of this broad land, preparing public
opinion, in advance Of the crisis. for ths
/ new social order; and thus serving moi
only to mitigate the violence of the
Transition, but also to make the outcome
of the new system Of society more sure
and satisfactory.
And, be it observed, that with this
system there viii be no necessity for any
centrslized authority or arbitrary regula-
ton. Every little group will be indie
pendent and selfregulating. and viii
have the benefit of connection through
| its first member or founder with group
older than itself, and viii thus be kept
informed of the general movement OF
thought and the progress of the party
elsewhere.
But the chief beauty of the plan is
that course of education has been
mapped out and excellent text books
provided, and that these are placed in
the hands of the various groups. who
forming themselves thus into classes are
enabled, in an extremely short time, to
perfectly familiarize themselves with the
fundamental principles Of true social sci
ence.
| Following this course comes q scientific
and comprehensive course of chemistry.
In brief, the producers are scientifically
elevated from the condition of ignorant
slaves 10 the position of intelligent free
men, prepared to act as leaders in. the
great social revolution, whose birth
throes are already agitating the world.
Secret, mysterious, worldwide, quietly
honey y-combing society, the 1. w. A.
offers to daring and devoted men and
women of earth, the sole practical means
of releasing the wealth-producers from
the shackles of tyranny. 1t does not
fear betrayal since its system of organi-
zation prevents the possibility of treason
It does not fear suppression, because it
has millions of members, as well quail
fed as the leaders to assume direction
should those now at the head be re-
moved. = a%t ~,
It does not fear failure because it
knows its own power and strength, and
the Justice and truth of its cause.
Suppose that you call together eight of
your friends some evening this coming
week at your own home. Read them
this article, thentform yourselves into q
group according to the above plan. Then
forward an account of your meeting to
the Division Secretary. You will then
receive proper documents and each man
of the group can 60 out and organize a
group Of his own and so on. Let us take,
say limit of three months, to perfect
each group. If you alone should follow
out the plan, what would be the result ?
Let u.s. see: In the first series of groups
there would be yourself and eight others,
9; in the second series, 72; in the third
series, ,64S; in the fourth series, 5,s32
That is to say the ball thus set in motion
by you alone would within one year or
ganize effectively nearly 5000 men.
1t Is work of this kind that has under
mined all the thrones of Europe, and
which in but few years more will make
American workmen ready to clasp hands
with their brothers in other lands, to
topple to its fall, tie whole mighty incu-
bus of wrong that now threatens the
whole world with death and desolation.

LOST PHARTSEES.

What has become of that Independent vote !
A little while ago We were told that the bolicrs
had organized in miraculously efficient man
nor; that they had sent tons OF addresses oy
Mr.. Curtis and speeches by Mr.. Schurz into all
the States and particularly into Maine that
they had the names-yes. actually the names
of ever so many thousand Republicans who
were going TO defeat Mr. Blaine, and that these
numbered about twenty-five per cent OF the
party i'm Massachusetts and ten per cent III
Maine. After the eloquent speeches made III
that interest, il might be presumed that the
number had not decreased. But ten per cent
of 10000 would be 1900 in Maine. INA
they vote the Democratic ticket The Demo
Gratis had nominated an excellent candidate
who was personally popular, OF unassmlcu
character. and made a good canvass. YET
somehow the vote for him appears to be about
sixteen to seventeen per cent less than the vote
for the Democratic candidate four years ago.
when the last full vote was polled.
Once more. what has become OF this 1ndcpen-
dent vote1 If the s0-callcd Independents
neglected To vote the Democratic ticket, but
merely said at home, one would suppose that
fine Republican vote would have greatly de
creased Yet the returns thus far show an
actual increase in the Republican vote OF about
sl9 per cent. ms compared with the last full
vote in the State. If, then, the 900 aforesaid
did in their purity vote for the Democratic
candidate or stay at home, it follows that near
" or quite twice as many Democrats voted the
Republican, ticket.
Whichever way one looks at these facts the
election in Maine docs appear rather inStIu'-
tive. II 'cad, 20 the impression either that tn"
lnd,pendcnt vote Is Ia be algebrIcally repre-
scented by large minus quantity, or that the
number of Democrats who are Inclined to see
cleveland beaten is 10 be represented by "
LARGE positive quantity. Very positiy" thcy are
too. II appears.
