YES, PLENTY OF PURE GRIT.

1t seems that partisan hate has gone
to greater extreme in North Carolina
than in any other State. The politi
clans, fearing the educational work by
the Alliance, are using every concelv-
able means to destroy that organiza
ton, but it is hardly likely to succeed,
as prosecutions has never yet stopped
the progress of any righteous cause, but
on the contrary history shows that per-
secution is more Of a help than a hin
derance.
Sometime since Mr.. Wilson, a prom
inent Allianceman of the old North
State, was indicted, under an ancient
law, for belonging to a secret political
organization. It did not amount to
anything because it was not true. Mr..
Wilson had seen fit to join the Peoples
party, as he had a perfect right to do,
both as an AIlianceman and as a citi
EN-, and that was the cause of the at
tempted persecution Later the North
Carolina Legislature, recognizing the
Business Agency as the most infuen-
tial part of the Alliance, attempted to
destroy the agency in order to cripple
the Alliance. That failed also, as that
action as we'll as 5he other, was based
on partisan hate. The spirit of indie
pendence is too strong among the pao,
pie yet to permit the rights Of the PEG
pie to be stifed in any such wRy.-COt

L DOING WELL

We had the pleasure last week of at
tending the County Alliance meetings
in Chester, Lancaster and Darlington
counties. We were gratiied with the
size and spirit Of the meetings. The
Order in all the counties seems to be on
a solid and permanent basis. In Ches
ter under the leadership of Bros. Gun
ningham, Love, Mcdaniel, McKeown
and others equally Jealous, the Alliance
will continue its growth in power and
usefulness. The Order is also in hands
that are good and true in Lancaster,
and Darlington counties. Bros. Dun
can and Elder made speeches at Ian
caster and Bro. Duncan at the Darling
ton meeting with an exhortation by the
writer at both places. We wish we had
space to tell OF all the meetings and
how we enjoyed them and how the
kind words and kinder acts towards
the Cotton P2ant encouraged US. We
will show our appreciation by going to
see them again.-CottOn Plant.

but for the scarcity Of money. we
have about fifty members. We meet,
work and vote for reform, and are non
partisan. I am sorry more people do
not read THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER l
would not do without it for ten times
what it costs.
A. w. McManus, of Union county,
does the right thing by sending two
subscriptions with his own, and better
still, he says he will be heard from
again soon. He says his Alliance is
all right, and they fully endorse the
State Business Agency and do not wish
to withdraw their money from the
fund.
HE. Fuller, of Pittsylvania county,
Va, sends two subscriptions with his
own. We have many staunch friends
in Virginia, and Virginia is a fine old
State. It is the mother of Presidents, "
was the home of Washington, and is
now the home of Bros Mann Page and
J. Brad Beverly. That is enough to
recommend the State.
p. r. Webster, writing from Rock
ingham county, says: MY father has
been a subscriber to your paper ever
since it started. Neither of us can do
without it. Hesays Gold Hill Alliance
has as many names on its roll as it had
any time last year, has taken in sew
eral new members recently, andi is buy
ing more goods through the State
Agency than ever"
j. f. Latham, of Beaufort county,
sends a new subscriber and a renewal.
He says: 81 cannot do without THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER. 1t gives facts
and figures regardless Of circum-
stances, and I admire the position
taken by the editor" Thank you,
brother, If all true reformers would
work like you we could turn America
into the straight and narrow path in
side of twelve months.

with the cost of production, possibilities
of extension of culture, etc.
The committee have completed their
labors and reported. They claim that
/" overproduction" has done the work,
of course, but admit that certain legis-
lation would help a great deal. We ex-
pect that legislation of the right kind
would have a tendency to raise the
price materially. While not believing
in the ''overproduction" nonsense, we
think their advice to raise less cotton
and more bread and meat, timely and
urge u farmers to let so much cotton
alone. No matter what price it brings,
you cannot afford to raise it to the ex-
clusion of the n~ecessaries of life. You
are wearing your land out, allowing it
to wash away and getting into the
hands of shylocks. Raise plenty to eat
first of all and you will have a better
chance to pull through.

HOW THEY WERE RUSHED
THROUGH.

On the 21st of March Senator Cor
man exposed the last nights SET sion of
CONGRESS and told how appropriation
Lille we're rushed through, and mon
+ionad a number of errors made in the
mad haste. The naval appropriation
bill was examined and found to con-
tain many misspelled words and names
of places. Other bills had the same de
fects, so that it was hard to make out
what was intended. Senator German
said: There were more mistakes
made at the recent session of Congress
than | have ever known before. But
for the determination of the gentlemen
in charge of these great appropriations,
and the President, whose duty it is,
under the constitution, to approve
them, we should probably have had an
extra session of Congress-"
Yet this was supposed to be a re
form Congress. 1t was composed
mostly of Democrats who claimed that
they would do much better than the
Republicans. But the entire two
years were spent in doing nothing
that ought to have been done. There
was more complaint Of absent mem
bers, more failures to get a quorum,
more adjourning without doing any
work than ever before during the sit
ting of any Congress. Then after
breaking their promises as men, after
betraying the trust Of the people who
voted for them, after spending two
years dillydallying, we have the spec,
tacle of a bowling mob closing up the
scene at midnight by finishing the ap-
preparations amounting to $38, OOO, OOC
more than any Congress ever appro
prfated, and doing it in II rush such as
the world never witnessed, the bills
being so defective, so full Of errors tha'
hardly any one could tell what the
amounts were intended for. After al
this is it any wonder that millions have
lost confidence in both the Republican
and Democratic parties, and that every
day is adding thousands 0 to those
who have lost hope?

THE "OVERPRODUCTIoNn COM.
MITTEE,

The United States Senate, in April,
1892, passed a resolution instructing its
Committee on Agriculture to make an
investigation with a view Of ascertain
ing the cause of depression in agricuI-
tural products existing at that time.
Senator JAS. z. George, of Mississippi,
was made chairman of the sub-com-
mittee to investigate cotton. Alfred B.
Shepperson was made secretary of Sen
ator Georges committee. The scope
of investigation is very broad and
covers the matter of cotton production
and consumpti0n~of every country,
