Oklahoma has been placed under rogu-
lar form OF government, and good land
titles are thereby assured. The Iowa reser-
vation, joining IL on the east, will shortly be
opened for settlement This will bring
about an increased immigration. Guthrie
and Oklahoma City, the two largest oitiesin
the new territory, are reached only via the
Santa Fe route. Norman, Edwond, Alfred
and Purcell, all thriving towns, are also lO-
cal points on the Santa Fe line. In travel
ing TO Oklahoma for sightseeing or busi-
nees, be sure 10 buy tickets via the Santa Eo

ANTRIM, Kan, December LIST, 1890.
EDITOR ADVOCATED like to suggest
TO you an editorial for an alliance mem
bership by simply stating what our union
(W. Albano No. 39O) has started in to do.
Several OF our members volunteered to
donate quite number Of miscellaneous
standard books as a nucleus for a library,
while the school directors will furnish
the material for a suitable book case.
We intend to organize a cooperative
reading club and Jointly subscribe for the
leading reform periodicals, and exchange
reading matter We meet every other
Friday evening on alliance business, and
the other intervening Friday evening we
shall devote to regular alliance socials,
have old and young turn out and have
general social talks, same lnterspersed
with music, singing and suitable speak
ing, and thus spend interesting evenings
long to be remembered by old and young.
| think il this plan was adopted generally
and carried out it would make us many
new members and many extra votes for
1892. We must extend our sociabllity and
become dominating by setting good ex-
amples. am pleased tosee your several
articles on co operation. This is q sub
iect our people need reading up on for
the many promises it has, and our main
subscriptions will be for periodicals Of
that kind in our local club. Co-Opera-
tlon is one of our main hopes to fight
monOpOlies, and we must get our COnstit-
uents more familiar with It's principles.
These alliance socials in each county
should be timed that near unions would
not meet on the same evening, affOrding
neighboring members an opportunity to
exchange visits, and especially those able
TO do public speaking try to be present
and give encouraging words when they
can. Every little encouragement is
desired. Exchanging visits would be one
Of the interesting and social features. SO
please give these points attention In the
ADVOCATE as you think they deserve.
Yours fTaternally,
|. B. WERNER.

hh uOuDtlebb W0 are buMeFinB from the
last squeeze Of which our financial anat-
omy could be capable OF enduring. This
ground 10 amply safe at thirty billion dol
lars assessed value, which In our state
(Knnsas) as well no great many others,
is about one third actual value. Now
for the redeeming OF these national bank
notes, outstanding bonds, etc., and restor
Ing cash basis il will require S8,OOO,-
100000 or 10 per cent. OF our assessed
realty, which 10 less than 3 per cent Of
the actual value. Now, for an lllustra-
tlon, Farmer Jones has a farm the actual
value Of which 10 $4,000, therefore the
assessed value is $1,000. Our govern
ment needs 10 per cent. Of this assessed
wealth as circulating medium for the
people TO do business with. We go to
Farmer Jones and explain that we will
Issue ton $40 bills or their equivalent In
greenbaCks, putting this money through
the proper channels, viz: paying sena-
tors, Representatives, and all government
salarled men or women and directly TO
the old soldiers for pensions. This
money Is not issued upon Mr.. Jones but
upon q certain quarter section Of land the
fee simple title Of which is now invested
In Mr., Jones, but ssshall not impair the
value Of the bills by a change Of owner
ship, and 10 secure Mr. Jones for this
loan they give him $lOO government
bond drawing 2 ORB per cent. per annum
orsuCh per cent as this amount Of cur
rency through supply and demand will
regulate, making the redemption Of these
bonds optional with the government.
This will in all probability give us the
cheapest money known TO the world, and
one that cannot be cOrnered in time Of
war as was the case in 1850, and in fact
back through a decade Of all time since
finance was known in specie form and
is equally known in peace. For II the
plumbers and Eavages Of war devastate
and destroy improvements there would
certainly be a great many times more
value left in the bare land for redeeming
this money than the pAr cent issue at
our present depressed value. And again
when we increase our circulation In this
manner we will raise the price Of Farmer
Jones' farm about 100 per cent; say to
100000 real value and give us an as
sessed value of over 100 billion and real
value to our wealth Of over 200 billion
instead OF a bare 80 to 50billlon. Also this
will make the paying powers Of this
man greater and II now in debt his debt
could more easily and quickly be liquida-
ted. SO by this theory we stimulate our
redeemlng quality as well as our de-
Clining trade and commerce and GER
talnly Farmer Jones will not object very
seriously even II the paltry 2 or 3 per
cent does not make him rich, and further
he holds his bond which can be used as
In case horse dies In a busy
season he does not have to 80 10 his
neighbOr TO use his name as surety or
mortgage his last COW. And IL the gov
0Fnment wishes TO keep these bonds in

or assigns, II might be better policy to 90
arrange them, then our credit Is all the

grounds to apprehend the same germ

great leader, Abraham Lincoln, o short
time prior TO his tragic death, which was

pose Of the overthrow Of our financial
government. And Of which God knows
we are all mindful today, and many Of ua

amount Of circulating medium we had
In 1866; but will great deal more than

here Is where our banker friends will

"Where ls there anything to redeem

above theory, that we will have to answer
sooner or later and we might just as we'll
beard the hon In his den. Now, II II Is
right TO have a redeeming quality In gold
or silver as Is claimed TO circulate paper
money, have we not other values that
are just as goodP In all probability we
have. Now TO investigate this we will
insist that $50 per capita, or about that,

How TO KEEP Your FRIENDS
A girl | know said: "I'm a great one
at making friends" 1t sounded as if
she ought to be very happy, but when
| had a minute to think | wondered if
she were good in keeping them. Max
ing friends is easy to the girl who is
bright and happy, whose society gives
pleasures and who is genial. But the
keeping of them demands more than
this:
If you want to keep a friend don't
get too intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts and permit
her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in
the way of confidence.
And do not be too aggressive, want
ing to know why she hasn't done this,
and why she doesn't think as you do.
If you think your friends style of
dress is not beautiful, don't tell her;
you can only offend her, because deep
in her heart she is convinced that she
knows a great deal more about it than
you do.
Do not find fault with your friends
friend, and do not expect to be the
only one given a corner in her heart.
Be as considerate of her feelings as
if she were a stranger, and remember
that ~politeness is an everyday garment
and not one intended for high-days
and holidays. To sum it up in one
sentence preserve the courtesy of the
beginning if you wish to keep your
friendship to an end.

THE general idea that hard times in
the east necessarily mean the same
thing on the Pacific coast is by no means
sustained by the facts. California, Ore
gon and Washington seemed to profit by
the panic of 1873. immigration to this
state was really stimulated by that finan-
cial disaster. Los Angeles, in particu-
lar, had quite lively boom in 1878 and
1874. The failure of the Bank of Cali
fornia and of Temple & Workman in this
city, which occurred in the fall of 1875,
it is true, hurt us, but that was strictly
local affair. Unfortunately for the
budding city, that sweeping calamity
was followed by the drouth and smallpox
epidemic of 11876-77, which laid us out
for time. The revival which led up
to the boom put in an appearance in
1880, and held steady pace till the
close of 1887. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if, after the first effects, the present
eastern financial crisis should lead to an
increased immigration to this coast. on
the principle that people like to escape

wish to make money, no doubt, like
other men, but they are willing to risk
their money on the die.
1t is hard to write about San Bernar-
dino without seeming to exaggerate. In
company with Major Fl. L. Drew, the
writer took spin over the valley, pass
ing on the way the Mound City tract, in
which several Los Angeles gentlemen,
including Mr.. E. L. Mayberry and Mr..
Fuller, are interested in common with
Major Drew. The tract is ideal orange
land, with perfect exposure and abso-
lutely protected from the north wind.
Near portion OF this tract are the ar
tesian wells which supply Riverside with
water for domestic purposes. One Of
these wells discharges stream of one
hundred and fifteen miners inches,
making almost small river. When it
is understood that this we'll alone pours
out 1886, 900 gallons of water every twen-
ty-four hours, it may be imagined what
a mighty volume is realized from half a
dozen OF them.
During our ride we. passed several
young orange orchards, as to the yield
of which Major Drew had the statistics.
One grove OF three acres and quarter,
which was only eight or nine years old,
had already yielded in successive years
$500, $1,000 and $l700. Instances of
orchards of mature trees that had yield
ed thousand dollars an acre and up
ward were by no means infrequent. The
profits of growing oranges are no longer
a subject Of debate. 1t may be interest
ing to note, however, that in passing
Major Drew's lovely two hundred and
forty-acre farm in the center of the val
ley, he informed us that he cleared last
year $500 an acre from his peaches, and
$S5 an acre from his dried
grapes. The profits made by some
of the adjoining growers who dried de-
ciduous fruits were something remarka-
BILE, running up in some cases to $500
and 5000 per acre. Major Drew's orange
orchard is three-quarters of a mile long,
and the quality OF the fruit is nonpareil.
Any one who desires to have realiz-
ing sense of the magnitude of our grow
ing fruit interests ought by all means
to go over the San Bernardino valley.
The city already contains 5000 souls
and her immediate environs 5000 more.
The valley will shortly be one of the
most thickly populated regions in
America, of course barring out the big
cities. A visit there is instructive in
! the extreme.
