THE BUSINESS AGENCY.

Has your Alliance a business agent9
Is he a properly bonded oficial9 Is he
taking the orders of the brethren for
goods and tr ading through our State
Business Agent9 If not, why not?
These are not idle questions. Every
Alliance should see to it at once that
the best business man in the Alliance
is made business agent; that he is
properly bonded and places himself in
prompt communication with the State
Agent at Raleigh. The State Agent is
one of the most energetic, wide awake,
active and safe business men in the
State. He keeps posted. He can help
you, He could just as well as not pur-
chase the shoes, hats, clothing, cook
ing utensils, plows, hoes, axes, stoves
and in fact everything the brotherhood
need. He could purchase them at
as low prices as any merchant could
and save the merchants profit to our
members. Let your Sub-Alliance thor
oughly organize on strictly business
principles. Let the brethren get to-
gether, decide what they want, cor
respond with brother Worth and see if
arrangements cannot be made whereby
every member of the Order can get all
he wants; sugar, coffee, molasses, i'm
plements of every kind, clothing,
shoes, ETC., in fact everything that is
wanted. This is one of the main objects
of the Alliance. 1t costs the Order M
more to purchase all the whole brother
hood wants than it does to purchase
one-tenth of what one-tenth of them
want, and it does not cost as much to
run the whole State Agency as it costs
to run any first-class merchandising
establishment doing not more than
half the business. What, pray, is a
merchant He IS simply a business
agent for a certain line of such friends
as elect to trade with him. He is sim

ply a self-appointed agent for his cus
toners. How many of these agents
are there in North Carolina9 AS many
as there are of bankers, commission
merchants, clothiers, hardware dealers,
bar keepers, etc., all combined. Who
appoints them? They appoint them
selves. Who pays them! They get it
from the customers they serve. Who
are their customers? The farmers of
North Carolina Isn't the whole army
of merchants of every class and com
mission men of every class, with their
legions of clerks and drummers, a very
expensive luxury for the farmers to
carry? 1t surely is. We are not fight
ing these men. They are taking care
of themselves. They have thorough
organizations. They work together
for their W interest and protection,
and if the farmers would stand to-
gether as n man and purchase every
possible article they need through the
State Agency, and do without that
they do not need for a very few years,
there is not one in a thousand who
would not stand to the Order and fight
for it if need should arise.

JUST WAIT.

There will be some loud calamity
bowling donein New York and vicinity
one of these days. First, the coal
mines raised the price of coal. Next
the railroads raised the freigh5. a few
days ago the retail coal dealers in New
York held a meeting and raised the
price twenty-five cents per ton. There
IS now nothing left for the people but
to stand and be robbed. There is a
fair prospect of another rise all along
the line. The South has been the para
disc for trusts a long time. Now that
the Northeast is getting pulled at such
a vigorous rate, the chances are that
calamity howlers will be heard from
pretty soon.

NOW WE SEE 1T.

The Woman's Chronicle, edited by
ladies at Little Rock, Ark, thinks one
of the objections to Mrs. Lease as a
Senator is that she would not be likely
to patronize the bar room in the Ma
tional Capital building.
There is something in this. That sa-
loon is one of the Infant industries"
and must be protected. The most
ardent tariff reformers want to see it
flourish, and to elect any body to Office
who would not be a regular patron
would be a crime. In this saloon legis-
lation is blocked. The dignifed Sen
ator and the solemn looking Congress
man are taken in there. A glass or
two of fine whisky makes them feel
rich, and they easily convince them
selves that America is inhabited by a
set of ignorant calamity howlers, and
no legislation is needed.

FIRST GUN FOR THE RELIEF
FUND.

Friday, the first payment was made
through the relief plan of the State
Alliance. A check was sent for $50 to
Bro. George w. Brown, a member of
Monticello Alliance, No. 1926, Wash
ington county. His loss was the death
of a horse. It will be quite a help to
him, no doubt.
So far only a small portion of the
ub-AlIiances have paid in their quar-
terly contribution to the fund. All
should attend to this at once and get in
position to share the advantages. A
few days ago a Sub Alliance sent in
their portion due the fund. and then
made application for payment of a
Ioss occurring several months ago.
Remember that no losses orc ps55 ~
Iess sney occur after the Alliance be-
0OHeS member of the relief fund.

. MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY
NEW YEAR.

It has been the custom in this estab-
lishment, as it is in most well regulated
newspaper offices, for all the force to
take one week in each year to visit
their cousins and sweethearts and have
a good time. So you need not look for
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER next week.
We take this occasion to thank
u friends and subscribers for
their past patronage, and wish
for them all the mirth and hap
piness possible during the holiday
and the blessings of a Di
vine providence to guide them through
the incoming year. What a good time
it will be for our frie nds to remember
us also and send in their clubs of re-
newals and new subscribers. We hope
we shall hear from many of you be-
tween this and our next issue, January
I'd 1898.

v HAS BEEN.

It is impossible to please everybody.
Bro. Miller of the LiVing Issues, pub
lished at High Point, eriticizes THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER for dropping
the Peoples party; )" says the party
is now without a mouthpiece." Bro.
Miller has fallen into an error Just as
others have. This paper never has
been a party organ. Since it has been
published, the teaching of the Alliance
has been to support the men and
parties that recognize demands as
just, Four years ago this paper adj
vised its readers to vote with the Demo
cratic party because we believed it's
platform nearer the Alliance than the
Republican. Two years ago the State
campaign was fought. Without au-
thority from anybody we urged the
Democratic party to accept the Ocala
platform, and asked every voter to go
into the primaries, county and State
conventions and insist on recognition.
AS a result the entire Democratic ele-
ment in the Alliance did so. At the
same time many Republicans who be-
lieved in u principles joined in and
voted that way. Many Alliancemen
were elected to legislative and county
offices. This paper did this believing
it to be the best for the Alliance. W.
defended quite a number of Democrats
because we believed them to be good
Alliancemen. Still The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER was not "pGrtisan." This
year the same course was pursued, but
many were kept out of the primary
and county conventions illegally. Our
platform was not adopted. The PEG
pies party did adopt it, however. But
this paper never became a party organ.
We published less partisan matter
during the campaign of 1892 than for
the same time in 1888 and 1890. We
simply followed our own teaching
stick to the men and parties that stand
by our principles. We did not make
personal warfare on the candidates of
any party. When necessary, we did
defend Alliancemen and Alliance prin-
ciples. We published appointments
for State conventions and speakers
All this we did during other cam
paigns. We did our best to expose po-
litical trickery and fraud this we ex-
pect to do as long as we do anything.
There are plenty of people who will
testify that they wrote partisan mat
ter, a great deal of it, too, which we
did not publish. There has not been
an issue of this paper since it started
that did not contain something more
or less political. We have friends in
all parties-friends whom we try to &C.
commodate. In doing so, we have
felt often like they were asking too
much. But as much political matter
as we have admitted to our columns,
it is small in comparison to the amount
that has been left out.
We have dropped nothing. Our prin-
ciples are right. We shall defend them
to the end, and the party or men that
recognize them may always expect
hearty encouragement. However,
since the election, we deem it best to
avoid political discussions, and for that
reason requested our correspondents
to write on other matters, as there is
no use fighting after the war is over.
Men are still hot headed, and imme-
diately after a campaign r likely to
say too much, as well as during a cam
paign.

BAD DOINGs IN A

The French Government is in a tur-
mol over the recent corrupt develop
ments in connection with the Panama
Canal. One after another of the mem
bers of the Cabinet have resigned, and
it appears that President Carnot will
have to reorganize his staff. Money,
it seems, was freely used, and persons
in high authority accepted it with
thanks. Not only that but there are
grave suspicious of murder all through
the scandal.
1t will be q wonder if something of
the kind does not occur before he
Nicaragua Canal business is settled.

A BOLD SCHE

Last week while the Anti Option bill
was under consideration in the Senate,
the price of cotton was lowered in New
York, the object being to create the
impression that the passage of the bill
would lower the price of products. Yet
these same men agree that supply and
demand govern prices at all times.
They also claim that farm products
are kept up in price by the future
dealers, Right there is a contradictory
statement. Who will be foolish enough
to believe such logic9
When the Alliance first declared
against option dealing it struck the
keynote to a great many of the wrongs
that the farmers suffer and it would
be worse than cowardly to stop the
tight for the passage of a good bill. The
Hatch bill evidently is on the right
line, but if it does not cover all the
ground we hope all the friendly repre-.
sentatives in Washington will go to
work and make it what we want. The
very fact that the future dealers are sc
bitterly opposed to the passage of the
bill is proof that it will benefit the
farmers and everybody else except
those who r getting millions out o.
the business.
