The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-11-06

The campaign has ended. While it
cannot be said that it has been holly
contested, there has been stubborn and
vigorous work done by both sides.
During the past three months Alliance
work has been much neglected. Even
church affairs have not received pro-
per attention. It is all well enough to
say that you ''are not in politics !" that
you are not "bothering about EN-"
You have talked politics and have al
lowed your mind to run in that direc-
ton. The beating of the political tom
toms has attracted your attention
more OF less.
Now for Alliance work. No matter
which party is in the majority, there
is room for the Alliance, work for it to
do. 1t is said that the Alliance gave
birth to the Peoples party by educa-
ting a portion of our people in the
science of government. We make no
denial. But we do say that if the
Peoples party was in full control, had
a majority in all the legislative bodies
and the President, there would still be
room for the Alliance, for without
paternal influence the Peoples party
would soon be sowing it's wild oats.
The trouble with the two old parties is
that neither have father nor mother.
Locally there is much for the ALI
ance to do right away. The shoe fac
tory, tannery and mills must be in
operation in a short time. The stock
should all be raised by the Oath. We
are all poor, prices r low, but the
stock for these enterprises can be raised
in small amounts and the profits to the
entire membership will o replace
the original capital stock and we will
get our shoes and other articles far be-
low present prices and each will be of
better quality. Let every officer and
private, male or female, push Alliance
work atonce and with all the energy at
your command.

plcion of fraud. The voters will not
and ought not to submit to it.
A contingency never will arise when
any party can afford to be dishonest
when those who represent it can afford
to do the dirty work and commit the
political crimes that the Republicans
are charged with.
The counting out of votes because
some superserviceable election man
ager refuses to certify to the returns
is an outrage that cannot be excused
or justified. If an election manager in
some remote precinct can disfranchise
the qualified voters and change the re-
suit in an entire county, then popular
government is at an end with us. The
purity of the ballot box is such a vital
matter that the party in Georgia can
not afford to recognize or justify any
act that will even lend color to a charge
that there has been fraud in the count
ing of the votes. Such a display of
p~artisanship may result in a temporary
gain for the party, but it invites-nay,
demands-such a sweeping reaction as
will compel the party to pay a terrible
price for the temporary benefits.
For years the Democratic party has
been crying out against frauds and out
RACES committed by the Republicans.
The party's protests against the great
election.frauds of 1876 are well remem-
bered. In fact, for thirty years the
Democrats have been arraigning the
Republicans for tampering with the
ballot. For that reason we deem it our
duty to announce in the interests of the
organization in this State that the peo-
people of Georgia will not tolerate the
counting out of legal votes, no matter
in whose behalf the outrage may be
committed.
We do not know that any such at
tempt has been made. but there are
various whispers and rumors flying
about. It is reported that in first one
county then another returns have been
thrown out on purely technical grounds.
All this is serious Senough to invite
comment. The voters of the State can
not be disfranchised on technical
grounds, or because the managers of
the precincts refuse to certify to the re-
turns. Those who make the attempt
on any ground are inficting a terrible
wound on the party and preparing to
have themselves pilloried before the
public.
Ballot,box corruption is the worst
form of thievery, and there shall be
none of it in Georgia!

The Lexington Dispatch announces
that "a limited quantity of corn, pota-
toes, chickens and eggs will be taken
on subscription accounts" Then it
says: wood is always acceptable. "
If we mistake not, the Dispatch clam
ored for the repeal of the Sherman law
and for sound money" Now it makes
wood a legal tender at 100 cents to the
dollar. How the mighty have fallen /!

WHAT NEXT

The campaign is v The voting
is going on to-day. We trust we will
have good news for you next week.
We have tried to do our duty. Our
conscience is clear, whatever to days
voting may decide Now we wish to
ask our subscribers who are behind if
they do not realize that we need what
they W us. If you do not realize it.,
we wish to assure you that we do. We
have had to stint ourselves and make
debts in order to serve you. 1t may
seem a small matter to you, almost too
insignificant to claim your serious at
tention. Yet could you put yourself in
our place for three months, we do not
believe you would be inclined to ignore
or slight requests any more. We
beg you to send in your renewals. Send
them at once. We are badly in need.
We cannot ignore the debts we owe and
have made for you. We cannot think
you are going to continue to ignore us
and force us to suffer for trying to
serve you faithfully. There is a grand
work before US now. Let us all put
our shoulders to the wheel and our con-
tributions in the Alliance shoe factory.
Let US all do all we can in the future
to allay all partisan bitterness and
prejudice that may have sprung up in
our neighborhoods, and all get back
into. Alliance harness and work to
gether in love for the building up of
our State and the good of all.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The d.. o. p. liars still pirate about
returning prosperity" but it doesn't
return.
We are indebted to the Rocky Mount
Fair Association for a complimentary
ticket and invitation to attend. The
Fair opens on the 9TH and continues
three days.
When thieves fall out honest men
get their dues. The Temmany demo
cracy in New York is giving the
honest folks up there achance to come
in on the home stretch.
If the Peoples party in this State
had agreed to Cooperate with
Democrats the friendliness would have
been -reciprocated with a wboop. De
ponds on whose OK is gored.
Now they say the United States At
torney-G General has decided against
Governor Tillman, of South Carolina.
A little thing like that will not ruffle
Tillman for even a moment.
To day the farmers of the South will
record themselves as in favor of 5 cent
cotton or against it by voting for or
against it. The farmers of the West
and North will go on record for or
against 40 cent wheat.
The Graham Cleaner asks: "Are
you ready to go back to the dark days
of '68, '69 and zoo" No; not by a Jug
full. And we are not ready to go back
to the dark days of 1898 94 under Demo
cratic rule and ruin, either.
After to-day the agony will be less
agonizing. We shall see whether or
not the American people want reform
or a continuation of the present mis-
rule. We believe there will be a great
step forward and many good men
elected.
Mr.. H.. O.. Bacon, of Georgia, has
saved his hide by the skin of teeth.
For twenty five years he has been a
standing candidate for anything-and
has just been nominated for the U. s.
Senate by the Georgia Legislature.
Patience wins now and then.
Sometimes there is room for doubt,
but in the present election there is
none whatever. The Cooperative
ticket has a majority and will be
elected. If the Democratic party sue
ceeds it will be by fraud, and we don't
believe it can perpetrate enough fraud
to get in.
Now and then you will find a farmer
who is conducting a successful dairy,
truck or stockfarm. But these special
ties are exceptions. Only a few of
these farms can be made paying insti-
buttons, and ninety five of the total
number of producers are getting poorer
every year.
Professor Thomas E. Will, A. M
contributes a paper to the November
Arena on Political Corruption; it's
Methods and how to defeat it" which
will interest all who are concerned for
good citizenship and a pure ballot.
There is a growing revolt against the
rule Of the Boss, and self-respecting in
telligent American citizens will find
much that will be news to them in this
paper, written by q professor of politi
economy and a close student of Ameri-
can politics and government.

Keep a sharp lookout. If any man
is mean enough to buy a vote, steal a
vote or sell one, keep right up with
him and see that he is prosecuted. The
doors of the jails and penitentiary are
yawning for such cattle and it will
never stop until some of them are safely
landed there,

To day a great question will be set
tied. We will know whether or not a
majority of the Democrats of the State
are honest or dishonest. If any con,
siderable number of ballots are thrown
out, miscounted or bought, the Demo
cratic party will have taken the last
long stride toward destrucion-self-
inflicted destruction. The public will
no longer have any confidence in it.

Riley Walker, the negro who murdered
Detective Will Wallace near Union

negro admits his guilt. He will be held

Wallace, the murdered man, was a

abiding citizen.

tlOnb Az second GLASS Matter.
WASHINGTON, April 6-After some
unimportant proceedings tho House. in
committee OF the whole, resumed con
sideration OF the postoflice appropriation
bill.
Springer presented modification of
the amendment he offered yesterday
directing the admission of certain
classes OF publications to the mails as
second class matter, so as to include the
publications of trades unions and OF
scientific and professional societies.
In tt course of the discussion Cannon
(Rep, Ills }, stated that the law regu.
latirg tho admission of papers TO the
mails was passed in the Forty third
Congress, whom he was chairman of the
su ommittee of the committee on post
oflices and postroads having it in charge,
and it had never occurred TO the mem
bers of that committee, nor had been
suggested in the course of discussion
that papers Of tho class described in the
amendment should not be admitted 10
tho mails as second class matter.
In announcing his ruling upon the
point or order, Mr. Hatch, chairman,
stated that the construction of a statute
made by the head of the executive de-
pertment charged with its exc cution
had the same authority and effect as
tho construction made by q court Of
competent jurisdiction and became Il
part Of that law until it was repealed,
modified or declared by the only power
that has tho right to override the con
struction OF an executive officer, the
Congress of the United States. The
amendment, the chair said, in his
opinion, was merely declaratory of a
statute already on the books, and the
point of order was overruled. The de-
cision was received with applause.
Henderson sent to the desk and had
read a statement from the Postofiice
Department showing thai last year
there were transmitted through the
mails 255, 634,213 pounds of second class
mail matter at a loss to tho department
as compared with the receipts from
transmission of other classes of publica.
tions, of Sl7,S9 40. and at an absolute
cost OF over Sic, 1000 900.

The tariff bill was then, at . D. m,
taken up and PETER addressed the
Senate. He thought 1T fortunate that in
considering that great measure he was
not hampered by any considerations of
a party nature. The central idea of
Populism was justice TO tho people,
founded on the expression OF Thomas
Jefferson. He was afraid that the bill
before the Senate was not q bill to re-
ducn taxation, but q bill to increase
taxation If it were a bill to reduce
taxation he would be glad to give mis-
vote for 1t.
PETER spoke of "the srmy of tho
commonweal" as II moving body of men,
gathering strength az it moves, like an
avalanche, coming towards tho capital
OF tho nation; it might be objectless,
loosely and wildly, but still showing
that there was trouble brewing" And
that trouble with was brewing came,
he said, from unjust taxation. The
Senate had before it q bill to reduce
taxation and he hoped that Senators
would go along day by day concurring
with ono another in an earnest desire
that in The end some legislation would
be given to the people that would in
fact reduce taxation, or that would at
least not add anything to their burden.
After Petfor had spoken for two hours,
it was agreed that he might continue
his speech to morrow, and Harris sug

bill in full should be commenced. A
