all Of our readers Happy New Year To
those who have gone far into the sere and

Our imports from Spain and her colonies
are more than twice our exports to them
The principal import is raw sugar, which
constitutes about three Gourths of the total,
and the United States takes nearly all Of
the Cuban product Of sugar. On the other
hand our agricultural exports to the Span
ish colonies make little more than one tenth
oil the total exports. An embargo on agri
cultural products is necessarily ruinous TO
an agricultural country, and as we take
nearly all of the agricultural product of the
Spanish colonies, while they and Spain take
a very small part of ours, an embargo by
this country would speedily reduce them
either to ruin or TO reason. IL Spain were
merely imposing high duties on all foreign
products we would have no cause for com
plant, but when Spain taxes our products
higher than those of other countries the case
is very different

one in American politics we urge that
such action be taken by the various
bimetallic leagues as will open the way
to a union of the friends of silver coin
age in their support Of a candidate for
the Presidency and candidates for Con-
gress who can be relied upon to stand
by the people in their great struggle
for financial emancipation from the
evils of the single gold standard.
z. That while we concede the right
of every citizen of the State to go as a
delegate to the so called sound money
convention, to be held in Memphis this
week, or to be represented by delegates
thereto, we at the Fame time protest
that in so doing they do not represent
the Democratic sentiment of this State.

DEcADENcE OF METROPOLITAN
WEEKLIES.

For q number of years the weekly
editions of the large city dailies have
well nigh monopolized the newspaper
field in the small towns and rural dis
tricts. These papers were far superior
to the average country and agricultural
weekly. OF course they were made up
of matter saved from the daily editions,
but it was entertaining it was fresh to
most of the readers who rarely ever see
a local daily paper. frequently much
of the matter was what is known as
sensational news, also stories, poetry.
sketches, etc. All this was quite a
treat to the reader, both in quantity
and quality.
A change has come about. The local
and agricultural weeklies have been
greatly improved. They are now IL
dlspensable, furnishing as they do, the
news, and other good reading. This is
telling on the metropolitan weeklies.
They are no longer a success. The
Chicago Herald has discontinued its
weekly edition. The New YORK deTdtG,
in many respects the best equipped
metropolitan newspaper in the world,
announces that it will not issue a
weekly in the future. Other papers
will follow.
This is a good sign. We mentioned
reasons above, but believe there IRE
others. Doubtless the people are tired
reading goldbug doctrines, for these
metropolitan papers, with a few excep-
tions, publish a great deal of such mat
ter, and they make it a point to get
their strongest and most dangerous
editorials in the weekly edition. ALI
in all we are not sorry to hear, of the
decadence of metropolitan weeklies,
especially these issued by plutocratic
papers, and see in it good omens for
reform.

admission, understand why values are
so depressed.
Carlisle's speech reminds us of an
OLD court story. Some years ago a
man was on trial in Iredell county
Superior Court for stealing and butch
ering asleep. There was but one witness
who knew much about the crime. We
Will call him John Jones. MI. Jones was
smart but he suffered badly when
talking. The counsel for the defense
undertook to put the witness through
a rigid cross examination. In true
legal style he said: "Mr. Jones, we
all know that dogs kill a great many
sheep. Is it not likely that some low,
NANCY u killed this particular sheep
we are now talking about?"
Mr.. Jones answered as follow:
I'D D Do TT 1.-THE id DIDO gs h h.
han g 'era u,up tito a IL limb an
s-s kin 'em9" That brought down the
house. The shrewd attempt to get the
witness to admit that possibly dogs
killed the sheep fell fat. The jury
knew it to be a fact that dogs never
skin sheep in that particular manner.
Most of Carlisle's points are just as
f~allacious if you will take the trouble
to investigate.

H BEST AGENT.

In the Charlotte Observer of the 10Th
we find the following editorial:
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER said, in
a recent issue, speaking of counterfeit
money: If they use silver and put the
proper amount in a dollar, let it circu
late. If we YER to find a man coin
ing silver we would not tell it on him.
Several of our contemporaries have
expressed surprise at this bold endorse
ment of a thing stamped by the laws of
God and man as a crime. We are sur
prised at their surprise. If THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER should advise men
who want money to crack safes and
get it, or to go on the highway and hold
up men who have it, such advice would
bring with it no establishment to us
and should not to any other regular
reader of that paper. It is the best
agent the devil ever had in North Caro-
lina."
This all goes to show that the O6seT-
Der is mad, very mad. We want our
readers to see just what the Observer
says about THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
and, to be sure that they do see it, we
publish it all. We are willing for our
readers to sit as a jury, and If they
render an adverse verdict, we will be
convinced that the Observer is a COM
petent critic.
Ordinarily The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
would not countenance the violation of
any law, W. bad laws. But the de-
monetizatiQn of silver was not the will
of the people. Party platforms were
against it. Congressional stump
speeches were made in favor of rather
than against silver. A few men sold
out the people, and the peoples will
should be law until they can get a
chance at the ballot-box, when they
will re enact laws authorizing silver
coinage.
We happen to know that the ObseT-
Ger is not in favor of Furnishing the
man who defends the sanctity of his
home when ruthlessly invaded by a
scoundrel. Yet there is no statutory
law justifying such a course. So far
as the law is concerned, the man who
kills another under such circumstances
is guilty of murder. But juries gen
orally render a verdict of ''justifable
homicide, " and the Observer and nearly
everybody else applauds the verdict.
This is called an ''unwritten law"
Now il murder can be made justif-
able under certain aggravating Cir
cumstances, certainly the coinage and
passing of silver dollars can be made SO
at this period. The Constitution of
the United States does not provide for
illegal coinage Or printing of money.
But it does provide for the coinage Eof
silver, gold, copper, and the stamping
Of paper money. Grover Cleveland
and his equally scoundrellys associates
in the United States and elsewhere,
have decreed that silver shall not be
coined. We assert that it should be,

THE MONUMENT UNVEILED.

The unwilling ceremonies came off
too late for our last issue, and the news
now would be rather stale. Suffice it
to say that a great crowd was present,
the largest ever assembled in North
Carolina. A beautiful monument to the
bravest of the brave was unveiled. The
speeches were excellent. Hundreds of
old veterans marched In the parade.
Virginia sent a handsome quota of
militia to aid the North Carolina troops.
The thousands came here and returned
nome safely. The crowd was so orderly
mat only one arrest occurred during
ene day, which speaks well for the
character Of the visitors.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-05-28

The sound money men me- at Mem-
phis, marched up a hill and then
marched down again.
In the language of Artemus Ward,
the editor of the Charlotte Observer is
a very "amoozin cuss."
Dead men tell no tales. That is the
reason Japan stopped killing her
Chinese neighbors. China is to pay
her two million taels for the whipping
Japan gave her.
A bridge was burned at East Hart
ford, Conn, recently, it is said by
incendiaries. It had long been an
eyesore. A local paper put a scare
head and a rooster over the account of
the fire.
The Charlotte Observer says: ''THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER is the best agent
the devil ever had in North Carolina. "
The brother is very jealous. By the
way it ought to stop the presses and
have that put in the great and only
Britannica it advertises.
'"They" now say that Carlisle is the
"brains" of the Democratic party.
Cleveland is out of a job. One enter
prising liar asserts that Carlisle has
more brains than a thousand men like
the author of Coins Financial School.
Weguess they are preserved alcohol.
The Democratic party is nothing if
not funny. 1t actually looks upon its
own funeral as a huge joke, gotten up
for the sole purpose of producing side
splitting mirth. Read what the
Executive Committee adopted in this
city last Monday night, in which
they denounce "Ehe Republican crime
of 1873" Not a word is said about
'sthe crime of 1893" Obi they are
too funny. Each member of that com
mittee is a natural born clown.
Six per cent. has long been the rate
of interest in New York. The legisIa.
ture of that State, which has just ad.
journed, in addition to the forfeiture
heretofore prescribed for charging over
per cent, has provided that when a
higher rate is charged and the debt is
secured by chattel mortgage OF other
lien, it is an indictable offence. It is a
heavy lick at those renters of sewing
machines, etc., and those building and
loan companies which masquerade as
such, but in fact are usury shops. Our
home building and loan associations
have observed the law. 1t is the foreign
associations which come in here under
protection of that name which have
been hit by the recent decision of ou1
Supreme Court.

CARLISLE AT CONVICTION.

We surrender much space this week
to Secretary Carlisles' speech made at
Covington, KY, on the goth. 1t is
nearly the same speech he made at
Memphis on the 23d.
Secretary Carlisle is one OF the finest
orators and brightest intellects this
country ever produced. Therefore we
treat our readers to probably the best
speech that has, will or can be made
on the goldbug side of the great finan
cial question. But read it carefully,
analyze it and see how weak it is. We
have in North Carolina today a thou
sand men who can follow Carlisle and
in a thirty minutes speech answer
every point he attempted to make and
make the audience wildly enthusiastic.
This is because Carlisle has the weak
side of the question.
All his rot about Jul money in
foreign countries has been answered a
million times. Foreign countries have
no more to do with out money than
they have with what we eat for dinner,
the time we eat our meals, Or the hour
that we retire at night. Of course
Rothschild is interested in our having
but little money, but we mean the gov
eminent and business people.
Carlisle's speech sounds pretty at
times, but those who know anything at
all about political economy can readily
see that it is a tissue of falsehoods from
beginning to end. Heis simply a lawyer
defending a very guilty criminal. We
know the prisoner is guilty; the evil
dence is unimpeachable, but the
shrewd counsel weaves a fabric of
defense which he hopes will make us
feel that the prisoner is not guilty.
In both his Covington and Memphis
speeches, which are alike in many par
ticulars, he makes a number of fatal
admissions. We will call attention to
but one, for it contains the meat of the
whole thing, and blasts all he says in
either speech. He said: "VdLUes IUiLl
GIoCays be measured By the kind OF
money IN actual circulation, no matter
WhGt the LGW mag declare" That is
splendid. It is a part of what we have
been contending for all the while. The
writer has not owned much money,
but has had a passing glimpse of a
good deal in the past two years. In
that time we have seen but one piece
of gold money in actual circulation, a
IS coin. We venture to say that not
one out of a hundred of our readers
have gotten sight of a gold coin in two
or more years, and not n in a thou
sand have owned q piece of such
money. Therefore, according to Car
Isle, UGLWes r now measured by sill,
yer coin and greenback, the coinage of
the former now being at a standstilI
and the printing of the latter being
very limited. Now, dear reader, you
have it from the highest goldbug
authority that our theories regarding
money are correct. In the South we
only have a per capita of about 81
cents in gold35 In the New England
States the per capita amounts to prob,
ably ten dollars, but more than 80 per
cent. of it is boarded by individuals OF
in banks. The entire per capita circu
LGtton Of gold In the United States
today will not amount to 5 cents, and
If we have a gold standard it should he
at least $40 or $50. The reader car
readily see the folly of attempting q
gold standard, and by Carlisle's own

law or no law. Ii Is as natural for men
to mine. coin and trade silver as it is
for them to eat. Divine law does not
authorize the discontinuance of the
traffic in silver, and the coinage of it
into pieces of various sizes is merely a
matter of convenience. In the olden
times. as we learn from the Scriptures.
a shekel of silver was worth so cents
and a shekel of gold was worth s. as
we reckon money nowadays. That is
where we get the Is to 1 idea. But we
have no evidence of the existence of
government money at all. The business
was done on a silver basis, however,
and it is the latter day goldbugs who
have subordinated silver to enhance
the value of gold.
But, if our ideas were entirely erron-
eous; if we are guilty of giving bad ad-
vice, what Of the Observer? It is in
favor of a single standard. It gets it's
theories from Wall street, and that
delectable crew of scoundreIs get their
ideas from England. The Observer en-
dorses the whole thing. Government
stamp amounts to nothing there. Much
of the trading in gold is done by weight
entirely. Let us illustrates: If you
are travelling in England or Germany
you must carry letters of credit. If
you r a goldbug you can draw your
cash in gold. IF not you may get Bank
of England notes. But, if you get gold,
it is weighed out to you just as any
other commodity would be-corn,
wheat, cotton or tobacco. The govern
ment stamp on that money is ignored.
That may be wrong, but the Observer
endorses anything English, you know,
bond steals and all. With a ratio of
Is to 1, and that is still a law, every
man in America has a moral and re-
ligious right to trade in silver, in any
shape, wheels, bars, square ~pieces--no
matter what the shape. The only law
violated is the imitation of the govern
ment stamp, and under present con
ditions, the government being in the
hands of a few detestable scoundrels, it
ought to be an unwritten law that silver
should be coined or used in some shape
as a medium of exchange, and a jury
that would find a man guilty Of crime,
provided he was using i proper guam,
tity of silver to the dollar, ought to be
whipped at a whipping post. But when
the people get another chance at the
ballot box the Observer and its goldbug
hackers will be buried SO deep they
will never scratch out, and then silver
will be coined according to law, and
counterfeiting will no longer be in the
least degree justifiable.

STATE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
News and Observer 21st.l

LANCWS d4O OOSC4 . ~1oGs
At a conference of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party of
North Carolina, held in Raleigh, May
goth, 1895 the following resolutions
were adopted and ordered to be pub
lished:
1st. That the Executive Committee
of the Democratic party of the State of
North Carolina, acting and speaking
for and in behalf of the party, repub-
lish, ~reiterate and emphasize the decla-
ration of the party made in the State
Convention August 8, 1894, in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1.
2. That time and pressing events have
proven the wisdom of this latest decla-
ration of the party on this all absorb
ing question, and we appeal to the
Democratic press and people of the
State to give it their loyal, open and
aggressive support.
8. That in advocating the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by the Gov
eminent of the United States we are
not asking any favors or concession
from any one, but r simply demand
ing that the great wrong done the
masses of the American people by the
Republican party in 1873 be undone,
and that silver be restored to the posi-
ton it occupied from the foundation
of our government up to the perpetra-
ton of that great Republican crime.
4. That in our judgment the imme-
date resumption of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver by the Govern
ment of the United States as it existed
prior to 1873 without waiting n mo
ment for the cooperation and without
reference to the conduct or policy of
any nation on earth is the great duty
that now confronts the American peo-
pie, and we appeal to all men of every
shade of political opinion in North
Carolina who believe as we do that the
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver means the restoration
of prosperity to our homes to join with
us in the great battle of 1896. which we
intend to wage to wipe out the Repub-
lican crime of 1873, and to secure for
our beloved old State good laws and
government.
5. That we send greetings to our
Democratic brethren of Illinois, thank
ing them for the bold, open and aggres-
sive stand they have taken in favor Of
the immediate resumption of the coin
age of silver and we send them our as
surances of our hearty sympathy and
cooperation In 1896.
s. That regarding the question of the
resumption of 1.-THE free and unlimited
coinage of silver as the ov6rshadowing
