new force? I fail to believe that the
genius and energy that have developed
these new and tremendous forces will
fail to make them not the masters, but
the faithful servants of society.
The word statistics itself did not
exist until l749, whence we date the
beginning of new science on which
modern legislation must be based in
order to be permanent. The treatise
of Achen wall, the German philosopher
who originated the word, laid the
foundation of many of the greatest re-
forms ih modern legislation. Statistics
are State facts, facts for the considera-
tiOn OF statesmen, such as they may
not neglect with safety.
Is it not of more consequence to do
something for the farmer of the future
than fof the farmer to day
Political parties, like poets, are born,
not made.
Real political issues cannot be manu-
factured by the leaders of political
parties, and real ones cannot be evaded
by political parties.

A SOUTH CAROLINA BROTHERS
NEW YEAR REFLECTIONS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Who, oh who can
number the murdered hours, how
many unpardoned sins, how many
broken promises and vows, how many
falsehoods how many bitter oaths, how
many broken Sabbaths, how many
dlsobediencies to parents, how many
vain and idle thoughts, and thousands
of unsettled wrongs of different kinds
there are locked up in gone.by years
that will burst our race when the key
of the future shall unlock them all in
the resurrection morn2
New years bring new trials, diff
culties, losses and crosses, temptations;
and even death will rob this new year
of thousands of whom it can now
boast. There are those who are ex.
pecting to see many years come and
60, who will sleep beneath the green
sod before 1891.
Have we improved the past
What are we doing now
Shall we all meet in Heaven at last,
Or under Satan bow?
Years to come seem long but Ay
Swift as eagles in the sky;
Bat when they pass like summer showers,
They seem to us as but few hours.
May the Giver of all good help US
to improve each moment of this new
year, as it comes to us, as we shall all
wish in death we had done, and may
we all be elevated to higher plane in
the divine life.
Unlimited success to the grand and
high toned PROGRESSIVE FARMER and
May it always keep in the stream that
never runs dry.
Fraternslly,
G. B. W. DUNN.

POWER OF THE PEOPLE.

There is no danger in trusting the
people, and it is not question as to
whether they are Democrats, Republ-
cans, Knights of Labor, Greenbackers
or members of a Farmers Alliance.
When the politicians see that you
mean they shall perform their duties
honestly, they will break their necks
to get on your side. When Jumbo
has his leg tied to tree he is an OBJ
iect of sympathy. That is the way
these men look upon you men to-day.
They think they have you chained,
and they will continue to think so
until you love your family better than
your party cheersb and say better
than all parties-Gen. Jas. a. Weaver
before Farmers and knights, 81. Lousss.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-03-04

side, and the great ruler Of the uni.
verse will always help those that try
to help themselves, for the Bible has
plainly said ny the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou eat bread, and as this seems
to be general thing throughout this
entire State, | would suggest that we
buy less, talk less, stay at home more,
work more, and above all, lets quit,
henceforth and forever this everlasting
and eternal grumbling. Take things
as they come. We Southern people
make the times hard with us in vari-
Gus ways, and let US, as farmers,
present ourselves to the world as poll
ticians, claim that we are during q
campaign. The demsgogue tells Us
that we are the bone and sinew of the
land. If that be true, brethren of the
Alliance, let US be the bone and sinew
of the land not in mere name by him
who desires your votes, but in true
sense. One more suggestion and l
am through. Let us learn to raise
our own supplies; more hog and hom-
my, less cotton and other things that
we cannot use as food.
The Alliance in Northampton coun-
ty is alive and up to duty in some
things but others l fear are waiting
for some great revolution. The revo-
luton has come, and the year of 1889
will be a year long to be remembered
by all.
The County Commissioners held .
meeting recently for the purpose of
trying to help the needy. Their action
at this writing I have not learned.
This is my first attempt, and for
fear of the waste basket, l close.

So with National Banks as a foun
tain of currency; the more banks and
capital we have, the less money they
give us.
If the system is to continue, let the
law be amended SO as to compel the
issue of the notes allowed and to pre-
vent retiring except in small amounts
at stated intervals. The banks are no
longer necessary as q market for the
bonds of the government; if they are
continued in order to supply the peo
pie with a currency, they should be
compelled to do it or the States al
lowed to authorize it to be done
through State banks.
But when the government gives
from 1925 to $l29 for $1OO bond
on which it only allows the banks to
issue $50, and especially when it
loans banks $4,000, 900 or more per
anLum free of interest, is it not using
it's power to destroy the only means it
allows of increasing the currency

90,000,O00 bushels, is increased IN
10000, 900 bushels, or three times
the amount actually in store, it prob
ably would be an outside figure. for
the number of bushels that would be
required to warehouse at any one
time at least for the present. The
cost OF building good and sufficient
warehouses to store this amount of

would be but $40, 100000. The cot.
ton crop of 1889 is given at 6,938, ,29O
bales. The cost of building cotton
warehouses is estimated at ST.. per
bale storage capacity. If the whole
crop is taken into the calculation it
would amount to $6,938,29O, which
would build those for tobacco also.
If these figures are correct the entire
cost Of building the necessary ware
houses for sub-treasury purposes would
amount to only SAT, 500, 900 in round
numbers.
Certainly $50, 900, 900 would ware

and ikel y to demand storage at any
one period for some time to come. In.
this calculation the number of ware
houses is not considered, but the
whole amount to be stored is provided
for. The expense of the undertaking
cannot be urged, therefore, as an OBJ.
lection. There is to-day in the United
States treasury $25, 000, 900 of minor
coin, classed as unavailable assets, for
repayment of any government claims.
The National Economist will take this
sum and build half of these warehouses;
and use no other kind of money. The
mechanics of this country will not
stand on the size of the coins; it is the
amount that is doing the mischief.
The above is a fair statement of the
cost of the warehouses, and it is hoped
that the friends of the sub-treasury
plan will read it carOfully.-NationG
