AGAINST THE ANT1-oPTIoN BILL

Latham, Alexander & Co., Bankers
and Cotton Brokers, New York, are
out in another TRADE against the anti
option bill. They give us to under
stand that the farmers would be ruined
if such a bill were passed. There is
Just a little difference between the
views given out by Latham, Alexander
& Co., and the same held by us. We
claim that the farmers will be ruined
unless an effective anti option bill is
passed. The option dealers are not en
tirely responsible for the low price of
farm products, but they are a part and
parcel of the goldbug crew and must
share a portion of the blame.
Latham, Alexander & Go. claim that
there would be no markets but for the
option dealers; that prices would fuc,
tuate immensely and all sorts of calam-
tiles befall us. We admit that there
would be fluctuations, but that is what
we want. Then prices would be gov,
erned by supply and demand. If we
make an immense crop of cotton we
naturally expect lower prices and can
afford lower prices. If we make a
small crop we expect and need higher
prices. That will hold good in every
thing.
The firm mentioned admit that 49,.
314, 900 bales of fictitious cotton we're
sold in the New York Cotton Exchange
in three months during the fall of 1892
and claim that cotton went up over
two cents per pound during that
period. We all remember the rise. 1t
was just after the election. We know
what the rice was for, also, and know
how low it was before the election and
how low it went in two weeks after

THEY WERE NOT ALL1ANCEMEN

Certain newspapers are circulating
an absurd story or stories to the effect
that the mission of Mr.. S. Ohio Wilson
throughout the State has been a politi-
cal me They cite as a reason that at
one or two places a Democratic mem,
Der of the Alliance was refused admit
lance into the meetings. Probably
they were, but if so, they did not have
the semi annual pass, word of the ALI
ance or were known to be in bad stand,
ing from some other cause. Some peo-
pie have an idea that an Alliance bust
ness meeting ought to be open to every
body. The system of selling eggs and
other products has cost the State Bust
ness Agency both time and money to
perfect and it would be folly to give the
general public private business infor-
nation.
Whoever says Bro. Wilson was on a
political mission or for any business
other than the legitimate business con-
nected with the State Agency, is a
plain, awkward, everyday liar.

H WILD

Once upon a time there lived a man
who hired an Irishman right from 1.-THE
sod" to do the chores about the barn,
such as feeding the pigs, COW, horse
and cutting the wood, etc Among
other instructions, he was told to shell
the corn for the horse, but to feed the
COW her corn in the ear. In the even
ing when the gentleman returned from
his off, he noticed Pat, with an ear
of corn in his hand, chasing the COW
around the lot, and both the cow and
Pat looked as though the exercise had
been kept up for some time. Stepping
down the walk to the paling that sep
arated the dooryard from the barnlot,
he asked the meaning of the unusual
procedure.
"Sure," said Pat, as soon as he could
get breath enough to speak, "yez told
me to shill the chorn fer the horse, but
to fade the COW her corren in the ear;
an sure the chontrary bast kapes
wanten Nv it in her mouth
The politicians and political organs
know better, but they have been doing
the same way for some years. They
stuff our ears full of promises (corn)
and we are wanting the corn in our
mouths all the time.

CARLISLE WILL SELL BONDS.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald writes the fol
lowing to that paper:
''The statement is made by one of
the most prominent men in public life
that President Cleveland will veto the
Bland Seigniorage bill if it passes the
Senate. The gentleman talked with
the President yesterday regarding the
matter, and the reason given is that
the bill would be destructive of the re-
pose which now surrounds the financial
system Of the country and, further,
that it would tend to weaken our c. edit
abroad.
Secretary Carlisle is known to be
unfavorable to the bill and he is under
stood to have represented to the Presi,
dent that the money that would result
from the coinage Of the seigniorage is
not needed and that it is his intention
to sell whatever bonds may be neces-
sary to supply the deficiencies in the
national treasury, and this without any
regard to the contention raised that
this money ought only to be used in
compliance with the terms of the re-
sumption act"
So that double distilled bundle of in
consistency and corruption, Secretary
Carlisle, does not need the money, but
will sell bonds in preference to issuing
the little pocket change the Bland bill
offers him. He has jumped from a free
coinage advocate to as mean goldbug
as all the forces of Hades could con
struct in a century. Both Cleveland
and Carlisle should be impeached.
That would be mild punishment when
we consider the enormity of their
crimes.

the rise. No, we won't be deceived by
any such poppycock.
In 1891 "a, 983, 800 bales of cotton
more than four times the actual crop
were sold on the New York and New
Orleans Exchanges. And yet Latham,
Alexander & Go. tell us that the farm
ers were benefited by this immense
fraudulent transactionl
We all know that future dealing in
cotton, grain, meat coffee and other
things has made more millionaires
than any other industry, if we may
call it an industry. At the same time
it has ruined many men. These mil
lionaires did not touch nor see a bale
of the cotton nor a bushel of the grain.
How could it benefit the farmers7 1t
is simply a lie. Aside from the inan-
ciaL loss to millions of people, it oughtto
be suppressed because it is a species of
gambling, and is very tempting. There
are dozens of reasons why it ought to
be stamped out, and mot n why it
ought to continue. But, like financial
and other reforms, it will never come
until the people vote for home and
country instead of Wall street and
Wall street hoodlums, sometimes
ca1lod statesman.

expected to learn that he would coun-
tenance such a deceptive expedient in
politics. 1t is bad enough to stick to a
party through thick and thin when
said party, through it's most inf 1ential
leaders, is doing everything that is bad
and nothing that is good. To try to
reform an organization, beginning the
work at home, is commendable; but If
we understand this confidence game
now on foot, no good can come out of
it. The sole object is to ''get there, :"
and when that is done ''our" members
of Congress will fall down and worship
Grover and the golden image just as
most of those elected in 1892 have
done.

intimation of the scheme. We knew

BRUTAL ATTACKS" AND WHY

The Charlotte Observer of the 18th
reproduces the following editorial
brief from our columns:
1.-THE Alliance is improving. Recent
falsehOods started on the rounds by
the ~plutocratic organs and the brutal
attacks on certain Alliancemen is but
a fOrerunner of what you may expect.
Plutocracy is alarmed again and moth
ing is too low for carrying out the
schemes"
The Observer says:
''The foregoing paragraph is from
The PROGRESSIVE FARMEROf this week,
and the reference to brutal attacks
on certain Advancement" we under
stand perfectly we'll to be to some re-
marks which the Observer recently
addressed to Marion Butler. The editor
Of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER has
noticed for months the offensive, inso-
lent and insulting language which
Buffers Caucasian has from week to
week INDUCED in toward the editor of
the Observer, and we call on the editor
of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER to saw, as
an honest man, as he is, if he could
have retained his respect for this paper
and it's editor if they had much longer
remained silent under the constant
stream of menacity and vituperation
to which they have been subjected
from the quarter indicated. The en-
ployment of harsh language is not to
the taste of this paper, and none ex
cept those who compel & resort to it
are ever the recipients of it. When,
hereafter, THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
feels that it wants to criticise brutal
attacks" emanating from this source,
it should look back to the false and
scurrllous personal statements from
which they derived their animus, and
pass It's Judgment only after having
weighed the equities of the case"
We confess that we had read the
Observers remarks directed to Presi-
dent Butler, but when writing the
paragraph quoted we don't remember
that we had anything the Observer
may have published in mind. We get
all the State papers and some from
nearly every State. For some time
papers in and out of the State have
contained slurs and bitter assaults. If
the Observer had been the only one we
would have called it by name, but, as
it was, we just gave all a broadside.
The Observer was in bad company,
that is all.
Speaking of the little exchange of
compliment between the Observer and
Caucasian, we hardly feel able to give
Journalistic advice, but will say that
we think it always better to use the
name of the paper instead of the editor,
ever though the discussion is entirely
friendly. But many newspapers make
such Mistakes without intending any
discourtesy.

The resolution introduced by Senator
PETER, calling for an investigation of
the charges that certain Senators have
been dealing in Sugar Trust stock, has
been indefinitely tabled, and who do
you suppose led the fight to get it
tabled? Senator German, of Maryland.
The Raleigh Chamber Of Commerce
is favorable to city ownership Of a
telephone exchange and street a sys-
tenn. Good gracious! that will never
do. That is "paternal." Anarchists,
Communists" and other dreadful peo-
pie talk about such things, but it won't
do for a great Chamber of Commerce,
composed of the Finest" to think about
anything so awful.
Some of the tobacco men in Winston
and Durham are as mad as blazes be-
cause Senator Ransom didn't notice
certain letters and kilograms sent him
in reference to the tax OF tobacco.
They say Senator Vance is in Florida
for his health, and they think Ransom
ought to look out for his constituents.
Well, Senator Ransom is in Washing
ton for his health, and what are you
going to do about it?
Congress has resolved itself into a
Chamber Of Commerce and is discuss
ing the various street car lines in
Washington City. In the meantime
the Raleigh Chamber Of Commerce is
moving along and will have the electric

gross can "holler Jack Robinson"
Congress ought to give some attention
to Contentnea Greek, N. O., and let the
motermen run the street cars.
The New York Times of the 18th con-
tanned more than a page of matter ex-
posing Senator Murphy, of that State,
who is now in the U. s. Senate. The
Times tells some hard tales on "Boss"
Murphy, who seems to be another
McKane. Strange that the Democratic
paper didn't say anything against
Democratic "Boss" Murphy before he
secured his Senatorial credentials.
Democratic politicians are always
saints before they get in Office and
devils after they get in, and so desig-
mated by their leading organs. Power
full strange.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels takes issue with
the Charlotte Observer and other pa
pers as to the advisability of cutting
the State Democratic party loose from
the national end of the party. He
contends in his paper, the North Caro-
HniGn, that it can't be done successful
"; that the national administration
has more than fulfilled it's promises;
that to secede would be suicidal. We
expect he is right in taking a stand
against secession, but we don't know
where he gets the data to base the other
assertions on. The national end Of the
party has act done anything com
mendabla.

ZOE DANIELS IN DEFENSE OF
THE FUSION.

The editorial correspondence of the
North CarOIini0n, p~urporting to have
been written by Josephus Daniels, but
probably voicing the sentiment of the
machine at Washington City, of which
Daniels is the mouthpiece, defends the
fusion between the National Demo
cratic and Republican parties, and
makes an extraordinary effort to
prevent the anti-machine wing of
the Democratic party in this State
from effecting a secession from Wall
street and the Cleveland Sherman com
bination. With his customary eel like
s~lipperyness, Josephus lodges the main
question. He affects to believe that
the only salvation of Democratic prin-
ciples is the maintenance of the ALI
ance now existing under the name of
the Demo cratic party between the
creditor class in New York and the
machine politicians in North Carolina.
Josephus assisted in greasing the
Chicago platform so that it went down,
horns and all, into the stomachs of
many good people in North Carolina.
But he will hardly be able to put
enough of his oily saliva upon tie
Cleveland Sherman combination ma
chine to make that go down. AS
Josephus processes to see nothing but
good in the Chicago platform, it is
natural that he should profess to see
nothing but good in those who use the
fraud and duplicity of that platform
to wreck the finances of this country.
