A Disaster
Averted A Political Row
That was 4 Non-Partisan.
How are you
"Hello! Mr. Editor.
R "Hello! Major.
this- moroing?"
B. " Only tolerable. Mean' Betsy
had a row Friday, an' I can't get over
it."
R"Did Mrs. Bilkins get the best
of the fight?"
B 4Oh? there wasn't any fight. I
took to the woods just as soon as Betsy
got biliu' hot, an' stayed away all day
I reckon there would have been a dis
aster if I had stayed a little longer. A
mad woman is about the most ran-
tankerous anermal on the face of the
earth I've bin married thirty years
an' I reckon my life has bin in danger
pretty near a million times."
R "What was the recent trouble
about?"
B. "I guess it was about politic.
The row was 44 non partisan," though.
I waivo savin' a thn g m tavor or
against any perlitical party. I reckon
that is 44 non-partisan," ain't it? Betsey
'lowt d that we ought to have an extra
session of Congress to do up the Mc
Kinley bill, an' the Force bill. I told
her the was wrong ; that the big poli
ticians nearly all say there is no hurry
for we cin afford to wait a long time
fer any change. I told her we couldn't
afford to take the tariff off anything
excfpt toothpicks fer a year or two
anyway, an' then we would put it on
shoes or hats or eomethin' a little
heavier to make up fer what comes off
toothpicks. Betsey looked at me hard
enough to break down a brick wall, an'
eaid: 'Zeke, what do you mean?' I
said: 4 Well, that's bin tho policy
thirty years, an' the
growin' any better so
same plan will be kept
wanted to know if the
tariff would be reduced on anything
else. 1 told her I thought ma. v be poli
tics would be put on the free list. This
made her madder nor ever, an' she be
gan to s orm an' I thought the comet
would be shaken so it would fall on the
earth an' kill about twenty million
office seekers an' all the rest of us. So
I took to the woods an' stayed all day."
R. 44 Did you climb a tree?"
B. "No. But I at down on a log
an' put on my study in' cap fer about
four hours. I tried to figger out what
is agoin' to become of the country, but
I couldn't. I decided that the office
seekers would ruin it in a few years,
though, an' at the rate it is goin' now
another campaign will do the work.
About one person in a thousand in the
United States is an office holder, small
or large. Then about eight hundred
of the 999 who are not i i have been
promised an office in the future. About
one m every thousand is very rich an'
plutocratic. Six hundred of the 999
left have bin filled with prejudice an'
false teach in' until they are will in'
tools fer the plutocrats. If this is not
changed there will be big trouble of
some sort in a few years. Trouble is a
brewin'. The sun shines as brightly
as it ever did, but the wickedness of
the majority of the people will bring
calamity on us. There are thousands
of people all over the country who are

GATHERING AND PACKING
APPLES.
Mr. Editor: The little time spent
m cnmomg a laaaer ana piecing tne
apples off carefully into a basket and
not shaking them on the ground, would
well pay for the trouble m not having
them all bruised and unfit for market.
After they have been carefully gath
ered, do not dump them all into the
same barrel. A mixiure of all kinds
and classes will never do for the mar
l:et. A little time spent in sorting
them over, carefully selecting tne finer
specimens for one b trrel, the ordinarily
good for another, and tho-e only fit
for vinegar or home use, would well
repay for the time fpent in the fine
condition in which the consumer would
find thm. Place them into barrels
carefully, not letting them fall in,
shaking them lightly two or three
times while packing When full make
the cop layer as level a possible, letting
it rise a iittlo higher than the top of
the barrel, so that when the head is
put on it will slightly dent them. Never
use anything in bottom or top, or can
vass for a head. They should be so
tighrly packed that they would have
no chance to rattle about when shaken.
It is better to let them stay in open
piles a week or two before packing, as
some of the exterior moisture will
escape, making them less liable to de
cay. A simple contrivance is often
used by packers for placing the heid
in position. It consists of a plank on
which the barrel stands, into one end
of which is dovetailed an upright piece
of plank a little higher than the top of
the barrel A slot is cut m its upper
end, and a pin runs across to receive
the eni of the lever, which mav be six
or eight feet long. A round board is
4 a
usea as a roiiower to be placed upon
the head ; and across this board is
placed a block of wood about three or
four inches flat on the lower side, on
which the lever is placed. A moderate
pressure at the end of the lever will
bring the head in position, wnen it is
fastened by driving down the loosened
hoops and nxiling all securely. A
block nailed to the side of a ho lse, tree,
or am thing that will hold the end of
the lever will answer. Place the plank
down and put the barrel on. letting the
lever rest under the block. M rk every

CHARCOAL FOR HOGS.
Editor Farmers' Voice: We have
but little doubt that charcoal is one of
the best known remedies for the dis
ordered state irr.o which hogs drill,
usually having disordered bowels, all
too poor to pay their taxes now. They I the time giving off the worst kind of

don't st e any hope for them. I hope
the smart people will stop and think
up some plan to give -justice to these
people."
THE RELIEF FUND.
in which charcoal can be given is tho
form of burnt corn perhaps, because
when given in other forms the hogs do
not get enough. A distillery was
burned in Illinois, about which a lare-e
number of hogs were kept. Cholera
prevailed among these hogs somewhat
extensively. In the burning of build
ings a large amount of corn was con
sumed. To this burned and nartiallv
burned corn the hoes had access at
will, and the sick commenced recover
ing at once and a large portion of them
got well. Many farmers have practiced

Mr. Editor: To such men as take
no interest in politics, or have not the'
manhood to declare for a political
party, or the courage to vote their con
victions, this letter is not addressed. I
have no inclination to write you. But
to all such as have the wisdom and
judgment to lay aside partis in politics
when entering the sanctum of the Alli
ance, I shall be pleased to say a few
words. I am not sure, however, that
the above caption does not include
every member of the Farmers' A1U
ance. Within the last six months
many, from New York to Texas, have
passed this way, and the first Alliance
partisan is yet to come. True the
Alliance went into polities, and much,
if not quite all of our literature became
partis m, but the individuals remained
true to the Order. How is that? Will
you tell me? You are a Democrat, a
Populist or a Reoublican, I a Prohibi
tionist. We have this right. It is our
duty as citizens to be and no whatever
we conceive to be tor the best interest
of the people And yet I didn't carry
the Alliance into politics. Yi u didn't
do it. Though nobody denies that the
Alliance went into politics. It isadilii
cult matter to tell who struck Billy
Patterson. Billy received a blow, and
that a hard one. He will not forget it
soon. But no limbs are broken, no
blood lot, and he will grow stronger
from his boyish exercise. His blighted
romance will impress a useful lesson.
The whole occurrence was strange, and
we are inclined to ask ' where was I
at?" We seem to have just turned in
from a big spree ' beea on a tare with
the boys," and can scarcely realize
what has happened. We know that we
have been jarred, and feel somewhat
nervous and sore We took a big dose
of nervine on the eighth, and since
then the doctor has been to see us and
we are getting straight again.
Now, brother, the Alliance is our big
boy. He has been in error. He comes
up now and acknowledges it, and
promises to do so no more. Wh -.t can
we do but forgive him and help him
on his way? It would be heartless t
do less, cowardly to continue chafing
him with his fault.
As to our literature, I wish to appeal
to you to support The Progressive
Farmer If you could know how I
have felt toward this paper for the
past few months, you would agree that
m my appeal I am paying a great deal
I hh,ve had no sympathy with its prodi
gal course, and when its resignation
was offered to the Executive Commit
tee, I at once appealed to Bro. Alex in
der to accept it This was not done,
however, but it was re adopted at the
State Alliance with no restrictions I
grew so impatient with ita partisan
propens ty that I wi'hdrew my sub
scription, and later determined to be
gin, at my own expense, the publica
tion of an Alliance j urnal that should
be non-partisan I had written up
the policy of my paper and done some
other work, and its publication would
have begun, had not The Progressive
Farmer signified its intention to change
its policy. I am glad it has returned
I am willing to trust it, and to assist
in putting on the best robe and in kil
ing the fatted calf I have dismissed
my animosities, and with this isuere
new mv subscription. I trust you may
do likewise. Pardon me not because
have d-ne it. but because The Pro
gressive Farmer is now the legitimate
organ of the Alliance, tlaving promised
iu the future to abstain from all par
tisancv, it was re endorsed bv the
Executive Committee in a recent meet
ing at Kaleigh THE .PROGRESSIVE
Farmer ha done much for the Alliance
in the past. No other medium has dis
seminated the principles of our Order
as it has. Its renegade experience in
politics will only do it trood Let us
all now forgive and forget, fall into
ranks, take up the line of march in the
Alliance army and drive on to victory
with one loud ar.d long ''Ex eel si or."

THE IMPENDING CRISIS.
Mr. Editor: The indebtedness of
the United States is estimated at fifteen
billion dollars with annual interest one
billion dollars, making ei2htv million
dollars drawn from the channels of
trade each month and gorged into bank
vaults; nine million mortgages cover
ing the best property North, South.

credit and can borrow no more money.
Their neighbors teeing the fix the debt
ors are in, reluse Co mort trace their
property to get money. The price of
the leading products of the farm are
fixed in England by the creditor class,
below the cost of production, and the
farmers are on the road to bankrupt ;y.
As long as there were rich lands to
mortgage, the money c uld be kept in
the chaune s of trade Credit 1 ex

of this century an immense amount of
property will pass from the hands of
the masses into the control of the cred-:
itor class, a large per cent, of which is j
English, and we will have to all intents :
absentee landlordism established in the
United States. A crisis is upon this i
country paralelling that of 1816 to 1825
in England, and the result will be the
same. The English crisis was precipi
tated under a low tariff, and the conoi
tions about to precipitate a similar re
result grew up under a high tariff,
which proves conclusively that low
tariff and high tariff is no remedy for
financial depression. The English
crisis was the direct result of the credit
financial system piling up a mountain
of debt by accumulating interest and
congesting money to head centers, de
pleting the money from the channels
of trade, depressing prices below the
cost of production and making it im
possible to pay debts and taxes. The
English condition paralells ours, and
we are on the eve of repeating the bit
ter perio j of the English financial sys
tem. It was through the control of
the medium of exchange that 2 per
cent, of the population ot Egypt owned
97 per cent, of the wealth, that enabled
2 per cent, of the population of Baby
lon to own all the wealth, 1 per cent,
of Persia to own all the land and when
Rome went down 1,8 Q men to own all
the known world, and 100,000 men to
own all the land of England, Ireland
and Wales; and in 1850 37i per cent
of the wealth of this couutry was
owned by capitalists, in 1870 they
owned 63 per cent, and in 1880 30,000
men owned thre-fifths of all the
wealth of the country. The farmers
own less than 25 per cent, and pay 80 per
of the taxes. How loug can they con
tinue this and sell their produce below
the cost of production? A class that
cannot fix a pi ice on their labor are
slaves. When Rome, Egypt, Persia and
Babylon p rished there was nothing
known of a tariff
In the canvas just closed the R-pub
licans pointed to tho fact that the ou
put of wealth amounted to the enor:
mous sum of twelve billion dollars and
they said, how rich we are ; see what
protection has done for the c mntry,
and the farmers put their hands into
their pockets and found them emptv.
They looked around and saw their cot
ton, corn and wheat selling below the
cost of production, and they decided
that protection did not protect them,
and they decided to let the Republican
party per ih. The incoming adminis
tration will tinker with the tariff and
ignore the fact that three fourths oi
the volume of money is locked up, and
the interest from a mountain ot debt
is depleting the money from the chan
ntds of trade every day, and ?s nmnej
becomes scarcer in the channels ot
trade, values continue to shrink. They
cry we will give you cheap gooos, lg
noriug the fact that he who sells his
produce below the cost of production
is on the road to bankruptcy though
goods should sell for one fourth the
present price. As long as the cotton
raber sell cotton for seven cents a
pound that cots him nine ct-nts to
raise and loses ten dollars on every
five hundred pounds, they cannot buy
cotton go ids o$fc of the proceeds even
though the gools sold for one cent a
bale.
There is one and only one remedy
for existing conditions, and that is to
destroy the present credit financial sys
tem arid establish a financial s stem
under the full control of the producers
of wealth. This means that our finan
cial and tariff systems must be so ad
justed as to enable the farmers to fix a
living price on their produce. Any
thing short of this will prove an abor
tion. This will not be done as the issue
was not fought out on this line by the
victorious party. No such an d ju.-t
ment can be expc ed though Southern
and Western Democracy are in favor
of financial reform, but Grover Cleve
land, by association and education, is
opposed to financial reform, w hen
the test comes on financial rtform the
plutocratic wing of the Democratic
party and a large part of the Republi
can Congressmen will be found sold
against all financial reform, and the
large Democratic majority will disap
pear like the Democratic majority of
148 before this combination. Let the
people unite, without regard to party,
and be ready for the coming contest
that must be fought to a finish bet ween
plutocracy and the people, farmers
of America, organize and place your
selves- where you can fix a living price
on the products of your labor in 1896
and fiee yourselves from industrial
slavery. James Murdock.
EARLY AMERICAN CATTLF.
Genesis of the Trade in Bovines in the
New World.
The first cattle that were brought
into the American colonies were landed
at the James River plantation, in Vir
ginia, in the year 1607. They came
from the West Indies and were the de
scendants of the cattle taken to those
islands by Columbus on his second
voyage, in the year 1493. In 16.)1 sev
eral cows were lauded and again in 1611
about one hundred head more were
brought to the plantation. This, there
fore was the genesis of the cattle busi
ness' in America. Iu ' order to encour
age the industry to the fullest possible
extent an order was passed forbidding
the slaughter of any a iimal of the bo
vine kind under penalty of death Un
der this restriction the number of cat
tle increased to thirty thousand in Vir
ginia alone before the end of the year
1619. The first cattle brought int; the
New England colonies arrived at Piy
m u h in 1624. and were imported from
England by Gov. Winslow. Three
heifers and a bull made up the cargo;
-m color." the old record says, "they
were black, black and white, and brin
dle. " In 1626 twelve cows were sent to
Cape Ann. and in 1629. thirty more. In
1630 about one hundred were imported
