70 the AdJutant General OF the State OF Ohio.
Sir: For some time past this depart
ment, under order and sanction Of the
Secretary Of War, has been occupied in
the collection Of military information OF
a general character relating not only to
our own country, but TO foreign armies,
fortihcations and etc, OF foreign powers,
and a division styled, "the division Of
military information" has been created in
this Office where such information is COM
piled and fled for future reference.
In the course Of our examination II has
become evident that much valuable data
relative to the National guards Of the
several states and territories can be fur
nished by the Adjutant generals thereof,
and in this view / have the honor TO re-
quest that you will at tie earliest practicG-
6b date supply the information designat
ed concerning the troops Of your state.
GB-It is especially desired that this in
qulry and any subsequent correspondence
in the matter may be considered az
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL, the object Of the
department being to obtain this and like
information IN quiet manner and to pre-
serve the same until needed The items
particularly desired at this time are as
follows, to-wit:
LIST. Location and strength Of the vari-
GUS organizations by regiments, indepen-
dent companies, troops and batteries,
together with a statement as 10 tho proper

We must get at the very root OF the evil.

moment, presented bynotlcing closely the
result Of the reduction In freight rates
from all Kansas points.
Some predict that the reduction will
not benefit the farmer, but will end In the
hands Of the moneyed sharks, whose un-
told wealth speaks for them and has the
power TO oppress. Then will be heard
again "oyer production"
Brothers, our moRey is the greatest con
trolling element We must first bring
about change In our monetary system.
Money will do anything; all remedies not
touching directly upon our monetary
system are likely to be defeated by the
great volume Of money owned and con-
trolled by few sharks Iropeat, we must
revise our monetary system.
Provisions are on every hand Our
granNrlea are filed to repIetlon, and
amid all these bountliul blessings people
are calling for the necessaries OF life.
Their cries are In vain for they have not
the money TO buy. Does this look like
overproduction? You may produce and
reproduce your cause Of distress but by
careful consideration you will be able to
trace II along the great chain to the last
link,-Bl0Reg

the different remedies don't lose sight Of

monetary system, but Of different char.

Some boast Of our state legislature being
composed Of lawyers.
