WHY DIDN'T THEY REPORT

Why didn't the legislative commit
tees appointed to look into expendi
lures for extra clerical hire make a re-
porte The taxpayers of North Carolina
are o anxious to know where their
funds are going than they are to know
where the Alliance funds are going.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER has begun
to find out for them and these columns
will keep you posted. We give you a
few items along that line this week.
The Progressive FARMER is going to
break all former records along this line
In the next few weeks. We want
every taxpayer in the State to see what
ls going on, and now is the time for
u friends to redouble their efforts to
put it into every home in the State.
The fun is only beginning. No matter
whether you belong to the Alliance or
not; no matter what party you vote
with, you want to be posted. Read
this paper for the next six or twelve
months and you will be posted. We
are going to deal in facts taken from
the records-no guess-work about it.

LEGISLATIVE CHRISTMAS TREE

A Christmas tree in March is a novel
sight. But they had one before the
legislature adjourned. Lieutenant
Governor Doughton shook the tree
aud a gold headed cane fell off.
Speaker Overman threw his gavel I'm
into the tree and knocked off a dozen
pieces of silver. Senator King received
a gold-headed cane, so did Chief Clerk
Burkhead. Mr.. Burkhead also pulled
a meershaum pipe from one of the
lower branches. Door keeper Julian
received a gold pen. Door keeper Cliff
ton, who the Visitor says is "a natural
born door keeper" and who is all wool
and two yards wide, was presented
with a bottle of "anti-fat." MANY
touching little speeches were mad9 and
great big tears rolled down the cheeks
Of the 0 h~ysterical statesmen who
realized that they were soon to be out
Of a lob.

IN THE SADDLE.

Members Of the Alliance are power
fully non partisan, but they hardly
over refuse an office. We find in our
State government several members
Governor Carr, Secretary Coke, Super
intendent of Public instruction Scar
borough, Commissioner of Agriculture
Robinson and Superintendent of the
penitenti ary Leazar.
1t is reported that some of these
gentlemen have Withdrawn from the
Alliance, but only one did so before he
got the Office. That was the honorbIe
way to do. The other held on to
the Alliance breast until he got full of
the milk Of non-partisanism and then
sat down AMI refused to get up any
more. Like a porker that is too fat,
he does nothing but sit and grunt when
more Alliance food is offered.

lection of taxes. The amount collected
from the Seaboard & Roanoke Go. was
81, 500. We thought we had an At,
torney General. If so, why employ 80
many other high-priced lawyers? WHY
pay the Attorney General a fair salary
and then pay in addition S., 900 cold,
clammy dollars to collect 81, 500?
In the same report we find that in
addition to other extravagant expendi-
lures this item: "For contingencies,
$28, 9O8. 81" Now what was this
twenty eight thousand dollars paid for!
Was it used for Bipartisan purpo8e82"
The people of North Carolina are salts
fed that no Alliance funds have been
used for partisan purposes" but they
now want to know something about
the State government affairs.

We don't know whether he contributed

the amount. Every member can do

machines. Put the average saved on
every machine sold at $50 and the total
amount saved on this one article alone
would be $21, 100, or about two thirds
of the entire fund. On guano and nun
dreds of articles the saving has been
nearly as great in proportion. Let the
good work go on and let every member
arrange to get the advantages.

H NEW SOUTH.

The New South" is as yet rather
more vapor than anything else. 4
few cities like Atlanta, Birmingham,
Chattanooga and other smaller places
have grown up quite rapidly, factories
have multiplied with gratifying rapid
ity, but the great agricultural sections
of the South have made no progress
There are isolated cases where farmers
have prOspered fairly we'll, but the
great mass are worse off than they
were ten or fifteen years ago. In
travelling through the South you will
notice here and there a farm house that
evidences prosperity, but there aretwo
dilapidated ones to every new one.
Especially is this true of the cotton
States. From a car window you can
see many pretty villages, but they are
not alwayssubstantial. These thoughts
are suggested by IN article in the Rich
mCnd Sun and to those who know the
country we'll will be nothing new.
Until our agricultural population get a
showing the New South will
be more fancy than fact.

"STRICTLY N~ON-PARTIsAN."

We like to tease those people who
raise such a racket and refuse to asso-

ridiculous their position is.

Alliance flushed up because some of
their brethren didn't vote "my avag."
So they passed a resolution to with
draw from the State Alliance, and even
refused to listen to q speech from one

vote "nly ray.' Well! welIM weIiM!

THE AGENCY

The contemplate, inexcusable, de,
testable attempt of the legislature to
injure the Alliance is not a failure by
any means. But they will fail to in
jure the Business Agency, the very
thing they were striking at the
hardest. A majority OF the men who
contributed to the agency were true
blues and they are yet. They will not
violate their obligations and contracts
just to crafty a few empty skulled
politicians. The Business Agency will
be able to carry out all contracts and
the volume of business is growing
every week. 1t saved to AIliancemen
last year over 800, 900 visible cash, to
say nothing of regulating and keeping
down prices to everybody. 1t will do
nearly twice as much business this
year. Every member of the Order
can have the advantages of the gency
if he will try. A brother has inst

ONLY TIRE z.

So far as we have noticed only three
papers outside Of the Alliance ranks
said II word protesting against the
repeal of the Alliance cha ter in this
State-two Democratic and one Re
publican. The Henderson GOldIeaf
and Weldon Nears, Democratic, and
the Winston Republican. These editors
had the courage to speak out against
what was little short of a crime, and
the farmers of the State should not for
get these papers when they subscribe
for reading matter. The other secular
papers cried repeal it," or else re
manned silent. We don't advise boy
cotting, for everybody ought to read
both sides, but we do think people
ought to give a more liberal patronage
to papers that are friendly to their in
terests and that ask that justice be
done.

THAT CHAR TER.

TARIFF LESSON NO. SIX.

Now we viii tell the school about al
article that Senator Vance often men
toned in his speeches. He had found
out somehow that there was a tariff
tax on pocket knives, especially bar
lows, and wool hats. Owing to that
fact he was considered an authority on
the tariff question. Other grave men
found Outabout the tariff on 6, 900 other
articles.
Nov let's see what reduction the
Congress of 1890 made on pocket
knives. On the cheapest grade Chose
costing not over so cents per DOZEN
the tariff was reduced one half. That
was remarkable. On those costing
from SO cents to 81 SO per dozen, no re
ducti0n was made. No reduction was
made on those ranging from 81. 50 to
So per Gozen. Knives costing from So
to 81 per dozen remain unchanged.
Raz0rs and razor blades remain the
Very little change was made
on carving knives, table cutlery or
anything Of that kind. When any
reduction was made the tariff was made
not lower. Files, file blanks,
rasps, as such material was not
changed materially, though some was
made a little higher. So much for
g tariff reform " along that line.
