wealthy and privileged classes are SER
ioualy and earnestly questioning the JUS
tIce and humanity Of our present indus
trial or social, economic system. Not
only are the pOverty-stricken wage-work-
ers, (white slaves) arrayed in rebellion
against the unequal and unfair dlstribu-
tiOn Of the wealth produced by industrial
and productive labor; but many OF the
deepest thinkers In the ranks Of polite
al economists are outspoken and vehe-
ment in their condemnation OF the whole
competitive system Of production and
distribution, and a powerful and increas-
Ing sentiment in favor OF a more or less
comprehensive system OF industrial Co
operation is manifesting itself In our
midst.
Intho senate OF the United States on
March 10th, Mr.. Stanford offered a pre-
amble and resolution lnstructIng the
committee on finance TO inquire what re-
lief for the existing agricultural depres-
sion may be furnished by the United
States government, and particularly
whether loans may not DO made by the
government upon mortgages on real

such rates and in such amount as will

centage Of the loans from time to time at
its discretion. lie submitted some re-
marks In support Of his resolution, and
the resolution was sent 10 the committee
on finance. Some time ago Senator
Vance introduced a bill In the senate,
embodying the features Of the "sub-
treasury plan, as formulated by the COM
mittee appointed by the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union, the prlnci-
pie or salient features Of which are we'll
known 10 all reader Of the NOncOnt0rm-
ist and members Of the alliance. Briefly
stated the bill provided for the erection
of government or communal sub-treasury
warehouses, in which the farmer may
deposit his surplus grain, and receive 80
per cent. Of its domestic market value in
United States treasury notes and a ware
house receipt, assignable, which carries
with II the ownership Of the grain, upon
payment by the holder Of the advance
made by the people, Tor government(
and small charge TO cover the actual
cost Of the management and operation Of
the department In addition 10 this, the
Alliance Union, in their platform pro-
mulgated at st, Louis, demand that the
means Of communication and transpor-
tatlon shall be owned by, and operated
in the interest Of the people, as In the
United States postal system. II ls the
intention OF this article, to demonstrate,
as briefly as possible, the relation that
these demands or plans bear to a system
Of National Industrial Cooperation; and
the extent to which they would have a
tending to bring about this much de-
sired contamination.
We will dispose Of the last item FIRST.
transportation is one Of the most impor-
tant factors in the distribution Of wealth.
More especially is this the case with
farm products and other heavy articles
Of merchandise. Thus we find that one

represents transportation from the Kan.

cedure iniureS No one, except some

Senator StaniOEd's plan and the sub
treasury plan may be examined togeth-
or, rs the same arguments will answer
for both. Money ls the blood or vital
fluid Of the body corporate or nation.
The clothing Of money with the attribute
Of an interest drawing power in the
hands OF the individual was a devlllsh de-
vice, originated by the vlciously wise for
the purpose OF enslaving all industrial
and productive labor. IL Is expressly
forbidden by Divine law; II Is not one Of
the proper or legitimate functions Of
money; and always has, and inevitably
always must, enrich the few, and enslave
and impoverish the masses Of the peo-
Pile. Cooperation proposes the exchange
Of a certain amount OF labor for the pro-
duct Of the same amount OF labor per
formed by some one else; and In its full
est development involves the abolish
ment OF all money, such as we now have,
and the use OF a simpls time check In the
stead thereof. The governmental owner
ship and operation Of all means Of trans
pOrtatlOn and communication; the Uadu-
ated or cumulative system Of taxation,
and the absolute prohibition, under &c.
we're penalties, Of the asking or receiving
by individual, Of interest upon money,
would lnaugurate an almost perfect sys.
tenn Of industrial cooperation, and at
tho same time retain all the features Of
indivldualism which are worth retain
Ing. Money is, or should bo, useless, un-
less used; but interest allows its owner
TO live luXurlOusly by taxing other men
for its use. Through the means Of in
terest; the holders Of the peoples money
(the most Of which they own by virtue
OF theft, levy tribute upon all industri-
al enterprise, aud demand a toll from la
Dor for the privilege Of being allowed 10
work. "Slngle tax" men assert the same
Of private ownership of land, or land
monopoly, But the fact remains that
nine out Of ten hOmesteads bought from
the government are bought with borrow
ed money, and in the end, the money
lender almost invariably gets the farm,
increased value and all.
You ask, what has all this to do with
the question in discussion? Muchl ALLll

Frog farming.

The frog editor in some sensational
paper must have beeu let loose again
to Judge from the manv inquiries we
receive every day about frog farming.
The principal frog farms are said to
be in New Jersey. We have travelled
through the State of New Jersey in
all directions, but have never been able
to discover one of these frog farms,
nor have any of our many correspond
ents in that State ever heard of such
a thing. The very nature of frogs
prevents their being raised in large
quantities in enclosures. The young
frogs live principally on small insects
and crustaceans, and how to provide
these in sufficient quantities would be
the great problem in such an under
standing. Ifthelr is such thing as a
successful frog raising establishment
anywhere In existance, we would be
tempted to travel great way to see
it-American Agricutturist.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson has compiled some interest
ing newspaper statistics with poli,i-
cal significance, which he made public
at the dinner Of the Norfolk Club at
Young's Hotel in Boston. They are
included in the following special des-
patch to the Neto York IS'tn of May
"a:
1t would be good thing IL every
Republican in this country would study
Rowell's Newspaper Directly, or any
of the standard kindred works. They
would see, taking Rowell for authority
that, while there are 255 Republican
dailies printed in this country, with a
circulation Of over one thousand, there
are 800 Democratic dailies printed.
They would see that, while the Repnb-
lican dsilies have, according TO Rowell
q circulation Of one million and half,
the Democratic dsilies have a circula-
ton of over one thousand each and a
tombind circulation of two millions
and a half The Democrats have L.
SAG weeklies, with a circulation of
four millions and a quarter. | think
these figures are all too low in their
estimates, but no doubt they are relat-
lively correct as between parties. Be-
yond this the magazines that support
the Democratic party have circlstion
of nearly half a million, while those
that support the Republican party,
even by indirection, have less than a
hundred thousand. Hdrper's Weekly
and some other journals complain that

In no department Of the noderan
newspaper has there been greater and
more marked improvements shown
than in the field of advertising. There
is greater display of taste aud literary
style in the composition, and an evi-
dent effort is made to appeal TO the in
telligence AMI refinement of the reader
This is seen not only in the advertise
ments of the large mercantile establish
ments where trained skill is employed
but as we'll in the three-line advertise
ment which is written by the advertiser
himself, and which, in terseness and
directness of style, can lay claim to
great literary merit The development
of advertising may yet lead to the
establishment of special courses of
