Another swindle.

II is now announced that the Presi-
dent indorses Sec Windom's policy
upon the silver question and will re-
commend it to the favorable consider
alton Of Congress. This will afford
another most excellent opportunity
for speculation at the expense Of the
people. For instance, a person who is
able to obtain 5000 ounces Of silver
bullion may take il to the treasury and
receive $4,000 in silver certificates for
it. He will now hold his silver certif-
icates until the "bears" reduce the
price Of silver say to 80 cents. He
then takes them to the treasury and
demands their redemption in bullion
at the market price and receives $500
ounces This he will hold again until
the "bulls" take a turn at the wheel
when he will surrender it to the treas
ury and receive $500 in silver certif-
icstes. This process may be repeated
indefinitely.
A more villainous scheme for the
encouragement of fraud and the Prac-
tice Of wholesale robbery could not be
conceived in the councils of the infer
nal regions, and yet it is said our So
called leading representatives are
ready to sanction it by Congressional
enactment, If there does not come a
time of reckoning with these plant
tools Of monopoly at an early day we
shall cease to believe that q just God
continues to rule the Universe.

FraternaI Insurance.

Tho HoltonsRecOrder observes that
"Web Wilder does not believe in fra
ternal insurance. and expresses the
opinion that "it is Onlya question Of
time when the logic Of facts will vindi-
cate Wilders judgement" 1t is only
a question Of time when the logic Of
facts will demonstrate the instability
Of all human institutions; and possibly
the day that witnesses this demonstra-
tion will witness a vindication Of Mr..
Wilders judgement in this respest
While human institutions remain as
at the present time, however, the ma
jority Of the people Of this country
will continue, as now, TO regard frater-
nal insurance, as by far the safest and
cheapest insurance upon the face OF
the earth, the judgement Of Mr.. Wild
or and the Recorder to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Itpossesses this one
advantage if il had no other 1t
furnishes the insurance at absolute
cost; and if such a contingency as it's
collapse is possible, there will be no
great fortunes accumulated at the ex-
pense OF policy holders during it's
continuance. We opine that the Ed
itor Of the Recorder has not investi-
gated all Of the systems Of Fraternal
Insurance. Please examine further
and report again.

mo Natlonal ConetltntIon.

We publish this week the Consti-
tuition OF tho National Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union and the
statutory laws adopted at the st,
Louis meeting, 10 will be observed
that some important changes have
been made in the eligibility clause,
which settle some OF the questions
that have hitherto been in dispute.
Members Of the order will do well TO
preserve this number Of the Advocate
for future reference, as these laws
and the report Of the ST. Louis com
mitteo on the monetary system will
not be likely to appear in full again.
AS this report has been adopted by

Am IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.

In another solumn will be found
the report of the committee on the
monetary system adopted by the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union at the meeting that assem-
bled in St. Louis on Dec. 3rd, 1889.
This is presented as 'the key to the
solution of the industrial problem Of
the age.' It will constitute the basis
Of the demand that will be submitted
to congress by the joint cooperative
committee on Legislation from this or
der and the Knights of Labor; and
the recognition Of this demand will
be insisted upon in the name of A,
100000 Of voters. The opposition Of
monopolists and spectators to this
measure is to be anticipated, md it
remains to be seen in whose interest
the sympathies Of our Legislators are
enlisted. We expect TO have some
thing to say upon this question here
after.

A LITTLE roo HAsTY.

We recently heard gentleman re-
mark in speaking Of the halter, that
il il was around the neck Of a GER
tain leading politician he would like
to help to pull the other end of over
limb. This remark inconsiderately
made is not an isolated case Of this
form Of expression. The depressed
condition Of the industrial interests
Of the country, the prevailing hard
times, and the privations and hard
ships which result, have a tendency
to make men desperatej and thoy
sometimes give utterance to senti-
ments like the above while their own
goodness Of heart would never per
NIT them do the things Of which they
80 lightly speak.
We desire to ask these good broth
ers to stop and reflect a moment.
Who sent these men TO congress and
to our state legisiatures9 It took
votes to place them in these positions
and did younot cast one OF those
votesG Perhaps not for the identical
man concerning whom you speak, but
for another equally as bad7 And
when you did this, did you expect he
would vote for your interest when
his own was in direct conflict with
yours? It is about time for the peo-
pie to begin TO comprehend the fact
that if our Legislators and other pub
lie officials do not properly consider
our interests in their official acts, the
fault is with us and the remedy is IN
our own hands. When this matter is
thoroughly understood and It's impor-
tance generally appreciated we may
expect a change, and not before.

Kansas Sugar.

While at Burton on the Goth of
Dec, we were shown samples of beet
sugar and sorghum sugar from the
Medicine Lodge sugar works that were
Of most excellent quality and far SUI
perior to any we have seen from any

pecially fine and if an article Of that

At II o'clock Monday a caucus

This was the time for converting OF
the first legislature ever held in the
new state OF Idaho. The Hobbies were
filed, and as soon as the door was
thrown open, in rushed the remaining
Legislators, together with the sight
seers, and it was 1922 p. m. before
the speaker assembled TO the platform
and called the house to order. Hon.
FL. 2. Burkhart, ex-speaker of the last
session of the legislature under terri
torial rule, performed his duty with
grace, and showed he was not an
amateur. The decorations Of the hall
were very pleasing to the eye, and
the word "Idaho" greeted you on all
sides. While the crowd was so great
standing room was at premium. The
governors proclamation was read by
Charles Reed, ex-clerk of the house
and the vast throng listened attentive
lip to every word.
prayer was then offered by Rev. L
W. Goyen, after which the acting
clerk read the certified list Of legisla

Education and Monarchy.

The empsror of Germany has made
discovery. He has found out that

tyranny, do not go well together. He
thinks the higher schools gust mend
their methods and confue the studies
of their pupils to German history and
the greatness of their native land. He

instituted between such systems and
their own. If the youth of Germany
are allowed to familiarize themselves
with the free institutions of this
country and of England they will
naturally become disguised with their
own position and seek to amend it.
The emperor thinks that the pres
ent system tends to an oyer-produc-

journalists, whom he calls "lounger

the standpoint from which he views
matters. Competent and honest journ-
allsts can rarely refrain froTl inyesti-
eating and criticising the methods
prevailing under such a system Of
government as in force in Germany.
And the misfortune of such system
is that it cannot stand criticism or in.
vestigation, and when that takes place
the whole superstructure is apt &c
crumble beneath it. And so with the
sort of society the emperor seeks tc
maintain, it cannot be doubted thai
educated journalists are dangerous.

ATTENTION has been turned with
much interest during the week to the
convention of the Farmers Alliance,
which has been in session at Ocala,
Florida. Up to the time of writing
the convention had been mainly en-
gagged in listening to addresses while
waiting for the completion OF the
work of its committees. One feature
Of the proceedings thus far had, which
has given rise to some criticism. was
the passage Of resolution protesting
against the passage Of the Federal
Elections bill, on the ground that it
involves radical revolution in the
election machinery Of the nation and
that it is partisan in spirit and will
be partisan In its application. The
idea of forming a third party has
gained ground among the members,
some Of whom have signed call for
a national conference of delegates
from the farmers organizations and
others holding similar views, to be
held in Cincinnati on February %
next. The idea of the movers IN this
matter is to form national union
party, based upon the ideas set forth
in the st. Louis platform of 1889, pre-.
paratory to taking part in the polit
ical struggle Of 1892. The action rak
en- at Cincinnati will be passed upon
by the conventions of the different
organizations later on in the year
when it will be seen what strength
the third party movement has among
the Alliance men.
