Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
PITT Co, N. Q.
The question that comes to every
voter in this Union to day-shall the
people or money rule3-is by far the
gravest and greatest that v con,
fronted the American people since the
dark hours of the Revolution, when
our forefathers Wrenched from British
hands American freedom, which had
been stolen from US by laws and other
wicked devices of the money hoarders
of Wall Street.
No man in America to-day who be,
lieves in the peoples cause ought to be
idle-certainly he who is is heartlees
or is wanting in the true mans chief
attribute-coGrage; for who is it who
dc 2sn't know that the masses are to-
day slaves9 Don't tell me that such is
not the case yet, but they may be If
times don't change. Now-even now
the toiling, suffering me3se3 are in
slavery. Their last privilege to break
their chains will have been passed and
gone when the chilly winds of next
November shall have beaten merci
lessly upon the emaciated, hungry and
half clad thousands throughout this
once prosperous land, but now cursed
to the vely center by boarded ill-got-
ten gain.
The duty of him who loves home
and country and wants the many to
rule the few is plain if he will only take
the least trouble to inform himeelf. In
every schooEhouge and in every com
munity there ought to be a club where
the citizens could meet real often to
discuss and devise plans to draw men
in line with them SO that no vote be
lost that can possibly be saved to de-
stroy forever p%lutocratic rule IN this
once great land of the free, but now
land of the oppressed which, can only
be done by making Bryan President

Clean White Paner.

The Treasury gives us the following:
a missionary tells of visiting a dy-
ing woman recently in the west end of
Glasgow, Scotland. She had been a
paper mill hand, but she had led a very
wicked life outside the mill. Sac was
dying of consumption, and when she
learned that her case was hopeless she
gave attention to the m~issionary's talk
and was converted. Her joy knew no
bounds. The missionary says he has
never seen so joyful a Christian.
When asked why she was so jubilant,
spoke of her past life, and of Gods
wonderful mercy in saving so great a
sinner. 81 was like the rags that go
into the paper mill, " she said; "they are
torn and filthy, but they come out
clean white paper, and that is what
Jesus is doing for me-"
1t is the all-cleansing blood that
makes the clean record, and removes
all distractions between the soul and
heaven. Its application gives peace to
the conscience, purity to the whole be-
ing, and unbroken peace and comfortin
life and death. Have you tested it's
all cleansing virtue2 Is your heart

Grieve Not the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit can make our Bible
a book of life and light to US; He sharp
ems the two-edged sword and cuts the
dividing our souls from all secret
inward uncleapness; He brings us into
conscious freedom from sin and leads
us on the Canaan of free salvation /;
He is Gods seal upon us setting us
apart as Gods property. Seeing then
that He is all this to us, we must not
arrest His work in our lives by ''griev-
ing" (Eph. 400 or "quenching" Him
q Thes. $40. We may grieve or
quench the Spirit by inattention to His
headings or admonitions; by lack of 10y
atty TO Christ under all circumstances;
by disregard of our holy vows to God
or failure to keep our word with men;
by yielding to self, exaltation-think-
ing Of ourselves more highly than we
ought to think" by spiritual careless
ness and indifference in using the
means of grace; by indulgence in I'M
holy tempers, words and actions, by
covering up sin and pretending to be
what we know we are rot-a life of
false pretense; by want of right sub
mission to the Christening of God.
Dear reader, grieve not the Spirit by
doing any of these things.

Touching Truth.

After the war of the rebellion In this
country there was some talk of hav-
ing the great General Lee, who had led
the Southern army against the Union,
tried for treason and executed. He
was living at his home in Richmond
One day a ragged soldier, who had
heen in the Southern or Confederate
army, came up to General Lee as he
sat upon the veranda of his house and
ssIuted him very respectfully. The
General asked him what he wanted.
General" said he, there's fifty more
Of us fellows around the corner" In
deed! Why don't they come up to the
house9" TOO ragged, General; they're
raggeder'n me. Now, I'll tell you what
we are after, general. We hear that
YOU are going to be tried for treason.
Now we have got a mountain hollow
away up there, where nobody can get.
T1ere is a right smart of good land In
it, and if you'll come along, we'll work
the land for you, and you shan'n't never
suffer want" Lee was much affected.
He called the men to his house and
explained to them that it would not
be proper for him to hide in the noun,
tain to escape in any way, but he was
grateful to them for their offer.
Like General Lee, we are subject to
b tried for our lack Of loyalty to God
and the right. There is no way to es,
cape if strict justice be done US. But
GOD becomes. q fortress for us from
this and from all foes. He is more Of
a safety to us than the kind men offered
to General Lee in their mountain cave.
He not only protects us from foes,
but delivers US from sin, and we will
write those words upon the board.
