Horace GreeIy Did Not Originate This
Expression.

Expression.
"Do you know" said an old timer at
the Chicago Club to the Mdirs club man,
"that epigrammatic bit of advice to
young men, Go West, so generally at
tributed to Horace Greeley, was not
original with him? No? Well, it wasn't
1t all came about this way: John l. b.
Soule was the editor of the Terre Haute
Express back in the sos, and one day in
1851, if remember right, he and Dick
Thompson, afterward secretary of war,
were conversing in the formers sanctum.
Thompson had jul finished advising
Soule to go West and grow up with the
country and was pralalng his talents as a
writer.
"'Why, john he said, you could
write an article that would be attributed
to Horace Greeley if you tried
No, Icouldn't,' responded Mr.. Soule,
modestly. IN bet couldn't

Greeley could never have given young
man better advice than that contained
in the words, Go West, young man.
''Of course, the advice wasn't quoted
from Greeley-merely compared to what
he might have said. But in few weeks
the exchanges began coming into the
Express offices with the epigram re-
printed and accredited to Greeley almost
universally. So wide a circulation did
it obtain that at last the New York Irib-
stne came out editorially, reprinted the
Express article, and said in foot note:
"'The expression of this sentiment
has been. attributed to the editor of the
New York Tribune enormously. But so
heartily does he concur in the advice it
gives that he indorses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice of the Terre Haute
Express and joins in saying, $50 West,
young man; go West. "-IChicago Mail.

+ JUNIPER, May 9.-An invention
which will forever solve the cotton bag.
ging question, process by which rawie,
cotton stalks, okra stalks, pine straw or
any other vegetable texture can be re-
duced to fibre and then woven into cloth,
has assumed shape.
Mr.. D. Stanley, of Elstoyer, S. c., is
the inventor OF the process, and MIR.
franklin FL. Lummus of cotton gin fame
and of the quiet town of Juniper, Geor.
gia, is general manager of the whole
business.
Raggiug factories will be erected all
over the cotton growing States, pine
straw will be the material used, a new
industry will be started, the cost Of q
covering for cotton will greatly be les
eeued, aud tiie whols country will be
immensely benefited.
Mr.. Stanley's process has been thor
oughIy tested. A glance over the cor.
respondepce of Mr.. Lummus rsvea ls the
perfect faith of experts in the business,
and numerous offers Of sites, etc., which
be has received, show that tue people are
willing to give their faith a substantial
backing.
Mr.. Stanley sold his patent to the
Wilmington Fibre Company. This com
pany has offered il, at an immense profit,
10 an Euglisn syndicate This syndicate
holds an option which expires the first
of August. Should they fail to trade,
an Eastern Company stand ready to pur.
chase the patent at an increased price.
The trade is being made through Mr..
Lummus, who will incorporate his gin
works into the business. Big money
has already changed hands, and that
baggiug factories will be set up all over
the country is an assured fact. Some OF
the factories will turn out covering for this
years crop.
The company will invest, to start on,
1875 900, and will be capitalized at q
million dollars. The papers are all
drawn, and it only remains for the money
to be paid. Propositions Offering factory
sites and al abundance of pine straw land
have come in from many quarters. The
South Carolina railroad, which runs from
Charleston to Columbia, offers the use of
all it's land, with additional inducements
for the location Of factories.
e. Messrs. Traverse & Co., the largest car
riage company in New York, pronounce
the okra fibre made by tho Stanley process
the best fibre for rope, baggipg, etc., ever
seen. The okre fibre is, in color, a beau
tiful white, and in strength superior to
hemp or tlax. Okra will grow on any
soil with little cultivation, and on rich
land can be grown as high as fifteen feet.
It is cheaper than jute, and tho present
tests indicate that it will make better rope
than any fibre known. Okra and pine
straw are both difficult to burn. A lighted
match hardly makes sn impression on the
fibre of either.
The value Of the pine straw bagging
made last season of green straw was
greatly reduced by lis dyoing the cotton
which it covered. The Stanley process
usou dry straw, requires no chemicals,
and produces q bagging that will not stain
at all.-Atianta Journal, NW 10.

Reduction OF the Currency.

MIR. EDITOR: Secretary Window, an.
swering the charge that the per capita Of
circulation ms been reduced to s4.72,
states that it is $22 Sc on population of
G4,OOO,O00. That it is greater than in
any country of Europe, except France.
While it is true that the currency has
been reduced too low, yet it is important
TO guard against the other extreme.
Even now we can take bale Of colttn
and buy more with it, on all average,
than we could have done in Anderson in
1896. With cotton at ten cents, and its
present purchasing value, we are doing
much better than our neighbours North Of
the cation belt. In this computation we
put the price of cotton at % cents, the
average price in Anderson of the crop of
1866. We stick close to the facts.

Government should Help the FarmsT:

The puerile statement witch many Of
tho Anti Alliance press are constantly
making that 10 loan money on lauds
would be class legislation which, would
benefit only farmers, is too absurd 70
merit reply. Its most Important feature
is that it would help all clasaes. because
the producer, who feeds and clothes the
world. wonld be benefited, and through
him all classes would be assisted. 1t
would not be class legislation, because
land is the real basis of the nations
wealth, and it should be good security, or
The whole national system will tremhle
for xaut of support. We know iaany
wise ones will laugh in dctision at this
idea and sag the uation has been running
over hundred years, aud has not fellen !;
but we answer-as arre a5 tho present law
remains, and the foundations of good
government are undermined by it as it
has been, the great edilice will topple and
fall.
For more than twenty FIVE years the
money powers have held the reihs Of
government, and making the national
debt its basis of credit, have SO manipula.
ted it that the finance Of the government
has been q constant source Of oppression.
The sub-treasury plan which is intend.
ed 10 make the farmer independent of
monopolists, is another measure Which is
being called Glass legislation, and has
brought down the wrath OF the monopoly
press and the old superannualed solons
upon its projectors.
The old spawned and swecnied and
sorebackcd politicians are too slow for the
race no9, they have run themselves down
trying too fleece ihe people, aud now, not
seeing any "boodle" in the sub treasury
bill, are squalling out ''class legislation"
unconstitutional, !" 'socialislic," etc.
The government which hrs spent 25
years in class legislation to wreck the ag
ricultural interest of the country aud to
enslave the producers of the land, not
only has right to relieve these people
whom it has oppressed and ruined, but is
in every seRse by honor bound to relieve
them.
Iu The language Of Harry Hinton,
tho ball has been wound up and relief
must come by the same methods, only the
ball must turn the other way" Gall it
what you will it is the duty Of the GOV
ernment to relieve the class of people
who have been most oppressed by its class
legislation in the past. We cagEot es-
pect anything of the broken do@n stock
who have knocked themselves no in lie

Some Alliances, some Democratic Clubs,

the only plank that they haze il. their
platform is that tho farmer shall not have
anything to do with politics. The papers
SO eat Oh, aud some others, are raising q
great bowl about the farmers ''boycottins'
them, aud trying to interfere will, s.a
freedom of the preas. There is no "hoy-
cotting' about it, as sc understand the
term. If the Alliance shou!I officially
condemn the course of a newspaper as
being in every way detrimental to the
interest Of the farmer, and call on all
good Alliance men 10 stop supporting such
newspapers, that would be boycotting,
would extend to all merchants and firms
advertising in, and any one having any
thing to do with it. No such thing has
been attempted or even thought of. No
man in his right mind will go to an
avowcd enemy for counsel and advice,
and that is just the position Of those who
have stopped their Subscription to tie
Nems and Courier, and County papers
that have had similar policy. They
claim that-a newspaper is to be read for
the news it contains, but the great trouble
is that in thei: news columns any re-
port of o meeting OF the farmers in an
Alliance, Association or otherwise, is so
filled up with sneors, insinuations, sarcasm
and misrepreaentatio that q true, intelli.
gent farmer reads it only with anger and
disgust. Freedom of the thought is just
as important to the farmer as the freedom
of the press is lc the newspaper, aud be-
sides no set of men have the right to ar
rogate to themselves to do the thinking
for the whole people. Every man muai
