country is willing to give to the cham
pion of candor.
We donot forget that this man wears
a name that has always been honor
able in our American history-that he
is the son of a man who was certainly
the greatest S~outherner, if not the
greatest man of any section, that has
moved upon the stage of American life
in two generations; and it is painful to
us to read the above extract, to say
nothing at all of criticizing its position.
But this mans great name, and great
position makes it the mOr imperative
that such deliberate and cold-blooded
utterances of wrong should be rebuked.
Gen. Lee leaves it to be inferred that
he is in favor of Nh. Cleveland for the
presidency Notwithstanding his views
upon silver coinage; and that too in the
faceo Of the fact that to a great extent his
Cmy) people are for free coinage. The
English of it seems to be that Gen. Lee
and his people are willing to sacrifice
their principles upon silver coinage if
such sacrifice shall seem necessary to
secure the presidency to the Democrats
through Mr.. Cleveland.
Gen. Lee also tells the country, &C
cording to the above quotation, that
the first thing to be done lis to subor-
dinate everything to the party" How
unlike his ~venerated father this man
must be! We remember his fathers
reply to a note of Stonewall ~Jackeon's,
written a few hours after that hero
had been stricken with his death
wound. It ran thus, 1--WE quote from
memory: 81 have just received your
note, informing me that you were
wounded. Could [ have directed
events, I should have chosen for the
good of the country to have been dis
abled in your stead. congratulate you
upon the victory which is due to your
skill and energy" There vas no talk
in this of ''subordinating everything
to the party. The country, and
nothing but the country, was in the
soul of this great man. In the estima-
ton of the sol the party, and nothing
but the party, must be regarded.
There was no possibility that Gen.
Lees father could have talked of mas
terly inactivity in the time of his
country's need. Gen. r. E. Lee never
could have tolerated any one who pro-
posed ito present no beneffcent legisla-
ton" in the time of his country's need,
for fear of dividing honors with the
Republicans.
We hope there is some mistake
about this interview. Certainly Gen.
w. H. F. Lee could never have uttered
the words imputed to him in our quo
tation.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Disclaiming, in ad-
vance. any desire to dictate how THE
! PROGRESSIVE FARMER should be edited,
yet as that paper is the organ of the
Alliance in North Carolina, and the
| Constitution Of that body declares
against partizanism, any member has
the right to protect against the admls-
sion into its columns of such articles
as that headed GA Plea for Mr.. Cleve-
land" That such a piece would be a
very proper contribution to a Demo
cratic newspaper organ none can deny,
and there is no scarcity of such organs
that the writer should be forced to seek
a hearing through the Alliance organs.
The time has come when the line should
be distinctly drawn against the attempt
of any member to use them for the pur-
pose of advancing the personal or party
interest of any one: We have had
enough of this in the past; let us be
more guarded in the future, or great
injury will result to the order. When
ever a member becomes so blinded by
love of party as to overstep the cOnstl-
tutional restrictions, it would be best
for the order for him to step out of the
| Alliance, and if he persists in such a
course he should be furnished with a
card of dismissal. Any member has a
guaranteed right to think and vote as
he pleases, also to discuss any question
of political economy in a nOn-partizan
manner, either in the Alliance or it's
organs, but has not the right to use
these as mediums for advancing the
party or sectional claims of any m
Likewise any member has a perfect
right and ought to fully discuss and
understand all claims or demands sub
mitted for that purpose by any ALI
ance to which he owes allegiance, but
when such claims or demands have
been duly ratified by a majority and
enacted into law. it is clearly the duty
of every member to acquiesce in the
expressed will of the majority, unless
by so doing a member feels he would
be compromising what he believes to
be a principle, in which case the hon
Orable course for him to pursue would
be to sever his allegiance in the manner
prescribed by the order.
Hoping these words of fraternal ad-
mOnitiOn may be received in the same
spirit in which they are written, being
for the good of the order, | am,

SENATOR HoAR is reported as saying,
''The trouble with Western farmers is
occasional visits from storms and
grasshoppers." We suppose the West
ern farmers will thank the Senator
for the information he imparts, and
feel themselves duly comf0rted. 1t
those farmers do not get comforting
out of the Senator's words 1T would
seem not to be the Senator's fault.
Those farmers must find the of
their loss Of substance IN the "Occa-
sionaI visits of grasshoppers. They
must pay a tribute to the Eastern
manufacturer upon the coarse cotton
shirts which they wear; and, IT they
complain to this great Senator of the
injustice of such a thieving system, he
shruggs his senatorial shoulders and
remarks, "Grasshoppers!" These far
mers look into the faces of theipwives
and see that the lines upon their faces
are deepening from day to day. They
90 to Senator Hoar and say, the
mortgages on our farms are crushing
the manhood out of u natures and
breaking the hearts of IL wives; y
and the Senator says, 'Grasshoppers!'
Those farmers look upon their chill
dred, and they know that, work as
hard as they may, their sons cannot
be educated, and their daughters must
go to the tasks of their motherhood
dowerless. They tell these things to
the Senator from Massachusetts,, and
he calmly refers them to ''grasshop-
pers and storms, -" as the cause of their
undoing. Well, those Western farm
ers have made up their minds that
there shall be visited upon Senator
HOar, and upon all others like him,
something worse than ''grasshoppers. "
Those farmers are brewing a storm for
the Senator and his ilk that will make
them feel that a Western cyclone is a
mere zephyr by the side of it. The
storm that is to punish the cool impu-
dence of those men who burden the
prople with unjust taxation, and then
lay the blame of its effects upon Di-
vine Providence, is gathering head;
and when it shall burst upon them,
they will be likely to think that the
substitution of the frogs and lice of
ancient Egypt would be a measure of
relief.

it's organization only so long as it re-
fuses to antagonize any and all parties,
as such. We demand measures of re-
form that arefor the benefit of all, and
we have the numbers to enable us to
enforce our demands. Let us, there
fore, stand apart until all the parties
shall have formulated their principles
and policies and shall have brought out
their candidates. Then let us meet and
give those candidates our support who
shall have declared in favor of our de-
mands. In this way we a force the
parties to recognize our demands and
support our wishes. By standing apart
we do not mean that our people should
refrain from attending the primaries.
They can attend those meetings with
great advantage to our movement,
when their numbers are large enough
to enable them to compel fair play.

PRINCIPLES.

Mr.. EDITOR:-It seems to me that
Bro. Rhyme allows himself considerable
territory in discussing Alliance princi-
pies. The true object of the Alliance
is to improve it's members mentally,
morally, socially and financially. The
Alliance, with its reform papers and
other literature, has already accom-
plished wonderful results in improv-
ing it's members intellectually. They
now discuss questions intelligently
that three years ago they were wholly
ignorant of, hence the first object is
being carried out to a great extent.
Did Bro. Rhyme show wherein the
liquor business would aid in securing
mental improvement We know of
nothing that is more dissipating and
injurious to the minds of men than in
toxicating liquors. Second object is to
improve ourselves morally. Now, I
would like to know just how our friend
will accomplish this result without dis
cussing and regulating those evils that
are so destructive to the morals of our
country. He grows very sad when he
says the farmers legislature takes
whiskey away from the poor farmer. "
Thousands of poor farmers wives and
children would be more happy and
enjoy life better if this debauching
stuff was universally prohibited. Third
object is to improve ourselves socially;
that is to cultivate social relations and
attain a higher degree of civilization.
Our friend will confer a great favor by
showing how the whiskey business
will render the farmers more fit for
social intercourse with each other. l
have never seen an intoxicated man
whose company was of much value
socially.
Fourth and last object is to improve
ourselves financially. Again, he did
not show how, by taking whiskey
away from the farmer, that his
poverty-stricken family might use the
money unnecessarily spent for this
stuff, that it would in any way be det-
rimental to him financially, and were
he to make a study Of the matter for
the next twelve months, he would still
be unable to demonstrate, by sound
argument and reason, that it would be
hurtful to the financial interests of the
farmer toprevent the manufacture and
sale of that stuff that debauches mems
souls, reduces their families to poverty
and shame, and leads to a drunkard's
grave. | am unable to see how the
brother can stand on the above princi-
pies and advocate what he does in his
letter. 1t may be that he is honest in
his convictions, but in my judgment

THE TARIFF.

The word tariff is derived from
TarifH, a town of the province of
Cadiz, the southernmost town of Spain.
This town is situated upon the Strait
of Gibraltar. The town was named
for Tar9 ibn Malek, a Moslem chief
who landed upon the spot in A. D. 10.
During the time of the Mooriah domi-
nation in Spain, blackmail was levied
from this point upon all ships that
passed through the Straits. The strong
castle, which stood upon a rocky prom
ontory, commanded the narrow pas
sage from sea to sea; and all ships were
forced to come to under it's frOwning
~turrets, and pay blackmail.
We have given the origin of this
word to show that it is the spawn Of
infamy-that it was associated in it's
very beginning with, and was the
progeney of, Infamous wrong. And,
since the day it was first employed to
give name to robbery and spoliation,
it has been used in connection with
transactions of government, not one
whit less infamous in their essential
principles, than was the blackmail
levied upon commerce by the Moors of
Spain.
The tariff of the United States is a
system intended to operate to secure
the plain robbery of certain classes of
mentor the enrichment of other classes.
Was the blackmail of the Moors of
Spain anything more or less w say
this system of tariff is intended to rob
certain classes for the benefit of certain
other classes, because those who de-
vised it, and those who uphold it.
know that it has precisely this effect,
and no other. The man who is in
favor Of a tariff, is in favor of a system
that EFFORTS taxes out of consumers for
the benefit of those who have articles
to sell. This is the plain English of the
whole matter. And the transaction is
not one jot more respectable now than
it was a thousand years ago; and the
American who supports this wicked
system is not less a rObber now than
was his Moorish prototype of long ago..
Some persons may think the language
we use needlessly harsh. But we do
not think so. What we have said is
the simple truth; and it ought to have
been said long ago. We do not intend
that the sin Of silence upon this ques-
ton shall rest upon soul. Some of
our poorer fellow-citizens are being
robbed by this Infamous tariff system
day by day; and we will not hold our
peace, and let the infamy go on. We
want all the readers of The PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER to remember, that the
word tariff had its origin in infamy a
thousand years ago, and has been ever
since used for purposes of infamous
eXaCtiOn

DISTRICT MEETING OF FIRST
DISTRICT.

PLYMOUTH, N. c., April 16, 81.
Ben Terrell, the great Texas Alliance
orator, delighted and instructed the
general public in the aims and purposes
of the. Alliance with reference to the
farmers, laborers and of all avocations
outside of the order. Numbers of
persons outside of the order spoke in
the highest terms Of the public adj
dress. One business man and a man
of affairs, too, said: 'Such speeches do
much good" The court house was full
of people. Some sensible colored peo-
pie were in the back part of the house.
One of them said: THAT was the best
speech ever made in this house" One
colored man said: Where can 20 to
fix for organizing our racer" The
answer was Ito J. J. Rogers, Norfolk,
{. Then [ am going tomorrow"
Inc private meeting on Tuesday was
large and exceedingly satisfactory. At
It's close the house gave brother Ter
feI rOuslng rising vote of thanks,
and every man felt a swelling inspira-
ton and desire to lead a better, Drawer
life for himself and his fellOw-citizens.
And the benedictions of all were pro
nOunced upon brother Terrell's excel
lent work in the First district.
We hail with delight the action of
our National Legislative Council. which
met recently in Washington CITY. in
providing a plan for a general lecture
system in all the States. Let every
member do all in his power to push
forward this great work. We ask
every Alliance member especially to
go out and hear brother Terrell when
he comes around. 1t will pay you.

THE Gar of Russia has issu ID an
other savage decree against the Jews.
1t seems to us that the humane power
Of the world should be brought to bear
in some effective way to make the
Gar recognize the fact that the age in
which he lives, and the religion which
he processes, put him under some obi
cation to so conduct his affairs as to
convince people that he is not a brute.
Few things that happened in barbaric
ages are more shamefully cruel than
the expulsion of these Russian Jews
from their native homes and country.
And yet this imperial savage is allowed
to go on with his work of blasting hui
man hopes and human lives, without
so much as a protest from Christian
nations, to say nothing of the shudder-
ing horror with which such brutal con
duct should be met. We want all men
to know that we look upon the Gar of
Russia as we look upon a ferocious
brute.

gone.

HEGkAH IN IN 1A1A4 O4A4Es
Richmond ReUieU: Gen. w. H. F.
Lee, the member of Congress from the
Eighth Virginia district, has been inter
viewed on national politics. In reply to
a question as to who was the choice of
the people in his district for President,
he said at once:
"Of the nominee, whoever he may
be, up to the present time there has
been little talk. l think, though, that
leaving out all side questions, Mr.
Cleveland is probably the favorite. My
people are to a great extent for the free
coinage Of silver or for any measure
that will tend to relieve financial strin-
gency. 1t strikes me that in a nutshell
the policy of the Democratic party lies
in a few points. The first of these is to
subordinate everything to the party.
Another is we must not consider any
issue on which the party itself is di-
vided until after the fight of 1892.
That will be time enough, and we will
have the advantage of presenting an
unbroken front to the opposition. AS
to Our policy in Congress, it seems to
me there can be little doubt. What we
should do is simply to assume and
maintain a state of mastery inactivity.

ton, but we should attempt nothing
more"
The above is the reported words of
Gen. w. H. F. Lee, of Virginia. There
is always a possibility that the report
of an interview may be inaccurate.
But assuming that Gen. Lee used the
words quoted above, we think he is

WE see that an effort is making to
induce Southern AIliancemen to attend
the meeting in Cincinnati to form a
third party. We think the Alliance
should maintain it's distinct character
as a non-partizan agricultural organi-
cation. Thisi it cannot do if it goes into
a third party. We think the Alliance
should continue to hold it's present in
dependent position, in order that its
votes may be cast for the men and
party that give surest promise of bring
ing in the reforms we demand. The
Alliance will be true to the purposes OF
