I their names and the names of i embers, with 50 cents, and wo will forward charter at once. All the legions chartered in 1823 and 1794, nearly 1,000 in number are eari t-tly urged to send ten cents per membc? at once. Dues are not compulsory, but we depended on you and gave al! our time free of charge, and put in over 7700 of our own money during the past two years. We can not do that again. A small sum from you would furnish ample funds. Ten cents from each member of the legion would give us means to organize ten thousand leI gions. We urge all the devoted, patriotic men and women who are able i to contribute to send money at once to ■ start this work. We have paid the I bills long enough. The case rests with . the people. If they want to win th ?y i must be organized. To accomplish that ! result money must be provided. It takes the services of a stenographer | and a typewriter and one clerk all t ie • time now. Members of my family - hrve done this work without a dollar l of compensation. We can not do it any Unger. Our means were long ago exhausted. , , t i t i_

I have taken this load upon me again with the definite understanding that help will come. We should be able to organize the w,ork so that I could be in the field all the time. When I served as commander of the Grand Army I filled 156 appointments in 38 states and territories, traveled over 40,000 miles and recruited 100,000 men and organized the Woman’s Relief corps. I am ready to do that work for humanity, for the People’s Party, if means are provided. Not a day should be lost. The enemy are organized. We can array the grandest organization the world ever saw, for we believe that God is with us and will give his mighty help if we .will arise from our slumber ami fait into line from ocean to ocean. We can win the great strike for the people at the ballot box. Let everyone in line with the People’s Party organize the moment they read this call. We want especially the aid of the women and young people. We want glee clubs. Let the boys organize drum corps to lead the great processions that congregate at our meetings, and let those who lie afflicted on beds of pain on account of the burdens cast r.non them, or are so poor they have no heart to work, pray for the deliverance of the peprle. Let no one be kept out of the lesion on account of poverty. Legion buttons, a beautiful design, can he nroourred of George F. Washburn, lock fbox §594. Boston, at 15 cents .each, PAUL VANDERVOORT.

ABOUT MONEY.

A Few Word; Abnn* Tt« T ce Function* an <1 Va ’ u Metallic mor.oy is'the money of barbarous peoples. Paper money is the money of civilized nations. There is no intrinsic value in a twenty dollar piece. Tlmre is no intrinsic value in any piece of monev. The money stamp of the government fostrovs al! intri'wi-? vali’i’'. When gold pr I silvc- pre coined into money their intrinsic value is destroyed. “The government stamp makes the Clancy.” It is rot the iiatrinric value, but debtraying value that we demand in our money. Any money is as good as the authority that issues it. One kind of money is as good as another to pay your taxes. A sound r-i'.'erntnent makes sound money no matter of what material. Where there is no government, there is no money, however much gold and silver there may be. A. dollar is a dollar so long as it has the government stamp upon it. The countcrf'iting laws punish the crime of imitating the government stamp. The laws that punish counterfeiting tp’-ie no accoun. of the material moon which the < mii.tm’feit stamn is placed. If you make a 2 > piece out of full five ! Usra’ worth of ?■;;] ’ you are neverthoI (CSS P. counterfciier. i “The (lemanc for moray is equid to I the demand for all other things.’’ There is not enough money in tb" -y.'- -to nay i p'-r eeiit of t’- ■- toLel indebtedness. There is not enough gold in t > o-'---Ty to pay one-fourth of the iuL .os of ■ >er debts. There is net enough money in circuu tion to pay the.interest on our lie';!... wont M r oney the people of fl - fmiud States are doing business on a b: rt- r systm .. ! U’j.b r tlm rule o F Shprmm and Cl;'¥ n - 1 nd oit money volume shrinks ns our pcpul;tion and rrrdu.ctmn increase. It is to Uae interest of t’m money ■ ] >’>.'ei’ to bo’-e money made of a iuat?i i; 1 that;-'a he “cornered.” It is to the interest of all but the money-lending classes, and those with fixed incomes, to hove the money volume increase with the production ard : population. ] There is less money in circulati y. , than when our population was less than

one-half what it is now. ' Paper mm ’s riot redeemed when gold is given in exchange for it. No money is ■ • deemed until it is accepted in pay-mt of t-m debts or some useful c- livable article. Confidence is aa essential fleeter in any money system; but if the people ■ lose confidence in the government, they i lose confidence in the monetary system. A government that surrenders . the : rights of the people to a money ring ' opght to be, and sooner or later will be i “altered, amended or abolished.”— I Appeal.

Ain’t it Funny

The people own and operate the postal ' system. I The people own and operate the judi- ’ ciary system. i The people own and operate the pc ■ ■ lice system. I 7he people own and operate t|ie fire system. The people own and operate the army nd navy. The people own and operate the ’ streets, highway and bridges. I The people own and operate the tax ; systems. The people own and operate the school systems. The people orvn and operate the prison systems. The people own and operate the insane sy steins. The people own and operate the election systems. But the fools who suggest that the railroad, telegraph, coal and oil systems should be added is too crazy to be allowed to run at large. Funny, ain’t it? —State Guard, Pueblo, Colo. The republicans made the law and the democrats issued the bonds. Bota old parties are in favor of the gold I standard—l ess money and more misery.

Famers' Alliance.

Having accepted the position of lecturer for the fourth district at the hands of President J. F. Willetts and the executive committee of our order, I take this means of opening communication with all who may see this notice. H- is my desire to enter at once upon the discharge of the unties of this position, and I ask the hearty co-operation of Ml Alliance members to the end that the greatest amount of good ■, ay be < i one d u ring Ihe co m ing ear. It is proper to state in this announcement that the amemi 'd constitution of the national F. A. and I. U. provides for t! 'lecturers, to be appointed by the president and the executive committee, but provides no cuinpensatiou for such lecture s except as may be agreed en the lecturer and those wh< call for his services. I hop" that officers of county or sub-alliances, er individual mem-ber.'-of the order, that desire a visit from your lecturer, will wr’ue to me v.’ithou’ delay and I will endeavor to arrange for a visit at- sm.'ii timers will be most oijveni-'.it for all concerned, and upon sixo terms as can bo •nutuallv agreed upon. The absence of political excitement dnrhi"' th" coming year will make the building of our order on a business basis much easier than in a campaign year when P /iii ics at-sorbs the attention of the people. In tlie past the coouerative and business features of the order have been neglected and we have depended too ipuch upon the social au l educational

work to lowp up the roll of membership. This I'onrse has always been attended with misatisiacrory result's find during the comin - year it will be the chief ■ care of our office; to perfect the uustuess met hods in tneir various'lines so that.'membership in the alliance shall be profitable, not alone socially, morally and educationally, but financially as well. I wish to be fully informed of the needs of the order in all parts of this district as quickly as possible, and to this end, ask all members as well as officers to write me icily.sb that I may beadvised of your condition an I recuiremcnts at once. The fourth district includes Indiana. Illinois. lowa. Kansas. Nebraska: South Dakota. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Crusting that the coming year may be one of great prosperity to our order, and i hat each member will contribute his or her cost efforts to promote this prosperity, I remain Fraternally yours. C.

Officials of the Department of Agriculture are much vexed at the action of the Governor of South Dakota, who has issued a proclamation prohibiting the bringing of cattle from Texas into that State for one year, owing to the prevalence of pleuropneumonia among them. Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Agricultural Department, says the proclamation ivas entirely uncalled for, as there is neither pleuro-pneumon-ia nor Texas fever among the cattle of Texas. Secretary Morton will probably call upon the governor of South Dakota for a bill of particulars as to that proclamation. which is certain to bo made use of as a weapon by those European countries which have shut out our cat tie on the plea ; that they are diseased.

The Sunny South.

Thomasville. Ca.. Mar. 14. 1 shall try to give a description of Thomasville, the winter re- ;• >rt of Georgia. This section has advantages over Florida as i’ie atmosphere is dryer and the temperature more uniform, as it ; ; sufficient distance from the ■■'a to av oid the north-east storms which sweep down the eastern coast. The town is situated in ihe extreme south-west of Georgia on the Savannah, Florida and Western R. R. It has several good hotels and many notale northern people visit it in io winter, Gov. McKinley and rife being here at this time, 'here are also many elegant private residences in and about lie town. The drives are delightful and i siting and shooting are abundnt. Mr. Stewart, landlord of he Stewart hotel, is rather a peculiar man. One of his peculi•l’ities is posting notices about i iie house. He has a permanent blackboard over the fireplace on • liichis inscribed, “My time is hve minutes faster than the railroad. This is the only second class hotel in America. Guest-s ■ ; li please report bite, sight or noli of bed bugs.'’ Bui with oil his peculiarities he knows ~ow to rim a hotel. They have ■>. tine resort in the pines here le natives have named Yankee Paradise, Au inquisitive ya-n----i-.ee, the other day, asked a resilent what they lived on here, hisanswer was, “Ou sick yankces : rincipally.” Another feature of life strikes lie stranger as peculiar. It is ■he chain gang to which criminals for petty offences are sent- , meed, and with braceletson their ■..ikies, attached to a chain, they i ..o about like hobbled animals, pud work the roads. White men j nd women are subject to the , a,me punishment for the same ! -ffences as negroes. A white man | is a better chance of being ; nailed out than his colored broth- | er. The entire gang has an pverI eer and a guard. The women 1 have no chain attached to their I limbs, and generally do the odd ,obs such.as carrying water for .he rest of the gang. The water of Thomasville is good, being supplied by artesian .’ells. Add to this the salubrious uniform climate, and the immense pine forests, and I know of no more desirable place for a winter resort especially to an invalid. particularly one who has pulmonary trouble. There is little sickness except as northern people bring it. I think there is no part of our county i hat has been so little affected by the late panic as the south. I K.
