of conducting their exchanges, and we
shall get about as near justice as 1T Is
possible to get on this mundane sphere.
Although the volume of a fat money,
in it's variations, could only affect abso-
lutte values, leaving relative values un
affected, and, therefore, it would be
impossible to bring about spoliation
through insufficient volume, the stabil-
ity of prices for the protection of long
time contracts would render it neces-
sary that the volume of money should
remain in as nearly a uniform relation
with the volume of commodities as
possible. This desideratum might be
secured by the people, in annual cleo
tions, deciding on a certain fixed rela-
ton between the volume of money and
the annual increase in values for each
year, as decided from the tax rolls of
the nation. The general alterations in
prices would furnish an intelligent
guide to follow in such cases."

THE E N EXPOSITION.
9. 81. BAINEs,
Sec. Treas. Nash Co. AlliaRce.

The principal object of the interna-
tional exposition to be held in Vienna
next year, lasting from April Doth to
June 10th, is to present a complete ex-
hibition of all sorts of food products,
whether fresh or preserved-chiefy all
kinds of meats, vegetables, dairy and
bakers products, as well as different
methods of sailing and picking. Ra-
tionaI methods of bread-making and
preparing food IN large quantities
will be in actual operation. Popular
lectures will be given, accompanied by
experiments with a view to comparing
the relative merits of the food prepare
tiOns.
In the Department Of Army Main
tenance the exhibits will show all par
ticulars connected with the ~sustenance
of troops in compliance with the re-
quirements of military life, such as
easy transportation, quick production,
and extent Of nutritive power.
Secretary Morton has advised the
special representative of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Central Europe
to proceed to Vienna in ample time to
receive and superintend the installa-
ton of exhibits of food products which
may be sent from this country. In the
absence of q special appropriation for
the purpose he cannot undertake rep
resentation on an extensive scale in
volving special commissions and large
expenses, but the representative now
in Central Europe, Hon. John Mates,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-12-12

jr., will receive all goods that Ameri-
can manufacturers may desire to ok
hibit and will endeavor to insure their
installation in the best manner possible.
Mr.. Mates has already advised the De
partment that the inquiries made by
HIM lead him to anticipate q very u
cessful exhibition, and he is of opinion
that it would be of great advantage to
our food manufacturers to be well rep
resented thereat. Many of these large
manufacturers would doubtless find 1t
profitable not only to exhibit their
wares at such an exhibition but to send
a representative. Under any circum-
stances Mr.. Mates, who is perfectly
familiar with the German language,
will do his best to serve the interests
of all intending exhibitors. A cable
gram forwarded by him to the Depart
ment November 27-announces that the
date up to which entries may be made
by American exhibitors has been ex-
tended to February 1, 1894
The Department of State has ju7t
communicated to the Secretary of Agri.
culture the earnest invitation of the
Austro- Hungarian Government to the
Government of the United States to
participate in the aforesaid xposition
and expressing the hope toat the
United States authorities will take
occasion to inform the people in gen
eral and especially persons likely to be
interested in the forthcoming exhibit
tiOn.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Shor5ly after the Ali
ance had made certain demands on III
official au .horities, and The PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER was advocating certain
reforms, l happened in company with
two prominent farmers, Capt E D Pas
chal, Of Lenox Castle, Rockingham
county, and Mr.. T. L. Lambeth, of
Ashland, Cas- we'll county, the latter at
the time a member of the Alliance and
the former if not then, joined the order
shortly after. Some controversy arose
between the two in regard to the pO-
litical attitude of the Alliance. Mr..
Lambeth remarked that he was op
posed to the Alliance going into poll
tics-that this order is non-partisan
and ought not to NEEDLE with the gov
eminent. Capt. Paschal replied: You
are entirely mistaken. The Alliance
can never revolutioniz9 trade and If it
don't take the reins of government in
handi will never accomplish anything.
The Alliance has taken the right curse
and ought to press On" Since the
monarchial victory of 1892 Capt. Pas
chal no. says: THE Alliance is dead
killed itself meddling with politics, and
that The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is no
more an agricultural paper than any
other partisan sheet" All this because
the Alliance affiliated with a party
that pledged itself on the Alliance de-
mands. Oh, the inconsistency
Yes, Mr. Editor, THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is doing good towards educat-
ing the ignorant and exposing the
wrong, and that the Alliance has taken
the right course is unmistakable and
ought to press on until its power is
recognized by public officials.

A GRADUATED INCOME TAX.
1t is the Most Efficient and Just, and is
What the People Demand.
f. J LEATHERMAN

It is the Most Efficient and Just, and is
What the People Demand.
For years the farmers organizations
have been advocating an income AK.
Until recently the politicians have ig-
nored the demand and even classed it
as one of the ''vagaries" of men who
didn't know what they were talking
about. The tide is turning. Eminent
leaders in all the parties now admit not
only that such a measure would be
just, but that 1t is almost a necessity.
We are very sorry to see that there
is a division of sentiment concerning
the matter. Already bills are being
prepared, one of which merely provides
for an income tax, while the other pro-
vides for a graduated income tax. We
believe the people are more generally
in favor of the latter. The former is
better than none, but the graduated
tax is moro just to the masses than a
uniform tax on incomes.
A graduated income tax would make
wealthy men interested In economical
government. It would lift an unjust
burden OF the shoulders of those least
able to bear it. 1t would conf1scate no
property, but would tend to narrow
the chasm between the very rich and
the very poor.
The law should begin on incomes

THE REUNION AGAIN, AS Mr..
BOGGS SEES 1T.

Editor COurier:-I was absent from
home when Mr.. H4rren's article on the
Reunion was published and have been
too much engaged since my return to
reply to a statement in your notice of
it, to which I wish to reply. You say
you do not believe any one agrees with
Mr.. Herren in saying that a partisan
use was made of it. Although not
agreeing with him in some things he
said l do agree with him in this: If the
gentlemen who were most active In the
management did not wish as far as
practicable to make a partisan use of
it they were grevely at fault in their
management. Asa Confederate soldier
1 deem it not only my privilege u my
duty to protest against a partisan use
being made of an association around
which so many tender and sacred
memories cluster.
1t is a comfort to feel assured that all
such efforts will fail of their object
The PLAN, common people with whom
reform must necessarily originate, who
ever has been and must ever be the
conservators of freedom, who, long
misled and wronged, are at last begin
ming to realize their condition and are
determined on a remedy. They are
slow to move but when they do move
it is with irresistible power. Those
who would resist Or suppress this
movement will initiate the wisdom of
the old English king who commanded
the incoming tide to retire. They will
be swept aside al cobweb5 are by a
storm.
It seems to me the we'll informed
man who cannot see we are in the midst
of a great revolution Is binder than a
bat sitting in the day sun. The true
patriot who loves country, home and
family infinitely more than any party
should strive to direct this movement.
1t cannot be suppressed.
I am more 1opeful Of our country
than 1 have been for many years. May
God grant us a peaceful solution of our
diff culties. May He give to our PEG.
pie the patience, the fortitude and the
wisdom needed in this crisis of our des-
tiny. Not only does the welfare and
happiness of people depend on our
conduct but that of the untold millions
who are to succeed us. Aye more, the
eyes.of the civilized world are on us and
our conduct will help shape the des-
TIMES of Europe, whose oppressed
masses r seething with discomfort.
We have long held aloft the torch of
liberty to eplighten the world. May
we never allow it to be smothered by
a plutocratic oligarchy.
I have the fullest faith in the ulti.
mate triumph of the true Republican
or Democratic principles (they are one
and the same) such principles as were
advocated by such Republicans as JEFF
ferson and Lincoln and by such Demo
Gratis as jackson and Calhoun. The
people are slowly advancing to their
higher destiny. As they have over
thrown kings and lordly rulers, so
surely will they overthrow the pluto
Gratis. They will yet establish a gov
eminent on the broad and just founda-
ten Of equal rights to all and special
favors to none"
