GIVE must not destroy our pro-
tective system. 1t has accomplish
ed wonders. 1t has fostered our in
dustries, built up our manufactures
and opened our wilderness. 1t has
elevated our manhood, dignified our
labor and educated our people. 1t
has made our valleys to laugh in their
gladness, and, touching our barren
mountain sides, has caused the wa
ters ofcommercial prosperity to flow
DER all the land. 1t has made the
flag of our nation typify all that is
great of human action, all that is
grand of human thought. God only
knows what it would not do for us if
the Democratic party would only
leave it alone. Nathan Goff.

THE Steamship Indiana, which
sailed from Philadelphia on Wash

starving Russians, put into Rus
sian harbor Wednesday. The ship
went in with the American flag fly
ing, to be welcomed by salutes from
Russian war vessels, by Russian
bands playing "The Star Spangled
Banner" and by crowds of enthusi-
astlc people. This was spectacle
to stir the hearts ofpeople the world
over, and this free gift of generous
Americans to needy Russians may
become a landmark in a new order
of national comfy. The Missouri,
with another ship load of provisions,
will give impetus to the sentiment
created in Russia by the arrival ot
the Indiana, and the United States
will have achieved one of the great
victories of peace.

order to work on their orations.
Miss L. NJ. Harris, th% assistant

from actual experience.
The Alpha Sigma Society will de-
bate the following question next
Friday night; "Resolved, That Ma
tionalization will prevail" This
will be the debate of the year. All
the friends of the Society are invit-
ed to be present on that eve ming.
Rev. James E. Rogers, Ph. D., d,

Church, Friday evening, April 1st,
subject, "Politics and other Tics"
Every one should avail himself of
this opportunity of hearing Doctor
Rogers.
Maryville College is to have its
first field day next May. Let every
student "lend a hand" and help the
thing along. The cooperation of
all the students is necessary to sue
cess. Let every one enter for sew
eral "events." 1t doesn't make any
difference if one does get left. The
base ball men ought to enter all the
races, their practice in starting
quick will enable them to run the
bases a great deal more successful
ly. A prize will be awarded to the
winner in each exercise; and the
one winning the most points during
the day, and the second last, will
each be given gold medal. The
) Faculty will cooperate with the
students, and do all they can tc
make the day a success. The
grounds cannot be laid out and put
in order as they ought to be this
year, but it is safe to say that if the
students take an interest in the
field day this year, the Faculty will
put the field in good shape for next
year.

pose of getting opinions from all sec

notice that the editor snot responsible

Some of the writers have overstepped
the limits of space given. We have
put in all answers in full in this issue,

spreading yourself over half of the

may be expected, the answers take a
wide range. Some think this or that

of the answers no doubt, will not be the

BUT IS IT.

The Oxford Dag says ga bill iniu-
rious to tobacco interest, was In
PRODUCED in the National House of Rep
resentatives Saturday by Mr.. Stahl-
necker, ofNew York. It imposes an in
ternal tax of ten dollars a thousand on
all cigarettes wrapped in paper"
Is it injurious ? We wouldnot like to
see anything done to injure the tobacco
business, but a comparatively small
amount of tobacco goes into the manu-
~facture of cigarettes. So if the whole
business was knocked into pi it would
not injure the country at large. The
injury done the boys of the land and
the useless expenditure of money for
the vile things called cigarettes far out
weighs the good the business does. We
would not object to a tax of so. 900 on
each cigarette made, and would rather
see that than SO on each thousand.

CONGRESSMAN GRADY ON

The people of Chicago conceived a
great plan for a royal visit from the
American Congress. They sent a lumi-
nous invitation to each member of Con
gress, to visit that city on the 22d inst,
and rendered the use of trains, free
passes, the hospitality of the city, etc.
They were even so considerate as to
send a return envelope and a neat ere

answer. Our own Grady wrote his re.
ply as follows:

members Of Congress as proposed.
would it not be advisable to spend that
amount on the Exposition rather than

THE UNION OF THE BLUE AND

The above is the title of a beautiful
niece of music just from the press. 1t
was composed and set to music by Mr..
Arthur Gore, of San Francisco, Cal,
and was suggested to the author by
fraternaI sentiments expressed by
President L L. Polk in his speech at
Los Angeles, and at Indianapolis. Ex-
tracts from both these speeches appear
on the title page, with a splendid pic
ture of President Polk. The author
dedicates it to our President. 1t is got
ten up in the best style of the art and
is destined to become very popular. 1t
should be in the parlor of every home
in the land and every glee club should
have it. It is five pages; price, 40
cents Send us the money and we will
secure it for you.

TWO OF A KIND.

The Western Guard, an Alliance
paper published at Madison, Minnesota,
only recently started, is having some
fun with the other two papers in the
town. It seems that one man owns
both papers. One is a Republican
organ, the other a Democratic organ.
One man is editor of both. The Guard
didn't interfere until the other two pa
pers jumped on it, then it turned loose
and exposed the whole game.
That is a rare bit of partisan consis-
tency-running two kinds of papers
by the same a But we suppose the
editor consoles himself with the thought
that there is not much difference be-
tween the two parties. Oh! this wicked
world.

DO YOUR EARS BURN?

We have a long list of those who owe
us on back subscriptions, and some
times we look over it and are surprised
at the large number of good men we
recognize there. And as hard times
pinch US for debts we owe and we
think how much easier it would be for
1850 men to pay us 81 each than it is
for us to lose 81, ZOO, we can't help
thinking hard thoughts. Pay up,
brethren and friends, and come in a
club for another year.

NERO FIDDLED WHILE ROME
BURNED

There is much unrest among the peO-
pie in all agricultural sections, particu
farly in the South; and if the farmers
believe their interests are sacrificed to
promote the prosperity Of New York,
they will not respond to the appeals to
stand by the party. For twenty-five
years the legislation of the country has
been in the interest Of the classes and
against the masses, and it has built up
a few rich men and impoverished the
many. This will read strangely TO
those far removed from agricultural
districts, but it is the simple statement
of a fact. The people need to have the
burdens imposed upon them removed,
and they will not consent to have their
interests sacrificed for political advan-
tage in pivotal States. The Democrats
will be held responsible for the leglsla-
ton of the House, and they ought to
devise and execute measures OF relief
and pass them through the House and
throw the responsibility of their defeat
upon the Senate. Unless the House
acts wisely and in conformity to the
popular Democratic demand we cannot
promise the Democratic nominee the
electoral vote of North Carolina.-Stute

Somebody, it seems, has heard
from the gravel train" We transfer
the above from the editorial columns
of the Chronicle, as it is good Alliance
doctrine and makes good and accept

the people r growing tired of this
party twaddle and nonsense about

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABoUT1Ta

Let every Allianceman in North
Carolina work now. Let him see all
his neighb RS and induce them to sub
scribe at once for THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. Get their names and hand
them to your secretary at next meet
ing. There is scarcely an Alliance in
the State that cannot send in % sub
scoibers. We put a club If 25 or more
a. 70 cents each for one year.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-02-23
WE ALL HOPE 1T WILL.

The Tarboro Farmers Advocate says
it is about settled that the first bill re-
ported fromthe House Waysand Means
Committee will be that placing binding
Irvine, an agricultural necessity, on
the free list. No antagonism to the
bill is expected from Democratic
sources. Is it possible that Congress
intends helping the poor farmer? We
hope they will recognize the farmers
condition after awhile.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-02-23
WILL YOU HELP US oUTa

We have calculated that if we could
get 25 subscribers from each Sub ALI
ance in North carolina we could just
cover cost at 70 cents each. And for
the good of the cause we have proposed
to any Sub Alliance sending us 25 or
more subscribers for the next twelve
months to put them at 70 cents each.
Now let every member work up his
neighbors and hand their names in to
the secretary at once.
