EDITORIAL NOTES.

= The Rural Home and the Sentinel,
at Goldsboro, have consolidated. Two
editions will be issued-one from
Toisnot and the other from Goldsboro.
The paper will continue to preach
Alliance doctrine fearlessly.
It is estimated that in the pres.
ent shape of the Sub Treasury bill,
North Carolina will only get fifteen
warehouses. That is enough, pro.
vided the United States has the same
number in proportion to population,
etc. Fifteen warehouses in North
Carolina will set our old State Oh her
feet again.
Brethren of the Alliance, keep
cool. Be firm. Be true, stand for
principle and the right. Work for
the best interests Of your country. De.
mand only what is just and right, and
accept nothing less. AS a citizen,
you cannot discharge your duty prop
erly if you be guided 0y passion, or
prejudice or personal likes or disIikes.
AS an Alliance man, your principles
and your obligation are your only safe
guides.
Bill Nye is the the greatest iv,
ing humorist. His letter this week
on the 5th page of this paper is an
amusing ~burlesque on the relief tx
petitions to the North Pole and on
such African explorers as Stanley and
R. Rider Haggard. All of his articles
contain both wit and wisdom. The
attempt to rescue Emin Tutewiler, who
was alleged to have been lost in a few
miles of New York City, is exceed.
ingly funny.
~ In this issue will be found an
interesting argument against the prac.
ticability, &C., of the Sub Treasury
bill. Read it. On the first page will
be found a strong defense of the Sub
Treasury bill and the Alliance, by
Col. Norwo ID, of Georgia. Read and
digest it, Other important matter,
including an imaginary address by an
alleged statesman against the bill will
be found in this issue. The address
should have been credited to Farm
Fun.
The Clyde, Kansas, Argus, re,
ferring to the fact that a third paper
the Farmers AHlance-had been
started at Cuba, expresses the opinion
that Cuba is not able to support three
papers: The editor Of the Alliance
paper,is a young lady-Miss L. Moon.
She informs the Argus that her paper
is,an Alliance paper and not dependent
on the town of Cuba for support. She
says: "This paper is here to stay
and has no fear whatever Of being
compelled to eat snowballs next win
ter, which we are afraid some OF our
contemporaries will be-"
For years past, when the farm.
ers would complain that they were
ignored in the selection Of candidates
for Offices, the politicians would IN,
swer: "Why don't you farmers 60
into the conventions and show your
strength and demand your rights ? II
you do not get what you want, you
alone are to blame for it." Well, the
far mers concluded to act on this al,
vice, and the moment they do so, these
same sugar-lip chaps cry out: "In9
farmers are going into politics
they will destroy the party n ruin
the country"

KIND WORDS FROM PATRONS.

KIM ONOS KUN Z "A CNOENSs
WE don't undertake to publish
wv extracts from near all of the
letters received from friends in this
and other States. But there can
be no harm in doing so occasionally.
A great many of our subscribers are
not engaged in farming. Below we
give extracts from several letters,
sho wing the estimate placed upon the
paper rs a paper and as an advertls
ing medium:
Messrs. T. w. Wood & Sons, the
well known seedsmen, at Richmond,
write as follows:
"Returns from our advertising in
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER have been
very satisfactory; even better, we be,
lieve, than any ad vertising we have
done in any agricultural paper"
French Bros, Wilmington, N. c.,
manufacturers of phosphate line, have
the following to say:
We have advertised in The Pro,
GREssIvE FARMER for several years,
and are we'll satisfied with the results.
We consider it one of, if not the best
advertising mediums in the South"
Hume, Minor & Co, extensive
dealers in pianos and organs, Rich
mond, Va, have the following to say:
awe consider THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER not only the best advertising
medium in the South, but as it's name
indicates, the most progressive, as
we'll as the strongest, paper published
in the interest Of the farmer"
The Durham Fertilizer Company,
Durham, N. O., and Richmond, Va,
manufacturers of cotton and tobacco
fertilizers, write as follows:
eve are glad to say that our ad.
vertisements in The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER have always paid US hand
somely, far surprising any other ad
vertising we have eve done. For
reaching the people there is nothing
like The PROGRESSIVE FARMER"
Thaddeus Ivey, Esq, Ex-V Vice Presi-
dent of the North Carolina State Ali
ance, Wake Forest, N. c., writes:
THE Progressive FARMER is wide
a wake and out-spoken and it's work
comprehensive. It's contributors also
are of high ability. Altogether, it is
the best farmers journal for the money
that is published"
Rev. W. J. Fulford, of Cool Spring,
N. c., a well known and highly
esteemed minister, writes:
81 esteem The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
the best journal published in North
Carolina. Its ably and fearlesly edited,
and it's general appearance, together
with it's promptness in coming to it's
readers, prove that it's management is
admirable. It's extensive circulation
and increasing popularity. and its
freedom from bogus ad prrtisements,
render it one of the bes advertising
mediums in the State"
Thee. F. Klutz, Esq Salisbury, N.
O., a prominent lawyer, and who is
also largely interested IN manufacture
ing, railroad building and other in
dustries, writes as follows:
"To advertisers who wish to reach
the homes of the intelligent, reading,
thinking, progressive farmers of this
section, who are on TIE constant
lookout for ways and mean of better
ing their condition, THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER furnishes a first class medium.
With this desirable class the paper is
wonderfully popular and influential,
while the dash, ability and indepen-
dence of its management make it of
interest to all classes of readers. Its
subscription list is something phe-
nomenaI in North Carolina journal
ism"

ASHE, & CO.

THIS is amagnifcent team! They
l. trot beautifully, IN double har-
ness, along certain lines. The ingalls,
SANDER Bureau wrote a long letter of
abuse and vile misrepresentation to
the Kansas people in regard t % the
President of the National Alliance.
Capt. Ashe has also recently written
much ABOUT him. There is a striking
and significant rese nblance between
the charges made by these two repre-,
sentative party men. For instance:
Capt. Ashe says: He was a failure
as a soldier" So says the ingalls,
SANDER Bureau, Capt. Ashe says;
" He was a failure as q farmer" Sc
says the Ingalls, SANDER Bureau
Capt. Ashe says: He was a failure
in journalism" So says the ingalls,

A. Ashe. In the issue of that paper
dated June 9th, 1880, was an editorial
from the pen of Capt. Ashe, which
reads as follows.
Cool. POLK RESIGNS.
tCol. Polk yesterday rendered his
resignation of the position of Commis,
sloner of Agriculture. In accepting
it, the Executive COMMITTEE express
great regret and speak in high terms
of the excellence of his work Col
Polk was appointed Commissioner
upon the creation of the Department
OF Agriculture in 1877. He has at
all times conducted the affairs OF his
Office. with marked ability, energy and
zeal, and has placed the Department
upon a high plane of merit and favor.
We regret that he has g ut to re
sign, and feel assured that the Depart
ment has lost a most excellent head
and the State an earnest servant,
Out of his own mouth he stands
condemned. What car honorable,
fair minded, truth loving men think
of such conduct. What will u
honorable brethren of the press Of the
State think of it ? What answer a
such a man make before the bar of
public opinion ?
Our next witness:
"ExECUTIvE OFFICE,

the following.

Capt Ashe says !:
"He was a failure as
Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, and when
the legisla i've exam-
ming committee came
to Xamine into mat
tiers connected with
his office, if we recol-
lect Alright, he locked
up his desk, left his
Office and resigned.
That was substantially
the response he made
to the Examining
Committee appointed
by the legislature; the
peoples representa-
tive. And so he was
a failure as as a Com
missioner of Al ricul-
ture."

The people, in reading the above
charges and falsehoods, will have an
opinion as to where the Ingalls, Sian.

Alliance will see something of the
base methods adopted for crushing our
order. For the complete refutation
OF the malicious and mean intimation
that we came out of that office under
a cloud, we introduce the following:

1t is generally conceded that the rail-
road amendment will be carried at the
general election this fail, but from ap-
pearances worse fate threatens the
common road amendment. In all proba-
Dility there never was question before
the people that affected them as individ-
uals more than the road question, yet
but little attention is being paid to it.
In dry weather they don't need good
roads. and as it has been nearly two years
since severe wet winter was expert
enced the people are not alive to the
necessity for better roads, aud the great
loss and Inconvenience the county will
sustain il another wet winter and spring
is experienced. There ia prejudice
against all laws that necessitate taxation
and bitter opposition is met when they
are mentioned, BotwithstandIng it Is the
only method by which public improve
ments can be secured. The only ques-
tion should be are the public i'm
provements necessary? II so then it
Is first and right to tax for them, and If
there Is no provision made by law for
such a course, then they can never be
secured. The present proposed amend
ment is local option in principle and it
can, by vote of a county. be adopted or
rejected, and nothing could be more fair
aud just. True, one county might not
desire the law, SO much the better for
that county, but there are some coun-
ties that need it badly; therefore, is it
right or just to deny them the privilege
of the law on account of little opposi-
tion on our part? Is it right for Gonzales
county, by voting against the amend
ment, to cay to another county you shall
not have the privileges of the Law? In all
fairness and justice ought not every
individual vote for the amendment in
order that he may do justice to his fellow
men in allowing them privilege to i'm
prove their counties and make it more
desirable for homes? The Inquirer hopes
the amendment will meet With the ap-
proyaI Of the people in November.

Is the determination Of denominations, the
hugh molooh crying for more human
food, and reveling in the view of ad-
dit'onai misery poverty and tears wrung
from the plundered masses, whose sub
stance goes continually into its ravenous
NAV. This bill was framed in all its
parts to meet the wishes of the moneyed
East. 1t increases the burden of taxa
apparel, of household or farm use. 1t
raises the general average of tariff du-
lies from forty-seven per cent, to some
where in the neighborhood of sixty per
cent. The infant Industries that have
grown TO be pampered and powerful
trusts and combines under the fostering
and protecting care of an unprecedented
tariff, are given additional protection in
order that nothing may stand in their
way, or hinder the freedom with which
they may plumber and rob the public at
will. Nothing could be added TO the
catalogue of iniquities perpetrated dur
ing the first session of the hfty-trst con-
gress to exceed the unparalleled infamy of
the tariff bill. A people that will tamely
submit to such outrageous class legisla-
zion, to such odious barter and sale OF
popular rights for q mess of pottage-or
as the vernacular has 1t, for political
Stat" or "soap''-ought to be made
serfs and poems Of, and live on rats and
mice, and dwell in huts and caves.
They deserve no better fate.
Are not these things, and many more
that might be named, proof enough that
this congress legislated only for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the Republican
party, and that it was as destitute of
craftsmanship, as of honesty or patriot
ism? If the proof is not conclusive,
there is no virtue under heaven in eV-
idence.

THE four reporters that walked out of
meeting convened in Boston for the
purpose of casting slurs upon the memory
OF John Boyle o Reilly and the proposed
memorial are a credit to journalism.
They would not do what they were ex-
pected and preferred TO leave and TO
vindicate the law of courtesy. That the
meeting at Trement Temple was the
woman's meeting gives color to the
charge of being "maunerless.
