A Lesson.

If cen one star in heaven fails to shine,
The earth is darker for that loss of light.
If thou can'st laugh and smile in sorrows night
The earth is brighter for that smile of thine.
MY AVIARY.
My aviary is a good green wood;
would not cage its sOngsters if could.
Sweeter the song of one wild bird to me
Than all the notes of sad captivity.
ARBCTUs.
Fair fragrant buds that nestle in the grass
And hide from me so closely as pass,
Thou art an emblem of true charity,
That bends its head and hides that none may see.
LOVER.
The honey-bee, through summer hours,
Goes counting all the sweetest flowers,
Into their hearts he slyly slips,
And steals sweet nectar from their lips

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
GOLD Rock, N. @.
Our Alliance is firm end will be to
the end of rascality and unjust laws to
the laborer, and until something better
is instituted in it's stead. Good ALI
ances make a good government and a
good social meeting, whenever we may
meet at home or abroad. Our ALI
ance in the State got On it's first legs
when it started the Business Agency.
More manufacturing is in progress, and
nothing better could have been started,
in my estimation, for the benefit of our
Alliancemen and the country general
ly. Manufacturing ought to have been
started at the close of the war, and
now we would have been a happy and
prosperous people in the South. But
speculation took the lead, and has
brought US to ruin, and will ruin any
country. A living is all we can eat and
wear, and more than this is q curse.
More than this don't reach the fourth
generation; more than this God don't
allow; more than this the first church
didn't allow, only according to their
needs, and why should We try to go
ahead and have all destroyed7 What
he seemeth to have ia taken away and
given to another.
I am now marking certain pieces in
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER and handing
them to the teachers. I am trying to
get the teachers and preachers to read
what a labOrer knows is right. am
in hopes that every good Allianceman
will mark these pieces and hand them
to those anti Prohibitionist teachers
and preachers, and let them see they
are the tools aiding the wrongs that
are being perpetrated in our land and
country. Yours truly,
B. J. ARC8BELL.

A GOOD SYMPTOM.

Under the above heading we find the
following in some State exchanges:
when you find that a man is afraid
of one of those yellow days in July,
that is a sure sign of a Populist."
Mr.. Q. M. Cook, Democratic nominee
for Congress in the 4th district, is
credited with this brilliant remark.
We suppose he made it in some speech
or Sunday school address. Just why
he said it or why any paper thought it
worth quoting, is likely to remain a
mystery. But it has gone forth.
Mr.. Cook has had his light hid under
a bushel. The Democratic party has
been kept in the dark too long. The
party leaders were not aware that a
great statesman, capable of turning
out a car load of presidential lumber,
was quietly living in the ranks of the
party. Eureka!

They will substitute papers located In
favorable sections throughout the
country and have them bring direct
and presumably irresistible pressure
upon those who seek election to the
House of Representatives. Enough IN
huence has been exerted on the Senate.
The sugar schedule as passed by that
body is satisfactory to the trust. But
it conflicts with the previous action OF
the House. It is certain that a sufh-
Gent number of members must be con-
verted to render sure a concurrence IN
the action of the Senate. Hence the
change of front that has recently oc-
Cured in a number of prominent party
organs. They have been reclaimed
from the error Of their way through
missionary work accomplished by
agents of the sugar trust. The true
meaning of the old couplet.
0 what a diFerenc @ there may be
'TWixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee.
has been brought right home to these
journalists. The horizon of their vision
has been extended. They have ex-
changed their spectacles. Whereas
last week they advocated free sugar in
the interest of the laboring classes,
they o believe that a duty is neces-
sary to raise revenue. The Senate has
been golswashed into this way of think
ing. Can the House be brought to
concur7-DdiIy Ne1US.

The last New York legislature appro-
priated So, 900 to be spent in agricul-

have no opposition, nor have any on the
ticket, au official copy of which is pub
lished elsewhere. The polls will be
held at the usual voting places and will
be kept open from sunrise to sunset.
Because there is no opposition to the
ticket is no reason why every democrat
in the city should not vote.
