AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM BROTHER
COOPER.
o the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.

Ala
matter of time. The people are progress
sive; they are studying political economy
and social forms; and the clearer the
mind becomes, the better they under
stand these problems, the more they will
realize the great need for closer union
Of all wage workers, and recognize the
fact that only by united and persistent
effort can the much needed reform be
accomplished.
The great growing gulf between the
rich and the poor is menace to the prin-
ciples of our republican form Of govern
ment, to our free institutions and to the
free exercising of liberty Of conscience
and liberal expression Of sentiment and
principles to which all are justly en-
titled.
The two great extremes Of wealth and
poverty cause one constant ferment and
agitation Of the public mind. 1t destroys
that peace Of mind, of happiness, Of se-
curity and contentment that we as
people and country might and ought to
enjoy; it is an obstacle In the way of our
prosperity and an impedlment to our
progress, and to a higher plane of moral
ity and purity. FOR the betterment Of
Of the condition of the working masses
and Q sounder state of society, the deep,
wide gulf now existing between the
wealth producer and the parssitiCal
wealth absorber must be leveled.
Labor or human effort produces what
we call wealth, and almost everything
that makes life pleasant and enjoyable,
and upon the principles of right and JUS
tice the laboring classes should enjoy a
fair share of the wealth they create, and
should be able to have the necessary
comforts and even luxuries of life equal
With any other class of society.
The accumulated wealth of the country
must be more evenly distributed, and we
must have laws to prevent the concentra-
.tion and accumulation of millions Of
money In the hands of private individuals
who may use it to either to crafty a sell
fish ambition, to feed their low, besstly
passions, or to tyrannize over the poor or
oppress the unfortunate.
Money, concentrated and controlled by
very limited number of privste indi-
vldusls united by organization, becomes
the most treacherous and most dangerous
enemy to the common people and to their
interests, and also to country in times
of trouble and misfortune; when It's SER
vices are most needed it very often be-
comes secret and very active enemy, or
In cowardly manner hides away. Mon
ey being the most convenient, and in
fact, necessary, in the present state Of
our civilization for the exchange of
wealth and the products of labor, for the
benefit Of the people, should be kept In
active circulation; and In proportion to
the increase of our wealth and popula-
tioD, and the demands of business, It's
volume should be large enough so as to
effect an easy exchange without delay or
too much friction. The object for con-
fining constitutional right to a central
government, who should be held respOn-
slble by the people, to issue money and
regulate its value, should also control
and regulate Its volume In the interests
OF the people and every branch Of indus
try; and not to establish q system Of
usury which has virtually given the con-

OF Cne LeQ0r&llBCS Anu TepuOIlcRnas 0tC,
Pamphlet No. 2, under the heading Of
an "Address by j. F. Tlllman, general
manager and director of the Lecture

ance and Industrial Union," contains
the following startling declaration: 1T
must be evident now to every inte ligent,
fair minded man that the presidency Of
the United States for the next term will
be he d by either Grover Cleveland or
the present incumbent, Benjamin Harri-
son, for certainly no candid mind can,
under existing facts, hope for or expect
the election OF Gen. Weaver or the pro-
hibition can iidate. This being true, it
is necessary for me to refer TO the teach

dress, SO far only as they tend to throw
light upon the issues involved between
the democratic and republican parties;"
and then follows an attack on the repub-
lican party which leaves no doubt that
Mr.. Tillman's only design is to strengthen
Cleveland with the third party.
The pamphlet, "The Force Bill is
Alive" is made up Of quotations from re
publican papers and spesksrs, including
extracts from an alleged interview with
Cabot Lodge, all intended to set of the
southern bugbear In it's most startling
proportions.
In his "open letter." Mr.. Tillman at
tempts to prove the charges Of extravs.
gaRce on the part Of the Fifty. first
congress, and says: "In the light OF all
the incontrovertible facts presented in
the speeches of representatives Holman.
Sayers and Dockery, coUious extracts
from which are printed in the pages that
follow. deem it my duty to say to the
people that they should 10 longer be de-
ceived by q comparison between the
Fifty-6rst and Flfty-second congress,
which does not show that the extrava-
gsnce OF the Fifty first congress forced
the heavy expenditures of the Fifty-sec-
ond congress, and that the tendency Of
the extravaganza Of the Fifty first con-
gress is to impoverish the country by
sapping the life blooi from all productive
pursuits, and reducing the producer to a
condition of abj.ct slavery"
In the pamphlet entitled "More
Money" Tillman booms the wildcat
money plank in the democratic platform
in black type and these words: 1.-THE
plan to repeal the tax of 10 per cent.
upon all bills issued by other than ma
tional banks, and the establishment OF
state banks Of issue, is practicable; it de-
,'ntralizes the money power; it will pre-
vent the control of the currency by o
lew; it meets the appreciation of more
people than any other scheme, and it
ocalizes our currency"
AT THE OFFICE OF THE "EcoNo-
MIST"
Taken singly and collectively, these
pamphlets are an open reputation of
Weaver and the Peoples party platform,
and an Ingenious advocacy of Grover
Cleveland and the democratic principles,
coming with the force OF direct |
ssue from the literary bureau attached |
o the Washington headquarters OF the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union. |
A fact that lends the weight Of addi-
.ional authority to these utterances is |

chairman, and J. F. Tillman, as score.
tary, constitute majority.
The general expression Of the pamphlets
is p oof in itself OF the fact that both
McCune and TillmRn are working in the
interests Of the democratic party, but, by
way of cumulative evidence, the informa-
tion is furnished The correspondent Of
the Cube Democrat by credible authority,
that for some time past, emissarieG from
democratic headquarters in New York
have been in Washington in close nego-
tiation with parties who direct the
affairs OF the National EcOnoMist. One Of
the principal men in this deal is said 10
be E. P. Speer, correspondent of several
southern papers, and also trusted clerk
in the national headquarters Of the dem
ocratic party. Speer ppent great part
OF his time for week at the Economist
office, returning to New York about q
week ago, his stay here covering the
period during which the greater number
OF the pamphlets were mailed. It 10 ca
timated that about 125,0O0 copies Of
each pamphlet were sent out, the list Of
names being obtained from the mailing
list OF the National EcOn0mSst. This is
probably small estimate, as the paper
alone 10 said to have that many names
on its list, and as other Lists besides this
were probably used.
M'cUNEs ITALIAN HAND.
McCune is known to have been in New
York on mysterious mission for five
weeks past, returning to Washington
every Saturday, and departing the fol-
lowing Monday, and is suspected Of
spending most of his time as an adviser
to the democratic national committee
The Farmers Alliance editor came to
Washington from Texas about three
years ago. He was connected with that
state with an alliance business exchange,
which is said to have failed for some.
thing like $4,000 during his connection
with it. Recently he declared in an edl.
torial that the Economist has never paid
a dividend, and in his opinion never will.
In view of this utterance, men who do
not like Mr.. McCune too we'll say that he
liyes in $4,000 house, and report that
quite recently he paid off mortgage Of
$500, while his living expenses are not
undsr $4,000 year. On top Of all this,
McCune is believed to be the man who
wrote the pamphlets, for the reason that
Tillman is not credited with the ability
to write them, and because they possess
the esr-mark Of McCune's diction and
political reasoning.
An interesting fact connected with
these disclosures is that there is no such
a thing as Lecture Bureau Of the Ma
tionsl Farmers Alliance" Such o
bureau was talked Of, but never per-
fected, and hence has no existence. Till
man came to Washington from Tennes-
see. He was at one time secretary Of the
state Of Tennessee, but got side-tracked
in the farmers movement, and came to
the capital two years ago as member of
the executive committee Of the alliance.
Since the opening Of the campaign he

Queen victoria's Dog.

Dogs were first admitted to the court Of
England in the reign of Henry VIII. Un-
der the reign three dogs have been elevated
to the highest canine dignities on account
OF their aristocratic families and their own
peculiar merits. The names of the aristo-
cratic trio are Marco, Roy and Spot. Marco
IS the queens favorite, and he used to be
jealous of John Brown. His ancestry can
be traced back to the Crusaders He is
what they call in England POmeranian,
and at one of the recent dog shows he won
the first priZe-the mug of honor The
other favorite, Roy, is a collie, and Spot is
fox terrier with a record of twenty-five
rats in a quarter of an hour.
These canine lords have their residences
with their special names. Her majesty's
dog place is divided into three parts, the
queens veranda, collie court and umbrella
court The veranda is the principal one.
1t is a covered gallery around the kennel,
and the queen likes to walk there.
Each kennel has dining room and a
bedroom. The floor of the dining room is
separated from the veranda by an iron
grating. 1t is paved with red and blue
bricks, and the furniture consists of a
trough always full of fresh water. The
bedrooms have two large windows, gener-
ally kept open tor the purpose of ventila-
tion, and in snug corner in each room
there is a very low bed with mattress of
fresh straw.
Umbrella court gets its name from the
big umbrella in the middle of it, under
which the big dogs can shelter themselves
from the sun and rain. A host of servants
wait upon the canine nobility, and the
queen is very severe with the officials who
do not pay proper attention to her dogs. A
chef is provided for them, and his instruc-
tions are to vary the menu Of the dinners
OF her majesty's pets and to consult their
