One of the excuses some Neva-

for investors found nothing but
gamblers, and none of them cared
to gamble in Nevada lands, silver
mines or anything else from
which the State would reap any

After all that has been said
throughout the Christianized
world, against the miserable bar
barity of the Turk, the world is
called upon to witness the ban
ners and warships of the leading
nations of Europe planted around
and protecting the Turkish EN-
blem of misrule in the Island of
Crete. All of which is but another
instance of the fact that the Pul-
ss of great nations, in nine cases
out of ten, shut their eyes to NOR

weak brother when called upon to

COMMISSIONER FITZGERALD.

One of our respectable citizens,
wise or otherwise, said yesterday
on the street: "Who wants Com.
missioner Fitzgerald down here,
spying out our labor system?" OF
course. this question infers that
our labor system will not bear in
spection, and that a knowledge
of it may hurt US.
We can most confidently in
form our Disguised respectable
citizen that we, as community,
must "show up" There is quite
too much belief in America that
we are afraid of ourselves and our
labor system. A man like Secre-
tary Sherman is not deceived by
the statement made so often that
these Islands are Americanized.
when ii is current news in all of
the American papers that only =
per cent of the population is
American. We chose to make a
census, and we did not juggle
with the figures. We know how
effectively these figures have been
and will be used against us.
Commissioner Fitzgerald has
shown to the people of California
that white labor, properly select
ed, can economically displace vel
low labor. He doe1not consider
it an easy task to do it. But it can
be done. He has an impression
that white labor can supplant vel
low labor ON the plantations here.
He comes here to settle that mat
ter for himself, and he will act
on his own judgment only in rec
Ommending, hereafter, any white
men to undertake sugar cane
raising ON a small scale in con
nection with the large planta
tons. He may conclude, ON the
other hand, that there are no
here for such men. If
he does, it may be regarded as a
national calamity, as it will go
far to convince us that the white
man has no place in these Islands.
1t will mean, also, in due time,
''the white man must go.''
If Commissioner Fitzgerald
does not find much enthusiasm
here for Americanizing the Isl
ands beyond shouting that they
are Americanized, he will see, if |
he looks closely, that our com
like that of his own
State, California, does not care to
look very far ahead, and regards
persons who talk about the future
as disagreeable and visionary. |
Just as the Commissioner himself |
has been called visionary in San
The Commissioner must not be
in realizing that
there is no special enthusiasm
here among the average Ameri-
cans. in his mission. The want of
it does not mean opposition. 1t
reminds us of the days when New
tried to make Kansas a
free state. Every one shouted for
it, but there were only a few
with John Brown and his Sharp's
rife at the front, who were will
ing to take off their coats" in
behalf of freedom.
If through the Commissioner
there is finally established here
an American sugar plantation, we
shall feel thankful that he came
here and told us what to do.

n Hawaiian paper says that
''the problem of procuring future
supplies of raw sugars for the
United States markets is causing
sugar experts and manufacturers
a little uneasiness." Perhaps the
managers of the trust may be suf-
fering from apprehension, but the
people, who have great confidence
in the future of beet sugar, are
looking forward hopefully to the
time when factories will be so nu-
merous in this country that the

Why is it that other religious

The "Gentile" farmer has been

All this Is the work of a great

BIZ 1T KNOWN TO ALL MIN.

In a free country the people have q
right to complain of the burdens placed
upon them.
Railroad corporations are creatures
of the people through the legislature,
and the same agency that gave them
life and fix and regulate their rates. If
we pay too high railroad rates, it is
solely because the people, through the
legislature, do not reduce them. We
cannot expect Rothschilds and other
non resident owners of these railroads
to voluntarily stop the sluice of money
we are so lavishly paying into their
pockets.
The salary of the Governor of the
great State of North Carolina with
nearly two millions of people is only
$1,000 and some think that too much

railroad official $40, OOO, $25, 600 and

THE JURY WILL TAKE THE CASE

It is a fact that the Rothschilde-
Morgan Hanna syndicate HEARTILY
favors the re election of Mr.. Pritchard.
Then he isn't a silver man.
1t is a fact that Senator ShSrman,
the king of goldbugs, favors the re-
election of Mr.. Pritchard. He can't
possibly be a silver man.
It is a fact that the Tribune, which
says it is a goldbug paper, favors the
re election of Mr.. Pritchard. No silver
about the man it favors.
1t is a fact that every goldbug Re-
publican in North Carolina favors
Pritchard. 1t is also a fact that every
goldbug Democrat in the State prefers
Pritchard, and some of them are Sc
cretly doing all they can to aid him.
His silver professions are absurd, to
say the least. Take the case, gentle
men of the jury.

FREEDOM OF

Some of the boiling Populists insist
that The PROGRESSIVE FARMER was
too severe on them last week; that this
paper has taught and practiced free
and independent thought, etc, but is
not willing to grant the boilers the
right to believe that Pritchard is an all
right man for Senator. If they be-
lieve it, enough said. But the point
we make is that no Populist believes
Pritchard is a silver man; no Populist
believes that it is good party policy to
re-elect him, no Populist believes that
P~ritchards course has been q consister t
one. For years the very Populists who
are now supporting Pritchard have
been loudly preaching exactly the op
posite doctrine to the Mark Hanna in
spired,rot they are now emitting from
their treacherous mouths.
We have great respect for the man
who believes in the gold standard. We
have profound respect for the views. of
a Republican or Democrat who really
believes that his party doctringEsare
right, but unreasonable contempt for
the Populist who processes to believe
that it is right to elect a gold standard

became the willing tools of a campaign
committee in the recent election fur
nishes us with another striking argu-
ment for the government ownership OF
these great monopolies. We are not a
free people so long es they can be
utilized for campaign purposes IN the
interests of trusts and combines.
The proposed retirement of the green
backs and the discussion of the Pacific
Railroad question will bring before
Congress the two strongest measures
of platform; and whatever Issues
the other parties may adopt, the logic
of events will so force upon both Con
gress and the people the consideration
of these measures as to overshadoW all
others, and win to our ranks thousands
of voters from both the republican
democratic parties.
LIVING ISSUES FOR THE people,.
These are living issues upon which
we shall grow. The urgent necessity
for them will appeal to the people,
groaning under the weight Of NC
Kinley prosperity" restored conf
dence," and the enforced idleness and
extreme poverty attending them. They
appeal with equal force to the business
man, coerced by the banks; to the
wage Garner, the helpless victim of
corporations and to the farmer, cursed
with mortgages and extorEionate
freight rates. They are issues free from
the charge of mercenary motives, to
enrich a portion of our constituency.
Let us act with patriotism, courage,
and sagacity. Let us lose no time. II
any lack incentive, it will be found in
the intense suffering everywhere and
in the increasing arrogance, lawless-
ness, and -heartlessness of the trusts
and monopolies. Against their power
we put principle; against their money
we match manhood, and urge a llpopu-
lists to continue this contest during the
next four years and then hold an early
national convention, to strike the key
note of the next Presidential campaign,
or, if desirable, establish an honorable
alliance on leading issues.
| also suggest that a national confer.
ence Of party leaders and workers be
held as Don ais practicable, that VIC
may have a full and free expression of
opinion regarding our future work.
We hope, therefore, that the reform
press will give the fullest possible ex
position of their views on this impor-
tant subject; and friends are in
vited to write me or our national
chairman, expressing their ideas on
the independent party action herein
proposed.

own banner, or continue as stragglers
