~ By the demonstration of silver
in India the value of the silver dollar
In America is now said to be only So
cents, having fallen in value from IS
cents. We are still receiving them at
100 cents on the dollar. Send So cent
dollars and get THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER a whole year.
~ Hon. .Thos. Watson, of Georgia,
says: ''The Alliance is growing and
deserves to grow. The Peoples party
is growing and deserves to grow. And
each can best grow by having it's meet
ings separately" That is right. ALI
ance meetings and any party meetings
should be entirely distinct.
-. Do you think the reform
ment is not growing2 The number of
new papers that are being started and
the number that have been resusitated
shows that it is growing. There is no
better index. We believe the Alliance
will be as strong as ever numerically

~ The Conway, Ark, Populist says:
The unprecedented growth of the ALI
ance in many sections shows that PEG
pie are thinking as neve before and
are reaching the point where they are
ready to put their thoughts into action.
THE waters are being troubled and
the people ire beginning to step in"
=. We don't like to ask so many
questions, but why is it that nearly
all the big political organs of both
parties said the country was enjoying
unprecedented prosperity with the
Sherman law in operation for two
years, while for the past month it has
been a black Friday" every day
There is a big mistake so newhere,
The Washington, Kan, Repub
Rcan tells OF a bank president in that
State who skipped with all the funds
and forgot TO put a notice on the door
to the effect that "depositors will be
paid in full" The Republican thinks
he ought to be expelled from the
bankers association for such an over
sight.
We notice that several very
prominent agricultural papers devote
most of their editorial pages to their
own business notices-premiums of
fered-such as watches, Bibles and
sewing machines. But the farmers
are still being robbed and nothing is
said against it by these farmers papers.
Too bad.
We invite attention to the adver-
tisement in our columns of Littleson
High School and Business Institute.
The catalogue shows 96 in attendance.
For climate, location, and healthful
ness, it claims to be unexcelled. A
good place for a young nan to prepare
himself for college or the practical
duties of life.
~ Bros. 81. @. Forney and N. @.
English Of the Alliance Legislative
Committee have each published letters
in this paper denying the statement
that they asked for or desired any
legislation in regard to the Alliance
charter. Bro. J. j. Young, of Polenta,
is the other member. Will he kindly
let the brethren know where he stood
in this matterF
~ The Lenoir Topic has taken a
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. Now it rises
up, rubs its eyes, and says: st is
enough to take a fellows breath to
pick up the papers and read accounts
of SO many banks failing. Why don't
the Third party fellows suggest a
remedy that will stop the failure of SO
many banks9 We have been waiting
patiently to hear from them.
~ The Jonesboro Journal solves the
problem this way: Zone reason we
have SO much of hard times in this
country is because there are so many
lazy sneaks lying around doing nothing
except eating up what other people
make. The old law, IF anyone will
not work, neither shall he eat, ought
to be revived and put IN full force"
How about overproduction9 Accord
ing to that theory we need more
slazv eaters
