COLONEL JOHN R. CALAMITY
HOWLER.

Col. John Robinson, our Commits
sioner of Agriculture, has moved out
on his farm a few miles from Raleigh.
Since his experiece is now more prac-
tical and less theoretical, he is about to
retreat from the brilliant stand taken
in opposition to the calamity howlers.
Heretofore he has maintained that
farmers were lazy, improvident, and
only need to raise their own supplies
and vote the Wall street ticket to be
happy. The Raleigh EUening Visitor
quotes the Commissioner as follows:
1.-THE commissioner of agriculture
says he never in his life saw such a
poor prospect for the farmers; that
everything is against them and that
the cold nights r about to destroy
the cotton"
If Secretary Aver will offer a pre-.
MUM for the loudest calamity bowler
at the next State Fair we think
the esteemed Commissioner will out
distance all competitors. We have
been a calamity bowler for several
years, but have struck one of
our class who can hold a candle to the
Commissioner since he went 'down
upon the farm"

SAM N GROVER.

Capt. Sam Ashe and Capt. Grover
Cleveland are a fine team. We put
Mr.. Ashe down first because we think
a little more.of him than we do of the
man who has wrecked more homes,
caused more misery and disaster than
any man living or dead. But perhaps
the editor of the NetCs Observer CbrOn-
icle only needs "a chance" to initiate
his double so far as their views coin
eide, and he would then make the fur
fly. Let us hope this is not true. But
read this from the NetUs-O Observer
Chronicle and then tell us what you
think:
I'VE have frequently differed with
the administration, State and Federal;
and when we have differed on matters
of moment we have always said 10 and
have given our reasons. But we do
not denounce our friends, Mr.. Cleve-
land is entitled to the most respectful
consideration. His honesty of purpose
no sensible man can question. His
great capacity is acknowledged by all
men. His patriotism is undoubted.
When forced to differ with him, we do
80 with reluctance, but still we some
times do, and then we say so, but al
ways in terms of high re .pect.

MORE MONEY IS THE GREAT
ISSUE.

You may throw it down, trample
upon it, bury it, but the money ques-
ton rises to the top and obscures every
other question of political economy.
Shrewd men are hired to write plausi
BILE stories to appease the public appe-
tite; but, like Caesar's ghost, the money
question will not down.
Panics and hard times are not new.
Human greed, ~extortion, usury and
every i'll we nov complain of have
afflicted our ancestors for ages. When
the silver and gold mines of Greece and
Spain were exhausted in the days of
Augustus, the Roman Empire had
81, 800, OOO, 900 in circulation. The rich
Senators and others saw their oppor-
tunity and seized it. They boarded
the money until only 5000, OOO, 900 was
in circulation. Prices of labor and all
products fell down, down until the
masses lost all hope, all ambition.
rich men g getting rapidly richer,
the poor poorer. At last when about
eighteen hundred men owned all the
property, the once magnificent Roman
Empire fell. But not until after more
than half the population were driven
out of the country and many thousands
had suicided, or died from privation
and disease. Other European countries
are now on the verge of dissolution
from the same causes. For thirty
years America has been on the down.
ward road, despite appearances. The
rich are getting rapidly richer and the
poor poorer. Soon our magnificent
towns and cities will begin to crumble.
Already we have three millions of
unemployed, breeders Of ignorance,
vice and crime. We have many mil
lions working and making a bare sub
sistence, laying up nothing for a rainy
day, unable to buy any home comforts
and unable to educate their children.
Worse still, we have many thousands
Of another class of unemployed who,
like the rich of the Roman Empire, are
feasting on the misfortunes, ignorance
and prejudices of their neighbors, suck
ing their life blood like leeches.
Hard times are not new to Americans.

COULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

An exchange says a farmer was ar
rested and fined the other morning for
selling adulterated milk, adulterated
with a little harmless water. He wore
at the time a suit of all wool CD clothes
badly a~duIterated with shoddy, and
boots whose soles were adulterated
with paper or wood shavings. For
breakfast he drank adulterated coffee,
his meat was spiced with a~dulterated
pepper his cakes pulled up with adul-
terated baking powder, his pickles
soured with adulterated vinegar, his
pie was seasoned with adulterated
spice, his wife was out of sorts because
she could not make good bread out of
-four that had been sold to
her for the ''best :" in fact he saw and
felt the effect of a~dulteration which
ever way he looked, and he had never
heard of any of the aduiterators being
arrested or fined.

power" Governors r in some other
States, if they are anywhere. But
wouldnt~the Observer man make a
sweet Governors He would order out
the troops and slay ten thousand peos
pie forty times a year. Every time
two citizens would get full of tulu and
collide, Governor Caldwell would be
out with his tin soldiers. He would
even allow the soldiers to wear tan
shoes and smoke Jocks coffin screws.
The Observer may as well become
reconciled to the situation. All the
States will soon have Governors who
will settle things in a common sense
way, and then the conditions and the
greed that brings about strikes will
have to take a back seat.

CAUSED BY LOW PRICES.

The United States Monetary commits
sion, composed of Republicans and
Democrats, discussing the depression
in industry in 1877 in their report to
Congress, said: 'The true and only
cause of the stagnation in industry and
commerce, now everywhere felt, is the
fact now everywhere existing, of fall
ing prices caused by a shrinking vol
ume of money. This is the great cause.
ALL others are collateral cumulative, or
really the effect of that cause"
The same condition of low prices
and industrial stagnation exists to day
in a more intensified form than in 1877,
and was brought about by the same
u The remeday is plain: Place
the admins tration of the government
under the control Of a new aggressive
party of the people free from gold bug
influences and pledged to give the pee
pie a volume of currency adequate to
the demands of trade and commerce.

STILL BLAMING THE OTHER
! FELLOWS.

The Messenger has many times ven
tilated the huge pension fraud. 1t has
given the figures from time to time, as
people forget and line upon line is the
best way to teach truth. The official
figures reveal the enormity as well as
wickedness of this wholesale robbery.
This year the people are taxed $780,
900, 900 for pensions, as much as Presi-
dent Buchanan required to carry on
the government for two entire years.

would see what rascality is practiced
by the Republican plunderers under
the guise of patriotism. The following

Let the people remember that the
election of President in 1896 may be
thrown into the House of Representa-
tives. So the Congressman elected
next fall will probably choose our
President. 1t is more important to
elect reformers to Congress than it ever
was. The contest which is to deter
mine who shall be master, the people
or the p~lutocrats, comes off in 1894 in
stead of 1895.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-06-19

business firms failed, but the farmers
did not feel the shock SO distinctly be-
cause prices had not then fallen below
the low water mark, as they now
stand. In 1878 Congress yielded to the
pressure and passed two remedial
measures. One forbade the further
retirement of g~reenbacks, the other
was the Bland silver bill, authorizing
the coinage of 50, OO0, 900 in silver each
month. Hard times began to disap-
pear. The New York clearings indexed
the growing prosperity by jumping
from $22, 500, 900, 900 in 1878 to $48, $780,
600, 900 in 1881. This prosperity did
not please the bankers and bondholders.
By united action they decreased the
national bank currency gradually from
$3.50, OOO, 900 in 1882 to about $172, 00O,-
600 in 1891. Yet, during that period,
our population had increased by immi-
grafton nearly 16, 600, 600, and we
needed more money instead of less. AS
a consequence of this contraction the
New York ~clearings have averaged
from $12, 900, 600, 900 to $14, 600, 600, 600
less per year since 1890 than for the
year 1881, when, according to increase
of population and all natural laws,
they should have been many millions
greater. These are facts known to
every well informed public man, and
we defy contradiction.
We are now in another stage of the
panic and contraction results. We
don't know what the future has in
store for us, but, judging from the past,
a sure way to form a pretty correct
idea, this government, these people,
cannot stand another era of contrac-
ton. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. At least seven tenths
of the public men, our national legisla
tors, representing the two dominant
parties, are responsible for trouble
in the past and r all anxious to hold
their places and give the wheel another

EDITORIAL NOTES.

As the crops are so clean, we guess
the farmers have refused to ''keep off
the grass"
Durham and Raleigh are now talking
back to each other through a telephone,
which connects the two cities.
The man who is a fool because he is
ignorant, is to be pittied. The man
who is a fool and is glad of it, is the
meanest fool in all fooldom.
Capt. Octavious Coke is respectfully
requested to offer a reward for his
State bank mania which escaped from
Washington a few days ago.
Bro. G. Meg. Dunn, District Organ
izer, has just reported to State Secre-
tary the reorganization of two Sub
Alliances in Brunswick and n in
Bladen.
In the past few weeks troops have
been called out in more than a dozen
States. Are we about to have a civil
re~volutionG No. We are not about to;
it is here now.
It is rumored that the Democratic
Executive Committee decided to buy
one of those new baby incubators dur
ing their meeting here last week, also
to employ a nurse.
We have it on good authority that
whenever Governor Tillman finds time
to discuss the administration at all he
always leaves off the first syllable of
the word discuss.
We are in receipt of the first number
of the SearchIight, anew reform paper
published at Louisburg, edited by Rev.
Baylus Cade. 1t is newsy and strikes
from the shoulder.
1t is hard to tell which is doing the
most harm in the country coWardly
and corrupt newspapers or cowardly
preachers. We are glad some preachers
are not cowardly, however.
We are wrestling with a question
of the gravest character, as Grover
Sherman once said. We wonder if a
Democratic Congress with "a majority
could manage to pass the time of day.
A State Democratic exchange argues
that the Populist party is a blessing in
disguise. We don't know. But if it
is, it is better than some other parties
we know of. They are a curse without
any disguise.
The ''three legged chicken" first
potatoes" and frost bitten seasons"
having ended, the State press will now
go ahead with the bear season, giving
accounts of bears chasing people and
eating horses, etc.
If your label is not dated ahead you
had better renew at once. Names are
coming off every week. We have been
both patient and lenient. You want
the paper during the next four months.
Don't put us to the trouble of taking
off your name and putting it back on.
We are happy to inform our readers
that the administration has disposed
of every plankin the Chicago platform,
by splitting them over the heads of the
men who voted for what they didn't
want because they we're afraid they
couldn't get what they wanted if they
voted for it.

of them very often no wadays, it would
be we'll to inquire how the firm Or in

]supposition being that it caused the
failure, no matter which way the per-
son or firm voted.
