The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-07-15

This is about as near truth as the
paradox in McCulloh eport Of De-
cember 4, 1865, Gas ices are re,
duced the demand for money falls off;
so that paradoxical as it may seem,
diminution of the currency may IN
fact increase the supply of it"
But further inquiry has taught us
that a party press is governed in its
political views by its party leaders.
We also find that the leaders are seek
ing afiIiation with the money kings,
and the money kings are governed by
self If-interest; so the national banking
system is a a legitimate outgrowth of
the controlling influences.
Following the lead of the party
organs has brought US to financial de-
moraliz alton, poverty and want, and
instead of aiding US to obtain some
measure OF relief from the hardships
of the situation, they are criticising
unfavorably the motives by which we
are controlled, and ridiculing our
efforts and plans as "hayseed social
ism" This is the measure Of gratitude
that we get at the hand of the hench-
men, who can no longer anuse US
with thrice told tale" We would
refresh their memories in regard to
the old adage, that there is a point
beyond which silent forbearance ceases
to be a virtue" Let it be remem-
bered that "Those who are not for us
are against" that those who absorb
our earnings without just returns are
our enemies; that those who assist our
enemies are not our friends. Let it be
remembered that those who attempt
to stir up strife or to excite discord in
our ranks are not for us but against
us, even though they assem- ole at our
affairs.
Let it be remembered that, he who
would magnify the difference of opin-
ions on molehills or non essen sials into
mountains of discord, "hath no charity
in all things" and has adopted the
tactics of the enemy.
Let it be remembered that partisan
newspapers whether they have re
ceived patronage and favors at the
hands Of the bankers or not, who pro
fess to have great sympathy and love
for our order and at the same time
ridicule an denounce our plans of re-
lief, must either be hy2ocrits or
think that we are fools
Again, let US beware of men who
join our order for the purpose of rid,
ing into place AMI power lest we find
ourselves in the situation of the darkey
who knocked at the gate Of the new
Jerusalem. Without opening the gate,
St. Peter inquired whether he was
mounted or on foot, he replied that he
was on foot, he was told to pass on,
he could not enter. Sorrowfully he
turned his steps eastward, but meet
ing white neighbor who asked why
he failed to get in, he answered, be-
cause he was on foot. The neighbor
then told him that he had a plan by
which they could both enter, that was
that the darkey should let him get on
his back and ride him in. The plan
was accepted and the darkey returned
with the neighbor mounted on his
back. They reached the gate and
knocked, and the question whether
mounted or on foot was again asked
the reply was mounted. Then alight
hitch your steed and walk in, was the
reply-yOu see the moral
Let it be remembered, that both the
Democrats and Republicans stanC
ready to obey the behests of the
money kings, and that the nationa
banks conspire to absorb the products
of labor and that the currency coming
through the national banks, is sc
burdened with taxation to support the
intervening idlers, that it requires
one hundred and forty cents worth o.
the products Of labor to buy one dol
lar of the currency.
Let it be remembered that the Sub
Treasury bill is constitutional, practi
cal and wise legislation, but will prob
ably fail to pass and become a law
because it will not pay tribute of ou1
earnings to the money hoarders.
