that he was of the impression that all he

CAMDEN COUNTY RESOLUTIONS.
A. w. JORDAN,

Mr.. EDITORIAL a convention Of
Camden County Farmers Alliance,
held at Shiloh Oct. Is, 1893, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Nation is in the
throes of a money crisis-the producers
and laborers are starving in the midst
of plenty-and the business interests
of the country are paralyzed for want
Of a sound and copious circulating me
dunn of exchange, caused by the de-
monetization of silver and the contrac-
ton of the currency. These conditions,
we believe, are caused by unwise legis-
lation, the present law favoring the
classes and depressing the masses. We
believe the present wrangle in the U.
S. Senate over the repeal bill is a re-
Fiction upon our Christian civilization,
a travesty upon legislation and a men
ace to the liberty Of the citizen; that a
coalition exists between the admins
tration and the money sharks of the
land in an unholy effort to destroy sill
yer as a money metal, which has been
the money of the people since the dawn
Of civilization. Therefore
RESOLVED, That we accord all honor
and praise to Senator Zebulon B. Vance
and his coadjutors in the Senate Of the
United States who are standing like a
stOnewall in the defence of the rights
and liberties of the people.
2. We ~deprecate the course of the
administration and those Senators who
advocate the unconditional repeal OF
the silver-purchasing clause Of the acl
of 1890 known as the Sherman act,
believing they are in the tolls OF the
money power and desire to subject the
American people to European condi
tons.
3. We counsel and advise those Sen
asors who are standing so nobly in the
defence of the rights of the people tx
yield not, and unborn generations o.
farmers and laborers-w will rise up anC
call sou blessed.

PAsoUoTANK RESOLUTIONS.

Mr.. EDITORIAL a regular meeting
Of Pasquotank County Alliance, held
with Okisko Sub Alliance on Oct. II,
1898, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Our noble Vance, in view
of impending ruin to all legitimate in
dustry, hath thrown himself in the
breach and on the side of the people to
antagonize British rule and the money
mower of the Wall street gang, thereby
characterizing himself a prophet and
statesman in defense of human liberty
in this nefarious attempt to degrade
the money of our Constitution and
fathers.
RESOLVED, That we tender him our
heartfelt thanks for his manly course
in placing principle above party, and
the gallant stand he has taken in com
batting the enemies of this grand old
Republic. We pray the blessings of
Heaven upon him and trust his last
days may be as glorious as his earlier
were brilliant.
2. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent him and s>copy each be g n to

OUR CLUB

That we may be more enlightened as
to what is going on in the different
parts of our great country, we ought to
diversity our reading. More Western
and Northern papers ought to be read
in the South and more Southern papers
should be read in the West and North.
Believing this the best thing to do to
everlastingly obliterate the prejudices
of the past, we have arranged a list of
papers to offer with THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. The price in the parenthesis
is the regular subscription price of the
paper and the other figures are what
we charge for the paper with THE Pro
GREssTvE FARMER for one year. Re-
newals for the other papers cannot be
taken at the club rates, but all netU
subscribers can. You can renew for

PERoUIMANs COUNTY MEETING.

WNFALL, N. @.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Enclosed you will
please find $1.OO renewal for THE Pro
GRESsIvE FARMER. The Perquimans
County Farmers Alliance met yester-
day at Bethel. The Sub-Alliances were
well represented by delegates, and the
Order is surely growing, slowly it may
be, and yet steadily. Bro. Massey, on
account of sickness could not be with
us, and it was a disappointment to
many but Rev. T. W. Babb, editor of
the Perquimans Record, who is filling
Bro. Massey's appointments, made us
a strong and eloquent speech. Bro.
Babb is a good speaker, an Alliance
man and a reformer.

TRADING ON THIRTY DAYS RE-
SUMED.

The Executive Committee, for State
| Alliance, in session Sept. 22l, have in
structed me to fill all orders on thirty
days time as heretofore for Business
Agents who have approved bonds in
my Office, or who may execute such
bonds as shall, after careful examina-
ton, pass my approval, provided this
shall not apply to any Agent who Is In
arrears on account.
Now if every new bond shall have
upon it the seal of the Alliance from
which it comes, and certificate of
County Clerk also attached, it will
greatly expedite the filling of first
orders on each bond. On all the blank
bonds recently sent out by me you will
find the words OFFICIAL Place ALI
ance seal over SEAL. this. When
a brother makes an order on thirty
days his account and bond will be close
ly scrutinized and if they do not appear
entirely satisfactory, then I am not
allowed to ship goods on them.
Let me insist that no brother abuse
this privilege. If you are not sure
that you will be able to meet your bills
80 days from date, then do not order on
your bond. / do not like to force col
lections, but will be compelled to do it
in case of default. I can not pay for
your goods unless you pay me. You
must know by this time how it is that
we have been able to do such a volume
of business with no money invested.
1t has been simply by meeting our en-
gagements promptly and on time.
That is the secret of success with your
State Agency. And this rule must not
be UiOlGted. Don't wait 80 days after
yau have received the goods before
you set about getting up the money to
pay for them. Your bond does not
allow that, but says go days from
date of bill" Remember that the
money must reach me lUitbin the 80
days.
OF course you can place your orders
at any time of the month you choose,
but it is preferable to this Office that
you place them at the first of month if
possible.
Before 80 days from this time you
will need your winter shoes. Why
not place orders at once and thus allow
sufficient time, 80 that your shoes will
be on hand when needed.
Now, brethren, I shall try to serve
your interests, and thereby the great
Alliance, by doing all in my power to
buy for you anything you may wish
at the very lowest price. We shall ex-
pect you to do yOur port.
Fraternally.

Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. It costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or
Secretary nicely printed or it,
100 nice envelopes, printed,

1t will be a saving in price to you

Some Of the concerns with which we

trade, others will not. On all we can
keep better track of it if orders are
sent first to my Office.

are very high priced just now, at Bos-
