Some Unwritten Work.

My DEAR DR.:-NOw for little I'M
written work. The farmers around
seem to be possessed with a fear OF
some undeniable Bug-a-boo connect
ed with the Alliance that suppresses
all faith in the undertaking. They
must get acquainted by gradual ap-
proaches; in my opinion we must
have a meeting every Saturday after
noon, and let them come or go as
their courage prompts them, and
when they find there is no harness to
be put on them and that it is a means
of individual betterment, and not
a burden to be imposed upon them
they will gradually break into the
work. We must put a stop to all
leadership and make it plain that
there is do demagoguery about the
institution. Alliance No. $50 has not
adopted any constitution and by
laws as yet; but l think it will grow
on us by degrees. Ii the farmers
would only take the GREAT WEST

do something for themselves. What

Caesars Column is the name OF
another remarkable book, which will
be reviewed next week. It's aim is the
same as that of Looking Back
ward" But the method is precisely
the opposite.
Looking Backward is a view of
the world after the labors of the Al
liances and Nationalist Clubs have
accomplished their mission.
Caesars Column" is view of the
world after one hundred years Of
such plutocratic tendencies as mark
our own age ending in the total de-
struction of civilization.
Both are built around a "story."
Both are wonderful works. We
are now selling Looking Backward
at soc. for paper edition. We hope
to sell Caesars Column in cloth
soon. The latter book is not pub
lished in paper, and the price, in
cloth, is $1.25-most too high for us
to handle. And yet if we pay post
age it cannot be sold for much less.
Will refer to the matter again.
