AN ISSUE WANTED.

| The New York San insists that between

cratic party can not 60 into the election three
years hence as the champion Of the free-trade

parties discovered that little civil service
reform may be good thing to mix with the
old spols theory. But the issue is false
one anyway. There is not much enthu-
siasm in it even in It's most concentrated form.
1t has touch OF monarchical favoritism in
it that renders it distasteful to the American
people. Holding. an Office is one of the glo-
rious privileges Of American citizenship and
under full hedged civil service reform the
chances of an Office are reduced to a mini.
mum. An issue is sadly wanted, but one
does not rise at command. 1t is possible,
however that the present Administration will
furnish an issue before the time comes to
nominate its successor. There are two or
three smouldering issues which may be fannfd
into sufficient life for one campaign. We are
put upon the edge of European complica-
tons that may become prominent during the
next three years. The question may be
raised If we shall 60 to war 10 hold certain
outposts in state Of independence or shall
con6ne the Monroe doctrine to more narrow
limits. There are Cuba, Hayti, the Hawai-

kind of men next time. T~hree-fourtns
of the people of this country are
treated by their government as slaves
and worse. Their interest and better
ment are never thought~o of by the
men we vote for; they work In the
interest of their money masters and
ignore the people. The people have
learned this and they are going to
ignore the Congressman and send men
to Congress who will work for their
interest and whom the people a trust.
| think it would be a good plan Tor
the government to issue money or
bonds to the amount of all the mort
cages on land and take up all the
mortgages on land and pay for them
in money or bonds and then let the
government hold these mortgages Tor
from l, 10, Is to 20 years and give
the owners of this land a chance to
redeem it at 8 or 4 per cent. interest.
This would put money n circulation
and give the people who are bound
to lose their homes a chance to re-
deem them and relieve them from
the clutches of the mortgages and big
per cent. The government could lose
nothing by this plan, and it would be
satisfactory to all parties except the
money kings and robbers. If this is
a goveI nment by the people and for
the people and the people say this is
the thing to do, who can object? Let
the people work and vote for their in
terest in the future.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

TAYLOR, N. c., Nov. 26, 1889.
Mr.. EDIToR:-We hope to send
more to the State fund in a few days
as we have a special meeting called
for that purpose. The farmers have
often talked of bad crops and the
trader made fun of his cry of poor
crops, but this time all hands learned
that the crops are really the worst

a not pay for the guano they used
this year. They can not pay their
store accounts. They have not made
corn enough for another year and the
chances of hundreds for getting it on
time next year are gloomy. The hogs
r dying by hundreds, some of my
neighbors have killed in order to save
them. Very little meat will be put
up in this county this year.
These are some of the facts, but the
half is not told. The truth is, there
is no money here among the people.
The trader controls what little there
is in the country. If there should be
an election here now, l don't think
that any member of Congress who
has been to Congress for the last ten
years would stand the least shadow
of chance to be elected.
1t is a shame and disgrace to our
members of Congress that this terrible
condition of finance should have over,
taken our people, while they have not
so much as warned the people of the
awful condition. All this has been
brought about by laws passed by our
Congressman. Who would vote for
such men again? We should have

MIDDLE CREEK ALLIANCE, No. 207,

Mr.. EDIToR:-I thought l would
send you a!:few dots for publication, if
you will give them space.
Our Alliance is getting on finely
with a membership of one hundred,
forty-eight males and ffty-fve females,
and nearly every meeting there are
some applications for membership.
Our meetings are generally well at
tended.
On the 18th inst. our Bro. S. G..
Wilborn happened to the sad misfor.
tune of having his barn and crib and
their contents swept away by fire, and
ut our last meeting his condition was
stated before the Alliance and every
brother present gave something to
help our unfortunate brother, and we
earnestly request the Secretary of
each Alliance in North Carolina to
lay this matter before their Alliances
at the next meeting and ask the
brethren for a small contribution
for our unfortunate brother. Any
contribution you may send us, how
ever small it may be, will be thank
fully received and duly appreciated.
Send your contributions to R, A.
Wood, Ballentine's Mills, Wake Co.,

handed to Bro. Wilborn.

A correspondence.

CHARLorTE, N. c., Nov. 80, 1889.
Mecklenburg county has long been
noted as the best farming county in
North Carolina. Cotton grow to as
near perfection as anywhere IN the
State, and corr and wheat grows as
well here as in Rowan or Catawba.
Clover does well here also. Stock
raising has been a success, too. Neck
lenburg farmers are complaining
about short cotton yield, but without
doubt the crop has been injured less
than that of any county in this sec
ton. On many farms the yiled has
been nearly a bale per acre. This is
an average crop and only on farms
nea large streams of water will the
crop fall far below the average. Neck
lenburg is pretty thoroughly organ
lied and prosperous. Bro. Neal,
cotton buyer and Business Agent, has
started an exchange which will be q
success. He buys produce and
handles supplies. Mecklenburg con-
tains many thrifty farmers, some OF
them rich. They have good dwell
ings, stock and vehicles.
Mecklenburg farmers have a city
that they can afford to be proud of.
One of the great drawbacks in our
State is a lack of manufacturing con
Germs. The citizens of Charlotte fully
understand this and are doing a grand
work for their beautiful city, andsthe
farmers around are mutually interest
ed. Charlotte has two great iron
foundries turning out engines, cotton
presses, saw mills, grist mills, etc.
The c~easeless hum and roar of four
great cotton mills in the city limits
and II or Is within a radius of 80
miles adds much to the great indus
trial development of this section. A
$loo, 900 furniture factory turning out
all grades of furniture, at present two
months behind orders, is something
for Charlotte and Mecklenburg county
to boast about. Besides all of these
Charlotte has a spoke and handle
factory doing a large business, a mill
grinding 500 bushels of grain per day;
two large cotton seed oil mills, oil re-
fnery, clothing factory and dozens
of smaller industries. Charlotte has
6 miles of street railway, $50, 900 wa
ter-works, q square paved with Bel
gian blocks, is spending $1oo,ooo in
street improvement, has lately doubled
her lighting capacity. All of these
things tend to improve the condition
of the farmers in this and adjoining
counties. May other cities fellow
suit.

on the 18th to see what / could do

scribers to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Some good stock was on exhibition,

Mathews, Stouts and Monroe are

is nearly a failure down in Arson and

THE FARMER
The Backbone Of the Country !

1t is a conceded fact In the minds of every bust
ness man that the commercial status of every com
munity Is greatly dependent on the farmers of our
country In fact, so much so that should i'll fortune
visit the fields OF our never ceasing toilers, then the
merchants of our city would be forced to retreat.
Therefore, let us as business men aid and shield the
@the farmers whom I consider the backbone of
every community, from every impediment that is
likely to retard their progress.
Mr.. L. c. Bagwell, having removed his stock Of
Caskets, Collins, Burial Robes and everything In
the Undertaking line, to the corner of East Martin
and South Blount Sts:, is fully prepared to accom-
nodate everybody, both in the city and elsewhere,
action. The most careful attention given to all
orders at day or night.
We heartily recommend Mr.. Bagwell as q Young

hing In the Undertaker's line, visit his place Of
business, corner OF (. Martin and South Blount Sts..
