The farmers of York county are at a
high pitch of excitement over a scheme

been doing business in New York. Dur

H FRAUD

One of the most careful accountants
in this city sends the following to the
Post which shows conclusively that
the bonds are really drawing more in
terest than the Secretary of the Treas
ury would have the people believe:
Editor POst:-The statements so
ing the rounds of the press that the
rate of interest on the $50 600. 600 of
bonds is practically reduced to 2 70. in
consequence of the paym of So, 1000,
600 premium by the syndicate, is
simply ridiculous, as the following
figures make manifest:
So 600. 200 /: SO. OOO, 900 ::5:x.
Multiplying the second and third
terms together, and dividing by the
first, and we have the Quotient 4 S19,
as the rate Of interest the people will
pay for ten years on the $50, 600, 600.
Now, if this is the idea put forth by
the syndicate, that they are lending
money to the government at 2 70 per
cent the question can be very easily
settled by offering them 50 70 per an
mum on each 800 of the S5S 600 900,
and Thea sum total of~interest would
then amounFto only 81 800. 600 Where
as, on the $5S 600. 600 at 5 per cent, they
will receive 50 SOC, 900. And as l have
shown ab~ve, that the bondholders
will really receive interest on the $58.-
600, 600 at the rate of 4,319 per cent,
n sum of the interest Co be paid them
Will be the same mount of two and
one-half millions.

Hon. w. II. WORTH, DEAR SIR:
Since their escape from the bloody
field of Collodin, in 174O, my paternal
ancestors have cultivated the soil and
tended their .focks on the hills and
dales of Western Cumberland. Each
succeeding fall and winter the wisp of
the cards, the hum of the spinning.
wheel and the bang of the loom denoted
the fact that the def hands of our love
~ grandmothers were manufacturing
the soft clippings from the highly
priced sheep into Ithe gray jeans with
which to apparel their noble lords, that
they might go forth with pride to mar
ket, to muster, and to preaching. And
every two years these good men have
kissed their lovely danes and gone
forth to meet their Scotch neighbors
and kinsmen to talk over the current
topics of the day, often in gaelic to
keep in memory fresh, the mother
tongue, and under all circumstances to
vote the Democratic ticket. One by
n these good men, with untarnished
NAME, and ripe old age, have gone to
the country churchyard to rest in the
last sleep, firmly believing that when
Gabriel should blew his trump, that
their daughters would be found at the
spinning-wheel and loom, their SONS
wearing the loom made gray, at the
pillow, with their names recorded on
the books of the Presbyterian church,
aud the Democratic party. But a
change has come. Scattered among
the PresbYterians, in this section, may
be found Furnishing congregations of
Baptists, Methodists and Episcop 4lians
with many OF the Scotch nam IS en-
rolled among them. And though many
are clothed with wool clipped from
their own flock of sheep, the manufac
turing into cloth has been done by
someof the many wooden mills. Among
this class your correspondent is dressed
in bv far the softest and prettiest and
cheapest suit in this section. While
others have been gouged and imposed
upon by agents, incompetents and the
like. he has sent his wool according
to your instructions aud is now nroud
and happy over the result. Nv SAVING
on wire fencing alone will paw Alliance

make the transactions in real cotton of
secondary Importance. They have
succeeded in suspending the laws of
supply and demand. The purchase and
sale of hundreds of millions of bales of
imaginary cotton tend to fix the price
of the 5000, 600 or 1000, 900 bales of
actual cotton as a mere incident and
the result is a tremendous disadvan
tage to the men who actually produce
the cotton.
by proper organization the pro-
ducers Of cotton can, to an extent, put
a stop to speculation, restore the opera
ton of laws of supply and demand and
themselves realize most of the rich
profits that r sucked out of the raw
material On it's way to the manufacture
ers. And the problem of organization
is not so difficult as those who have
not considered it might suppose.
Throughout the South there are already
enough warehouses to store the entire
crop. These warehouses were built
with profits made out Of cotton and are
sustained by such profits There are
six times as many local buyers as are
necessary to handle the crop and all
get fairly good incomes. AS a result
of thorough organization we can scoop
in all the private warehouses for Ger
t~ifcates of stock and also dispense with
five sixths of the local buyers. This
will enable us to use the warehouses on
the basis of a fair rate of interest and
to save to farmers the amount now paid
to the support fof superfuous local
buyers.

market only as it is needed, and If
necessary hold back one fourth or one
fifth of the crop altogether. In case
the mills should try to freeze us out
there would be a constantly increasing
demand for cotton goods which would
advance the price. The price of cotton
would follow. Cotton is always good
security and when stored in u ware
houses, we could borrow for its owners
enough money TO enable them to keep
going until the mills would be willing
TO pay the price asked. Even if we
should receive no benefits from any
other source, we would certainly expe-
rience a rise in price on o of the
elimination of the local buyers and the
thousands of other m~iddlemen, and the
rise in price would more than pay all
the expenses of OrganlZ alton.

States and with one accord they prom

This county has a population of 35 600
and produces annually 10000 bales of
cotton. The cotton producers have
simply gone wild over Roddy scheme.
They are holding meetings in every
township and have elected delegates to

HALIFAX COUNTY MEETING.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The members of the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union of Halifax
county are hereby reminded that the
second Thursday in January is the day
for the regular meeting at Halifax. A
punctual attendance requested. Surely
recent developments have proved those
reform measures so earnestly advo
Gated and urged by such citizens as
Gov. Carr, Hon. 8. B. Alexander and
others, not to be less necessary for the
public veal, than when four years ago
they appointed q committee, with the
late lamented l.. L. Polk as Chairman,
tx lay before Congress a statment of
some of the ~hindrances and grievances
by which the wealth producers were
beset, with a petition for their removal.
When he cited the depreciation in
the value of real estate, to say nothing
of the fall in prices of farm products;
when he pointed out the fact that the
small farms we're passing from the
hands of their owners into the clutches
of the money lenders, too glad to avail
themselves, through the low prices of
produce, Of the opportunity of adding
acre to acre and tenant to tenant.
Oneof the classes there are those who
are so we'll satisfied with the present
financial condition of the country, and
who aver that a dollar will buy more
than ever before, but are silent1as to the
fact that it will pay neNmore taxes or
debts, and that it costs many times more
to get it. When he pointed out the evils
of irresponsible corporate power, sub
sidizing the press, ETC., and if such was
the state of the case four years ago is it
not aggravated a hundred per cent. to
day3
Let us pe~rpetuate u opposition to
these wrongs, as we urged to do
by these wise and good men four years
ago; some living, some dead. Let us
pursue the even tenor of our way, and
shun alike the counsels of the cormo-
rants of Wall street and their dupes
and hlrllngs at the South, and the
snares Of that other party who teach
that as regards our circulating ms dium
we should be guided by the dictates of
European powers, and seem to teach
that in State government, as to the
eastern counties, at least. We must
subject ourselves to the danger of
negro rule. And surely, from present
appearances, at least, we have no u
to fear, but that eventually our prin
ciples will prevail, since the party
whose platform approaches mostnearly
to u demands has strengthened from
1000. 900 in 1892, to 1900. 900 votes, as
shown by the last election.

Several owners OF trottipg and

dissatisfaction over the proposed
program for the June races. They
want a 3 minute class in which for
eign-bred horses will he eligible. II
is also argued that the 2:4O class
should be abolished aud a 2:30 class
substituted, Is there are several
horses in the country too fast for
the 2:i0 class, that would have to b.
catered in the free. for all, in which
they would be outclassed. Horses
with a record better than 2:30 would
then bs entered in the free for-all.
There are at least four horses that
could compete in the last race. This
proposition, it is considered, would
give oil owners a fair show for their
money. 1t will be brought up and
discussed at the next meeting OF the
Jockey Club.
