IT is now clearly evident that the
Il chief opposition to the Alliance
comes from and is directed by the
would be leaders of the two political
parties. Look at 1t. In Georgia they
endeavored to bring out Bullock, a
Republican, Of "unsavory memory .
against Livingston, an Allianceman,
and a Democrat.
in Kansas several Democratic coun-
ty conventions have endorsed John J.
Ingalls, for the u. s. Senate to prevent
his defeat by a friend of the Alliance.
The SANDER Bureau, in Washing-
ton, sent a most scurrilOus, slanderous
and lying article to the New York
Tribune, a leading Republican paper,
against the off ;ers of the National
Alliance, and it was promptly copied
into a leading Democratic paper which
aspires to become the national organ,
of that party, and the NewS and o.
serVer of this city.
In the South they charge US with a
purpose to disrupt the Democratic
party and sell it out to the Republi
cans. In the North they charge US
with a purpose to disrupt the Repuo oil
can party and sell 1t out to the
" bloody handed rebels. In the
North they assert that Dur National
President Is a violent, rabid secession
Democrat, and in North Carolina an
editor who claims to be a Christian
gentleman, copies from a speech
which he never made, to prove that
he is "a Republican in disguise" an
that editor and Christian gentleman (?)
says that he "doubts whether he saw

The State Democratic & invention
of North Carolina seems to recognize

surprised but greatly astonished when
we received a copy of The PBoGREs
s1vE FARMER, at Sparta, Wisconsin,
on the l4th of July, con raining the
Senator's letter-just sixteen days
after it was written. This was the
only copy of a State paper we saw
during our tour of four weeks. Be
fore we had reached home, the asso
ciate editor, to vindicate us against
this false charge, had stated EDITOR
ally that we we're utterly ignorant OF
the whole matter. He was inter
viewed by the State Chronicle, and that
paper showed also that we had no
knowledge of the matter. Still, to
this day, that charge stands against us
in the columns of several papers,
backed up by other equally untruth,
full and slanderous Misrepresentation.
The ~unrelenting and bitter persis-
tency with which our enemies and the
enemies of the Alliance pursue their
determined purpose to misrepresent
our principles aud action, impels us,
from every consideration of duty to
our noble order, to vindicate ourselves
and the order against these malicious
and unjust assaults. And if, in doing
so we shall be forced to make unpleas
ant revelations touching the position
of men, it Is their misfortune and not
our fault.

ance should and must know who are
its friends and who are it's enemies,

if indeed it is thoroughly understood
by the Senator himself. 1t is now

activity, with the view and the hope
that by the use of the power and pres

The above sac rs a clean cut con

sue thus presented between the Sen.
ator and their order. This clause of
the Alliance platform, endorsed by
the Democratic Convention, as every
Alliance man knows, has met the
hearty and universal endorsement of
the whole order throughout the United
States. They regard it as The most Inn
Pogtant, if possible, of all their de.
mands. 1t strikes right at the heart
and core of their troubles the wicked
and corrupt financial system of our
government. They will fight any and
all men-any and-all combinations, to
relieve the country of this great in

position on this question.

Bro. Beddingield, and takes direct as

oU-amportant question las we'll as with

calls for a halt, in order that we NAV
have an understanding. 1t has gone
out as the dictum of the press of the
Staae that nc man should be nomi
mated or elected to the legislature
unless he will pledge himself to vote
for Senator Vance to succeed himself.
Over IS, 600 Alliance votes will be
cast in that election and before thew
are cast, in view of the hostility of
the Senator to several of their most
cherished measures, we say that we
have reached the point now, where
pledges should be mutual and recip.

the papers, a candidate must answer:

SENATOR VANCE AS A LETTER

. ENATOR VANCE has written
- three letters respecting his position
on the Sub-Treasury bill and cognate
matters. The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
gives hi u the bcnef5 of their pubIica-

We regret, as many others do, that
he should have departed so far from
the line of legitimate argument in his
third letter, as to make a g~ratuitous
and undigniGed personal fling at the
editor of this paper.
The writer may not possess a "schooI

law, but he proposes to analyze the
Senator's position, as defined in his
letters, and it may be the Senator will
conclude that ne is a troublesome
"school boy in asking puzzling ques,

OUR POSITION.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
j is the official organ of the Farm
ers' Alliance OF North Carolina. AS
such it is not the mouth-piece of any
man. 1t seeks to represent, truly aQd
faithfully, the principles and interests
of that great order. In doing 50, it
must deal with men and measures,
without "fear, favor or affection"
keeping constantly in view it's para.
mouGt duty-fdelity and loyalty to
the principles and interests of the
order it represents. This is it's first
and highest duty. Il in the discharge
of this du.y il becomes necessary to
criticize public men or measures, it
will strive to do SO In that spirit of
fairness, candOr, justice and m~anliness
which would spurn alike the persecu-
ton Of foe or the trucking adulation
of 2 friend. In must know and rec
ognize measures-nOt men-it must
know principles-not friend or foe.
This is the guide star to its official
course, aad it proposes to follow It
faithfully and unswervingly, needing
neither the claims of personal friend
ship nor the desperation of opposing
enemies.
In the discharge of a painful out
plain duty The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
promptly took issue with Senator
Vance as to his position on the Sub
Treasury bill. Painful, because OF the
o. exalted estimation in which the writer
and his people had ever held the Sen
ator-plain, because the Senator had
placed himself N direct antagonism
to the expressed position and will of
our order. This paper said that Sen,
ator Vanca had committed an error
and endeavored to show it. This is
the sum of its offending.
Not unexpectedly it drew an imme.
date and tremendous fusil4de from
many of the papers of the State. In
their wild land in some instances pre-.
tended) zeal they not only ignored
fairness, justice and truth, but over
stepped propriety and prudence. They
promptly heralded the false charge to
the State that The PRoGREss1vEFARMER
had assailed Senator Vance with the
view of s%upplanting him in the U. S.
Senate by its editor. What were the
facts ? Only a few days prior to our
departure for the Wes5 June the
24gh) we heard that the Senator had
written a letter against the Sub
Treasury bill and would p ublish it in
this paper. We immediately sought
an interview with HIM and told him
if it were true we would like to see II
or get a copy before it was published.
He replied, " there is not a syllable
OF truth in it," and assured us that
the only letter he had written in re.
gard to it was in answer to a letter
ad dressed to him by our State Sc ere
tary, Bro. E. G. Beddingfeld, pro.
pounding to him certain specific qnes
trons. We promptly announced this de
MAI edltorially. We were not only
