THE LIVELIEST ISSUE IN AMER
n ICAN POLITICS.

On another page will be found the
" views of a Georgian on the
Sub Treasury bill, which we quote
from the Atlanta Constitution. That
paper says that the author is a solid,
substantial, successful business man
and is fully capable of handling the
subject, to which opinion we are sure
our readers will subscribe. That he
is a man of research, intellectual cali.
bre, and of deep logical thought, none
IA doubt, who will measure his argu-
ment. 1t is one of the clearest and
most exhaustive arguments in support
of the principles of the bill yet pre-
sented. Lest its length may deter
some from reading it, we desire to
call special attention to it and urge
every reader of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER to peruse and study it very
carefully. Read it over and over
again. 1t will richly repay you. The
principles involved in this bill consti
tute the liveliest and most important
issue in American politics, ana will
not down at the bidding of any man
Or party. 1t presents, fairly and
squarely, the issue-shall corrupt
money power, OF the people, rule ?
In its last and logical analysis, it pre-.
sents the question in its most en-
phatic form-shall the present oppres
sive and unjust financial system of
government be perpetuated by and
through which the honest earnings of
labor of the millions shall be appro
priated by the few =? The people are
not constitutional lawyers, but they
r sufficiently discriminating in iudg.
ment and sufficiently intelligent to
feel and to know that the financial
policy of the government is creating
m~illionaires and paupers, to the i'm
poverishment and ruin of the honest
toiling masses. They intend to cor.
rect it.
Mr.. Lincoln said: "You may fool
a part of the people all the time, the
whole of the people a part of the
time, but you can't fool all of the PEG,
pie all the time" What do they see
to day? In ar era of prosperity, with
vast moneyed enterprises projected
and prosecuted, with the ~transporta
ton facilities of the country equal to
its productive power, with no internal
industrial conditions or external rela.
tions with other nations, to produce
financial convulsions, they have seen in
the great money center of the country
within the past thirty days, money in
demand at the fearful rate of 1873 per
cent. To relieve these gamblers OF
an impending panic, they have seen
the government rush into the market
and pay hundreds of millions on
bonds as premiums, months and
months in advance of their maturity

ExTRAvAGACE NOT THE CAUSE

In an editorial in one of the mono.
poly papers on the "Signs of the
Times" they first pretended times
were good, but finally admitted that if
times were hard and laboring people
suffering for the want of work, it was
their own fault, because they had been
so extravagant. There may be a few
extravagant people, but not among
the laboring peope. Ninety*nin labor.
ing men out of every hundred are too
poor to indulge in extravagant living.
About one-half the population are
tillers of the soil, and one raised upon
a farm, knows that farmers as a class,
are the most frugal and industrious
people in the country. They rise at
FIVE o'clock in the morning, doing
their chores before breakfast. working
hard all day, milk the COWS, feed the
pigs and do the other chores after
dark, and then to bed. And after a
whole year of the hardest kind of toll,
both indoors and out, the farmer
counts up barely enough, after paying
taxes, to get him through, ready to
start on another year. The farmer
works hard for all he possesses and
when he parts with a dollar, it is
expended with great care, because in
represents sc many hard knocks.
aking a working man who earns a
dollar a day for instance, or suppose
he is obliged to work for his board,
how extravagant can a nan be who
works for his board or a dollar a day
This charge of extravaganza cannot
be laid at the door of the laboring
people. 1t is impossible for the most
of them be extravagant for they lack
the means to do it with. They have
to practice the most rigid economy to
get along and as the saying goes "make
both ends meet" 1t is a poor policy
to try and make a country rich by
practicing rigid economy. A few can
get moderately well to do by practic.

ter. A community composed of such
people would be Stunned as you
would a plague. They are the dry rot
of society. Rigid economy practiced
by the masses, would be the death OF
business, it would be a blight upon
industry, which would paraIyze anu
cause it to wither and decay. IL Is
the practice of forced economy tha'

and factories, and fills the land VIII
tramps. Extravaganza charged upon
the plain people of this country, IS d
mean libel on the body of workers,
who, by their labor have produced al
the wealth of the land. The only
extravaganza which exists is among
the drones and bummers, who produce
nothing, but live from off the labor o.
others, and if they had their rlgn'
deserts and had only what they pro.
duced, they would be compelled 70
practice the most beggardly rlgIIu
economy, and the laboring people
would be enjoying the fruits OF their
toil.-National Advocate.

JOHN ADAMS AS A HAYSEED
SOCIALIST.

THAT is of no consequence by
i what name you call your people,
whether by that of freemen or of
slaves; that in some countries the
laboring poor YER called freemen, in
others they were called slaves, but the
difference as to the State was imagin,
airy only. What matters it whether
a landlord employing ten 1aborers on
his farm, gives them annually as
much money as will buy them the
n-ecessaries of life, or gives them those
n~ecessaries at shorthand ? The ten
laborers add as much wealth annually
to the State, increase it's exports as
much in the one case as the other.
{ This is equally true of mechanics and
lahore s in mills and factories, and
too true of the farmer to day. we
are all slaves of the p~lutocrat

leo, on the east slope of the Rocky
Mountains, flows through Texas in
southeasterly direction to a point
near Painted Cave Spring, in Crockett
county, where it empties into the Rio
Grande. 1t drains an area of about
5000 square miles.
The Neches river has its source in
Van Zandt county and runs in a
southeasterly direction parallel with
the Trinity river, emptying into Sa-
,bine Lake on the Gulf of Mexico.
The Angelina river, which rises in
Rusk county, forms its principal trib.
utary, and, together with the Neches,
drains a large scope of country be-
tween the Trinity and Sabine Rivers.
The Sulphur Fork runs nearly par
allel with Red river in an easterly di-
rection, passing out of the State at
Sulphur Station and emptying into
the Red river at Dempsy, Louisiana.
1t drains a large part of the north
eastern counties of the State.
The bays along and near the Gulf
coast are: Trinity, Lavaca, Mata-
gorda, San Antonio, Espiritu Santo,
Copano, Arkansas, Nueces, Corpus
Christi, Alazan and Laguna del
Madre.
There are large number of small
inland lakes scattered throughout the
State. Lake Sabine, lying between
Texas and Louisiana, is the largest of
these and is about Is miles long by 8
broad. 1t is fed by the Neches and
Sabine rivers and discharges into the
Gulf of Mexico.
All of the principal rivers of the
State flow in a southeasterly direction
and empty into the Gulf of Mexico,
except the Red river, which flows
east into the Mississippi river.
AS a general rule the streams east
of the Brazos river are sluggish and
muddy, those on the west side clear
and swift running. Many of the
streams in Western and Northern
Texas contain pure, clear water suita-
BILE for domestic purposes, and abound
ing in fine fish. Some of the streams,
however, are deceptive. The water is
inviting to the eye, but is strongly i'm
pregnated with minerals and brackish
to the taste.
The streams in Eastern Texas also
contain large numbers of fish of the
varieties common to sluggish waters.
Some of the smaller streams in that
section, however, are fed from the
springs and lakes of pure, clear water
found among the sand hills.

stress on the last syllable of potatoes and

that his table was literally covered with

B. H. LUCKETT, Ex-Marshal.

KYLE, Tex, Feb. 25.-In the issue
of your paper dated Sunday, February
%, your correspondent from this place
stated that the City Council had re-
moved City Marshal B. H. Luckett,
and as Mr.. Luckett claims this is a
base and malicious misrepresentation
of the facts in the case, your cores
pendent hastens to make the follow
ing correct statement of the status of
the case, hoping it will satisfy ex-
Marshal Luckett in every particular !:
About three months ago a petition
was circulated and signed by larg e
number of the leading citizens of Kyle
corporation asking and praying that
the City Council remove Mr.. Luckett
from his position as marshal
and tax collector and APP
point a more suitable person; a
man who.was better qualified to dis
charge the duties of the offiee. I'M
mediately followed statements from
Constable d. T. Fielder and Deputy
Sheriff Greathouse charging Mr..
Luckett with negligence and direlec-
ton of official duty. The City Coun-
Gil, after investigating the charges,
made report that, while they found
the City Marshal had not fully dis
charged the duties of the Office, they
would not remove him. Then Mayor
Ferg Kyle refused to serve as Mayor
if Mr.. Luckett was continued as Mar
shall. There arose another complica-
ton which put things in curious
shape. Mr.. Luckett refused to resign.
Mayor Kyle rendered his resignation,
which was not accepted, and to settle
the matter, Mr.. Luckett was prevailed
on to resign, which he did. Your
correspondent takes pleasure in say
ing Mr.. Luckett was not removed, as
stated, and as for the balance the citi-
zens who are familiar with this almost
unparalleled and unprecedented case
can draw their own conclusions.
