i VNNAAAfAAta
TO the state Crop Statlsticlans Of The. National
! Farmers Alliance and Industrial Unions
DEAR BROTnERs:l In transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as 10
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 statlstlCians as 20
make them false, and instruments sub
servient % their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled TO sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity, BY such undue
advantages, millionaires have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed Of
theirJus prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 30
heavily mOrtgaged as 10 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 gem
eration Of farmers will be a generation Of
tenants at-Will.
Under such serious and impending
conditions II Is evident that in full de-
velOpment OF our strength and fearless
enforcement OF those true and patriotic
principles found in the announced teach.
ings 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 80 long borne the OPP
presssons of reckless speculators, 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 its depart
ments.
To efficiently utilize the full force and
effect Of our unity It Is essential chat
every member be thoroughly enlightened
with accurate knowledge Of the erteRt and
amount Qf0ar SeadiRg fjtrm products, such
as cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat ETC., as
well as TO have 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-
tlon as to farming statistics in reliable
form we must depend upon such re-
sources az are within our organization.
The Supreme Council mt the ST. Louis
meeting entertaining such views, enacted
sections II and 19 Of the statutory laws,
hereto appended, making It u part Of my
duty ~ Secretary Of the National Execu-
tive Board to make such crop reports TO
the President rs he may require, and in
pursuance Of the duties thus imposed,
have recently prepared and issued n cir
cular letter setting forth in general terms
the character of the reports expected from
State statistiCians, and now, in further
Of my duties, have prepared |
such blank forms as are deemed neCessa,

"Curious Occurrence in the Louvre-Y es-
terday morning a strange discovery was
made in the principal Egyptian Chamber.
The curriers' who are employed to clean
out the rooms in the morning found one Of
the attendants lying dead upon the floor
with his arms round one of the mummies.
So close was his embrace that it was
only with the utmost difficulty that
they were separated. One of the cases
containing valuable rings had been
opened and rifed The authorities
are of the opinion that the man was
bearing away the mummy with some idea
of selling it to private collector, but that
he was struck down in the very act by
long-standing disease of the heart. 1t is
said that he was a man of uncertain age
and eccentric habits, without any living
relations to mourn over his dramatic and
