. NEGRO LAWYER AIDING THE
DEMOCRATS.

Ed. Johnson, the negro lawyer, is out
in a long article the effect of which is
to assist the NeUs and Observer in
securing a fusion between the negroes
and the Democratic party. MI. John
son, colored, is opposed to fusion be
tween the Peoples party and the Re-
publicans. He is right in this, but we
doubt his motive. The Democratic
party has adopted Johnson's school
history Of the negro rae for the public
schools in North Carolina. This is the
milk in Johnson's cocoanut. When
Johnson's party friends in the back
woods hear of his fusion with the
Democratic party, they may think it is
to sell his book, and it may weaken his
advice.
Major Finger, Capt. Kendrick and
Ed. johnson were seen with their
heads together in close conversation
during the Democratic State Conven
ton. Perhaps Johnson's letter is the
result of that interview:
These ''sly old coons" are smart
enough to fool young coon Johnson for
all he is worth. 1t is going to take sly
coons to capture all the coon votes this
year. Johnson is evidently afraid that
if the Peoples party carries the State
it will not adopt his book for the pub
lie schools, as the Democratic party
has done.

PENsIoN

THE PROGRESSIVE TRAINER, in it's own
peculiar view, represents Hon. Hoke
as adding to the pension roll in
order to make votes. Has that paper
printed that this Democratic admins
tration has saved tw~enty-four million
dollars to the tax payers by cutting off
the pensioners who got on the rolls by
fraud ."-NetCs and Observer.
"Has that paper printed?" Printed
whats Why, ''that this Democratic
administration has saved tw~enty-four
million dollars" etc. Why, certainly
not. THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER would
not thinko of publishing such a yarn, es-
pecially in the face of that plank in a
recent Democratic national platform
which reads as follows:
PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS.
While carefully guarding the inter
ests of the taxpayers, and conforming
strictly to principles of justice and
equity, it has paid out more for pen
siOns and bounties to soldiers and sail
ors Of the Republic than was ever paid
before during an equal period.-Demo-
cratic Platform, 1888.
This plank endorses the pension
frauds that the Republicans had
foisted upon the people, and actually
boasts that Cleveland's first admins
tration had outstripped the Republican
administrations of the past, and taunts
them with having done too little; and
yet it seems to be expected that
TIE PROGRESSIVE FARMER should
help the NeUs and Observer de
ceive and keep the people in dark
ness with such inconsistent falsehoods.
See the official figures as sent out from
the Treasury Department, compiled
under Secretary Carlisle's supervision,
from 1873 to 1893, inclusive, as follows:

THE COST OF THE INAUGURAL
BALL.

In answer to several inquiries, we
quote from the State Auditors report.
On page 81 is the following entry:
paid w. Fl. Day, chairman, on in
augural ceremonies, for expenses of
inaugural ceremonies, 1898, $500. co."
On page 81 we find the following:
Received of w. II. Day, chairman
joint committee on inaugural cere-
monies, amount not used, $50 II"
Thus it appears that Notwithstanding
the report published throughout the
State about the time the last General
Assembly adjourned that the appro-
priation had not been used, but had
been returned, there was Sab SO used.
Now we contend that the State can as
consistently appropriate the peoples
money to a church as to a ball.
Just as we go to press, attention
is called to another item of $50 paid in
May, 1898, on this account, to Alcott
& Stronach.

H PROPER COURSE.

A dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind,
says that the Christian Endeavor So.
ciety with 5000 members, Epworth
League, 80, 900 and Young Peoples
Baptist Society with 10, 900 members,
have decided to act independently in
politics hereafter or form a party es
pecially to carry out their wishes.
Strange that they have never thought
of this before. People who vote for
what they don't want expecting to get
what they want are generally dlSap'
pointed. The members of the Alliance
tried this plan until they got tired and
then a good many took advantage Oh
the liberty clause in the American
Constitution and are trying another
plan. If this doesn't bring success II
will at least relieve us of the charge
that we demand one thing and Vo8
for another.

inal brothers retired from the business
they were succeeded by their two sons.
William r. and Frederick @. At pres
emit Theodore and Henry Havemeyer
are at the head of the trust, the latter
being President. Thus we see that
three generations of Havemeyers have
figured prominently in the sugar max
ing industry Of this country. Though
the firm has existed almost a hundred
years it was not till 1887 that human
greed mastered the situation and in
duced them to become dissatisfied with
the accumulation of wealth through
legitimate channels and form a trust.
The firm had already made as many
millions as they ought to want. Many
sugar firms were induced to join and
the trust is now without a competitor.
Congress refuses to dissolve or restrict
the trust, and only a few days ago the
wall to keep out foreign competition
was made stronger and the trust has
nothing to do but find q place to store
its money. We ordinary mortals must
look out for competitors apply business
tact to keep our heads above water.
The sugar trust has nothing to worry
about except to keep its works in
operation.
The trust is capitalized at $85 OOO, 900,
but has only $40, OOO, 900 invested. Last
year it cleared about $35, 900, 900, Or
nearly as much as the capital invested.
1t is no wonder that the Havemeyers
livein luxurious splendor in New York,
magnificence that astonishes the orr
entail monarehs. They have splendid
country seats, and entertain with a
lavish hand.
The American people are at the
mercy of this desperately greedy com-
bination, and many others of similar
nature. After 80 many promises it
was expected, by some, that the pres
ent Congress would take steps to keep
these combinations in reasonable
bounds, protect the millions against
the dozens, but we are doomed to dis.
appointment. The trusts can now in
crease their robberies. Congress has
surrendered us to them, and if the
trusts see proper, they can increase
their villany. The ballot box is our
only redress Our votes must be cast
for plain men from the great masses,
men untainted by the Doodle of the
trusts, men who have suffered and who
will not forget their friends and neigh
bors at home.

H SHOE FACTORY.

Our business manager has devoted
much time for the past two years to
the investigation and study of the
question of manufacturing, and espe-
cially to the shoe factory. In his in
Quiries he has learned that the best re-
suits can be secured from a factory
with a capacity to turn out 300 pairs
of finished shoes per day. And it usu.
ally takes a capital stock of $50, 900 to
start and run such a factory. Capital
to be used about as follows:
Plant, lot machin'ry & bulldog .$15, 900
Officers of corporation per year 5000
Drummers on the road per year 5000
This makes. .$25, 900
or one half of the capital stock. The
other 5000 is invested in materials,
fuel, labor, repairs, etc.
The factory starts, say, April LIST.
Drummers fill their trunks with sam
pies and take the road, ride on palace
cars, take sleepers at night and stop at
the best hotels They secure orders
for delivery of goods by Nov. Let, bills
dated Nov. LIST. and payable March 1st.
The goods must be sold at profit enough
to insure against loss from bad debts
and failures, pay all these other ex-
penses and then turn in to the stock
holders a good, snug dividend on their
investment, These are the questions
which the wise builder considers before
he lays his foundation and commences
to build. This is the ordinary system
of the present day.
The average cost to the factory, of the
very best leather in the average 90 or
So shoe does not exceed % cents per Id.
The cost, all told, for operating the fac
tory, that is for power and labor ex-
pendedin the factory itself, does not ex-
coed 90 cts. per pair. Thus if your shoes
weigh two lbs. would make the cost to
the factory (not including the officers
and drummers' salaries and wear of
machinery not exceeding 70 cents on
an average. Your merchant has doubt

COST OF WAR AND EDUCATION

The United States and switzerland
are the only two countries that spend
more per capita, for education than for
maintaining a standing army and navy.
The United States spends annually 80
cents per capita for war purposes and
81 IS for education. Switzerland spends
"a cents for education and SO cents for
keeping up her standing army. The
amounts vary considerably in other
leading countries. Russia spends 50 O4
for war and only 8 cents per capita for
education. France spends 81 for war
and 20, cents for education. England
comes next in the list of fool coun-
tries" She spends 81 cents per capita
for education and 1912 for maintain.
ing soldiers and implements to destroy
life.
It is proper to add that the amount
spent in all the countries for munitions
of war is raised by taxation, while most
of the money spent for educational
purposes is spent voluntarily by par
ents and guardians.
In this particular matter the United
States is more like a Republic ought to
be than any other government, but
there is a growing disposition to spend
more in this country for a standing
army and less for educational purposes.
This ought to be discouraged. We need
more and better schools, but no in
crease in soldierY.
