contributed SO
to the Republican National Commit
tees reserve fund and promises to con-
tribute similar amount on the 1st of
September every year. The promise
to pay is on eorrespondingly num-
bered stub retained by the committee,
TO be held over the bead of every Re-
publican office-holder or aspirant for
any office in the Union. When large
and constant revenue shall have been
assured by the placing of these ten
dollar receipt notes in the hands of
half million or more aspirants OF the
common sort, the committee will be in
a condition to manipulate nominations
and elections everywhere to its own
It will also be in condi-
ton to vary the denominations OF the

when their father cannot alothe them
il must clothe them itself, does not ap-
ply in Missouri, though in endeavoring
to suppress the parochal schools the
Republican Legislature of Illiuois has
given Illinois advocates of Socialism
that advantage in argument.
Nevertheless in Illinois and every
where else every encroachnent of
of Socialism in the schools should be
resisted. If the State should supply
books, the argument justifying such
action on its part applies even moie
strongly to free clothing and food; for
though child can go to school with
out books it cannot possibly go if it is
naked and starved. The immediate
result of the application of the socialis-
tic principle to our schools would be
their degradation to the level of the
charity schools of other countries.-Re-

All for Protection.

President Diaz of Mexico has Just
issued tariff degree, to take effect
Nov. l, the duties being so high as to
practically stop all importation of cat
tie and hogs from the United States
into Mexico. 1t is believed to be in
retaliation for Secretary Wiudom's
rulings on the silver ore question
which paralyzed silver mining in Mex
leo. The willingness and anxiety Of
the republican party to serve the
by fair minded men and it is now SO
apparent that even many partisan re-
publicans no longer deny the truth Of
the indictment. Mexico has been
forced to adept retaliatory measures in
many instances, and all because some
gluttonous corporation in the Uni ted
States demanded protection from hon.
est competition, which the republican
party is ever ready to grant. A few
years ago Mexican dollars were scat
tered all over the western and southern
parts of the United States, and they
readily passed for 100 cents in United
States money. After u sufficient
quantity had been scattered over the
country it was suddenly discovered
that a Mexican dollar was only worth
about 20 cenis. There never was any
good reason for such an infamous
ukase. because Mexican dollar con-
tains just as much silver as dollar of
the United States. This is only one of
many schemes involving trade with
Mexico in which republican adminis-
tration has figured most disgracefuily.

TAXATION A CRIME.

I say deliberately, and weighing
we'll my words, that our present system
of taxation is q crime committed
against the great mass of the people.
l do not refer to the fact that it tempts
the property holder to deceit, SO that
the tax returns are covered all over
with perjury, and the liar escapes his
share of taxation, while the honest
man bears the full burden. I do not
refer to its stimulation of bribery, nor
to the fact that its complication calls
for an unnecessary number of officials
and causes needless expense to the
people. 1 deliberately brand the sys-
tenn itself, as system of robbery.
1t is true that the people have not
yet learned to see it in that light. The
system has been received aa legacy
from monarchical England, and ac-
cepted without thought. This article
may convince no one, but if the people
can only be set to thinking they will
convince themselves in a very short
time.
You ask: "Is it not necessary that
government be supported, and Is not
taxation simply a means of raising the
necessary revenus?"
Certainly. And may stand on some
dark corner witt. a revolver in my
hand and levy on the passers by for
my living. 1t is right that l should
have my living, but there is right
way to get it, and q wrong way to get
it. So it is with governmental reve-
nues.
An intelligent man said to me: 1.-The
poor man pays little tax anyhow"
The argument deduced from that is
that since the mass of the people are
