Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In my first letter l rather approved
the platform given in new form by Mr..
Archer. and now Icommend it heartily,
with some amendments l shall offer. l
have had some correspondence direct
ing my attention most f~avorably to it.
It not only asserts our principles, but
outlines true policies and gives reasons
for one distinctive political organize
ton as being entirely different from
the policies adhered to by the two old
parties The people see that this is
needed and it is what they demand
and we must be equal to the occasion
or give place to another party that will
do 6 The common people are not
satisfied With being told that If party
is going to reform poIltIcs; they de
mand to know how it is going TO be
done.
With the industrial people the refer,
endum principle in their party plat
form as well as in their government
must commence right now.
The articles given covering the four
essential principles of the Omaha and
St. Louis platform do this the most
completely of any platform I have ever
seen. There is no double meaning or
double dealing in them. l am going to
ask you to represent that pare referring
to taxation with one amendment.
"a The revenue for all government
purposes, National, State, county and
municipal-except in part for free
schools-shall be raised by a system of
direct graduated taxation on all prop
erCy.
b, Assessments for taxation shall be
made by July of each year and all
products and manufactured articles
shall not be taxed for the first solar
year in which they are produced.
Add one more plank to the above as
follows:
The initiative and referendum shall
be adopted in National, State and mu-
nicipal government so that our people
can be heard in petition for legislative
action; and also have the right to
adopt or reject all laws enacted. This
principle shall also rule our party man
agement.
Under the first head of Mr.. Archer's
proposed platform it declares for gold,
silver and paper. Our fathers certainly
conquered from Great Britain the right
to name our financial system. Fed
eral money" signifying our unity of
government, the same as Englishmen

There has been enough saved at this
place on sugar and coffee alone to pay
every mans dues who are eligible to
membership. One AIlianceman over
heard a drummer talking to a mer-
chant here the time the first Alliance
sugar that was ever brought here
came. You could not buy a pound of
white sugar Of any kind here for less
than 10 cents per pound. The Agency
knocked down the price to 81 at first.
The drummer said the price of sugar
was the same it had been-the only
difference being "that little felEOU over
there has just found out what it is
worth" He was talking about the
Alliance Sub Business Agent who was
dealing it out just across the street.

farmer in the State.

have called their unit OF measure the
pound sterling This indicates that it
shall be legal tender and issued by
payments to discharge our obligations
for public improvements. To say that
this will not be honest, safe and sound
is to hy in the face of historal facts.
While this il not the plan of our reform
students, it in general adjusts itself
most aemirably TO genuine money re-
form, combining therein sound dnan
cial policy.
Thergraduated tax question is an old
one that has been discussed most by
the wage workers and other producers.
The monopOlists, with their subsidized
press, would rather ignore this, because
it promotes the even distribution OF
wealth, and not the most rapid RRgre
CATION Of it.
With the amended article I have
suggested this plan Of taxation will
unite the tax reformers, as it covers
the land monopoly problem and all
other mopolies completely.
Under transportation it not only ad-
vocates government ownership, but in
dictates clearly to those who read care
fully how the financial system will be
made useful in the building or purchase
Of railways, teleRraphs, waterworks
or other public utilities. If the pres
emit administration was acting under
the principles of this platform the
Union Pacific Railroad steal Of twenty
millions from our people would not have
taken place.
Another article very wisely exempts
partisan prejudices from having any
thing to do with the appointments to
public service Civil service would
alone control that.
I would like to hear from Mr.. Archer
and other reform writer's If they would
consent to the amendments I have
suggested. Now is the time to sgitate
the matter. In the meantime I con
graduate you on having so able a cor
respondent as Mr.. Archer has proven
himself to be. L. Q. BATEMAN.

BRO. BIRTHS PROPOSITION.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In The PROGRESSIVE FARMER Of No
vember Pad Mr.. D T. Britt makes a
proposition that he will be one of n
hundred to contribute twenty five dol
lars, or n of fifty to contribute fifty
dollars each in order to raise 50, 500 to
run the Alliance Shoe Factory pro
vided the Alliance will give the said
fifty or one hundred stockholders the
full control of the Shoe Factory.
Now, perhaps, 1 do not understand
Mr.. BrItt's proposition as I should.
but / think u Executive Committee
is quite competent to manage the fac
tory, and we are not willing to hand
over the Alliance Shoe Factory to what
might prove a trust and combine.
It Is nGot lack of funds that is the
cause of the present delay. Bu., in
the first place, according Is the report
OF our Executive Committee, the DELAY
was caused by the lack of a proper per
son to run the factory. In the second
ablce there needed to be some change
plade in the machinery, which prob
may is or will be made soon.
Mr. Britt speaks for his Alliance by
saving that his Alliance will lose what
they have in the chloe factory rather
TRAN contribute any more.
Now if NJ. Britt will post himself
by reading TEE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
he will gee that some of the Alliances
are still freely contributing to the shoe
factory I will speak for my Alliance
by saying that we have heretofore, and
will continue to respond to any worthy
call
Now, brethren, we have worked too
hard, and waited TO patiently. to hano
over our shoe factory as a free gift to
the proposed combine.
Yours truly.
