some papers who have. 1t is writing
a long and pitiable story about how
the tariff Expresses the farmers by
lowering the price OF every hing they
have to sell and causing him to pay
so high for everything he buys. That
is all true, but perhaps in the same
column they will have an article tell
ing how lazy the farmers are; that
they come to town and sit and white
goods boxes, go fishing, hunting and
do a lot of things they should not do;
that they are responsible for their
trouble. That is mighty poor logic.
Not many of our farmers are so ignor-
ant that they cannot see through such
aimsy things.
Did it ever occur to you that it is
nobody's business what the farmer
does? People in town who neither
use their brains nor muscle are a tax
on the farmers because they must be
fed and clothed, but the farmer may
W an oxen and half work a few lit,
tie patches, sit on the banks OF some
stream and fsh-anything but steal
or beg-and it is nobody's business.
He may live on air, fish, blackberries
whatever nature puts in his way, but
his want of energy does not cause
anybody else to work harder Or spend
more money. 1t did not concern
ANYBODY when the Arkansas Squat
ter " said that he could not cover his
house when it was raining and it did
not need it when the weather was
clear; the American Indian may live
on roots, herbs, fish or the flesh of
coyotes, it is not our business; nature
furnishes the food, we should not in
terfere. Idleness is to be deplored,
we will attempt no apology for it, but
to say that the farmers are responsible
for their depressed condition is going
too far.
Who is it that goes to bed at 8
o'clock and gets up at 5 ? The farmer.
Who is it that looks worked down all
the time ? The farmer. Travel over
this country from Maine to California,
and whose wives, daughters and sons
is it that work in the houses, gardens,
fields, many of them so tired that they
can hardly drag n foot after the
other Who are they? Farmers
families. Then who is responsible :?
First of all, it is our lawmakers who
have made laws and continued in
force laws that have enabled twenty
five thousand people to grasp and get
control of seven -tenths of the nations
wealth, while sixty-four millions are
trying to fight their way with the
other three-tenths, and that little
rapidly going out of their hands.

FROM 1866 TO 1876.

WYE hope that every reader of
w The PROGRESSIVE FARMER will
read the speech published in this issue
which was delivered before Battleboro
Alliance, No. 367, Edgecombe county,
recently by Bro. J. B. Phillips. It
should be read and studied by all
men. It is a well considered and
conservative speech, and must have
required hours of patient research to
get together such an array of facts
and figures. We especially commend
that part covering the period from
1866 to 1876. All old men and
young men, too, who have any knowl.
edge of the history of our country,
can testify to the fact that these
financial disasters were almost un-
known prior to 1866. Tramps and
other beggars were hardly heard OF
up to that time. But in 1866 the
contraction of the currency began and
has continued up to the present time.
Since that time the business failures
have increased from a few hundred
up to from twelve to fifteen thousand
each year for the past two or three
years. Each year the number in,
creases Yet no legislation has been
done to stop it. The government is
getting richer, a few individuals are
getting richer, but the masses of the
people are getting poorer every day.
An English banker came over and
our patriotic Congressman and Sen.
ators stopped to do his bidding,
either for money or through ignorance,
and these same patriots have met
time and again and the error has not
been corrected. Our people should
exercise patience, prudence and dig
nifty in all their acts, but they must
for the sake of the present and future
generations, see that some remedy il
applied.

Y THE ALLIANCE ON TOP.

L NDER the above caption the
u Windsor Ledger of last week
presented a remarkably well written
editorial. 1t covers the ground so
we'll and portrays the situation so
truthfully that we reproduce the en-
tire article
"The Alliance has made great pro-
gress since its first advent into North
Carolina, and there is not a county
in the State that has not it's
Alliance. Those. outside of it's pale
car know nothing of it's workings and
of the prospects they can only gather
from what they can see in the papers
as to it's accomplishments and ultimate
aims. The people all over this broad
land are looking with interest and
eagerness at the Alliance movements.
Some are fearful that their steady
growth means dire confusion to the
country at large and causes the poll
ticians much anxiety. They are fear.
full of what might be their fate.
Many are trying to ring in and be-
come identified with the Alliance
that their own selfish aims may be
gained. Some seek the Alliance from
motives of sympathy and endeavors
to help the down-trodden farmer.
Have no fear, for this grand move
ment has come to stay and to help it.
self to a better and more perfect un-
derstanding Of its needs. Those who
stand in the way of its progress will
inevitably 60 down like grass before
the scythe of the mower. The eyes
of the farmer az at last opened and
they are beginning to act for them
selves and do Mt want the advice of
those wolves il sleeps clothing who,
while pretending great nee for
the "dear farmer" do everything in
their power that is inimical to them.
Such politicians see the handwriting
on the wall snd hasten to do what
they can to avert the calamity that is
about to overwhelm them.
The Alliance is bold and aggressive
and will make its power felt in the
coming elections. They want help
from the men and parttes in power
and they want it at once They are
going to get it, and if not given them
by those who are now in power and
able to do so, they will overturn them
and put in those who will help them
in their time Of need.
The farmers need a lessening of the
onerous tariff restrictions placed upon
them. They want adequate prices for
their products. They want agricul-
ture to be first, and not last and
they want the agriculturist to be
recognized as able and willing to help
himself and to know more of his needs
than any other class of people. They
want protection for themselves and
not more burdens put on them. They
will get it by their votes if they can
not obtain redress in any other way,
and then woe to those selfish men
who would not help them, but ground
them down deeper in the mire of want
and care"

THE STATE CONVICTS.

A T a recent meeting of Deep
IA River Alliance, No. 526, Chat,
ham county, their Secretary was re,
quested to write to Secretary Bed
ding6eld in regard to the disposition
of the inmates of the State penal in
stitution. The letter was turned over
to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. Not
having the figures and facts at hand
we wrote to Mr.. W. j. Hicks, Archi-
tect and Warden at the State Peniten.
tiary, asking him for the information.
He has kindly furnished US with the
facts. 1t will be seen that the differ,
ent companies working the convicts
pay different prices. Under the vari.
Gus charters, we think there has al.
ways been slight variations in the per
diem paid by the railroads. The
figures furnished by Mr.. Hicks will
show what companies are now work,
ing the convicts and prices, and we
suppose the contracts are pretty much
the same that they have always been.
If our Chatham brethren or any others
wish to e them they can be found
in the Code which is in the hands OF
every magistrate. We append the
letter from Mr.. Hicks herewith:
DEAR SIR:-I have the honor to &C.

THE SITUATION IN NORTH CAR,
/OLINAIS NEARLY THE SAME.

TINE following from the Economist
shows the situation in Alabama
and will apply to North Carolina
quite as forcibly:
Alabama, at this time, offers q
striking illustration Of the indomita-
BILE perseverance and the corrupt
methods of the ringsters. The white
farmers Of Alabama are almost all
Democrats, and always have been.
They never have allowed any partisan
politics within their Alliance organi-
cation. They yer with n accord
bitterly opposed to any third party
movement to obtain the legislation
they so much needed. They found
that the measures they needed as
farmers were not in the Democratic
platform of their State, and like the
good, honest Democrats they were,
they adopted resolutions asking that
such principles be put in the platform,
and resolved to try to elect Democrats
who would support such measures.
This procedure, properly presented to
the Democratic party of that State,
would no doubt have been satisfactory,
but it did not suit the bossesIand ring.
sters who had always ruled the farmer
in his vote, and they proceeded to lie
about and m~isrepresent the farmers
movement, and nothing was too mean
for them or their corrupt and hired
press to say if it tended to divide the
farmers or bring their efforts into
disgrace. But for once the sturdy,
honest farmers were too sharp to be
fooled; they still blindIy stuck to their
party and went to the primaries
strong enough to be in a majority and
demand that the platform contain the
demands they so much needed, and
that men pledged to carry out those
demands be the nominees of the old
party. The result was that the ring
sters, in many cases, when they found
themselves outnumberad by honest
Democrats in their own Democratic
convention, withdrew and called it a
farmers convention, and set their
ring convention for some future day,
and claimed that the farmers were re-
sponsible for a split in the time hon.
ored Democratic party. The fact is,
they bolted, and then claimed that
the majority was not Democrats
simply because they we're honest
farmers. This indicates that either
the ringsters will be strong enough to
read all honest farmers out of the
Democratic party in that State, OF the
farmers will be strong enough to
mash the ringsters. The result is
waited for with deep interest. The
farmers of Alabama are honest, hon
cradle and determined, and are prob.
ably thoroughly aroused by the abuse
heaped upon them. Lei the Demo,
cratic party, or any other party, con.
slider we'll before it attempts to read
such a worthy element out of the
party for simply demanding a just
recognition of their rights"

THE A UNIVERSITY.

THE catalogue of the University
Il of North Carolina for 1889-'9O
is before US, shows 200 students, an
increase of Is over last year. The
law school is aourishing, having 33
students. The large number of post
graduates (l4) shows that our young
men are seeking higher instruction.
The medical and pharmaceutical de-
partment, under DR.. R. H. White
head, will be opened in September
next. We note that department of
civil, electrical and mining engineer
ing r to be opened, also. Large
and valuable additions of apparatus
have been added to the department
of physics, chemistry and natural his
tory. A new course, leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Letters, estab-
lished in which all studies after the
first year, except English, are cleo,
tive, thus giving additional opportun-
tiles for the choic9 of studies looking
peculiarly to the business the student
intends to persue. We are glad to
see the University growing IN eff
cheney and numbers.
