HENDERSON COUNTY ALLIANCE
HENDERsONVILLE. N. @.

HENDERSONVILLE, N. y.
At the quarterly meeting of Hender-
son County Alliance, a recess Of 20
minutes was taken from regular bust
ness to give expressions to words of
kind remembrance of our late friend
and leader, Col. L. L Polk, and a COM
mittee composed of w. @. Cornell, J.
B. Iseman and w. D. Miller, was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions EXPIRE ssive
of our deep and heartfelt sorrow at his
loss.
WHEREAS, God in His mysterious
providence has removed from us the
great leader and champion of a cause
to which the best energies Of an active
and earnest life were being given,
Resolved, That while we will not
again meet that warm, brotherly
grasp of the hand so familiar to many
of us, will not again listen to that voice
of fearless elOquence that condemned
in ringing words of cor the cOrrup-
ton in high places, and the cOnse-
quences resultant to the large masses
of his labOring, struggling fellow men,
Short years than often falls to the lot of
public men through a long and active
life.
2. That whilst we mourn his loss to a
cause in which his most earnest sympa
thies were enlisted, we have an IN
wavering faith in the final triumph of
the great principles of honesty. truth
and justice for which he so earnestly
and ~fearlessly contended that having
fought the good fight in all of his rela-
tions in life, he has entered into that
rest that no conflicting interest can as
sail or disturb.
8. That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER for
publication.

IRISH POTATOES.

Our potatoes grown from last falls
crop, and planted for comparison
alongside of potatoes brought from the
North, have been dug. The superior
ity of the home grown seed was appar'
ent in the growth of the plants during
the whole spring, and the result in the
crop is still more striking. The pro.
portion Of unmarketable potatoes in
the lot from homegrown seed is not
near so large as from the Northern
seed. In fact, the fine size of the pOta'
toes from the home grown seed makes
the whole crop of the potatoes from
Northern seed look like cuttings. While
the gross weight of an equal number
of hills from the Northern seed was q
Ii 5tle greater than from the home
grown seed, the additional weight was
more than made up Of cuttings, and
the marketable crop from the home,
grown seed was much heavier, and
there was not a potato in the whole
crop from Northern seed equal IN size
to the majority Of those from the home
grown seed. Alate crop will be grown
from both and th9 experiment cOnt9.

is the power the money devil has in

have succeeded, by that control, IN

DEMO PLUTocRAT ARGUMENT

Mr.. EDITOR:-The Weekly Advocate,
Democratic, gets off the following:
eff I have an old broken and worn
silver spoon, but with sc cents worth
of silver in it, that I can pay you the
dollar l owe you with that spoon be-
cause If you decline to take the spoon
I would, under free coinage, make the
government coin it and stamp it a dol
lar and make it a legal tender" How
docs that idea please Democrats? I
present you a piece of paper the same
tfneness of anationalbankn and Won
refuse to take it prOnOuncing it worth
less. Uncle Sam puts his stamp of one
dollar on it and you take it; not only
do you take it but you and your party
are the champions of this kind of
money. Sixty cents of silver coined
into a dollar don't suit Democrats, but
a piece of paper worth less than one
tenth of one per cent. coined into q
national bank note suits you to a dot.
The silver dollar is a legal tender for
private debts and national bank note
Is a debt-contracting dollar and not a
legal tender for private debts. That IS
cents spoon has increased IN value
since 1873. In 1873, before silver was
demonetized, the bullion In a dollar
would buy less than six pounds OF cot
ton; now this old silver spoon will buy
eleven pounds of cotton. The gold
dollar in 1873 would buy less than SIX
pounds of cotton, and to-day it will
buy sixteen pounds of cotton. The sill
yer spoon will measure nearly one
hundred per cent. more cotton and the
gold dollar will measure 166 per cent.
more. That old spoon has increased IN
its measuring power 20 per cent. since

Hill is a Trimmer.

Chicago Tribune: At the farewell
banquet given him at Albany Dec. 81,
he said:
"MiIIs bills, Morrison bills. single
bills, general bills, repeal bills, all alike,
are sure to be halted at the senate TIRES
hold and slaughtered in committee.
Demand repeal of the two Nc
Kinley laws. No small issues, no I'M
timely issues, no other issues. Grapple
to undo the work of the billion congress.
Put the tariff laws back where they
stood before 1888 Demand this and
demand nothing but this.
He wanted no small Springer bills for
free wool, free binding Irvine and free
cotton ties. He wished only the repeal
OF the Mckinley law and the restoration
of the tariff of 1888. This proposition
did not take. 1t was denounced furi-
ouslY by most of the southern demo-
cratic papers. Hence Mr.. Hill, "whose
aim is to please" has modified his posi-
tlon and in his speech to the convention
he indorsed the Springer policy he had
repudiated a month and half before.
He Endorsed the free wool bill in warm
terms and said:
abolish whenever you can, one after
another, ore indefensible tax at time.
This is true progress. Let us rejoice.
The senate and the executive may now
refuse the least as they refused the
largest measure of tariff reform. But of
the future of our cause we may now feel
better assured.
AT the same time that the senator
mixed little more tariff reform IN his
politics he explained that President
Cleyeland was not the inventor of the
article, and stated that the famous
message. of the latter of 1887 was but
Secretary Manning's message of 1886
writ large" Politicians are always
ready to rob living rival to enrich q
dead one.

What Good2

What good will the ballot do woman?
Everything helps woman which helps
the racer Can You imagine thought
more inspiring, one which would tend
to lift the soul further toward that
height where lies repose," than the
thought of whole nation of men who
had seen, loved ard crowned Justice?
And men having done justice to woman
by legally acknowledging her right to
the ballot would have added to their
own stature; increased their own powers
for usefulness.
When the men of Wyoming refused
to accept statehood without woman's
franchise, they were fitted for any con-
test; fitted for self -control, for defending
their state or their country because they
wore the armor of justice. The ballot
makes ofwoman power where she was
an appenGage; it teaches her judgment
where before was feeling; it affords a
weapon of defense where she was de-
fen seless. tor no natural protector, no
matter how amiable or courageous, can
protect a disfranchised being. Women
will learn that to use the ballot Alright.
one must think and act for ones self
and then no one woman can speak for
one hundred thousand. The throne of
popular sovereignty will be more firmly
established when the power behind it,
to which our attention is constantly
being called in a way suggestive of
overdone taffY, Is made responsible and
come out and views the world by sun
light instead of porting with myopic
vision over ancient saws, in the obscur-
ity of responsibility and privilege,
trappings of the throne.
What are now granted as privileges
will then be acknowledged as rights,
and men will then experience the calm
rewards of justice where they now hug
themselves for their generosity. There
will be all the difference in the status of
women that there is between that of the
man who earns his bread and he who
receives it from charity. And women
will gain in selfrespect; they have been
content too long with the crumbs which
fell from the masters tables; they are
ready now to sit at the feast.

The Ward Heller.

Mr. Hill stands In American public
life as the type of the successful practi-
cal politician in the lowest meaning of
the words. In fact, he is the apotheosis
of the ward heller. He has never put
his faith in the power of persuasion and
enlightenment. In no campaign has he
ever depended upon square advocacy of
the platform or alleged principles of his
party. His dependence has been placed
almost exclusively upon organization
and skillful catering to the liquor men
and other selfish interests. So far as
public utterance goes, he has followed
the lines of shrewd misstatements of the
position of his adversary, bitter animad-
versions upon individuals, and false
claims for approval for acts to the credit
of which neither he nor his party were
in any wise entitled. He does not rely
upon the merit either of the record or
the principles of his party so much as
upon organization, manipulation, and
combination. The word principle is
not in his vocabulary, save for use in
defamation for effect. While he does
not understand nor have any reverence
for principles as such. he docs UNDER
stand the practical advantages of every
political makeshft. and Is thoroughly
at home in all that is wrapped up in
the word ''expediency.' He has been
marvellously successful, and has grown
insolent and arrogant upon his success.
His complete subservience to the liquor
interests, his opposition to the homerule
principle and defeat of rapid transit, his
pettiness in the treatment of the patron
age in his gift, his prostitution of the
veto power and interference in local
legislation. his enmity to ballot reform,
taxation reform, and educational reform,
would have ruined the political p5o
spects of any other man.-ReUieio of
ReglcCS.
