u THANKS.
it at once

To many Of our subscribers we extend
our sincere thanks, not only for their
prompt responses to our calls in send
ing in their own renewals, but many
brethren have put themselves to the
trouble of looking up their neighbors
who were behind and those who were
not taking the paper at all, and sending
in their James with their orders accom-
panied by the cash. We cannot too
highly commend their actions to other
brethren. When you read this ask
yourself if this is meant for you, And
if you know it cannot be, don't let an
other week pass before you can claim
it, as we can send the paperGlext week
only to paid-up subscribers. If you
have not paid up, pay up this week or
your paper will stop. We regret to do
this, but you cannot blame us. We
have given you fair warning.

READ THIS.

AS this is the last copy Of THE Pro
GREssvE FARMER that several of our
subscrib rs will receive until they pay
up, we will state that we will keep on
file in this office a copy of this weeks
mailing list, which shows the date of
expiration of every subscriber. We
will go over the list and mark the
amount due us opposite the name of
each one in arrears, and we trust you
will not conclude that we have can
celled the account because we cannot
send the paper longer without your re-
mittance. But remember we have run
our credit to accommodate you, and
that we expect you to be as prompt in
settling this amount as you have ex-
pected us to be in sending the paper.
We need it, and trust we may receive
it at once.

handles long enough to answer the
question. Itdon't pay the farmers, the
merchants the mechanics. But it does
pay the crop spectators, the railroads,
the bankers and the politicians. 1t is
making millionaires of many of them.

than the tariff?

any considerable portion of the pro
ceedings of the National Alliance this

not drawn a sober breath nor told the

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There is talk of building an ALI
ance tobacco factory at Greensboro. A
meeting was held a few days ago and
the idea discussed.
See notice of appointments by
district and county lecturers in this
issue. Read them and get ready to go
to the speakings. Get your neighbors
to go; it will do them all good.
Andrew Jackson said that the
national banking system would give
them a chance to make money scarce
or plenty at pleasure. That is one
reason you sold your cotton at 7 cents
this fall.
It is said that the independent
vote in Kansas this year was larger by
$4,000 than it was last year. But the
marriage of the two old parties made
them have the largest vote. Marriage
is a wonderful thing, anyhow.
+ Thomas Jefferson said that the
national banks were more dangerous
than standing armies. Jefferson did
not live to see the banks as they now
exist, but he knew the result. But
then some will say that jefferson was
a demagogue.
~ Salmon P. Chase said the great
est mistake of his life was his agency
in procuring the passage of the national
banking act. It was a mistake or
something. Perhaps it was a criminal
act, for it has made some people rob
bers.
~ The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is not
up to the standard in variety of mat
ter this week. President Folks mes,
sage takes up a good deal of space
usually devoted to news. But we are
sure our readers will find the message
very interesting and instructive.
- In one of our exchanges we notice
that a correspondent, in giving his
MANY s why he is an Alliance
man, says for one, that he is opposed
to men buying wind and calling it cot
ton, wheat, pork or tobacco. Right
YOU are brother, says the Tarboro Ad
UOc0te.
- We had hoped that the old chest
mt about "Does farming pay?"' haC
been forever disposed of. But we SET

Tue sday morning, twenty-four hours
after The PROGRESSIVE FARMER went
to press.
Now how many newspapers in North
Carolina would have waited four days
to give an Alliance leader a chance to
say whether a thing was true or not?
We fear that the number is small.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER in this
instance could have put Gov. Holt
down very much in the estimation of
thousands of people in the State. But
we gave him time to come home and
write a card in which he emphatically
denied the interview. Now how is
that for fairness?
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-11-24
PRESIDENT PoLK's ADDRESS.

1t would hardly be proper for this
paper to say much about the annual
message of President Polk to the
National Council in session last week.
We merely rise to remark that every
man and woman in the United States
ought to read it with care, weigh the
subjects and digest every particle of
it. No President Of the United States or
any official has dared to deliver such a
message within 20 years, Yet no one
can deny the truth Of the facts or
honestly oppose the sentiments ex-
pressed. It is a clear presentation of
the situation from a non-partisan
standpoint. 1t ought to arouse the
patriotism of every man who loves his
family, his liberty, his country.
Our friend Bilkins was very much
put out this week because he could not
fire his usual questions into the paper,
but he quieted down when he heard
the reason. He will be on hand next
week.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-11-24
FAIRNESS.

Several times lately this paper has
contended that papers publishing false
kilograms and statements that we're
very improbable concerning Alliance
leaders had done so in a spirit of I'M
fairness, In some cases the editors
we're in a position to know that the
alleged interviews were false. Yet
they seized every opportunity to pub
lish them and gave no one a chance to
refUte the ISLANDERS.
Last week a representative of the
Baltimore Sun visited Raleigh and
claimed that he interviewed Governor
Holt on the political situation. The
Sun is a reputable paper. The article
made the Governor say some very hard
things about the members of the ALI
ance in North Carolina and also about
one Of the officers. It was reproduced
in the Chronicle on Friday.
Now if THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
had been conducted like some of the
partisan papers in this country, it
would have sailed into Governor Holt
with gloves off.
What did we do2 We waited until
Governor Holt could have a chance to
retute the charges. He was absent at
the Edenton Fair, and his card deny
ing the sentiments attributed to him
did not appear in the Chronicle until

MARION BUTLER.
THE PARTY.

1t is all right for men to be patriotic,
to take interest in their party, to de-
fend it if it is worthy of it. But there
is an end to send things. The farmer
who will work himself, make his wife
and children work to raise a crop of
cotton or tobacco and sell it at prices
that these products are now bringing,
or who knows what a crisis the coun-
try is now passing through, and still
not stir himself to seek a remedy or
aid those who are earnestly striving to
effect this end, is no man at all. Many
sit down and say, ooh! if you will
vote for my party and work for it, all
will be we'll" But unless these par
ties have a plan to bring relief and re,
form what can you expect? Don't be
satisfied with a party that has nothing
to bring reform. Make your party
what it ought to be or make it sur
render it's charter. Has either the
Democratic or Republican parties sug-
gested a possible plan?
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-11-24
WE ARE TWINS.

1t is very cheering to note the many
evidences of progress in the reform
movement. Perhaps nothing is as
good proof as the fact that in many
places the two old parties have COM
bined to defeat what they term a
common enemy" This shows that
the two enemies that have been fight
ing each other for thirty years are now
in a desperate condition, and are
ready to join hands for their own
preservation.
But this is not all. They show by
this the absence of any important
issues between them. There is nothing
having merit sufficient to engage in a
three cornered fight. So they combine
and undertake to force the country to
submit to any other than honest row
eminent. In one county in Ohio
money was sent to aid Campbell. But
the managers decided to use it to aid
Mckinley. So you e they are very
friendly. If it is thought expedient to
help the alleged enemy, it requires but
a wink and over goes the Doodle on the
other side.
Thisa all goes to show that his satanic
majesty is running politics to suit him
self. Oh! for more patriotism and less
~partisanism.
