BUSINESS AGENCY FUND. :.
To Secretaries Of sub-Alliances.

In making out your lists of con-
tributions put the like amounts to-
gether, beginning with the highest;
this will expedite the work of the
Secretary in issuing certificates, as he
will not have to change "stubb !"
books so often. Don't you see it :?
If you put down SIS and Immediately
below 81 or So, etc., the secretary
when he fills out certificates has to lay
aside the SIS stubb book and take up
the 81, etc., and do so as often as the
amount changes. If you put the
amounts together he finishes each
kind of certificate on your voucher as
he reaches them and the time lost in
changing is saved.
After you have received an &C.
acknowledgements from me for money
sent, if there is any delay in receiving
certificates do not write to me but to
the Secretary of the State Alliance at
Raleigh. The delay is in his Office
and l have no knowledge ofsits cause.
In writing to either the Trustee or
Secretary always mention the number
Of the voucher concerning which you
write (which the Trustee gives you

money! and the name and number of
Eyour.AIliance. :
Keep in your minute book q list of
the names of the contributors and be
certain that it corresponds in names
and amount with the voucher you for
ward to me, then there can be no
trouble in correcting any mistakes
that may occur.
Reserve my receipts until you re-
ceive your certificates. After you
have the certificates it is of no more
value. If contributions r from in
dividuals members you must send
names with the money so that certif-
Gates can be made to each n con-
tributing. When this is not done
certificates will be made to the ALI
ance as q body.

RIGHTS OF LABOR.

W0rkingman Takes Sanders to Task.
To the Editor OF the TRIBUNE: Col.
Sanders speech, Saturday night, was q
strong appeal for the sheep owners and
corporations that own the large mines,
but what did he promise the sheep herder
or the man who does the labor in the
mines, and on the ranches, and on all
public works? What did he promise the
laboring man? His talk was all in favor
of the proprietors. While lead is higher
and wool IS higher and iron manufactur-
ers are getting better prices, wages have
steadily come down Cattle men are get
ting rich while COW boys wages are not
as much as they were u year ago Has
Arlington or Hastie or Clark or any other
sheep man paid his laboring men more
since the price Of wool came up? On the
contrary wages are coming down all the
time. Herders now get ~ when Two
years ago they got $35 and up TO Soo'
Miners wages are not SO high as they
We're one year ago. Facts like these
knock all the force out of Col Sanders
eloquence and cause McCntcheon's rlli
cule to pass by harmless. The republl-
can government is permitting the Chinese
to come to this country by hundreds
Don't this mean lower wages or no WORK
for white men? Although Carnagie's in
come is over $4,000 every day yet he Is
cutting the wages Of his workmen. TINS
is the kind Of friendship the republican
party shows workingmen. LABOR.
