IT IS l. RIGHT.

A good many papers r criticizing
the new administration on account of
the fact that q number of manufacture.
ers and mine owners have reduced
wages considerably since Mckinley
was inaugurated instead of raising
them as they promised to do if he was
elected.
These papers do not understand the
situation at all. The way to raise
wages, according to the new logic, is
to cut them down. Didn't the goldbug
Democrats and Republicans make this
clear some time agoG Certainly they
did. They said the way to make money
plentiful was to quit making it, and
then closed down the government
money making factory, i. e., the issue
of silver certificates. Then they sue
ceeded in convincing alarge number of
people that mortgages "are an evidence
of prosperity" and hushed the Stats
ticians who were arguing that the peo-
pie we're falling into the clutches of the
money Gnarks. Didn't they declare
that the only way to replenish the de-
pleted treasury was to issue bonds and
buy money when we had tons and ions
of money making material lying
around rusting and the minis to coin
and print it2 OF course
Fellow-citizans, you have gotten
turned around" you have lost your
bearings. The way the goldbugs raise
wages is to pay the mechanic who was
getting 81 per day a few months ago
81 so per day now. This is carrying
out the logic they have used all the
while, and, as it works like a charm,
why change itH The goldbugs are not
fools, it is the mutton-heads who allow
Themselves to be gulled.

FOR A SPECIAL MEETING.

DEAR BRETHREN:-Seeing the resolu-
tions passed by Farmville Alliance,
Pitt county, in this weeks PROGRESS
I'VE FARMER, I am moved with the hope
that the County Alliances, or a ma
jority of them, anyway, will see fit to
pass resolutions to have our State Presi-
dent call a special meeting of the State
Alliance on or about May 3rd, 1897, Ito
devise some plan to put our shoe fac
tory at work" as requested by said
Sub Alliance. What this Alliance
stated are facts, and the sooner the
work is begun the better it will be for
the good Of oar Order. These resolu-
tions have the right ring to them. Now
let the brethren all over the State
arouse from their lethargy, and like
this Sub. demand that the factory shall
start and [ assure you it will soon be
in operation. The hum of these ma
chimes, if started, will echo and re echo
from mountain to sea, and will carry
gladnees and hope into thousands of

spirited. If there should be no State
Alliance called May Sd, be sure and
send delegates to your State meeting
IN August, pledged to unlock the doors
and restore to the Alliance all the rights
and functions belonging to it under the
Constitution, and you will b9 surprised
to Q how quickly the Order will re-
vive and push forward in an aggressive
manner. l suggest, since so many
brethren are holding back their funds
for manufacturing purposes till the
shoe factory shall start, that every
Sub Alliance have q called meeting at
once, if no regular meeting is near at
hand, and get obligations from mem
bers for amounts they are willing to
deposit as permanent stock. Let one
or more members be delegated to see
how much can be raised by giving OBJ
legations to pay in 60 days after the
shoe factory shall be put in operation,
Or to be paid Nov. 1st, 1892. Provided
in both cases the shoe factory shall be
in operation by Sept. 18th, 1897. 7 sug
gest that obligations be given as fol,
lows:

A WASTE OF TIME.

A number Of State papers have used
up a good deal of white paper and ink,
and wasted valuable time, as well, in
trying to convince somebody that the
editor of this paper has committed a
great wrong in accepting the position
of Secretary to the Board of AgricuI-
ture.
We understand that much of the
criticism has been in a spirit of fun.
However, some Of the papers have
tried to make it appear that there has
been some inconsistency; that this
writer has made relentless warfare on
pie hunters" and should not accept
pie himself.
True we have ridiculed fellows who
make day and night hideous with their
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-04-13

appeals for Office; those who ask all
their friends to sign their petitions two
or three times a week, oftentimes when
they have no just claim for this or that
position, and still oftener when they
are totally unfit to fill the positions
they are after. We have also had
something to say about people who
jump from nj party to another with
no other object in view than a pos
sible Office. Then, again, we have
often denounced traitors, those who re-
nounce principles they have long ad
vocated, DESERVING their friends for the
purpose of getting pie. We have been
particularly severe on those who have
deserted their friends and their avoWed
principles after getting Office at the
hands of those who trusted them,
and all this we expect to continue. We
have never written a single word
against ofice-holding Of Office seeking
when it was done in the right way, and
the files of this paper are open to
anyone who thinks ne can show any
thing to the contrary.
1t has been possible for this writer
to hold more profitable positions than
the one to which he was recently cleo
ted, but to have accepted any Of them
would have been treachery. We were
elected Secretary by a board composed
of Republicans, Democrats and Popu-
lists, and if they expected anything ex-
cept our best efforts to fill the position
they have never intimated it. There
was no compromise of principle, and
the writer has not and will not change
his views on any subject unless con-
WINGED that said views were erroneous.
We believe a man can hold an Office,
large or small, and be honest, and that
he can treat every citizen alike in dis
charging his duties, and this We will
endeavor to do. We trust that our
readers will pardon this much of a per
sonal nature, and promise not to refer
to the suEjectagain if it can be avoided.

IMPORTANT SUPREME COURT
DECISION.

Is the world growing better9 Ger
tainly the United States Supreme Court
has turned a new leaf. It has recently
rendered a very important decision
affecting monopolies, and, for a won
der in favor of the public. But up to
this time the great newspapers and the
news gathering agencies have not
found it out, so we will inform them.
The case was Sanford vs.. Poe, from
Ohio, and the Court held that a State
in taxing the personal property OF an
inter State express company within the
State may consider the whole property
of the company as a single profit pro-
ducing plant, taking into consideration
the value Of it's capital stock as an eler
ment Of the value of the property, and
that for the purpose of determining the
value of that portion of the plant
whichit has within the State intangible
as we'll as tangible property, including
contracts for transportation facilities,
may be taken into account. This is
declared not to be a taxation of inter
State commerce or Of property outside
the State.
In Ohio the express company returned
but &23. 43O worth of property, .includ-
ing horses, wagons, pouches, etc. Yet
it was shown that the company derived
in one year 1926, 446 from this property.
Speaking of this, Chief Justice Fuller
said: considered al distinct subjects
of taxation, horse is a horse; a wagon,
a wagon; a safe, a safe; a pouch, a
pouch ;out how is it that $23, 43O worth
of horses, wagons, safes and pouches
produce 1925, 446 in a single years"
The result of this decision will BE-
far reaching, Dou btless all the States
not owned by the monopolies will now
see that they contribute a little more
toward paying public expenses.
This will enable the various States to
tax the watered stock as well as the
real property of express companies,
railroads, telegraph and telephones.
For instance, the Western Union Tele-
graph Company has less than $26, 600,
900 actually invested, but charges its
patrons 8 or 10 per cent. on $12O, 600,
600. This will enable the State OF
North Carolina to tax the Company
for it's pro rata of that $12O, 600, 600, and
may result in compelling the Company
to do away with watered stock and to
levy only reasonable tariffs.
