SOONER THAN YOU THINK.

Some think it almost a hopeless task
to expect anything in the way of ma
tional legislation in the next few years
from the reform movement. This is a
very mistaken idea. 1t is very likely
that the Peoples party and its sympa-
thizers will have a majority in the
House before long-perhaps hold the
balance of power next Congress.
At present the Senate has eighty
eight acknowledgement Republi-
cans, thirty-nine Democrats and two
Peoples party men. So to hold the
balance of power, the reform element
only has to gain a few members. The
terms of twenty-nine Senators expire
next winter, and two vacancies are to
be filled. 1t is possible that a large
portion of these will be filled by re-
form men. To do this good legislatures
should be elected, especially in every
State having Senators to elect.
Nothing is required but plenty of
work. Every man should see to it that
plenty of work is done. Timidity and
inactivity will not dc anything. We
think North Carolina will do her duty.
We think a legislature will be elected
that will reflect credit upon themselves
and the State. We further think that
our next Congressional delegation will
not lack any of the material required.
for reformers.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-06-21
A MISTAKEN IDEA.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER has always
been in favor of educating farmers
sons. They need it and deserve an
education as much as anybody. They
should not only study text books, but
should be taught the whole science of
agriculture, how to enrich the soil, to
pIow deep, to raise good cattle and
horses-in short, everything pertaining
to the business.
In addition, they should be taught
political economy and history. No
student should leave college without
knowing something Of the legislative
history of his country, and what is
needed. We venture to say that eight
tenths Of the young men who have
graduated from the leading colleges Of
this country this year could not an
swer half a dozen questions about the
political status of the country at this
time. They all could tell that Harrison
is President and the Senate is Republi-
can and the House Democratic. Per
haps a few have some indistinct idea
about the tariff, but they cannot tell
what the thing means. They may re-
member something about the McKin-
ley bill, but there would not be ten in
a hundred who could tell why it is that
a Democratic House has failed to put
the Republican Senate on record. They
could not explain why it is that very
little has been said about the Mckinley
bill since the election, though it was a
horrible nightmare before the election,
and you would have thought that none
of them could have slept until they in
troduced a bill to repeal the law.
We confess that these are hard ques-
tions, but the young men of the land
should know something about it all
and be prepared to become citizens.
We do not NEAR that partisan poll
tics should be taught. We do not ex-
pect such nonsense as political economy
to be taught in the colleges that turn
out crack football teams and nothing
else. But the common sense colleges,
especially agricultural and mechanical
schools, should turn out young men
who know how to be sensible citizens.

HE OPPOSED ORGANIZED LABOR

Whitelaw Reid, the Republicanno nom
inee for Vice-President, is al abb
journalist. He has been editor Of I'd
New York Tribune for many years
He has opposed organized labor al
the time until his nomination. NOWt
is stated that he has made the Tribm:
a union office. Before it was knOwna
a "ra6 Office" employing boys and dis
sipated printers. Yet this step is taxed
with the hope of gaining the vote \
the organized printers and other nf
chanics. But it will not take Wit
them. They see the cloven hoot stici
ing out and will not vote for him. TH
man who depends upon his gram

THINGS THAT ARE UNJUST AND
UNKIND.

1. Merchants fighting the farmers
organization, composed of men who
have been their chief patrons III bust
ness and from whose patronage they
have built up q successful business.
2. Farmers who have been more
prosperous than their neighbors fight
ing the farmers organization which
has been set up and sought to be
operated in the interest of the great
family Of farmers and other Iaboring
classes who are struggling for better
conditions that will enable them to
make a decent and respectable support
for their families, educate their chill
dren and place them on an equal foot
ing with any other children in the land,
and thus prepare them to successfully
fight the battles of life.
3. Officers and other public men
fighting the farmers organization
whose members have been their chief
supporters in the past and to whom
they owe all their prominence in poIiti-
cal and social circles.
4. Lawyers, doctors and other pro-
fessional men, fighting the farmers
organization, simply and purely be-
cause their respective professions are
not put forward to fill all the offices
that pay we'll and give distinction and
prominence in social political and fnan-
cial circles.
.5. All trades and professions that
fight the farmers organization because
it is composed of a great many il~literate
and ordinary men who are not suffered
to be well posted in the science of gov
eminent and do not rank high in the
so-called high social circles.
