COST OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM

Mr. EDIToR:-The credit system
costs the consumers 20 per cent, or
about four hundred millions annually.
This is enough to pay State, county
and municipal taxes and run an eight
months school in every State. Substi-
tute the industrial financial system
and you will ave this sum to the peo
nie, Issue fifty dollars per capita.
Establish the Sub Treasury, let the
farmers and IaDorers co operate as
f]acturers do and fix a price ON their
produce and labor, and you have the
CO operative system, and prosperity to
every class will follow. AS It is, fac
tories fix a price On their finished
wares and a price on the raw material
continue as long as the present financial
system prevails. If the farmers are
possessed of the spirit of fresmen. thew
will no longer submit to this Condition

We hope the worst is over, as SO many
warnings will cause our people to be
more careful and be better prepared 20

taking decided steps to organize a gooo
fire department.
~ The many friends of Capt. K. ),
Powell, of this city, will regret to learn
that he has made an assignment. lie
did business on Wilmington street,
and handled groceries chiefly. He
turned over all his stock to creditors.
A large per cent. of business men fail,
and our financial sy stem is increasing
the number,
~ The Tarb0ro SOutherner states
that a farm containing 1,675 acres sold
near there for So, 300 recently, and that
another large farm brought the same
price per acre 1t adds that There
seems to be no market for large farms"
Well, the large farmers will find out
me Of these days that they are as poor
as the small farmers. Then they will
want to kick themselves for not stand
ing by their poor neighbOrs.
~ We wish all our friends a happy
new year. To those who do not agree
with us we bear no i'll will. 1t would
not do for everybody to think alike.
We hope 1898 will go into history as a
year of peace, health and prosperity
for all. Let us all start out with a de-
termination to do better than ever be
fore. Let the dead past remain buried.
Let every one look forward, The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER is going to act upon
it's own advice. In addition to that it
will continue 20 be the most interest
ing paper in the State. 1t will supply
the need of both an agricultural and
reform newspaper. The best writers
will write for its columns. Cuttings,
from the best journals will be trans
ferred to our columns regularly. You
can't do without it.

something for a rainy day. Still the 5
per cent. continue to get vastly rich
and 95 per cent. poor accordingly.
This is not idle calamity bowling 1t
is facts that cannot be disputed.
That i snot ali. Real estate, especially
farms, has decreased in value all the
way from 25 to Is per cent. If you
don't believe it, try to sell your farm
at what you paid for it twenty years
ago., or what it would have sold for
then, everything in the way Of i'm
provements being deducted. Still there
are people who think a little tariff
tinkering will put things in proper
shape.

HELP PRESIDENT BUTLER.

President Butler has published the
amounts contributed in each issue of
his paper. 1t now foots up a total of
$198.25. This sum is duly appreciated
by him, but is only a small amount
compared to his loss. We trust that
others who may be getting up a fund
will forward it at once, as he wants to
get his paper started again. 1t has
been printed in Raleigh for several
weeks, but this is more expensive and
very inconvenient. We hope Ccur
friends will get up all the money hey
can at once. His paper has done val
liable work and must be put in a posi-
ton to continue the same.

STRANGE LIFE SENTENCE

Did you ever hear of an animal being
sentenced to life imprisonment for mis-
demeanor? 1t is not likely that you
have. Daniel Click and wife, each
nearly a hui dred years old, and their
bachelor son, Jonathan, aged about
70, live near Paint Rock, in the West
ern part Of this State. About seven
years ago a young dog belonging to
the family killed a chicken, which was
contrary to the peace and dignity of
the State. Mrs. Click found the dog
guilty Of murder in the first degree,
but finally changed the sentence of
death to life Imprisonment Accord
ingly the dog was shut up in an empty
corn crib, where he has remained up
to the present time. Food and water
is furnished regularly and no Tailor is
more watchful of his prisoner than the
Click family. Speaking of strange
characters, this is another reminder of
the fact that North Carolina is always
ahead.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Panama Canal fraud vas
large enough, but it was only a mite
when compared to what the Nicaragua
scheme will pan out.
* A good many people believe that
Colonel Kingsbury, of the Wilmington
Messenger, will join the Alliance after
awhile. He has the right ring about
him at any rate.
The Winston Sentinel asks this
question: "Was not the incoming
Congress elected to revise the TARIFF
Please don't ask such pointed questions,
Bro. Burbank; it makes the tariff re-
formers nervous.
~ Senator Palmer, of Illinois, OPP
poses the anti-option bill because, he
says, it wouldn't be enforced if made a
law. Well, it should be enforced, and
somebody would want to know why
if the law vas passed.
~ The New York papers report
much suffering there among the poor
on account of the greedy coal combine.
The poor who buy by the scuttleful are
paying at the rate of $40 per ton. The
papers are scoring the "greedy rich"
~ The royal family in England
spend $40, 900 a week for family ex-
penses, and 40, 900 London children go
to school without breakfast, or do not
go at all. Such conditions cannot fail
to breed Socialists. There are many
such in America.
To the brethren who are sending
in appeals for help where they have
lost property, we suggest that they
come in as members of the relief fund
and file their applications according to
the rules Of the same. This is the only
Systematic way to get help.
~ Jay Gould's family have given
an order TO a press clipping bureau for
clippings from every paper that men
tions MI. Gould in any way. They
will not get many complimentary
notices, but perhaps they will learn
what the public thought of the Little
Wizard"
~ If more time and talk was de-
voted to measures instead of men the
outlook would be more encouraging.
Who will be in the Cabinet CT who
will be postmaster at Frog Level,
is a very insignificant matter; but the
reforms needed are the overshadowing
questions.
~ Detectives have discovered an
establishment in Chicago that makes
counterfeit lottery tickets in exact
imitation of the tickets sent out by the
noted concern that Deacon Wanna
maker doesn't allow the newspapers to
mention. The establishment has made
a large number of the tickets.
We rather think the South Caro-
lima legislature over did the business
in making a railroad commission. For
instance the bill passed gives the COM
mission power to make schedules. 1t
requires an experienced railroad man
to do this. Too much power invested
in a commission is as bad as too little.

"Judge" Mcbride Controls Hurd's Vote

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1S-TSpecial )-Morrison Of
King has introduced a bill providing for the
submission of an amendment to the constitu-
tion by which the governor will be empowerc:
to appoint superior court judges where vacau-
ces exist, to serve until the second Monday in
January following the next general election.
As the constitution now stands the executive
can appoint Judge to serve only until the tim,
of the succeeding general election, thus causiI-

L. G. Million, Democrat, was elected to tho
short term between the election and second

for the four-year term commencing January O.

paliation of this unusual conduct, that

LOVE AND FAITH.

On white leaves of the lily with fiery blood of
rose
I write thee letter; a love song compose.
As airy and as fragrant as spring in lane and
field,
me zephyr gently folds it; with dewdrops it is
sealed.
The honeybee will bring it to thee in moon
light fair;
its sting is sharp and poisonous; dear little
love, take care.
For hast thou me forgotten, and art thou not
moro mine?
1t painfully is piercing deep in the heart of
thine.
But if in faith unbroken, in love thy heart was
stout,
1t will with honey sprinkle thy little rosy
mouth.
Then myself will hasten forever to thy side
To strew thee with sweet mamma, with kisses
and delight
