LET GOVERNMENT own THEM
The ISufITOnds are Public
High ways.
And Should be Operated
as Such.


The Ketchum Keystone publishes
the fol- wing regarding the railroads.
1t contains some hard nuts for mon
opoly organs to crack, and expresses
our views exactly. 1t is worthy of
careful perusal and earnest thought:
A circular issued a few days
ago by the leading railroad magnates
of the county contained these words: ::
1t is idle folly to longer ignore the
fact, to patent to every railroad man
ager, that the agrarian agitation for
the ownership of the railroad by the
government has been prolific Of evil.
1t has drawn the support of some of
the ablest men in the nation; it is no
longer easily combatted, and it has
gone to such lengths that we now
find not only the Knights
of Labor and Farmers Alliances
pushing the agitation, but men who
are stockholders and directors Of
railroad are becoming converts to the
heresy. We can no longer quiescent-
ly allow this agitation to proceed.
The folly Of the proposition must
be exposed the public press must be
used to oppose the measure; the best
thought We can control must be ex-
ercised in defence of the right to
own, manage and direct our owr
property free from the dictation Of q
government that may be changed
every four y ears.
The argumentative portion of the
above extract is cospicuous for its
weakness as the cloven foot OF mon
archy is prominent in the last sentence
quoted. A government that could
noe be changed at the will of the
populace would no doubt meet the
hearty approval of those lordly
beneficiaries and crime. They feal
an aroused public will recover back
the rights and property stolen from
: it by corrupt and Mammon- serving
: congresses when the public was crazec
} by was, and in their alarm admit tha
some of the ablest men of the natior
have been drawn TO the support O
government ownership and control o
railroads-equivalent to an admission
that the proposition is based upon

Founder OF tho Weiser Leader Killed.

Weiser Leader in 1882, was murder
ed at McMinnville, Oregon, Nov 29th.
Particulars are as follows:
McMinnville. Or. Nov, 30.--J. II.
Stine, editor of the Whiteson Advance
was shot last evening by N. G. Cook,
a section boss on the narrow gauge
railroad. Cook then shot himself
twice. Both men were killed instantly.
Stine, Cook and German section
hand had been to Amity on foot a
distance of three miles from
Whiteson. When about half way
back on their return, Stine walked
about ten feet in advance Of the others.
Cook quickly, without warning, drew
a Smith & Wesson pistol and fired
at Stine, striking him in the back OF
the neck and breaking the spinal
column. Turning the pistol on him
self he fred one shot into his breast,
missing the heart about two inches.
He then placed the pistol to his
temple and fired second shot through
his brain The section hand, thinking
his time had come started to run at
the first shot and did not stop until he
got to Whiteson. A squad Of men
returned and found both men dead,

D. c. Lockwood, one of the

that the taxes had been paid after the
assessment roll had been altered by
the state board and that the moneys
paid the Bingham county assessor

modestly refrained from expressing
an opinion as to whether Gould s

HOW IS THIS?

We have supposed for n long time
that the RObe8Onidn. of Lumberton
vas quite friendly to the Alliance.
But from recent editorials we must
conclude that it is something else.
Some days ago Hon. Jerry Simpson,
of Kansas, made four speeches in this
State by invitation. The AIliancemen
who heard his speeches were unani
nous in their approval Read this
extract from the RObesOuian editorial
and e if there is any evidence Of
friendship:
"This jerry is 40 fit man to instruct
Alliancemen and Democrats of North
Carolina what is best for them to do.
He is no Democrat or North Carolina
Allianceman-he is radically different
from bOth-he is a Jay-Hawking Kan
sas Republican Allianceman and assuCh
no friend to Southern principles and
ideas. This way Alliance orators have
of running into other States than their
w and debating to the people what
they should do has not turned out well
for the Alliance. It utterly failed in
Georgia and Mississippi and has nearly
wrecked the order in Texas"

A SHORT CROP.

To show how inconsistent and I'M
wise The demand of the colOred Ali
ance to have 81 per hundred for picking
cotton, We publish the following extract
from a letter published in the National
Alliance, organ Of the cOlOred Alliance,
written by a negro farmer in Alabama:
Il am a farmer, and have been for
many years, said Mr.. J. E. Mcdonald,
and | think [ know what / mean when
l state my belief that not more than
two thirds, or perhaps One-half, a crop
of cotton will be raised this year. The
early drOuth took away much of the
moisture which should have made a
top root, and since the last drOuth has
lett the ground so hot that rain will
scald the plant to death. Ihave heard
from Harris, Fort Bend, Walter, Bra
zOria. Wharton, Montgomery and
MatagOrda counties, and it is all the
same. I know plenty of men who
Will ue thankful for a third of what
they counted on, and if there is n
money In cotton this year 1t viii not
be for the farmer
Now that IS a fair statement. The
crop is going to be short and but little
prospect for high prices, though they
may be better than now. He admits
that there will be no money in cotton
to the raisers. This shows plainly that
it is impossible for our farmers to pay
any better prices for picking cotton.
They should positively refuse to do it
and pick all they can and hire 10 one
unless they are willing to pick at prices
that can be afforded.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-09-15

nothing from it in the political papers
and from the opponents of the Ali
ance." Our friend should ask the
political papers why they fail to pub
lish news when news is news.
AS yet we have not heard how
much the plutocrats pay for the ad-
vertising they are giving the Alliance
and some of the leading officers. Just
now the New York Morning Advertiser
is doing the lying and the other papers
are catching up the refrain.
The Concord Standard uses the
cuts of prominent men as photos of the
editors who will visit the Fair there
soon. A cut of john Jacob Aston has
the name of this scribe underneath.
These editors will dispose of DR.. Cook
at the proper time and sea hat he is
properly buried.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-09-15
WHY IS IT.?

The Farmers AdcOcute, Tarboro,
makes the following point in reference
to the Railroad Commission:
"Since the passing of the Railroad
Commission bill. not one word have
we seen in it's favor. l. it because a
farmer Legislature passed it! This bill
has not only proved a good thing to
our State. even for the short time it
has been in vogue, but it's future use
fulness can hardly be ascertained.
Every dog should certainly have his
dues. And who is benefited' Why
everybody, of course"
We must conclude that it was be-
cause the bill was passed by a farmer
legislature The six per cent. interest
bill Will be passed by the next legisIa-
ture. There will be no praise then
either, but it is not because our state

who have a flexible conscience, and
men with the same kind publish them
in their papers.
While on this subject we want to
ask some questions. II it is of sutfi-
Gent Importance to telegraph and pub
lish all over the country that an ALI
ance Congressman has actually Occu-
pied two rooms in q hotel, (Which
would not be startling even if true,)
then is it not time to tell some things
about nOn-Alliancemen? For instance:
how is it that Congressman go to
Washington poor, live in houses pay
ing more than their salary rent every
year, live in fine style and get rich at
the same time? How is it that a m N
a stay in Congress six years, live i'll
high style, pay mor than his salary
for rent and clear a hundred thousand
dollars? Why is it that q few honest
Congressman and Senator'S come home
as poor as they went, while others get
vastly rich? Somebody should give
that some attention. But if an Ali
ance Congressman spends the might at
a first class hotel and gets his hair cut
there is a great row made about it.
Yes, the poor farmers are paying for
this STYLE" They are also paying news
papers to lie on them, too.

BRIGHT WORDS.

The following exceedingly bright
article is from the Charlotte Neus:

turned up in Chicago, where, the dis
patches say, he has a suite of rooms in
the Grand Hotel. The poor farmers
about here are paying for all this

This is another style of lying thai

that they are able to keep up, but then

canard sent out for the purpose of
shaking the confidence of the people in
an Alliance lecturer. We do not refer
to 1t for the sole suppose of making a
denial, but to show our readers the
latest style in the art Of slandering in
nocent people. Bro. Simpson is a plain.
economical man. He has no use for a
suite Of rooms anywhere while lectur-
ing. The truth is, he is travelling
nearly all the time when not speaking
to a crowd and there is no occasion for
him to put on style at a hotel. But

special session Of Congress ought to be
called to see if there couldn't be some
arrangements made to increase the
regular standing army double what it
now is. Oh! it is dreadful.
Now for the facts. Col, Polk was on

was washed away. Is there any one
except Old man Scott who would ex-
pect the train to cross that big gap in
the road? However Col. Polk did get

made long and excellent spcechts. he
was not expected to speak long. He
did not "fy 30 Iowa with sockless
Simpson. Bros, Simpson and Wi;Ietts
went to one State, Col. Polk to another.
And last but not least, Jerry Simpson
did not say anything that could be
construed to mean social equality at
Charlotte OF any other place, One or
Two reporters did cOnstrue some Of his
words to mean that, but these re-
p0Tters have not told the truth in four
years and are not expected to. Thou
sands of reputable citizens and editors
have heard Simpson speak, many &
them not members Of the Alliance, and
none Of them heard anything Of the
sort. In this paper there is a state,
ment from one Of the best citizens of
the city of Charlotte, a man of I'm
doubted integrity and a nan who
never has anything to do with the ALI
ance. He says Simpson used no such
language.
Now why do we refer to this at ALI
Simply to show the ~littleness Of some
people and to expose the silly, hypo-
critical charges made against Alliance
men. Friends you are beginning to

H COTTON CROP.

Some four weeks ago we expressed
the opinion that the spectators were
more responsible for the low price Of
cotton than the size Of the crop and
gave figures to sustain the statement.
\ few days ago q statement of the
crop in sight showed a little over
500, 600 bales in excess of the + in
sight at this time last year, which
ought not reduce the price more than
80 or IS cents per hundred. Beyond a
doubt the cotton men of the world are
doing al! they can against the Sub
Treasury scheme. The low price of
cotton has been a powerful weapon,
but right now we see through the thin
covering. Within the p st two weeks
cotton has advanced three-quarters of
y cent, with another big crop Just
coming on the market. That neve
was heard Of before and plainly shows
that the values on cotton for the last
ten months were fictitious. We have
q large crop Of all kinds of grain this
year. If we had the Sub-TreaSury we
could holdsa portion of the grain and
realize some profit on it, which would
make up for low prices in the past, but
as it is u grain and cotton raisers
are at the mercy of the millionaires
and will be ieeced again. Moral: Vote
fOr your home and family.
