tions-nam that as each club vii
probably be composed of persons O
about the same class and habits an,
quite familiar with each other, there vii
be no timidity about the expression 0
individual opinion; instead of half
dozen takers and fifty listeners, ever,
one will be talker and every one
listener, and of course all will be thereb,
more interested and become more intel
ligent, and real friendship will b
likely to spring up between them. Tht
reciprocity of thought will produce that
effect. Another important advantage is
that there will be little likelihood of any
one member assuming such authority as
to become aboss,"a a self-constituted in
carnation of the society, making in its
name all sorts of arrangements, bargains
and compromises. Nearly all the pres.
ent political associations are pestered
and damaged by such ambitious or un-
prineipled individuals, and it is an evil OF
the first magnitude.
Each man is member of one group
which is under the chairmanship of its
organizer. He is simple member here
but if he desires himself to become an
organizer he can do SO by going out and
organizing group of his own.
Among the chief objects of the Inter
national is the ascertaining of the indi-
vidual opinions of each. of the members
upon all questions of interest, Each
member is expected to- forward his views
and thoughts and all information he OBJ
tains to headquarters.
In this way, if every sympathizing
reader of this article will set to work, it
will be readily seen how quickly and
successfully supposing the ideas to be
correct and the time ripe for them-the
party may spread. like the ganglions of
the nervous system, throughout the whole
of this broad land, preparing public
opinion, in advance of the crisis, for the
new social order, and thus serving not
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 will be no necessity for any
centralized authority or arbitrary regula-
ton. Every little group will be indie
pendent and self-regulating, and will
have the benefit of connection through
its first member or founder with group
older than itself, and will 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 a scientific
and comprehensive course of chemistry.
In brief, the producers are scientifically
elevated from the condition of ignorant
slaves to 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-combing society, the l. 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,
1t does not fear suppression, because it
has millions of members, as we'll quail
fed as the leaders to assume direction
should those now at the head be re-
moved.
1t does not fear failure because it
knows it's 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, then form yourselves into a
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 go out and organize a
group of his own and 30 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 us see: In the first series of groups
there would be yourself and eight others,
g; in the second series, 72; in the third
series, 84S; in the fourth series, 1882
That is to say the ball thus set in motion
bv you alone would within one year Or
ganize effectively nearly 5000 men.
sIt 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.
Address Division Secretary and en-
close in an envelope directed to the
editor of this paper.
