SIXTH DISTRICT ALLIANCE.

The Alliance lecturers and dele
gates from the several counties OF the
Sixth Congressional District met at
Colby on the 10th to elect delegates
to the ST. Louis conference, and trans
act other important business. Like
the conventions Of the other districts,
that of the Sixth was in revolt against
the appointment of delegates by the
executive board. Strong resolutions
were adopted declaring the action Of
the Supreme Council in providing for
such appointment as unwarranted and
unjustifsble; and, inssmuch as it
was not mandatory, declaring the ex-
ercise Of the appointing power by the
executive board an unwise and srbi-
trsry assumption Of rights that belong
to the people.
The Sixth District Alliance was
merged into district labor bureau in
accordance with the recommendation Of
President Polk. In the evening q
good audience assembled and listened
with interest to speeches by Hon. A.
N. Wilmington, district lecturer elect,
and other speakers. Whoever thinks
the Alliance in the Sixth District is

the state which connected every exchange, both
with the past and the future; It was no longer

but thing, as 10 came, radiant and gFttering
from the temple Of Juno, Cleansed Of the blood
OF lnnOcents al the sweat Of captiveS that had
won 1t, was given the name mORetd.
From this time forward money ceased to be
looked at from comprehensive point OF view
There was no such thing as system Of money;
there was no attempt to ascertain, much less to
regulate the volume Of money: there was no Law
OF money. The unit of money was no longer all
money, but any one portion Of lt, provided II had
upon 1t the mark Of authority which certiat d Its
validity.
This conception of money lasted until about
the third or fourth century Of our era, then lt
took another step toward materiallSm. 1t had
fallen from numerG a to mOnCtG; 1t was now to
fall from mOneiG to pOnderdtd. The mark upon
pieces of money was no longer an assurance OF
their validity. It was now necessary to weigh
them, It was no longer coins that people we're
dealing In; 1t was quantities OF gold, silver or
copper. Everybody was buyer or seller Of
junk.
The pOnderdtG conception Of money continued
substantially until the re-Openlng Of commerce
by the VPnetlans. Itwas the conception, par
excellence of the Dark Ages.
Breaks took place now and then, exceptions
occurred here and there but this was the gener-
al view Of money from the fourth to the eighth
centuries, ard In some countries to much later
period Money was not the only institution Of
government that had perished; all institutions
had perished. There was no government except
the sword. There was no money. Exchanges
were made In kind or I n slaves or for bags Of
corn, or Jumps Of metal which men weighed to
one another.
From this degraded posture Of money have
sprung all modern laws and ideas on the sub
jsct.. When the decline Of European civilization
was arrested by the establishment Of stable gov
ernments In Asia, and the re-OpeniDg Of COM
merce with that continent, and when It's station
ary condition was changed to one Of progress by
the discovery Of America and a sea route to the
Indiss, the practice and conception Of money
advanced from It's position Of pOnderdtG to
moneta, and there it has substantially remainf d
ever since, Notwithstanding the deci'lons Ofsir
Matthew Hale, or Of the supreme court OF the
United States.
Il will be seen that history testifes,
not only to the fact that the people
of no country have ever prospered
under a monetary system in any way
similar to that of the present day, but
that the ideas now held by the Capital
and other advocates of an intrinsic
value gold basis money are relics Of
the dark ages and entirely unsuited
to the needs Of this generation.

A WORD TO OUR CO.OPERATIVE WRITERS.
U. F. Sargent, in the Cooperative
Department Of this issue, recommends
the organization Of cooperative in
dustries by "those who are not now
we'll employed-those in enforced
idleness."
This class Of men and women, il
must be remembered, are not only
idle but penniless, and the writer's
recommendations would be much
more satisfactory if accompanied by
information showing just how this
class Of people can institute "co oper-
ative production" and make it a sue
cess. Personally we very much fear
that this much sought for "plant" will
not be found growing spontaneously
In every garden. Cooperative pro-
duction and equitable exchange are
very desirable; but it occurs to us
that there is a good deal that is Wis
ionsry and very little that is practical
in much Of the writing upon this sub
jeCt. We opened the columns of The
ADVOCATE to this subject hoping TO re-
ceive some light upon these dark
features Of it. Will some writer now
get down TO business and tell us just
how idle and penniless men and wo-
men are to go to work to organize
these productive industries and equit-
able exchanges and make them sue
cessful2 Let us have less theory and
more that is practical.
The second article in the Co-operat-
i've Department points out many evils
that we all know to exist. We are
painfully reminded Of them every
day. We realize also that successful
cooperative establishments once in
operation would remedy many Of
these evils; but like the first writer
this one points out no path by which
those in need Of relief may find il.
We confess to good deal Of skepti-
cism concerning the ability Of the In
dustrial classes under present condi-
tions, to successfully insugurate Co
operative enterprises. About the only
cooperation we deem absolutely
practical at this time is political CO.
operation. Wipe out the conditions
that have brought every enterprise in
the entire county to the verge Of ruin,
and there may then be opportunities
and fields for successful cooperative
effort. We doubt if there will be be-
fore that time. We are open T. con-
viction, however, and our co operative
