large profit thereby.
Our Alliance is progressing slowly,
but we hope to continue to climb step
by step until we can reach the top
round of the ladder; but we need not
expect to accom- plish much in sometime
yet, for until the business agency fund
is raised we can hardly expect much.
[ think the first of all things is to get
the business agency fund established.
1t seems that there has been enough
said about it already to arouse all
Alliance men, although there are a
good number that are still standing
back. Very respectfully,

LETTET FROM PAsQUoTANK.

OCIsKo, N. @.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It really seems to me
that amid all the writing, speaking
and arguing in and out of Congress
with reference to the impending revo-
luton now threatening our country,
our present Congressman ought to
know and see that the crisis is about
to burst upon us, and unless relief is
given, the so-called best government
the world ever saw" is doomed. What
must be the worshippers when money
is their God2 And to this we might
add, what must be the governed when
partisan demagogue Congress is the
ruler? We say again unless some
thing is done, and that quickly, civil
and religious liberty will be only
thing of the past. "The hand writing
is on the wall" If it be true that in
1850 the farmers owned 70 per cent.
of all the wealth of the United States,
and paid tax on IS per cent, whereas
at this time (I890( they own "a per
cent. instead of 70, and yet pay tax
on 62 per cent. Of all that is taxed in
this country. | repeat it, sir, that it
is high time that we bestir ourselves
and rid the country of that vast flock
of foul birds now about the " carcass"
of religious freedom in Washington
City who have bartered away the lib
critics of the people. Owing to the
usurpating influences of demagogues,
railroads, banks, trust companies, mid
dlemen, Sc, our once prosperous
country is in its death agonies the
rattles will soon begin-then the aver
age politician will begin to tremble
and shake. We are not Anarchists,
neither are we Nihilists nor Commun-
lists, but friends to a government of
equal rights and privileges to all and
special favors to none; then if that is
politics, we are fully in, and the par
tisan popin-jay can have the pleasure
Of long rest, so far as governing is
concerned. We have heard it said
that railroads are citizens; so they
may be to certain extent, but like
the banks, they are selfish concern,
and are demoralizers. I live, and
have lived, right on a railroad, 4. e.
within so yards of one for the past
ten years, and l have failed to discover
in the first instance, where the people
contiguous to it have been benefited
pecuniarily, only as matter of con-
venience. I know whereof | speak
when l say the railroad officials are
not in sympathy with the hand
that feeds them. And when / hear a
man say he does not want a railroad
commission, [ locate that man far
away from railroads is ignorant
of the many evils to which those who
live near are subject. l feel confident
the next Legislature will pass a rail
road bill; those who voted against it
at it's last session will not have the
pleasure of doing so again. "Let
justice be done though the heavens
fall"
May the Lord deliver US from plu-
tocratic rule, from "the Turk the
devil and the convict" bankers, mid
dlemen, trust companies, money lend
ers at exorbitant rates, railroads, &c.

there is total of gold and silver in

Anthony Republican: If the gov
ernment should take charge of the
railroads of the country, freight rates
would at once be established which
would not admit of trusts and comb
nations. One man could get car of
goods handled just as cheaply as an
other-it would be impossible to get
special rate. In other words, the rail
roads would be conducted on the same
principle that postofices are-without
profit to the government and strictly
in the interests of the people.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
BY OLD FOGY.

The issue of gold certificates and
their use is not we'll understood.
Gold certificates are largely use by
the importer, the broker and banker.
They are calls, or demands on the
U. S. Treasury for gold to balance
gold accounts. Gold certificates are
entirely aristocratic and the farmer
and la borer rarely if ever sees one.
Below you will find the size or de-
nomination of the gold certificates and
the amounts issued as we'll as the
amounts outstanding since 1866:
