't. - - a The Progressive Farmer, August 28, 1900. jSS STATE ALLIANCE HEETlilQ. jjad a great State meeting last We do not use the adjective at" unadvisedly. The meeting oreat in that it was dominated broad and noble spirit the true ance spirit ; it was great in that 4 and judicious plans were made tlie -ork of re-organization that f0f think all will call great; it was at i tliat ifc dealt the death blow the prejudice against our Order Lt has been decaying so rapidly Lin? the past year. It was a truly meeting and all felt that it was ood to be there. " Like soldiers eager for battle, we . -p been for a year impatiently &ac . i i? . -praitinir ue orji 01 re-organiza- Now, we nave the order to v to work and we commence consciousness that our tion. char: m-th tne 'filers the State Alliance delegates ! -have planned so ably and wisely ; that our cause is so just ; that our officers are so in sympathy with our liais and purposes, that we cannot tno failure. And that was the belief of the farmers who gathered jt -Headquarters," near Hills boro, last week. They knew the ate of feeling in their respective localities ; they were determined and enthusiastic. Perhaps it is well that we did not actively begin re-brgani-ation last fall. Certainly the con ditions were not so favorable as now jnd the campaign of education that lias been conducted by the Alliance has brought thousands into full sympathy with it who were doubtful or lukewarm a year ago. But now the fields" are ripe for the harvest. The result will be told at the State meeting a year hence. And the delegates were confident that our strength will be more than doubled by that time. In fact, judg ing from what we have heard from ill sections of the State, we should not be in the least surprised to find it five times as great as now. All that is needed is a thoroughly wide awake membership, feeling the neces sity for personal work, realizing the broad purposes of the Order and the folly and harmfulness of all preju dice.and the duty of doing all things in a spirit of determination, charity j md friendliness. Let every member I resolve now to work during the next Vea.r tor the upbuilding of the Order more earnestly and unceasingly than ever before. "The mill cannot grind with the water that has passed." We must seize opportunities as they come. The ormortunitv for re-or- x. x. ginizution is now ours, and this is the time to work not next year or he year after. You must harvest your grain at once when it ripens, and we must reap the Alliance har vest at once, if wise. The most important work of the meeting is given elsewhere in this LvUe. in tllP sTimta rf nunlnfinn j nrifl fcports adopted. Good work was ijne all along the line. The attendance was better than at year. The delegates were thor- "h-going Alliance gentlemen, men have adopted progressive meth- 'kof farming, earnestly in favor of vacation, anxious to destroy the prejudice against the Order, and kady t sacrifice personal ambition to it irood. Alliance gentlemen,we : we went early and stayed late, ,Jig constantly with the delegates, 'l we did not hear an bath, a pro fane expression, a smutty joke, nor we smell the odor of liquor while -ere.

The editor of The - Progressive Farmer isv deeply grateful to his brethren for their kind words and expressions of appreciation, of The Progressive Farmer's work.; With all the power we possess we have fought for the Alliance and1 every principle of its Declaration of Pur poses. Our heart is in the work! jWe rejoice at every f orwar4 step taken by the Order and feel the necessity for redoubling our efforts when any ground is lost. We expect to do our part for the Order and we believe the brethren will stand by the Or gan. Helping each other, working for each other, let us keep at it. until we again place our organization in the proud position it once occupied. At the State meeting last year, Democrats, Populists, and Republi cans were present. This year each of these parties was represented, and the Prohibitionist party as well. In the work of re-organization, as. in the list of officials, all parties will be represented. The charge of parti sanship received its death blow last year, and this year it was buried be yond resurrection. And if any so called Allianceman, forgetting the non-partisan character of our Order, fails to do anything in his power to remove old worn-out prejudices, or so conducts himself as to make out siders or ex-members feel that mem bers of all political parties have not equal privileges in the Alliance, he is untrue to the Order and a stumbling-block in the way of re-organization. Let there be no prowling about the grave of the miserable prejudices that we have buried for ever. And now the plans have been laid, the officers chosen, and the work is to begin. The command is truly, that we go forward. Like .Paul of old, "forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forth to those things that are before," let us press forward until full success crowns our efforts. And the Alliance expects evert man to do his duty ! GOOD LEADERS. The officers elected by the State Alliance for the ensuing year are men well qualified for the great work they will have to do. Presi dent Graham is one of the best farmers in the State and a good busi ness man. He has never faltered in his devotion to the Order. The con stant attention he gives to all mat ters affecting it is evinced by the number of sound suggestions con tained in his address, given else where in this issue. ' Vice-President Paschal, while not an active farmer, is an excellent man and a firm believer in Alliance prin ciples. Secretary Parker has performed all his duties so ably, has kept his office in such close touch with the brethren from all sections of the State, that is not necessary for us to say a word in his favor. In many ways the brethren manifested their high appreciation of his good work. Lecturer Bain is a worker, as he has proven to our satisfaction. With the more favorable conditions for reorganization, the brethren expect him to improve upon his already ex cellent record ; and we do not think they will be disappointed. We might write at length of our earnest and energetic Steward Mitch ell ; of our worthy and lovable Chap lain Mercer ; of Doorkeeper Lane and Sergeant Lane, always true to the Order ; or our President pro tern.. Prof. Graham, whose efficiency in that position is as marked as in his excellent school; of Bro. Denmark, whose untiring work was properly appreciated but space forbids. Suf fice it to say that the Order is in good hands and that we believe every officer will do his dutv in the work of re-organization that is to begin at once. , It may not be out of place .to say that the members of the Executive Committee elected at previous ses sions, -whose terms have not expired, have won the gratitude of the Order for zeal and devotion to duty. We do not write this to please the brethren named, but assure the rank and file that they are following ex cellent leaders, whose planning will doubtless make for progress. THE M ASSETS .

Now, without abandoning its pre-eminence in that direction, each number dem onstrates that in its other features it is seeking to prove itself the equal of any of the high class periodicals.

"Peking: Its Life and People" is illustrated with rare and authentic pictures gathered by Isaac Taylor Headland during his ten years' professorship in Peking Uni- Iversity, "Charles Lamb and his Dream Children" will touch every mother heart with the infinite pathos of a love unsatisfied.

No progressive farmer is content now to use one of the old ' high wheeled wagons when he can get a "Handy" for less money. This is a question every farmer should Consider before his fall haul ing is on hand. One man with a "Handy" will do nearly as much work as two men with a high wagon, and the broad tires of the "Handy" prevents rutting, and roll easily over ground where a narrow-tired wagon would mire. 5 t? Electric The handy wagon with broad tires has come to stay. The leaders in their manufacture is the Electric Wheel Co., Box 93, Quincy, 111. They make also, low steel wheels, with any width tire, to fit any wagon. Send for descriptive catalogue and prices. You will be surprised to learn how cheaply you can get a set of wheels for your old wagon. We. hope all Progressive Farmer readers will consider this matter at once. If the sincere, honest men who sup. ported the amendment to rid the State of trading , in ofiice, and the negro cry in politics make a fight now for free speech, independent thought and anti-"Redshirt"ism they can accomplish much good, but if .they submit to the domination of rings and, cliques the amendment will produce little good effect.

The McCormick Harvesting Machine Company of Chicago, has been awarded the Grand Prize on Harvesting Machines at the Paris Exposition. This is the highest award. The McCormick Company also received the highest award, a gold medal, on binder twine, for the superior quality of its product. Special twine machinery from the celebrated McCormick twine mill was exhibited to the jury and awarded a medal. The McCormicks have received the largest number of awards, as well as the highest awards made to any American exhibitor. In addition to the Grand Prize on machines and Gold Medal on twine they have received two medals in the department . of metallurgy for superiority in . forming metals into special parts for machines; in the department of machinery a medal for factory machinery, and also silver and bronze medals in other classes, . six medals in all, besides the Grand Prize. The International juries of the Exposition have recognized the great revolution wrought by McCormick machines and this large num. bei' of awards is a great triumph for America. In addition to winning these awards, the Gold Medal and 200 francs, the single high est award for binders, was won easily by the McCormick Binder at the field trial at Coulommiers on July 19, against all comers. This is the greatest and most important trial held in France during the Exposition year. PREPARE FOR THE TWENTIETH CEnTMRV, Each incoming Century is an eclipse of the past.
