THE COMBINE STILL LIVES.

The Southern T06accontst says:
"Lynchburg reports that the Bonsack
Company has made no contract with
the syndicate, etc." This is the COM
pany owning the patent and manufac-
turing the cigarette machine. The
cigarette manufacturers deny that a
trust has been formed.
There is little doubt that an attempt
was made to form such a trust, but
for some unknown reasons it appears
to have fallen through.
What is known as the "cutter com.
bine," however, still holds. Each
manufacturer has his particular and
exclusive market on which to make
his purchases, and there being no one
to modest him or make him afraid, he
fixes whatever price on this grade Of
tobacco his sweet will dictates.
How long this state of affairs will
last remains to be seen. Such a strong
organization as the Farmers Alliance
will not and ought not to tamely sub
NIT to be imposed upon in this shame
less manner.-Oaford Day.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-03-18
WE WANT THE PEOPLE TO
GOVERN.

Who don't? Corporations and
monopolles do not, For it is getting
so they want to do the ruling them,
selves. Because their own especial
interests demand it. And for this
they will bend every energy and com.
bine every influence in their power.
And then again, we fear some of
our legislators are bent in the same
direction. The Senate, itself, is a
conservative body and seems to grow
into an ~aristocratic element of legisla-
tive power with a strong penchant to
overreach its powers as originally con.
stituted. It wants to be considered
the ruler rather than servant of the
people. And so it acts independently
of the peoples will. This ought not
to be. 1t must not be.
The voice of the people must be
heard in the Senate as we'll as in the
House. To this end, press and people
should speak out, and in no unmean-
ing voice, iterating and ~reiterating the
fundamental principle of the govern.
ment.
Let the people rule. 1t is the SEN
ment of the constitution. It is the
voice of God. 1t is the tendency of
power to augment itself. This should
be resisted at every step. We should
not wait until the chain is about our
necks, but begin at the first step.
Then we will save ourselves and then
we will save the State.
Just now the demand is for more
money. The people who are suffering
from the scarcity are waking up to a
full realization of their needs in this
respect. Will the banking corpora
tions and the men of stocks and
bonds be willing to lend a hand ?
Will Congress act in such q way as
to u a full supply to be placed
within their reach ? 1t has the power
and the legal authority. Let it hear,
listen and act. The time has come
for action, when something must be
done.
Wake up, O people and pour your
petitions in. Speak out in strong,
bold words that will declare your will
in no uncertain tones.-Nataonal VleD.

DRILLING OATS.

Experience is against the use of the
drill in seeding oats. AS the drill was
developed earlier than the broadcast
seeder, there were better reasons for
drilling oats then than there are now.
Broadcast seeders do the work so well,
and can be had at such moderate
prices, that it is unnecessary to drill
the grain to have it evenly distributed,
even in windy weather. Harrows
have been so much improved that
broadcasted grain may be nicely Gov
cred on any ground properly prepared.
The drills are very useful for fall
wheat, as the snow is better held over
the plants, and the ridges crumble
down on the roots heaved out by
frost. But, manifestly, these benefits
cannot accrue to oats. Oats require
all the. moisture they al get, and all
the root,shading the plant will give,
during the lat err two thirds Of their
period of growth; and moisture is
better retained in the soil, and the
roots are better shaded, when the
plants stand at comparatively uniform
distances, and the surface is made
level, than when the plants are placed
in drills, and the surface is thrown up
into ridges. To use the drill satisfac-
torily, the ground must be put in good
condition; and this probably explains
why there is frequently a better yield
from drilling. We do not know of a
case where broadcasting and drilling
oats were tested side by side for sew
eral years, that the broadcasting did
not give the better aggregate return.
The farmer is not advised never to
drill oats; but it would certainly be
best to make the trial on a limited
scale for three or four years, at least,
until the superiority Of drilling is
proven.-Ameracam AgrlculturiSt for
March.

object of paramount Importance, for
upon it rests the serenity of our gov
ernment; and in what, let me ask,
does the perfection of civil liberty
consist, not in allowing the millionaires,
combines, monopolists and trusts 20 do
as they please and rule our govern
ment regardless of the consequences.
Certainly not, but rather in abridging
the privileges of a few individuals
whenever it becomes necessary to do
so in order to promote the general
prosperity of the whole nation. Well,
to enjoy this liberty, our Ignorant
farmers must be educated, not a few
of them merely, but the whole people.
This truth might be illustrated by
references to the history of nations
and the prosperity of different States
and of the anne State at different
periods in her history. If we would
know and enjoy our rights and priv
leges as citizeus of an independent
nation we must develop our intellect
ual resources, and if we would per
petuate the blessings of a free govern
ment we must be educated; if so, then
we may hope that this glorious insti-
tuition will never be abandoned or be-
trayed by the weakness Of it's friends
or the powers of its adversaries. 1t
can scarcely be abandoned or betrayed
while it's members remain free and
her representa- ives r true to their
trust. [ would like to say that the writ
ings of our esteemed correspondent,
cold Fogy," is an unbounded history
in itself and will fully remunerate any
reader of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
for all that he has to pay for the pa
per. 1 wish every farmer would take

AFEW WELL PUT SENTENCES.

At a farmers meeting at POUCH.
keepsie, N. Y, Mr.. N. G.. Spaulding,
Secretary of the Farmers Alliance,
said:
when I received word from Pres
ident Knapp to be heard today, I felt
like a man who is about to have the
grippe. My good wife urged me to
take care of my health and I was
about to heed her advice, but l took
from my pocket a card and read: I,
N. G. Spaulding, am a member of the
New York State Farmers Alliance
and l hereby affirm, that 1 will do all
in my power, by vote and influence,
to secure the passage of an equal tax
law, and such other laws as may meet
the approval of said Alliance. TAP
plause. And fellow farmers, l am
here" when the farmer feels that
his neighbours prosperity means his
prosperity to the extent of combined
effort for the public veal, then will
he be apower in the State. You may
talk of economy and higher farming
all your lives but until you shall reach
the legislature and demand and obtain
your rights, you will be ever poor.
There are 1900, 900 farmers in this
country that have no protection.
There are 2, 800, 900 manufacturers to
whom the government extends its
protecting hand and the result is a 40
per cent. profit on their business in
vestment while a farmer cannot dream
of 3 per cent. We want a tax law
that will place the tax on our indebt,
edness where it belongs-on the mort
gage. The farmer who owns $40, 600
in land ought to be as well able to
enjoy his wealth as a man with $lO,-
600 worth of anything else. Such a
farmer ought not to be the humble
hay-seed of to-day but the country
gentleman of 80 years agO."-O. c.

The horse will be all the better for
working his way through the winter.
The man that knows the right use
of a. horse blanket is a f~rst-class horse
man.
Too many horses eat up, during the
winter, all they have earned during
the summer.
The horsa blanket saves feed and
fesh-less substance is used to make
animal heas.
Keeping matches in any other re-
ceptacle than an iron or tin box is
tempting Providence.
Some people think a farm animal
is like a postage stamp-no good until
licked. They r sadly mistaken.
The farm horse, having only light
labor, and not much of that, during
the winter, should have less grain and
more roughness than during the sum-
mer.
The man that puts iron bits in his
horses mouths In very cold weather,
without first warming the bits, has
altogether too much of the savage in
his composition.-AmerGcan Agrlcul-
turGst for March.
Do not keep the hens waiting for
their food, but feed them as early as
possible. The nights r long, and
the days short, which puts quite a
period between the last and first meals;
hence, the hens will be very hungry
when they come off the roosts. The
morning meal, in winter, should be
warm, and if the weather is cold, the
drinking water should be slightly
warmed, also.-American A~grtcuHurlSt

That was ten years ago. AS 1 rode
up to his house the other day the sign,
all cracked and warped and weather
beaten, attracted my attention. The
man who put it up was sitting On the
veranda, contemplating it with eyes
expressive of deep sadness. l ap,
preached and asked him the meaning
of the sign. "It's plain enough" he
said. "This lands for SALE" Cant
you read 2" [ told him yes, but that
the ancient appearance of the sign
made it appear somewhat obscure
and out of date. Well" said he,
"ten years ago they told me this
land was worth that money. l be.
lieved it then, and | believe it now.
I've got poor on the belief, but I'm
going to hang to it still"
"They started a boom here, but
one O. these minnerlogogists killed it
by saying the land wasn't worth any
thing, and then all the moneyed fell
lers went away. But [ know that
there's money in it, and I'm holdin' it
at sixty dollars a front foot still. If
they want it at that price they can
have it; if not, it can stay where it
is"
1t is reasonable to suppose that it
will stay just where it is. But, what
would I not give for the faith of that
man! His faith is worth sixty dollars
a front foot, if his land isn't.-F L.

A BOOM THAT DID NOT BOOM

Booms are good things, but some
times it is positive boom, comparative
doomed, sup~erlative bust l met a
man the other day who was the vic
tim of a boom. About ten years ago
he thought he had discovered a gold
mine on his farm. Others thought
so, too. A wealthy prOspector offered
hin a fabulous sum for the land. His
friends advised him to refuse it. He
did so. They told him it was worth
sixty dollars "a front foot, way out
into the woods. He believed it, and
so he nailed up a sign:

Jacksboro (Texas) Sentinel: The
farmers of this country are destined
to play a more important part in its
politics and in the enactment of its
laws than ever in the past. The reason
is not because farmers are anxious to
become politicians, or that they desire
public life more than the quiet enjoy
ments of the farm; it is because they
will be obliged to take these positions
for their own protection and their
country's safety.
Organization, unity Of action, and
continuity of purpose, on the part of
the farmers of this country will in the
end unite all sections, enrich all com
munities, and place every citizen equal
before just laws, Intelligence to or
ganize, fellow-feeling enough to unite,
and manhood sufficient to stand firm
are the necessary requirements to
bring this aboUt.-EGchGnge.

ton, Ia.) The mortgage Indebtedness
of the western country is frightful. 1t
hustles u most industrious men to
pay taxes and interest. Then in the
name of God how a they ever ex-
pee, to pay the principal of their
mortgages2 They can't do it, unless
the government comes to the rescue
and loans the people the money. A
large portion of our western farms
will change hands in the near future,
and our farmers will become tenants
on the very farms they cleared out Of
the wilderness in the years gone by.
Such a fearful condition of affairs is
enough to cause men to pause and
think. Those who are not hide bound
party slaves are thinking about it.
The Butler (Mo.) Local News: Don't
be a political dupe-don't be a clam.
If you are a farmer, your duty lies in
cooperation with your brother farm
ers in a movement to demand Justice
done you. With Congressman to
misrepresent you in the legislative
halls of Congress, your condition daily
becomes more and more nearly to bed
rock. That is where the money kings
said you must come, and these men
well, what have they done to relieve
you What do you expect them to
do for you? The sooner you adjust
yourself to the situation and determine
to work hand over hand with your
neighbors, whose interests are identi-
cal with yours, and help them to fight
your battles, the sooner you will com
mand their respect.
The Peoples Signal Martin, Texas):
For a number of years past railroad,
mining and other corporations have
been importing into this country ship
load after ship-load of foreign pauper
laborers to compete with the honest
American laborer, by deceiving them
as to the absolute value of labor in
this country as compared with other
commodities, and now when they find
that they cannot sustain themselves in
the mining districts of PENNSYLVANIA
and demand a fair remuneration for
their labor, bands of Pinkerton detec-
tives, armed with Winchesters, have
been ordered to evict them from their
miserable little shanties. Is this a
free country when private corporations
can maintain and control a standing
army to do their bidding? How long
will it be before our English lords
will turn their mercenary Hessians
loose upon our tenant farms? Stop
and think.

MARION HARLAND'S APPEAL TO
THE WOMEN OF AMERICA.

Marion Harland, the friend and
helper of women everywhere, has
taken up the work of restoring the
ruined monument marking the burial
place of Mary, the mother Of Wash
ington. She says truly-in her ap-
peal to the mothers and daughters Of
America to erect a fitting monument
to her who gave our country a father
that "the sun shines upon no sad
der ruin in the length and breadth
of our land, than this unfinished struc-
ture."
The publishers of The Home-M aker
of which Marion Harland is the edl-
tor, offer, as their contribution to the
good cause, seventy-fve cents out OF
every annual subscription Of two DOL
lars to the Magazine, sent in during
the next six months. Every sucn
subscription must be accompanied by
the words, "F0r Mary Washtngt0"
Monument"
The offer IS generous, and snouIu
meet with an enthusiastic response.
One hundred years ago this VeneL-
able woman was inferred in private
grounds near Fredericksburg, Vlr.
ginia. In 1888, the cornerstone Oh
an imposing memorial was laid oy
President Andrew Jackson. A Patrl-
otto citizen of New York assumed Il

The corporations and monopolies are
controlling the city press, the State
legislatures, Congress and the courts.
The farmers will have to wake up, or
they will be subjugated and impover-
ished by the banded monopolies. The
farmers need to study finance, bank.
ing, taxation and politics. These are
the matters that concern them most.
The papers that tell them how to raise
pumpkins, corn, beans and potatoes
r not so useful as those that discuss
taxation, finance, transportation and
government. -FarmerS' Voice.
