BE PATIENT.

The Wilmington Star advises the
people to drop all financial legislation
for the present-and do what9 1t does
not explain what. All we can guess
is that it wants them to act the fool
once more, vote for Cleveland and
Blaine or whoever the p~lutocrats of
both parties choose to put up. This is
strange advice. It admits that the OBJ
ponents of free coinage-and that
mean opponents of all financial legis-
lation-hold the balance of power, It
further admits that a large majority
Of the people of the United States favor
financial reform. Now why is it not
just as practical for this "large ma
jority" to hold the balance of power?
They can do it if they mean business,
and whip out the gold-bugs O the first
round.

THE WORD"

The Raleigh correspondent Of the
Wilmington Messenger and other
dailies, continues to state that THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER has "attacked "
or will ATTACK" this or that man or
party. The latest is that the people
are curious to see whether or not this
paper will "attack" Elias Carr; that
it did "attack" him sometime ago."
Now this correspondent ought to
know better than to make such state
ments. No "attack" was made on
Bro. Carr. He himself did not so re-
gard it. W. accused him Of nothing,
but did differ with him as to the con-
struction placed upon one or more Sec
tions of the st. Louis platform. We
did it in a way that could not be mis-
understood. If Bro. Carr was not con
WINGED that his views we're erroneous,
he has not intimated that much, nor
that he is not open to conviction. We
have stated through these columns and
privately, often, our opinion Of Bro.
Carr, and have had no occasion to "at-
tack" him on matters concerning the
Alliance, and seldom have differ ed
with him as to Alliance principles.

COT. KINGSBURY READS THE
RIOT ACT.

Last Wednesday the Wilmington
Messenger was red hot and foaming at
the mouth. Before the Messenger goes
much further we want to know if it is
true that a certain rich corporation
shapes it's policy, dictates it's editorials,
etc. There is a rumor out to this eff
feet, and it should be made clear or
else the people will not wonder when it
claws the air at such a rate.
Here is the riot act:
$50 the Third party is regularly
organized in North Carolina despite
the many protests of Polk that he was
being misunderstood and misrepre-
sented as to his intentions and plans
all along. The full machinery of this
new agrarian and revolutionary con-
glomerate-the chief advocate now of
Capitalization in the Federal Govern
ment and of Selling the private property
of hundreds of thousands of people
will soon be at work in all the town
ships, counties and districts of the
State. 1t clearly means business, and
it's chief purpose seems to be to confer
a barren honor on Polk, who plants
himself squarely on the infamous St.
Louis platform, the principles of which

may be forced on the people at Chi ago.
They see Democratic conventions in
Southern States declaring for free
silver in their platforms and instruct
ing their delegates to vote for the great
champion of anti silver and Wall
street. They are disguised with this
great farce. They are ~nauseated with
this d~isgraceful insincerity. They re-
pudiate this ~rottenness and corruption.
They have resolved that they will no
longer be bound to Wall street dicta.
ton. Who blames them? If they are
honest and patriotic, what else could
be expected than that they will put up
their own electoral ticket and vote for
it? The PROGRESSIVE FARMER months
ago, predicted that a full electoral
ticket would be put up in all the South
ern States. And now it predicts that
it will be heard from on the 9th of next
November. The people of the South
and West will no longer be deluded
into the support of Wall street or its
tools, but they are coming together
and declare against the corruption and
tyranny.

ENTITLED TO THANKS.

Now that congratulations over the
work of the late Democratic State Con-
vention are about over, or at least
cooling down to their proper or ''tepid
warm" temperature, we cannot with
hold our thanks, and with us our ALI
ance people generally, to the News and
Observer and the State Chronicle, the
two Democratic daily papers published
in Raleigh, for the aid they rendered in
defeating the Plaid Trust and other
monopolistic candidates.
They never intended that their guns
should be so heavily loaded as to kick
backward, but they did so all the
same. And when these defeated can
didates begin to inquire, chow it is
possible they are left out" let them get
down their files of these "two organs"
and read their editorials, their cor
respondents reports and their teIe-
grams-read their attempts to brighten
and stife the expression of an oppressed
but as yet free people. Let them read

OUR POSITION, POLITICALLY.

For a few weeks The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER has been "in the swim " politi-
calIy. We do not hate politics, but we
despise Partisan methods. But there
are times when we feel it our duty to
push up our sleeves and exercise the
rights of a citizen. Though in no case
have we done this unless we thought
we could serve the cause and the peo-
pie we represent. We have not been
actuated by a desire to aid any man or
party.
OF late we have given everybody a
hearing. Democrats, Republicans,
Prohibitionists, Peoples party men,
all have had the use of our columns to
give vent to their feelings. After this
issue no partisan matter will appear
in our columns. So our friends will
please save time and trouble by not
writing such matter. We shall do our
best to educate. Our advice shall be
as in the past: "Vote for the men and
parties that will serve you best"

WHAT A KICKER KNOWS.

Last Thursday night after Elk. Gov.
st. John made his speech, in which he
advocated government ownership of
railroads, a prominent official kicked
vigorously; said it was "pure rot" A
by-stander asked him if he knew how
many miles of railroads there are in the
country. He said no. He then asked
him if he knew how much they cost
per mile. He said no. He asked him
to name a few of the objections to gov
eminent ownership. He said he had
not studied the question and was not
prepared to argue the case. When
you hear kickers prating, just quietly
find out how much they know and
then you can know whether they are
prepared to settle the matter or not.

~ The Wisconsin Peoples party

~ There is too much of everything.
We think that the best plan for the
farmers is to hold up a year and let the
surplus drift away before they raise
any more crops.
~ Some of our contemporaries
want to know why we put up a
rooster in our columns last week. We
answer by asking them why they didn't
have up a rooster?
~ The Peoples party of Oklahoma,

cation to Omaha and declared unani-
mously for Gen. J. B. Weaver for

"Esau; or, the Bankers Victim"
is a new novel just published by Mr..
T. A. Bland, of Washington, D. @. It
is very interesting and will make valu-
able reform reading. Price, 25 cents.
~ 1t is strange indeed that farmer
will vote to loan money to bankers at
one per cent. and borrow it himself at
from eight to ten and more. Yet they
are doing it every time they cast a Re
publican or Democratic vote.
Thevery fact that the moneylords
say "ours is the best financial system
the world ever saw" is conclusive proof
that it is not what the people need. If
it was not "the best for the money
lords they would be kicking against it.
~ A novel plan is being operated in
the Dakotas. Each Sub-Alliance is
asked to prepare and seed a certain
number Of acres of land to wheat. This
is to be an offering for the spread of

that object. 1t is said that hundreds
of acres will be used in that manner,

NO DoDG1NG; SHOW YOUR HAND

"No candidates nominated upon the
st. Louis platform can or ought to be
elected to any office in this country"
so says the State Chronicle.
But what do the people say9 Thir-
teen industrial organizations, repre-
senting nearly every State in the Union
and representing four to five millions
of voters, framed and adopted that
platform and they will differ with the
Chronicle. Ninety-one of the ninety
six counties of North Carolina declare
that they differ with the Chronicle
and they will emphasize that declara-
ton at the ballot-box next November
by voting only for the candidates who
will stand faithfully by that platform.
That class of papers to which the
Chronicle belongs has commended for
the same thing in regard to the Ocala
platform for the past eighteen months.
And now what will they do about the
State platform and Mr.. Carr and
others who were nominated on it? The
people will not be deceived longer by
this style of negative argument. The
Democratic press of this State have
something more to do in this State
campaign than to denounce the St.
Louis platform. There a be no dodg-
ing allowed. They may, and of course
will, denounce the st. Louis platform
and it's friends, but in the end they
may find it more profitable to devote
a little of their time to the advocacy
Of their State platform. They cannot
repeat, successfully, the old dodge Of
1890. The people have not forgotten
how the Alliance feature Of the State
platform of that year was ignored and
lodged. They believe that it was in
~corporated into that platform simply
to deceive them and to catch their
votes.
The people are wide awake. They
are determined not to be deceived
longer. They intend to know here
after that their votes are cast for
friends, true and loyal friends, and
not for enemies, and they will not
overlook the fact that Democratic pa
pers have eagerly rushed to the front
and declared that adherence to the
St, Louis platform is to be the test in
this platform. Verify, whom the
gods would destroy, they first make
mad Gentlemen of the Democratic
press, you have taught thousands of
Democrats to believe that the Ocala
