THE TIME FOR ACTION HAS COMB

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Many wise and otherwise sugges-
tions, are being made by brethren in
their communications to THE Pro
GREssTvE FARMER these days. Some
suggest and even insist upon taking
the last centof the Business Agency
Fund to run the Shoe FACTORY. Those
who suggest this would not do so
doubtless if they were correctly inform
ed. Some urge that the Subs instruct
all the delegates all the way UP to the
State Alliance to take the fund and
start the Factory. They evidently do
not know that out of $50, 1000 Of that
fund which the Trustee reported in
hand at the last State meeting, there is
less than SO, 600 in hand now. l
Judge from what has been published
in THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. There are
many things to consider; all sides Of
this question should be looked into
carefully, and without fear or favor.
Sentiment will never succeed in bust
ness. Business, strict business princi
pies, must be applied. Men of sound com
NOR sense business ideas from the Sub.
to the County, and from the County to
State Alliances, should be sent; with in
structions to take time to investigate
and find out all the causes of the stand
ing idle of our machinery, and to s,eto
it that the necessary step or steps be
taken at once to put the machinery in
motion. The Alliarcs cause is too
sacred, and our needs now are too
urgent to be sympathetiea1ly sliding
along. Business, strict business prin-
ciples must be adopted and worked. II
it takes a complete reorganization to
bring US to that, let it come.

A YOUNG CLAN 7.

The rapid spread of populism is I'm
precedented in the history of the
United States, not excepting the phe
nomenal growth of the republican
party. Twenty years ago there was not
a populjst in the nation. Even ten years
ago there was scarcely a ripple on the
political waters to give a premonition
of its coming.
It is now estimated that there are
5000, 900 populist voters in the United
States. To these should be added at
least two million women who cannot
vote and one million young men who
will be voters in 1900. These voters
and workers have been produced by
study, mainly within the last six years,
and they can no more be turned from
the advocacy Of their principles than
the mathematician q from faith in
the truths of the multiplication table,
says the Southern Mercury.
The strength and permanency of the
peoples party depens entirely upon the
economic intelligence of its members
Populism is a child of necessity, born
of the exigencies Of the times. Up to
date the Democratic and Republican
parties have been its chief recruiting
agents. Their tyranical legislation has
driven millions into the PopuIist party
aud the ranks of it's recruits continue
to increase with rapidieE~ Once q pop
ulist, always a populist, is the rule,
the only exception being in the case of
traitors who enter it in search of a
place at the official pie counter.
After each election these traitors fall
by the wayside; but the true Populist
continues to fight those opposing his
way, with a determination born of in
telligent patriotism, that no mistor
tune can abate o. swerve from the
path of duty, and for every traitor
that develops, the party receives ten
who not only enlist for the war. but
understand precisely what the fight ia
about.

ENGLAND OBJECTS.

In the House Of Commons, Thursday,
Earnest Williams formally called the
attention Of the British government to
the fact that a small body of Ameri
leans have deposed Q Ieen Liliuokalani,
and have assumed sovereignty over the
Hawaiian Islands, and now, to save
themselves, r asking the United
States to annex those Islands. Mr..
Williams wants to know whether or
not the British government is willing
to give up these Islands, as an imporl
tant coaling station, without entering
a protest.
We can't answer Mr.. Williams, but
it is safe. to assume that England don't
care much about the leprosy-ridden
islands, and will not raise a row unless
Wall Street and Mr.. Rothschild think
it good policy to raise a little jjngoism
just to keep the public attention drawn
from their schemes for a listle while
longer.

CHARLIE ROSSN

Perhapsall The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
readers may not recall the history of
the search for Charlie Ross. AS the
death of his father, @. K. Ross, has
aroused new interest in this famous
mystery, we will give q brief sketch of
the event. 4,
On July 1st, 1874, Charlie Ross,
then four years old, while playing in
front of his fathers home, in German.
town, near Philadelphia, was taken
into a buggy by two men under pre-
tense of taking him for a ride, and car.
ried beyond the reach of parents, as
well as detectives.
The father Immediately offered a re.
ward of $500 for his return, but this
only elected an anonymous communi-
cation in which it was stated that he
could 1ot be returned for less than 3d.
600: The distracted father promptly
replied by a personal" in The Phila
delphia Leader that he was ready to
negotiate to the extent of his ability"
Ross description of the kidnappers
was very definite and many false arrests
were made all over the country. As
an additional incentive the city authori
ties Of Philadelphia offered a reward of
$50, coo for ''suc1 information as would
lead to the recovery Of the boy and the
arrest and conviction of his abducsors."
This was the means of gaining the
services Of Allan Pinkerton and his
men, in addition to those of the regular
detectives of the country. On the 28sh
of September, 1874, Pinkerton an,
nounced that the case had got the bet
ter of him, and that he was willing to
r~elirquish the reward of 800, 600.
Mr.. Ross health, mental and physical,
began to decline. Two notorious river
thieves, whom some believed to be the
guilty parties, were killed Oct. 14sh,
1874. while attempting burglary.
"Mr. Ross issued a circular, in which
he expressed the belief that the two
dead burglars were the abductors of
his son, and offered a reward of S., OOO
for the return of the child and no ques-
tions asked. This was on December
%, 1874. To this day no word has
ever been received of the missing bow"
1t is n of those strange deeds that
time has enveloped in a veil of mys
terry which only eternity car solve.

COUNTY ALLIANCE MEETINGS.

If You have not already elected del,
egates from your Sub Alliance TO the
County Alliance meetings, please do so
at once. These meetings will be inn.
portant. Elect your very best men in
the Subs. and let them in turn elect
the very best man>possible to go to the
State Alliance meeting in August. The
life of organization depends upon
these meetings. II no interest, or but
little, is taken, the meetings will be
practically failures, and you cannot
expect the County. or State meetings to
amount to much il the Subs. fall short.
Officers are to be electedin each County
Alliance. Elect not only capable men,
but men who will take interest, who
have the work at heart.
There will be much important bust
ness before the State Alliance. OF
course there will be an election of off
GERS, and the shoe factory question will
demand no little attention. We trust
that every county will send men to
Hillsboro in August uninstructed as to
details, but let the delegates be men
Of sound judgment who will go there
with q determination to perfect plans
to put the shoe machinery in full opera
ton and keep it going. We believe
that everything there is ready for the
harvest, and, with good management,
will ba successful from now on. But
the enterprise is bound to be a failure
so long as the machinery stands idle,
as it has done for sometime. Let il
be operated.

NORTH CAROLINA FIRST TO
ADOPT THE REFERENDUM.

North Carolina was the first State to
try the Referendum, as she has been In
so many things, and, as usual, without
receiving due credit. We do not refer
to the sumitting of new constitutions
to the people for approval, as has be-
come customary, nor to submitting 10
cal questions to popular vote as the
change of county-seats, or the divld-
ing line of a county (as lately between
AIamance and Chatham), nor the issue
of county or town bonds as required
by the constitution.
But we claim that the first instance
of a legislature submitting, not a con-
stitutional amendment, but a simple
act of the legislature to approval at
the ballot box was Chap. 319, Acts OF
N. @. in 1881, prohibiting the manufac
ture and sale of liquor in this State.
The people at the ballot box refused to
confirm the act of the legislature.
This is, we can safely claim the first
instance in the United States OF the
principle of the Referendum, applied
to an act of the legislature intended not
for local purposes, but covering the
whole State.
North Carolina was the first to adopt
the Referendum to this broad extent
and till now no one seems to have
claimed for her the credit of being the
first in this great movement.
In fret, we have had editors who
have affected not to understand, OF
who ale opposed to, this great reforma
tory movement, which is intended to
he a curb upon legislatures that do not
regarg the public will.
