THE DEpRAv1TY OF TIE PRESS.

to rank among the foremost liars OF
the age. Why people continue to
support papers that employ such men
and publish such rot 1t is difficult to
understand. It might, with some de-
gree of reason, be supposed that
subscribers to newspapers desire
the news-that they desire facts
which will enable them to keep pace
with current events. This is unques-
tionsbly what they pay their money
for. Do they get it? Not very often.
The leading daily newspapers of the
country strive to be sensational rather
than reliable. They employ set of
unscrupulous correspondents to fur
nish this trash, and pay them, not for
furnishing the news, but for filling
certain amount of space with some
thing that IS sensational, no matter
whether it has any foundation in fact
or not. Such foundation is not at all
essential. In fact, the wider the de-
parture from truth, the better 1t suits
such papers as the Kansas City Jour-
nal, and a correspondent possessing
the qualifications of the Washington
Ananias who contributes so liberslly
to its columns is considered of more
than ordinary value.
AS an illustration of his valuable
services, we reproduce from the
Journal of December s his version of
a little proceeding in the house Of
representatives, together with the
official report of the same proceeding
as published in the Congressional
Record. The following is from the
Journal:
WASHINGTON, December Z. 7.-[Specisl.]
Baker, of Kansas, went down under food
Of ridicule to-day, and, as estimated, will
not be heard from for week. II was the
6rst chance the members have had this ses-
sion to make football out of a nonentity,
and they improved it vigorously.
The first bill the speaker called up in the
morning hour was the famous Fort Hays
military reservation bill. This is Bakers
only pride and pet. He was insanely ner-
vous over 1t during the last two months OF
last session. He was afraid if he failed to
get il through, he would be defeated. II is
the only bill he has that concerns his district
an local measure. While this is true, it did
not originate with the s xGh districS states
man. Il wa introduced d in the senate by the
lat, Senator Plumb, on the IA of last De-
comber. Senator Perkins put 1t through the
Seaat4 soon after he was appointed, and
gave Baker mSDy months during last ses-
sion put it through the house.
The bill provides that the government
cede 2,400 acres OF land out of the Fort
Hays military re1ervaSon, to be used ny the
state of Kansas for DtSte soldiers home,
and for that purpose only. When the
speaker announced the parliamentary status
of the bill this morning Baker had not ar
rived. No one knew where he was at, al
though neariy half hour after the house
had been called to order he was absent. The
pit seemed 70 contain all the members but
Baker. MoRes, Of Arkaneas, q member Of
the committee on military affairs, responded
to the speakers call for Baker. McRsa OBJ
served that the Kansas statesman was
evidently not on hand. He regretted the in
cidenb very much, as that gentleman was
deeply concerned in the bill. Personally he
could not recall just what it was about.

BASE FALsEHooDs.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER tries to
keep out Of personal and partisan poll
tics as much as possible, but there are
times when we take advantage of the
rights given us by the American Con-
stitution, and say a word in defense of
friends.
Last week the State and United
States were flooded with kilograms
sent out from Goldsboro in an effort
to injure DR.. w. P. Exum, Peoples
party candidate for Governor. These
kilograms stated that DR.. Exum had
been arrested for using "profane and
indecent language in the po~stofice"
there, and that the postmaster swore
out the warrant. It was further stated
that a warrant for perjury had been
sworn out by the postmaster against
Exum, who it was alleged, had sworn
positively that he did not use the Ian
guage. Now for the facts:
DR.. Exum was in the p~ostof1ce when
Mr.. Roscower, editor of the Headlight,
came up. DR.. Exum called to him and
gave him a sound lecture, told him he
had been lying on him, etc. Roscower
went off and swore out a warrant
charging Exum with ''profane and in
decent language" a. the kilograms
stated. DR.. Exum was fined S. and
costs. The prosecution was malicious
and no other man in Wayne county,
(unless it is some Peoples party mani
would have been fined a cent under
the circumstances. It is understood
that a number of bourbon Democrats,
of which Goldsboro can boast some of
the meanest on earth, were in the court
and were calling on the court "to fine
the Governor" while another man was
on trial for contempt of court, for some
remark made during the trial of Exum.
The Goldsboro postmaster had moth
ing to do with the business, and says
that the language of DR.. Exum was in
his usual tone and not in any way such
as to call for trial.
The Goldsboro Agricultural Bee, re-
ceived since the above was written,
says Roscower swore out a warrant
charging DR.. Exum with perjury, but
withdrew the charge the same after
noon. The Bee says Roscower leaves
himself open to a charge of perjury as
he failed to sustain his charge of per
jury against DR.. EIUm.

HERE GOES.

The Monroe Enquirer tells great %
things about what the tariff for reve-
nue. only" policy would do. We have
already shown that Cleveland could
not reduce the tariff any lower owing
to his extravagant pension grabbing.
So there is no use in talking and try
ing to fool the people with that old
chestnut. 1t is as absurd as the force
bill or the editor of the Enquirer him
self-aIl of them are chestnuts.
AS we see it there is no prospect Of
tariff reform in either of the ldparties.
MANY of the Democrats elected to Con-
e are avowed high protectionists.
The Omaha platform pronounces the
present system of so-called protection
a fraud. That has the right ring.
The whole thing is a fraud of the
blacklist sort, and the Democrat that
goes before the people promising "a
reduction" of the tariff or talking
about Ito a revenue basis" is as much
a fraud as the high tariff advocate.
We repeat that thinking people no
longer have any hope of tariff re

WILL THEY

A meeting Of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee and others has been
called to meet in Raleigh en- the 9th,
the day before the Republican State
Convention meets. It is supposed that
the object is to make a trade with some
of the Republican leaders and induce
them to put out a State ticket. Most
of the best element in the party is said
to be opposed to a State ticket.
It is rumored that Chairman Sim
mons hired a negro to run for Congress
in the Second district in addition to
the regular Republican nominees and
thereby, and by other dark methods,
got himself elected to Congress. We
wonder if he is trying some such
methods to sell out and defeat the
wishes of the best people in North
Carolina.

with all their might to get Mr.. Bed
dingfeld in as delegate from. this Con-
gressional district to the st. Louis
C~onferenceG Yes. Well, he came
back and told them what he had done
as delegate and signed that address.
Didn't they all endorse him9 In that
same address MI. Beddingfeld and his
eight associates say: eve assert that
a political organization, representing
the political principles herein stated,
is necessary to redress the grievances
of which we complain" Now why
don't Mr.. Beddingfeld stand by the
other eight delegates since the p ople's
party has adopted their platform-the
platform they helped to mGke-instead
of going over the State speaking against
it and trying to bring reproach upon
the Alliance, it's officers and organise
They say in that address at another
place: "The undersigned, therefore,
heartily and unanimously gave their
endorsement to these principles. Mr.
B~eddingfeld was one of the under
signed Why don't he unanimous
ly" and heartily" give his endorse
ment now9 That was only six months
ago. The address was published in
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER about March
1st, and again or August End. Why
didn't Mr.. Beddingield deny it then9
Why didn't he open his mouth against
the whole business9 Instead of that
he waited until the campaign opened
and is now on the stump trying to save
the old Democratic ship by ridiculing
the st. Louis demands. If the National
Democratic Convention or the Repub-
lican had adopted anything like them,
it would make a difference. But the
Peoples party is the only one that has,
hence those who really want reform
must look for it in that direction.
In this s lme address we find the fol-
lowing: GIVE declare our union and
in dependence" We assert our purpose
to support the political organization
which represents principles" Mr.
Bedding1eld signed that. Is he doing
it7 Has the party that he is speaking
for got these principles in its platforms
The address also says: "They
(meaning the old parties) propose to
drown the o~utcries Of a plundered PEG
pie with the uproar of a sham battle
over the tariff" Now we ask if Mr..
Beddingield is not helping in this very
thing in his speeches throughout the
State9 Fellow-citizens of North Caro-
lima, you must get your eyes open. Be
men.

been published. These records" are
false, that is enough to say about
them. Gen. Weaver was not "a gen.
eral" until long after these things are
said to have occurred. Our readers
will remember that Col. Polk was a
very bad General" during the late
war acc ording to the ISLANDER
Bureau" Yet he never was a "gen-
eral" and never was at the places
where he is said to have done the ''bad
acts" as reported by the ISLANDER
Bureau"
~ We have received quite a num-
Der of long communications from gen.
tlemen in various counties, defending
themselves against charges made in
county papers. They say their county
papers refuse to publish their side of
the case. We regret that We cannot
publish them, bu5 this paper has a wide
field to look after and cannot do it
Justice, and must not undertake to
settle local differences. If people would
quit paying for papers that refuse to
do them Justice after s~landering them,
a little while, they would soon come to
their senses. AS long as people read
pap ers that treat them badly they may
expect bad treatment. Make your
local papers treat you right and they
will not try to do otherwise.

Il is announced that State Auditor
Sanderlin has been and will continue
to make stump speeches during the
campaign. We are wondering if he
will make speeches like he made in a
recent meeting of Wake County ALI

your hands are crossed and tied. If
you do not stand firmly upon your
platform and vote to have your princi-
pies enacted into law, your feet will
also soon be tied"

THEY ARE GOING.

Ten or more great Western States
are going solidly into the Peoples party
this year. Why9 Our answer is found
in the fact, as shown by census re-
turns, that foreclosures of mortgages
have been increasing since 1860. The
cause has been found in bad legisla
ton, and neither of the old parties
have tried to check it. How does the
census show this9 Answer. Fore
closures have been as f blows, in four
years out of 21:
186O-$15, 600, 900.
1S7O-$28, 600, 900.
1S8O-$41, 600, 900.
1S9O-$63,O 900, 900.
They say this thing must stop.

SOME FACTS.

We understand that Mr.. E. @. Bed
dingfeld is doing much good work for
the Peoples party. AS two of the
Commissioners are now in the Office of
the Railway Commission, we hope the
Democratic bosses will keep Mr.. Bed
dingfield on the stump until the cleo
ton is over.
1t is said that Mr.. Beddingfeld has
been reading the obligations taken by
members of the Alliance on the stump
to show that Numbers are not under
any obligations to vote the Peoples
party ticket. (Are they to vote
any other0 He has no business to
carry the ritual around and read any
part of it publicly. 1t is reported that
he said "anybody can buy the ritual
from the State Secretary" Secretary
Barnes authorizes us to say that he
has never sent out any rituals to any
body nor sold any nor given away any
to anybody except to Secretaries who
were entitled to them.
Mr.. Beddingfeld also claims that the
Alliance is being injured "by going
into politics." and that the Omaha
platform contains no Alliance prin-
ciples. The Omaha platform is exact
ly the st. Louis Conference platform,
with free coinage of gold and some
resolutions added, that Mr.. Bedding
II i --o-& - O. A11So ord ballad 70
make. He was n of the nine delegates
from this State and acknowledged his
endorsement by signing an address to
the people of the State along with the
other eight after they came back. This
address has been published in The
FARMER twice since Feb
ruary 22d. This address contained the
platform and Mr.. Beddingfield en-
dorsed it, for the address says: cit is
gratifying to state that all the South
ern States were represented in the
body, and every delegate voted for the
platform" So Mr.. Beddingfeld VOted
for 1t.
The Alliance did not go into politics,
for in the address they say: "While
parts of the above platform may
seem at a mere glance to make partisan
political distinctions, yet upon a care
full study one will clearly see that it is
non partisan; and further, will be i'm
pressed with the truth of it's premises.
and the ability of the committee who
framed IT,"
So it was mon partisan" and
g true" and the committee who
framed it had ability" when Mr.. Bed
1ing6eld came back. Why is it not
as good since the Omaha Conyen-
ton adopted it9 If it was mon
partisan" then, why has the North
Carolina State Alliance "gone into
politics" by adopting the st. Louis
platforms ooh! consistency, thou art
> jewel"
Didn't Mr.. j. @. Scarborough, Capt.
Coke and other prominent Demo
Gratis and leading Alliancemen" work
