By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inaamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

medical properties are astringent,
and it has been employed as a sub
stitute for quinine in Ease of fevers,
and while I may be mistaken 1 am of
the opinion that instead of being dan
gerous it is healthy. Salicilic acid is
extracted from a flower, and the physi.
illogical action unless in very large
doses is a harmless agent, as we find
from medical authority.
The cause of my writing this is from
the fact that if it be (saliD is-what it is
represented, which I have every reason
to believe, that instead of it being de-
nounced it ought to be thoroughly
tested beforehand, as it is the cheapest
known method Of saving fruit, and
everybody in this country needs some
thing of the kind in order that they
might be enabled to ave the fruit
which otherwise, there being little or
no market, they are compelled to lose,
and have to buy, if they use any
through the winter, from the northern
market. I have tested it's merits as to
keeping fruit, and am thoroughly sat-
isfed if properly put up it will keep

have found no disturbance with my
system as yet from its effect. have

myself. must say if it is dangerous
I don't wish to encourage its use, but
if it is not, I feel like everybody ought
to use it in saving their fruit, it being
a cheap and, I believe, a healthy pro
cess. AS to saIicilic acid being en-
ployed in bottling beer, wine, cider,
etc., I must say there can't be the dan
ger in it as expressed, as up to the time
I took the Kelley treatment I am sure
that I must have taken quantities,
having drank crates of beer and gal
Ions of wine, cider, ETC., and my health
to-day was never better. l believe
there is a difference in salix and sail
ellie acid, and while I believe the salix
to be healthy, as stated, l don't believe
ealicilic acid to be as dangerous to the
people as the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law and the control of
money by the goldbugs.

HOLLY SPRINGS, N. 4.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The following resolu
tions were passed by Holly Springs AL
lance, No. 102:
WHEREAS, MI. G. B. Afford has writ
ten and had published to the public, in
the Biblical Recorder of May 81, 1898,
an article heaping reproach upon those
around him belonging to secret organi
cations, and has denied referring to
some other organizations but refuses,
according to report of committee, to
relieve us of the charge.
Resolved, That we deny his malicious
charges, so far as they refer to us, as
being in any respect true, and that we
conceive him to be a perpetrato1 of SLAM
der upon his neighbors and not merit
ing their confidence or support in any
respect.
2. That we consider him as acting
very cowardly in covering his express
sions Of malice under a cloak of re-
ligious interest.
3. That a copy Of these resolutions
be sent to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
with a request to publish the same.

FAIR GROVE ALL RIGHT.

FAIR GROVE ALLIANCE, No. 1907,
Franklinville, Randolph Co., N. @.
Mr.. EDITORIALS 1 have never seen
any communication from Fair Grove
Alliance, I take great pleasure in writ
ing you concerning the condition OF
our lodge. Hope you will give space
to these few remarks.
Fair Grove Alliance is getting along
finely. We have a roll of 68 members.
We are neither dead nor sleeping, but
wide awake and determined to show
our colors. We meet often and our
meetings are very interesting. Our
members are waking up to their own
interests more and more.
The crops of this neighborhood are
damaged to some extent, but we have
good reason to be thankful that they
look as promising as they do.
We are not only just awakening but
have been awake for some time. You
need not think we are dormant because
we are not making a great racket and
because you do not see a long letter
from Fair Grove in THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER nearly every issue. Our mem
bers are active, generous, deep thinking
people Many good Alliance brethren
all over the county can testify to that,
as we have had the great pleasure Of
having some of them, from all the diff
ferent parts, among us more than once.
We want them again. We are glad
for all true Alliance people to visit us.
We have many brave soldiers still
fighting for this great cause, while a
few have become weak and finally fall
len by the wayside.- 1t is our duty to
feed these weak, pale creatures on true
Alliance principles, teach them, nour-
ish them and bring them back into the
fold.
1 will close hoping success to you,
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER and the ALI
ance.
F~raternally yours,

LET US HAVE PEACE.
WALKERsvILLE, n. c.

WALKERSvILLE, N. Q.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Jackson Alliance, No.
1,272, wishes to express, through your
columns, it's disapprobation of the acts
of the last legislature in its efforts, as
it seems to us, to injure the State Bust
ness Agency. Politically we are some
what divided in our Sub, but on the
State Business Agency work we r a
unit, standing ready at all times to re-
fund to all contributors, who are mem
bers Of our Alliance, the amounts they
contributed to the work. We know it
has been a decided advantage to us and
would have been more so if we had
availed ourselves Of it.
We regret very much that political
differences have -~estranged so many Of
us. Why is it that we cannot love
each other as brethren and work for
each others good even though we do
differ in politics. The constitution
guarantees to every member the right
to affiliate with the party of his choice.
1t also accords him perfect liberty in
his religious belief. We are not all
members Of the same church and some
of us are not members of any church.
Is that any reason why we should hate
each other9 Is politics more important
than religion7 We know a good many
protesting Christians who work a
great deal harder to get men to vote
right, as they term it, than they do to
get them to lead pure and good lives.
Brethren, let us have peace, Let us
not have in u Order any sectional
lines, any church line nor any political
lines. Let us have charity, love each
other and do good as we have oppor-
tunity.
Fraternally yours,

THE POLK MONUMENT.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I have just read with

letters pertaining to the erection Of

mented Bro. L L. Polk. Truly such
a hero deserves monumental hon0rS.
But when we look around and see hun,
dreds, yea thousands of bright, brainy
boys and girls whose latent powers
must ever lie dormant unless they are
helped in the preparation of themselves
for the great battles Of life, this
thought looms up before US, would II
not be better instead of erecting a mar
BILE shaft, build up and endow an insti
tuition in which the poor boys and girls
of our country may be educated?
Our beloved brother spent his time
energy and money in trying to elevate
downtrodden humanity to a higher
grander, nobIer ideal. If we were to
interrogate him, we think we'd hear
the answer: IF you would do me
honor, go help those ragged children
of the twentieth century to equip them
selves for the great drama upon which
they must soon enter" But some Ma!
