The Lecturers Duty,

In our declaration of intentions we bind

the Agricultural classes in the science Of

partisan spirit. That being part, and
the most important pa.t, of our work,
we should study the best methods Of ac-
complishing it. There are two ways in
which knowledge of that kind can be OBJ
tanned, reading Alliance papers and lee
lures by competent men. We know that
it is very difficult to get majority of our
members to take the organs of the order,
and each Sub-Alliance should appoint q
committee of one to bring itup at every
meeting and continually urge upon the
members the Importance of keeping
themselves posted as to what we are try
ing to do, by taking the National Econo
mist, Cotton Plant, or some other good
Alliance organ.
Reading and study by each individual
member is the most thorough way of ed
ucating ourselves in the science OF gov
ernment, but as a great many of our
members will not take the trouble to do
30, it makes the intelligent performance
of the Lecturers duty the most impor-
tant of any that falls on an officer of the
Alliance. Therefore each Sub Alliance
should select their most intelligent, best
posted and most progressive member 10
perform that duty. At least one.half OF

The following from MIR. A. j. Hall ex.
presses q great deal in a few words. The
same idea is the basis of the Sub Treasury
bill: "There seems to be but three ways
for nation 10 acquire wealth: first, BY
war as the Romans did this is robbery,
second, by commerce, this is generally
cheating; third, by agriculture, the ouly
honest way wherein man receives real
increase. The seed thrown in the ground,
by kind Of continual miracle, wrought
by the hand Of beneficent God, springs
up to reward him for life of innocence
and industry. Let n- have money based
on evidence of wealth; and mol on evi.
dence of debt. This will reconcile all
things"

Here's little story, says the Atlanta
Consultation, in which one can almost see
the hand of that mysterious Providence
which guides and guards our lives. A
mother and her babe we're seated in
car Oh one of the railroads going out
from Philadelphia. The woman sat
near an open window. holding her babe
in her arms. It was leaping and laugh
ing. aud clapping its hands as the train
dashed on at a rapid rate of speed. Sud
denly sharp curve was rounded-the
coach gave lurcb, and-out of the
window went the baby-out, out into the
arms of death! But that was only as
they thought. The distracted mother
rushed to The door, and would have
sprung from the platform, but the PAS
sengers restrained her; the bell rang,
the engineer pulled up, and a hundred
men went in search ofthe baby, expect
ing to find only its mangled remains on
the road. But there, on soft cushion of
grass, il lay unhurt, and laughing and
clapping its hands still 1t was nothing
short OF miracle. Perhaps, when from
that flying train the baby fell to what
seemed certain death, it was caught in
the arms of an unseen angel and clasped
to breast as tender as its mothers.
Who knows?

Tie Volume of Money.

Mr.. EDITOR: Your financial CORES.
poudent, "B" echoes Secretary WINDOWS
assertion that the per capita circulation
is 500 Sc, but he fails to give any facts or
figures to prove it. The truth is that as
sertion is not based on facts, aud fearing
it will be believed by great many, if not
contradicted, with your permission, I will
give my reasons for saying so.
In the report of the United States
Treasurer for 1889 we have the following
tableI
Gold, silver and notes
outstanding. g............S1 G6G, ,094. .420,7
In Treasury. 27S,543, ,565.36
In circulation. .............. 1887 $50, 1885, IL
That amount divided amongst Cd mil.
lion people gives each S21.6S. But that
it is not really the case is easily seen from
the fact that the actual amount OF money
held in the Treasury is more than double
the above amount Neither is any de-
duction made tor paper money lost aud
destroyed by fire, flood, &C., in the las.
25 years nor of coin destroyed, lost or ex.
ported. More than G7 million dollars of
gold and silver coin were known to have
been exported from this country last year.
Even Mr.. "B." will not claim that money
held by the banks as reserve fund is in
circulation, aud that is not taken in ac>
count, either, in Secretary WINDOWS and
Mr.. "B's" calculation. The correct stand.
ing of the matter is shown by the follow
ing tables. The figures used are given by
Mr.. Dunning in the National Economist,
of April 2G, and are about as low, and in
my judgment are the nearest correct of
any that have been able to obtain

Editor CAN'T, of the Athens, (Ga,,)
Banner in speech to the Alliancemen of
Walton County, gives great deal of
sound, practical advice on the work of
the Alliance. The following extract,
which hits the nail squarely on the head,
is fair sample of what he said, and is
peculiarly applicable to our position in
the coming campaign:
"My Alliance friends, you have grand
work to accomplish, aud to succeed you
must elect officers in full accord and
sympathy with your views. As well had
you to expect carpenter TO build house
without tools, as that the Alliance can
accomplish any great measures OF reform
without electing men to Office who are
with you heart and soul.
| Iam not afraid that Alliancemen will
permit politicians to ride them into Office |;
but if mistake not, the farmer boys
intend to plant themselves firmly on the
back OF every man elected to a public
position, and if he don't plumb tue row
there is going to be some pretty rough
geeing and having.
ut is not only necessary, but OF vital
importance, that the Alliance should take
a decid ed aud controlling interest in pol
itics."

We are glad to observe that the pee
pie generally are not SO taken up with
politics as one might suppose, consider
ing the fact that so much is being said to
attract their attention in that direction.
We repeat, we are glad of this, because
it is most important that the farm should
receive the undivided time and attention
of the farmer during this season. There
will be ample time to settle the questions
involved in the campaign after we have
settled the grass in our crops, and there
is good deal more money for the farmer
in his crop than he will find in politics.
The latter is pretty expensive affair.
Besides, its road to success is an uphill
way, with straight gate, and few there
be that find it, We note with pleasure
that our most successful farmers do not
invest very largely in politics, except to
always, as rule, cast their votes right.
We also note, but not with pleasure, that
those men who take most stock in poll.
ties, have very little stock in anything
else. We hope to see the citizens of An.
derson County take sensible view of the
situation of affairs, and not be carried
away by the glib tongues of those who
like them, but, of course, want their votes.
This is year in which We trust our peo,
pie will vote according to their honest,
candid aud conscientious convictions of
duty. We would not be understood as
saying they have not done this in the
past, but we merely wish to urge them
this year, especially, to dare to do right.
Cast your vote as duty to God and your
Country. We see no cause for being 30
extreme. The whole State is not going
to ruin, whether one set or anoth er of
ofice.seekers are successful. Let every
man discharge faithfully his duty, and
there will be no occasion for alarm.
Duty should be the wstchword of every
Democrat in this State, and his noblest
aspiration to do his duty. That word
duty is big word, and includes . great
deal. How few of us discharge our duty.
We fear most of the alarm sounded is
very like unto soda water-mostly wind.
Let us simmer down, and take sober
view Of things, and go forward in the
discharge of our duty, and in no other
onirit

A SHOT From olICkNEY
To Knock Ont BOokwalteP's Spe.
ciaIty Farming Argument.

President A. B. Stickney,.of the Kan
sas City road, was the central and al
most the only figure in the chamber of
commerce yesterday morning at the
regular Monday meeting. He appeared
by proxy for the purpose of replying to
the fusilade forced off by Commissioner
Bookwalter, of the Great Northern,
several weeks ago. Mr.. Nichols read
his letter, which was quite a
long one, filled with statistics to
prove the great blessing to
Minnesota of diversified farming. He
dissected Mr. BookWalter'S effort and
strewed the dismembered remains all
over the chamber. His first point OF
difference was whether the railroads
made this community or the reverse, and
with little judiclous praise he leaned
to the second proposition. He thought
the general prosperity of the country
had been the magnet that drew immi-
grafton, as people migrate to divide
profits, pot losses. He plaStered sta
tistics all over Mr.. Book walters argu
meut for speciality farming and then
concluded:
"The quality of the soil and the eli
matte conditions are favorable to profit
able agriculture. The methods are bad.
1t cannot be overlooked, however, that
the prices of all kinds of farm products
are, for the time being, abn0rmally low.
Every change is more or less an expert
ment, and it lakes whole year to try
one experiment in agriculture, hence
every experiment to the agriculturist is
a question of serious consideration;
point which is too frequently over
looked by the impatient man, who ex
presses his establishment in no very
complimentary terms that the farm
er does not at once abandon
the exclusive culture of wheat,
when he arrives at the point
where he confesses to himself that he
ought, The best methods are always
developed Ivy the slow processes of evo-
luton. Southern Minnesota has passed
through and is now on the upward grade.
History will undoubtedly repeat itself
i'm Northern Minnesota and Dakota.
How long time it will take depends
largely upon the farmers themselves
and upon the circumstances surround
ing them. The cities can do but little
directly, but indirectly they can do
much. They can do missionary work.
The merchants in all ages nave been
most successful missionary workers. In
the humble opinion of the writer they
should, in season and out of season,
preach the financial gospel of 'dlyerSl-
fed farming"
