Physicians prescribe it.

ally recommended by the medical profes-
sion
Prof Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII.

scribed il, was one of the most eminent
of practitioners.
The formula. which has been freely
given to the medical profession, has been
indorsed from the first: for Paine's celery
compound is not patent medicine, q
sarsapariila or an ordinary tonic, but is
the true remedy for diseases arising from
debility of the nervous system.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-04-25
HOW IT IS DONE.

Many papers and persons attribute
the lack of prosperity among the
farmers all over the country and the
world, for that matter, to Incidence
! and mismanagement. Doubtless some
| good people think this is true. 1t is
only true of individuals here and there.
AS a class the farmers are generally
thrifty. At any rate they make enough
to feed and clOthe the world and build
up everything in it, and that is all God
intended. individuals among them are
extravagant, but on the average they
spend less than any other class. Even
servants and street laborers in cities
have as many and often more luxuries.
dress better, and see more OF the world.
Newspapers often point out a few ex-
ceptional cases where a farmer is not
only living well, but is actually laying
up some money. That is true. We do
not believe in 'luck," as it is called,
but it seems that some people are born
lucky. Some people can go through
an epidemic of cholera OF yellow fever
and never get sick. During such cpl
denies or during wars, nearly every
body are broken up, financially, while
others get rich. This was proven in
many instances during the civil war
between the States. So it seems that
some people are born lucky"
Again it is true that men fail in all
kinds of business. The most shire wd
business men make investments that
appear all right, but finally turn out
wrong. Here is the trouble with the
farmers, they are too good notuTed.
They sell what they raise good natured-
ly, and the buyers generally have
enough of what is called human ma
ture' to take advantage of this honest
fellow. Then they buy good notWred-
ty'" and the sellers take advantage of
that. The farmers are getting over
cnls: They 40 longer accept tomfoolery
Ior facts. They are learning that

THAT PENSION SYSTEM.

Some years ago General Black, of
Georgia, got his name on the U. S.
pension roll. He had been in the Union
army and was some kind of a general
in a small way. He produced proof to
show that he was ''mentGUy and pigs
icolly disabled from any work." and
has been allowed 800 per month ever
since. During Cleveland's first admin
istratjon, Notwithstanding General
Black was mentally and physically
disabled from any work." Cleveland
appointed him Commissioner of Pen
slons. The General was not disabled"
so he could not draw his 800 permonth
as a pensioner and at the same time
draw his salary as Commissioner. Last
fall General Black was nominated by
the Democratic party to oppose Thos.
E. Watson for Congress in Watson's
district. Watson was elected by sew
eral thousand majority, but the great
and only honest party" managed to get
negroes enough to put over eleven
thousand votes in the boxes in the city
of Augusta when there was only 5000
legal voters in the city, and in that way
General Black was counted il and Wat
son was counted out. Now Black is
drawing S., 900 a year from the govern
ment as Congressman and his 81, 200 a
year as a man who is mentally and
physically disabled from any work"
This is fresh evidence that the Dem
ocratic party is as rotten az the Repub-
lican party, and we shall, as an indie
pendent, truthful paper, continue to
put the two parties in the same class.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-04-25

production and such things are frauds.
They are learning that the next years
cotton crop has no more to do with the
price of last years crop than the next
years crop of coffee has to do with the
present price of coffee. Suppose you
live in a town. About Christmas you
20 to a grocery store and call for six
dozen eggs and ask the price. The
grocer will say '25 cents per dozen"
Then you say "oh! hang such prices
eggs will be plentiful next summer and
I can buy them at 10 cents per dozen"
The grocer will DOR tell you that next
summers eggs have nothing to do with
the eggs he is selling at Christmas, as
he doesn't know whether there will be
an egg in the country next summer.
That is just as true of cotton or any
thing else. No man knows whether
the next crop will be 5000, 900 or TO-,
900, 900 bales, and the spectators who
keep the prices down for such reasons
are liars and robbers.
The prices of nothing that the farmer
sells is fixed, but all business is fixed"
II cotton is selling at 6 cents you pay
as much for stopping at a hotel as if it
was selling at IL cents; as much for
riding on the train; as much for the
visit of a physician, or the fees OF a
lawyer are the same. Go into a store
and say, ''see here, Mr.. Jones, cotton
is selling at 7 cents; there is no profit IN
it; can't you sell me goods at or less
than cost?" He will soon tell you that
you are a fool. Suppose you ask the
| Sheriff to reduce your tax receipt on
account of low prices. He will tell you
that the taxes are fixed" and he can't
make any reduction. Walk into a
bank with a good note for $500 and ask
the cashier to LEI you have the money
at 4 per cent. He will tell you at once
that the rates of interest are fixed
| and no bank can afford to "fuctuate
in rates." Yet the prices on your
| products ''fuctuate'' numerically.
The carpenter Or brickmason gets his
daily wages no matter what you get
for your products The printer at the
case gets so much per thousand or per
week; the engineer, conductor, mail
| agent, postmaster, Office hOlder-all get
their pay no matter whether you get
! 50 cents or 81. so per bushel for your
wheat. This is the reason farming
don't pay-thOse aChO farm.

THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE AID.

Mr.. Osborne, our new State Attorney
General, is doubtless an able lawyer
and has an opportunity to win agreater
name in his present capacity; but,
strange to say, he apparently is allow
ing his prejudices too much scope.
Some effort is being made to put the
National Alliance aid degree to work
in this State, and Mr.. Osborne claims
that it is taxable. In recent ruling
| he said: 81 have to say that, in my
opinion. the organization is not exempt
from taxation, for that it violates the
provision ex3mpting benevolent organ
liz atoms in the following particulars:
It levies assessments for other purposes
than to create a fund to pay the family
of a deceased member; it's officers make
a profit from the business; it has not
been Incorporated under the laws Of the
State, and it solicits business through
agents"
Now the Masons, Odd Fellows,
| Knights of Honor, Knights of Pythias
and all other fraternal and benevolent
organizations G1e exempt from tGGG-
ton. The Alliance aid degree is exact
ly the same. No one can become an
| organizer or receive it's benefits unless
he is a member of the Alliance. The
| only object is found in section 3 of the
bylaws as follows: This degree is in
stituted for the purpose of aiding and
assisting the families of deceased mem
| bers OF the order"
In brief it is exactly for the same ur-
pose that the same degree is intended
in all similar fraternal organizations,
Equal rights" demands that it be
treated accordingly. It does not levy
assessments for other purposes than to
create a fund to pay the family of q de-
| ceased member" It's officers make no
profit from it except on a similar basis
and by the same means that officers
are paid in the other frarernal organi-
| cations. The charges are fixed so there
can be no accumulation Of q surplus.
The important officers or organizers OF
all fraternal organizations are paid for
their time and labor, so are the officers
of the Alliance aid degree. Lecturers
and organizers are travelling all the
time in the interest of the Mas0ns and
other organizations. They cannot and
DO not undertake to give their labor
| and time for nothing.
Mr.. Osborne evidently misunder-
stands the whole, matter. We think
he had better look into it and render a
decision in accordance with the facts.

A GENEROUS CONGRESSMAN.

Congressman ]. @. Sibley, of Penn,
sylvania, is a Democrat in name and
practice. He is thoroughly in sym
pathy with the Grange and alliance
on all reform measures and received
their almost undivided support in the
last campaign, Notwithstanding a ma
jority of the voters of his district have
heretofore been Republicans. He is an
earnest, sincere man. One of the best
speeches in favor of financial reform,
in the opinion of the writer, at the free
coinage convention in Washington in
February was made by Congressman
Sibley.
He has recently decided to give his
entire salary for the next two years to
the Grange and Alliance in his district.
Of the total amount 81, 900 goes to the
Grange of Crawford and Erie counties
for the erection of a Grange building;
50, 900 for the Alliance of Erie county,
and 50, 1000 to the Alliance of Crawford
county, also 81, 900 to each of the trade
unions IN the two counties. At the
hrst glance it would be surmised that
he Is a demagogue, but when he has
heretofore SO easily defeated all oppo-
nents 1t is useless to say that he is pre-
pairing Tor the future in that wav.
