"REMINISCENCES OF THOSE GOOD OLD
TIMES"

Tiller Doesn't Regret That They Are Gone
Seeing a piece in THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, written by "Ruralist," on
the old times, it reminds me of fifty
or sixty years back when,the farmers
in my neighborhood used to pillow
with a small piece of sheet iron in a
V-shape and a wooden mould board
chopped out of a piece of wood to
turn the dirt. When I was a small
boy, my father went to New Barn
and bought a cast plow and the
neighbors thought it was a great
Improvement, and it was then. But
where would it be now? PeoDle
would not use such a one.
I also reo0llecs a farmer that was
considered pretty we'll so do; he
went to New Born and got a man to
put him up a buggy. And such a
one it was! You would not know it,
for it was heavy enough for a single
horse wagon.
In those times the lady that could
got Il calico dress was we'll dressed,
for the most of the people wore
homemade ~homespun, both ladies
and gentlemen, Sunday and Monday.
l never knew what it was 80 have
anything bought for me to wear ex
cept a cap and a hat until I went to
work for myself.
So, Mr.. Editor, I am so glad that
we don't have those good old times
that l hear people so often speak of.
We don't have so work in the fed
all day and pick or gin cotton until
8 or 10 O'Clock at night for the ladies
TO spin next day. We a work all
day and when night comes, oan sit
down by the Preside and read the
news and find out what is going on
in other parts of the world outside
home. TILLER.

follow largely the same business
principles as do the capitalists?
There are several reasons, we think,
why the masses do not succeed un-
der our present business system. In
the first place, the masses are not
united in any of the great essentials
Of success. Many of our people are
putting forth their best efforts to
succeed financially, but are trying it
single-handed and without the neces
sary capital, Hence the many fail
ures of the smaller enterprises
throughout the country within the
past decade. The big fish swallow
the little ones.
But you say that the big oompa-
MES combine their millions to &C
oomplish their purposes and what
can the poor farmers do against suoh
odds? This, all the more, increases
the necessity for the farmers to COM
bine and 90 operate In looking aftsr
their Own interests. The Farmers
Alliance defeated the aim Of the Jute
Bagging and Tie Trust a few years
ago and this concern was q oombina-
ton of large capital. Again the
fact that trusts and syndicates en-
ploy the most learned and skilful
lawyers as lobbyists to look after
their interests in Legislatures, and
the fact that it is common in our
day for officials of the government
to be bribed TO look after the interest
of monopOlists, in securing them
valuable franchises and laws favor
able to their interests, etc, are only
so many arguments showing the
superlative Importance of forming d
new trust company to be composed
of farmers, mechanics and all tho
performers of productive mental and
manual labor. This company, the
masses, to constitute q cooperative
brotherhood to look after the inter.
ests of one another in every depart
ment of productive labor in com
meroe and trade, at the ballot box
and in State and National Legisla-
lures.
Bro Harry Farmer struck the nail
on tho head when he advised farmers
80 vote for their own interest. The
trusts care nothing for party. They
vote for the man that will work in
the interest Of their business The
laboring man, and especially the
farmer, should follow the example of
the trust in this particular. LIST the
great masses of people be awakened
30 their W interests let them, like
the trusts, study the situation let
them form honest convictions of
right, and let the great common poo
pie think, talk, act and vote their
houesb con viotions OF right in all the
relations of liie-in the field, in tie
workshop, in the horne, in trade, in
church and as the ballot-box, and
there will soon be a change for the
better. More anon.

curious. If you ask the price Of
eggs you will be told 80 many for a
quarter, not so much g. dozen, and
sugar is almost invariably sold
at so much for 3% pounds or 2
pounds. I don't know how these
notions originated, but they are
firmly established.
The Pennsylvania Railway has
always been handicapped by reason
of the fact that their trains could
come nc nearer the CITY than Jersey
City, at which place ferry boats we're
used, involving delay and tedious
waits. But now they T going to
spend a little matter of forty million
dollars in tunneling under the Hud-
10 River into the city. They have
made large purchases of real estate
for landing purposes, and the tunnel
will continue under the city and
across East River, coming out again
in Brooklyn, thus constituting one
Of the biggest engineering jobs ever
undertaken.
THE CONDITION OF THE COFFEE MARKET
of the world is such az to cause anx-
iety among large dealers. Prices
are very low, and with tremendous
supplies coming, the outlook may
we'll cause CONSERVATION. The wants
of the world are supplied by some
thing like 10, 600, 600 bags of $50
pounds. This has been exceeded in
recent years, and the present crop
promises 15, O0O, 200 bags. What
would the South do if the cotton
market were in similar condition?
REDUCING POSTAGE ON PARCELS.
The retail grocery trade in various
parts of the country have at various
times worked themselves into a fine
frenzy yer the suggestion that mer-
ohandise up TO the amount of 30
pounds weight be carried by mail at
only 8 cents per pound instead of 16
cents, as at present. "If our GUS
toners can use the mails at such
rates we are undone," they say.
'EThey will send TO the mail order
houses and to the department. g.. res
for all their groceries, and we may
we'll hang up our fiddle" There
is perhaps some truth in the argu
ment, but the majority must rule,
and reduced postage is sin the air.
In fact, the tendency is TO get goods
direct from the manufacturer to the
consumer, and the low postage rate
would be taken advantage of by
many manufacturers who would not
care a whit il not only the retailer
but the wholesaler as we'll, oouIo be
entirely eliminated. More than once
the wholesalers heard the re-

To the Democracy
OF the State.


Dsaocwcy If Baifimorc CITY 70 be
sure 70 register aud tudeclare their
Party utilization as Democrats, SO
as to be qualified TO take part in the
Primaries in the City next April.
The results of the first days reg
istration are highly gratifying and
we have every reason TO believe that
al the coming sittings Of the officers
of registration in the City our full
vote will be enrolled and their affili-
alton as Democrats most willingly
declared.
l now especially address myself
to the Democracy Of the State. In the
counties the offices of registration
will be open for registration on Tues
day September Both and on Tues
DAY October 7th between the hours
OF = A. N. and p. NJ. and on the l4th
OF October for rcUisioa only.
Note CAREFULLY these dates and see TO
il that all Democrats, who have thus
far Jailed to register, no longer post
pone the performance of this most
pressing duty; and that all those
who are now for the first time emit
tied to be enrolled as voters go and
register.
In addition TO securing the regis
tration OF all qualified Democrats,
careful and close examination OF the
books of registration should be made
for the purpose of striking of the
names of all that have died or be-
come disqualified, and also of all
names enormously or fraudulently
registered.
1t is believed that in some of the
counties many names will be foand
on the registration books which
ought never TO have been placed
there.
These names should be stricken off.
so that only the names Of bonafide
citizens Of the State and real resi-
dents in the several election dis
tricts shall be suffered to remain.
earnestly urge you TO organize
thoroughly in each election precinct.
Get a full list of all registered voters.
!Scrutinize these lists. Mark the
names of all persons who are not
known to be actual residents of the
precint, and challenge, in the mode
pointed out by law, the right of these
persons to have their names kept
upon the registration books.
Take this work in hand at once.
1t will not be difficult or tedious If
you begin it promptly by means of
active and intelligent committees in
each precinct.
The result of this diligent and
vigilant labor will purge the books
of large numbers of names of per-
sons who are not entitled 10 vote
aud who should not be permitted to
control or influence our election, and
viii greatly help us in our effort TO
restore TO Maryland q solid delega-
ton of Democrats in the House OF
Representatives.
The Democrats of Maryland should
exert themselves TO the utmost to
aid in this great and important
achievement.
Your first duty ROU is to get the
name of every qualified Democratic
voter on the registration books and
10 cause these books to be purged
of all disqualified and fraudulent
names.
When this task is thoroughly &C.
'complished nothing more will be
needed but TO arouse the enthusiasm
of the rank and file of our party in
all sections of the State, and the 4th
Of November will surely witness a
great and gratifying Democratic
victory.
