this great adversary. lis during
this period also that Green writes so
beautifully of the development OF
industrial England. The success of
the Revolutionary war, and the yet
more heroic efforts of u ancestors
subduing this country were made
possible by a paper currency; and
Franklin wrote from Paris during the
Revolution that our system was the
wonder of Europe. The wonderful
efforts of the Union and Confederate
forces in the late war, with no sinews
of war except a paper currency, are a
magnificent tribute to the value OF
paper money.
That in every instance paper money
had deprecated, and in some become
worthless, is but a confirmation OF the
statement that gold and silver is too
scarce to serve as the only basis of the
currency. ~
In the very nature of things the
certificate of deposit can be obtained
at first hand only by him who has the
product to deposit; hence, there will
be the necessity of lending to some
one on a credit, and here will arise
the necessity for private banking, and
the justification for interest.
The State banking system will not
answer, because the constitution says
expressly that no State can make any
thing else than gold and silver a legal
tender. A money that willnot pay
debts is not of much use, as was amply
proven in the late war, when the
United States government issued
"demand" notes that we're not legal
tenders.
The currency should be like our
government, local and national. Local
needs should decide it's volume, and
national faith and credit should fix its
value. Both these requisites meet in
the idea of the Sub Treasury.

STANLEY CREEK, Aug. 16..
Mr.. EDITORIALS | have been Sc.
lected by our Alliance as Correspond.
ing Secretary, | will write a few lines.
Our Alliance numbers about loo
members, including about twenty
females, besides some to initiate at
our next meeting. We have many
good and true members, but alas like
all societies we have a few that are
drones. No good to the order
rather a drawback. We today in.
stalled u new officers for the ensu.
ing year.
Is the Alliance going to be able TO
Withstand the storm now raging
through the country I? Will it be able
to weather the hurricane ? Unless
every member stands square to the
principles of the Alliance and works
and that hard, the Alliance will go
down. The present campaign will be
the trying time, and we must keep
our eyes and ears open and work as
we have not yet worked, for our ad-
vers aries are working hard to break
down the order. 1t is something very
strange that the working classes are so
little respected by all other professions,
when all support comes from the tiller
of the soil.
We have a man in our State hold
ing high Office and worshiped by some
more than their maker, who has init.
mated that the farmer has not sense
enough to draw a bill for legislation
that would be constitutional.
Will some one tell me why such a
fuss is made about the farmers organ,
izing for their benefit. The time has
been when farmers made laws, and
we had better laws then than now.
Some soreheads are trying to bolt
the action of the county convention
and put a legislative candidate in the
race independent. If such should be
the case they will cut off their own
nose to spite their face. But Stroup
will get there all the same. A good
Democrat as he calls himself, told me
a farmer did not have sense enough
to draw a bill in the legislature.
Alliance men of North Carolina,
st and firm to your principles, do not
be scared from your duty by the
squeaking of Soreheads and Office seek.

break the Alliance, but if it passes

and be careful, do nothing rash,
avoid controversy as much as pos,

LETTER FROM MISSISSIPPI.
The Alliance and What it is Doing in
the Various States.

- SS$ 4S~~ ~S
the Various States.
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures the
fact that [ am not given to writing
for the reading public, I thought l
would drop a few lines, as I have not
seen anything from this part.
Crops are not so good a they
promised to be-too much rain in
some parts and not enough in others.
Then we r visited by the boil worm
which is very destructive to the cot
ton. Farmers claim to have been in,
jured at least one half.
[ read with delight the many en-
couraging letters from the Alliances
everywhere. Such letters speak vol
umes and show beyond the shadow of
a doubt that the people are thorough
ly aroused to a proper understanding
of their situation and that they will
never give up this bloo1less revolution
until every foe of equal rights to all
and special privileges to none has
been vanquished. Let the good work
go on. We should not become dis
couraged because our plans are op-
posed by a few moss. backed politicians
who r controlled by the money
power. We should be prepared to
meet this opposition, and there is no
better place than at the ballot-box.
Another good feature of the ALI.
nee is that it is doing more to heal
the chasm made by civil war than
all the efforts of u politicians, be-
cause the people North and South,
East and West recognize the fact that
the masses are marching in one solid
phalanx to overthrow the yoke of op-
preston that they have been forced to
carry for years.
| am sorry to see that there are
some men who call themselves ALI.
ance men that are so afraid that they
will do something that will disrupt
the Democratic party that they will
not advocate measures essential to
to their interest. If I understand the
objects of the Alliance they are to
raise suffering humanity to a higher
plane mentally, morally, socially and
financially through that party that is
willing to- labor to secure this end.
Let it be Democratic, Independent or
Republican. If this is not non-par-
titan, I fail to understand the de6ni-
ton of the term.
l am glad to see that there is a
spirit of resentment amongst the PEG.
pie in some of the States. Let the
good work go on. Those who are
not for us are against US and should
be showed under whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself. Let them learn
that it is the farmer who to day needs
legislation and not of the kind they
have been receiving. Let equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none be our motto.
May The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and
all other wide awake papers continue
to champion the cause of freedom.
