EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Find time to write your experience
byouc farm paper. Both editor and
thepubIic ill be pleased and benefited.
Hire the best help that can be found
and pay it what it is worth. One good,
competent farm hand is worth two or
three inconpetents.
Paut no seed without testing it in a
box Of soil set in a warm place. 1t is
little trouble TO do this, and will often
save vexa-iou5 disappointments.
Future gambling and demonetization
mas done more to bring down the price
Of farm products that anything else.
Be sure that your support is given to
ne party most likely to restore your

DEMOCRATS SHOULD ACT.

They Must Hasten to Do Something to
Relieve the Present Situation.
ITO the Editor Of the N. Y Herald
How much more Of the money of
the country will it be necessary to re
tire from circulation to convince the
people that something must be done to
bring about a change in existing con
ditions7
According to the report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, the total circu-
latiDg medium of the United States is
81, zoo, 600, 900. This is the volume of
the nations currency. The New York
bank statement shows the deposit ac-
count of the New York banks to be
$546, 100000, while the surplus and
other accounts swell the total amount
of money on hand and practically re-
tired from circulation, as far as bust
ness in other parts Of the country is
concerned, to the stupendous sum of
nearly $3.50, 900, ,OOO-almOst half the
total money Of the country congested
in one centre, and deprived of the
leavening function it should impart to
commerce.
Add to this the millions held by the
banks of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago
and elsewhere, which, like the dead
reserve in New York is, to all intents
and purposes, out of reach of com
merce, and it will be found that of all
the money Of the country more than
two thirds-probably more than three
fourthS-of the total volume is beyond
the reach of business and practically
useless for the purpose for which it was
created.
Is it surprising, therefore, that bust
ness is in q state of suspension, that
hundreds of Thousands of workingmen
are idle, that balance sheets which
showed handsome profits year ago
now indicate drops of from fifty to one
hundred per cent. that mills and fac
tories are idle, and that depression is
widespread and uniform2 Would it
not be remarkable if any other con-
dition existedi
Now that the people are broughtface
to face with the result of the repudia-
ton of the financial plank of the Demo
cratic platform by a Democratic ad-
ministration they are awakened to
renewed activity in filing their indig-
nant protest, and even if the voice OF
their constituents does not reach the

RALEIGH. N. c.. MARCH 8. 1894.

ana the sooner the better, that enough
or our COW keepers will join together
and purchase small creamery for a
capacity of from 90 to 80 crows and
employ some skillful lady to make a
fancy, gilt edged butter that will COM
mand fancy price at hotels, fancy
grocery stores, etc. By a good amount
OF fancy butter being put on the mar
ket each week, it will become well
known to the public and will readily
sell for cash on it's merits.
The advantage of cow keepers unit
ing and receiving cash for their butter
Will stimulate them to keep nothing
but the best COWS, at least, COWS that
will pay for their board by good atten
t1on, which will surely result in bet
ter profit. The fixtures necessary for
baby creamery would be tread
power with speed regulator, ''baby"
separator, cream vat, churn, butter
worker, molds and a Babcock milk
tester, ETC., all complete, will not cost
more than 5000. In my neighborhood
there is and will be, during the sum
mer, twenty COWS within one and a
half miles and by placing a "baby"
creamery in the center it would be so
convenient for the neighborhood there
would be scarcely any time lost in de-
livering milk. Now, suppose we would
agree to make SO share in stock
company and let each man take as
many shares as he had COWS, you see
we would have just company, and a
enc COW man would have an equal
chance with a ten COW man. This
arrangement in my neighborhood of 30
COWS, counting each cow-keeper one
half day to market his butter each
week, would save four days and butter
delivered only once a week. By CO
operating, one man could deliver twice
week in refrigerator box and save
three days each week for the COW
keepers Of 30 COWS, counting man,
horse and buggy 81 per day would save
$156 in one year, almost enough to pay
for a baby" creamery, without saying
anything of the extra per cent. mer-
chants add to goods when exchanging
them for butter. would speak of the
economy in heavy feeding; the foolish
notion of scanting the poor COW in
o4tfer to get cheap milk and butter cut

ECONOMY IN FARMERS DAIRY
ING.

1t is a much-regretted fact that our
farmers, who keep a few COWS, are
compelled to lose almost time enough
in marketing their butter to balance
with the price received and leaving the
farmer without any profit, except what
is consumed at home, and often that Is
not enough to pay for the trouble. OF
course, the manure is a considerable
item. But how are we to avoid this
great loss of time when it is the only
means of getting our necessities. The
question is we are compelled to do a
thing that is Improbable. Must we
keep on in this way3 Surely not if it
can be avoided. Seeing. the fact as I
do, I believe the time will soon be here,

United States is the only country where
the telegraph is not part Of the postal
system, and if the government con
trolled here the rates could be reduced
more than one-half and the system be
seltsustaining.
The benefits to our craft by govern
mental ownership and control of the
telegraph would be great indeed, as
such control would break up the
monopoly of telegraphic newsgather-
ing and distribution that is now car
ried on by arrangements with the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
because the avenues in which the news
Is gathered are closed excepting to those
who are 80 fortunate as to be members
OF the Associated Press. This associa
ton is thus enabled to serve it's mem
bers with this class of news at rate
which places them out of reach of com
petition, owing to the favored rates
granted by the Western Union Com
pany.
You may wonder how this would
affect our craft. There are at least
thousand places in the United States
where new papers would be started if
the government owned and controlled
the telegraph. One new paper starting
In eGch city will create demand for
thousands of printers, not to speak Of
the other thousands of persons in kim
dred callings who will thus be put in
the way of permanent employment.
But through the Vaccinations of
telegraphic newsgathering association,
which enjoys monopoly in that field
at rates which no outsider can get from
the Western Union Company, large
numbers of printers in the various
cities of the Union must continue to
walk the streets, taking their chances
of getting days work now and then.
This measure has the enthusiastic in.
dorsement Of the American Federation
of Labor, the Knights OF Labor, all the
powerful trades unions, the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, and the
Industrial Legion. The National Board
of Trade and all the great commercial
organizations are also on record in its
favor.
Thousands upon thousands Of petit
tions, as well as resolutions, from all
over the country, are pouring into
Congress urging the passage of a gov
ernment telegraph bill. The legisla
ture of South Carolina, in January
last, passed a concurrent resolution
urging upon her Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress to vote for this
reform, while the Massachusetts, Ne
braska and Minnesota legislatures have
passed similar resolutions.
In conclusion, we trust that the pro
posed measure, as matter of public
policy, has your cordial approval.
Respectfully,

LETTER FROM CABARRUs.
The Boys are Still in the Ring Member
ship has Increased IS Per Cent
A Good County Meetieg.

Mr. EDITOR:-I write to let you
know that Cabarrus is still in the ring
for reform, and that to the finish. The
Alliance is on the upgrade In De-
cember we secured Bro. ]. T. B.
Hoover, Assistant State Lecturer, to
canvass the county. He filed nineteen
appointments, and preached for us
once on Sunday. l had the pleasure
of accompanying him, We met from
good to large and very attentive and
appreciative audiences, which were
treated to pure Alliance gospel in an
elegant and entertaining manner. Bro.
Hoover is the right man In the right
place, for he carries conviction and
captures his audience every time. But,
Mr.. Editor, there are some thin skinned
people who turn up their noses because,
he is minister Of the gospel. But
pray tell me is minister OF the gospel
to be denied the privilege of being a
patriot or espousing the cause of the
poor and oppressed9 If so I do not un-
derstand the spirit of Christianity.
The visible result il the county was an
increase of 25 per cent of members re-
ported at the county meeting with four
Alliances reorganized. Our county
meeting was held at Rocky River. We
had good crowd and one Of the very
best two days meetings. We think
that business was done that will tell
for good in thefuture. We had no i'm
ported speakers, but drew on home re-
sources and had some capital speeches,
and one of the finest essays by Miss
Jennie 5app, Of Mt Gilead Alliance,
that it has been our privilege to hear.
The sisters were on hand with the
usual good things to eat. The next
meeting will be held in Concord.
Mr.. Editor, allow me one word of ex-
hortation to the brethren. In the Ian
guage of our lamented leader, let
every man do his duty. The hope Of
future generations depends On us. Let
there be no Benedict Arnold among
us, but with brave hearts and willing
hands let us fight for the right though
the heavens fall.
