CO-OPERATE ON PRINCIPLE
ONLY.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Ell PASO, N. Q.
There r men in the PJpullsG party
who think tina the Democratic party
must be beaten this year, even If 1t re
quires a sacrifice of fundamental prIn-
cIples. such men advocate CO opera
ton wi h the republican party upon
the electoral ticKet, and seem to think
those who Oppos5 this are trying to
lead the PopuiIs, forces int the DINO
cratic party.
Now 1 am a PopuIist, and q Cc-opera-
zionist upon principles as a basis; but
not other wise. Having been educated
to be d POpulist by the Farmers ALI
Rnce, l caunoJ see how we can support
an electoral ticket One-haif of which
could or would vote for a goldoug
President. The Alliance has always
maintained hat the financial question
was the paramount Issue IN American
politics, and the masses are now con-
WINGED that we are right, and we don't
think there Is an honest, intelligent
man in North Carolina to day who be
lieves we will ever get any legislation
in favor of free coinage through either
of the old parties. 1t therefore behooves
US as Alilancemen, and as PopulistI,
who have enGorstd the Alliance de-
mands, to be cautious, and either enter
into no enCanglIng alliances with either
of the old parties, but stand firmly by
principles and continue to agitate
and educate in the true sense of pOliti-
cal economy I'm il we shall have broken
down the barriers of former political
~prejudices, and when this is done the
people will flock to us and aid us IN
securing every reform necessary for
the prosperity Of our country and the
happiness of her citizens.
Brethren, let us be true to the ALI
ance and strive &c build up and repair
the breaches made by past partisan
p%rejudIces, so that we will be a unit
whenever any political party threatens
to forsake or compromise our cherished
principles
l cannot close this communication
without thanking you, Mr., Editor, for
the able and efficient management of
the Alliance ryan.
Yours truly,
W. W. DREW.

H SADDLE HORSE

It was Montague, / believe, who said,
"AIl of mans best thoughts come to
him on horseback" The late Carter
Harrison, Of Columbian City fame, it
is said, solved all Of the most intricate
and perpIexing probe ms of his cele
brated administrations while seated on
the back of his favorIte saddler. There
is no question that a good saddle will
always be more popular than all of the
inanimate riding machines that Amer
lean ingenuity can invent. AS the
Registers horseback man aptly puts 1t:
''They who ride horses are the true
~aristocracy of pleasure; compared
with them, they who ride in coaches
are only the slaves of formality, and
they who ride on wheels are only the
slaves Of Gne instinct of IOcomotiOn.
1t is truly a genuine pleasure and un.
surpassed exercise to mount a good
saddle for an hours recreation. Ii
isn't any wonder hat Garter Harrison
was character I'd by e ar-Eeaded
iudgmenG, and that K3ntukey ladies
are noted for their great beauty, when
we remember their fOndnesS for the
saddle morse. Not all horses that are
ridden, however, are genuine s ddieEs
Only a very small percentage Of them
are lit TO b. called sRddlers This ls
not because they are difficult to breed,
but because their breeding has ben
reelected. kentucky, Missouri ana
Tennessee furnish Chicago and NV
York With practically all the gated
saddlers on the market. There are
scarcely any bred in Iowa or the other
agricultural States, and yet there is no
class Of horses on tt e market that com
mands higher average prices than first
class saduleEs. They out sell draft
horses. More training is required to
reach the highest prIcts, but Uney pay
well for the training. II the horse Is
to retain puOIIc favor in the fullest
measure, the saddle horse must not be
neglected. Every farm should have a
good saddIer, and it may be a COM
bined saddler and driver. There Is
good money in growing this class OF
horses.-Rural Life.

CARE OF HORSES.

Those who are working shod horses
should look well to their horses feet on
going into the stable at night, tina
their feet are cleaned from balls on cold
nights. If allowed to stand over night
feet, as the bottom of the horses foot Is
very INN aud liable to frosting. Such
Is often the cas with careless horse
owners, and IL the spring the horse Is
a cripple, aud the poor brute Is treated
for cvrns IT some other ailment, not
akin to the CAUSE.

their delegates to this county meeting,
for this Alliance in GuiIford is on a
Doom, and we intend to have III Of the
best county meetings ever held in Gull
ford.
The brethren Of Alamance are a
whole souled set Of Alliancemen and
know now to make every one feel a.
home. I am one who advocates
alton on the part Of the farmers no
more of it. If there is any set Of PEG
yle on the face OF the earth that ought

Brethren SO long as we lie as it were
supjnely upon u backs and hug the
delusive phantom Of hope, we may
never expect to a " any better times
Brethren, II we don'G work uui5edly
for reform we need never expect to SO,

Brethren, the life line of cur tenn
poral salvation is still extended to VA,
and If we will but only take unitedIy
ho.d of it and make one vigorous pull
together, we can pull this government
which is already toJJering on the very
verge of ruin, back upon the told
foundation built by our forefathers
and free America as it is called will
again blors)m as q rose.
Now, brethren, the weather has been
fine and we can be we'll up with

a meeting on the second Thursday in
April that will be a credit and an honor
to any lacor organization.

HENDERsONVILLE, N. O.
l say amen to Bro Kestle's letter in
the last weeks issue Of your paper, and
l am coLfi1ent that he has spoken the
sentiments of nine tenths of the Popu
lists of the 9th Congressional District.
Furthermore we propose to stand
firm and co operate until the last day
in the evening. We know what we
have accomplished by it, and now we
real, Is the fact that it is more lmpor-
tant to protect what we have done
than to take chances at something new
and untrIed. How can eny POpullst
in the State of North Carolina entertain
the idea of fusIng with the Democrats
for q single mOmtn Mt after being rldi
culed, misrepresented and criticised
By them like they have Ceen for two
years, and if Mr.. Butler and DIR. Mott
are Dissatisfied with their parties we
beg them in tee name of high heaven
to go quietly along and leave US to
work ou5 own salvation. Bet alas,
how sad it makes us to see our beloved
Butler, the nan whom we have trusted
and bestowed all confluence in to go by
the way 50 soon.

where poverty holds a larger sway; the
wDrking man earns more within the
borders of America, and lives com
paratively cheaper and gets better
wages than they do in some of those
foreign countries. It has never been
the policy of our good government to
put It's trade forward by the point of
the bayonet, that we have thought that
it should be done on mutual advan
tages to open up the markets of our
sister republics IN South and Contra!
America; by American ships and farms
that the nearer together the producer
and consumer can be brought the less
W sste there is in transportation and
the greater the wealth. We find that
WI are receiving from those oreign
countries enormous annual imports of
sugar, rice and raw hides, and we have
placed them on the free list that they
give US fair reciprocity for all that we
receive, or il any other aggressive
movement in the u of the
world. Respectfully,
