Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
R~EIDsvILLE n. y.
You can tell Mrs. B Ikins that the
Farmers Alliance up here j. r cking-
nam Is getting along about a. veil or
mayba y little better than 1T ,l-and
the Peoples party il Cv. rl4aClnGly
booming, Notwithstanding the runners
of fu ion, Te5Usion and c MUS on fl at.
We care but little, or nOChiog. for the
rumOTs, as we up here in Rockingham
have decided to fuse with SallIe and
the children this time-on National
issues anyway. We would Ike very
mucn to provide an office fer every
hungry politician and crafty the am
bitiOn Of every fusion manipulation,
bus it is impossible to do so at this
time.
AS far as the Populists of Rocking
ham county are concerned, we will
meet in county convention at the ap-
pointed time and send a solid anti
fusion delegation on National issues to
a State convention; and If a so called
nOn-partjSan electoral ticket or a divis-
ion on the electoral ticket Ia offered US
we will speW it out of our mouths II
we are good enough to have a National
party we are good enough to have an
independent National ticket of our
own National and State affairs are
separate and distinct issues. On State
issues interests are identical With
those of the Republicans. Tt is q CUES
ton Of life and death with ua, ana II the
Democrats again get control, the last
state Of che Republican and P0pulist
parties will be worse than the first.
COnsC quently, when our county CON
vention meets it will be to our interest
to send a delegation to the State con-
venti0n instructed to fuse with the
Republicans if satisfactory arrange
menG3 can be made.
As to fusion with the Republican,
on the legislative and county tickets,
that is our own effAir, and there is LO
man in the Papulis5 party powerful
enough to prevent it. We wear the
collar Of no boss and recognize no au-
thOrity on fusion matters other than
the conventions OF the party.
You can tell old man Bllkins not to
dispair, but to apply to the Smith,
PEBBLES Fusion Company. Perhaps
that firm can do something for him.
1t Ia a pity that "a gem of the purest
ray serene"-like the Smith, PEBBLES
Fusion Company-''should waste it's
fragrance on the desert air" It's fra
GRANGE will be wasted on the desert
air when it spreads over Rockingham
county, with the exception Of that pOr-
ton that is inhaled by State Senator
Lindsay. Yours truly,

Also, the Caucasian ~editorially said,
May g., '95:
The Democratic party made a plat
form for the last campaign. 1t was a
free silver platform, too. They got in
on it. That's all the use they made of
it. = They didn't try to stand on it a
minute. They are coming out now
with new professions. They may de
clare for a free silver platform, but
there's no good reason for thinking
ing they will stand on it if they get IN.
They deceived the people terribly in the
last election. The people cannot really
be blamed, for they thought the Dem
ocratic party vas honest. But if the
people allow themselves to be fooled
again, they will deserve the condition
of serfdom and slavery to which they
will be reduced"

fact, the CASTOR county ticket will not

for fusion is practically unanimously
endorsed; at least eight ninths so, with

and we say the same thing, but II we
were only personally interested, we
would say not fuse on anything, be
cause the Republicans a carry the
State any way you fix it. But to do
the honorable and square thing as
we always try to do, we say fuse and
if not on Electoral ticket, then let no
Republican cast a vote fer a PopUlls6

made in Virginia, and that is in as
Stunning that the masses of the people
are all fools and can be led to swallow
everything he says. Malone, with

and many in other States bestowed
upon him, went down in political dis
grace, unwept, unhonorod and unsung
for believing such rot. Mr.. Butler
rode in on a little wave of ~dissatisfac-

principles laid down in the Omaha
platform and consenting to be tie tail
TO an exclusive free silver party is al
most too silly to be discussed. The
silver proposition, while we'll enough
in it's way, is an essentially selfish one,
since the men who are most pron2i
nent in urging it are mine owners and
are seeking for a market for their pro
duct. The Peoples party has other
and fully as important plans on hand
for the a~meli0ration of the condition Of
mankind. If the silver men are in
earnest in their move, let them join
our party. We have always favored
the free coinage Of silver, but we have
other plans in view which we cannot
abandon. Had the silver men stood
by our party in the last election, we
would have carried Colorado, Mon
tana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming
and perhaps other States. Instead of
doing this, they said that the Repub-
lican party in those states was in
favor of the free coinage of silver, and
that, therefore, it was good enough for
them. If this is so, I do not e why
the same party is not good enough for

William j. Bryan had the amazing as
surance to say in speech at Richmond,
Va, few days ago, that, since his nomi-
nation, gold had begun to be imported,
and to ask what might be expected from
his election if his mere nomination had
produced such a result. Evidently Mr..
Bryan intended his remark to be taken Sc
riously, but to any one who understands
the causes of the gold imports his claims
appear like an attempt at humor. Gold is
coming in, not because of Mr.. Bryan's
nomination, but in spite of it, and because
our merchan,lise exports are exceeding
the imports. And this latter fact is due,
in turn, to the fact that Mr. Bryan's can
didacy and platform have so frightened
capital as to withdraw it from the loan mar
ket, thus advancing interest rates until
foreign capital has been invited to this
country to be LOANED on gold notes. 1t is
true, also, that, owing largely to the de-
creased buying capacity of our people, ouI
exports have SO increased over our imports
as to cause gold to come this way to set
tie the balance. But this favorable balance
has come at the cost of low prices to oul
farmers, idle workmen, and weary months
of improbable trade and business stagna
tion.
Everyone knows that, if Bryan should
be elected, every dollar of gold that has
been imported would be withdrawn again,
and it probably wouldn't be "a hours be
fore every dollar of the yellow coin in the
treasury would be taken out in exchange
for legal tenders. We would be on sill
yer basis as s6on as his majority wai
counted.

home team by a score of 80 to 0.
The teams lined up at o'clock and
good steady game followed although the

good interference Mt. Hermon succeeded
in making two touchdowns in the first half
from which goals were kicked. The Brat
tleboros received the ball on four downs sew
eral times but failed to advance.
The second half was much like the first,
the Brattleboros being unable to make any
gains when the ball was in their hands,
which was partially due to the fact that
they were outweighed by their opponents
by at least 25 pounds to man. William
