If these clemer.t3 are found in the
cotton plant, evidently they must have
como mainly from tho soil. Tne soil
then is impoverished by the crop to
that extent, aud tha rule of common
sense teaches that unless you pay back
to the soil what you take from it, scon
your soil will fail to produca a crop
composed of these elements. How, in
the easiest, cheapest or best way, to
make your soil rich in these con3titu
ent elements of the cotton plant and
keep it well stocked with them, is just
as essential to the success of the farmer
to know, as it is f or a merchant to know
how to koep his stock replenished with
just that class of good, which are most
called for by his customers, and are
essentials which they mu.-t have.
Oae important element in the suc
cess of the farmer is labor. Work,
but work a'l you may from sunrise to
sunset all the days of the long year
through but if you put cotton seed in
a soil which has been robbed of every
essential element or even one or two of
them, or the proportions broken even.
No cotton will come to pay you for
your labor. It is, then, as important
to know your soil, and the crop you
wish to produce as it is to labor. The
day has passed when the farmer had
only to know how to plant and work a
crop. Th3 original soil is worn out.
brain, as well as brawn and muscle,
must now be used. And the brain
must now do the most important work
on the farm. Our farmers should re
alize this and be &ure to give their chil
dren every educational advantage possible.
THE SITUATION.
How the North Carolina Delegation
Stood at St. Louis and How Some
Things Were Cone.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Concord, N. C.
I think the People's party has reached
that point cf its existence where it can,
by taking advantage of certain oppor
tunities, go forward to greatness and
victon ; or, by being entrapped by cer
tain leaders and influences, it can be
obliterated from the face of the earth
in a very short time. "To be or not to
be, that is the question." I know the
millions of its champiors all over this
country would rush forth any day to
fight its open enemies and die in their
boots rather than see a single thread
torn from its silver banner. Yet, sirs,
there is a secret enemy, a silent, de
vious devil that is today lurking near
the hearc of our party which is setting
its net to bind the party in its iron
grasp 30 that it can never rally from
this deadly e ffect unless we, the masses
of the p ?ople, rush forth and snatch
our luvid party from the hands of this
sulking devii and place it beyond tho
reach of eu?picion.
At SC. Luis the other day our whole
party orgai. z ition for a time hurg
upon a very ter;d:r thread hung be
tween life? ard death and it was al
most an accident that saved it from an
ignominious death. Tho leaders who
were entrusted with the safety of the
party came in au inch of leading it into
tbat valley of desolation the Demo
cratic party yea, they even lead it
there, and only the almost superhuman
work of the masses saved it and
snatched it all torn and bleeding from
such detestablo companionship. Do
we want to longer truet this party in
the hands of such men? If they will
ruin us once won't they do so again?
Under its present leadership our forces
are being disorganiz d, every wheel
has been held fast for months and
month?, and our oeoDle are d if tins
away like the leaves of autumn, and
our "big" men sit back at the Lindell
Hotel and caucus with Democrats and
listen to Democratic promises and
hearken to Democratic lies while the
tue patriots cf the People's party are
ignored, their wisdom is scoffed at,
their demands are hissed, their plead
irg3 aro unheard.
I atk every delegate to St. Louis if
thf-se tniogs are not true. I believe
that tho People's party should be for
Populicts. I believo that there are
many of our leaders to day who at
heart are eneanea to our party. If not,
t'iv do we see the pad spectacle of our
leaders working and voting for Mr
Bryan, tho chief of Dtmcrats, and
Mr. Sewall, tho prince of DemocrtP,
while they cuss out every man with
manhood and patriotism enough to
publish their traitorous actions?
I appeal to the Populists of North
Carolina if they are not tired of such
Democratic ruie? I have bsen sneered
at for months because I told the people
wherein they were being crucified up-n
a cross of ambition, but I am glad that
my course is now being vindicated by
every day events. Every day some
honest man says well, Kestler, you
were right about this matter, and from
now cn I'm going to do a little think
ing for myself. Didn't I tell you ail
mcnths ago that our loaders were go
iag to land 113 in the Democratic party ?
Are we net lanced there if you vote
and work for Mr. Bryan, a Democratic
nominee? In St. Louis the middle of
the road men agreed, in order to pro
vent the Bryan Democrats from stam
peding tho convention and nominating
Mr. Bryan and Mr, S3 wall, to nominate
the Vice-President first. The North
Carolina delegation had in caucus
agreed to support the minority report,
i e , to nominate Vice President first.
Our State leaders, being Bryan Demo
crats, came to our delegation and
argued very eloquently and at length
with us to vote for the majority report.
Such was the pleadings and promises
that 85 of tho votes were cast as they
dictated, but ten of them would not
yield to their solication and were cast
for the minority report. After some
time the majority of the delegation saw
the w isdom of tho ten delegates and
they came over to the middle of the
roaders. Then cur leaders, seeing that
they were defeated, jumped on the side
of tho minority report and claimed the
victory as their, afters they had done
all in their power to win so as to take
up the presidential contest first and
thereby nominate Bryan and 8ewal.
I appeal to every delegate there if these
aro cot facts. Ask the men who
changed their vote upon pleading and
who afterwards changed ic again when
they saw themselves fooled if these
things are not true. And yet they say
that these men decided the question!
If they had decided it Bryan and Sewall
would have been nominated to day and
the Populist party would now be only
a dream of nothingness, an echo of by
gone hopes. It may seem strange that
70 of North Carolina's votes went for a
Democrat against a Populist when 60
of the votes were for a Populist and 35
for a Democrat, but such is the case, j
We in caucus polled the sentiments of
each delegate and it was fully under
stood that CO votes were to go to a
straight ticket, but by manipulations
the Bryan Democrats changed the en
tire result.
First. By delaying matters until a
number of straight Populists had to
leave for their homes and when the
final count was made only a few of us
were present.
Second. By unduly irflueccing some
by false representations.
Third. By pledging North Carolina
to policies that were the desire of the
leaders and not the voice of the dele
gates.
Majir Guthrie, who was one of
Bryau's chief boot-licks, made a sickly
speech in which he pledged our State
for Bryan when 60 of the 95 votes had
just been polled and leund favorable to
a straight ticket. I asked our spokes,
man, Col. Harry Sk nner, to give us
middle of the roaders only a few min
utcs to show our views of the matter,
but he refused to do so.
Senator Alien and the entire machin
ery of the convention were run in tho
interest and by the dictation of the
Bryan Democrats and for the good of
the rotten Democratic party. A true
Populist could not get recognition in
thi3 Democratic &how. No wonder the
people are grumbling at tho mixed up
state that we are in. And it won't be
much wonder if their vote is split
when the ides of November come
around.
Mr. Butler and several of his boot
licks were handsomely ensconced at
the Lindell Hotel, the ofHciial hea?quar
tersof the Democrats, while we humble
Populists fared the best we could in
humbler hotels. A leader who is too
nice to board with the men who ele
vated him is too nice to be further
trusted by them
In order to prove my statement, I
give a list of the delegates and the way
they said they wanted to vote just be
fore the vote was taken. Mr. Ayer,
the Secretary, if he has his minutes
near, can bear me out in this fact:
For straight Populist ticket: Jen
kins, Qaeen, Herron, Waller, Leonard,
Strowd, Jr. and Sr., Kestler, Hodges,
Garrett, Harris, Foster, McGreggor,
Caldwell, Koontz, Birker, Kinsay,
Newsom, O'Berry, Rimsey, Ray, Ayer.
For Bryan: Guthrie, Butler, Sr. and
Jr., Skinner, Kitchen, Lloyd, Scrat
ford, Dula, Henry, Martin, Barkley,
Fountain, Shuford, Wilcox.
With three exceptions all these were
present in the caucus and this is the
way they wished at that time to vote
on first ballot.
It was published and well understood
by all that Mr. Bryan said he would
not accept the nomination unless Mr.
Sewall was also nominated ; yet this so
called Populist convention nominated
a Democrat unconditionally, with no
pledges or promises whatever from
him or any cf his co adjutors. If the
Democrats he.d given some evidences
of good faith ia the matter there might
have been some reaeoa in co operating
with them, but they did not. If they
had pledged themselves to take down
Mr. Sawail and vote as one man for
Mr. Watson in return for our thre
million votes, or if they had, also,
agreed to stand on the Populist plat
form, there might have been some
show of sense in considering such
propositions, but they utterly failed to
give any concessions whatever, and in
the face 0? all this the Populists were
partially swallowed. The leaders are
responsible for it all, they wanted to
turn the whole Populist organization
over body and soul into the Democratic
camp. And the delegates who repre
seated the masses of the voters are en
titled to the giory of saving the party
from such a disgrace. As an example
see our leaders pleading with the North
Carolina delegation, trying to influence
them to vote to nominate the President
first, which every one knew meant
Bryan and Sewall as the nominees and
then necessarily to compel the annihi
lation of the People's party. A leader
ship that would not cill the convention
when it ought to have been called (be
fore either of the two cn vention and
which lead the party into a hole when
they had the opportunity of leading it
to victory, is not entitled to many
flowery encomiums from me, yet we
see the same leadeis upholding the
banners and again getting ready to
place the party in other compromising
positions.
These gentlemen wouldn't even help
us get the party out of the hole they
had put it in. The only thing that will
preserve our party, preserve its honor
and its greatness, will be for the people
to rise up in their might and run the
party for the good of the crganizition,
for the preseivation of its principles
and the salvation of the country. No
man can have power free and unlimited
without eventually transcending his
authority and wrecking whatever he
is monarch of. Let us have a party
of, for and by the people, or let us quit
business.
i Some months since I advocated co
operation with the silver Republicans,
atd Ob ! what a dismal shout went up
from thtse Bryan folks because it was
not principle! Just see how they bel
lowed for 4 principle, principle!" No
party can fu?e without being absorbed,
they said. And the first thiDg these
"principle" angels do is to fuse with
the grandest humbug on earth, tho
most unreservedly goldbug extant, the
Democratic party. Euch hypo. -racy is
too evident to even argue. It is "prin
ciple" with them to turn our party
over to the Democrats, but it would be
a disgrace to have an honorable co
operation with honorable silver Repub
licans. This same set of "principle"
cherubs are now, after they wt re foiled
in their attempt to nominate Mr.
Sewai), a national banker and co opera
tion tool, cussing out Mr. Sewall and
s lying that we won't support him, and
they iurn right around and boom for
Governor Major Guthrie, a corporation
attorney. Great country, indeed ! I'd
like to know why we can't have one of
the many able and honorable farmers
of North Carolina to lead a farmers'
movement?
I would like to know why the Pjpu
lisfc party has taken upon itself the
duty of giving every dead du ?k, every
broken down politician from the old
parties honorable positrons and not
recognizing at all the abJe and earnest
men who built this party from a tense
of duty and conscience. I say away
with these old worn out politicians and
tricksters and give us the young, fret-b,
manly blood of Populism in our coun
sels. So long us these old moes-backs
and manipulators are allowed to dictate
to our party, it can never prosper.
These fellows never cane to us until
we made it possible for somebody
to get offices and they want to be the
' somebody." I appeal to the patriot
ism and manhood of our party to rally
to our State Convention and let us
have a new deal; let us let the people
have a ay so ; let us bury the traitors.
If ten men in the St. Louis Conven
tion from the little State of North
Carolina could save the party organiza
tion, then why can't ten men in North
Carolina save the State organization?
Come down to Rileigh, boys, on the
13 ih, and let us prevent this sell out(?)
to the Democrats that our leaders are
contemplating. Will you do it? No
matter how humble you are, no mat
ter how ugly you are, no matter how
poor you are, come there and help us
save our party, aud if you don't come
then, I fear it will be good bye to our
grand party, that we have toiled so
hard to build up, and that we love so
dearly.
Scm of you Pc p llists cussed me out
some six months ago because I told
you that some men would land our
party in the Domoc-ratie camp. I ask
if my prediction hr s not been carried
out, partially, and if they are not pre
p iring to carry it cut entirely.
View the landscape over acd see
where you are at, and remember that
to day i3 the time to act, "to morrow
never comes." We men who made so
many sacrifices to buiid up this party
will not make another one, if this one
is obliterated by demagogues. We are
too tired of toiling for naught as wo
noped and thought we were building
to the good and giory of humanity and
our country.
I warn our peopb against the ten
dency of things, and beg them to get
down to a people's rule or the jig is up.
