A DANGEROUS SENTIMENT.

A few days ago DR.. G. w. Sander
lin, State Auditor, had an appointment
to speak at huntsville, in the western
part of the State. Some toughs at that
place, who are Republicans, had said
that no Democrat could again make a
speech there. A drunken fellow by the
name of PARROT crease ed a disturbance,
and, it is said, tried to cut DR.. Sander
lin with a knife while he was speaking
in the court house. He was seized and
hustled out. At the door other tOughs
had collected and a fight ensued, in
which several on both sides were in
iured. Parrot was killed.
This ~intolerant spirit is dangerous.
1t has cropped out on more than one
occasion this year. 1t appears North,
South, East and West. In Georgia
the Democrats started out by egging
Gen. Weaver and others. In Kansas
the Republicans tried the same game.
In California, New York and other
places it has cropped out. We have
not heard of Peoples party men going
so far with their zeal, but they, too,
have been intolerant in several places.
From now on it is the duty of the re-
form press to wage a vigorous cam
paign against such proceedings. Sec
tionalism has, to a great extent, been
wiped out, and this spirit of lawless-
ness and intolerance must go. All good
people, no matter which party they be
long to, must aid in stamping out this
dangerous sentiment. Freedom of
thought and speech must be sacredly

TO HOLD A

A dispatch from London a few days
ago says:
1.-The central chamber of agriculture
will tomorrow discuss the question of
holding a conference of delegates from
all parts of the United Kingdom to dis
cuss the depression in the agricultural
industry. Meetings have been held at
Liverpool, Manchester, Northampton,
Edinburgh and other centres at which
in voting on the question of holding a
natural conference wide diversity OF
views was shown IN regard to means
to be adopted to remedy the depres
sion"
Perhaps that is a good start. But
in this case, as well as all others, an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure. What is the cause of this
agricultural depression9 Certainly it
is not a lack of "home markets." for
England is literally covered with a
ufacturing cities. Her farmers are in
telligent and industrious. Improved
implements are used. The farms are
highly improved ones. Yet agricul-

tries of the country are feeling it.
England is suffering from the same
disease that is hurrying America to
destruction. Royalty is bleeding the
masses. Cities, railroads, factories,
banks and the magnificent estates of
Lord this and Lady that have absorbed
the life blood of the people. Owing to
the depression factories have reduced
wages and many operatives are talk
ing5of coming to the United States to
help pull our people down.
There is an abundance of money in
England. Her cities are prosperous.
But the masses have been bled too fast
to keep up their splendor. The stand
ing army and navy of England, the
most formidable in all the world, is
taxing the masses beyond endurance.
The royal people and the banks are
able to swim, but the working people
are going down, down.

that neither protection nor free trade
is the great remedy.
Financial reform, equal rights, sup

breaking up of future dealing in farm
products and a graduated income tax

so and so, but say why we need it and
the best way to set about to get it. All
farmers who can are requested to give
their experience, whether successful
or not. If you have tried clover and
failed, give your experience, then per-
haps some one else who has been more
successful can give you some valuable
information. We would like to have
a series of articles on truck farming
tobacco, cotton, grain farming. Also

Those who prefer can write on Ali
ance organization, how to make the
organization of value, how to make
the meetings interesting and educa-
tional. The ladies are always welcome
contributors, and articles on household
matters RI generally interesting. A
corner is always reserved for them.
The leading agricultural and reform
journals will be drawn on for items for
our readers. Now let's see how inter
esting we can make The Progressive
FARMER for the next twelve months.

TO CONTRIBUTORS.

The campaign is now over. It has
been a difficult matter for correspon-
dents to think of anything practical
while politics were boiling. Now we
ask correspondents to get cooled
off and write on subjects of interest In
a non-sectional, non partisan way.
Don't write long articles. A page or
two to the point is better than a dozen.
Write on financial reform or any OF
the reforms intended by the Alliance.
Don't write what somebody has al
ready written, nor assert that we need

SENATOR INGALLS, ON ELEC
TIONS AND FREE COINAGE.

In the Senate of the United States,
on January IA, 1891, penting consider
ation of the financial bill, the question
being upon Senator Stewards free sill
yer coinage amendment, Senator In
gals, of Kansas, addressed the Senate
IN favor of free coinage. He spoke as
follows:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: Two portentious
perils threaten the safety, if they do
not endanger the existence, of the re
public. The first of these is ignorant,
debased, degraded, spurious and 50
phisticated suffrage suffrage cOntaml-
mated by the sewage of decaying ma
tions, suffrage inundated and sup
pressed in the South; suffrage impure
and corrupt, apathetic and Indifferent
in the great cities of the North; so that
it is doubtful whether there has been
for half. a century a presidential cleo
tion in this country that expressed the
deliberate and intelligent judgment of
the whole body of the American
people.
In the same speech Mr.. Ingalls, de
clared that there is not a State west
of the Allegheny mountains and south
of the Potomac and Ohio rivers that is
not in favor of free coinage of silver"
He also said, Gin 1900 there was not a
tramp nor a millionaire" Nor do 1.
believe, he continued, "that any man
ian accumulate a million dollars hon
estlv." He further declared that
There will come a time when the peo-
pie will be trifed with no longer on this
subject" He said, ''they will elect a
House of Representatives of the United
States; they will elect a Senate of the
United States; they will elect a Presi-
dent of the United States, who wll
carry out the pledges and execute the
popular will"
Evidently Mr.. Ingalls, was speaking
the truth, but the strange part of 1T all
is that he never came to this conclusion
until after he was defeated for re cleo
ton to the Senate. He was In the Sen
ate many years. 1t seems to us that
Mr.. Ingalls, ought to have put IN nor
time creating sentiment in favor OF
free coinage before his time was out.
The last Congress made the same mis-
take. 1t is curious how long some
people live before they get their eyes
open.

AMERICA VERSUS ENGLAND.

The Sumpter, IS. c., Freeman says:
England once protected 'agricul
turalists and robbed manufacturers In
order to do it. America now protects
manufacturers and robs agricultural
lists in order to do it. England now
has free trade and America will soon
have a like blessing"
There is a world of thought in the
above few words. But it doesn't prove
that our friends who are crying tariff
reform have a real panacea. England
has removed the tariff curse, but in
another place in this p will be
found a call for a general conference to
discuss the causes of "England's Ian
gushing agriculture" That shows
that several years of free trade has not
rescued the agriculturists of England.
A protectionist might get in a good
blow here by saying that free trade
has ruined England But that won't
do for in America we have extreme
protection and still agriculture is Ian
gushing. SO much so that many of the
farmers and others have formed a new

ENDS TO-DAY.

To day we hope the battle for politi-
cal supremacy between the different
parties will end, and will not be re-
newed for at least four years. 1t has
been a hard fought one in several re-
spects. Let all submit to the will of
the majority, if the election be honestly
conducted, NJ matter which party wins
in State or nation, THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER will be ready to uphold it in
everything good for the people or con-
denim it for any injury done or at
tempted.
We hope all pickering will 10Y stop.
If votes are bought (and they will be-
it is an awful thing, but there is no
help Tor it now. An educational cam
paign must be waged against that
crime for the next four years. All
good people and all honest papers,
without regard to party affiliations, the
religious press, the Alliance press, the
schools, all, should at once bestir them
selves in this direction, and never halt
for a moment. This. is a question Of vi
tai Importance. The future of the ma.
ton hinges on this matter.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER has taken
some part in the campaign, but has not
gotten down in the dirt. We have
criticized, approved and condemned.
If we made any mistakes, andno doubt
we did, we regret it, but we tried to do
what we thought was best. We give
all honest people credit for good inten-
tions, we only ask the same considera.

AT FIFTY CENTS A HEAD.

At st. Louis the Republican man
ayers have bought several thousand
votes at so cents apiece. The work
was carried on openly. 1t is not
stated how many the Democrats
bought O the price paid.
Ordinarily we might simply express
our regret on hearing of such transac-
tions-feel sorry that the poor mortals
in human form would have so little
honesty and ~self-respect. But this is
truly alarming. It has been done at
every city. Money has been spent, not
in dollars, but by loads in and about
New York. The ignorant fools and
dishonest beings who sell their votes
are not only putting themselves in
slavery, but threaten to plunge the
entire country into the same yawning
pit. P~lutocracy largely controls both
the Republican and Democratic parties.
Through prejudice and otherwise
many can be controlled In their interest
many who are not dishonest. With
the peoples money to buy votes and
the material that can be bought, there
is no telling how long they can hold
power and sway legislation in their in
terest. The situation becomes more
alarming every year. Patriotic and
God-fearing people must stand to
gether, or all will be lost.

shoulders of the people in two, horse
wagons, allowing 600 pounds to the
horse, it would take 164, 5s3 wagons
and have 400 pounds left. Allowing
% feet to each wagon, the train of
wagons would be 779 miles long and
leave 10 wagons out. Think on these
figures, boys; you and your offsprings
will have to tussle with this debt. We
are told that notwithstanding the fact
that five dollars have been already
paid on every three dollars of it. it
would take more bales of cotton, more
days hard labor, to pay the balance
still due than to have paid it all at
first. Whose fault is this9 Think.

ONE NAILED.

We see the Democratic papers are
denying that turncoat Adlai Stephen
son was ever a Greenbacker. Let those
who doubt it read the Congressional
Directory of the 43d Congress and they
will learn from his biography, written
by his own hand, that he was elected
to Congress from Illinois as a Green
hacker at the same time Weaver was
elected to Congress from Iowa as a
Greenbacker, What better proof than
this is needed.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Col. Wharton J. Green
attempts a reply to my article through
the StGte Chronicle in its issue of Nov.
1st., and calls me a liar and splits his
venom on The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
| shall not attempt to defend The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER. as it is abundantly
able to defend itself. / will quote a part
of his letter of withdrawal and try to
show the inconsistency in his letters,
resolutions, cts. Col. Green in his let
ter of withdrawal says: "Indispen-
sable prerequisite to the first was the
assurance, oral and otherwise, that the
right of opinion In matters of religion
and politics would not be infringed or
in anywise abridged" Col Green con
tinues by saying: 81 have TO the ex-
tent of limited ability persistently
combatted its tendency to disregard
such sacred pledge" And Col Green
continues by trying to make people be
lieve that the above is true and says:
You WIN. r. King and all others
cognizant are bound to admit"
Now are we bound to admit that he
has "combatted it's tendency to disre-
gard such sacred pledges" Col. Green
tries to force people to admit a lie in
his own behalf. Now to show that
Col. Green is trying to make the ALI
ancemen of Cumberland county admit
a lie in his own behalf / will quote a
part Of his resolutions that he intro
duced in the Cumberland Farmers Al
lance:
ResoIUed, That we, the Alliance of
Cumberland county, do hereby pro
claim our unwavering and u~nalterable
preference for white rule; and whereas,
the disintegration of the Alliance or
Democratic party under whatever pre-
text advanced imports thus possible
several of natures laws"
Now, I ask the fair minded man to
examine the contrast between Col.
Green's letter of withdrawal and the
above resolution. Now, Col. Green,
why is it that YOU didn't take some of
your own medicine that you were
offering to other peoples You are the
man who has been trying to get the
Alliance into politics. You should have
said in your letter of Withdrawal that
you could not remain in the Alliance
any longer because you offered some
partisan resolutions in the County AL
lance to endorse the Democratic party
and they were tabled and that was
more than you could bear, because the
balance of the Democrat Alliancemen
would help you force the Republican
Alliancemen to vote the Democratic
ticket and that was an insult to your
intelligence"
Col. Green in his reply through the
Chronicle does not deny but admits by
saying: Il was simply striving tc

HOW IS IT7

Some of u exchanges keep their
type hot on the following:

prices of his products are fixed in for
eign markets, where he suffers from a
competition invited and built un nv
the ~protectivel system he is asked to
support.-GrOUer CLeUeLand's Letter of
Acceptance"
Is this really a fact2 Let us look into
it and see. Comparing Latham. Alex
ander & Co.'s figures we find the cot
ton crop of 1875 sold in New York at
11.73 cents and in Liverpool at
6 % pence, and the crop of 1877
sold in New York at 11.2S cents
"a decline of 49, while in Liver.
pool it sold at 9.29 pence, an advance
of 8 pence per pound, or very nearly
so per cent. Who fixed the prices
then9 Is not Mr.. Cleveland in errors
A so per cent. rise In Liverpool and a
decline in New York looks like New
York has a voice in it.
