The advocate., 1890-01-09

We send out a large number Of
Sample Copies Of tho ADVOCATE this
week, and we hope that Secretaries of
alliances and other members Of the
Order who receive these papers, will
take them TO their meetings and show
them TO the brothers The education
al feature Of our order is one Of the
utmost Importance, and one upon
which the final success Of our whole
effort depends. To carry out the pur-
poses Of this provision it is absolutely
essential that our members shall read
such journals as are published in the
interest of the Order and correctly
represent its principals, rather than
those devoted to the maintenance Of
party and sectional preiudices. The
policy Of the ADVOCATE will always be
in harmony with that indicated by the
National and State Organizations, aud
it will at all times support such meas
ures as these bodies shall adopt by
which to accomplish the grand pur-
poses Of the Order Previous to the
meeting Of the ST. Louis Convention.
No absolute settled policy had been
declared That convention, however,
declared in no ambiguous terms the
purposes and demands Of the order.
Those purposes and demands have al
80 received the sanction Of kindred
Orders, and the great united power OF
labor all over the land is pledged to
their enforcement The methods by
which these demands shall be enforced
will be indicated from time to time
from National headquarters, and the
ADVOCATE will follow in the course OF
this supervisory direction and endeav-
or to promote harmony Of purpose
and effort wherever it's influence may
extend. We ask the brotherhood to
unite in our support and give us such
encouragement as will be commen-
surate with our efforts for the good
of the Order. Alliance papers must
be sustained by Alliance men or they
will perish and the order be left with
no means Of defense or the dissemina.

"Do the State Laws of Assessment
and Taxation Bear Equally up
ON all its citizens2"

OH All lLb CltlNenbf
The above is the first upon the list
Of questions proposed for discussion
by the sub-alliances during the pres
ent winter season.
The question can be answered by a
no with a big N. They do not bear
equally nor is it possible to get them
to bear equally by an attempt TO lay
them equally in proportion to the
worth Of properties. Why notY One
class Of properties may be netting it's
owners a fortune while another class
may not be netting any surplus or g.
ven keeping it's owner out OF debt
Under the present system OF taxation
a packing house owner pays no more
in proportion to what he is worth than
does the farmer who has fattened and
shipped to him car load Of steers al-
though the price Of steers and dressed
beef is such as to enrich the packer
and lmpoverish the farmer. Such
taxation does not bear equally upon
all classes Of citizens.
AS / said before, one cannot get O.
quail taxation by an attempt to lay it
equally upon the worth Of properties.
Equality in this matter must come as
q resultant or after-effect. Lay ajax

Dear Sir,
Our State Grange has just closed la
eighteenth annual session. II has been a
very busy and wetrusta very satisfactory
one. A committee has been appointed
by the State Grange to confer with the
State Alliance, with a view to a mutual
agreement by these two bodies upon a
line Of policy for the coming year, upon
all important questions effecing our agrl.
cultural interests.
II is more than probable that our con

upon the platform lately adopted at N
Louis by the union convention, Our com
mittee consists Of Henry Rhodes, Gard
ner, Johnson Go. d. s. Fairchild, Over
brook, Usage Co., A. Il. Allen Vinand
Douglas Co. We trust you will sec that
a similar committee Is appointed ON the
part of the Alliance and that an early
conference il secured. ''In union there
is strength" We feel rs five could al
most see the dawning light Of that "new
civilization" referred to in your letter OF
18th Of may last. II we can dispel the
clouds Of ignorance, prejudice, local and
personal jealousies, and bring the indus
trial classes all to see "eye TO eye" upon
the living issues Of the hour, then will
success be assured and selfshness and
our COMPETITIVE SYSTEM of business,
give away to FRATERNITY and UNIVERSAL
COOPERATION.

His Business to Help Us. =

Worry hurts us more than work,
and as Christians we have no
right to be the victims of worry,
anxious care, depression and fore
bodings. Instead of complaints,
let us try supplication; instead of
breeding over difficulties, let us
tell them to Jesus, and spread out
our needs within "the presence
chamber of the Almighty" where
alone peace and strength abide.
Some Christian people appear to
hold we are invariably bound to be
stoical, and express no sorrow or
regret whatever, because God
chooses all; but He who was all
human, as well as all-divine, knows
that the floods overwhelm us
sometimes.
He who wept with the troubled
hearts at Bethany does not bid us
remain stoics in the hour of tribu-
lation. Let the tears have their
course, if need be-probe the
troubles to their depths-but do
not attempt to do so alone. Why
stay away from the mercy-seat at
the shadow time? Why not seek
the only heart that can comfort
and help and guide? We rem en-
Der once hearing a speaker tell
how in his youth he and young
companion became lost in the
maze at Hampton Court; they wan
dered about tired and discouraged,
but they felt sure they would find
their way out presently, and they
thought it would seem foolish to
ask direction, though they saw an
old man working not far off. All
their efforts, however, proved I'M
availing, and at last they came with
red faces to ask the old man if he
could possibly tell them how to
get out of the maze. "Why," he
answered, that's just what I'm
here for. Why did you not say
you wanted to get out before?" And
he put them alto nee on the right
track. Those young men learnt
that day not to rely so absolutely
on their own wisdom and ability.
There is One who stands ready to
be our counselor, our guide, our
light, in every labyrinth. Instead
of yielding to worry, let us simply
ask Him to take US by the hand
and lead US through.-The Culver.

Friendship is frequently made an
excuse for unpunishable imperti-
hence by people who pride them
selves on speaking their minds
freely. The truth, maliciously
spoken, may be ibelous; and when
volunteered in relation to matters
with which the utterer has no con-
Germ, it is very often unmannerly.
As surely as pleasant truths kind
ly meant and said are passports to
friendship and affection, SO surely
do bitter ones provoke the enmity
and hatred of those to whom they
are addressed. If you have taste
for sharp repartee, restrain it. 1t
