There are lot of big strapping boys
in Big Springs that do nothing but
loaf about the streets, at least we sup
pose they do nothing else, as they can
be seen at almost any hour of the day.
This is bad thing for 9the boys, and

at home. Idleness has caused the
ruin of many boys, who would per-

good and useful citizens.-Pecos Times

fences, and will run line from the

D. A. Robinson, state organizer of
the republican league of Texas, has is
sued circular to the officers and clubs
in this organization. In it he says,
among other things: 'Should we lose
control of the next house the advan-

ments of our matchless army and navy
would doubtless be lost and an ad
ministration that has commanded the
admiration of the people of this nation
and of the world would receive re-
buke. humiliating, undeserved and far
reaching in its demoralizing effects
We are reasonably sure of Increasing
our delegation to three congressman
and possibly more and to that end we
should bend every effort"

CRISIS PAST
Administration Believes Spain Will
Finally Yield.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The ad-
ministration regards the crisis of the
peace negotiations as safely past,
through the occurrences in Paris yes
terday.
The president and his closest advis-
ers are highly grstified with the
vindication of their belief, so conf
IDENTIFY expressed, that Spain. while
resisting the absolute cession of the
Philippines, would not dare to with
draw from the conference.
It is now considered certain that q
treaty of peace satisfactory to the
United States will prevail.

Cleveland County Alliance.

As Cleveland county seems to be 81.
lent, I will give you q brief sketch of
the county meeting, which was held
with Wilson Sub. Alliance. Every
sub In the county was represented by
almost a full delegation. We had quite
a lively meeting. All present aeemed
to be determined that the Alliance shall
put on new life. There was a good
deal said about guano. We want a bet
ter guano and pay for it in cotton at
q certain price. 1t is hoped that the
brethren will take hold of this. Win
one fourth of the cotton crop as pay
for the guano, and that bill off our
hands, we may be able to hold a part
Of what is left, hoping the price will
advance. The guano companies, with
~one-'ourth of the cotton crop in their
hands, will interest themselves in rails
ing the price of cotton, and in my
Judgment the more people or especially
the more manufacturers interested, the
more likely is the price to go up.-A

We demand that no land shall !.

purposes or by railroads in excess ~

ExECTIoN OF UNITED STATES SENATORS
We demand the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote Of the
people. That each State shall be ii.
vided into two districts Of nearly eonaI

be 80 framed in the future as not II

possible in the hands of the pe0nIo
and hence we demand that ell NstinnSl
and State revenues shall be limited ~
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly al.

(e) We demand that postal SAVING,

f) We are unalterabIy opposed to

DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
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
efectually annihilate the perniciou
lobby in legislation, we demand direct
legislation by means Of the initiative
and referendum.

As an exchange medium it always rep
resents the value that exists in the last
product or thing for which it was given.
When the seller of the COW took other
things for the money, it redeemed
itself, and so it continues to do
as it is exchanged over and over again
for other things of value.
Here we get sight of that bugbear
redemption Unto gold dollars) with
which bankers and usurers brighten
the people and thereby keep up a sys-
tenn of interest robbery to further en-
slave those who are already opposed to
hard times.
When one kind of money is used to
redeem another kind of money las it is
now it stamps it with fraud, covers it
with infamy, and blasts it with false
hood. SAMUEL ARCHER.

NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Adopted at Washington, D. c., February
6, 1906.

Adopted at Washington, D. c., February
6, 1896.
WHEREAS, The Declaration of Indes
pendence, as q basis for q Republican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
"That all men are created equal;
that they are endowed with certain a.
alienable 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"
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 q monopoly n 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.
FINANCE.
We demand q 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.
() We demand a graduated income
tax.
(G) 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.
6) The telegraph and telephone,
like the postofice 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.

Burke County Alliance.

Our County Alliance met with Mt.
Pleasant Sub. Alliance on the IL inst.
The President being absent, Bro D. H.
was elected President pro tenn, and the
usual business transacted. We had a
small attendance, but better than some
heretofore, and great enthusiasm and
brotherly love prevailed, and all ex-
pressed a hope for the order to build
up here in old Burke county as soon as
we get our sample shoes on hand.
On motion, We adjourned to meet on
Saturday after the second Thursday in
February, 1898, at which time we ex-
pect to have samples shoes on hand
and to select and make an order for
shoes at once.
AS a rule, we are poor, financially,
here, but that does not xcuse US from
wearing shoes, for we must and will
have them, and we expect to wear our
Alliance shoes, if they come in any
way near our expectation.

Cumberland County Alliance had a
very largely attended meeting at the
court house in Cumberland on the 18th
inst. Eleven Sub. Alliances were well
represented, and paid their dues to
the county secretary. The meeting was
harmonious and enthusiastic. The
Business Agency feature of the County
and State Alliances was discussed at
length, and county secretary was liz
structed to request our State Agent to
at once send blank bonds to the
different subs Of our county {;
also, to our county Agent. 0! course
it was expected by many of the breth-
rem to see sample shoes from our fac
tory at the County meeting, but the
letters of Bros. Denmark, Hoover and
Parker in THE PROGRESSIVE Farmer
satisfactorily explained why there were
no samples present, consequently there
was a call meeting appointed Thursday,
