Yes, our misrepresentation ave SOLO
our public domain to foreigners and
given away millions of acres Of the
same. covering a territory as big as
one half of Europe, to railroad mag
mates and taxed us without remOrse OF
conscience or stint. Yet we must
tamely submit and obey u would be
political ringsters; or they say they Will
read us out of the party. We repeat
it, the gOld-bugS nOr tramps pay no
taxes. We therefore claim that repre-
sentation and taxation is the basis upon
which the perpetuity of this govern
ment rests. and unless we change our
tactics we follow in the wake OF Persia,
Greece and Rome. The demOnetlza-
ton of silver in 1878 was a dark day"
for the producer, and | have no doubt
many who participated in hat great
crime are and will be shining lights IN
the Devils kingdom. It was conceived
in wickedness and born of traitors to
the general welfare cause" Ninety
wears ago there was but One man IN
the United States with $500, 900;
today they can be counted by
scores whose annual income eX-
coed that amount. Yet we are told
to pillow on. Aye, my cOuntrymen, the
shackleS are being made IN Washing
ton and the Clanklng chains Of a money
deSpotism are being adjusted to your
hbt rites to meet their greed for gain,
and unless something is done quickly,
absolute slavery is inevitable. The
partisan press delight themselves more
in abusing Col, Polk, DR.. Macune and
other leaders of the great reform
movement than in argument against
the "scheme, " as they call it. Col. Polk
and Mr.. Macune have offered any OF
these silk stocking gentry a fair chance
to debate with them, but the subsidized
press. like our Congressman, cry out
Unconstitutional, failing to tell how
and why. The EconOmis Falcon says
that the Alliance killed Hampton, In
gals and Skinner and that they are
now after Sherman, Of Ohio, and they
struck at Ransom and have succeeded
in dividing the North Carolina dele
cation. What a power behind the
throne" Well, we do not propose to
kill nor cripple any one, but a word to
the wise is sufficient.
Mr.. Ingalls, says he is a statesman
cut of a Job. 1t should have been a
politician out of a job. 1t would be a
blessing if more Of them were "with-
out a job" We propose to stop u
plOws long enough to correct the evil
doors, Notwithstanding the great
amount Of advice they offer us. 1892
will be an eventful year, politically
speaking. Be patient, bide your time,
Keep your powder dry and trust in
God. Yours fraternally,

WILL THE FARMERS OBEY?

1t will be interesting to observe the
efforts of the Farmers Alliance to con
troll it's members in their actions. The
Alliance began yesterday to send out a
million letters asking farmers to hold
back their wheat for a great rise,
which was confidently predicted.
Whether the promise of Improvement
in prices will be fulfilled remains to be
seen, but close observers of the Alliance
will be most curious to learn how far
the farmers will respect the judgment
and authority of the officials whom
they have elected. Should the West
ern sales of wheat suddenly stop, in
compliance with the request made, the
Alliance may safely be credited with
a tremendous grip, for the American
farmer is not given to holding back his
farm products, no matter how low
prices may be.-Ne1C York Herald.

HOW 1T WAS.

That stale charge is being repeated,
that the demands of the Alliance have
a precedent in the cedula system that
was so disastrous in Argentina. The
truth is that the money system of that
country is modelled almost exactly
after the national banking system of
the United States, the only paper
money being issued on deposited
bonds. The cedulas are simply mort
cages, usually owned by foreigners,
interest of which was guaranteed by
the government, and are not the basis
for a circulating medium such as the
Alliance demands. On the other hand,
they are a refinement of alien land
lordism, an abuse, the removal of
which is imperatively demanded by
the Order, says the National Econ
OmiSt-

A SISTER WRITES.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the sisters of the
Columbia Alliance have been writing
letters for THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
and l have been requested to add one
to their number, l will first say that I
am young and have nc experience in
composing either prose or poetry. Now
my talk will be just as 1 feel toward
this noble Order. My sisters, this is
something we should know, that our
names are on this list and regret we
could not be allowed this opportunity
years ago, for no doubt our country
would be in a much better condition
today had we taken this step. The
wolf and mOney-seeking lion have
brought the farmers to toll both day
and night to keep these terrible mon
sters from their doors, even then force
to give both real estate and chattle
mortgages with enormous interest.
Now, sisters, let us cling to the prin,
ciples of the Alliance and be watchful
and true to our obligation and to our
noble Order. Y. Hicks.

LETTER FROM THE EAST.

OKIsKO, N. G.
Mr.. EDTTOR:-I trust [ am not doing
violence to your space and patience by
dotting you a few lines from the east.
sir, to begin with, the partisan
subsidized press here, like others who
wear a collar with their bosses name
written thereon, are making a howl
over what may happen to them
and the party in the event the great in
dustrial classes should be so unmindful
Of bOssism as to vote for whom they
please and as they please. They seem
to forget that if the Farmers Alliance
as a body is illiterate and represent
only the trash population, that the toll
ing men and women who compose it
are the taxpayers and that our repre-
sentative men in high places have will
fully neglected our interests and that
instead of being bosses they are
the hired and paid servants of the peo-
pie to whom they are accountable.

me 500 on it at one per cent. per

for the privilege of doing so.

A GREAT UPHEAVAL COMING.

This IS a very peculiar country, and
it is a very suggestive fact that the
rich + getting richer very fast, and
the poor either keep along as they are
or descend to a lower depth of diScOm-
fort and poverty.
Now, it stands to reason that a con-
dition of affairs so in~equitable, making
princes of n and slaves of another
class cannot last.
There will cone as certain as fate.
some great upheaval, and it is the very
dread Of that upheaval which keeps
men, thoughtful men, from discussing
the condition. They hope by silence,
by ignoring facts, to persuade them
selves that they don't exist. They ap-
pear to be quite content with things as
they are, and, although they r con
fident that sooner or later the deluge
may come, so long as they are not over
whelmed by it they don't care.
How idiOtic it would be for the fam
lily physician to cover with a sheltering
plaster an angry and a threatening
carbuncle. He can by his plaster con
ceal it from view. He can say in
smooth and oily tongue, There is no
danger Meanwhile the carbuncle is
at work drawing to itself from every
section of the system the virus which
ultimately will flame forth, with core
inflammation, causing intensest pain and
fraught with danger.
A more sensible physician would
treat the carbuncle from the first, and
by iudiciOus means bring it along to
the point where expert incision would
afford permanent relief. 1t is a very
easy thing for us to shut our eyes to
the condition of affairs, but why?
Surely it isn't wisdom to do so.
Common sense says all men are
brothers, and when the prosperous
class recognizes the fraternity, the com
radeship, the brotherhood ofthe unfor-
tunate class, all dangerwil pass away,
the heavens will be clear, and the sun,
whose beams are for the healing of

FALSE RECORDS.

Recently the following press dispatch
vas sent out from Washington show
ing up the great CD prosperity of the
country:
Statements have been prepared at
the Treasury Department showing tha5
the amount of money in circulation in
1860 was about 435 million dollars and
the amount per capita $13 IS. In 1865
there were 723 million dollars IN circu-
latiOn, and the amount per capita was
SOS Twenty years later the cirCu-
latiOn was over 81, 1892, 00U, 600 and the
per capita was 1923. 06, while on Janu-
airy l last the amount was nearly ST.
329, 600, 600, with $24 10 as the capita
allowance, the highest in the history
of the United States.
Owing to the shipments Of gold to
foreign countries there has been a de
cline since January 1, 1891, not only
in the mercantile amount but in the
total; but the total circulation August
1, Notwithstanding the outflow of gold,
was about 1! billion dollars and the
amount per capita was $23.37.
1t is needless to go into a lengthy
denial of this statement. Every man
and woman of intelligence IN the cOun
try can testify as to the untruthfulness
of the statements.
But when it M to the public
records published at the time and not
disputed for a quarter of a century,
the utter f~endishness of the falsehOOd
is almost too Incredible for conception

for 1866.

upon the other, and for the best good
of both.
That time must come. 1t may not
be in my day or in yours, but as GER
tain as the revolutions, as certain as
fate, as certain as God himself, there
must come a change whereby men will
stand more nearly on a level, and when
this mOnstrOus difference of millions
on the one hand, nothing on the other,
will be done away with.-HOUGrd, IN

PEA VINE

In the plats of wheat on which pea
vine manuring has been illustrated at
the Experiment Farm we have a fnan-
cial statement to make which is worth
looking at. We find that fertilizers
costing an average of $2.37 per acre
raised the yield of wheat say /! bushels
per acre. With wheat worth 81 per
bushel it is easy to see what welOse on
fertilizers.
The COW pea vines cost work on the
land and say 81 per bushel for two
bushels per acre for first seeding. We
can collect seed after once starting in
the work before blowing in the crop,
because it is best not to sour the land
by blowing in the vines green. Hence
SOW early enough to mature before
ground is needed and pick Of pods
enough for seed.
Perhaps a fair estimate on this will
be found in the following:
Man and team blowing enc day on one acre, 500
Man and team narrowing = day on one acre, LOO
Two bushels seeds at Sl,......... ............ 200
Total cost of pea vine crop, ........... $500
Increased yield Of wheat on plats ten
bushels per acre, at 81 per bushel, gives
$40, or a net income of S. per acre,
where the extra handling can be next
to nothing in cost.
We have said nothing of the increase
in fertility or value of straw, which is
well worth cOnsidering-F. Z. Emery,
