FARMERS SHOULD UNI rR.

The financial structure Of this nation
is like a suspension bridge from which
the supports on n side have been u
away. The strain is all on n pillar
and the whole structure is wrenched
to it's very foundations. Some adjust
ment must take place or the result will
be ruin. No wonder crashes" are Of
frequent occurrence.
No one who has a real knowledge of
the economic principles underlying
bimetallism can doubt that at some
time in the future the relations between
gold and silver will adjust themselves
on a basis of equal tension. No other
basis but free coinage will give that
equal tension so that free coinage is
sure to come. The question is when
will it Gomez Are we going to submit
to the present depreciation and loss for
ten, twenty, thirty years longer, while
all the gold loaning countries are grow
ing rich OF u foolishly paid tribute
and the silver countries are developing
into dangerous CONNER cial rivals be
cause of their ability to supply products
to other silver using nations without
the intervention of a ~prohibitive rate
of exchanged Every year that we delay
action means a loss of over $3.50, 900 COO
to the farmers of this country alone.
There are enough Of them to prevent
this loss if they will only throw off the
shackles of old decisions and unite in
the silver cause. It would bring com
fort and happiness into thousands Of
homes which are now the abode of sor
row and distress such as comes from
the service of that hardest of masters
und deserved poverty.-Western Rural.

and spend a day with each one preach
ing his duty to him to do it, my word
for it, there will be such a rafting
among those dry Alliance bones as
will surprise you. Take hold of the
work enthusiastically yourself and
very o o you will have every man in
the Alliance enthused. Have your
Secretary to visit or drop each men,

days before your meeting, telling them
the day, hour, place of meeting anu
what special features will enliven the
occasion. Appoint men to talk on diff

Elect a Business Agent and then buy
your supplies through him, and have
him report at each meeting what the

live subject for each meeting, and urge
him to keep in close communication
with State Lecturer J. TsB. Hoover,
Elm City, N. G., SO he car advise you
as to your duty. I might continue
along this line till I filled this whole
page, Bro. Pless, but I think I have
given you some hints on what is to
be DONE" that if acted upon, and acted
upon vigorously, will make a marvellous
change in Lentz Alliance in less than

Literary
Men.
We are happy to announce to the
readers of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
that we have secured for them a lit
erary treat as a Christmas gift. After
much labor, we have been able to in
duce a popular North Carolina author
to furnish us a Christmas story, which
will appear III The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER the last week of December.
This popular author has never before
given any of his productions to the
newspapers for publication, but has
confined his stories, essays, etc, TO
book-form. In consideration Of this
fact, we congratulate ourselves and
our readers on having been so fortu-
nate in securing a story from his pen
for our Christmas number.
The title of the story will be: There
is Many a Slip Twixt the Cup and the
Lip; or, Maid, Wife and Widow on
Christmas Day"
The title gives some slight idea of
what may be expected in the story.
From the synopsis which the author
has kindly shown US, we know that the
story will be replete with love, romance,
wit, pathos, and all that goes to make
up a literary gem.
We have also secured the aid of an
artistic who will furnish several beau
tiful illutrations bearing on the story.
Those who love the Old North State
and take a pride in anything she pro
ducee, should not fail to read this story.
No where else can it be had except in
the Christmas number of THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER, and if you are not
already a subscriber send a dollar at
n C and have your name entered on
our list in time to obtain the Christmas
number.
We will give a synopsis of the story
next week. The authors name will
appear in the issue that contains the
story.

THEY ARE PLAIN
And No Man Need Mistake Them.
EVERY VOTER AND TAXPAYER is PER-
SONALLY INTERESTED.
And He Will Be Foolish Indeed.
Who Permits Tricksters to
Delude Him Away
From Them.

What are the State issues which
we hear so much aboutg'
This is the sneering inquiry of q
Republican contemporary.
A few of them are;
1. A bankrupt State Treasury,
which is not only empty, but carries
deficit of $2,0 100000, with enormous
outside deficiencies constantly aug
menting, all of which must fall in the
shape of burdensome taxation on the
people in the immediate future.
2. Large sums of the public funds
which are unaccounted for in q reason
able way.
8. The extravagant and unbusiness-
like management of the State institu-
tions, all of which show deficiencies,
some of them of enormous proper
tions.
4. The immense loss to the State at
which the Penitentiary is now being
conducted, is the direct result of Re-
publican legislation within the past
two years.
5. The terrible scandals that have
cropped out of nearly every public
institution in the State.
6. Two corrupt Legislatures, which
were the creatures and factotums of
corporations that openly purchased
almost limitless privileges in the halls
of legislation to the detriment as well
as the scandal of all honest men
Legislatures so vicious that their Of
fetal records have either been unpub-
lished, or have been buried beyond
the eyes of the people in the subter-
ranean crypts of the Capitol building
Z. The saddling of more than $780,
100000 of local bonded Indebtedness
on the State in four years.
8. The theft of the Hooking Canal,
the real value of which was 81, 500, 900,
but which was given away for $780,
900, $4,000 of which will not be paid
for a generation to come-given away
amid open charges of bribery and
corruption that the Legislature itself
dared not investigate.
9. The partisanization of the State
Judiciary, and the dragging of the
judicial ermine through the filthy
mire of politics.
10. The unrebuked action of the
Adjutant General of Ohio in writing
quasi orders on the official paper of
his department, calling on the field
and line officers of regiments to influ-
ence their commands to vote against
Democratic candidates orcivil offices.
If these are not enough issues for
our Republican friends, we will furn-
ish them few more equally perti-
nent.

EDITOR NORTHWEST
We understand petitions are being
circulated, and which are receiving
many signatures, addressed to the
board of directors of the Napoleon
Fair, asking them to debar the sell
ing OF beer and all gambling devices
from the fair grounds. And, we also
understand, that if the demands of
the petitioners are not acceded to,
there is clause engrafted in the pc
tition which is in the nature OF a
threat, or a boycot, which pledges
those signing the petition to with
draw their support from the fair.
Nobody denies the right OF petition,
but it is unquestionably unlawful to
threaten or boycot, and it looks very
much to man up tree as though
the petitioners were violating the let
ter of the statutes just as much as are
those of whom the petitioners com
plain.
In our opinion, it is lll-advised to
raise this question in the manner as
is recited in the petition. If the stat
utes are being violated, there is a
remedy through the courts, and the
violators lay themselves open to ar
rest, fine and imprisonment, whether
it is for selling intoxicating liquors
within two miles of a fair ground, or
for inaugurating a boycott.
The Napoleon Fair, which has been
a decided success since its Inaugural
ton, can ascribe success to the fact
that it has not catered to the de-
mands of any one class, but, on the
contrary, has had an eye single to
the tastes and likes of all classes.
Just as soon as you attempt to con-
duct fair in accordance to the likes
and dislikes of any class, just so sure
will the undertaking be failure.
This fact has been demonstrated
time and again. OF course there may
be exceptions, but they do not exist
in communities made up as in Henry
county. Here we find many excell-
ent citizens opposed to horse racing
at the fair, while their neighbors are
just the opposite in their belief and
think fair would be failure with
out the speeding of horses. And so
it may go through the list of all that
is usually seen upon most fair
grounds.
1t is to be hoped the citizens of
Henry county will let good enough
alone, and that they will throw no
obstacles in the way Of the future of
the fair, an institution which has be-
come almost the pride of Henry
county. There is no surer way to
Kill a fair organization than to run it
in the interest of class and to their
tastes only. SToCKHoLDER.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of he
weather the meeting was well attended and
much interest was evinced. The delegates
wsre all active, practical fair-workers and
many points of mutual interest we're dis
cussed. One point which all recognized
and regretted was that no fair claimed for
date the week beginning Sept. 18th. This
omission, lnless some fair accepts the time.
may work serious injury to the success OF
the field. 1t certainly is good time and il
is to be hoped that it may yet be claimed by
some fair in the territory.

WE have always thought Bro. Rus
sell of the Signal was about as stiff
necked a Republican as could be
found, but Bro. Thompson of the De-
tiance Express, beats him badly. The
Signal says the Defiance county Of
ficials did not do wrong because they
were Democrats, any more than the
Treasurer Of South Dakota did wrong
because he was q Republican. To
this the Express takes exceptions,
and remarks that it was q cardinal
principal of the Defiance Democrats
to do wrong, and when the South
Dakota Treasurer went wrong he was
out of his class, and should have been
training with Democrats! Thompson,
take the cake-no, take the whole

Democratic Committeeman, No
tice!


We would call the attention Of the
Democratic Committeeman in the
several townships in the county to
the fact that the Australian Ballot
Law requires that certificates of nom
ination of candidates for township
or municipal offices, to be elected in
the Spring, shall be filed with the
Deputy State Supervisors of Elec-
tion not less than fifteen days precious
to the election.
This being the law, it behooves
committeeman to Issue their caucus
calls Immediately, so that nomina-
tions may be certified up tothe Board
within the time specified by law.
We invite Democratic committee
men to send in their caucus calls for
publication. They are published free
of charge.
