THE coNFL1c NEARING.

The people are being aroused to the
enormity of the evils of class laws as
never before known in a nation. Pro
fessional men of every type, business
men in every capacity, r fast realiz.
ing that the universal discomfort OF
the people throughout the nation re-
suits not from rights of alarmists or
the pirate of demagogues, but from o
deep seated vital cause which is fast
drying up the avenues of every indus
try, and touching with spelling hands
the fortunes and lives of every indi-
Vidual who is not favored by the
brazen frauds. The majority of the
people now know that many of our
modern laws are sly, underhand
methods of robbing n class to give
to another. Know that when legisla-
tive bodies grant special favors to n
class of individuals that they must
take from others to do it. That these
brazen wrongs are the meanest crime
On earth, and that the so-called Demo
cratic and Republican parties are the
gigantic bulwarks which shelter these
poisonous blights to u peace and
prosperity.
Even u lawyers, the most respon-
Bible of all men for the present social
state, must and soon will realize had
they no care for the general condition
OF the masses, that their pecuniary in
terests lie in just and equitable laws
for all. Business men, farmers and
wage earners, in spite of the associated
tools of our modern tories, are learn
ing that their interests r so closely
allied that the injury of one is the in
jury, and must be, the concern of all.

THE GREATEST BOOK OF THE
YEAR.
Morgan's History Of the Agricultural
Wheel and Farmers Alliance.

A Book of TIA pages, handsomely
bound and printed IN elegant style.
Agents wGnted IN eVery county IN
North Carolina, South Carolina and
VIgtnia.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is gen.
eral agent for the sale of this great
and valuable work in these three
States. We want n or two active,
energetic, working agents, in each
county who will work to sell it. We
want those only who are thoroughly
reliable and who can and WlU go from
house to house, and especially among
the members of our order and show
them the book. It's price as only
$2.25I
1t is endorsed by the leading men
OF these great orders, and is just what
is claimed for it. No farmer, no
wealth-producer, no business man, no
patriot, no voter can afford to be
without it. Every Alliance man in
America should buy it, read it and
study it. If we would correct the
great evils and wrongs that are crush
ing the energies and spirit of the
people, we must understand them and
to do this we must inform ourselves.
This can be done in no way so readi-
ly, so correctly and so cheaply, as by
reading u OeOn literature. To those
desiring to act as agents: Write us at
once, giving your full address and
send us the endorsement of the
officers of your Subordinate and
County Alliance, as to character and
6tness. DO not aVrGte us aOGthout such
endorsement. We will send full infor-
nation to all such applicants with
terms, etc. Apply at once that you
may have the advantage of the winter
months in your work.
We will mail the book, postpaid, to
any address within these three States
for $2.25, the regular retail price of
the book.
We will send a copy of the book
to any one who will send us a club of
twenty-five new subscribers to the
PROGRESSIVE FARMER and twenty-five
dollars.
The sales of the book have aston.
ished the author and publisher. 1t is
just the thing that the farmers need
and they bug 1t.

MAD DOG.

Because the dog has a high temper
ature naturally, and an excited, nerv-

especially is this the case should he
become lost, or strayed away from his
master. So at this season, and at such
times, the idle boy or man sees
symptoms of hydrophobia in the lost
and worried dog, and chases, stones,
or shoots at him, till the conclusion
that he is mad furnishes the thought
