MONEY for missionaries is not SUBJ

white men TO savage lands to become
savage themselves. but that seems
actually to have occurred in Liberia.
A missionary there has recently been
turned out of the service because he
chose TO sink to the level OF heathens
rather than try to elevate them. After
he was expelled from the mission
service he went to live with the
savages in their own uncivilized way.

ALETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
EARL ALLIANCE, No. 1917,
Dec. l9, 1889.

Mr. EDlToR:-Having seen nothing
in your valuable columns from this
Alliance, and very little from this
county, I beg a little space. We
have about fifty members with addi-
tions each meeting. Most of them
are strong in the faith and attend
regularly. Some time ago we were
favored with an excellent address by
DR.. L. w. Durham, our County Lee
turer, and a most earnest worker for
the Alliance cause.
1t is gratifying to see what progress
this organization has made in this
county There is scarcely a roof,
where the inmates are eligible, that
doesn't shelter an Allianceman. AL
ready its great mission has been seen
so visibly that dissenting voice can
scarcely be heard; already we see a
bright ray of hope Illuminating the
horizon Of the farmer.
A cooperative Alliance store at
this place is likely to become reality
in the near future.
Messrs. Belts q Austell have sup
piled us with car load of very five
hogs at an unusually low price, yet
we hope by next year our members
will be able to remove their smoke
houses from the valley of the Tennes,
see. We sometimes fear our brethren
lose sight of the fact that Alliance
men produce other things besides cot
ton that they, too, want living price
for their productions. {" In all things,
charity" brethren.
Fraternally,
J. H. QUINN.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-01-28

The people are waking up to the
fact that they have very grave ques-
tions to face. We think that with
the aid of an efficient lecturer our
order would quadruple its number of
members in short time.
While we all rejoice that our hon
orable brother has been chosen to fill
the responsible Office of President of
our National Alliance, we very much
regret the loss of our most excellent
Secretary.
There is a question before our p0o-
pie to-day that is being sgitated all
over our south land that [ will refer
to. 1t is the question of better postal
facilities. Many argue in favor of
penny postage but l consider that this
would not benefit the farmer and
laboring man as much as other meas
ures [ advocate. The greatest benefit
derived from penny postage would be
to business men in cities.
The changes which would be most
beneficial to the member of the Ali
ance would be, lst, Reduction of
fourth class postage to 4 cents per
pound, now 16 cents.
End, The establishment Of money
order Offices at all fourth class post
Offices.
3rd, The extension of the free de-
livery system to ali fourth class Offices.
Such deliver to be made to all persons
living in two miles of the Office.
A reduction of fourth class postage
would enable the farmer to purchase
many goods, seeds, ETC., at great
gain to himself over what he is com
PEELED to pay at home markets. This
is. especially true of all seeds pur-
chased. It would place him in near
contact with all markets.
The changing fourth class Offices to
money order Offices would greatly aid
the farmer. Giving him safe mode
of transmitting small sums of money
through the mails at small cost. The
fact that it is almost impossible to get
bills of small denominations, never
less than one dollar would make this
especially advantageous to the coun-
try The great risk-in sending SNAIL
or large sums of silver through mails
is another reason for this change.
While l do not urge the free delivery
system it would greatly benefit the
farmer. [ leave this with you, breth-
ren, think over it and let us hear from
you. Fra 'ernally,
YAD KIN KID.

than through forms Of law were not
employed. In 1866 the Secretary Of
the Treasury was instructed to further
contract the currency by buying up
5 millions of greenbacks each month
and burning them up. To obtain
these he was authorized to sell bonds
draO5ng interest and buy them. In
five years our currency had been re-
duced from 1868, 4O9,2l6 to less
than $795, 100000. 1t was not until
March Is, 1869, that an act was
passed pledging the United States to
pay all their obligators in coin. Up
to the passage of this act the bond
holders had made about $485, ,00O,0O
in the exchange.
The original contract was for their
payment (the bonds) in lawful money
either paper or coin. So said John
Sherman in the Senate, February
9th, 1867.
During the war when the bonds
were sold the government received
nothing but greenbacks, and O. P.
Morton, the great war governor of
Indiana, said: " We sold these bonds
for not more that so cents to the dol
lar and it would be unjust now to
contract to pay in coin.
July IA, 1870, Congress passed a

act dropping the silver dollar from
our coinage, and in 1875 they de,
monetized it. This, the elimination
of the scheme made the whole debt
payable in gold.
The whole scheme was for the
benefit of the banker and bond holder
and was done on the principle, to

MARVEL AT ITS GROWTH.
How the South's Progress is Viewed by
Leading Statesmen-TenY Years
of DEVELOPMENT.

The Manufacturers Record this week
publishes the views of number of
prominent public men upon the future
of the South, or upon the progress
made in the South since 1880, as set
forth III the Records special bankers
edition few weeks ago. Letters
are published from Vice-President
Morton, Secretaries Blaine, Noble
and Rusk, Postmaster General Wana-
maker and Senators Vest, Reagan,
Sherman and HawIey.
Vice President Morton is patriotic
ally glad that the great diversity of
industries in which the South is now
engaged, brings it in line with all
other sections, to the mutual benefit
of all.
Secretary Blaine in concise terms,
says that it IS patriotic work to
make known to the world the rich
end varied resources of the Southern
States of the Union.
Secretary Window finds the re,
markable commercial and industrial
growth of the South is exceedingly
gratifying, and regards it as a splen-
ded illustration of the benefcent re-
suits of the American principle Of
protection.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
says the industrial advancement of
the South is indeed marvellous. If to
the honest industry of its people can
be added courageous enterprise and
liberal thrift, then there can be no
question of the South's complete pros
perity.
Secretary Noble refers particularly
to the great advance in the education
al interests of the South, as shown by
the excess of enrolment iu the com
mon schools over the increase of pop
ulation between six and fourteen
years of age. He refers also to the
great landed interests the Interior De-
partment has under its control in the
South, which are being rapidly dis
posed of, and adds, the constant and
continuous increase In the demand for
homes under the general laws of the
United States is a>cheering indication
of the future of that portion of our
common country.
Secretary Rusk expresses his graft
fcation at the evidences furnished
him of Southern progress He intro
duces various subjects that will great
ly interest Southern farmers.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-01-28
No so

The several Senators whose letters
are published are also much grati6ed
to note the advancing prosperity Of
the South.
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, thinks
that the success of varied, mechanical
industries will induce a greater vsritv
of agricultural products and viii
bring the South that which ia most
wanted there-a home market for
home products. He trusts that pros
perity will settle the race conflict ON
a fair basis, for with a diversity of
pursuits the negro will become more
valuable, more independent and more
worthy of the rights and privileges of
freedom.
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut,
agrees with the record that the history
of many Southern towns in the last
five years reads like a romance. He
earnestly wishes that more capitalists
would 60 into his native State, North
Carolina, whose ranges of climate,
soils, fauna, and fora and minerals
are not equaled by those OF any other
State.
Senator Vest says there is not in
the history of the world a progress so
marvellous as that of the Southern
people since the war, and when we
consider the circumstances which have
environed the South since the war,
the increase of material wealth is
without parallel in the history of
nations. If the charges made by the
partisan press of the North be true,
tbat the Southern people are system
atically engaged in Expressing the
negro, and that they spend their days
in scheming for the purpose and their
nights in murder and intimidation,
then they are beyond question the
most remarkabls race of people who
have existed upon the face of the
earth. If these charges were true it
would follow that the Southern people
are able to violate all the laws which
properly govern social and economic
conditions and, at the same time, at
tain degree of prosperity which
amazes the world.
