WHAT WESTERN MAN HAS TO
SAY OF THE SITUATION.

The following letter from a distin,
guished gentleman from the West
speaks for itself:
L. L. Polk, President Farmers Alliance,
Washington, d. G.
DEAR SIR:-In the Times, of the 9th,
[ notice a report of an interview you
have given some one for the public.
l write to heartily endorse what you
are reported to say in general, and in
particular the first expression of the
second paragraph" We are here to
stay" "FlnGncjaL reform IS the meceS
Slty of the hour, and 1t must ONE.
Our methods are fair and square,
etc, ETC." How long some of US have
waited for the producers to wake up
to their true condition, and how slowly
they have moved. Now that the yoke
is broken; now that eyes and ears are
open, we rejoice with great joy.
There are hundreds of thousands of
intelligent voters in our cities and
villages who will follow, and keep
apace with the farmers in a move for
the right, for even.handed justice; it
is a surprise that the great mass of
wealth. producers should have been so
long blind to their best interests, and
the best interests of a free people
This is more than a happen so, it is a
revoLutGon much needed I pray that
you may stand firm, and have much
wisdom; do not, l entreat you, adopt
the old selfish, deceptive methods of
parties. Admit no demagogUes raise
the standard of truth and equality,
and in ten years the farmers and
workerS will be respected and happy.
You are our hope; you are the power
behind the throne, a and will the
workers come to the front and stand
firm? Our country is lost; if not lost,
terribly tried, unless the advantage
now gained is followed up by the
united vision Of the voters, who
won such a glorious victory upon that
notable 4th of November, and a COM
pleta victory gained.
D. you know how many thousand
reformers, business men, professional
men, are rejoicing as they never did
before At IS years, and SO years
notice and interest in the affairs of
this great nation, excepting the fall
of Richmond, nothing has ever oc
Cured that has so inspired me.

A CURE-ALL ON THE FARM.

Editor Of the american C~ultiVGtOr i:
Among no class of workers is there a
more constant cry of distress from
lack of funds than among farmers.
And the reason for this is not a
chronic disposition to complain, as
SONS assert. The trouble is real-all
too real. The farm abounds with every
good thing excepting money, but at
times money appears to be an impos-
sibility.
The money income, however, is one
which here and there a farmer is
learning to control, the came as the
growth of other crops. At the home
of the farmer peddling milk the cal!
for money is not usually as loud as on
farms raising no regular cash crop.
The same is true where a speciality is
made of poultry and eggs, or of garden
truck, with daily or frequent sales.
The most severe pinch of finances
appea S to be on the homestead where
hay, grain, meats or live stock is the
object sought, and where sales are
made annually. Not only are the
days of cash receipts too far apart, but
the money income, when it does arrive,
is limited, more limited than the owner
anticipated from the quantity of pro
duce to be, disposed of. The reasons
for this are two-fold: First, those
who produce only, being seldom in the

and "knocked the Republicans silly ="
with the sandbag of defeat.
This county, Genesee, is a citadel,
ave, a Gibraltar of Republicans and
has been since Freemont's day. The
party originated at Jackson, In this
State. And yet Genesee county made
a full sweep for the ticket for the
Democrats
They held a ratification at the
county seat, Flint, as was fitting,
Elk. P. M. Gen. Dickinson, Gov, elect
Winans, Congressmen-ele elect and a host
more of the party were present. 1t
was advertised that a whole OK would
be roasted, but that didn't work. 1t
was cooked piecemeal in a bakery and
passed around in baskets between
slices of rye bread. A most absurd
carriacature on the Southern barbecue!
A feast which our people don't seem
able to manage.
Well, who do you suppose these
eminent orators praised and thanked
for their victory? The FARMER!
MoRAL.-Have hope. If the politi-
clans and Wall street get knocked out
a few more times, they will give the
Sub, Treasury plan a respectful hear
ing.

THE ELECTION,

Me-. EDIToR:-The owe of personal
liberty and the sense of independence
have at length asserted themselves,
and the result is before us. The con-
test is that of our a~ristocratic republic
against a government by the people
History repeats itself, and that contest
has been waged before between the
politicians and plebeians in ancient
Rome. The latter had been enslaved
by the debts and taxes incurred in
foreign wars, and at length demanded
a voice in the management of affairs
and the powers were compelled to
concede every demand made by them.
1t will be so now. The people will
now say down with the banks based
on debt, the emblem of slavery No
boarding of gold and silver that
should flow unobstructed in the chan
nels of trade, as air and water flow in
their natural channels. Down with
the protective tariff, made payable in
gold, that compels the boarding of the
precious metals. Gold and silver is
the peoples money, and the govern,
ment must COLI it, as required by law,
and then it belongs to the people.
Down with this decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States thai
says it is the duty of the government
to supply the people with money
when in fact and in true theory the
people must supply the government
with money. The government can
make no money only as it promises tc
pay in gold and silver the peoples
money. Back to first principles
hard money government, made by
hard money men; a government by
the people and for the people and no
to foster an al stocracy of wealth
created by artificial means in the mids
of war, and now enslaving the people
as in the olden times.

SENATOR VANCE AND THE SUB.
TREASURY.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In the issue of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER of the 9Th inst.
we 6nd a letter from Senator Vance
to E. G. B~eddingield.
Ever since the publication Of Sena
tor Vance's letter to Elias Carr, Presi-
dent of the State Alliance, until the
publication of his letter QUOTED above)
to E. @. Bedding1eld, we have been
at a loss to define his true position
with reference to the SUD Treasury
bill, the most important feature in our
platform, and from which we conf
uen lv hope for the greatest measure Of
relief for the people.
At the first glance, on reading this
letter, we tried to accept it as salts
factory, because we still hoped that
the Senator was in sympathy with the
Alliance and would support the Sub
Treasury bill, but when he says 1t
that bill should be demonstrated to be
constitutional, by any decision of the
Supreme Court, or otherwise" we
understand him to make the issue
cIear-to regard this statement as an
insult to our intelligence; because, it
cannot properly be demonstrated by
that tribunal that any bill is c onstitu
tional until after it shall have become
a law. If Senator Vance cannot gain
his own consent to vote for this bill
until after it becomes a law, it must
follow that he will not advo ate it's
passage and is not really in 81 mpathy
with his peoples movement. What
he means by " or otherwise" we are
not able to say. If Senator Vance
cannot support the Sub Treasury bill,
which was carefully and deliberately
formulated by a committee composed
of intelligent, prudent men, and WAS
freely discussed and finally passed in
open convention of the National Coun.
Gil, how can we reasonably expect
him, by co operation with any friend
of the measure in Congress, to put it
in such possible shape as to make it
conforma0le to his construction of the
constitution? He says n conclusion
"Surely nobody can misunderstood
this" Agreed. 1t means opposition
to the Sub,Treasury bill. The Sena
tors love for, and fear of violating,
by his vote, the Constitution of the
United States seems to be a great
misfortune.
We have ore than ever heard the
enquiry made, eff we don't elect
Vance, who can we get 2 What q
question When more than one
hundred men a be found, any one
OF whom would represent us in the
U. s. Senate as successfully, and
surely in more sympathy with this
great movement of the farmers and
| laborers. E. A. THoRNE

AULANDER, N. q.
Mr.. EDITOR: - Knowledge is
power" Money is a power in the
land. The Alliance has grown until
it has accumulated power. Power in
order to be effectual must be rightly
applied. Education is a good thing
and gives a man or woman power. If
properly educated he exerts ~his'power
in helping others to obtain what has
so much benefited him. H might be
called a benefactor. But If improper.
ly educated his power is exerted or ex-
ercised in the wrong direction, and
may lead others to follow his bad ex
ample.
If knowledge is power, why not
more of US try to get knowledge for
