A SPEAKER WANTED FROM THE
EAST.
truly yours,
JAMES MURDOCH.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
From the columns Of newspapers we
gather the fact that there are many
candidates in the field for the office of
Speaker of the House branch of the
next General Assembly.
With few exceptions, all are from the
Western part Of the State. While moth
ing is farther from my mind than the
idea or question OF sectionalism, yet
we beg to submit, if, in the course of
human events, would is not be fair,
equitable and just to distribute the
honcr5 accruing from party success as
TO more nearly equaliz3 them between
the different sections Of the State than
he's heretofore been practiced. We are
led to this conclusion from an exami
nation Of the Record OF the House Of
R representatives, which develops the
fact that this honorable and lmpor-
tant position has not been filed by an
eastern man for nearly two decades
Commencing il 1888, we find:
In 1885, Holt, Of Alamance c5unty, was
Speaker.
In 1887, Webster, of R rockingham coun
ty, was Speaker.
In 1889, L2azer, of Iredell county, was
Speaker.
In 1891. Daughton, of Allegheny coun
ty, was Speaker.
In 1893, Overman, OF Rowan county.
was Speaker.
In 1895, Walser, Of Davidson county,
was Speaker.
All Of them western men, who have
been accorded this place O. honor, and
yet we are told that the west wishes to
acquire it again. With all due respect
and unqualified regard for those gen
tlemen, whose names have been prom
inensly mentioned for speaker, we beg
to say that more are more competent
than they TO fulfill the necessary re-
quirements Of the Office. But we insist
that the members of the home branch
of the legislature should, at the pres.
ent session, realize that our eastern
counties are not poor for experienced
and efficient parliamentarians.
Thomas II. Sutton, of Cumberland
county, who, but for an accident,
would have been elected Speaker in
1891. Sculken, Of Columbus, brainy,
conservative and broad minded. Cook.
of Warren county, an able counsellor
and efficient parliamentary leader.
Frank Brown, of Jones county, worthy
and well qualified to fill any position

combines which speculate eff OF the
farm products can be broken. The
farmers combines being a natural mo
nopoly could not be broken. The abiI-
ity of the pork raisers to fix the price
of the pork prevents any other com
bine from getting control OF the pork
and fixing prices. With the money
under the control Of the monied COM
binstion ali other combines stand in
with them to get the money to make
their combines. The combines have
demonstrated their ability to cope
with a falling market and set at de
fance the power Of the greatest com
bination the world ever saw-the
money power. Issue all the money
direct to the people at cost and every
natural combine will stand together,
fixed prices that will correspond with
fixed incomes and secure each class
a sufficient number of dollars to ex
change all we have. When each class
can fix prices, ether classes cannot fix
the prices for them. The consumer
and producer will be brought together;
middle men can no longer combine and
hold the producer at M end and the
consumer at the other as the pork
combine did. Huge fortunes cannot
be made in a day by a few men who
have the money aud who combine and
speculate eff of the producer and n
sumers. Huge fortunes made by these
artificial combines will remain among
the people. Combines must be met
with combines. Artificial combines
must be destroyed by each class com
bining, thereby preventing a few get
ting control of others products. To com
bipe is to cooperate. The people must
combine politically, get control Of the
medium of exchange and cooperate
and price their labor and products.
TIE tactics of the monied combines is
10 keep the people divided and control
the purchaaaole ote and dictate the
policy of one or both of the party ma
chimes. Organize 0 partisan guiles
where every school can become mem
bers and we will have an honest discus
sion, and the farmers, laborer5, miners,
manufacturers and every industry
will learn that they have a common
interest, which consists in each com
bining together for the establishment
OF an economical system that will en-
able them to combine and price their
labor and products. These guiles can
not be controlled by the creditor class.
The people will soon learn this impor-
tant truth, that the class that live off
of their credits are the implacable en-
emies Of every other class.
Death to this class!
Furnish the money direct to the PEG
pie at cost and you destroy the credi
tor class

JAMES MURDOCH.

down from the upper side to meet that
