Topics of the Day.
Many prominent Democrats find
lU'publu'aiis of the country have
Interviewed during ihe last week on
the rf-H ults of tne recent elections.
Tlie Democrats say that it Wi-H a 'ic
tory '.V)r tariir reform and a "sound

it was a victory for protection and a
.sound currency", and from Wall
Kivot up comes the echo, "ies,

Wh.en (ov. Jtussell was interview
ed on the meaning of the vote in his
.State, he is reported to have said:
It means that MassaciiU' etts is
earnestly for tariff reform on the line
of free raw material which has been
the chief issue in this State. It also
means that she is nMiily nnd ar-
sively for pound currency."
What he means by "sound curren
cy" we do not know, but suppose he
refers to the dear, scarce, high per
cent money that is now blighting ag
riculture and making paupers of eve-
ry wcaith producer of the nation.
And what kind of tariff reform is it
that he congratulates the country
tn? Tariff reform on the fine of
free raw materials. What does that
mean and how will it help the labor-
or the farmer, the wealth producer?
his materials cheaper, but still allows
him to charge you the same price for
the products of his factory, thus es
caping his share of the burden of
government and putting the extra

, , ,, . . ,
but lhl;i 13 compounding a felony.
Orover Cleveland, when interview
ed upon the resu'ts of the election,
is reported to have said :
'Any man who still thinks that
tariff reform is a settled and absolete
issue, or that the importance of sound
and safe money is a question upon
vvV.ich the people can be bunded, is

Tho Century magazine is trying to

it will publish a series of articles on
"Tho Farmers' Discontent," and kin
dred subjects. If we are tp judge
by the past course of that magazine
it is In our opinion the hired tool of
monopolists and gold-bugs . It is un
necessary to say to the farmers, bo
ware, for they already have their
eyes open.
In New York one party triumphed,
in Ohio the other party triumphed,
but in each case it was a victory fcr
plutocracy. That is the same agen
cies and influences that elected Flow
er in New York, defeated Campbell
in Ohio. The Money Devil is con
trolling those who have for years
controlled both parties. Freemen,
shall it continue? - " :

WHO COXTIIOLS, HOW ANI

Take :i map of the United States
and draw a line from foledo, Ohio,
to Noriolw, Va. Agriculture is the
great predominating occupation on
side of that line, and manufac
ture and commerce tiiO leading occu
pations on tlie other side. On
the agricultural side, the strength of.
the two political parlies is so equally
divided that each must depend on
victories on toe other sitle of the
line to gain a national election. This
gives the small section northeast of
theiiao the bu'anco of power,: and
enables it to dictate action on those
k licies in which it is most interest
ed. High tariff and dear money are
tho greatest objects of effort in that
section., because high tariff enables
their factories to make more money
from the farming section, anel be
cause clear money enables them to
corner the money market, and apply
the power cu money to oppress by
is sc ircity to extort gain from the
agricultural side of the line. These
two policies of government being
the most dear to that section which
holds the balance of p wer, and on
which bo.h political parties depend
for the sinews of political war
rnonev and votes oach tries to so
frame its platform as to capture the
must money ?.itl votes lrom that sido
the line, and no matter whicli gets in
it immediateip inaugurates measures
to prevent any legislation which
would alienate votes from the party
in that favored section. The tinan-
c'al policy of one party is just as
great an injustice to the great major
ity of the people as is that of the
other. The bosses of both have been
and are working in the interest of
the concentrated capital that furn
ishes tho campaign tunds, anel for
the last twenty-five years they have
framed the policy of the administra
tion on this subject. The tariff poli
cy of the Democratic paity only
lacks a fractian of being as objection
able, from a people's standpoint, as
is that of the Republican party.
Both are for high tariff to catch New
Englauel votes If the Democratic
bosses were sincere in their cry of low
tariff, why did they not propose a
tariff of an average of 5 or 10 per
cent instead of contending for an
average of 41 per cent? A Demo
cratic ii percent tariff does the man

A PERMANENT NATIONAL DEBT

When you hear a man say "I

he will stick.
Labor creates about ?1, 500,000,00"

000 each year of paying the interest
on our debts. -
British capitalists have about $ 10,
000,000,000 in our industries. So
they bleed us to they extent of 1,
000,000,000 a year.
l'he interest-bearing debts of this
nation amount to nearly $10,000,000,

per cent, is 3,200,000,000. .
Farmers owned Go per cent, of our
wealth in 1SG0, and it was not mort

anel most of that is uneler mortgage.
One half of the wealth oi this
country is owned by seventy fami

the rest of the country and intend
to foreclose soon.

An agricultural paper that does

I'ennsylvauia Farmer.
The farmers are right. If there
is to bo a large profit made on our
great cereal yield, they are entitled
to the benefits instead of the idle
schemers who howl ou the produce
exchanges and raise grain only with
their mouths. If Europe has to pay
a big price for our grain let the farm
er and not the speculator be the gain
er. Lincoln Call.

duty off of sugar makes it cheaper,

LKK AT LI,NOltt.
tSpec. Cor. to Progressive Farmer.)
Mr. Editor: I was present at tho
meeting of the District Lwture-5 of
the St h district in lx'noir on the 1st
intt., for the purpose of organizhig
thc Lecture Bureau, and I want tru
readers of tho Progressive Farmer
to know one t r two things thr.t oe
euraed on that occasion. A quorum
cf the County lecturers not being
pr-snt, Iiro. BulhT postjuned the
organization of the Bureau till an
other time, and audrsed the audi
ence in a public fpvtch of two hours
length, and I wish to add right here
that it has rarely been the good
pV asure of this scribe to listen to a
b. :(?; -one. The court house was
fi u and cheer alter cheer went
r t.edi up front that large audi
i ce as they listened with bated
1 eath to the recital of the wrongs
t .at have been peret rated upon the
h jnest 'yeomanry of this fair land of
ours. Bro. Butler showed up in
l is masterly style th enormous ini
quity of our national banking sys
tem, the unju.-t cla.-s legislation that
we have been suffering under for
the last quarter of a century, and it
was right amu-ing to see Home of
the hard old political sinners quail
under the terrible arraignment. It
was thought- when Bro. Butler
touched the Sub-Treasury plnn that
there would be a row and sure
enough one brother arose and re
marked that the -rguments of Bro.
Butler were very plausible but that
there might be seme things be
tween the lines, as it were, that
were not fully brought out and
asked that he he allowed to say a
few words, when he (Bro. Butler)
was through. His request was gran
ted anel the brother subsided for the
time being. It was interesting then
to hear Bro. Butler' straightfor
warel, common sense analysis of the
plaii, his remarks were so convinc
ing that when a call was mado for
hands up in favor of tho Sub-Treasury
plan or something better it was
unanimous. The noes weie called
anel not a single hand went up, even
the brother had betn convinced, it
seemed, of the error of his way.
The Alliancemen of Caldwell county
are almost a unit in their demands
for the Oeala demands, the Sub
Treasury plank included. Really
there are not a half dozen men in
tho county who are opposed to them
anel they try to raise a breeze on
every "occasion to makeup in bluster
what they want in numbers- At
the conclusion of Bro. Butler's
speech he called for the brother who
wanted a eiivisiou of time, telling
him that he could have the audience
a.-, long as he wanted them; that his
train was then due. Some ol the
antics have started the report lhat
Bro. Butler stayed in Lenoir tw
hours after the speech. The facts in
the case are these: Bro. Bttler was
iu formed after he le.'t the court
house that he could not reach the
train then in time so he stayed till
after dinner and then took private
e-onveya. ce to Connelly's Springs to
make connectin with tlie night train
toAsheville. I was pleased with
Bro. Butler's speech. I have heard
many speccher on the great reform
movement but his was the most
convincing that I have yet heard.
His earnestness of manner carries
conviction with it. We have made
no mistake in placing oar banner in
hi; hands. Il could not have bee
entrusted to a more lovaJ, patriotic
and truer Son of the good oldXorth
State. Let us hold up tlie hanels of
our worthy President in his manly
tight against the plutocratic money
powers tnai are trying to enslave
our people. C. C. Wright

keeoers of the Gov. Lighthouse at
Snd Beach, Michigan, and are bless
ed with a daughter, four vears old.
Last April she was taken down with
Measles, followed with a dreadful
Cough and turning into a Fever
Doctors at home and at Dotroit treat
ed her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly, until she was a mere "hand
ful of bones." Then she tried Br.
King's New Discovery and after the
use of two and a half bottles, was
completely cured. They say Dr.
King's New Discovery is worth its
weight in gold, yet you may get a
trial bottle free at the Drugstore ot

Ids body looking as I h: v his mninniy
in the museum at Boulac, hh soul w;i!
become an unwilling tenant. Tho
Sphinx nl'o was to mo a f tern mon
strosity, a statue carved out of rock of
red granite sixty-two feet high and
about one hundred and forty three foct
long, and having the head of a man
and the bodjr of a lion.
We sat down In the sand of the
African desert to study it. With r.
cold Hm'lo it has looked down upon
thousands of years of earthly history ;
Egyptian civilization, Grecian civiliza
tion, Roman civilization; upon the rise
and fall of thrones. Innumerable; the
victory and defeat of - the armies of
eenteries. It took three thousand
year, to ;naku one wrinkle on lib rel
cheek. It is dreadful in ita stolidity.
Its eyes have never wept a tear. Its
cold ears have not listened to the
groan? of tho Egyptian nation, the
bivden cf which I tried to weigh lat
Sabbath. Its heart Is stone. It cared
not for Pliny when lie measured it in
tho first century. It will eare nothing
for tho man who lxk into its imper
turbable countenance in the last cen
tury. EGYPT WIMi Yi:T ItKVIVK.
But Eisrypt will yet come up to tlie
glow of life. The Bible promises it.
The missionaries like my friend, good
and great Doctor Lansing, are sound
ing a resurrection trumpet above those
slain empires. There III be some
other Joseph at Memphis There will
bo some other Moses on the banks of
the Nile. There will be some other
Il3rpatia to teach good morula to the
degraded. Instead of a destroying
angel to slay tho firstborn of Egypt,
the angel of tho New Testament will'
shako everlasting life from his wings
over a nation born in a day.
When, soon after my arrival in Egypt,
I took part in tho solemn and tender
obsequies of a missionary froiuour own
land, dying there far away from the
sepnlchers of her fathers, and saw
around her tlie dusky and weeping con
gregation of those whom she had come
to save, I said to myself: "Here is self
sacriQco of the noblest type. Hero
heroism immortal. Here Is a queen
unto God forever. Here is something
grander than the pyramids. Here is
that which thrills the heavens. Here
is a epecimen of that which will yet
save the world."
Goodby. Egypt! This sermon finds
us on tho steamer Ifinerva in the Gre
cian archipelago, the islands of the
New Testament, and Islands Pauhman
and Jbhannlan In their reminiscence.
What Cradshaw'3 directory is to travel
ers in Europe, and what the railroad
guide Is to travelers in America, the
Book of the Acts in the Bible Is to voy
agers in the Grecian, or as I shall cad
it, the Gospel archipelago. The Bible
geography of that region Is accurate
without a shadow of mistake. We axe
sailing this morning on the same waters
that Paul sailed, but In tlie oppite
direction to tliat which Paul voyaged.
He was sailing southward and we north
ward. With him it was Ephesu?,
Hoos. Rhodes. Cvnrus. With ns it Is
reversed, and is Cyprus, Rhodes, Coos,
Ephesas. There is no book in the
world so accurate as the Divine Rook.
Jly text eays that Paul left Cyprus
on the left We, going in the opposite
direction, have it on the right. On oar
ship Uineni were only two or three
passengers besides our party, po we had
plenty of room to walk the dsck, and
oh, what a night was Chrh-troas night
of 1SS9 in that Grecian archipelago
islands of light above, islands of beauty
beneath 1 It is, a royal family of islands,
this Grecian archipelago the crown cf
the world's scenery set with sapphire
and emerald and topaz and ehrysopra
sus, and ablaze wita a g!ory that seems
let down but of celestial landscapes.
God evidently made up his miad that
just here be would demonstrate tire
utmost that can ba Gone witn isianos
for the butiScation"of earthly scen

The steainer had stopped during the
night and in the morning the ship was
