CUT THIS OUT,

AND POST 1T UP IN YOUR ALLIANCE,
so THAT EVERY MEMBER CAN SEE
TIT Is IMPORTANT
Now is the critical timeI Eternal
vigllence must be the watch word.
Every nook and corner of our fortress
must be jealously guarded against our
foes, Every avenue OF approach have Its
watchful sentinels. 'Tis but II short
time to victory; let nothing jeopardi2e it
nothing remain undone to secure IL;
and to this end nothing is 80 important
as the circulation Of true alliance ltera-
ture.
The state central committee made an
arrangement with THE ADVOCATE (see
notice double column, headed "People's
Party" on page i3) to be supplied for the
campaign for 20 cents each in clubs Of
ten or more, and suggested that the
funds be drawn from the treasures Of
the sub-allianoes to provide every mem
ber with an alliance paper who was with
out one.
We make the following offer: To any
one in the sub-alliances who will look af-
ter the matter and get us club Of TWEEN
ty-6ve or more names at the campaign
rate of % cents for FOUR MONTHS,
cost of sending to be deducted, we will
send THE ADVOCATE for one year free.
Remember our offer ia for FOUR
MONTHS, and we don't cut you off at
the close of the campaign, at time
when the news is the most absorbing
Now please cut this out and post ii up
in your place of meeting and tell ever
brother and sister you meet that they
cannot afford to be without their official
state paper, THE ADVOCATE.
Wherever true alliance papers have
the largest circulation, there our cause is
the strongest There no danger menaces
us. This Office has distributed at much
expense many thousand copies. 1t has
been done cheerfully and will be con
tinued to the extent of our means as all
our interests are identical.

TO the State Crop statlstlcians Of The National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Unions
DEAR BROTHERs.ln transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as 30
acreage Of farm products, | feel that
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spectators and stock exchanges have 80
manipulated the reports OF both Federal
and State agricultural statstlCians AZ TO
make them false, and instruments sub
serylent 10 their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled 10 sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity. BY such undue
advantages, mlllionaires have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed Of
their just prlces, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 80
heavily mOrtgaged as ~ soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
are fast becoming appropriated by the
operations OF spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next gen
Grafton Of farmers will be a generation Of
tenants at-Will
Under such serious and impending
conditions II is evident that in a full de-
velopment Of our strength and fearless
enforcement Of those true and patriotic
principles found In the announced teach
lngs and cherished doctrines Of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
lies the prosperity and financial safety Of
the productive classes of our common
country, who have 30 long borne the OPP
presssons Of reckless spectators, soulless
corporations, and unjust Legislation.
We can hope 10 reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital
and harmonious efforts OF every member
Of our brotherhood In all Of lbs depart
ments.
To efficiently utilize the full force and
effect Of our unity, II Is essential that
every member be thoroughly enlightened
with accurate knowledge OF the erteat and
amount QfOur Iead5ag tiIr7a products, such
as cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat, ETC., as
we'll as TO have q clear conception Of our
natural and legal rights under the spirit
and language Of the organic law Of our
Government, and TO obtain such informa-
tion AZ TO farming statistics in reliable
form we must depend upon such re-
sources as are within our organization.
The Supreme Council at the st. Louis
meeting entertaining such views, enacted
sections " and 1S Of the statutory laws,
hereto appended, making II a part Of my
duty as Secretary Of the National EXecu-
tive Board TO make such crop reports to
the President as he may require, and In
pursuance Of the duties thus imposed, /
have recently prepared and issued a cir
Cular letter setting forth in general terms
the character of the reports expected from
State statisticians, and now, In further
discharge Of my duties, have prepared
such blank forms as are deemed neCessa-
ry for the reports Of state, county and
sub-uniOn statstiCians.

Since embarking in the sale of Crock

found that instead OF this department
being a side line, it has grown TO such
proportions as to tax our ability to sup
ply the demand from every town and
village. We are daily receiving orders
to ship Tea Sets, Dinner Sets, Toilet
sets, &C., as advertised, giving US num-
Der of pieces and price. These orders
come from parties who have never Wis
tied our stores, but who know that the
reputation OF our house is sufficient
guarantee that they will get exactly
what we advertise. In view OF the ex-
traordinary demand for this class Of
goods during the holidays we have treb-
led our stock, added new lines, all the
latest patterns and decorations, &c..
and will sell at prices that will astonish
the purchaser and utterly paralyze the

quote Il few prices, but we carry con-
stantly in stock more goods than any

TRADES ASSEMBLY, MEETING.
A Number of General Matters Disposed
of Yesterday.


There was Il regular meeting OF the
Trades Assembly yesterday afternoon.
There was good turning out OF the
members to take part in the proceed
ingS. President Frohme was in the
chair.
New delegates from the Flint Glass
Workers Association, No. -, OF Mar
tins Ferry, were admitted to the AS
semblv. The question of non-unlon
cigars came up for discussion, and 1t
was reported that Il certain grocer on
the South Side was handling non-nnion
cigars. The matter was referred to the
Grocery Committee of the Assembly.
The special committee to look INTO
the sale of Milwaukee non-union beer
reported that some places about town
were handling it, and gave as one OF
the reasons why they would not cease
was because the sellers said they had
lust as much right TO sell Milwaukee
beer as all the other saloons had to sell
the non-union local-made beer. Fully
an hour and half was occupied In the
discussion OF this question, and 1t re-
suited in the Organization Committee
being instructed to organize the work
men in the local brewery where the nom
union product was now made. Unless
the organization is accomplished within
a specified time the assembly threatens
boycott.
The arbitration committee that was
to look into the refusal of some OF TIE
bakers to sign the agreement reported
progress. Resolutions of respect on the
death of NJ. j. Finley were read and ac-
cepted, and notice was given that at the
next regular meeting of the Assembly
Delegate j. ii. Burtt would deliver 4
eulogy on the deceased. Mr.. Burtt had
long known Mr. Finley, and the excel
lent address which the speaker Will
probably prepare will be awaited with
considerable interest by the members OF
the Assembly, and will be well worth
careful attention.
The death of Mr.. Finley makes vacant
the position to which he was appointed
by Governor Fleming as alternate IN
the Worlds Fair Commission, and In
view of the fact that the deceased was
a member of the Trades Assembly, and
that his position came largely through
his affiliations with labor organizations,
the Assembly adopted motion recon-
mending John Corcoran to the vacancy.
Adjourned.

WAKING THE ECHOES.
\ Rousing Democratic Celebration ut Sis
tersyllle.

The joyful Democrats put a carminc
tint on SisterSvillo last Saturday even
ing. There was a big celebration over
the recent victories, and the whole
town was out to take part in the general
racket. 1t was the largest demonStra-
ton ever held in the town, and the eX-
cellent parade would do credit to
much larger place. 1t was
quito long, and was well
gotten up. The decorations were quite
general, and the whole town was illu-
Some of the residences were especially
artistic and attracted much attention.
The display of fireworks was also elab-
crate, and were thrown off to good adj
vantage. Two bands made music, the
Baresville and Sistersville bands. a
singular feature of the occasion was
the fact that Congressman Pcndleton,
who was present, was serenadcd at the
close of the celebration by the Barnes
Vile band composed entirely OF Repub-
Leans. The speaking took place in one
of the public squares after the parade,
and was presided over by Col. Robert
Browse, who made some very felicitous
remarks, and they were right to the
point. Congressman Pendleton then
made a stirring address and at the close
was loudly applauded. He was followed
by Editor Stewart, of the Moundsville
Sun. Among the other prominent peo-
pie present was J. w. Gallaher, Jr., of
the Governors staff. 1t was a great
demonstration.
