EDITOR THE ADVOCATE.
Dear slr:-I received a sample copy OF
your paper a few days since, and would
say am we'll pleased with II. Herewith
enclose $1.OO for one copy for one year.
We are organized in this county but we
are young and poor and not able to help
as much as we would wish to do, but our
sympathies are with those who are carry
ing on the good work for the laboring
classes
have read a great many things in your
paper which please me but what | would
like to see Is concentration on a few
planks in platform that we all are ready
20 agree upon, and that we can pledge
our candidates to the legislature to work
for, and few planks for our candidates
for congress to stand by, and then when
they are elected see that they do all In
their power to frame them into laws. But
let us remember that great many are
new recruits and must be drilled before
they are ready to battle for all we need.
think we ought to be careful not to
demand too much for fear we lose all,
and as time goes on we can agree upon
things that would now create discord If
we demand them. We must remember
that the majority of farmers can not un-
derstand all that some Of the brothers
advocate, and / think II is necessary that
those whose duty 1t is to educate them
must commence at the bottom aud use
simple language that all can understand.
know that all the farmers realize that
something is wrong, but do not know
what is needed. / will try and make up
a club for your paper and If you think
my ideas are worth publishing will, at
some future time, state the few things
that we should first demand.
