Committee on Sound Currency.—Chas. S. Fairchild, Chairman. John DeWitt Warner, Chairman Executive Com mittee, Calvin Tompkins, Secretary, 52 William Street, N. Y., 189—. Dear Sjb:— ln order to make the distribution of Economic literature by the Reform Club most effective, it is very desirable to have the organized cooperation of those in favor of “SOUND MONEY'’ throughout the United States. To this end we recommend the organization of - local •»Committees. Such Committees need not necessarily be of large mem-

bership, although this is desirable. Two or three men banded together in any locality can do very effective work towards organizing local sentiment in favor of “SOUND MONEY.” We would suggest that such Committees secure the addresses of farmers, tradesmen, workingmen and others, and subsequently use such lists for the distribution of printed matter. This Committee will as far as it is able to do so, forward to these local Committees for distribution, such literature as may be deemed best adapted to local requirements. In this way, assisted by the advice and active co operating of those who agree with us, we believe that the efforts of the Reform Club will be made most effective. Can you not arrange to effect such an organization? Awaiting your reply, I remain, Yours very truly, Calvin Tompkins. Sec’y.
