THE VOTE.

We learn that the publication in
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER of the names
of the gentlemen who voted for Capt.
Alexander for United States Senator
in the caucus, gave offence to some of
those who did not vote for him. We
entirely fail to see how the publication
of these names should concern any but
the gentlemen themselves, or how it
possibly could do anyone injustice. If
anyone is offended because his name
could not appear in the list, he should
remember that it was his fault, not
ours. And if he feels aggrieved be-
cause we published the names, we
hereby tender to him ample space in
our columns next week to indicate
himself.
We have had at the head of the edi-
torial columns of this paper for
months, the announcement to our read
ers that we would publish all the votes
of Importance in the Legislature, in
which they were directly interested,
and as a faithful friend of the people
and as an honest journalist we intend
to do so "without fear, favor or affec-
ton" Public officers and legislators
must remember that they are public
servants and that their official acts are.
public property and the people have
the unquestioned right to know what
is their official record.

THAT LECTURE.

The AsheVaUe Citizen of the 22d inst,
in the most admirable temper proceeds
to read Senator Ransom a lecture on
his duties as one of the Representatives
of this old commonwealth. It tells him
that " for a great while he has been
silent in the Senate-silent when he
should have spoken-silent when his
great colleague was struggling like a
Titan with the enemies of the South"
1t tells him that the people expect him
to do "something more than secure
appropriations for rivers, creeks, light
houses, oyster surveys and the like
something more than merely casting
his vote on pending bills" 1t tells
him that the people expect him make
the Senate Halls ring with his elo-
quence-"to meet and match the me-
mics of the South Ito do battle for
her with all his power of argument "
that they expect "him to speak out
boldly, freely on the great questions
of the day." &C., &c.
We hope the Senator will not be dis
turbed by this good-natured joke Of
our genial and pleasant contemporary,
and that he will go along Gin the even
tenor of his way" for we think we can
safely assur him that the people do not
expect anything Of the kind ofhsm.

THE ADVANCE IN THE PRICE
OF FERTILIZERS.

Before the days of trusts, pools,
combines and monopolistic c~onspira-
cies, any %appreciable decline or advance
in the price of any of the leading COM
mercial articles was controlled ordi-
narily by the law of supply and de-
mand. But that day has passed. The
law of trade is now the dictum of the
money gamblers of the world, and it's
limit is defined only by the greed and
avarice of these men. 1t is not at all
unusual to be informed by telegraph
that a combination has just been COM
pleted among the monopolists by which
the price on some leading article, some
necessary of life and which is in uni.
versal demand, has been advanced SO
as to put in their pockets millions of
dollars. And this outrageous system
of robbery and plumber is growing
more greedy and more bold and
stronger every day. And yet Con
gress sits idly by, while the helpless
people are being flched. So if there
be an advance in the price of -four,
sugar, meat, coffee or any other article,
it is no evidence that it is scarcer,
neither is it evidence that the producer
gets any of the benefits of the advanced
price.
Recently, we have been informed
that the price of all manipulated fer
~tilizers is advanced from $3.50 to
$500 per ton. We have been unable
to trace the cause for this advance.
The only reason we have been enabled
to get is that the ingredients imported
from foreign countries are much
higher than last season. When we
ask why this should be, we get no an
swer. We know that trusts and rings

THE EMPTY SLEEVE AND THE
WOODEN LEG.
A Great State Love-Feast.

The gathering of the old veterans
in this city last week was an occasion
which will be long remembered
throughout the State. We greatly
regret that we cannot give a faithful
and full account of the proceedings of
their meetings, Of the many touch
ing and beautiful incidents that tran
spired, of their great meeting in
Commons Hall, the soul-stirring
speeches and the cordial welcome with
which the hearts and homes of our
citizens, male and female, great and
small, greeted them. Raleigh did her.
self great honor in thus honoring these
noble old heroes, and her only regret
is that she could not have done more
for their pleasure and happiness. 1t
was a sight to melt the most callous
heart when over one hundred and
fifty of these war-marked heroes
marched up Fayetteville street to the
Capitol to pay their respects to Gov
ernor Fowle. They most warmly
received by his Excellency, aided by
his Staff, State officers, his charming
daughters and several other ladies.
1t was a touching scene and the great
fountain of the heart was filled to the
brink. On Tuesday night a great
mass convention was held in Commons
Hall. The old veterans, escorted by
the Governors Guard and the Wake
County Survivors Association, headed
by a drum corps, marched in and took
seats that had been reserved for them.
The meeting was called to order by
l.. L.. Polk; Chairman of Committee
on Programme, who introduced Mr..
j. S. Carr, of Durham, who was chosen
by the veterans as their chairman.
Addresses were made by J. S. Carr,
Col. 7. G. Fuller, Gov. D. G. Fowle,
Capt. G. B. benson, Capt. W. H.
Kitchen, Mr.. G. B. Watson, Col. E. D
Hall, Gen. T. L.. Clingman, Col. w. H.
S. Burgwyna, Mr. I. l.. Polk, Col. B.
f. Beasley; and Senator W. II. Lucas.
The following resolutions were intro,
duced by Col. E.. D. Hall and unani-
mously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the committee of the
veteran soldiers Of North Carolina do
respectfully but most earnestly petition
the General Assembly of North Caro-
lima to add five per cent to the annual
tax levy for the purpose of adding to
and extending the pension list of dis
abled soldiers and the widows of dis
abled soldiers. =.
-Resolved further, That this conven-
ton take such steps as may be neces-
sary to organize a permanent associa-
of Veteran x-Confederate Soldiers of
North Carolina.
The hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity with ladies and gentlemen,
and almost as many we're turned away
for want of room.
"The Confederate Veterans Asso-
citation of North Carolina" was or
gained. President, J. S. Carr, of
Durham; Secretary and Treasurer, w.
G. Stronach, Raleigh.

AN OLD CAMPAIGN LIE.

A Railroad Commission is all the
talk, and Capt. S. B. Alexander is
spoken of as Chairman, but how can
that be, when las we are informed) he
is a large stockholder in one of those
(" accused corporations 2" But if this
be true, Capt. Alexander will hardly
think of accepting the position, if
tendered.-Ma1tOm Union.
Panoplied in the solid armor of
truth and honor and noble manhood,
Capt. Alexander, the sterling leader
of the Alliance in this State, can afford
to smile at the pueri1e efforts Of dema-
gogues to impair his strength with the
people. But it is only a part of the
desperate game that is deliberately
planned to keep him or any other
farmer from holding any position
higher than that of a legislator"
When his name was before the people
as a candidate for Governor, it was
charged that he favored the imme-
diate abolition of the homestead" that
he was the father Of the stock law"
that he twas a fanatical prohibition
list" that he " killed the Railroad Com
mission bill in the last Legislature"
that he vas a " large stakeholder in a
railroad" These falsehoods had the
desired effect and defeated him.
When his name was presented for the
u. S. Senate these ISLANDERS were
again repeated and it was thought a
proper thing to strengthen them by
adding that he is a nabob, rides out
every day in liveried style, is Presi-
dent of a bank and don't notice COM
mon people,"
Now some politician who is pro-
foundry concerned, lest the name OF
Capt. Alexander should be put on the
Railroad Commission, comes forward
with this old campaign falsehood, that
/" be is a large stakeholder IN one OF
the railroads" This is one of the
Offices, which "by Divine right" be-
longs only and exclusively to the fvOred
fen in North Carolina; hence Capt.
Alexander must not be placed or the
Commission. But there is a deeper
significance In this covert Attack as
intended to impair the confidence Of the
Alliance men an their President. But,
"Cease viper, you knaw a fle."
W. are authorized to brand the re-
port as an unqualified falsehood. The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER does not know
whether he would accept the position
if rendered him, but it does know that
he is in every sense worthy of this or
any other position for which his name
has been mentioned.

G. N. Stafford, of Clover Orchard
Alliance, Allamance county, which
was organized the Goth day of last
December, says in a letter to the
editor: "Six months ago, in this

fearing it would prove a dangerous
movement, but to-day it is very. differ
