CARNIVAL WEEK,

Last week was Carnival week in St.
Paul and Minneapolis. Immense
crowds gathered. Some say 2OOOOC
people were on hand. About 80, 900 OF
the old soldiers, members Of the G.. A.
r.. were present. The people were
glad to show them every honor. 1t
was a gala time. 1t was however a
common observation in ST. Paul that
many of the gallant defenders of their
But they nearly all shouted for Nc
Kinley.
Such sight is enough to raise
doubts as to the capacity of the people
for Seif-govcrnmcnt.

CHURCHES AND CHURCHES.

The barefOoted Christ never built
the kind Of churches referred to in the
following extract:
If the devil likes anything it is to
see the saints build an expensive
church and sell the seats at prices
which only the rich can pay. In such
communities his royal fork-tail and
cloven-fOoted highness reaps double
harvest of those in the church and
those out of it.-Railway Times
In fact Christ did good without a
church. The plainesG temples and
the happiest people are pleasant in
the eyes Of the Creator; while mag
niticent edifices, rising in the midst of
misery, are reproach to God and a
disgrace to man.

will double the prices Of their produc-

have free silver. Forty-six cents for

And so the Times Herald's pretty

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT THE
RECENT MEETING OF THE
STATE DAIRYMEN'S
ASSOCIATION.

On presentation of correspondence
between Governor Carr and Secretary
Of Agriculture J.. s. Morton, in relation
to Texas fever and the quarantine
regulations relating to the same in
North Carolina,
RESOLVED, That this Association US
it's best endeavors to secure the exemp
ton of pure bred herds of cattle from
the action of the quarantine law when.
ever it is shown by certificate of a
qualified veterinarian that the animals
offered for shipment are at the time of
shipment free from the cattle tick.
2. That in view of the fact that CON
8 :derable quantities of oleomargerine.
butterine and other authorizations, in
imitation of pure made butter, are
being shipped and sold into the State
to the detriment of the farmer, the
dairyman, as we'll as to the injury OF
the consumer, guests of hotels, restaur-
ants and boarding houses, that this
Association take such steps as are neces-
sary in bringing the notice of this mat
ter to the proper authorities, whose
duty it is to see that the laws of the
State are carried out, and also to seek
the co operation of the press in an
endeavor to suppress these fraudulent
practices.
8. That at the next meeting of this
Association the question what bene-
fits can be acquired by membership in
the N. @. 8. D. Association" be taken
up for general discussion.

SURPRISED.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
l am surprised at the position Of Mr..
Kestler, editor of the Vestibule, and his
epitheths relative to the true Populist
position. It seems that because true
PopuIists will not vote for Mckinley, a
Republican goldbug, they are very
small in the eyes of Mr.. Kestler. Let
us see which is the smaller: For the
Populists to vote for Mckinley might
save the State from Democratic
tyranny, but fasten the gold standard
upon all the States in the Union, while
if Mr.. Kestler and his like did not have
so much party love about them, we
could save our State from Democratic
tyranny and the United States from
goldbug oppression; so it seems that
before they will give up their party
cow, they will see the whole country
go to destruction. Which is now the
smaller true Populists or such party
slaves9 IT such men would cast their
votes for principle instead of party, we
could save u country from trouble.
If the Republicans would bind their
electors to vote for a silver President,
there would be but little trouble to fuse
with the PopuIists, and a refusal to do
this is to say that they prefer a goldbug
President. I hope all true Populists
will see this point and stand solid for
reform. We gain nothing to vote for
a goldbug of any name. 1 hope Mr..
Kestler, who claims to be a Populist,
will see his error, reconsider his posi-
ton and stick to true Populism.
Those who want Office and think the
Populists will help put them there upon
a goldbug platform will be mistaken.
The Populists mean business, and bust
ness upon principle, and all men of
principle should be willing to work
with them. r. L. Brown.

RAVAGESOF THE "GoLD STAND.
ARD"

The gold standard, Clerk Vann Us
cadaverous Kirkland OK, crept out of
the sable n night last week, through
a crack, destroyed a ma Irity of Mr..
Buxton's garden, tomato plants, potato
tops, onions and all. But after all this,
the Frizland" retains his usual lean,
lank, cadaverous, hungry look. One
of our gold standard friends tells us
that this is a fair sample of how the
gold men are going to capture all the
conventions, etc. 1t may be added
also that it is a fair representation of
the raVages Of the gold standard upon
the prosperity of the people. Like the
Frlzland, it steals in the night when
people are not watching and destroys
the value of their property. But it
never becomes satisfied. 1t still retains
Its cadaverous restless look, ready at
every opportunity to renew it's ravages.
Here endeth the second lesson.-WiI-
kesboro Chronicle.

WASHINGTON FOR GOLD.

The Republicans of the State of
Washington are for the gold standard.
They are dead set against the so cent
dollar" This action is very like a
starving man who had no bread, rail
ing against j)hnny cake. We should
suppose that Washington would be
glad of any kind of dollars, even shin
plasters or buttons if they would pay
debts. Everything out there from q
smoke house to a railroad or lar d COM
pany, is in the hands Of a receiver, and
the average citizen has not enough
money to get his shirt washed. What
Washington needs is money, legal ten
der money. 1t needs nothing else. 1t
has vast tracts Of the best land in the
world it has a climate that is as nearly
perfect as a climate can be; it has other
resources of wealth that are pretty
nearly boundless, and it's people are
among the most intelligent and enter
prising in the world; but it is distress
ingly short in cash, in consequence of
which it's land remains unsold; its
products cannot find a remunerative
market and many of it's people are
thoroughly discouraged. Yet the Re-
publican portion of the population
want 200 cent dollars; want to double
the indebtedness of the State; want to
hinder the States development; want
to crush what few industries that are
still out of the hands of receivers and
want to make and have succeeded in
making Internal fools of themselves.
Washington would seem to offer a
splendid field for Populism Or some
other political ism that is not willing to
have the people starve to death in order
thaS they may enjoy the privilege OF
paying two dollars for every one that
they owe. -Farmers' Voice.

SILVER RECONCILIATION WILL
CURE.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind
It is with a feeling of disgust on the
one hand and sircare, heart felt sym
pathy on the other, that I read what
some of our great papers have to say
on the money question.
Disgust at the wilfuI blindness Of the
management of the papers and sym,
pathy for the readers and the com
mon people at large. They tell us that
the remonetiz ation of silver would
food u country with that metal.
They tell us that dollars would be as
as cheap as apples and that small boys
would use dimes in place of stones in
their sling shots.
The fact is, that if all the silver in
the world available as money, should
be drawn to the United States and
coined into dollars, there would be but
about $50 per capita for our entire
population. But as there are still sew
eral nations of the earth that have as
yet not demonetized silver, and will
continue to recognize it as a primary
money, we need not fear of a surplus
of silver, for these nations will require
silver also. So the U nited States would
in no way get more silver than was
really needed. All arguments to the
contrary are a mere fallacy, a delusion
and a snare.
The less money we have in circula-
ton, the lower products and wages will
be. The cause of u present hard
times is want of money. It takes too
many bushels of wheat, too many
pounds of cotton and too many hours
of labor to buy a dollar. But there is
a false line of arguing followed out by
the goldbugs. They tell IS hat a dol
lar will go farther than it ever did.
They tell US that a bushel of wheat
will buy more than it aver did. They
lie! You work harder; you work
longer than you ever did you sell two
bushels of wheat and get for them
the same that you used to get for one.
You sell two pounds of cotton and get
for them what you used to get for one
pound. You work in the factory, shops
or farm two days and get the wages
you used to earn in one day. But on
the other hand, your taxes are the
same as they used to be; your cartare
is the same; the salaries of our city,
county and State officials are the same
and in many cases a great deal more.

OPPOSED TO AN EARLY CON.
VENTION.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
CHARLOTTE, N. G.,

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
CHARLOTTE, N. @,
June, 8 1896.
I see that some of our Populist
brethren are awaiting themselves of
your very patriotic offer of space in
your valuable columns to express their
views in regard to the mode of sele CT
delegates to our National Convention.
Now, while 1 fully agree with the
brothers that the delegates should be
selected by the people, yet 1 must differ
with some of them for two reasons:
1st. 1 see no occasion for the implica-
ton that our Executive Committee has
usurped the powers that belong to the
people.
2nd. do not think it either neces-
sary or prudent for US to call a State
Convention at this time. The Demo
Gratis and Republicans are giving us
plenty of conventions j lst now, and
the very brilliant success that they are
having will amuse US sufficiently for
awhile, and they both being largely
city and town parties can eff )rd to
hold State conventions just for fun,
while we are very largely farmers. 1t
would be a great, as we'll as unneccs
sary inconvenience to many true Pops
for US to have a State Convention at
this time.
Now come, brethren, and let us see
what the facts are and then l will give
you a humble suggestion that I think
will give perfect satisfaction to all.
We are entitled to 95 delegates in the
National Convention from North Caro-
lima. The Executive Committee have
appointed 10 of thatnumber. We have
so senatorial districts in the State.
Let the State Executive Committee di-
vide this IS among the SO districts, Civ
ing each district at least one delegate,
and the IS districts that gave the larg.
est vote, 2 delegates each. Thus w
will have IS of the IS delegates directly
from among the people. Taen let a
convention be called, and let each dis
trict elect the delegate or delegates that
that are divided to it, thus we have the
choice of all the people, and avoid any
necessity of holding a State Conven-
ton.
One word more: Let no district elect
any man delegate because he is able or
willing to attend the N ational Conven-
ton, but let the only qualification be a
full, true and unqualified endorsement
of all the Peoples party platform. Then
having selected true blue Pops for dele
gates, let US all chip in u mites and
each District pay the expenses of III
delegates. Then we will be represented
by patriots and not by pie hunters as
is the case with the old parties.

CHARLES B. MAsTEN.

The American Surety Co.. erected an
enormous building on Broadway, New
York, and the cornices of it's sky
scraper overhung John Jacob Astor's
building. John Jacob asked them to
remove it; they declined; John Jacob
filed a contract for the erection of a
t~wenty-story building jam up against
the A. s. Go. building, which was to
shut out light and air from 1876 win
dows in the A. s. Go. building. This
brought the company to terms and
they leased the Aston building for seven
