NOT WILLING TO RECONSIDER

The Charlotte Observer of the 14th
said:
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is entire
~ undone on account Of the PROPOSE
ton to make the campaign in North
Carolina this year primarily on North
Carolina men and measures, with spe-
cial reference to keeping the State in
the hands of the Democrats, who have
administered it's affairs unexception-
ably for twenty years."
Then follows a portion of an editorial
from THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER of the
18th, the last two sentences being:
"Diabolical is not strong enough to
characterize such political depravity.
Surely the Observer will reconsider the
proposition"
The Observer then says:
1--WE had not recognized, until The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER pointed it out,
the full extent Of the iniquity which
we have modestly suggested, but even
now we can't agree to reconsider that
proposition" We have gone so far in
this course of crime hat retreat is out
of the question.
In all seriousness we direct the at
tention of u party friends to the
squeal of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER in
proof of the fact that the plan of cam
paign outlined by the Observer is the
winning one. The drivel about gold
bugery and the imputafion that we
mean more than have said, it is not
worth while to pay any attention to-"
We are sorry that the Observer will
not agree to reconsider. Senator m
gals said honesty in politics is an
irredescent dream" but we cannot
agree with the noted Kansas politician.
Knowing the editor of the Observer
quite well and believing him honest IN
personal and private affairs, we hardly

needs protecting in every line of our in
dustries. When our financial system is
taken out of private hands and the trade
i'll money is abolished by the government
furnishing a sufficient quantity of money
to transact the ever increasing volume of
business and supply the constantly in
creasing population, and enables the
industry of the country to have the use of
money at bare cost of the clerical force
necessary to its proper and efficient hand
ling, which must be through government
banks, then every tariff law may or
might be repealed, and our enterprising
people pitted against the world will lead
the world. With free money to keep free
men employed our manufacturers could
outstrip every nation on earth, aud the
inconceivable undeveloped resources
which now lie dormant i'll this country
would be developed i'll such fabulous
quantities as no nation or people had
ever experienced or even dreamed of.
Every pound of food our farmers could
produce would be consumed by our own
people. American vessels would sail
every sea, carrying our products to the
remotest corners of the earth.
The protection our manufacturers and
people want is money in sufficient guam
tity to float the business that would grow
under its stimulating influence as a trop-
ical plant, and the protection Of that
money from the greedy hands of the
usurer. Protection from the usurer is the
only protection our manufacturers need to
enable them to defy the world In five
years our debts would be wiped out and
Great Britain with her Jewish vampires
would drop back as a second power when
her $500, ooo 900 annual profits and inter
est ceased flowing from our borders
Give us money protective policy, and
tariff protection, like physic, might be
thrown to the dogs.

Whistling to Keep Their Courage Up.

The New York FiNaRciey is one of the
organs of the gold ring. 1t was formerly
an able advocate of silver but the gold
monopoly has brought the paper under
the most docile subsection. In the issue
of September 24th the recent Address of
Comptroller of the Treasury Eckels, is
lauded to the sky. Mr.. Eckels' utterances
before banking associations do not fool
anybody who is capable of measuring
and properly sizing up the financial lore
he is placating the national bankers with.
Like all of his predecessors he is shaping
his course for national bank presidency
when he steps down from his present
position in the department of the National
Treasury.
After giving Mr.. Eckels this generous
need of praise as true disciple of the
national bank party, the following bit of
whistling to keep their spirits up is
INDUCED in:
'"The national system in comparison
with all others gains in popular favor
every day. 1t is so firmly fixed as a part of
our financial life that attempts to inter
fere with it. or curtail its privileges,
will meet with violent opposition from
the thinking public in every walk of
business"
In place of this being the fact the pop
ular opposition to the system is growing
every day, and there never was such a
formidable and we'll organized opposition
to it as there is to-day, fact the Fl0an-
c7er must certainly be cognizant of if it is
keeping abreast of public opinion. The
writer continues to whistle in this bold
manner
"On the other hand il (tbe national
banking SYSTEM is i'll fair way to acquire
new responsibilities and powers by the
gift of the people, who see in it our best
safeguard against financial disturbances
and probable losses -
And this i'll the face of the bank panic
last year, requires an unprecedented stock
ofgall to tell an indignant public. But
where among the people or among men,
bers of congress does the FIRaRciey find
warrant for such statement? Absolutely
nowhere. There does not exist single
scintilla of such sentiment among the
people. In juxtaposition to the above
loud whistling TO keep the courage of the
banks up. we find the following paragraph
in another article of the same issue
I'm view of the woful ignorance of the
real laws of economics displayed in party
utterances there is grave reason to believe
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1894-09-28

that systematic assault on the stability
of our currency system is to be attempted
again.
This does not compare well with the
bold utterances above quoted. 1t is not
"woful ignorance" the money ring fears,
which the Ffaancier speaks for, but the
study which is being made of economic
subjects and especially the science OF
finance, by the producing class who have
been the fat geese SO long plucked by the
select silk hat fraternity, that is their
nightmare.

The Farmers Club.

At the Cecil Farmers Club meeting
held at Mr.. John P. Wilson's last week,
there was not quorum present and the
meeting was informal. Mr.. Henry T.
Patterson, Chemist of Maryland Agricul-
tural College, was present and made an
address in the course of which he said
"After all, the question for the farmer, is
to determine what his land is deficient in,
which can be found out most readily by
experiments. Farmers are doubtless
buying and paying freight on a lot OF
stuff that is no manner Of use to them -
Analysis of the soil is of little account,
and is practiced by agriculturalists merely
as a possible aid i'll their work, and the
information derived from it would scarcely
be missed if entirely abandoned. In
Liebeg's time analysis of the soil was
believed to be all that was required but it
was soon discovered that the soil might
contain sufficient amount of some con
stituents to supply the crop and yet soil
analysis would not show trace The
actual experiment with the crop was
found to be the only method which
could be depended upon for information
in growing crops. Hence the Experiment
Station. 1t is greatly to be feared that
farmers, while they remain in their
present status, will not get clear of "buy-
ing and paying freight OH a lot of stuff
that is no manner of use to them" The
typical farmer is so independent that he
doesn't know that he is the most debeN-
dent and best abused man in the indus
trial class. He Is altogether too smart
in his own conceit) to ever find it out

Before Tom Kiuslow left Washington

An Anomaly Of Rrltl,h PoII,Ic..

The stanchest adherents OF the House
OF Lords are the lower classes through
out England, an anomaly the American
finds difficult 10 comprehend. One res-
son for this curious strength lies in the
public house or saloon. All the faddsts
temperance, local option and the like
find : welcome in the Liberal ranks,
so the saloonkeeper, for very safety, IS
forced into Tory affiliations. His views
find q reflex in his customers, with the

miration for the House Of Lords.-Ne'p

uad not gone on more than half block
before an Old lady in a Paisley shawl
and an old-fashioued bonnet stopped
him; and the boy could be seen point
ing and talking, evidently giving her
full directions about the way to some
point that she wished TO reach.
Long before this occurrence the
Listener had noticed that when wo-
man wishes TO inquire her way she ap-
plies more readily for information to
a man than she does to one Of her own
