THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS

When the Alliance was fret organ
lied it was strictly n~on-par5isan it Is
yet, for that matter. But, to be car
did, changed conditions have made it
necessary for the membership to take
a more active part in political affairs
than they ever thought of doing The
writer was one OF the first TO join the
Order in this State and soon became
closely connected with the leaders or
officers, and knows this to be true.
Most of those who were active and
prominent in the organization have
been as true as the needle to the pole,
some were o
How did the Alliance get into pOlitics7
The party press and politicians made
the charge and continued to make 1t,
but it is only rue in part" says one.
Correct. A falsehood has been told so
persistently that it appears to be the
truth. Yet the Alliance membership
consists largely of men nor active in
politics than most farmers once were,
and it is right that they should be. The
old parties have forced them to it.
Outsiders are easily led to believe,
by party papers, that every active
worker in the Alliance is an aspirant
for Office. Human nature is the same
everywhere, among all classes. Sup
pose we grant that some of them would
like to fill places of honor and trust.
There is nothing criminal about it. But
we do know that many Alliancemen
went into the Peoples party, not for
Office, but because the two old parties
were not keeping faith with the people,
they had completely ignored the ALI
ance demands. The new party adopted
our demands. No other party has or
is likely to do so. Hence you need not
be surprised if a majority of the mem
bers vote that ticket. IL we believe in
those demands we would be untrue to
ourselves we're we to vote otherwise.
That is why the Alliance is in politics
- ~
The Charlotte Observer had by far
the best and most complete election
news the morning after the election,
and on Thursday also. No other daily
in the State, and but few outside did
as we'll. 1t was fair enough to publish
the bad as we'll as the good, and candid
enough to admit defeat. The Observer
'IgUes wrong" in it's views and allows
it's feelings to overcome it's judgment
sometimes, but when a sc )op" is to
made it gets there with all four feet.

to be given to understand that they are
only required to tell voters what names
to erase, and the coming contest IS to
be fought by the Democratic party IN
the negro counties up N the lines OF
hoodwInking and deceiVing all the
ignorant negroes possible. There,
truly, is a programme to stir the
patriots heart and rouse his fercest
energies in the cause
1t must be apparent to all that the
Virginia law was framed to permit
fraud. And after the Times has ex
posed it the Attorney General and
courts are silent. They allow the fraud
to be perpetrated. Two years ago more
than 5. 5000 voters were d isfranchise d or
cut out of their votes in various ways
under the old laws Of that State in n
Congressional district. The Peoples
party candidate was elected by a large
majority. The Times and other Demo
cratic papers of the State said he was,
and urged that he be seated, and that
the manipulators be punished. It was
not done. This new law was made and
it is no better. The will of the people
was not recorded in the recent election,
Had it been, doubtless a part of the
Democratic Congressman of that State
would have been left at home. What
a name for such a grand old State to
carry!

AN INpEPENpENT NEWSPAPER:

The reason the Democratic news
papers in this State have failed to
reach the hearts of the masses of the
people is because they are hide bound
and cast iron in their views, and allow
no latitude and liberty of opinion to
their correspondents. This newspaper
is for the reform, but it allows liberty
and latitude to it's correspondents that
the people may see every variety of
views and suggestions, trusting them,
if they have all the lights before them,
to make up a proper verdict In the
end. Here and there the views Of
some correspondents may seem tenn
porarily to hurt the interests of some
reform candidate. But this seeming
temporary ill is far more than out
weighed by the great coed In having
a newspaper in which the people.can
express their honest views and not be
throttled. Censorship Of the press and
narrowness of poll ical views are what
have ruined the Democratic party. We
do not propose to follow in their foot
steps. THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is an
independent reform paper, and while
it's editor has endorsed all reform can
didates, it's columns have been open to
a friendly criticism Of any.
The founder Of this paper, Col. Polk.
started out On this line of policy. He
made THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER an or
gan of the people and not of any
party. All Aliiancemen and all friends
Of the Alliance have found THE PRO
GREssIvE FARMER their best medium
for expressing their views.
Recently we published a letter from
a prominent independent voter, ex-
pressing his intention to vote for a
Democrat instead of our reform condi-
date for Congress. But he was so
complimentary of the reform cendi-
date and his platform and principles,
that we did not think it necessary to
make any editorial reply to it. In
fact, it appeared in the article that the
writer's reason for voting for the
Democrat, was that he had left his
platform, abandoned the party caucus,
and protested to adopt the Populistic
views on finance. The incidental
effect of this article was to strike q
blow at eight other Democratic Con
gressional candidates in the Sta 9 who
had not promised to leave the Demo
cratic machine caucus. The result
has shown that it does no harm to
turn on every variety of light. That
is why our people are 80 much better
posted than the Democrats.

The Winning TRANSLATION.

The Convention of Republican
League Clubs at Denver adopted the
following financial resolutions:
1--WE believe in the use of gold and
silver as money metals maintaied on
perfect parity and incontrovertibility.
We do not think that there will be
permanent return prosperity to our
country until the full use and highest
position of silver shall be restored, and
we favor such legislation as will bring
about this result"
The Denver News offered a reward
$25 for the best translation of the reso-
luton into plain English. Twelve
hundred competed for the prize and
sent translations to the News office.
The committee appointed to pass upon
the various translations awards the
premium to the following:
at means that its authors were too
cowardly to endorse categorical de-
mand for free coinage of silver. Like
the Damascus bla de, it can be bent
double without breaking, and twisted
like corkscrew. 1t was to cheer gold
monometallists- being susceptible of
any construction that they may desire.
Its authors evidently believed with
Tallyrand, that words are given to
conceal thoughts and not to express
them. 1t is the champion fly paper
for catching the credulons, as the dew
il quotes scripture to beguile the
unwary. 1t will illumine the banner
OF the g. o. p. in it's sun dances of '94
and '96."
"OTTo FRINCKE."
1t must be admitted that the trans
lation does no violence to the resolution
and gives better and clearer mean
ing to it than that given by the Hon.
H. f. Bart:ne on his return from the
Denver convention. This resolution
is but an echo of the sentiment of the
gold men of the East on the silver
question and favors the free coinage
Of silver about as much as the devil
does the use of holy water.

The Tariff COnfereee

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The tariff
conference appears to have reached
very nearly point at which either
an carly agreement will be reach
ed or decision to report disagree
ment.
The Senate conferees apparently
have arrived at the conclusion that
there has been already sufficient
exchange of views upon general lines,
and the time has come when the di-
rect issue must be raised.
1t is stated that a sugar schedule
has been prepared which the Senate
will accept, The schedule, it is said,
still provides for differential duty on
refined sugar and in other particulars
maintains the protective features of
the Senate schedule.
Representative Bland has intro.
duced resolution instructing the
Committee on Ways and Means to
report a bill placing all sugars on the
free list, and for raising 100000, 900
revenue by income tax. Bland saws
concerning the resolution:
VI have not consulted Mr.. Wilson
nor any one else, but have acted on
my own Judgment in submitting the
resolution. My purpose is to press it
il there is any indication that n gen.
eral tariff bill will fail"
It's understood the sugar schedule
most recently submitted to the thrift
conferees provides for duty of 40
per cert on raw sugar aud on the val.
ue Of raw sugar uesd in the mann
facture of the refined article, with the
addition on one fifth cent differential
on refined sugar.

LIGHT IN THE SOUTH,

When Governor Mckinley spoke at
New Orleans few nights ago twenty
thousand people tried to get into the hall,
but it would only hold $1,000 and the re-
mainder stood outside listening to the
thunder claps of applause with which
the sentiments of the great Protectionist
from Ohio were received. The speech
was an earnest and powerful appeal for
the true American policy and it was
evidently a revelation to most of his
hearers in Louisiana, who had been
taught all their lives to bel eve that Pro
lection was only a sharp Yankee dodge to
rob the South for the benefit of the manu-
featuring North
Probably this great meeting marks the
beginning of a revolution on Southern
opinion. Far TOO long Southern politicians
have been laboring by all means, honest
or dishonest, to destroy the value of the
principal crops raised 10y Southern plant
ers. The prostration Of the cotton manu-
facJure, by removal of protective duties,
hurts the mill hands OF Northern cities
but immeasurably more the owners of
Southern plantations. Between Fall River
and Manchester the cost of transportation
Is about the same year after year, and the
lower cotton goes, the greater the proper
tionate advantage in favor of American
mills to balance the difference in cost of
labor and capital. All the outside world
will not use more than about 100000
bales Of American cotton at the lowest
price at which it can be obtained. The
American mills with Protection consumed
about 1900, 900 bales, aud without Protec
tlon must either consume less or get it at
a lower price. The whole history Of the
cotton industry in this country turns upon
the development of the manufacture by
Protection.
The abolition Of the bounty on sugar

sugar planters, of Louisiana the difference

THERE is nothing like trying to see the

instance, is General Ben lie Fevre, the
Democratic ex.Congressman from Ohio,
indulging in the following prediction 'If

perfectly united, I believe that we shall
be able to keep the Republican majority
in Ohio down TO 100000" The careful

fidelity to the interests of the working
people during his term in the Legislature
was so clearly manifested that no one
should have the slightest doubt on that

believes that honest, watchful and indus
