REV. ESQ. P. MOORE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The last meeting of
the Chatham County Alliance ap-
pointed a com mittee, consisting Of J
E. Spence, w. f. Strowd, and Robert
Bland, to draft testimonial of respect
to the memory of Rev. Geo"P. Moore,
late Chaplain of the County Alliance.
That committee submits the following:
1t is with feelings of profound sor-
row that this Alliance receives the an
nourcement of the death of Bro. Geo.
P Moore, our beloved Chaplain. Bro
Moore was an Allianceman as true as
steel to the principles of the Order.
His whole soul was deeply concerned
for the SUCCESS of these principles, and
he always availed himself of every
opportunity to advance them, both by
precept and example. Undoubtedly
he was one Of the earliest reformers of
this county. Although he was, at the
time Of his death, in the 68th year Of
his age, yet he never voted but one
straight ticket, and that was for the
Peoples party last fall. Recognizing
that the principles Of the parties prior
to this time were identical, he had Goa
tented himself to cast his ballot for the
best men of either party.
Bro. Moore had been for many years
a faithful and successful minister Of
the Baptist church.
To the bereaved family and relatives
the sympathies of the entire County
Alliance are extended.
Respectfully submitted,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-12-05
q RALEIGH N. G. DECEMBER s. 1893

when farming will become an estab
lished business in this State, as it is i'm
possible to maintain the fertility of the
soil much longer by the cropping sys
tenn pursued by the farmers generally.
The climate, facilities and lands are in
every respect we'll adapted to dairying
and breeding. There is, of course, con
siderable danger attached to the impor-
tation of fine bred animals into the
Southern country. This herd was
founded by the purchase chiefly of
calves under nine months, imported in
the fall and closely cared for during
the following two summers, especial
attention paid to their feed, water
and shelter during the hottest months.
By such a process (slow as it has been)
a herd of thoroughly acclimated A. J.
@. Q. animals has been permanently
established. E. B. G. H.

MORE FOOTBALL FATALITIES,
W. A. Robertson

Last week we took the position that
football is not suitable game for col
lege students. Two or three State
papers have since joined in the protest.
During the last game played in Raj
eigh three of the young men were dis
abIed and carried from the field.
The New York Advertiser says:
"a boy was killed in Michigan while
playing football, and another was
paralyzed while engaged in the brutal
game in Harrington, Conn, on Mon
day Two deaths from the same cause
were recorded last week. Scarcely a
week passes without one or more of
such casualties. Do we really need to
have this game played any longer2
Every legislature In the land ought to
pass a law prohibiting it. It does more
harm than prize fighting, not only so
far as the loss of life is concerned, but
also because of the deterioration of the
morals of the participants. 1t has
simply come to be rough, vicious
struggle for supremacy, In which the
biggest and strongest bully wins 1t
has ceased to be an amusement"

We answered him that we had all the
cotton we could manage as q surplus
crOp-could not expect any more pro

but the trouble was it would not bring
money enough for urgent needs that
after paying for fertilizers, taxes,
preachers, blacksmithing, farm imple-
ments, etc., the amount left for cloth
ing eight children and buying a few
groceries was too small under the gold
standard.

RESOLUTIONS BY WILSON CO.
ALLIANCE.
COMMITTEE.

WHEREAS, There is a combination or
trust, upon nearly every article of
necessity the farmers have to buy, by
which they fix prices and reap enor-
nous profits; and whereas, these trusts
extend their operations so as to fix the
prices of the farmers produce at and
below the cost of production; therefore
the Wilson County Alliance do recon
mend that w. II. Worth, our State
Business Agent, keep a standing list of
non trust articles in The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, such as axes, machinery, etc.
We also request farmers and all others
who are interested in destroying those
trusts to buy such articles as they need
by this list or memorandum and accept
no other from their merchants.
RESOLVED, That we commend Senator
z. B. Vance for his manly and patriotic
fight in the Senate for free coinage,
and expect and look for him to take
the same action for all the reforms de-
manded and which are so needful to
release the masses from the bondage of
the robber goldbug system.

the legislature. What is the result?
The legislature constitutes the electoral
board of the partisan politicians of the
counties and cities who constitute the
judges of elections of such partisan
politicians as will handle the ballots
and ballot boxes in the way that the
partys interest in the election calls for.
We do not say that this is done, we
only show the opening for fraud that
the system contains. All that we do
say Is that there is general belief that
there is fraud; that results have occur
red in the negro counties that are
totally inexplicable; and that the sys-
tenn of election is the very worst that
iT is possible to devise, with doors wide
open for every species of rascality that
it is possible to conceive of. The first
thing to be done is to repeal the law
constituting electoral boards that may
be of partisans, and put the control of
the elections back under the manage
ment of the county corporation judges.
The Rural Ne1U Yorker says: GA
few months ago notice was given that
dairy certificates had been granted IS
or more young men by the Wisconsin
Agricultural College. These certificates
give assurance that the holders are
fully competent to take charge of a
creamery or cheese factory. Wehave
written these young men to learn their
side Of the story-what these certifi
Gates cost them in time, money and
study, and what value they are in
practical work The answers will
show some remarkable things about
the short agricultural courses now be
coming so popular at our agricultural
colleges. AS one dairy man puts it, the
time is coming when no man can OBJ
tain position in charge of first class
Wisconsin creamery unless he can
show a dairy certificate. That time
may be good way off, but it is none
the less true that the work done by our
dairy schools is coming to be appreci-
ated more and more"

Mr.. EDTOR:-Ex President Harrison
in his message in 1892, said the output
of the farms in 1891 was valued at four
billions and five hundred million dol

valued at nine billion in gold
Shrinkages in values robbed the
farmers of four billions and five hun

Ala per cent. on the estimated in
debtedness of the world it takes Sc, 900,
600, 900 in gold to pay the interest and
absorbs all the coined gold every eight
months. The products sold to get the
gold to pay this enormous interest
would have brought $4,000, 600, 900 in
gold in 1865. Through shrinkages of
values the civilized world is robbed of

the interest in gold they would bank
rupt nearly every civilized nation, all
the debtors and paralyze every indus

and shrink values they will receive the
products of the farm, mine and factory.
Place yourselves where you can com,
mand as many of their dollars for a
given amount of produce as in 1866,
and in a fortnight they will place a

with the increased prices. The cred

Farmers Of America, are you willing
to submit to this high handed robbery
by class that never earned q dollar7
The issue made by the farmers is,
shall they be placed where they can
price their produce, or shall the cred
Itor class price it for them9 The ia
tional issue is, shall the finance and
tariff be 30 adjusted that each class
can price their labor and receive their
share of the output of the farm, fac
tory and mine according to merit, or
shall the creditor class continue to FIX
prices and absorb all there is IN it7 1
offer $25 for an answer to the above
statement.
Reader, demand an answer from the
opposition. The improved Sub Treas
ury plan is the only method devised
that will enable the farmers to price
their produce and receive price that
will compensate them for their time
and service rendered. Reader, if you
have the spirit of free man you will
resolve to do all you can to place your
selves in 1895 where you can price
your labor. No man possessing the
spirit of free man will submit to an
other class fixing starvation prices on
their products. Attend all the Sub
Alliance meetings and persuade your
neighbOrs to do the same Disseminate
Alliance principles by extending the
circulation of papers that advocate
financial reform.

Mayor Stewart, of Philadelphia,
recently directed the police of that city
to find out how many people are out
of work and without any support
Thorough Investigations disclosed the
alarming fact that 46, $50 persons are
unemployed, having been thrown out
by the stopping of many enterprises.
Philadelphia is not boom city. 1t is
