SECRET ORGANIZATIONS.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In the Biblical Re
cOrder of May 31st, G.. B. Afford, Of
Holly Springs, has an article on 'Se
cret Societies" In this he attacks the
Alliance as the visible" organization,
and with the Alliance he associates
Gideon's Band as the one mot visible.
AS to the latter if it ever did exist
know absolutely nothing and care less.
I do know something about the ALI
ance, and as the Recorder has been
good enough and kind enough to open
its columns for MI. Afford to attack
it, and has also been good enough and
kind enough to close them against a
brother offering a courteous article
somewhat on the defensive, I have
made up my mind to appeal to
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. The editor
Of the Recorder certainly has the right
to refuse any article rendered him for
publication; but is it just, is it right,
for him to admit an attack upon the
farmers best friend, and then refuse
an article or the defensive9 Isay 1t is
not.
l do not endorse the idea presented
in Mr.. Affords article, and I do not
think it is right for us to abuse him
and hold him up to the scorn of man
kind for advancing that idea. Mr.. A..
is human and therefore is not infalli.
BILE, He commits a great many sins :;
so do you, so do L. He wants light.
Why don't some brother give it to
him9 Abuse is not light. Abuse him
and he will forever remain in dark
ness. Is he sincere in his desire for

article and does himself a great inius.
tice. After praying for light he goes
on and makes positive assertions which
would lead a person to believe tbot no

A KIND WORD FROM PENNSYL.

NEW HAMBURGH. Pa

NEW HAMBURGH, Pa.
Mr.. EDITOR Your article on silver
in the issue of July 255h was we'll worth
the price of your paper for one year.
Keep the real truths before the people,
viz: the financial ones, for if finance is
right it makes no difference to us if
there is a high tariff law or no tariff
at all, as it tends to make barons and
lords in the country.
We held our first Peoples party con
vention in this county on August 9Th,
1898, and put out a full county ticket.
1t is the only ticket a Democrat or Re-
publican "a unite on, as it throws
away all sectionalism and knows no
North, no South, East or West, but a
whole country ruled for the interest of
the great majority of its citizens, who
are the plain farmers and laborers of
the land
Tell the brethren of your state we
are ready to meet them with the fra
ternal hand of fellowship as citizens of
one Union, moved to battle with our
ballots against all forms of special
favors for the few to the detriment Of
the many.
Yours fraternally,

THE ALLIANCE IN ORANGE.

Mr.. EDITOR:-If you will allow me
space 1 will say a few words in regard
to our Alliance, No. $40. 1t is alive
and in good working order, but we are
not as strong in members as we were
once, owing to several causes. Some
left because they did not get any relief
at once, others on account of negli-
gence. The ones we pity were the ones
that left because the Alliance went
into politics" 1t is only the sap
dropped off, No true AIlianceman has
let n principle slip Our Sab has
never gone down and we do not expect
it to go. There was a time when
we should be more united in our efforts
and stand by what we deem just and
right. Justice we ask and justice we
must have. We have stood the ieers
of men in high position and of men in
low degree, and we are not ashamed of
''Zeke Bilkins."
We were pleased to find our county
meeting well ATTENDED, and we were
encouraged by wise words from DR..
Thompson. Surely he is the right man
in the right place. We r sorry we
were unable to take notes of his address.
1t ought to be heard by the people from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Canada to the Gulf. He was not con
tradicted in but one point. When he
said the last legislature repealed the
Alliance charter he was told by a law
yer that it was only amended" But
the doctor was posted and his informer
gave it up.
Such men as the doctor are calcu-
lated to enlighten the people and raise
the standard of morality. When the
people are universally educated, our
country places will spring up from
dilapidation, our quilted hills will grow
green again with grass and clover; fine
cattle will low and Craze upon a thou
sand hills. School houses, nice ones,
too, will dot the land, good country
churches will be able to pay their pas,
tor more; law, order and culture will
refine and develop the quaint country
home as it was long ago.
Your paper has done more to en-
Tighten the people than any paper in
the United States. May it ever stand
by the people as it has done, regard
less of the money powers in two CONT
nents.
With best wishes for THE PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER and it's course I will close.

INFORMATION WANTED.

IDOLS MILLS, n. y.
Mr.. EDITORIALS I have not seen
anything in The PROGRESSIVE FARMEK
from this county (Ashe) for some Time
1 concluded to pencil you a te" Llnee;
/ was born and raised a Democra' anu
voted that ticket for SO years. Ou' ~"
existing circumstances In nna
wottorS oo,,eo mo TO ask for some IN
formation.
First. I wish to know how b gov
eminent is losing or is going to lose Dy
tbo purchase of silver9 If IS or ~
conts worth of silver bullion will make
a dollar when coined, does not the gov
eminent make from 80 to IS cents
clear profit on each IS or 20 cents
worth of silver it coins9 1t seems to
me that a man doing such a business
would grow rich fast.
Second. How would that make
money scarcer9 I see some politicians
Law the scarcity of money to the pur-
chase of silver under the Sherman law.
Now I ask how will the making Of gold
the only basis of money make it more
PLENTIFUL Do they propose to issue
two dollars for one and allow the gold
holders to loan and draw double inter
est on their double issue3 Would that
not be legislatfng money into the gold
holders pockets Would it not be evil
IDENTIFY unconstitutional to legislate
money out of the pocket of the pro
Queer who patronized the money
lenders and into the pocket of the
money lender, when the lender is al
lowed to force the borrower to pay his
bond in money worth twice az much as
the money borrowed9 Now do younot
know that it would increase the value
of gold one-half to make it The only
basis for money! Now if we stop the
coinage of silver and by this force the
value of silver down lower than it is,
what will they do with the silver that
is now coined9 I see as an excuse for
the present scarcity of money that
some men ara withdrawing their gold
from circulation and locking it up, and
give as an excuse for it the lack of con-
fdence? Confidence in what9 It seems
to me they have too much confidence
in their ability to hold their gold until
they get the Sherman silver law re-
pealed and they will get double its
present value for it.
Now my plan to treat u men is to
issue legal tender greenbacks, based on
lands, the best of all security, issuing
enough to do the business Of the coun-
try and chow the world and the gold
men that we are not murh dependent
on them.
This was President Linc9ln's mode
OF treating them during the war when

am not so much of a Democrat as
to be led by the present administration.
1 hope some old Democrat will en-.
Tighten me.
How does Bro. Governor Carr stand?
Governor, please speak out and let us
know where you are at. 1t might do
some good. Senator Vance has spoken
and l believe has done good, and 1
would be glad to hear many of my old
brother Democrats speak out and tell
us where they are at.

WHEREAS, During the session of the
recent legislature of North Carolina an
effort was made to repeal our State AL
lance charter for the purpose of i'm
pairing our noble Order and destroy
ing u Business Agency and thereby
turn us over again to the merciless
foe; therefore
Resolved, That the Carteret County
Farmers Alliance, in meeting as
sembled, does express it's extreme con
tempt for such despicable conduct on
the part of these misrepresentation
whose law seemed to be the simple
wish OF their corrupt bosses.
2. That should any of the Alliance
men OF this county prove SO recreant
to the principles of the Alliance and
to themselves and families as to with
draw their deposits from the Business
Agency fund, as they are being urged
to do by their enemies, we pledge our
selves to replace the amount in the
hands of our Trustee. 3
