THE DURHAM FERTILIZER
BUSINESS.

The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is not the
organ of the Durham Fertilizer Com
pany, neither is it the organ of the
State Experiment Station or Agricul
tural Department. We stand ready
to commend either or condemn either.
We did not approve of the manner
n which the Durham Company had
been treated during the past two years.
Other companies made goods that did
not come up to the standard guarantee
at all times. Their goods were not
seized by the State Department. Last
April and May the Bulletin issued by
the State Experiment Station showed
that eighteen different brands of guano
failed to come up to the guarantee.
The goods of the Durham Company
yer the only ones seized. According
to the testimony Of one of the inspec-
tors in the Superior Court, other COM
panies shipped guano before the tags
were put on, yet for this irregularity
the Durham goods were the only ones

suit and was thrown out of court.
State Chemist Battle at once issued a
printed circular stating that the ''pith
of the case had not yet been tried"
We promptly asked him to proceed.
Up to this time there has been no pub
lie action taken. The State Chemist
has had nearly two months to institute
suit and yet nothing has been heard
of it.
Again we respectfully ask that the
"pith be tried" The State Chemist
should ventilate the matter at once.
Don't wait until the fertilizers are
bought and put in the ground; now is
the time to push the business or else
forever after hold your peace.

THE OLE PARTY CAR.

A darby was asking old uncle Jake
about a party platform. Uncle Jake
said, "Bless yer life, niger, don't yer
know what them platforms is? Dey is
jes like dat platform on dat car yonder.

git IN on. An den when you git in de

THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICAL
PARTIES.

That there is a tremendous under
current in public sentiment in North
Carolina and throughout the South in
favor of independent political action,
as the only hope for that relief, which
the people feel they must have, no in
telligent or observant man can deny.
No one will now deny that it is strong
ly probable that a national indepen-
dent ticket will be put in the field this
year and that it's presidential electors
will be voted for in all the States. Any
one at all c~Onversant with public
sentiment in North Carolina knows
that there is a strong feeling among
her people in favor of the Peoples
party. 1t is o purpose to dis.
cuss now, the wisdom or justice of this
sentiment, nor the various reasons
assigned for its existence. But we
realize the fact and the significance of
it's existence. 1t is here and in stronger
volume and force than its opponents
will admit. or even than it's friends are
aware of. It only needs an occasion
for it's manifestation. Politicians had
Just as we'll admit and recognize the
fact. And we had as we'll say that
those who regard independent political
action as an absolute necessity, r
FESTIVE and impatient for opportunity
to declare their convictions. Evidences
to us are not wanting, Of the truthful
ness of this assertion. And we should
go further to be candid, and say that
this feeling is growing and strengthen
ing every day.
1t is the duty of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER as the official organ of the
State Alliance to say to those of our
Order, who are in favor Of such action
that the Alliance as an organization
cannot, under our laws, endorse any
political party. It's members, as free
citizens of this country, can and should
exercise the most perfect and I'm
trammelled freedom in their political
action and affiliations. They should
consult their own judgment and con-
sciences in selecting o. endorsing such
party, as they honestly believe will
best carry out their principles. Ifthey
want to hold meetings and endorse any
party, they should do it in the capacity
of citizens and not as an Alliance. We
should preserve organization as a
great educational force, and to do this
it should not be converted into q pc
litical party. We admonish the Ali
of our State to keep coOl-be
cautious, watchful and deliberate-be
firm and true as steel to your prin-
ciples. Vote for no man or men or
party who opposes your principles
Extend the cordial hand of friendship
to all men or to any party who stand
faithfully by your principles. This is
the only way by which you can hope
to secure their recognition and enforce
ment. Form no e~ntangllng alliances
With your enemies. Demonstrate to
the world that you value principles
and the well being of your country as
the most solemn and responsible charge
that can be committed to your care as
a citizen. Stand by and for these and
all will be we'll.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The keeper of a resort for thieves
has been elected to the Illinois legisla
ture. That is purity of partisan
politics" with a vengeance.
~ A county treasurer in Nebraska
is short $50, 900. Wouldn't it be a good
idea to examine the affairs of officials
oftener9 Then the shortage could not
amount to much.
~ 1t has been said that men some
times buy an Office. A western reform
paper, writing up the recent Senatorial
contest in Kansas, remarks that per
kins was the highest bidder"
The California and the Alliance
Tribune, two excellent reform papers,
have been consolid 4ted and r now
publis1ed at Los Angeles. The com
bination makes a fine show with its
new outfit
The Sub-Lecturers Of Moore
county are earnestly requested to meet
Bro. V. n. Seawell at Carthage on Fri
day, February 18th at II a. m. Each
Sub-Alliance should pay the lecturer
for the day and see that he attends.
- The Southern Mercury, of Dallas,
Texas, is ten years old. 1t is the organ
of Texas State Alliance, and was for
merly organ of the National Alliance
before a paper was established at
Washington. The Mercury is one of
the bes5 among reform papers.
~ We are profoundly grateful to
the COMMITTEES for an elegant invitation
to attend the 57th anniversary exer
cises of the Euzealian and Philoma
thesian Literary Societies of Wake
Forest College on the 18th of Feb
ruary.
Ia one day since the present Con-
gross assembled, thirty eight bills ap
propriating over sixteen million dollars
for public buildings were introduced.
If this Congress don't be careful, it will
out do the "billion dollar" Congress
that adjourned some months ago.
~ Bro. Meadows, Of the Durham
Alliance Tobacco Factory, W Is in the
city la It week on business. He says
they have plenty of chewing tobacco
in stock and r preparing for a big
trade this summer. Their trade ex-
tends over most of the United States.
In our last Congress there were
100 bankers, 80 lawyers, IA merchants,
z doctors, 4 mechanics and not a single
practical farmer or laborer. The work
men and farmers must III tie in the
fight against p~lutocracy, if they hope
for equal taxation and just laws for the
masses.
~ The Topeka Capital, the bitterest
enemy the Alliance has in the North
west, is industriously engaged in arg L
ing that the Republicans and Demo
Gratis ought to stand together and de-
feat the farmers. A pretty spectacle
for the leaders of two great political
parties to appear ini At the same time
they pretend to fight each other.
~ The Great West mentions the
fact that one of its subs 3ribers has for
months returned his paper, thereby
indicating that he wants it stopped.
But he never mentions his postofice,
and the postmaster don't say a word
either. We have had experiences of
that sort. It is strange that subscrib-

WHAT WILL THE SOUTH Do7

Will the South remain in the octO-
pus arms of the money power of the
Northern States, and thus perpetuate
a system for the robbery of our people,
or will it clasp hands with the great
West and Northwest and free the peo-
pie and restore our Government to the
great principles of justice and equality
on which it was founded ? This is the
great and vital and supreme question
of the hour,

around the family fireside tonight,
look the dear ones in the face and as a
patriot and Christian-as an honest and
sincere man, ask yourself the above
question. And as you value the liberty
and well fare of those dear ones-as
you value the blessings of civil and re-
ligious liberty, be sure that you make
no mistake in your answers.

THE ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.

No a~ssemblageo of citizens, perhaps in
the history of this country, has ever
excited such deep and universal in
terest as the one which will convene in
the city of st. Louis on the 22d inst.
The great industrial elements will
there be represented. They are to
meet and consult together for the com
mon good. The men who go there
will be sent to represent the sentiments
of their respective constituencies
They will not go there to carry out
their own peculiar and individual
views. They are not to work in the
interest of any particular political
party. They are to do the very best
thing for the relief and welfare of the
people who sent them there. We re-
greet to see some disposition in certain
quarters to pack that body in the
interest of the Democratic party. We
would quietly give out a friendly note
of warning-if any man goes to that
conference and assumes to drive his
people into a false position, he will be
repudiated, as he should be, by his
people. Let the people be watchful,
firm andfaIthful and they will triumph.
