THE ELECTRIC CARS.
The Wheels on Some Are Found to Be
Too Light.

The electric cars had rough day OF it
yesterday. Several broke down on the
University line. The wheels are not
substantial enough for such big cars.
At Vernon Yesterday one of the cars
jumped the track and was more or less
injured. A lady standing on the rear
platform was thrown to the ground with
great violence. 1t is feared that she is
hurt internally. Later reports are to
the effect that she is not 30 seriously
hurt as was at first feared.

telegram are apparent.

THE Sunset Telephone company has
made an application to the city countil
to Law their wires underground. This
move is made for their own protection,
as they find that the wires of the Elec-
trio Lighting company interfere with
their circuits. This is a step in the right
direction.

SURE DEMOCRATIC STATES.
DOUBTFUL STATES,

This would leave, for states surely
Republican, III electoral votes.
This is, of course, less than they will
receive. But taking all the causes
likely to determine the votes Of the
states we have marked doubtful into
the count, and we think it would be no
more than fair to claim one-third of the
doubtful electoral votes for the Demo-
cratic party. We should then have the
following result:
Democratic electoral votes ...............26 $50
Republican electoral votes. ............ ....1 S4
Democratic majority. ........................ 70
One of the greatest absurdities in the
world is to attempt to setof the McKin-
ley victory in Ohio against the over
whelming Democratic triumphs in New
York, Massachusetts and Iowa. The
late elections have demonstrated the ex-
istence of a tremendous Democratic cur
rent, and nobody knows this fact more
thoroughly than the Republicans. They
can take Ohio and welcome, but the
fact remains that the really pivotal
states are safely Democratic.

gusteo th it as an issue, hence their
disposit, c3to ignore it. Both the old
parties az practically the same on the
tariff Both are virtually controlled
by the money power, and they dare
not go contrary to the dictates of this
power. They are not going to adjust
the tariff laws, for to do that would be
to settle the only pretended difference
between them and render them help
less for want, of something to divide
the people. To divideis their only hope
to enslave us. Their continued howl
over the tariff has kept the people blind
as to other more important issues.
Money is power. The Capitalization
of money is the Capitalization of power.
National banks have done more to cen
tralize capital than all else combined.
Members of the most gigantic trusts
are also members and stockholders in
national banks. They can contract or
expand the circulating medium at will.
1t is said that ''they can at a single
days notice act together with such
power that no act of Congress can re-
sist their decision" What have the
old parties said about the national
banks? Other matters of much less
Importance have been the subject of
long and laborious messages, but on
the subject of national banks they are
as silent as a tomb
In conclusion, if THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER will show how and why the
tariff is a more vital issue than the ma
tional banking question, it will be more
satisfactory than a mere statement of
this truth" I do not make these sug-
gestions to create any heated discus
sion, but through pure motives. be-
lieve that such important questions
should be discussed in a cool and de-
liberate manner, for ''to reason with
the angry is like whispering to the
deaf" Yours fraternally,

Papers That Are True to the Peoples In
terests Should be Patronized.
We are entering a mighty conflict.
The usurpers who have enslaved labor
and seized the reins of government,
though comparatively few in number,
are entrenched in office. They have
summoned to their aid all the preju-
dices of ignorant conservatism and the
mercenary venality of subsidized intel
ligence In the battle for the emanci-
patton of industry. the press is to be
the most important factor. The great
dailies of the country have almost with
out exception steadily and insolently
opposed all reform measures advanced,
and a host of lesser satellites through
out the country who move in obedi-
ence to the same forces have echoed
their ratings.
Many of themost influential religious
and agricultural journals, which have
hitherto been admitted as confidential
advisors to the homes of the people. are
opening their columns to long disquisi-
tions on 'honest money" and "class
legislation, " and pleading the cause of
vested rights" and business inter
ests, " while einsolently refusing old time
friends and supporters the privilege of
presenting the cause of the people, a
few papers have through many years
of adversely, struggling against power
ty, calumny and ridicule, been true to
the cause of the great common people.
And to-day reform papers are spring
ing up all over the country, many of
them edited with conspicuous ability,
devoting more space and thought to a
discussion of vital issues in one edition
than the so-called ''great papers" do
in half dozen. The duty of all true
friends of reform is to lend hearty
support to the papers which fight for
their principles is so plain that it ought
not to be necessary to urge it upon
them. Their duty to promptly with
draw their support from all papers
which resort to falsehood and scurril-
GUS abuse and ridicule of reform meas
ures and their advocates, is equally
plain. Support your friends and refuse
aid and sustenance to the enemy

Now what we want is something that
will be the greatest good to the greatest
number.
Our correspondent thinks it would
be unjust for the farmers to demand
money at per cent. while the favored
class have been borrowing it these
many years at per cent. 1t seems
that he is a sincere believer in that
passage Of the Scripture which says,
take from him that hath the talent
and give to him that hath the TO-"
Again, he seems to think that the
Ocala Convention was not cautious
enough in setting forth their declara-
tion of principles.
[ think it would be better if he would
first cast the beam from his own eye,
and then he could see more clearly
how to cast themote out of his brothers
eye.
Our correspondent has challenged
the world on his principles, but I think
if the land loan bill, according to the
dictates of this gentleman, was enacted,
that it would be class legislation in
every sense of the word.
If have made any misstatements
concerning his speeches, I beg to be
corrected &. A. b.

CURRITUCK HEARD FROM.

CURRITUCK, NJ.
Mr. EDITOR:-I read in your issue of
June 10Th reply to an Allianceman
by B. J. N. He says that he hardly
dares to write again, and inmy humble
opinion it would be better for the gen
eral public if he would decline writing
again, on such topics as his. He also
says that every free man has right
to an opinion of his own. So he has,
but he ought to be very careful if he
is an Allianceman, how he expresses it
concerning the Sub-TreasuFy and Free
Coinage bills. 1t is my candid opinion
that his speech is very poor fuel to add
to the fire of reform He also says
that if all are ruled out who do not be-
lieve in those two bills, that he is afraid
the Order will lose many valuable
members I think the man who does
not believe in either of those bills had
better divest himself of the Alliance
uniform at once, and quit practicing
are a great many weak-minded men
who will allow themselves to be led
astray by such speeches as his.
Again he asks: /" Is it not possible
that many who were in favor of the
Sub-Treasury and Free Coinage bills at
the time of the Ocala Convention, who
will be quite different at the next cleo
tion2"
True it is; there are many men to-
day who are like the Israelites, who
said: "Give us gods of our own, for it
would have been better for us to have
stayed in Egypt than to perish in the
wilderness. +"
Again our correspondent thinks that
if the cotton was stored in government
warehouses, the spinners would be
aware of the fact and would hold back
until the farmers were bound to sell,
and they could buy at reduced rates.
But he don't seem to know that with
sufficient volume of currency placed
within the reach of rich and poor alike,
that every pound of cotton will be con-
sumed annually He then offers
land loan bill, which he thinks will
answer for the Free Coinage and Sub
Treasury bills, both, claiming that his
bill provides for the farmer to borrow
money to raise his crops on, instead of
borrowing it to sell it on.
l may be wrong, but think there is
as much in selling your produce, as
there is in growing it. His plan also
excludes the well to-do farmer and the
renter. He claims that man owning
300 acres or more, with mortgage on
1t, or without sufficient funds to run
his business should not have the bene-
fitof the law, but let him sell off enough
to raise the mortgage or run his farm.
l think there are very few men who
will support a bill which does not bene-
tit themselves; besides, where is the
farmer owning 300 acres of land, who
has five or six children also, who is
willing to dispose of a single acre of it?

doesn't expect to work in the corn field
but climb up some other way besides
the right way. I have pulled off my
coat and expect to roll up my sleeves
and vote for the laborer or no one, as I
have done in part heretofore. He must
preach my cause and he must work
and act it in and out of the corn field.
Now let me say don't keep many
of your papers at home, I want every
body to subscribe for it and read it.
The time is fast coming when the
| Scriptures will be fulfilled: ''The meek
shall inherit the earth Blessed are
the peace-makers for they shall be
called the children of God" Read the
5th chapter of Matthew, brethren, and
all those against us let them read over
and over this and all the rest of the
Bible and study it and see where Is
their part and parsel. Moses was the
meek man who led the children of
Israel out of Egypt and from under
Pharaoh the great man who caused
the ten plaques to come on his people.
| Now what is to befall us with the mil
lionaires as our leaders9 SPAWN, cold
and hunger. Let the reform come and
let us stand like Moses did for deliver
ance from under the yoke of money
kings. Our Alliance is pushing on
to victory by trading with those
at the helm. We sympathize with
those who have lost house, horse or
anything by sickness or disaster, and
we should start a different plan to
meet those losses. l think this a good
plan: Take five cents of the quarterage
| that is left in the treasurer's hands Of
the Sub-Alliances and send, it to the
Business Agent of the State and pay
out at that rate for every good member
cents to his part, and let the Alliance
having such unfortunate members
make it's complaint to said business
agent or some one else appointed to
attend to it, that the PERSONS loss may
be sent in money or trade with the
State Business Agent to that amount,
as the case may be. One case may re-
qure S., another $780, This should be
according to the loss or need of the
person. The matter should not extend
to large farmers because they ought to
be sustained within themselves.
Ireceived the picture and think it
can't be bettered by the opponents Of
the Alliance.
Success to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
and it's principles. 1 get every one to
subscribe that can.

THE NATIONAL BANKING LAW.

It is doubtful if one person in every
ten, even at this late day, understands
the enormity of this most Infamous,
high-handed, premeditated robbery of
the people, or what it has cost the toll
ing millions in money Or muscle up to
date.
The amount of actual cost which can
be figured direct, almost kno ;ks the
bottom out of the multiplication table
and staggers belief, while the indirect
losses are far too great for the average
mind to grasp.
Let us turn this monster, this mod
ern Juggernaut, over and examine his
mechanism, see wherein his strength
for evil lies and whence it came. Tt is
geared toplow deep. 1t was so designed.
It has accomplished what was intended
by it's authors-the enslavement of
American labor. 1t is the child of
avarice, conceived in sin and born in
iniquity.
Bankers regarded the greenback as
their enemy. From the standpoint of
avarice it was. It cost the people no
interest, could not be cornered, was
good anywhere, and everywhere it
went was sunshine and gladness. Bank
ers look to the peoples misfortunes for
their harvests They thrive on indi-
vidual or national calamity. Financial
miasma they hail with delight, revel
in it's slime.
Bankers held conference and de-
termned that the greenbaek should be
destoyed, let it cost what it would to
doit. Gold must bemade the standard,
as gold was limited in quantity, was
not then, never had been, and never
would be in the hands of the people. 1t
was a creature the bankers could con-
troll, and by controlling it through it
they could control all values, wreck
fortunes, destroy homes, blast hopes,
and force the bodies and souls of mil
lions of men and women on the market
to be knocked down to the highest
bidder.
All of which they have accomplished
step by step under the glare of vic
torious patriotism, hid from themasses
behind mountains of political prejudice.
This infamous conspiracy was per-
fected, enacted into law, and fastened
its poisonous fangs on the holy politic,

all his provisions; meat, -four, coffee,
syrup, and all his kitchen furniture
consumed by fire. The loss to him is
very great. We therefore appeal to
Alliances throughout the State to con-

IS 1T WISE E7-THE TARIFF.

BEAVER DAM, n. c., June 20, 81.
Mr.. EBIToR:-I your last issue you
had an article on tariff reform. con-
slider your warning well worthy of the
attention of reform readers, and agree
with you in what you say in regard to
the tariff except when you assert that
cit is, indeed, the most vital financial
question that is now before the people,
or that can come before the people. "
To say this is to say that it is the great
est cause of so much depression in
American Industries, and that it is the
great cause of so much mortgage in
debtedness and loss of homes among
laboring people. That the tariff is an
important issue no conservative think
ing man will deny; but it passes into
insigniicance when compared with the
currency question. Twenty-Five years
ago money was plentiful and the people
practically out of debt. The tariff was
as high then as now. Just why it has
plundered so many homes and made so
many paupers within the short space
of twenty-five years and is now the
most vital issue that can come before
the people, is somewhat difficult to
understand. Why did we not feel the
effects of the tariff then? Because the
volume of money in circulation was
sufficient to meet the demands of trade
and do the business of the country
What then has been the greatest cause
Of so much discomfort and suffering
among industrious people? Answer: !:
The contraction Of the currency. Re
suit: Money rises in value, everything
else declines. Then there is a disposi-
ton to hoard money which causes a
high rate of interest. It creates a sys-
tenn Of which bankers are the high
priests and the people it's victims
Such system cripples all industries
and robs people who are in debt. Is it
any wonder then that the abolition of
national banks was placed first in our
demands?
1t is true we demand just regula-
ton Of the tariff. We know that under
high protective tariff manufacturers
can form trusts and combines to levy
tribute on the people and that this has
been one of the many causes to bring
about the present alarming conditions.
We further know that it is useless to
ask tariff reform of either of the old
parties. 1t has been so presented to
the people, by tadpole politicians, that
it has served as a mere sham to divide
the people. 1t has been a theme of
wrangling from the candidates for
President down to the township con-
stable, still it lis question that nine
tenths of the people know nothing
about. Since this is the case, many
friends of reform have become dis
