When the North Carolina politicians
were weighed they were all found want
ing-an Office under Elias or Simmons.
Seaside Alliance, Fender county, has
recently re-organized and is now on
the upgrade. Let the good work go on.
The politicians didn't mean it when
they said prices would go up after
the repeal of the Sherman law. They
meant to say prices would go down.
The Richmond Times, Democratic,
says it's party carried the State by
fraud in the recent election. We sup
pose it knows what it is talking about.
If the Republicans were in now our
Democratic friends could charge the
hard times up to them. AS the case
now stands, Grover must be respon
sible.
We advise our friends to buy as few
New England made goods as possible.
Resist the temptation to buy Christmas
goods, OF anything that you can do
without.
The Concord street railway cost $780,
900 three years ago. Last week it sold
for S., 900, one sixth Of its value. That
is one of the many bad results of a
gold bug policy.
We are requested to say that Edge
combe County Alliance will meet neal
Eagles Store, in No, 9 township. Date
will be announced later. All delegates
will be Hospitality entertained.
President Cleveland's last message
has just one praiseworthy feature.
He didn't rehearse that old lie about
how prosperous and happy the people
are. He didn't say n word about it.
The Trustees of the A. & M. College
met here last week. They found the
College in good shape. The Trustees
discussed the football games and talked
like they didn't approve of the game.
Kansas is a great State-the Empire
State of the Northwest. Within her
borders no less than 765 newspapers
and periodicals are published, or about
three times the total number published
in North Carolina.
THE mountain 1abored and brought
forth a mouse" The quotation may
not be understood, but it means
that the tariff reform some of us fit,
bled and died for" many years, is a
mouse, and a very small one.
Hard times are causing many rob
berries and much petty theiving. A
few nights ago ONE persons entered q
lot on the premises of Mr.. A. M. Tyler,
Secretary of the Virginia Agricultural
Society, at Richmond, butchered a fine
Jersey Gov and carried the beef away.
This was a bold stroke. The rogues
left the hide behind, which, we pre-
sumo, was done to prove that they
were administration men.
We don't like to be forever giving
advice to people who are so thick
headed, but it is a duty. The bankers
who are failing ought to diversity. In
stead of depending entirely upon lend
ing money for a living, they ought to
buy a few shotguns, umbrellas and
buggies to lend out. IF the manufac-
turers would raise their W raw ma
terial instead Of buying it, they would
be prosperous and happy. !

In the past two weeks two well TODD
men have committed suicide in this
State because they could not pay their
debts. Tragedies of this kind occur
daily all over the United States. Many
of the suicides are people thrown out
of employment. Yet Grover Cleve-
land tells us to just wait patiently for
better times. Was he and bis asso-
ciates elected for this purpose7

There is a true story of a man in Bos-
ton who forty years ago failed in bust
ness and could not pay his debts. He
began work again and paid his creditors
one by one as fast as he could. It took
him thirty years. Some of his creditors
were dead but he hunted up their chill
dren and paid every cent. People said,
His religion is the kind we want

The above is one of the "new indus,
tries started since the Sherman law
was repealed" mentioned by the gold
bug papers. The great manufacturing
and literary city of America, the rich
est city of it's size the world, has so
many people out of employment that
''ejectment companies" can flourish.
Yes, new Industries are starting rapid
ly, but they are like the above-evi-
dences eff poverty rather than Of pros
perity.

ALLIANCE NEWS.

When Meetings Were or VIII be Held
Other Notes.
New Alliances are being organized
every week in Pennsylvania.
The Minnesota State Alliance will be
held at Minneapolis on the 9th of Jan
uary.
A big Alliance rally was held at Con-
way, s. c., last week. Congressman
McLaurin delivered the address.
The Peninsula Farmer reports a
great increase in Alliance enthusiasm
in Maryland. New life has been in
fused and politicians must take a back
seat hereafter.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-12-12

We have had the Bill Mckinley tariff
bill, and nov we have the Bill Wilson
bill. One was Republican, the other is
Democratic. The Bill Mckinley bill
didn't raise the price of things and the
Bill Wilson bill won't lower the prices.
Are we any better off, Bill?

as much quinine as you can with safety.
Eat any ordinary food. People in the
country do not always have rye whis-
key in easy reach, but it should be pro
cured if the disease becomes epidemic.
Lemons and quinine can be kept ready
also. The patient may get right sick
and feel like his brains r ''sloshing
up against the roof of his head" as a
celebrated writer once said in describ-
ing his experience with the disease,
but a large per cent. will get off light
if the above directions are followed and
extra care taken in nursing.

Mr.. Peele says the reform press in
other States do not publish what he
writes. In this he is mistaken. His
article on the wall Street Party
Against the South and the West" was
sent out to many hundreds of reform
papers by one of the Western n1 WIS
paper associations.

1t is enough to say
at present that we have
already on hand a stock
of silver, coined and
uncoined, sufficient to
meet al the pro able
requirements of the
country for many " ars
to come.

Gold is the only in
ternatiOnal money, and
all trade balances are
settled in gold, or,
which is the same
thing, on a gold basis,
all other forms of ur-
rencS being adjusted to
that sta dard. 1t is
useless for the advo-
Gates of q different sys-
tenn to insist that this
ought not to be so ; it
is so, and we cannot
change the fact. But
the gold eagle and
double eagle are not
accepted at a partiOu-
lar valuation in these
settlements simply be-
cause the United States
of America have de-
clared by law that
they STALL be legal ten
der at their nominal
value but solely be-
cause the bullion on
tanned in them, if I'M
coined, would be worth
the same amount.
