" Thy Way, Not Nine"

1t is human to shrink from pain, but
it is divine to suffer the will of God
willingly. We eulogize strength of will.
An "iron WILL" how envied! Very
good is it if found in the way of right
eousness. Then the stronger the bet
ter. Worthy in that event of the one
who set his face steadfastly to go to
Jerusalem. Otherwise, the more reso-
Lutte the more devilish. The more i'm
perious, the stronger, more terrible and
destru ctive the recoil. Satan has a
mighty will. Alas! what ruin, what
woe! The safest prayer that can arise
from our "heart of hearts," and the
one working for the greatest safety, is
that of our Redeemer: "Thy will be
DONE" and that, too, however rough
the path, dark the night, or heavy the
burden.
Thy way not mine, 0 Lord!
However dark il be;
Lead me by thine own hand;
Choose out the path for me-
dare not choose my lot;
/ would not If / might;
Choose thou for me, my God
SO shall walk Alright"
When perplexed as to duty, cowed
Nv" "' w any VI iiic ooiio"o, i0pol-
lious as to disappointed hopes, de-
feated purposes, irremediable losses,
or thwarted desires, may the image OF
the great Burden-bearer in Gethsemane
rise before the mind, strengthen and
quiet the heart. If thorns in the flesh
are extracted, grace sufficient will be
granted to 80 endure as that larger
blessing shall accrue to the sufferer and
greater glory to him. The formation

SOUTH CAROLINA RESOLUTIONS

Mr.. EDITOR:-The following resOlu-

Alliance at a regular meeting held at
Bennettsville, S. c., on Oct. I'd, 1891,
and requested to be published in the
Marlboro Democrat, Cotton Plant,

them to request all papers friendly to
the cause to please copy.
WHEREAS, The leaders of the OppO-
sition to the Alliance demands are do
ing all in their power to break down
the confidence in our leaders. There
fore be it
ReSOlred, That this County Alliance
do endorse the stand that Bros. Macune

in hearty sympathy in this great work
that they Are engaged in.

ANOTHER STATE IN LINE.

Michigan State Alliance was held a
few days ago. From the way they did
you may put it down that another
State is solid for reform. They have
tried political promises long enough.
Like the other States they have voted
hopefully for 25 years. But instead of
Improvement they had the opposite.
They now feel that duty to themselves,
their families, their homes demands
prompt and effective measures. The
following resolution was passed unani-
mously:
Resolved, That the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union Of the State Of
Michigan heartily indorse the Ocala
platform, and further declare to the
oppressed tOilers of America that we are
unyielding in favor of the independent
political action as outlined at the Gin
cinnati conference.

FAIRNESS

It is real refreshing to find a North
Carolina paper here and there that will
treat men and measures with fairness.
1t requires some moral courage to do
it, but in this day of malicious lying
and abuse some few have it. We ex-
tract the following from the Gastonia
Gazette, one of the cleanest and best
State papers:
"Second, they say Col. Polk declared
ont there that he was a Union man and
went into the war because his State
went. There's no harm in that. Robt.
r, Lee and Zeb Vance. if we mistake
not, felt and acted about the same way
in those stormy days Along with all
this they charge the President of the
Alliance with saying that he joined the
Confederate army for the purpose OF
aiding the other . side all al he e could 20 6s,ia Tc

THE SUB-TREASURY.

The following bit of bright logic
against the practicability of the Sub
Treasury is from the Kinsey, Kans.,
Mercury:
Suppose that on the first day of
January, 1892, wheat should be worth
81, as many believe will be the case,
and suppose we had our Sub Treasury
scheme in full operation, as contem-
plated under the bill prepared by the
Alliance committee.
Nov then, Farmer French brings
in 1, 900 bushels of wheat and deposits
it in the government warehouse. He
believes that wheat will be worth more
than a dollar a bushel in the next year,
Oh he would not put a grain of it in the
government building. He puts it in
and gets his $500 in certificates, which
pass as money, and to all intents and
purposes are money. Now, suppose
that Russia, the East Indies and other
wheat-prOducing countries raise a big
crop the following harvest, or from
some other cause wheat goes down in
stead of up, so that at the end of the
year wheat is worth only 65 cents a
bushel; Mr.. French is not bound to do
anything to make up the deficit to the
SONC1 1IIIlC1ID. IL OIl1lpIy 4SOO liz 8 III
be sold at auction, and the government
pockets the loss. If wheat goes up 10
cents a bushel, he, of course, ONE in
and sells, and pockets the gain"
The Topeka Advocate takes the Mer-
cury up on it's lap and tells it that it is
such an unusual thing for wheat to be
harvested in January either in this or
foreign countries that rerlly is nothing
it its objections. 1t says:
I'VE would call attention in the out
set to the season of the veal selected
from which to date the beginning of
the above calculations. 1t will be news
to the farmers that their products are
harvested and made ready for market
In January-a season of the year when
the spectators and gamblers usually
have everything cOrnered, and when
prices as a consequence rule high in
order that they may unload. Every
s]uppOsitiOn of this writer from which
he draws his differences u~nfavOrable to
the Sub-Treasury plan, is purpOsely in
direct opposition to existing facts. This
is a violation of all rules of legitimate
argument, and cannot be passed un-
noticed. 1t is a fact, of common Obser-
walton, that under existing conditions
the markets are so manipulated by the
gamblers who fix the prices of all agri-
cultural products, as to render them
always unremunerative at harvest
time. At the time when the wheat,
corn and cotton are ready to market,
prices are invariably lower than at any
other season of the year-a fact which
the Kinsley philosopher must know,
and which he must have purpOsely
instead of fairly presenting the condi-
tions as they actually exist, is cunning
ly constructed for purposes of decep-
ton"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-10-20

that he is a silly, loot and a hopeless
idiot. His own statement is, that he
never uttered q sentiment in any ofhis
North-rn speeches that he would not
make in his Southern speeches. And
we have no reason to doubt it's truth.
This we have written for the sake of
fairness and justice. Unprincipled and
relentless persecution can never accom-
plish good. 1t can only widen the
chasm and broaden the breach between
different elements"
