We will wager five hundred dollars that the following system will give the farmers and laborers the do sired protection : Issue sufficient money to transact the business of the country oa a cash baais; put it into circulation without the intervention of banks, atablish sub treasuries at central dis tributing points where the farmer can sell his non-perishable produce, then Jet the farmers fix a living price on their produce,, put prohibfcive tariff on their exportable produce and re serve to themselves the home market until the foreigners have exkausted their supplies, and they can fix their price and get it.

Polk makes it necessary that the affairs of his estate be settled. We can no longer look to him for any income to help in dull seasons to pay the bills of The Progressive Farmer, but on the other hand we must settle up some large accounts we owe, and settle them at once, too, 6r have trouble and extra expense. Not only are there ac counts against The Progressive Far mer that must be met, but there are also other bills, and quite large ones, too, which we have to meet. Now if our subscribers will be as faithful to us as we have been and expect to con tinue to be to them, we will be able in a very short time to get all these mat ters settled and go right on battling for the people. We did not think we would make any urgent call upon our subscribers to pay up back dues' and renew until later in the fall, but this necessity ia now laid upon us, and we feel confident the good brethren will not lay this paper down and neglect and forget our present needs. We have prepared a table above which shows the date of each issue of the pa per since Jan. 1, 1891, and up to June 11, 1892, the date of Col. Polk's death. Your label may not contain one of these dates, but it may contain a date falling in this period embraced in the table. If so, you owe us something, and to find the amount look on the table for the date on your label, or the date preceding the date on your label, and opposite this date will be the fig ures snowing the exact amount you were due The Progressive Farmer when Col. Polk died. These little amounts due us, if all paid in at once, will help us straighten out all our press ing obligations that promise us trouble if not settled at once. Brother and friend, this statement of the case is before you, and though it may be hard for you to raise a dol lar or two dollars, or even a smaller amount now, will it not be much easier for you to do it than for us to lose $4,000.00 or $5,000.00 "on account of your failure? If you find the amount you owe is less than $1.00, send $1.00 before August 20th, 1892, and we will enter you up a year and an extra month. If it is more than $1.00 and less than $2.00 you owe, send $2.00 and we will enter - you up two yeara and two months extra. Send us not only your own renewal, but get up a club and send along with it. You can do much good in ' your community by circulating this paper. In writing us always give the amount sent, and the name of the poetoffice to which your paper is going, and your own name plainly written. Let us hear from you at once, please. Yours, J. W. Denmark, Business Manager. THE MONEY QUESTION. Mr. Editor: A large class of writers and speakers seem utterly unable to comprehend the nature of money and the basis of its power and functions. Gold and silver seem to them to be ''natural money," as aipcaker once declared in my "hearing, but gold and silver are no more natural money than nickel or copper, and none of these four metals is money until the stamp of some government is placed upon its surface with an avowed declaration to that effect. Money is entirtly depend ent upon governmental laws for its power and functional qualifications, and nothing but law ever did or will create money and eadow it with potency. Now then, if law, and law alone, creates money, whtro do we find any restriction that comptls the use of gold and silve or forbids the use of any other material substance on which to stamp the fiat of the govern ment, which alone makes money t There is no such restriction, and only the customs of a barbarous and igno rant past compels us to still use and worship these precious metals precious because or their scarcity. They are no more needed to circulate as money and perform the purpose for which law creates money than are dia monds and sapphires, and until the people realize this fact and profit by it, they will continue to be victims of shy lock greed and the machinations of those who corner and control these metals. Of all the questions with which legislation deals, of all that concerns the welfare and prosperity of nations, none is greater than the monej ques tion. Money, which is the national medium of exchange for property and products, ltes at the very foundation of civilization, and is most essential to prosperity and progress. It is not only the greatest aid to civilization, the mightiest factor for good and evil in the world, but is so simple and com prehensible in its nature, power and proper purposes, that every person en dowed with common ense should find it no difficult subject to understand. But it is the business of bankers, shy locks, and money manipulators to con fuse the people with a multiplicity of words, and so mix theories and twaddle that ordinary minds give up trying to comprehend financial problems, as many do the 4 4 mysteries' of free trade and protection. By holding the fact continually before us, that money is simply the creator of man made laws, regardless of its material, much con fusion can he avoided. Let us next reflect on the fact that all nations make their own laws, and consequently each creates and establishes its own money, and nowhere in the wide world is there such a thing as international money. This last fact is a most important one to consider when financial schemers are trying to delude the people with the idea that an international confer ence is a necessity before Congress deals with the remonetization of silvor. Silver and gold have a market value in the world, regardless of any govern ment stamp, and as the bullion value of each is the basis on which nations receive and exchange these metals in commercial transactions, it is a matter that concerns no other country when domestic currency is under considera tion. What the United States sees fit to use as its material for money is no business or concern of any other na tion, and only the leading bankers and shylocks who through government prtvil. ge manipulate the currency for their own individual benefit, are inter ested in knowing what Europe thinks of our efforts to remonetize silver ; and still many people think we should as a nation defer all action until foreign representatives of other governments sanction cr condemn the movement What nonsense, when we consider that our money circulates only at home and is a legal tender for debts and dues in the United States alone. Let us make our money of that mate rial which our national representatives in Congress shall choose, and let gold and silver as commodities find their value in the markets of the world as does wheat, iron, tin, copper, or any other production . from the store-house of nature. As gold and silver are never money until so made by the stamp and fiat .of some government, and there is not gold and silver enough in the world to supply all nations with a currency of these metals, it is necessary to use some other substance, and paper, when endowed with the same legal quali fications as money made of gold and silver, is just as good and potent as a medium of exchange for property and products. Now, if paper money is good enough to supply a portion of a nation's needs, it is good enough to supply all, and under an established government gold and silver are absolutely needless. Every paper dollar which this govern ment ever issued without a restriction clause in its potentiality, had and exer cised the same power as the gold and silver dollar, and the only opponents found arrayed against the "full legal tender greenback, were bankers and shylocks. Their reason for fighting it was self interest and a desire to rob the people, and this fact is revealed in the notorious Hazzard circular issued in 1862, which stands without a parallel in the annals of scheming rascality. Said this circular: 44 It will not do to allow the greenbacks to circulate as money any length of time, for we (the bankers) cannot control them, but we can control the bonds, and through them the bank issues." And this is just what they have done, until our nation has become so afflicted with financial evils that revolution stares us in the face, unless the people rise up and break the bond3 that en slave them. The tariff question, on which both parties are harping to divert attention from the more impor tant one of money, is of far less importance- to our national welfare and should no longer blind the people to the real cause of our general and deep seated depression throughout the Union. The Hazzard circular will ever stand a3 evidence of the most damnable con spiracy against our nation's welfare and prosperity ever known, and the evils which have followed its success ful scheme for thirty years can never be computed or fully realized. Poverty, crime, wretchedness, insan ity and suicide are the legitimate re sults of conditions created by the monopoly and manipulation of money, and any government which permits a privileged class to control its currency will evenually enter the throw of revo lution and perish amid the ruins of it3 former greatness. Since 1873 we have gone from bad to worse, and the de monetization of silver, which followed the destruction of the greenback, marked an era in our decadence that should stand as a warning for all time to come, and never should the fight for righted wrongs cease until bankers and shylocks are ehorn of their power to further enslave us by monetary legis lation. Our - government in theory is founded on the will of the people and should be so in fact; but wnile a min ority of plutocrats control and run it in their own interest, the people will assume the condition of slaves and vir tually are such. All the legislation that has for its object the welfare of the people is instantly opposed by the banks and our moneyed aristocracy, and when they saw in 1862 that full legal tender greenbacks would destroy their power to enslave the people and rob industry of its fruits, they sent their agents to Congress, who. with the free use of money, shaped legisla tion so as to put untold millions into their pockets, and from that day to this they have controlled all financial legislation to suit themselves. We are on the high road to destruc tion, and our one-sided and unjust monetary systems mainly responsible for it. Rates of interest prevail in every section that industry can never overcome under the best or conditions, for the annual increase of wealth m this country is of far less per cenfcthan the lowest rate of interest; therefore, many are and must be robbed by usury and a monetary system that was in vented for that purpose. We have a vast number of farmers and others in the United States that are as much en slaved bv usury as the poor of Mexico is by that-sy8tem of slavery, and neither can escape from the clutches of their masters until legislation which made possible their slavery is changed. Well may Ben Butler predict war in the near future in this country, for all signs point to a coming crisis, and nothing but monetary legislation which our bankers and plutocrats with all their concentrated power persistently oppose will avert it. As power once obtainod is never relinquished except by force, revolution seems inevitable and must come unless the people wake up snd regain lost liberties, rights and powers through peaceful and intelli gent legislation.

Mr. Editor: Our Alliance people and lovers of reform were permitted to enjoy two most excellent speeches delivered to the public at the North River Altiance, of this county, recent ly. On invitation of our Alliance, Rev. Mr. Abernethy, of Beaufort, N. C, and Bro. Chas. L. Abernethy, who is now delivering lectures in this county for chgrand cuuso Oi reform, paid us a visit at the above-named time. A certain friend (?) predicted and offered to bet $5 that we would not have 15 persons to hear the speakers. Not being a betting character we did not bet with him, but we desire to state through your valuable paper for the benefit of this gentleman, who has been so eager in the past to see the downfall of our great Order in this county, that we not only had his predicted 15 but about 150. We have never seen better attention paid to any speakers than was paid to the3e gentlemen. Both speeches were driven home so forcibly that we heard men who before had been weak-kneed, and some who had never before been interested, say that they would no longer suffer the cruel bondage of moneyed tyrants. And, Mr. Editor, we want the world to know we, the people of Carteret county, ex- Eect to flaunt our banners to the reezes and fight for our rights and liberties. Our wives and children are in need. We see woe depicted on the countenances of our ..fellow men, and we have gone into this fight with the determination to win. Bro. Chas. L. Abernethy is traveling from county to county speaking and selling Alliance literature, and may God go with him and hslp him to per form nobly the great work he is pur suing, and may he continue to en lighten and instruct the people in this great reform movement. We are glad to see young men of -brains and talent taking hold of this work and striving to ameliorate the condition of the laboring classes of this country. From the reports our young brother is cer tainly doing good work for tae cause. Mr. Editor, you may set it down oe your memorandum that our people are going to fight. And may the working man of the North, South, East and West join hearts and hands and fight for their freedom with that same de termination that was illustrated so beautifully in the life of that illustrious patriot Col. L. L. Polk, who died fight ing tne tyrannical grasp of capital. Yours fraternally, JoeS Fulcher, Lecturer North River Alliance PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Excelsior, N. C.

Milestones in the Development of Politi cal Parties Since the Organiza tion of the Goverr, ment. 1884. GREENBACK NATIONAL, INDIANAPOLIS, MAY 28. ' Eight years ago our young party met in this city for the first time, and proclaimed to the world its immortal principles, and placed before the Amer ican people as a presidential candidate that great philanthropist' and spotless statesman. Peter Cooper. Since that convention our party has organized all over the Union, and through discus sion and agitation has been educating the people to a sense of their rights and duties to themselves and their country. These labors have accomp lished wonders. We now have a great harmonious party? and thousands who believe in our prmciples in the ranks of o her parties. 44 We point with pride to our his tory." We forced the remonetization of the silver dollar, -prevented there funding of the publio debt into long time bonds; secured the payment of the bonds, until the 44 best banking system the world ever saw " for rob bing the producer now totters because of its contracting foundation4, we have stopped the squandering of our public domain upon corporations; we have stopped the wholesale destruction of the greenback currency, and secured a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States establishing forever the right of the people to issue their "own money. Notwithstanding all ' this, never in our history have the banks, land grant railroads, and other monopolies been more insolent in their demands for further privileges still more class legislation. In this emergency the dominant parties are arrayed against the people andTare the ..abject tools of the corporate monopolies -. In the last Congress they repealed over $12,000,000 of annual taxes for the banks, throwing the burden upon the people to pay or pay interest thereon. Both old parties in the present Con-, gress vie with each other in their efforts to further repeal taxes in order to stop the payment of the public debt, and save the" banks whose charters they have renewed for twenty years. Notwithstanding the distress of busi ness, the shrinking of wages and panic, they persist in locking up on various pretexts, $iu,uuu,iiUO or money, every dollar of which the people pay interest upon and ntjed, and most of which should be promptly applied to. pay bonds now payable. The old parties are united as they cannot agree what taxes to repeal in efforts to squander the income of the government upon every pretext rather than pay the debt. A bill has already passed the United States Senate making the banks a pres ent of over $10,000,000 more of the peo ple's money in order to enable them to levy a still greater burden of interest taxes. A joint effort is being made by the old party leaders to overthrow the sov eign constitutional power of the people to control their own financial affairs and issue their own money, in or der to forever enslave the masses to bankers and other business. The House of Representatives has passed bills reclaiming nearly 100,000j000 acres of land granted to and forfeited by railroad companies. These bills have gone to the Senate, a body com posed largely of aristocratic million aires who, according to their own party papers, generally purchase their elec tions in order to protect great monop olies which they represent. This body has thus far defied the people and the House, and refuses to act upon these bills in the interest of the people. Therefore we, the National party of the United States, this 29 th day of May, A.D., 1881, declare: 1. That we hold the late decision of the Supremo Court on the legal tender question to use a full vindication of the theory which our party has always advocated on the right and authority of Congress over the issue of legal ten der notes, and we hereby pledge our selves to uphoid said decision and to efend the Cor stitution against altera- ons or amendments intended to de rive the people of any rights or privi- ges conferred by tnat instrument. e demand the issue of such money m uificient quantity to supply the actual emand of trade and commerce, in ac- ordance with the increase of popula tion and the development of our indus tries. We demand the substitution of greenbacks for national bank notes and the prompt payment of the public debt. We want that money which saved our country in time of war, and which has given it prosperity and hap piness in peace. We condemn the re tirement of the fractional currency and the small denomination of greenbacks and demand their restoration. We de mand the issue of the hoard3 of money now locked up in the United States Treasury by applying them to the pay ment of the public debt now due. 2. We denounce as dangerous to our Republican institutions, those methods and politics of the Democratic and Re publican parties which have sanctioned or permitted the establishment of land, railroad, money and other gigantic corporate monopolies; and we demand such governmental action as may be necessary to take from such monopo lies the powers they have so corruptly and unjustly usurped and restore them to the people, to whom they belong. 3. The public lands being the natural inheritance of the people, we denounce that policy which has granted to cor porations vast tracts of land, and wo demand that immediate and vigorous measures be taken to reclaim from such corporations, for the people's use and benefit, all such land grants as have been forfeited by reason of non fulfilment of contract, or that may have been wrongfully acquired by cor rupt legislation, and that such re claimed lands and other public domain be henceforth held as a sacred trust, to be granted only to actual settlers in limited quantities; and we also demand that the alien ownership of land, indi vidual or corporate, shall be prohibited- 4. We demand congressional regula tion of inter State commerce. We de nounce pooling," stock watering and discrimination in rates and charges,: and demand that Congress shall correct these abuses, even if necessary, by the construction of national railroads. We also demand the establishment of o government postal telegraph system. 5. All private property, all forms of: money and obligations to pay. money, should pay their just proportion of the public taxes. We demand a graduated, income tax. 6. We demand the amelioration of the condition of labor by enforcing the sanitary law in industrial establish ments, by the abolition of the convict labor 'system, by a rigid inspection of mines and factories, by a reduction of the hours of labor in industrial estab lishments, by fostering educational in stitutions and by abolishing child labor. 7. We condemn all importations of contracted labor, made with a view of reducing to starvation wages the work ingmen of this country, and demand laws for its prevention. 8. We insist upon a constitutional amendment reducing the terms of United States Senators. 9. We demand such rules for the government of Congress as shall places all representatives of the people upon an equal footing, and take away from committees a veto power greater than that of the President. 10. The question as to the amount of duties to be levied upon the various articles of import has been agitated and quarreled over and has divided com munities for nearly a hundred years. It is not now and never will be settled unless by the abolition of indirect taxa- . tten. It is a convenient issue always raised when the people are" excited over abuses in their midst. While we favor a wise revision of the tariff laws, with a view to raising a revenue from luxuries rather than necessaries, we insist that as an economic question its importance is insignificant as compared with financial isues; fr whereas we have suffered our worst panics under low and also under high tariff, we have never suffered from a panic nor seen our factories and workshops closed while the volume of money in circulation was adequate to the needs of commerce. Give our farmers and manufacturers money as cheap as you now give it to our bankers, and they can pay high wages to labor, and compete with all the world. 11. For the purpose of testing the sense of the people -upon the subject, we are in iavor oi suDmicung io a vote of the people an amendment to the Constitution in favor of suffrage re gardless of sex, and also on the subject of the liquor traffic. ' 12. All disabled soldiers of the late war should be equitably pensioned, and we denounce the policy of keeping av small army of office holders whose only business is to prevent, on techni cal grounds, deserving soldiers from obtaining justice from the government they helped to save. 13. As our name indicates, we are a National party, knowing no East, non West, no North, no South. Having, no sectional prejudices, we cm prop erly place in nomination for the high offices of state as candidates, men from any section of the Union. ; . 14. We appeal to all people who be lieve in our principles to aid us by voice, pen and voi-es. to be continued. - . . NASH COUNTY MEETING. Oakland. Mr. Editor : B y your permission I will writo to let and your many read ers hear how we are getting along down in old Nash. The County Alliance met at Nash ville in regular session July 14th, and was called to order and opened in due form by Vice President G. R. Marsh bourne. After the regular routine of business, the election of officers for the ensuing year came off and resulted in the fol lowing: President, G. R. Marshbourne ; Vice President, W. H. Robbins; Secre tary and Treasurer, C. H. Bains; Lec turer, J. P. Jenkins; Assistant Lec turer, J. C. Neal; Chaplain, Jno. T.. Fulford; Doorkeeper, J. Jerkins; Assistant Door-keeper, J, C. M. Strick land; Sergeant at Arms, N. Collins; Executive Committee J. C. Neal, Jno. T. Fulford and W. O. Duna. After a short recess, the Alliance re assembled and the officers-elect were duly installed, after which the Alliance adjourned. It was generally conceded that owing to the immense amount of business to be attended to, it was the most harmonious and orderly meeting -we ever had. There were not zo rr::.ny spectators as at some prior but the delegates were nearly r r: ent and seemed to know their xni. n. Fraternally, ' -' t C. H. IUrcs, Secy. -- The people's champion.
