EDITORIAL NOTES.

If it takes 1862, 900, 900 in bonds to
keep up the gold standard policy a year
and a half, how many bonds will be re-
quired to keep it going ten years9
Moving our offices and fixing up
things interfered with the get up of this
paper; but it has a great deal of read
able matter in it, and our friends will
understand the situation. we are sure.
An exchange asks "where will Presi-
dent Cleveland stand in the light of
history9" Can't tell you, pard. 1t is
likely that he will stand quite Close to,
and either to the right or left of his
Satanic Majesty.
According to Dun and Bradstreets'
reports, business is still waiting"
We wonder if it is waiting for the re-
peal of the Sherman Laws That was
the trouble some three years ago. That
was repealed and it is still waiting.
Somebody should inform Mr.. Business,
as he evidently does not read the
papers.
The Montgomery, Ala Advertiser,
a cheap John goldbug daily, raises a
great cry about the political combine
that turned Jarvis and Ransom" out
Of the U. s. Senate and put in "Phicket
and Butler" That shows the great
knowledge of the single standard
sheets. The Advertiser only got two
Of the names right-just half-a single
standard, so to speak.
We want letters for publication from
the people of the State giving their
views as to the best course to pursue
in political affairs this year. We want
to get the c%oncensus of opinion from a
non-partisan standpoint, and not let

party. Members of any political party

principle for a great issue the people
would not have endorsed It at the polls.
But, we have now before us a Presi-
Dental campaign and the great over
shadowing issues that present them
selves for solution are national ones,
and among these the greatest and by
all odds the most momentous to our
future liberty and prosperity is the
financial question.
We have proposed to cooperate
again on principle, that is, we have
proposed to cooperate, making the
resolution passed by the Silver Con-
vention at Raleigh on September 25th
last the basis of cooperation.
A large majority of the voters of
North Carolina are opposed to the single
gold standard. A large majority of
the voters of North Carolina endorse
the resolution passed by that Silver
Convention, and we invite all those
who favor these great principles, who
are opposed to the single gold standard
and who are for the money of the Con
stitution, to co operate with us to give
the II electoral votes of North Caro-
lima to a candidate who is an American
patriot and who will fight to the bitter
death the Infamous British gold con
spiracy.
The people are tired of ~goldbugs,
they are more tired of straddle bugs,
they are still more tired, if possible, of
humbugs and ~hypocrites. They want
to see the issue drawn squarely between
the people and the common enemy. In
the coming campaign the people will
have an opportunity to vote for an
electoral ticket that is sound upon this
great question. They will have an op
portunity to vote for a State ticket and
for Congressman and for a whole ticket
that is equally sound and reliable from
top to bottom. The fight will be drawn
square in the nation from ocean to
ocean,. The fight will be drawn square
in North Carolina from the mountains
to the sea. Let every patriot prepare
for the struggle, in which our homes,
your fresides your liberty and pros
perity are all at stake.

OFFICES MOVED.

The Offices of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER have been moved a little lower
down Fayetteville street, and to the
opposite side of the street from where
they we're located. The location now
is northeast corner of Fayetteville and
Hargett streets, second floor, over the
Raleigh Savings Bank. The entrance
is on Fayetteville street. Strangers
can enquire the way to the Raleigh
Savings Bank and be directed to it, as
the bank has been in it's present quar-
ters for some time, and then easily find
our Office.
The present location is a much better
one than we had. Oar printing room
at the old Office was far from satisfac-
tory. Here we have the neatest and
most comfortable newspaper Office in
the city. The latchstring hangs out
side, and our patrons and everybody
r always welcome.
We want to add that there is not a
grain of truth in the rumors to the ef-
feet that this paper will be moved to
Hillsboro. We are here to stay.

WHAT WILL YOU DOa

The silver convention, which met in
Washington last week, will have the eff
feet of putting both the old parties on
guard in the matter of finances. That
convention declared it would vote for
either party that put on a bimetallist
for the presidency, but it also gave
these parties to understand that they
would put out their own man if neither
of them would act, says the Progress
sive Reformer.
What will these parties do9 Will
they attempt to fight out this financial
question within their respective par
ties, or will they work for a charge by
whatever may seem to be the most
effective means.
When the Democratic and Republi-
can conventions meet there will be

SORRY MAIL DELIVERY.

We have had numerous complaints
from subscribers at Morrisville, Wake
county, and at offices off the railroad
In that vicinity, as to the semi Dec
sional manner in which The PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER is delivered. Mistakes
will occur now and then in handling
mail, as well as in other things, but we
see no reasonable cause for such a state
of affairs as exist at MorrisviIle. We
have been told that the Morrisville
postmaster is above reproach; that he
is not guilty of neglect or anything
else. We hope such is the case, but
the mail irregularities continue. Some
body is responsible. Who is it, We
hope the matter will be remedied.
Morrisville is not the only p~ostofice
from which we get complaints. The
fault is not in mailing the papers, for
some subscribers get their papers and
others do not; some get them promptly.
while others get them after they are
two or three weeks old. If there isn't
q change we are going to picka jury
and find somebody guilty of 'pegli-
gently and corruptly" failing to deNyer
this paper.

The SECRET LIES IN CRGANI,
ZATION.
Editor Progressive Farmer:
Let me hear you explain this in THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
Yours X n r

Yours, F. E. E.
"The fee of a lawyer to day for a
service rendered is double or q~uadruple
what it was 40 years ago. 4 visit from
the doctor is much expensive
now than it was then. The general
run of wages is higher now than then
and taxes also have scared. But the
farmers produce is in the dumps and
his real estate has fallen in value, with
outa corresponding tumble in his taxes.
Why is it, Have you ever tried to
think it out?-N. Y. Farmer"
The above request and clipping was
handed to us M day last week by a
highly esteemed subscriber. We be,
lieve this State of aft airs has been
brought about partly by organization.
The lawyers are organized. They keep
up their fees in that way. Where
wage earners are thoroughly organized
they are getting better wages than the
same skill could command years ago.
But the unorganized ones, such as
clerks, farm hands, etc, are not so
we'll paid as they once were. Except
in a few highly favored localities the
value of farm property has declined
greatly without a corresponding de-
cline in taxes and other things.
From our standpoint we may argue
that all this is due to bad laws and
contraction of the currency. That
theory is correct, but the root of the
evil lies in the failure of the farmers
and wage, earners to organize and stay
so. If the other classes were not or
ganized probably this course would
not be necessary. Many organiza-
tions are feared by legislators and
yet they only number a few. This is
because they mean business. They
stand together regardless of party. The
moment farmers organize thoroughly,
throw ~partisanshlp to the winds, as
was the intention of the Alliance, and
let the politicians understand that they
mean business and never expect to
wear a party collar again, they will get
all they can reasonably ask and the
whole country will be benefited. The
remedy for most of our troubles is in
organization to meet organization.
Then the revolution will be a peaceful
one and will end in a very short time.
Organized farmers should not make
war on anybody else unless there are
wrongs to be righted, and then the
fight should be vigorous and decisive.

tions in each of these parties, and it is
hard to say which will win, but it is
generally believed that in both the
single gold standard element will pre-
dominate.
If this be the case what will the
other factions do2 Will they go on
voting as heretofore, or will they fall
in with the silver sentiment and vote
there7 AS sensible people what is
right. IL there was nowhere for this
element tC go and make any strength
it would be different, but as it is they
can go into a camp more naturally
their home, and in so doing gain what
they desire.
Already we hear leaders in the old
party saying, it must be fought out in
the old party. This is party lash, and
should be abandoned. What would
we think of an army of soldiers who
were starving and who would not fall
in with a brotherly army that had
plenty of rations.
We are daily meeting up with men
who say they they are for bimetallism,
but yet they say they must stick to
the party. II they don't nominate a
bimetallist we will vote for the single
standard. This is poor judgment.

Assistant Business Manager

Ontheletter head of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER the largest circulation of any
paper in the South Atlantic States is
claimed. This cannot have been put
forth in good faith, because there are
several Georgia and Virginia papers
known to have a much greater issue,
and these are counted among the South
Atlantic States. THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is truthful in claiming to be
the only agricultural paper in North
Carolina; and, according to the Amer
lean Newspaper Directory, no other
paper in that State has a larger circu-
lation.
Whether a page advertisement in
Printers Ink could be relied upon to
produce profitable results for a paper
entitled to no higher advertising rates
than THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER may
be doubted. The pages of Printers

RESPONSIBILITY OF CORPORA
TIONS.

We are antagonistic to corporations
only when they adopt methods detri-
mental to the public. In other words,
we believe that corporations, large or
small, have just as many privileges as
| the individual citizen, and no more.
When they attempt to go beyond the
limit, then we begin to kick. On the
other hand we are opposed to individ-
viduals getting an advantage over any
corporation. We believe this is often
done in courts, especially in damage
cases.
1t is reported that relatives of the
victims of the recent disaster at the
Cumnock coal mine in Chatham
county will sue the owners of the
mines for heavy damages. That was
an awful catastrophe. Thirty nine
souls were ushered into eternity in the
space of a few moments. If the mine
owners were criminally careless in the
management of the property they
should pay for it, and, if clearly proven,
the pay should not all be measured in
mere money. Money will not cOmpen-
safe twenty five widows and several
times that many orphans for the loss
they sustained. But were the mine
owners guilty9 That should be clearly
proven beyond a doubt. Sometimes
these awful things occur in an unac
countable way.
Some months ago the Station Agent
at Garysburg, N. @, killed a man.
The Agent was tried for his life and
acquitted. We don't know whether
the verdict of the jury was correct or
not, and do not propose to discuss that
feature. Later on the family of the
man who was killed sued the railroad
company for $50, 900 damages and got
$12, 900. Yet it is said that the diff
Guilty was not about business connec-
ted with the railroad at all. We can't
sec how the railroad company should
be held responsible for the act Of its
employee in a case like that. If the
matter is correctly reported, a mer-
chant is liable to damages if one of his
clerks meets a man on the street, en-
cages in a quarrel and kills the man.
Likewise a hand employed by a farmer
or any other employer. We can't see
through such business.
In a good many instances we believe
that railroad employees get damages
for injuries or death sustained while
in the service of the railroad when
they are not justly entitled to dam
ages. If a clerk falls down stairs
in a store and breaks his arm he does
not think of suing his employer. If
he is killed his relatives never JUG the
merchant. If a farmer hires a hand
and the horses run away and dash
his brains out, or if he is kicked by a
mule, there is no suit for damages. If
railroad companies run their trains
at a reckless speed, or if they allow
bridges to become rotten and a train
plunges through, or are in any way
guilty of gross negligence, then en-
ployees or passengers should make
them pay damages. ALI the facts
should be brought out in unimpeach
able testimony. We should be just to
others when we demand Justice Of
them.
