NoW-TO WORK.
SAMUEL ARCHER

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The Charlotte Observer, and other
goldbug papers are warning the farmers
to keep out of the Alliance. Why are
they doing this9 Because they fear
the power in organic alton. As long as
they can keep the farmers and day la
borers scattered they will be at the
mercy of lawyers and non producers,
who are to day organized in every coun
ty-yes, every township. Educate your
uniformed brother. Teach him that it
is not the negro that is causing him to
sell his cotton for four cents. Teach
him that it is not the negro that is
causing him to have holes in the bosom
of his pants. Teach him that it is not
the negro that is causing his children
to go without an education. If you
do this land it is a duty you owe your
family, your God and your country to
do it,, you will have a power behind
the throne two years from nova
power that will be able TO dictate to
your law makers. You can Gt they
refuse TO make pledges) dictate to them
on the stump and defeat them at the
polls. G. to work during the winter
when work is slack. Support reform
papers. Discuss farm matters at your
alliance meetings and other ma tiers
that effect your welfare. Leave the
negro out. That question belongs to
others. There is not a negro in the
Farmers Alliance, or the Populist par
ty in North Carolina. Get yourself in
shope to demand a hearing two years
from now. J. SOssAMAN.

and from financial and commercial
bondage.
The day of the political boss and the
towering political legislator is rapidly
approaching it's sunset; because the
industrial people are learning to know
what they want. Tt is not smart lead
ers nor popular candidates in whose
hands to trust all their hopes for deliv
erance, but they now want and need a
accumulation of fundamental and
specific principles, with a complete re
organization Of the people on them in
OF der to assure eventual success.
Had the conflict in 1868 ended with
the first days fight at Pittsburgh
Landing, the Union forces would have
been whipped and the aus Of chattel
human slavery established, but COM
plete reorganization brought glorious
victory the next day. Just so will it
bring eventual victory to the oppressed
people to day in their struggle for de-
liverance from industrial bondage.
We are not fighting for negro domi
nation Ghough our fusion leaders made
US act as though we were), but we are
contending for the equal human rights
of the people who produce the wealth
of the nation with all others of its citi
zens, and we will have them properly
established before the conflict is ended,
as surely as there is a lst G ID in heaV
en-, and there is.
Fraternally yours,
SAMUEL ARCHER

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The following was written several

Well, it's over with and I am glad of

q true Populist, and know that | was
so in principale under the old Alliance
demands, but even that is not sufficient
in accomplishing the political reform
ends now required by the industrial
people.
Thirty years ago we had a war, and
the negro was made free as a result l
accepted the situation. 1 shall not
make a bed fellow of him, neither shall
I be frightened at him or his ghost
Yesterday 1 did not vote for any man
except VIM. Lambert for State Sen
ate and jeff Hyams for Sheriff of Mitch

man I can no longer vote with gold
bug aristocracy to continue the en-
slavement of the white people Of North
Carolina, whether it be dished out to
me as Republican fusion hash, or as
Democratic soup with ''nigger" sea
soning. am not shivering from fear
of the ''nigger," but / am trembling
from cold and hunger from want OF
food that my labor has justly earned,
and which bonds and banks and corpo-
rstions and trusts and tyranny and
legal robbery have flched from me IN
the last thirty years.
Did the last legislature strike even a
single blow at these enemies of white
humanity that are tentold Wors and
dangerous than the ''nigger"9 Did the
legislature OF 1898 or Of 1895 do iti
Did the legislature or Congress for
thirty years ever aim at its We can
trust these old mammon- Worshippers

The demands of our Alliance are
good, but we must have a new, straight
out political organization that will
stand for a legal tender money that is
an honest measure of value and that
the producer OF wealth can get for use
without paying a sinful usury to shy
lock for. Then experience has taught
us that we who are TO live under the
laws must have g chance to vote for
or against them after they are passed
by q legislature or Congress. That is
the Referendum.
Now will be tBe time for the work

all over the Nation we can see the legi-
innate result of fusion. True, il did
not come the first trial, nor the second,
fully, but 1.-The third time lie the

ditch of defeat, not in an honorable
standing, but with disgrace on our ban
ner and shame In u Jul party face.
No man can say I deserted our III or
left the party when / knew it was in
error and was struggling up to what
l believed was sure defeat, for even
this last election I voted what was go

(OFFICIAL)
NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Adopted at Washington, D. c., February
E, 1896.

WHEREAS, The Declaration Of Inde
pendence, as a basis for a Republican
form Of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
THAT all men are created equal;
that they are endowed with certain Il
alienabIe rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness; that to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
governed" $500
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form of government, pri-
vate monopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether of
the means of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly in private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be,
shall appropriate the same by right Of
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest of, the whole people.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1898-11-29
NsPORTATIO

Relying upon the good, common
sense of the American people, and be
lieving that a majority of them, when
uninfuenced by party prejudice. will
vote right on all questions submitted to
them on their merit; and, further, to
~eftectually annihilate the p~ernicious
lobby In legislation, we demand direct
legislation by means of the initiative
and referendum.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1898-11-29

(c) That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up one industry at the expense
of another.
Cd We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands Of the people,
and hence we demand that all National
and State revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad
ministered.
() We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of savings
of the people, and to facilitate ex-
change.
G) We are u~nalterabIy opposed to
the issue, by the United States, of in
terest- bearing bonds, and demand the
payment of all coin obligations of the
United States, as provided by existing
laws, in either gold or silver coin, al
the option of the government and no,
at the option of the creditor.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1898-11-29
FINANCE.

We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
means of distribution of this currency,
directly to the people, at the minimum
of expense and without the interven
ton of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the bust
ness of the country on a cash basis,
(G) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
(H) We demand a graduated income
tax.
(a) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to effectually con-
troll all rates of transportation on a
just and equitable basis.
() The telegraph and telephone,
like the postof1ce system, being a ne
cessity for the transmission of intelli
gence, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest OF
the people.

A Life Insurance storv

The manager of a life insurance com
pany, DESTROYS Of increasing business in
New Jersey, selected an old friend of
NINE TO build up an advertisement on
says a writer in the New York Press
The idea was to insure the gentlemen g
me Tor about $4,000 and spread the news
all over the state, in every nook and cor
ner of which he is known, so that ali who
heard it would hasten to take out a poll
cy. AT the physical examination the doc
tors agreed that he was simply perfect
IN every way except in the matter Of pulse
neats, which were so rapid that the chief
examiner refused to pass him. ''Come in
again when you are leading a duieter life .
SAID the manager appealingly. We've
got to have you" Disappointment follow
ed two other examinations for nothing
could stop the awful gait Of that pulse.
few months after the manager lost
hope he met Mr. c. at the LAWYERS
CLUB, and said: Look here; that doctor
who refused to pass you is dead / wish
you would give us another trial. Maybe
the new one is less stfictn II will oblige
you, with pleasure my old friend replied !.
mot that I care for the Insurance, but
to help you out" But the new doctor was
not less careful than his predecessor. The
pulse went like a trip hammer. and Mr.
c. stayed out. The matter was dropped
again until last June, when Mr.. c. was
sent for in haste by the manager, who in
formed him, with rejoicing: ''Mr. c.,
the doctor who examined you last is dead.
We have new one. Please give US an
other chance to run you in" OF course.
But the new doctor proved stricter than
his predecessors, and as the pulse still rat
tied on Mr.. c. was again rejected A
week ago the manager was heard from
by telegraph: please come up. The new
doctor is dead. Give us one more chance.
Got liberal chap now" Mr.. c. tele-
graphed back: rs your mans life in
sured? With. three dead ones on my
hand, dislike to endanger a fourth. >
There the matter rests. Mr.. c. is 70
years old
