FIVE. No wonder we are interested in the
grand exchange by ship-loads between tn"
English Co--operators and the Changers |;
and though not deeming it expedient to
long continue exchanges over distance Of
{, 600 miles, Of articles that can be as well
produced at either end, hope t ) see the plan
carried out for few years.
THE GLORIOUS ENGLISH WORKERS.
To show what the English societies, with
their millions Of capitsl are now doing, /
give here an extract from an article in the
London Contemporary Review" :-"Who
would have thought that flannel weayers and
tinkers, shoe-makers and cotton-spinners Of
Rochdale, noisome with wax and carbon and
oil, who began their petty, absurd stores in
1914, were founding q movement the voice
of which would pass like cry Of deliver
ance into the camps OF industry throughout
the English speaking peoples. Who dream
ed that these obscure mechanics, who had
no means but pence and no sense but COM
nonsense, would in 1872 cause every shop
keeper in every high street in every town
and city in the British Empire to scream
with an unknown dread, and t. cry to mem
bers of Parliament, and crowd the Offices Of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pra, ing to
be delivered from the deluge of co-opera-
ton which they suppose threatens to sub
merge them"
Let us set this same class on that same
scream here! Not a tenth part of the mid
dlemen are necessary. They are men and
brothers, but they need to be converted =
changed into producers.
In an article in the Vine!dnd Independent
last year, said of the Jews, ths represent
alive middlemen (8O, 900 in this city, thatin
stead Of restoring them to Palestine, we
would restore them to the soil OF America,
and make them earn their own living
duce their own subsistence.

During the past six months, it has been
my practice, as New York correspondent OF
number of leading Grange papers, to keep
track of all that is said in the principal
conservative periodicals of the land about
the great industrial war. l have striven to
nail every glaring lie, like bat to a barn
door, and TO answer the principal sophistries
of the able but demoralized editors Of the
leading papers. Yet ! prefer to make let

every one who criticises us in the industri
al papers. We have plenty Of pamphlets to
send to those who want long argumentative
statements Of our positions.
Tocarry on the wcrk indicated, find that
have full use for 20 years experience As
public writer, and also for the great librar-
les ard reading rooms, with their thousands
of books, and their periodicals from all parts
Of the world. But most useful of all often,
is acquaintance with the few very strong
and wise men in this city who are really on
the side Of the people, and have thoroughly
studied and mastered the great questions
now at issue. These cheerfully impart their
wisdom.
conclude with the ringing words Of the
'Hoosier Patron and Lady Granger: 1.-The
decisive moment has now arrived, in the
conflict between the Patrons and those who
wish to keep them under; and the leaders
need to step to the front and cry .'Upi
