Editorial Utteranccs From an Issue Of
President P0lk's Paper, the Progressive
Farmer. Raleigh, n. c.
The fellow who tries to make the
people believe that the sub-treasury
plan is unpopular with the people is
throwing away his time and labor
The idea is growing, growing; and it is,
of all the demands of the alliance, the
leading and most important one. We
believe we can safely say that ninety
five per cent of the alliance members
in the state are directly interested in it,
and are in favor of it being made into a
law. One thing about the demands is
this: The more they are warred
against by our friends" the stronger
our order becomes for them. Keep up
the fight, gentlemen
For the benefit of those who are so
anxious to know whether the alliance
is in politics or not, we would say that
the man in our organization who is not
order. The alliance members to-day
are better informed about the political
situation, and the causes of financial
depression, than any other class; but
the education of the masses has, COM
parativcly, Just begun. Remember,
though, we are in politics. just so far
as it is necessary to secure by our bal
lots men for our political offices who
are in perfect harmony with. and are
Interested in, our reform movement
and it cannot be expected that those
will be chosen who are not in accord
with our demands, whenever we and
our friends outside of the order are in
the majority. Yes, every true alliance
man is q politician and the majority
will rule. It is democracy.
1t seems very hard for democrats to
understand why the alliance in the
south cannot take the one plank of
their platform ''low tariff and make it
answer for every demand of our order.
If those who talk thus will read our de-
mands they will find that the tariff is
one of them, but not the leading one.
And we cannot see why all democrats
and republicans cannot accept our
demands as part of their platforms,
and with decided benefit to them. For
twenty-five years the members of tho
alliance have voted either the demo
cratic or republican ticket, the bosses
of these old parties fixing the platform
and we, like sheep driven to the sham
bles, have walked up and voted, and for
what? For men who have gone into
congress and assisted in fastening the
accursed banking laws upon our coun-
try, by which a few have been enabled
to oppress the many-by which our
crops have been forced on the market
when prices were lowest-by which our
lands have become greatly reduced in
value-by which farmer, no matter
how much land he owns. has to go as a
beggar or vassal to some other class,
and through them get pittance of a
loan of money If he needs it, and has to
pay enormous rates of interest besides
by this the mortgage system was en-
acted whereby q poor farmer has to pay
q rate of interest from p to 500 per cent

Something to Think or.

Doctor Chalmers says: Holiness
is stronger demonstration to my
mind OF the power OF God in the soul
of man, than any miraculous mani.
festation whatever.
No argument in favor Of Christian
ity is equal to its effect on men and
society.
To convert sinner into a saint ID
more than to raise dead body.
TO cleanse soul from TALL sin, Ia
more than to open blind eyes and I'M
stop deaf ears.
10 cure bad temper is more than
to cure cancer.
To bride and sanctify a mischiev-
Gus and lying tongue, is more than to
quench the fires OF ten burning Chi
Cages.
o. the hope OF the world is, that
where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound. Not that lightning
was swung under the sea, but that
Christ died. That is the miracle OF
miracles.

at the age of 80 years a single tree
will produce $50 to 400 pounds OF

The Lutheran church in the Fifpl

one Sunday, and they were success
in every way, says a Harrisburg writer
to the Philadelphia Press. The oc-
casion was made particularly joyous
by the presence OF parrot belonging
to a restaurant-keeper on Broad street.
The Sunday room was bcauti-

at intervals through the room were
cages of birds. There were canarics
and mocking- birds and as curiosity,

There were a number of addresses

voice was heard all the same. The
school had Just finished that touching
song from Gospel Hymns, No. 2,
called, Still There's More to Follow, :"
when the parrot thought it was time
to say something. Poking its head
between the bars, he looked sharply
at the superintendent and said in a
clear tenor voice: Two beers, there,
and a pretzel." The children laughed
and thought it was a good joke, and
some of the small boys interrogated
the bird concerning its desire for a
cracker. The superintendent succeed
ed in restoring order, and the minister
was about to say something when the
bird, now wound up, shOuted: Get

The boys laughed some more, and
their hllarity was further increased

the sweet singer and said in a tone OF
