NOT AT ALL.

Some are asking land it is a sensible
question: if new party men won't be-
come corrupt and do just like the old
ones. Perhaps some will. Human
nature is weak. But our hope lies in
the fact that new party men will not
be supported and elected by the wicked,
corrupt boodlers of the country. They
will not pay in campaign Doodle and
get them under obligations IS the cor
porations and moneyed men now place
the old party men. They will not fear
to incur the anger of such men, for
they will be stubbornly antagonized by
them from the start. Now party men
will run on their own and the merit Of
the party platform. No, there is not
the tenth part of the danger of their
falling from grace.

THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE.

Some days ago Andrew Carnegie, the
Homestead, Pa, steel manufacturer,
eluced the wages Of his $500 work
men from 10 to 40 per cent. according
to the position they held. 1t is alleged
that he did this for the purpose of rails
ing campaign funds. His men at once
quit work. Carnegie has been trying
to get cheap labor since. The work
men had nothing before them but star
walton, and they determined to resist
any introduction Of foreignlabor. Last
Wednesday night three hundred Pink
erton detectives came up the river on
which the factory is situated and at
tempted the force their way into the
building. They came on coal barges to
which was attached a steam tug boat.
Somehow the news spread and the
workmen armed themselves, planted
a cannon where it would render ser
vice. The Pinkerton men at once
opened fire on the wOrkmen. Several
were killed and wounded. The workmen
returned the fire, killing eight or ten
detectives and wounding thirty seven.
The cannon began to damage the tug
boat. 1t steamed away, leaving the
barges without locomotive power.
Many barrels of oil were poured in the
river and set on fire with the hope Of
burning the barges, but this, forum
ately, was a failure. But a steady fire
was kept up from both sides of the
river and the detectives were forced to
surrender Internationally, as they
could not escape. A flag Of truce was
shot down four times by the Infatuated
workmen, before they finally desisted.
The sheriff Of the county had sum
Oned 1900 men in P%ittsburg, but only
26 consented to go. The invasion Of
the Pinkerton men was illegal, and no
one feels sorry for them, The work
men are still holding the fort and are
likely to win. They are right. Their
labor has built up the immense fortune
of Carnegie, and he has no right to re
duce their wages and bring in foreign
workmen. Laboring people must de-
fend their rights with their lives and
their votes.

COL. CLEVELAND.

Some of our exchanges are angry be-
cause The PROGRESSIVE FARMER said
Cleveland belonged to the force bill
brigade, They say he was lone of the
first men to point out it's dangers in a
public speech"
We do not deny that. He is an at
torney for the Wall street rogues who
got the bill up and may have helped
to frame it. It is more than likely
that he knew all about it and was con
suited as to the probability of it's being
a good thing to fool the people with, so
as to allow the pIutocrats a few more
years to plumber the public. 1t is GER
tain that leading Democrats have had
a hand in the business, and equally
certain that if the force bill becomes a
law a large number of votes will be
given by Democrats.
There is another phase to this ques-
ton. When the force bill was first in
troduced the Republicans had a ma
jority in both houses. Gar Reed, of
Maine, was Speaker Of the House. If
it was ever to be passed it would have
went through like a streak then.
AS to Cleveland's making speeches
against the force bill, that is a small
matter. Some of the biggest and mean
est Republicans that ever lived have

H E CAUSES.

Peter Cooper stated that during his
long business life he had witnessed ten
disastrous industrial depressions, al
ways from the same cause; always and
uniformly from a destruction or sup
preston of the money of the country,
says Congressman John Davis. And
British history informs us that under
the influence of the Peel contraction
bill, four-ffths of the land-holders of
England, through bankruptcy and
forced sales, lost their lands. He peo-
pie were without employment, and
were suffering everywhere for the
commonest n~ecessaries Of life. The
suffering country vas relieved by five
money bills introduced in a single
night by Lord ~Castlereigh and passed
under a suspension of the rules as mat
tiers of urgent necessity. Every bill
was designed to increase money facili
ties. The relief was sudden and effec-
tive.

THE COUNTY

Next Thursday and Friday are the
days upon which the County ALI
ance's will be held. The indications
are that they will be pretty well at
tended. The Order is in a healthy
condition in most sections. Some i'm
portant work should be attended to at
these meetings. Delegates to the State
Alliance will be elected. Care should
be taken in this, for efforts will be
made, in a quiet manner, to push for
ward regular politicians for these
places. Watch out for them. Elect
none but actual farmers, quiet honest
men. There is no need of Peoples
party, Democratic or Republican gas
bags, who will do their best to intro
duce partisan resolutions in the State
meeting. Don't send men to the State
meeting who can do nothing but
speechify. Send men who know how
to pillow, men that are real reformers
and who have stood by the Alliance
like men. The officers of each County
Alliance should go to the meetings de-
termined to keep down anything Of a
partisan nature. All these precau-
tionary preparations are necessary
during a campaign. Remember that
orators" are not needed, men who
don't talk much with their mouths are
the need Of the hour.

NOW.

North Carolina is undoubtedly for
free silver. 1t is right. Twerty-nine
State Democratic platforms have de
clared for it. Yet the delegates to the
Chicago Convention surrendered to
Wall street and left it out of the plat
form by making a meaningless plank
that declares that there shall be no
change. Yet some of the popgun Dem
ocratic papers are feebly tryir 6 to
make voters believe that plank means
free coinage. Here is what the At
lanta Journal says, and as it is the
leading Democratic paper in the South,
those who are trying to convince them
selves that the Chicago Convention
was not a base deceiver, should now
stop and think. The Journal says:
THE free silver issue will play very
little part in the present campaign.
Both the great parties have declared
against it in their platforms and both
are too much divided on it to attempt
to bring it forward as one of the ques-
tions to be decided in this contest"

ON R

In the language of the circus poster
the Prohibition party is the only
"really religious and strictly moral :"
party in the country. The Peoples
party is the greatest party on earth"
Now if6oth of these parties could get
together under one tent, wouldn't they
make a circus for the old parties to
look at. Leaders see it all at one
price. Privates and children, half
price"

EDITORIAL. NOTES

A Peoples party man is nom
mated for Congress In Mills district in
Texas. That is too bad.
The Oxford Public Ledger says
there is a large number of good ALI
ance men in Granville county who say
they cannot support Cleveland.
After the conventions are all over
and the bloods who want office are left,
there will be a scrambling to get into
the only great party in existence. Just
wait
- Ten of the thirteen Congressional
districts in Texas have nominated Peo-
pies party candidates. The other three
will later. Do the papers say anything
about this?
~ If those who are so frightened
about the force bill would do more to
force the rascals to the rear and let
honest men rule, they would be more
thought Of.
Jim Weaver and Jim Fields"
The two "Jims" will carry the day and
don't you forgetit. Jim the weaver"
will carry the union labor forces and
it is a sorry farmer that won't vote for

~ The Southern papers re careful
to say that Weaver was an officer in
the army that fought against the
South" Well, "Field was in the army
that fought against the North That
makes it even.

party platform next week. 1t has one
unchallengeable excellence it isshort,"
says the Gastonia Gazette. Yes, and
you might have added that there is
something IN 1t, too.
~ In the following sentence are all
the letters of the alphabet: "Packmy
box with five dozen liquor jugs" At
the same time, it will be noticed that
there is no command to fill the jugs
with liquor Of any kind.
~ Miss Frances Willard, the
famous temperance woman, says Har-
rison is a better man than Cleveland,
morally, but that the least among the
Prohibition and Peoples party candi-
dates are better men than either.
~ We are inclined to think that
the appeal to the South to remain
solid" by the New York Sun, is the
biggest joke the Democratic party has
ever played on itself. 1t is like hiring
the devil to christianize the country.
We are against political fusion
OF any kind, but are glad to learn that
the Democrats and Republicans in sew
eral States will put out no ticket, but
will vote the Peoples party ticket.
Boys, we have got 'em. Stand to your
guns.

Gen. James B. Weaver is a native Of
Ohio, but has long been a resident OF
Iowa. He is about SO years old. He
practiced law in Iowa up to 1879, when
he was elected to Congress. The next
year he was nominated for President
on the Greenback ticket. The time
was not then ripe for a reform party,
though many had already seen the
degraded tendency of both old parties.
But Gen. Weaver got a large vote, not
w~ithstanding a report sent out just on
the eve of tho election that he had
withdrawn from the Grace, which caused
many to vote otherwise. He has been
identified with the reform movement
for years, has stood by and with the
people, though detrimental to himself
politically and financially.

A MAGNIFICENT OFFER.

FOmeroy'S Advanced Thought, ID
foremost magazine of it's kind in hi
country, and which is published !
New York, through its noble eiha
who was a warm admirer of Presia
Polk, makes the following geDarH
offer, which will interest all our PeQa
and for which we tender the HEARTH.
thanks of all his friends:
"Col. Polk left a wife and threeca
dren in other than comfortable CiCl1
stances. Instead of working to sup
port his family, he labored to advans
a cause that was dear to him. If thNa
he served in his glorious work Of ba
ing to build up a party of the Pe0P4
will contribute eight thousand dollar
and trust it to us for investment VI
will add one thousand dollars theTe-
and find parties who will add anOtls
thousand thereto, and will invest 10
ten thousand where it will bring tOt1
widow and children Of Col. Polk lou
hundred dollars every six months y
fifteen years, and at the end Of the1
teen years will bring them the full SUI Z
of ten thousand dollars, and we w
personally guarantee the payment o. =
the interest and the principal as u5s
same falls due. One dollar from eGl
Farmers Alliance in this country tla
invested would prove a great hell, '
those he loved and left behind as Cd
grand soul went marching on"
The Advonce Thought proposes =
raise $4,000 of the sum if Others WI
raise IS, 1000, which, no doubt, will
done.
