sin for US to be imposed upon as we

except in a few favored localities. 1t
is significant also that the New York
assessors agree as to the growing
wealth and population of the principal
towns and cities. Certainly the New
York Farmers League has not been
organized any too soon.-Farma and
Home.
The farmers of Massachusetts, or
ganized political league last fall and
elected from every agricultural dis
trict a Senator pledged to support a
bill prohibiting coloring oleomargarine
like butter. This, with one or two
friends among the city senators, gave
the farmers majority. The bill
passed the House by an almost unani
nous vote. But in the Senate two
members went oack on their pledges
and on their record, so that the meas
ure was lost by a tie vote. Oleo
money did it, backed up by trades
among the city politicians. Language
cannot express the indignation of
farmers at being thus sold out for the
third time. They prop Sc to turn the
politics of the State upside down next
fall, if necessary to do so to elect an
honest butter Senate. The farmers
demands in this case are so fair and
just that workers in other vocatiOns,
as well as professional and business
men, are ready to unite with the Mas
sachusetts Farmers League in elect
ing a legislature that will be true to
the interests of the people.

Brother Hayseeders, what do voU
think of such records, and such book
keeping?
Remember that it is not Old Fogy
that says this. l am quoting word
for word and give the chapter and
verse of their own publications and
made by sworn officers.
This reading is so entertaining that
L will quote you more of it. (Same
page): "These deductions will leave
81, ,39, 999,750 as the amount received.
There was $4,000 in notes received
by the Treasurer and not issued but
returned as statistical.
These differences, amounting to
$95, 900, will account for an aDDarent
issue to this extent, as shown by prior
account.
| undertake to say that | could fill
an entire issue of The Progressive
FARMER with quotations of similar
character. But have given enough
to show why it is that different
figure are frequently given.
We all remember when the crv
resounded all over our land: Turn
the rascals out. "Let US examine
the books" " We will expose the
frauds" At last the party in power
was turned out. Was there an exami-
nation of the books ? Did Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration expose the
frauds? ? Or did his administration
hob-nob with banks, bankers and gov
ernment bookkeeping experts? ?
The people were disguised with his
pretensions, they wanted the debt ex.
planned, the currency increased but
he gave us tariff, and gave the peo-
pies money to banks to speculate on
to fatten on-and left us Hayseeders
to grow rich on a discussion of the
tariff. The radicals came into power
with a great flourish of trumpets as to
what they would do, and it is the
same old story; revision of the tariff
and windy talks on overproduction.
Let us Hayseeders, as did our Revo-
lutionary sires, hurl these vampires
the politicians-from power.

A MCDOWELL BROTHER GIVES

Mr.. EDITOR I want you to publish

l ask this is because [ want all the
brotherhood who read The PROGRESS.
I'VE FARMER to think seriously over
this matter Bre .hren, there is too
small number of the members of
our great order who read our organ.
[ want every member of our order
who can read at all to read The Pro.
GREssIvE FARMER for the next six
months. During this time our mem
bers ought to be educated how to vote
intelligently The time is upon us
when we ought to begin to consider
how We cast our votes. Brethren, let
US put all our talent at work among
our own members at each Sub ALI
ance. If we have a member who
cannot find one dollar to pay for The
PRoGEEssIVE FARMER twelve months,
let US ask them for fifty cents for six
months, or twenty-five cents for three
months. Brethren, l am going to try
to get every member of our Alliance
to read our organ. I want to ask
every Alliance in our good Old North
State to appoirt or elect one inAuen-
tial lady in the respective Alliances
to get up suoscr ptions for The Pro
GREssIvE farmer Sisters, help to

Sisters, can't you help in this great

many ways. If you cannot help in
any other way, please let your pray

the powers of darkness in this grand

MAKE THEM DO RIGHT OR LET
THEM STAY AT HOME.
OK1sKo, N. c., April, 1880.

OKISKO, N. g., April, 1850.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I have always held
and am more than ever convinced
that the railroads should be made to
stand in the same position before the
same position before the law that
private individuals do, but as matters
now stand railroads like banks are the
especial pets of our naisrepresentatives
in our State and National Capitols.
Our only hope of relief is at the bal.
lot-box, the federation between the
Farmers Alliance and knights of
Labor will enable US to put our heel
upon the head of the hydra headed
serpent that would shackle and en-
circle us within the Shiny folds while
its poisonous fangs did its nefarious
work. We trust the many millions
of voters composing the federation
will stand shoulder to shoulder and
elbow touching elbow in one solid
phalanx and drive out every mothers
son of the Judases and Arnolds who
dare to further enslave us. We con-
fdently believe there are enough
patriots to save us from moral and
financial ruin; and that there are men
among US who cannot be bought that
will guard our interests at all times
and under any circumstances. Let US
endeavor to send such to the councils
of the nation. We evidently have the
life of the nation to consider Our
organization can compel the nomina-
ton of two men without asking the
aid of partizan assistance. "Court
house rings" must be crushed regard
less of party and corporations mode
to respect the rights, if not the inter
est of farmers and wage men. The
present condition of the country fnan-
cislly is without a parallel in it's his
tory, and such men as Thos. Jefferson
and Patrick Henry would be put to
blush at the conduct of public officials
at the Babylon " of this country
when there sis as much depravity to
the square inch as in ancient Babylon.
Oh for great moral revolution,
whereby transgressors may be taught
the errors of their ways.
The book of books puts man in his
true light when it says his heart is at
enmity with God, and when it saws:
"When the wicked rule, the people
mourn" but it is useless to quote
Scripture to such fellows; 1t is like
casting pearls before swine" How
ever in all seriousness, there will be
day of revolution when their i'll
gotten gains will only make the infer
nal regions the hotter, when neither
hope nor mercy will ever reach them.
Oh the depravity of the human heart.
1t is said to err is human and to for
give, divine; but when men wilfully
and maliciously violate the laws of
God they can but expect punishment
unless they heartily repent. When
we consider what a fine country this
is and how happy its citizens might
be made under the benign influence
OF Gods goodness and under laws en-

LETTER FROM DURHAM.

DURHAM, N. c., April Is, 1890.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Piney Grove Alliance,
No. 3O8, is the ivest of the live.
We nearly all read The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and quite a number of US
the National Economist We do a
large part of our trade through the
State Business agency and sell all our
tobacco at the Durham Alliance ware
house.
The grand work in which we are
engaged grows more interesting to us
every day.
A special meeting was called for
Saturday night, April 18th, to discuss
the Sub-Treasury bill" The largest
attendance ever seen at our Alliance
was present. Long before the hour
appointed for meeting the house was
full to overfowing of as good Alliance
ladies and gentlemen as are to be
found on the face of the earth.
Before opening the discussion the
brethren were trying to prepare a
note to the Durham Fertilizer Com
pany so that those who wished to buy
on time could get their guano After
working for sometime and getting
matters a little mixed, Bro. California
Massey magnanimously proposed to let
all those of his Alliance who wished
to buy on time have the money to pay
for their guano. This was generous
act and is highly appreciated by the
brethren. Bro. Massey is a good
Alliance man and an open-hearted
Christian and always comes to the
front when the necessities of the
brethren require it. Would that we
had such men all over this great coun-
try of ours.
On motion the Sub Treasury bill
was read and commented on by the
Lecturer, Bro. Geo. E. Pope, visit
ing brother, then made few remarks
which were to the point and well re-
ceived, after which Rev. P. H. Massey
made an eloquent speech of about an
hours length. He pointed out some
of the ways in which we, as produc-
ers, have been defrauded out of our
just and inalienable rights, and then
showed us that the sub treasury plan
would give us the desired relief [
shall not attempt to report his speech
1t was asgrand in conception, convincing
in argument, and was received by the
brethren with round after round of
applause.
At the close of the discussion it
was announced that a petition was
present for us to sign asking Congress
to pass the Sub-Treasury bill. 1t
seemed that every one wished to sign
it first. "Live or die, sink or swim,
survive or perish, we give our hands
and our hearts to this vote"
We are determined that no man
shall have our suffrages unless he ad-
vocates this measure or some other
that promises relief, with such zeal
that we can see and feel he is speak
ing from the heart, and not doing us
lip service only.
We believe our cause to be one for
which every Iaborer and producer
should arduously work and devoutly
pray. We expect to continue to work
and watch and pray on until the sun
of prosperity in all its full orbed
glory shines down upon US.
Yours fraternally,
@. W. MASSEY, Sec'y.
