GROVER CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Cleveland was nominated for
President at Chicago by the Demo
cratic convention. The vote stood:
Cleveland, 616; Hill, 112.
He filled the Presidential chair from
1884 to 1888; was again the nominee,
but was beaten by Harrison. Mr..
Cleveland is styled a "self made" man.
He rose from an humble legal attorney
to the highest Office in the gift of the
people. But unfortunately he made
himself out of the filth of Wall street,
New York, which filth is the greatest
monument to corrupt legislation,
broken fortunes, broken hearts and a
wellnigh ruined country. He was
raised up in tn At atmosphere, breathed
it's hellish odOrs every day of his life.
Even while President of the United
States he stood by the men who, more
than all others, are responsible for the
wretched condition of this country to-
day. He stubbornly stood against the
free coinage of silver, and other finan-
cial legislation that would have bene-
flied the country at large. When the
gamblers Of Wall street were about to
go under at one time during his ad-
ministration, Cleveland used his in1u-
ence and sent many millions Of dollars
from the .. S. Treasury for their use
until they could recover their foothOld.
He is a strong friend to the banking
fraternity at all times.
Cleveland has been a persistent ad-
vocate of tariff reform, but as we all
kno v that the tariff will never be re-
formed until real reformers are put to
the front, his nomination will not
cause any enthusiasm on that line. He
is noted for his firm, u~nyielding dispO-
sition, but it is a notable fact that he
never was stubborn in advocacy of
anything for the good Of the country,
but always so against anything that
would benefit the people.
He has more brains than Harrison.
But their views on public matters are
the same, except on the tariff question.
They are as two eggs. AS leaders of
their respective parties you cannot dis
cover any material difference, They
are for the Wall street gang first, last
and all the time. Both of them have
shown by their public acts that they
have adopted Jay Gould's motto
"the people be damned"

H LAW.

The Moncure Echo states that a
number of prominent Democrats held
a meeting in Pittsboro on Saturday,
June 18th. It further states that it
was a secret meeting and nothing has
been divulged.
We thought enough had been said
about violating the law in this way to
put a stop to it. But here are the very
crowd that have been tearing their
hair holding a secret political meeting,
and, though we are not sure, yet it is
probable that they "lapped their
tongues" at each other and made other
signs too numerous to mention. If
we hear Of any more secret political
meetings we will be compelled to call
out the military and have the entire
kettle of fish before some of Gov. Hollis
many nOtaries public.

THE AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY,

The school book trust was formed
about two years ago. Several large
firms combined for the purpose, as
they alIege, of giving the public the
benefit of a reduction in the price of
school books by cutting down expen-
ses, etc.
That such a trust would be formed
for the purpose of lowering the price
of books is too absurd for any sensible
person to believe. Perhaps most peo-
pie have learned by this time that the
statement was false.
Now it is r. reported that a trust has
been formed in school furniture, desks
and other material. The negro who
steals a chicken must go to the peni-
tertiary, but the rich rogue that steals
the earnings of the people in thousand
dollar Jumps is not molested.

OUR POLICY.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is an agri-
cultural paper. The welfare of the
tillers of the soil is uppermost in our
minds every day in the year. But at
the same time the paper is not filed
with patent medicine advertisements.
cuts of horses, cattle, sheep, cabbages
and tin sprinklers, as some of the al
legged agricultural papers are. We do
not begin editorials on stockraising
and inject a paid advertisement of
some excellent breed of ca tie before
we finish it; neither do we write edi-
torials on poultry raising and wind up
by declaring that somebody sells the
best liver pills ever on the market.
In writing this we mean no refec
ton upon the work of first class agri-
cultural journals. They are filling their
places, but there are other duties to be
performed. The people must be edu-
Gated. Then they will be able to cope
with the problems of agriculture. The
best paper in the world is no advantage

facts and figures; also, they must be
educated politically. We know that
the country is full of incapable farm
ers, men who manage their farms bad
ly, but it does them no good to tell
them where and how to get fine breeds
of cattle unless they are educated. It
is absurd to advise the farmers to be
economical. They are already the
most economical class on earth, and
anybody who says anything else mis-
represents them. Every other class,
as a class, spends twice as much for
clothing, for food as the farmers.
Every other class spends twice or more
than twice as much for luxuries.
1t is silly in anyone to advise the
farmers to raise more of the various
crops when they can't get cost of pro
dUction for what they now make 1t
is silly to say that the farmers do not
work, for history shows nothing ap
preaching the progress of the Ameri-
can people in the past twenty Or thirty
years. The farmers are the foundation
stone, hence they have worked.
The greatest work an agricultural
journal can do a It this time is to urge
education, show the evils of existing
legislation, expose corruption, teach
the people on economic questions and
condemn hypOcracy. We defy any
one to c~ontrovert this position success
| fully.

attention, but if the right kind of a
President and Congress can be elected,
such matters can be attended to.
Both the dominant parties have put
themselves in a position to be defeated.
Their records, their present platforms,
and their nominees are sufficient to
make them fall by force Of the right
eous Indignation of the American peo-
pie. If the new party makes no Sc
rious mistakes it will have a walk-over ;
if it does the need of a new n will
not be obscured, for the country is in
a ~deplorable condition, and rapidly
getting worse.

There seems to be a never dieing de
sire on the part of some people to mis-
represent the st. Louis platform and
the Peoples party, as well as the ALI
ance. They say the St. Louis platform
has not been officially endorsed by the
National Alliance. That is true. The
Peoples party has not been officially
endorsed and is not likely to be. But
the members of the Alliance can en-
dorse the St. Louis platform as ALI
ancemen ifthey see properdo so and as
citizens they car endorse the Peoples
party if they want to
The national meeting Of the Alliance
at Ocala suggested the St. Louis Con
ference and each congressional district
in the Union, in which the Alliance is
organized, sent a delegate. The mem
bers Of the Alliance, therefore, feel a
deep interest in what was done.
We notice that the Kinston Free
! Press says the National Alliance went
back on the Constitution in calling the
st. Louis Conference. The delegates
to the National Alliance, feeling that it
lwas their duty to solve the problem Of
Ethe relief needed by their constituents,
wisely decided that if the two domi-
nant parties refused to give proper aid,
that as citizens the people must take
decided steps to get it, and suggested
the conference. Nearly every labor
organization had representatives. in the
meeting.
The st. Louis platform does not suit
everybody, though it is good n 1t
has the advantage of any other political
platform made in years, in that there
is something IN 1t. 1t is in language that
can be understood to mean something.
If the Omaha Convention will adopt
the first two planks-1nance and land
and put good, pure men on their
ticket, they will win by a large odds.

THE HONEST DOLLAR.

Already the papers are beginning to
apologize for Mr.. Cleveland. They say
he is for an " honest dollar" etc.
All of us want honest dollars. Honest
people want honest money. We sup
pose when the bankers bought up the
trade dollars of 1878 at IS cents, and
were paid 100 cents by the government
an "honest dollar" was in demand.
The banks got an honest dollar, but
they get it dishonesty. Grover Cleve.
land and his friends want all the ''hon-
est dollars" they can get, and they
don't care how much dishonesty is re-
CURED to get them. Now we want to
see some of the popgun newspapers
deny this, and defend Cleveland and
his gang of Wall street boodlers.

THE OMAHA

This notable gatheEipg willcohvene
in the city of Omaha, Neb., on next
Monday, July 4th, and an immense
crowd of delegates and visitors are ex
pected. But all will be accommodated,
as Omaha has about sixty hotels, large
and small.
1t is said that every Southern and
Western State will be represented and
many sections of the middle and New
England States. The blue and the
gray boys will meet and commemo-
rate the nations anniversary by clasp
ing hands and putting in motion the
machinery of a new and powerful
party, which shall have inscribed on
its banner Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none," something
that the world saw before on a
party banner.
We await the result of this COnven-
ton with much interest. If it makes
any serious mistakes the hopes of thou
sands will be dashed to the ground. If
wisdom predominates the entire world
will watch, with constantly increasing
interest, every movement made. If
conservatism prevails the political I'M
certainty in this country in the next
few months will be greater than at n
former period.
We wait and watch If this conven-
ton fails to show that it knows what is
needed and that it cannot give the prop,
er remedy, this paper will stand ready
to help bury it's name and work. On
the other hand, if it shows that inteIli-
gence, honesty and patriotism pre-
vailed, then we are ready to spread
the news that deliverance is at hand
The people of the West and South
ought to know that their interests are
Identical that what will hurt or bene-
fit one section will do the same for the
other. But at the same time, there are
peculiar conditions that might affect
the people of both sections differently.
For that reason there should be but
few planks in the platform.
There Is n thing h a nlne-tenths
Of the voters from Maine to California
can agree upon and thatis financial re-
form. President Polk often said be-
fore his death that financial reform was
the first thing needed, and had he
lived would have worked to that end.
In the rocky hills of Massachusetts the
farmer and the laborer, and even the
business man, want financial reform.
Under the shadow of the Rocky Noun
tains that is the cry. In the cotton
and corn fields of the South financial
reform is the watchword. Hence the
Omaha convention could not do better
than to make Especial financial plank
and then stop. That of course would
include free coinage of silver, and any
thing else nee ded along that line The
tarIn question, and many other things
