REFORM SPEAKING.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-Our Alliance people
and lovers of reform were permitted
to enjoy two most excellent speeches
delivered to the public at the North
River Alliance, of this county, recent
ly. On invitation of our Alliance, Rev.
Mr.. Abernethy, of Beaufort, n. O., and
Bro. Chas l. Abernethy, who Is now
delivering lectures in this county for
Cnsr grand cause o. reform, paid Us a
visit at the above-named time.
A certain friend CD predicted and
offered to bet So that we would not
have Is persons to hear the speakers.
Not being a betting character we did
not bet with him, but we desire to state
through your valuable paper for the
benefit of this gentleman, who has been
so eager in the past to see the downfall
of our great Order in this county, that
we not only had his predicted Is but
about $50. We have never seen better
attention paid to any speakers than
was paid to these gentlemen. Both
speeches were driven home so forclbly
that we heard men who before had
been weak kneed, and some who had
never before been interested, say that
they would no longer suffer the cruel
bondage of moneyed tyrants. And,
Mr.. Editor, we want the world to know
we, the people of Carteret county, ex-
pect to flaunt our banners to the
breezes and fight for our rights and
liberties. Our wives and children are
in need. We see woe depicted on the
countenances of our fellow men, and
we have gone into this fight with the
determination to win.
Bro. Chas L. Abernetby is travelling
from county to county speaking and
selling Alliance literature, and may
God go with him and help him to per
form nobly the great work he is pur-
suing, and may he continue to en-
Tighten and instruct the people in this
great reform movement. We are glad
to see young men of brains and talent
taking hold of this work and striving
to amelorate the condition of the
Iaboring classes of this country. From
the reports our young brother Is GER
tainly doing good work for the cause.
Mr.. Editor, you may set it down on
your memorandum that our people are
going to fight. And may the working
man of the North, South, East and
West join hearts and hands and fight
for their freedom with that same de-
termination that was illustrated SO
beautifully in the life of that illus trioue
patriot Col. L. L. Polk, who died fight
ing the tyrannical grasp of capital.
Yours fraternally,

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

DEAR FRIENDS: s:-The death of Col
Polk makes ii necessary that the affairs
of his estate be settled. We can no
longer look to him for any income to
help In dull seasons to pay the bills of
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, but on the
other hand we must settle up some
large accounts we owe, and settle
them at once, too, or have trouble and
extra expense. Not only are there &C
counts against THE PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER that must be met, but there are
also other bills, and quite large ones,
too, which we have to meet. Now If
our subscribers will be as faithful to
us as we have been and expect to con-
tinue to be to them, we will be able In
very short time to get all these mat
ters settled and go right on battling for
the people. We did not think we
would make any urgent call upon our
subscribers to pay up back dues and
renew until later in TIE fall, but this
necessity is now laid upon us, and we
feel confident the good brethren will
not lay this paper down and neglect
and forget our present needs. We
have prepared a table above which
shows the date of each issue of the pa
per since Jan. 1, 1891, and up to June
II, 1892, the date of Col. Polk's death.
Your label may not contain one Of
these dates, but it may contain date
falling in this period embraced in the
table. If so, you owe us something,
and to find the amount look on the
table for the date on your label, or the
date preceding the date on your label,
and opposite this date will be the fig
ures showing the exact amount you
were due The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
when Col Polk died. These little
amounts due us, IF all paid IN Gt once,
will help us straighten out all our press
ing obligations that promise US trouble
if not settled at once.
Brother and friend, this statement
of the case is before you, and though
| it may be hard for you to raise a dol
lar or two dollars, or even a smaller
amount now, will it not be much easier
| for you to do it than for us to lose
81, 10000 or $5,0OO.00 on account OF
your failure7 If you find the amount
| you owe is less than 81 90, send 81. 90
] before August 20th, 1892, and we will
enter you up a year and an extra
month If 1T is more than $1.00 and
less than 50. 90 you owe, send 81. 90 and
we will enter you up two years
and two months extra, Send us not
only your own renewal, but get up a
club and send along with it. You can
do much good in your community by
circulating this paper. In writing us
always give the amount sent, and the
name of the postoffice to which your
paper is going, and your own name
plainly written Let us hear from you
at once, please. Yours,
J. W. DENMARK,
Business Manager.

marked an era In our decadence that
should stand as warning for all time
to come, and never should the fight for
rIghted wrongs cease until bankers and
shylocks are shorn of their power to
further enslave us by monetary legis
latlon. Our government in theory is
founded on the will of the people and
should be so in fact; but while a min
oF1ty OF plutocrats control and run it
IN their own interest, the people will
assume the condition of slaves and vir-
tually are such. All the legislation
that has for it's object the welfare of
the people is Instantly opposed by the
banks and our moneyed aristOcracy,
and when they saw in 1862 that full
legal tender greenbacks would destroy
their power to enslave the people and
rob industry of it's fruits, they sent
their agents to Congress, who. with
the free use of money, shaped legisla-
tion so as to put untold millions into
their pockets, and from that day to
this they have controlled all financial
legislation to suit themselves.
We are on the high road to destruc
ton, and our one-sided and unjust
monetary systems mainly responsible
for it. Rates of interest prevail in
every section that industry can never
overcome under the best of conditions,
for the annual increase of wealth In
this country is of far less per cent than
the lowest rate of interest; therefore,
many are and must be robbed by usury
and a monetary system that was in
vented for that purpose. We have a
vast number of farmers and others in
the United States that are as much en-
slaved by usury as the poor of Mexico
is by that system of slavery, and
neither can escape from the clutches
of their masters until legislation which
made possible their slavery is changed.
Well may Ben Butler predict war in
the near future in this country, for all
signs point to coming crisis, and
nothing but monetary legislation which
our bankers and plutocrats with all
their concentrated power persistently
oppose will avert it, AS power once
obtained is never relinquished except
by force, revolution seems inevitable
and must come unless the people wake
up end regain lost liberties, rights and
powers through peaceful and intelli
gent legislation. MEDICUS.

THE MONEY QUESTION.

Mr.. EDITOR "A large class of writer's
and speakers seem utterly unable to
comprehend the nature of money and
the basis of its power and functions
Gold and silver seem to them to be
natural money" as speaker once
declared in my hearing, but gold and
silver are no more natural money than
nickel or copper, and none OF these
four metals is money until the stamp
Of some government Is placed upon Its
surface with an avowed declaration to
that effect. Money is entirely depend
ent upon governmental laws for It's
power and functional qualifications,
and nothing but law ever did or viii
create money and endow it with
potency. Now then, if law, and law
alone, creates money. where do we
find any restriction that compOls the
use OF gold and silver, or forbids the
use of any other material substance on
which to stamp the fiat of the govern
ment, which alone makes money
There is no such restriction, and only
the customs of barbarous and igno-

A CHALLENGE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The price of cotton
and wheat is fixed In Liverpool, Eng
land, by the money power. A tariff
On exportable produce does not protect
the farmers from foreign competition,
neither does it enable the farmers to
fix a price on anything. The price of
produce being fixed in Liverpool, other
nations with equal facilities for ship
ping the price will be the same for the
same quality. Hence Republican pro-
lection does not protect the farmers
from foreign competition. We will
pay any Republican one hundred dol
lars who will show how a tariff levied
under the present financial system en-
a6les the farmer to fix a price on any
Of his exportable produce.
The farmers demand financial sys-
tenn that will place them where they
can fix price on their produce. The
Democratic and Republican parties
are controlled by the creditor class of
EUROPE and they refuse to so adjust the
tariff and financial system that the
Farmers can fix a price on their pro-
9uce. We will wager five hundred
dollars that the following system will
give the farmers and laborers the de-
sired protection: Issue sufficient money
TO transact the business Of the country

without the Intervention of banks.
establish sub treasures at central dis,

let the farmers fix living price on
their produce, put q ProhibBjve tariff
