1t viii be remembered that the

makes. He sand in his Charlotte
speech that the negro was as good
socially and morally as the White
man"
The P~ROGREsSIvE FARMER got after
the Topic the next week. In the Topic

BE READY TO BRAY.

Bill Nye got off the following bit Of
nonsense after he received the cen
sus reports. People who oppose the
Alliance are invited TO take his advice:
I have just received here, since l
came to New York. Mr.. Robert 2. POr-
ter's little brochure containing some of
the most thrilling statistics that | have
ever read. [ am delighted with the
work, though panied to read that dur

of 7G5 21l horses and asses. 1t should
be a lesson to those of Us who are still
spared as monuments of mercy, and

BARKING AT THE o Il

The editor of the Hickory Press and
C~aroIinian, who frequently banks at
the hole after the rabbit has been
caught, is out with a cha lenge to
somebody TO discuss the Sub Treasury
scheme with him. Some weeks ago
Col. Polk was at the Newton Fair. In
his speech he offered any person one
hours time to discuss the anti side OF
the question and asked for only 20
minutes in which to reply. The editor
of the Press and CdrOIinjHn was sitting
on the stage at the time, but he didn't
say a word. Now he says n hour was
not long enough and he wants to dis
cuss it with a lawyer. We suppose
Col. Harry Skinner will meet him at
any time. We havn't many lawyers
in our organization, but we can furnish
some legal talent whenever the Press
and CcroLnion gets ready, also a
crowd
Here is what the editor says:
1. Is it constitutional?
2. Will it bring the d. sired perma-
nent relief?
We want a calm ~reasOnCr, because
the ImpOrtan e of the question demands
reason and argument.
We want an intelligent debater who
knows the difference between argu-
ment and ridicuie.
We want IA fair argument, because
sensible people will not be convinced
by any other kind.
We want the argument from a
lawyer, because the first is a legal
question which can only be settled by
the rules of construction adopted by
the courts.
When the champion has been named,
we will agree upon twelve men as a
jury, and upon the number OF articl 5
and replies to be printed in this paper
for their consideration, and If that jury
decide s in favor of the c, nstitutIOnalIty
and utility OF the Sub Treasury plan,
we Will support it; if the jury decides
against. let The Alliance abandon it,

FIAT MON Y.
~SUEIIERFIELD. y. G.

S~UNIIERFIELD. \. &.
Mr.. t'DITOR:-rnere Is being q great
deal said about fiat money. If Iundtr
stand what fiat money means. it is
this: The government takes material
of nc intrinsic value, or perhaps but
little value, and stamps upon it it's
decree, and it becomes money. In
Short, fiat money is money based upon
the credit OF the government. The
market ,alue of silver contained in
one dollar Is said to average about 50
cents. Upon what isthe other IS cents
based? simply upon the governments
fat. Take 100 silver dollars and we
have only 50 dollars based upon intrin-
sic value; the other IS is only money
because the government says so. Does
any One except bond holders refuse to
accept silver money as such because it
has S1S fiat value in every 800? Not
at all Imagine a merchant, mechanic,
doctor or farmer refusing silver money
because one dollar is only worth 50
cents.
We want more money, more fiat sill
e money, more fiat paper money :
just so the government says it's mOneY,
Is all we common people care for; and
we had just as 500 it was stamped
upon paper as gold,
