dorses all of our demands except the
Sub Treasury bill"
I'VE agree with u brother as to
other things and have never said a
word against his record on other mat
tiers The Sub Treasury bill was the
thorn in our side, hence the criticism.
TIE following commend the editorial
in part or entirely:
A suns ;riber a. Battleboro writes:
81 enclose you one dollar to pay for
one more year, for a paper that is pre-
sided over by a man who has the
courage of his convictions and is not
affrai to defend his princi pies even
if he has to hit big men in high places.
Continue to pile on the "agony
while you have truth and justice on
your side"
A well known member of the Ali
ance at Olin, N. c., writes as follows:
al endorse all that you have said
about Senator Vance and the Sub
Treasury matter. Hit 'em again"
A subscriber at Ringwood, N c.,
writes to say that every member of
the Alliance should read Harry
Tracy's reply to Hon. R. Q, Mills on
the Sub Treasury bill. He adds:

will stand by you"
A subscriber writes and asks this
question: "Why should Senator
Vance antagonize the Sub Treasury
DILL, the principles and purposes of
which he has been contending for
during the last ten years ?
A friend at Vaughans, N. O., ex
presses his approval Is follows, al
have just read your editorial, Sen
ator Vance and our Critics | hasten
to write to say that [ most heartily
endorse your bold stand, your fearless
and uncompromising defence Of the
principles of u noble order. If [
was not a subscriber this would in
duce me to become one. Indeed this
independence is by no means a recent
characteristic of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, but has manifested itself
since the birth OF the paper, and this
has endeared and won the hearts of
the toilers of this country, and has
secured for the paper an immense cir
culation."
A brother writes from BERTHE county
to say that the editorial concerning
the Sub, Treasury bill "did him good
all over"
A member of Silver Greek Alliance
writes that they fully endorse the
Sub Treasury bill and think "Our
did wrong when he left it to it's
fate.
A subscriber at Laurinburg, n. c.,
says: "It has been my duty two or
three times in the past few days to
defend you against the criticisms of
merchants and professional men and a
few unthinking farmers concerning
your editorial criticizing the attitude
of Senator Vance on the Sub Treasury
bill. | endorse your views Ver5atlna,
except where you said Senator
Vance should work for the bill
whether it was constitutional or not,
and l don't think you meant that just
it was written"
A. subscriber at Cary, N. c., writes
as follows: 81 link your second ed
on our Junior Senator one of
the Dol lest and most fearless articles
in North Carolina journalism. At
first | was afraid that The PRoGREs
FARMER would not be able to
stand the fearful pressure, and | sat
down and wro.e an article which |
thought would aid you, but after
reading your second editorial l
concluded that | need not send 1t.
[ shall try to have resolutions passed
1T tt next meeting of my Alliance
endorsing your position, and | think
every Alliance in the State that has
approved of the Sub Treasury plan
do the same"
A subscriber at Mt. Mourne, N. O.,
eve are utterly at a loss to
account for the action Of Senator
on the Sub Treasury bill,
he is our own beloved Vance,
We are deeply panied on account of
lis action"
A subscriber writes from High
Point to say: "You are doing 10 well
With your paper that 7 will not try
