tics. The Chronicle does not think
it wisest for the organization and its
constitutional purposes, that it should
have been led into politics by ambitious
leaders. However, as a fact, the AL.
lance is now in politics. Properly it
starts out with a platform; the princi.
pal feature of which is the sub treas,
ury scheme. When that idea was first
given to the public, it was brought
forth with a brass band and a long
procession amidst great rejoicings, as
the n remedy for the evils of agri-
cultural depression. It's object is
worthy the support of every patriot,
and did the Chronicle believe that it
were constitutional, and that it would
remedy agricultural depression, no
farmer in the entire country would
give it heartier support than would

SENATOR VANCE AND OUR
{ CRITICS.

OUR editorial in regard to the
~ disposition OF the SUB Treasury
bill by Senator Vance seems to have
created quite a stir. We expressed
our feelings on the matter and had
not thought of saying much more.
about it unless there should be new
developments. However, so much
has been said both pro and con and
our language having been misunder,
stood in some respec.s, we deem it
due all concerned to explain several
things and publish additional litera
ture bearing directly upon the subjecf,
which, we think, wild strengthen our
original position and at the same time
do justice to all parties.
We will begin by asking a question
and giving the answer. Who has a
right to criticize the mistakes or
wrong doings either of private cjti
zens or Of public officials, and who, if
they should go too far in the matter
and do them some injustice, would be
so likely to reconsider the matter and
right the wrong done?
Undoubtedly it is his friends. Is
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER a friend of
Senator Vance? Col. L. L. Polk is
the editor and owner of this paper.
His record shows tina. he is. We
have never even heard it intimated
that he has ave antagonized Senator
Vance in this State or elsewhere. On
the other hand many will testify as to
his warm friendship for Senator
Vance. During the past six months
Col. Polk has made flying visits to
Raleigh several times. In several
private and confidential conversations
with the writer he has discussed Sen.
ator Vance and his connection with
the Sub Treasury bill. He always
spoke Of Senator Vance in a way
that vas proof positive that he had
great confidence in the Senator. The
fact that Col. Polk is in the North
western States filling his appointments
is we'll known and the writer author.
lied the statement in the DAILY Chron-
GcIe of the 18th to the effect that Col.
Polk knew nothing OF the nature of
the editorials or other matter in his
paper at this time, but that the asso-
ciate editor, whose name a be seen
at the top of this paper at all times,
was alone responsible for all that the
paper contains, the views of c~orrespon
dents and clippings from other papers,
of course, always excepted. When
the editorial was written Col. Polk did
o know of the action of Senator
Vance nor the existence of his letter.
Hence he could not have written the
editorial nor could he have dictated
1t. We dwell on this point because
we want the public to know who to
censure If anything appears in this pa
per that is not right during his alb.
sence there.
Well, what about the associate
editor He has always been a Dem
ocrat-was raised cup in the faith

WASHINGTON. D. c., June l6, 1890.

AShtNGION; II. ~ june 10, AOSO.
My DEAR SIR:-Your favor Of June
10Th, stating that you are in receipt Of in
formation from several OF the States in
which it is stated [ will probably vote
against the Sub-Trea>ury bill, received. I
have to say that there is no foundation in
truth for suc i reports, and | shall not
vote against the bill. The main objects
Of the bill as I understand it, to-wit: To
procure more money for circulation, a
flexible volume, at a low rate of interest
and in the most direct manner, to the
people, and to devise some means which
will assist the producer in holding his
products until such time during the year
as will enable him to realize the greatest
amount for such products, I heartily
favor. 1t is, l think, probable that some
amendment as to details are desirable,
but the objects | cordially favor in the
bill, o in any other reasonable form they
may be presented, and 1 shall so vote.
j. R. PICKLER.
This shows that Senator Vance
kept the legislative committe as much
in the dark in regard to his position
as he did the rest of the order. Why
was this d? If he was under no obi
CATION to support the measure, why
resist all efforts to find out his posi-
