SECRETARY HOOVER WRITES

and CO7Lnt1J Tpc

BILLsBORO, N. G,
Sept. 25, 1897.
To the State, Sub. and County Lee
turers:
As the time is drawing neal for u
county meetings, I want to call the at
tention of the Lecturers both State
and county, to the Importance of pre-
senting the claims OF our State organ,
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. We can
not WELD that influence we ought, nor
accom- lish the aims OF our order, with
out the, aid Of this paper; nor can the
paper measure up to its full usefulness,
without our hearty support I earnestly
request the brethren everywhere to
remember this and make it part Of their
business at each country meeting 10
urge all who are not subscribers to sub
scribe and to those who are in arrears,
If any, to pay up what they may 1--WE
We must not let organ become
pressed for funds because Of our fail
ure to pay what we justly owe it. We
want q clear cut non partisan paper
devoted to the Alliance, strictly indie
pendent Of all political parties, but to
hew to the line and let the chips fail
Wher they may. To have this we
must give it u hearty financial, as
we'll as moral, support. Then, breth.
rem, let's do our best to double the sub
scription list and collect amounts due:
this is lot only our duty, but should be
our pleasure, and 1 trust every man
will do his duty. J. T. B. HOOVER,
Sec'y Tres.

AFTER TRR COTTON BALING
TRUST.

The last issue of the Chatham Citi.
zen goes after the Cotton Trust with
vim and vigor. 1t Gays:
We are told that the original design
of a trust vas to give better advan
tsges to the ps ople on the goods pro
duced. Whether this ever was true or
not, we annot tell, but is not so now.
Designing tricksters, seeing that by
strengthening the powers ora trust
they can reap the benefits of some one
else's LABOR have made this the sole
purpose OF the trust. Farmers have
generally be en- the victims of such con
spIracies.
The time has been when it was an
easy job for a trust to rob a farmer of
his honestly earned products. This
wRs go because the farmers were not
informed and did not know the real
import OF the schemes worked upon
them, and, if they had known the
trouble, they were not organized and
could not resist it.
Now, we are glad to say, that both
Of these conditions, in a measure, are
chs nged.
Still fresh in the memory is the cot
ton bagging trust and the organized
effort Of the farmers which thwarted
its robbipg schemes, now, close follow
ing this ome another trust designed
r. 0Ln~% tho F,wvO. ~ ont ~ HS1 nNrrNo
crop. This is kno wn as the cylindrical
cotton press.
Let every Sub Alliance in the South
meet and pass resolutions denouncmg
such a scheme; let every cotton farmer
Who formerly belonged to the Alliance,
but has dropped OUT, seek restoration
for the purpose OF giving weight to this
Remuneration If for nothing else, and,
il there is q cotton farmer who never
belonged to the Alliance, but remem
bsrs how the bagging trust was broken
and sees this more threatening trust
hanging over the cotton farmers be
should apply for membership and add
his force to the organized Eff Jrt to
break such a conspiracy.
No matter if they do offer you as
much or more for your cotton. When
they get control of the transportation,
and control of the presses they will
control of the price, control of the en-
tire cotton crop and control of those
who raise the cotton.
Can We sford to lie still and let such
q scheme fasten it's tolls around us 80
that we cannot extricate ourselves9 If
we can and do then we need no longer
boast of the freedom purchased by the
blood of our Revolutionary fathers.

NORTH CAROLINA ON THE CUBAN
WAR.
FraternaIIy

In response to an inquiry by the
New. York Journal. in regard to the
position of the people of this State as
to the Cuban War, Gov. Russell re
piled:
The overwhelming sentiment in this
State condemns the reported atrocities
of Weyler and the native sy mpathies
of our people r enlisted in the
Cuban cause. North Carolina was the
first State to assert her independence
of the mother country, and it his al
ways been a characteristic of the citi.
zens to resist the oppressor and to aid
the oppressed. Our neutrality laws
have been grossly perverted in the in,
terests of Spain.
DANIEL L. RUSSELL,
Governor of North Carolina"
The Journal wired the Governors of
all the states, asking the same quos.
ticns as those asked Gov. Russell and
the replies indicate that the people are
overwhelmingly on the side OF the
Cuban patriots. The outlook for Cuba
is very bright. President Mckinley
will return Consul General Lee and it
is thought the war will not last much
longer.

other countries after January over
5O,00O,0OO bushels more than such
countries have furnished in recent
years. That their crops promise
better than those of last year is evi
dent. but whether they will be able
to supply as large quantity as that
named for export must remain a
matter of doubt until after the new
year has begun. Meanwhile the ac-
tivity of the export demand will be
likely to influence the course of
American markets strongly, and for
that reason the demand may be as
far concealed and also deferred as
possible, in order to avoid lifting the
price until engagements for foreign
use have been largely made.
For American farmers, in any
case, the outlook is highly encour-
aging, though it may not warrant
them in trying to keep back from
market too large a share Of their
grain until after January 1st.
