OUR THANKS.

A four line item in a recent issue of
this paper brought out a column and a
half article from the pen of MI. O. J.
Carroll, of Raleigh, which was pub
lished in the Ne1CS and Observer of last
Tuesday. The article was a very fat
tering one to the associate editor of this
paper. If Mr.. Carroll did not overesti-
mate work, we have accomplished
more than we have hoped to do. He
says wehave succeeded in jobbing out,
in great abundance, and in almost
every household dissatisfaction to an
alarming extent"
The writer is not willing to admit
that he has done all this, for the peo-
pie have been thinking themselves.
Every time they put their hands in
their pockets they know something is
radically wrong. But, as the preachers
say, eff we can save just one poor
sinner, we will hope to win a starry
crown
AS to Mr.. Cade "being engaged or
asked or expected to perform duties of
on unpleasant character, we will quote
from his adieu to the patrons of the
paper, which shows plainly that he
had not been asked to perform I'M
pleasant duties:
After a careful and patient study
of the Sub-Treasury bill = \ y T

ciIahle conflict with my views; and The

SOME RARE ADJ

We begin in this issue a series of
political platforms. They date back
to the first one made in America, in
the year 1900, and up to 1883. Every
subscriber should begin now and file
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER away for
future use. You may feel pretty we'll
satisfied if you can at any time refer
to any party platform ever made.
Hence the Importance of saving the
papers. We cannot lind room for all
in one issue, but will publish three or
four each week until they are all pub
llshed. If you will read and study
these platforms you will find that they
r quite free in condemning wrong up
to 1876. Since that time the two lead
ing parties have changed tactics and
carefully avoided getting anything in
their platforms.

A FEW DONTS.

Don't purchase a wooden hay rake
when an all steel one costs the same.
Don't buy a rough, heavy mower,
without afOot-lift, when a light, attrac-
tive machine with lift costs no more
Don't use a clumsy, unhandy reaper
when you can get something modern
at no additional cost.
Don't forget that the Osborne is sold
on trial, and must tell it's o IN story.
Don't be deceived by the agent who
sells you a machine for a dollar less,
and leaves out Improvements worth
five dollars in gold.
Don't buy any machine without call
ing on Our agent or writing us, and
don't wait until the fields are golden
before doing SO.
Don't forget that you have wasted
some valuable time reading the above,
unless you profit by the advice and
purchase an Osborne machine, when
it becomes time well spent. See adver-
tiSement elsewhere.

THERE IS A NORTH.

Same of the New England people
have queer notions about the South,
At least the papers say so. However,
we do not believe that the papers al
wavs represent the people, at least
ONLY a small minority. A recent issue
of the Brooklyn Eagle had a remark
able editorial, from which we make
the following extract:
The Democratic Congressman from
the South and West would 90 wen 10
rncoonizn that there is a North. Ihere
is a Democratic party in the North.
With the North rests the determination
of the political character of Congresses
and the decision of presldentlakalec-
tiOns, The North is the seat OF the OesC
intelligence, the largest resources, u
soundest ideas and the lasting prlncl-
Dles of government. There is a large
Democratic vote in the North. 1t must
have it's way vita the Democracy or
the Union or the Democracy of the
Union will be beaten. TIL It Northern
Democrat; way must prevail with
and. if necessary, owe the Democracy
of the South and the West, or the party
will be beaten in the nation.
The party North anu the party South
and West do not disagree on States
rights. An ~indissoluble Union Of in
destructible States is their maxim.
They do not disagree concerning OppO
sitiOn to Capitalization. The general
government should do nothing for the
people of the States which the govern
ment of those States can better do for
the people thereof sums the Democratic
faith. This includes opposition to force
bills and interference with legislation
of all kinds.
The points of difference which do
exist touch the currency and the ap-
preparations. The Democracy of the
North are for honest money, the gold
and silver of the constitution, the gold
as the standard of value around the
world, the silver as the subsidiary me
dunn of convenience, measured and
minted on the worlds standard of
value, which is gold. The Democracy
of the West and South do not favor
this kind of money in many instances.
Their representatives, at least, do not.
There is reason to believe, however,
that in notable cases such representa-
tives do not represent the sentiment of
their constituents, They certainly do
LuOU represent IL Wu0E0 Has d
chance"
After reading the above one would
judge that all the intelligence is in the
New England States. Their idea of
right and justice must not be gainsaid.
To some extent this is true. They
are intelligent people. They are full
of business; theyread, they study, they
plan. They put business into politics,
where we of the South put sentiment.
We must change. We must have
some business ideas. Our people must
read and get posted.
Those New England people have
nursed some pet theories so long that
they really believe they are true. We
must disabuse their minds by joining
with the great West and getting our
rights. Until we do that our section
will be ]debt-ridden and mortgage
cursed.

PRESIDENT PAGES REASONS.

Maj. Mann Page, President of the
Virginia State Alliance, declined to go
as a delegate from that State to the
Chicago Convention and gave his
reasons in a letter, as follows:
Il could not accept the position as
delegate at large to the Chicago Con
vention for the reason that l would
not vote for Grover Cleveland if he
were nominated, his financial policy
being opposed to every demand we
Aliiancemen hold. In regard to the
Third party movement [ am of the
opinion that on account of the action
of our legislature in defeating the Kent
bill and their failure 20 grant other
measures demanded by the farmers,
together with the action of the House
of Representatives in ~sidetracking the
Silver bill at the dictatiOn of Wall
street, many of our staunchest Demo
Gratis have come to despair of any pos
sible relief, financially, and move
meDts looking to the organization of a
Third party r. now In progress In
very many counties in the State,
headed by men who heretofore have
been most prominent in the Demo
cratic party.
Il have been opposed to the organi-
zatiOn Of a third party, hoping that my
own party would return to Democratic
principles as expounded by Jefferson
and Jackson, and as laid down in the
Democratic platform when James Blu
chanan was nominated and Overwhelm-
ingly elected; but I am frank to con-
fess that [ have no hope that any such
course will be pursued by those who
control our party at present. The de
mands Of the Alliance are embodied in

The Wilmington St0r publishes the
following questions:
"Who caused the universal intimi
dation and bribery?
Who subsidized oc muZzled the
newspapers?
Who Frustrated business?
Who covered our homes with mort
gages3
Who concentrated the land in the
hands Of capitalists?
Who has made it necessary for urban
wOrkmen to organize for self protec-
ton?
Who imported pauperized labor2
Who gives employment to this hire
ling army which shoots down work
men?
Who stole the fruits of the toll of
millions to build up colossal fortunes?
Who has bred thesetw w great classes
-paupers and milliOnaires?
Who created money to enrich bond
holders?
Who demonetized silver to enhance
the value of gold?
Who abridged the currency to fatten
the usurper, bankrupt enterprise, and
enslave industry"
The Star also answers the questions
and says cit was the Republican
party"
No douot the Republican party was
present when all Of it was done, but
New England, Southern and Western
Democrats helped. When the people
elected a democratic majority in the
House twice and they wer too mean
and cowardly to undo the work, then
there is no use in blaming it all on the
Republicans.

In the June Arena the editor gives
one of the most vivid pictures Of the
nineteenth century Inferno which has
ever appeared in a paper, entitled The
Democracy of Darkness" He takes
us through the under world and lets US
behold glimpses of what he has wit
messed in Boston. He next notices the
problem in all our great cities, notably
New York City, giving facts and fig
ures of great value to social students.
From this he discusses the cardinal
causes which produce the democracy
of darkness, and further advances a
comprehensive plan for the ameliora-
ton of misery and an effective educa-
tional agitation. Among the leading
papers in the June Arena are, Auto

NO VITAL ISSUES.

An exchange hits some sledgeham-
mer blows after this fashion,:
cit is diffiult for a thinking, candid
man to discover any vital issue now
dividing the two old parties. The
leaders work together to oppose letting
anything modern in the way of reform
creep into the national platforms. The
tariff issue is the only thing they dare
fight over, and the leaders recognize no
practical difference of opinion among
themselves on that question. History
repeats itself about every so often, and
in the present issue of labor against
capital one old party is the open cham.
pion of the latter and the other dare
not take a stand against the source
from which they both derive aid and
comfort during political campaigns,

 The old woman ;ood it the door, erect as a soldier on duty. "Friends, I re- quest thy departurc," sue was saying. ''The place is mine; prefer it to any other habitation."
 "You are starving to death in there, ' said one of the men.
 "You won't accept invitations made in kindness. You've got nobody to care for you. It would be criminal of us to see this go on"
 ''1 will not eat the bread of depend ence, nor will become pauper," said Mrs. Fairfax. "Thee will please leave my premises" Suddenly Doris stood beside her, her dark eyes flashing. She spoke, and all listened to her clear. low voice. ''I was the betrothed wife of Franklin Fairfax" she said. "I will care for his grandmother It is my right and my duty. am young. can work. She is not an object of charity. She cannot be while live"
 And then she drew the old woman into the barn and shut the door in the faces of the others, and knelt down at her feet.
 "Let me stay," she said, i've loved him. would have been his wife. See, wear his mothers wedding ring. You might have been angry once, you will not be now; his memory will bind us together. Let me stay here for Franks sake"
 A moment more and the two women were sobbing in each others arms.
 A little later there was an interview with Uncle Matthias. ''I ain't a-goin to keep her, Doris" he said.
 ''She would not let you keep her." the girl replied.
 ''Ef you stay out of my house one night you never need come in'no more, ' Uncle Matthias declared. II kin hire Black Jim to do the chores, what l can't take and do myself, for next to nothin. A mean sly critter you've been anyway, to be engaged to Franklin Fairfax with out tellin me. dunno as 1 want such a female round. You kin have your trunk, that is all you kin have"
 'Pll pack it now," Doris said. "And Jim can bring it over" And this was done.
 Doris had few dollars in her trunk. She had once won 8 prize for the finest artemesias at the state fair, and the prize was paid in hard cash. She had kept it for her wedding outfit. But now there would be no wedding, and it kept the wolf from the barn door while she was getting her strength.
 What she was to do afterward? she tried to think. At the worst she could go out by the day to wash or house. clean, she supposed. Meanwhile there was no squalor in the barn. It was an odd place to live in, but very neat.
