SENATOR GORDON BILL.

We cannot give space to all Of the
proceedings Of Congress. In fact the
public would not be benefited by read
ing such lengthy reports as the pro
ceedings make. But we will give all
important bills intended to bring about
a change for better or worse, also the
vote on bills.
On the 18th Senator Gordon, of
Georgia, introduced a bill to suspend
the law taxing State bank issue for six
months and to allow State banks to
issue an amount OF money equal to 20
per cent of their capital. The object,
he says, is to bring temporary relief.
We have no doubt that this bill
would bring temporary relief-t0 those
owning State banks-but unfortunately
less than Ealf OF the people in the
United States own State banks This
bill would benefit not less than a dozen
people in North Carolina. But that
would leave exactly 1 $50, 228 people
in the State without relief. There
seems to be a remarkable number of
Congressman who want to relieve the
national bankers, and not a few
who are working very hard for the
State banks.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-08-22
SENATOR VORHEES BILL

Senator Voorhees, introduced a bill IN
the Senate on the 145h authorizing the
issue of national bank notes up to the
full value of the bonds deposited. He
claims that his measure would put
nineteen million dollars more in circu.
lation at once.
There are several objections to this
bill. First, it is too small. Nineteen
million dollars doesn't amount to any
thing in a nation Of GA, 600. 900 people.
Nineteen million dollars would be con
sidered only pocket change for a million
aire like Vanderbilt Or George Gould.
Jay Gould would have made that much
clear profit in one day and then con-
sidered it a bad day for moneymaking.
This bill would only increase the per
capita about thirty cents, when an in
crease Of over $40 is imperatively
needed. It would be like a few drops
Of rain during a great drouth-wel
come, but useless. The second OBJ
lection is that it would cost the people
not less than 8 per cent per annum
before it would get out Of the banks.
The people are entitled to honey with
out any such expense. Thomas Jeffer-
SOD, J. @. Calhoun, Andrew Jackson.
Abraham Lincoln, and all honest
Statesmen ccntended for this while they
lived. Zeb Vance and a few other
Statesmen who do not belong to r
porations ko.d to this yet and all
honest men who know the difference
between a COW and a piano will testify
to the t~ruthfulnes Of this. We thank
Senator Voorhees, for his efforts, but
hope he will not compromise on such a
tiny thread when it ought to be a rope
as large as your waist.

SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO TIME

Secretary Carlisle refused to pur-
chase the usual amount of silver, as
directed by the Sherman law, during
the month Of July, and has refused SO
far during this month. OF course he
had orders from the President and car
ried them out.
Owing to this refusal to carry out the
law, the silver mines were forced to
close in the West. This threw tens of
thousands of people out of work and
CONSERVATION spread throughout the
land. Money that might have been
borrowed nearly all went out of sight.
and what was left on hand couldEonlv
be had at exorbitant rates of interest.
The panic soon came on with all tia
horror. The already thin crust was
easily broken. It is plain that this
administration alone is responsible for
the acute trouble now upon us. For
causing all this trouble the entire Cab
met, from President down, should be
impeached. They refused to carry out
the law and brought on the greatest
panic ever known. High officials have
been impeached for far lesser crimes;
let it be done now.

TROUBLE GINS.

It is a great wonder that peace has
not been broken by unemployed work
men earlier. Farmers are poverty.
stricken so far as money is concerned,
but when workmen are thrown out of
work in great cities, uDjustly, too,
trouble might be expected in a short
time. Thursday it began in New
York. Five thousand men gathered
at WalhGlla Hall to pass resolutions in
the vain hope that it might induce a
Wall street President and a Wall street
Congress to take prompt action so they
might go back to work. It was re
spectacle workmen. such as mechan-
les, tailors, clerks, brick masons, cloth
ing cutters. The Hall was locked and
the owners refused to allow the work
men the use Of the Hall. This frenzied
the men and disorder followed. The
doors and windows OF the Hall were
broken it. But ~plutocracy has ten
thousand policemen in New York, and
reserves were called in. The workmen
were brutally dubbed and in many
cases each one was driven home by
policemen who dubbed the workmen
until many of them appeared before
their starving wives and children with
broken, bleeding heads, But such
cannot last. There are a hundred
thousand unemployed men in New
York. Three Or four hundred thousand
are working on short time and may
soon stop entirely. Then if a row oc-
ours, police and plutocratic million.
aires will be torn to pieces.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-08-22

the rate of from 81, 500, 900 90 So, 600 900
per week. It is now larger than it
was at this time last year. Hence
there is no occasion for acute money
trouble beyond the general scarcity,
and concentration.
In another thing we are sustained.
The supply Of money has been growing
too small for this progressive era
several years. This has been vehe-
mently denied by persons who ought
to know better, yet during the past
twelve weeks the bank circulation has
been increased about $12, 600, coo and
some SIS, 900, 900 in clearing House Ger
tiicates have been issued. Still this
small addition is hardly noticeable.
IT, ought now be clear to all that
$50, 600, 900 or even 800. 900, 900 added
To orr circulation will make but little
change. It only amounts to a few
cents per capita, and failures continue,
We need at least $50 per capita to put
things in running order. OF course 1t
must be put in circulation gradually.
Let the proper laws be passed and
values will increase, industries will
start up, knock out the crop gamblers
and the price Of farm products will
soon be three times as high as they
now are. That will gradually put
money in circulation III every town
ship in America, debts will be paid and
every man who tries can live COM

U IS

At the beginning of the panic we
asserted that the out flow of gold was
natural, was not caused by the Sher-
man law; that it occurred every year
at the same time. True the reserve
was reduced to $88, 600, 900 for a few
days only, and then quickly climbed
up to more than 800, 900, 900. The
government reserve o amounts to
about 112, 600, 900, and is growing at
