LETTER FROM FARMERS A
WIFE.

PERQUIMANs, Co., n. c., March 5, 80.
Mr.. EDITOR: After quite q while
spent in silence, we again knock at
the door for admittance The weather
has been open and warm all winter,
and our farmers have been taking ad
vantage Of it. They are preparing
for a crop in real earnest. They have
broken up land, mended fences, made
compost, and some of them have been
ditching. Well, it is good to be in
time about everything, so we will say
"hurrah for the farmers of old Per
quimans, and three cheers for them
the world over p for they are waking
up to their own interest and are going
to stand up to their own, and demand
their rights. There has been so much
said about hard times, that / am al
most ashamed of the words, but we
must not complain, but be thankful
to the Giver of all, that we are no
worse off than we are. Some of US,
it is true, could not pay up last year,
for two reasons: First, we did not

could not get anything for what we
did have to spare. " Every cloud has
silvery lining, and there is a brighter
side in the future that will certainly
be turned toward us, the poor down
trodden sons and daughters of the
tillers of the soil.

the way, who is he, any way? [
should like to take peep at him.
Sisters, what are you doing l
don't believe you are asleep, for farm
ers' wives and daughters don't get
time to sleep as much as they ought
to, at least don't, 1 am sure. There
is work for us to do, and we shall not
be found wanting. We can help in
many ways, and we must do it.
Success to The P PROGRESSIVE FARMER

be developed in an individual while
1t cannot exert any of the generous
and charitable instincts and practices
that frequently rule even in the most
wealthy individuals. While in the
State, even with the corruption that is
said to adhere thereto, the elements
OF continuous individual control can
not exist in our government, and the
selfshness akin to Individual greeting
cannot rule, and as for the ineffciencY
OF State management it is largely the
bug-a-boo of political place seekers,
being their only shouting capital to
use for personal advancement, for the
government affairs are as skillfully
carried on as any private or corporate
affairs, the grumblers to the contrary,
notwithstanding. Then to the en-
largement and extension of govern
ment business would naturally create
a closer and more systematic admins
tration of its affairs.
By close inspection of the sources
OF argument pro and con it will be
found that for government control
originates from persons allied and in
sympathy with the people, while those
against government control and IN
favor of corporate management eXc.d-
sively, are from persons whose intere st
and sympathies are predominated by
the corporate and money powers of
the land.
The question has many phases;
however, and requires careful study
and consideration, and movements for
or against should be carefully weighed
and judged before they are advocated
or entered into.-Farmers' Friend and
Grange Advocate.

WHICH IS BEST I

A problem that is rapidly forcing
itself upon the attention of the Ameri
can people is whether corporations
shall carry on the commercial trans,
actions, including transportation as
we'll as all other ramifcations of busi,
ness life, or whether the government
shall gradually assume control and
absorb the functions that are now car
ried on by corporate and are daily
more and more passing into the con-
troll and management of incorporated
companies.
Thomas w. Higginson in the Nation
says: There are a good many per
sons, l take it, who have reached just
this point of conviction-namely, to
hold that, if the government carries
on the postoffce fairly well, as it GER
tainly does, it may well undertake the
telegraph also, as in England; that if
it can conduct a bankrupt railroad,
through q receiver" it could also
carry on a successful one; that if a
city can supply its inhabitants with
water, it might as we'll try the expert
ment of supplying them with gas
How far this tendency is to 60, such
persons do not undertake to say-and
here stop short of Mr.. Bellamy and
his thorough supporters; but in the
meantime they are willing and glad to
put themselves on record as looking
in that same direction. They find
themselves confronted with situation
which has nowhere been better stated
than by a strong opponent of State
socialism, Prof. A. T. Hadley, of Yale
University. He says in the Political
Science Quarterly for December, 1888:
"Modern life demands organized bust
ness action. There are two great
organizations, either one of which can
manage it-organized capital, or or
ganized government. Ii this be the
real alternative, there certainly is an in
creasing number of persons who
would prefer to trust the government.
This is, at any rate, the present
writer's inclination.
In the consideration of this ques-
ton there are salient and important
points to consider. While Mr.. Hig-
ginson emphatically places himself on
record as in favor of government con-
troll, and perhaps the majority of the
thinking, reasoning people will coin
eide with him in the opinion, quite a
large number will take the other view,
claiming that the State lacks the per-
sonal individuality incentive that still
attaches to the corporation, no matter
how large its numbers, power and in.
fuence; also, that the State at best is
but ineficiently managed.
On the other hand the advoc2 2tes Of
s ate control show the immense dan
ger arising from the power of corpor-
ations, centered in the real individual
continuity Of management, and pos
sessing all the selfish greed that can

When tle masses of labor come to
understand the value of an economic
education, we will hear no more
wrangles about the relative value of
parties and candidates Oficers-elect,
no matter who they are, will know
what will be expected of them. The
great work of the hour in which in
tell gent labor should engage is to
educate the public mind on economic
questions; point out the errors of the
present system and unite with all who
are willing to substitute a better.
Labor must appeal to the virtue and
intelligence of the people and not to
their vices and their iguorance.-Ln-

DEACON SMITHS PROTEC TED
RAM.

Near the town Of @, in the State Of
Ohio, lives old Deacon Smith and his
wife Betsy on a fifty, acre farm. 1t
was great grief to them when their
only child went to the city to work,
but the land was too poor to support
all three, and John always eat
Than EagivipG 9;0Lo1 al nC.nl. Lc.,y
June wGes. the deacon sheared his pet
ram he put by the twelve pounds Of
fleece, thinking to buy John suit Of
Sunday clothes. A little later a
wool-buyer from Massachusetts pur-
chased the fleece, making a deduction
of one-third, however, for grease, so
that the deacon only received $2.4O
for his wool. The wool-buyer took
his purchase home with him and, ad-
ding two pounds of cotton at cents
per pound, for lining and wadding,
he had the raw material for a COM
plete suit of clothes into which it was
accordingly made, and in the autumn
returned in its new form to the cloth
ing store at G.
The day after Thanksgiving the
deacon and John started for the town,
taking with them the farm produce,
for which the following prices were
obtained:
25 bushels OATS at 21c....... ..............$5.25
bushels wheat at 78c $40
IS pounds beef hide, at &c NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1.3O
14O pound quarter beef, at SC c............... 700
3 dozen eggs, at 13c per dozen .............. 80
pounds butter, at 14c. per pound. ........... 20
Adding to this the $24O he had got
for the fleece and carefully saved, the
deacon walked into the clothing store
with $225O in his pocketbook, enough
he imagined to buy suit of clothes
and pay his taxes. But clothing was
higher than he thought. The price
of an imported suit was the amount
contained in his pocketbook, and
similar grade of American goods cost
exactly the same. "It is the duty that
makes goods so high" remarked the
clothier. "But Mr.. Mckinley told us
last fall that the consumer did not pay
the duty" objected the deacon. The
stoorekeeper smiled and the deacon
bought the suit, planning to pay his
half,yearly tax of Il so by cutting
thirty Eve cords of wood. So that all
the old man and Betsy have to winter
on is McKinley's speeches, and there
was more heat in them just before
election than is to be found in mid
winter. Truly
American farmers are slaves,
American mill-men are knaves;
And politicians don't care a
