The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-04-26

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE farmers
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wRge-workers in general. In a clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation Of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARMERS SIDE has just been issued,
and makes a handsome and substantial book
of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
fishers price. The book may be obtained at
our office, or we will forward copies to any
address, postpaid, on receipt of $1.OO per copy.

PLATFORM
FINANCE.

First-We demand a national currency safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the General Gov
eminent only, a full legal tender for all debts,
public and private; and that without the use of
efficient leans of distribution direct to the peO-
pie at a tax not to exceed , per cent. be provided,
as set forth in the Sub-1Teasury plan of the
armer Alliance, or some better system; also,
by payments in disCl arge of it's obligations for
public improvements.
a. We demand free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
b. We demand that the amount of circulating
medium be speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
C. We demand a graduated income tax.
q. We believe that the money of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the hands
of the people, and hence we demand all national
and State revenue shall be limited to II e neceS-
Sary expenses Of the government economically
and honestly administered.
6. We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe de
pOsit of the earnings of the people and to facili-
tate exchange.
SecOnd-The land, including all the natural
resources of wealth, is the heritage of all the
people and should not be mOnOpOliZed for speCu-
lative purposes, and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations In excess OF
their actual needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens, should be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION
neutrality-suspicious. being a means of eX-
change and a public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads in the in
terest of the people.
a. The telegraph and telephone, like the post
office system, being a necessity for transmission
of news, should be owned and operated by the
government in the interest of the people.

What's coming over Toledo. Five OF
her cOuncilmen have been found guilty
of "boodleing." In this country it takes
II men who are willing to swear they
don't know enough to pound s;lnd
to form jury. Toledo has been
able to get so different men to take
such an oath who have up to
Monday convicted five members OF
the city council of working TOR Doodle.
These 60 "knOw nothlng,' have done
good work for the city, and we think it
would be q good thing If the city would
pay them a salary and keep them on
duty until the city is completely reno
waited OF its corruption. Dishonest Off
cals throughout the country should talk e
warning. When dishonesty becomes
unpopular in Toledo it is fair indica-
tiOn that there is prospect Of the mil
lennium coming soon.

The Stun Blew Itself.

On Thursday of last week, n noise
was heard in this vicinity which peo-
pie thought was thunder, but we learn
from the Daily Sentine! that it was
nitro glycerine.
In section 10, Plain township, on the
VIM. Legally farm, the Ohio Oil Co.
have lease and drilled in IL we'll, on
the West side of the Haskins road,
about four miles from B. G.. The we'll
was to be shot on Thursday and Clark
Robinson of Cygnet was doing the job.
James Gillis driller, and John John
son, general superintendent for the
Ohio Oil Co., were in the derrick
watching the proceedings. Four shells
of 20 quarts each were to be used. three
of which had been lowered, and the
fourth was being sent down, when
lGillis noticed an unusual agitation,
and exclaimed, "She's going TO flow;
run for your lives" and the men made
good use OF their legs, but before they
could get far away, the shell was
thrown from the mouth of the we'll and
striking the end OF a beam exploded
with terrific force. Everybody in
the vicinity was more or less shocked
and the huge derrick WAS broken into
kindling wood. and the air was filled
with debris. Robinson, who was in
charge, escaped lninjured but johnson
was struck by flying missel and had
both bones of the arm broken Just above
the wrist.
Just across the road is located the
residence of Joseph Hampton, father
of G. A. Hampton of Pcrrysburg. Mrs
Hampton and daughter were in Toledo
doiag some trading, and heard the
explosion, and when they arrived
home found that their residence was
completely ruined by the accident
There were number OF people in the
house but no one was seriously hurt.
Every window In the vicinity was
shattered, and the Grange Hall
located near Hampton's house was also
badly damaged.
The well Immediately took fire and
burned for some time until it was shu,
in.

The celebrated Homestead strike is
ever. From 1000 to 5000 worklngmen
have been without employment since
the latter part of June. The strike has
cost the Carnegies many thousands OF
dollars, has been the cause of much
want and suffering among the locked
out men, and thousands of union labor
ing men in various parts of the coun-
try have been compelled to pay Il por-
ton OF their earnings to the support of
those men at Homestead who were
neither willing to work themselves nor
permit others TO work in their places
While the Carnegies have lost
much money their losses have been
nothing compared with the losses and
suffering brought upon these men by
their own foolish and criminal acts.
When competent workingmen ask
for higher wages because they earn it.,
they prove themselves to be men of
courage and sense. When they are re-
fused an increase they are entitled to
quit work and step out like men and
hunt for employment where their SER
vices will be appreciated for their true
worth and they will have the sympathy
OF all people, but when such men are
refused an increase and they set about
preventing others from accepting the
positions and wages they have refused
to accept they are then throwing away
all right to the sympathy of the people
When the people form themselves
into lawless mobs and kill and injure
tho men who are peaceably accepting
their vacated positions, such people
not only forfeit their right to SYM
pathy, but make of themselves Grim
mals and should be treated as such.
1t Is much easier for the wealthy
manufacturer to remain idle than for
the laboring man to do so: the one can
put his money to good use at a low
rate OF interest and live comfortably
while the other can starve looking for
principle" as they usually call the
motive which inaugurates strike.
'Prlnciplc" is Il mighty good thing but
1t don't set well on an empty stomach,
and the workingman who throws up
his job and sits down waiting for the
capitalist to come around begging him
to go to work generally gets left. The
wise MIN does not strike.

reported to me this spring that they
were in favor of the town system, and a
large majority in favor of using the
Huntington fund to establish libraries.
The usual objection made, if any, was
that while it would be best for the schol-
ars in the villages, those in the rural dis
tricts would not get their share of the
books. Now think the town of Rock
ingham has already disposed of that OBJ
lection. Your county examiner, Mr..
Ryder, informs me that that town appro-
PIRATES $500 annually for free public
library, that books are sent once week
from the main library at Bellows Falls
into three or four sections of the town,
and that in this way all the people are
supplied.
| have already extended these remarks
too far, but l assure youth at regard
these reforms for improving the rural
schools, of vital, momentous consequences
to the State, that they could be carried
out with no great friction, with no great
cost, and eventually to the satisfaction
of all intelligent people, and that we
then should have school system, SYM
metrical, progressive, the pride of every
| true son of Vermont.
