generally much pleased with the
speeches. Many of these frankly con-

ate, the speakers were most kindly and
cOurteously received by the people
The people had been told by the bitter
partisan papers that these speakers
were invading the State for the Dur
pose of influencing the State election
but their conduct proved the chargct to
be false and to the satisfaction even of
the George element. Appeals were
also made, we are ashamed to say. to
sectional prejudice and hatred, but we
were proud of the conservative, sound
sense of the brethren i'll rebuking this
demagoguery, as it deserved. This
assault was directed against Bro. VII

and cultivation Of plants under
glasses, etc.
THE MECHANICAL COURSE.
This course, as laid out, is intended
to give to those who complete it such a
general and broad knowledge of the
subject of mechanics and engineering,
and such skill in the use of tools and
instruments, and in the management
of machinery, as will enable a grad
uate to be prepared to enter upon and
make a speciality Of any line Of work
pertaining to mechanics or engineering
that he may choose. No speciality, as
vet, is made either of mechanical
engineering, civil engineering or archi-
lecture; but those fundamental prin-
ciples which underlie, and form the
bases of all, are taught to the student.
In addition to his theoretical train
ing, the student is given a most
thorough and careful practical training
in the use and care of tools and ma
chinery. He is made q good workman
in both iron and wood. His greater or
less degree of skill will, Of course, de
pend largely upon his natural ability.
EXPENSES.
A county student can spend a year
at this College for one hundred dollars,
a pay student for one hundred and
thirty. These figures include every e.
pense except clothing. The Trustees
have made it thus cheap to try to
reach all classes.
APPOINTMENTS.
There are two classes Of students:
county and pay students. The pay
student is charged $50 a year tuition;
the county student pays no tuition,
this is the only difference. Young
men desiring these county appointments
each county being allowed as many
appointments as it has Representatives
in the House of Commons-will make
application to their County Superin-
dent of Education and he will examine
them for these places.
EQUIPMENT.
The College has excellently-equipped
shops, chemical and botanical labora-
tories, etc, and is each year adding to
this equipment.
The next session is expected to show
a large increase in the number Of
students, and we are sure it will pay
any young man to take the thorough
course this institution offers.

What do the patriotic, honest, law

Will they falter in their duty to them
selves, to their families and to their
God? W. know they will not.

HI ISSUE
Financial Reform.

In two recent of THE PRO
GREssIyE FARMER editorials appeared
which pleased, immensely, the partisan
press of the country. They have been
published and applauded and com
mended generally by those papers
which have been the bitterest enemies
of the Alliance. This, of itself, apart
from the merits or dement's of the
articles, would most naturally have
attracted the attention Of our vigiIant
National Organ, the Economist, but
the Economist quotes one Of these
articles, and very properly declines to
defend the position therein taken, and
says: NO criticism will now be made
upon the position of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, because there may be some
mistake or misunderstanding"
We express our appreciation of the
kindly position Of the Economist in the
matter. 1t is due THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER to say that it believes as the
Alliance believes, that financial reform
"a change in our financial system. by
which the money of the people shall
not be controlled by a favored few to
the damage and robbery Of the many,
is the great and paramount issue before
the American peOp!e-that the free
coinage Of silver and the tariff ques-
tions, important as they are, cannot
compare in Importance with this one
great OvershadowiDg question. 1t is
due President Polk to say, that in all
his writings, in all his ~utterances, in
all his speeches, he has uniformly and
firmly maintained this position.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER stands
firmly and u~nreservedly on the Ocala
platform and will advocate and defend
it's every principle, because it believes
they are right, just and wise, and will
secure the greatest good to the greatest
number. The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
wants tariff reform and the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, but it
utterly repudiates the idea that these
are the greatest issues before the peO-
pie. It stands today on the Sub
Treasury plan, where it has always
stood, and where it will stand in
future-Squ0rely aud unfinchingly for
1t, and will fight it out on that line.
The articles referred to expressed the
individual opinions Of the late editor,
then in charrn for which he aIODn D,71Ct
be responsible.

CERTAIN papers and politicians IN
the South seem to be greatly concerned
lest the Alliance people should go into
the Peoples Party. If they are really
in earnest. why do they not turn their
attention to the Third Party fellows
down in South Carolina and in GeOr-
gia: Why do they not get after Con
gresham Oates, of Alabama? These
are the only men in the South thus far
who have taken action towards a third
party. And be it understood that not
one Of them is an Allianceman. Gen
tIemen, would it not be well to look
after these third party men in your
w ranks? Don't you think it just a
little bit inconsistent to manifest so
much concern about the Alliance and
the third party, while the "straight-
out J~effersonian Democracy" is jump
ing into the third party all around you?
Stop them or they will ruin the
party"
