SOME STRANGE SILVER FACTS.

If the following facts do not show
the absolute Iottenness of the anti
silver gang. then nothing short of the
power of God will.
We want Alliance men not only to
read these facts, but become familiar
with them. So long as such actual
facts exist there is no aSO for the
lies perpetrated upon western legisla
lures to go unrefuted.
In the first place, as to the demand
for, and use of, silver as money: The
average reader would suppose that the
world had Topped off the silver cur
rency from the worlds commerce! 1t
is continually published, in this country
particularly, that silver is a drug, and
banished from us!
Why is this? Simply because Eng
land cheats India out of from II to
two hundred million dollars a year in
the following manner:
She demOnetizes silver at home
and sends Ernest Seyd, the banker,
with $500, 600 to the United States; and
buys up the Union to a similar policy.
And thus silver CheapenS to England,
for we are exporting supply for her.
But her vast exchange with India IS
all in silver!
To convince the Alliance men that
the howl against silver is a delusiOn
and a snare we publish herewith a
table showing the amount Of both
GOLD AND SILVER
currency in the commercial world. 1t
is not u own. 1t is from the Director
of the Mint-and is for the present
wears:

To the brotherhood Of The n. T. Il e

To the brotherhood of The N T. 4. e
T. o.:
We Ire now approaching the most
critical period in our existence as an
Order. The d~emoralizing elements,
which always enter into q political
campaign, T already being mar
shalled by the enemies Of our Order,
with a determined purpose to divide
and disrupt us, if possible. No de-
vice or scheme will be left untried.
Every effort will be made to divert the
minds of the people from the great is
sues which are essentially the very life
OF our great reform movement.
It was this knowledge of the situa-
ton that prompted the action of the
National Legislative Council in matur-
ing a plan for q lecture system and
for presenting in to the Order for adOp-
ton. The ultimate, inevitable. and tri-
umphant success Of our principles is
assured, if this system be actively and
faithfully prosecuted. For the Ameri-
can farmers and all other Classes and
interests which are SO intimately re-
lated to them, will not fail to stand to-
gether for right, justice and equity, if
properly informed. If prosecuted as
designed, this system will engage the
services during this year of not less
than 35, 900 lecturers in Our, cause. l
earnestly invoke the aid and cO-0pera-
ton of the entire brotherhood, in secur-
ing q faithful lecturer, for every subOr-
dinate Alliance, aud for every Congress
sional district, within the jurisdiction
of u Order throughout the whole
country.
Arrangements are also being made
for the holding of two or more grand
Alliance mass meetings in each of the
Alliance States during~the year, or as
many 0 as thebrOtherhood may de-
sire. Let us have your active and
earnest sympathy in making this the
great educational campaign year in
our history, and thus be prepared to
meet any emergency that may arise.
State and county officers especially
are earnestly admonished to push this
work IN their respective jurisdictions
zealously and vigorouslye
The enemy Is actively on the alert.
1t Is his purpose to buy or control the
press al far as possible. Failing with

create divisions and dissensiOns in our
ranks.

for the overthrow and destruction of

the most speedy and effectual. : such
methods as would create dissension

and strife among the membership.
How eagerly and how e~xuItantly they
hail the least Indication of this! Ii an
.erring brother so far fOrgets his Obllga-
tiOns to the Order as to 8Ssall its prln-
ciples publicly he Is heralded by the
politicians and the partisan press as a
hero. If paper which has been de
signated a representative of the prln
iples of our Order proves false to It's
most sacred compact and assaIls our
members, or II principles, ~ thereby
gains speedy admittance to the respect
and confidence Of enemies. II IN
huential or prominent members, disre-
garding their obligations to each other
and to the Order, engage in a public
personal warfare through the press or
otherwise, our enemies are abundantly
satisfied.
No member of our Order has the
right to aSSail another member public
Iy, through the press or otherwise, so
long as their names are on u roll of
membership. Such an offense is a VIC
lation of the obligation and should
merit expulsion. No paper vested with
authority to represent our Order Otfi-
cially has the right to assail DUR prin-
ciples or any member Of the Order
while acting in such a capacity. Such
an offense should cause all true ALI
ancemen to repudiate such paper
promptly. No member, while his
name remains on our rolls, has a right
to assan the principles of the Order
publicly. He is not only permitted,
but is encouraged by our law, to dis
cUss any and all measures coming
within our province with the utmost
freedom and to any extent he may de
sire within the Order. But the will
of the majority is the law Of the Order,
and if he can not acquiesce in the de-
cisiOn Of the majority, and feels that
he is conscientiOusly impelled to go
before the public and assail our prln-
ciples, he should first divest himself
of his Alliance uniform. With what
consistency could q Baptist or Metho-
dist go before the world and publicly
oppose and denOunce some of the most,
cherished tenets of his church, How
long would his name remain on his
church book? How long ought it to
remain there? Why should he ex-
pect or desire to remain in the
church?
Loyalty to Alliance principles is the
only true Alliance test, not only as to
membership, but 1t should faithfully
be applied in the selectionof allof1cers,
from the steward in a subordinate ALI
ance to the President Of the National
Alliance, and it must be applied In the
selection Of those whoare to make and
execute laws, if we would reason
ably hope for the reforms which we
seek.
We want no foes within II camp.
We can live better without them than
with them. Let the membership be
watchful and faithful, and guard with
untiring vigilance the principles Of the
Order. Never was the outlook for our
cause so hopeful and encouraging.
We have only to be true to u princi-
piles, true to our obligations and to UUr
noble Order, and all will be well.
F~raternally,
L. L Polk.

This table is of extraordinary I'M

mercial world to-day there is more
silver money IN use than gold. Also
that even gold nations like England

tions are completely tree from a gold

Francei is to day the most prosperous
