The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-03-29

beneficial to the manufacturers to pro.
tect them from cody labor, won't it be
equally beneficialto you to protect your
class from the same LAHORE The manu-
facturers have their heads above water
and can fix a price upon their wares.
though the money devil has squeezed
two dollars of their wares into one in a
quarter of a century. Don'tyou think
it would be better to speedily place
yourself where you can fix a price
on your produce? There is but one
way out of the hole when the money
devil has you. You must prOtectyour-
selves from the cheap and undeveloped
labor of other countries. Our civiliza-
ton is higher, u wants greater and
we must receive better prices to sup
DIV wants. The civilization of the
United States calls for 81. so per bushel
for wheat to enable the farmer to sup
| ply his wants. The civilizations of the
planters demands IA cents per pound
for his cotton to supply his wants. To
get these prices, we must levy a pro-
hibitive tariff of 20 cents per bushel on
wheat and six cents per pound on cot
ton. Everything the farmer produces
there must be levied a protective tariff
that will protect them from cOmpe
tition with cheap labor. We must re-
serve to the farmers the exclusive con
| troll of the United States market in such
things as they produce in sufficient
quantity to do us. Nearly all your
cereals are on the third list. Pork,
beef. mutton, hides and wool all receive
this protection. The farmer is robbed
in every way, for the want of protec-
ton. Establish your s~ub-treasuries
and fix a living price at which you a
sell at. Let every class do the same.
1t is impossible for you to fix a living
price on the products of your labor
without a prohibitive tariff on your
produce. Nine tenChs Of your market
is at home Protect your home mar
ket as you have protected the manu-
facturers, Insist OF your rights. Any
| class that cannot fix a living price on
the products of their labor, are slaves.
If the manufacturers could not fix a
price ON their means, they would be
where you are. You have built UP the
manufacture interest, now build up
your own. The protective policy that
built up he manufacturers will build
! up your interest. The money devil of
Europe will oppose this. The Demo
cratic party will oppose this. The Re-
publican party viii oppose your fnan-
cial policy. Each party represents the
money devil of Europe
Cease this war on manufacturers and
| go and do likewise. Place yourselves
wheTeyOucan say your corn and wheat,
cotton, pork and beef is worths so and so,
and get it. A prOhibitive tariff on
| farmers products and the Sub-Treas
ury, with the industrial financial sys-
tenn, will do it. Think, be manly, be
| sensible, have business sense, climb on
top, but don't kick anyone down.
Listen to the Republican financial
policy and perish. Listen to the Demo
cratic tariff policy and perish.
England wants your food cheap, and

Europe cheap food. WRS3 protective
hold and compel England to pay you
your price when she has exhausted the
surplus of other countries. You might
as well make up your minds to cut
loose from the gold basis Of Europe.
The holders of the debts of this coun-
try in England can produce a panic
and put a premium on gold at any
time. They can choose their own time
to do it. What is to hinder them from
converting one hundred millions of
their bonds held against this country
into g~reenbacks and demand every
dollar in gold held for redemptiOn9
The clause Inserted into all debts max,
ing them payable in gold, was to enable
the creditor class of Europe to get a
corner on gold and put a premium on
it. This they will do when an effort is
made to issue $50 per capita of full
legal tender y. s.
Convert gold into bricks and use
them to pay our debts and balance of
trade. Free this country from the
money devil at Europe. Give us $50
per capita of full legal tender United
States notes, and the wheel of industry
will hum and panics and financial de-
preston will be unknown. Cut loose
from all parties. Study principles. |
Get the truth and cast your ballot for
it every time. The party leaders of
each party care nothing for your in
terest. All they want is offices that
r becoming more valuable They
have doubled the pay of President and
all Congressman, and by legislation
they have increased the value of their
salaries four hundred per cent. A
COngressman's salary will buy four
labor as it would in 1855. All salaries
have been doubled in value. Will YOU
longer submit to this imposition2 All
holding Office want to retain them, and
there are ten outside in the two old
political parties who want office and
hope for it. These throw up their hats
and shout for their parties for office.
They a be found in the Alliance and
would lead you into either of the two
corrupt office -making machines for
Office.
You never will get at the truth and
nothing but the truth until you cut
loose from all parties. A partisan is a
prejudiced man. When the prejudice
is strong, the judgment is weak. There
