See For Yourself.

It is a matter of no little curiosity wherever the Archer literature has been introduced to know “how” the organization can transact business, effect great volumes of exchanges without the use of money. It does not claim to do entirely without money, more than do the banks in settling their vast exchanges with but practically 4or 5 per cent of actual money. Reference is made elsewhere an entire issue of Archer scrip which for years passed current in one community, that was called in, redeemed, in course of business, much of it so worn by use that the reading is actually obliterated, and in fact the five cent pieces, of which more were issued than all other put together, was entirely worn out, lost, and none of it came back for redemption, hence, like our alleged outstanding fractional currency, is still “in circulation.” This scrip is in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 cent peices. It is not nioney, never was represented to be, more than bills of exchange, drafts, and checks are money. However,, if any of our readers desire to know what it looks like, we will send to any one requesting of either denomi nation, upon receipt of 10, 25, 50 cents or one dollar a piece corresponding to the amount forwarded, and which this office will honor upon presentation in paymerlt of subscriptions, charter or membership fees at any future time without discount. The methods for protecting the users of these evidences of value exchanged, are fully set forth to the proper ones delegated by the Temples to issue and circulate, for individuals or firms undertaking to adopt the system will soon run amuck of the le gal fefices constructed for “their benefit.” You will learn in Archery all that is necessary to carry on the exchanges for the members, smoothly, and with no more friction or cost or loss, than attends the daily transaction of a banking clearance house. Kokomo, where a large Temple of Archers are at work sends a list of subscribers.

Archery does not appeal strongly to lawyers or real estate agents. There is nothing in the Regulations of Archery that excludes lawyers or real estate brokers from membership in the Order, except their own conscience. If they can conscientiously answer the question, “Do you labor to produce or impart any form of value that will add to the enjoyment of life, secure the possession of liberty, or increase the happiness of your fellow men?” in‘'the affirmative, they can become members. But

the precepts of the order when put into practice will render the vocation of these now essential factors of our iniquitous system of exchange, useless appendages, wnose excision may be fatal to the individual local Temples that admit them to membership. Local Temples are hereby reminded that lawyers derive their sustenance from those who produce thW things of this life, and that their services are never required unless there is some dispute to sfettle. If a system Of business, is established whereby all,, disputes were settled by the parties themselves, where each individual transaction was complete within itself, where no detail of any transaction could be left in doubt, where no after consideration could possibly arise, then the lawyer and the real estate broker would each be compelled to seek otlier avenues of business. This \s why the working feature of sotte of our local Temples is interfered with, hence the notes of warning to their cus : tomers that ArWiery is a “dangerous institutich” are sent forth iiy those who btoter than any persons kn\ w when their business is in danger, and it is

not surprising tfiat lawyers wo\ld like to see th\ institution killed, especially thA industrial feature, which once established will Make the professfm of law as profitless as that ofVanking. Locals should not be lightened by ttyie cry that Arch\ry is a dangerous institution. Justice Right an& Reason are itstehiboleth. The aim of Arche# is to secure different '-esultsT from what we now achieve, tokio this we must employ dteren methods. Bonds are infcrumints of
