the NaJ1Onak U MON 20. Is dome the same
as for any other business corporation,
md we distinctly warn our member
ship that it is not an F. M. B. A. or alli-
ance institution. Each day develops it's
methods as being more and more Ques-
tionable, and we would not advise any
F. M. B. A. store to enter the company
If you deal with it, do so as you would
with any other outside institution

In letter just published, Hon.
Hugh Mccullough, ex-secretary of the
treasury, expresses two opinions: First,
that no new action on the coinage ques-
ton is needed. Second, that the people
have found paper money too great a
convenience to consent to it's disuse,
and that whether in the future this
popular circulating medium shall be
furnished by some new system of ma
tional bonds or supplied directly by the
government, is a question that will
soon demand the attention of most of
our statesmen"
1t is just as much the duty of our
government to furnish money sufficient
to meet all the demands of trade as it
is to furnish postage stamps sufficient
to answer all the demands of CORE
spondence, and as intrinsic value does
not belong to postage stamps neither
should it belong to money. The fact is
it belongs to neither. Both are Great
ures of the law. Without the image and
superscription of our government they
stand for nothing. AS one is cheap and
abundant and uniform in price to facil-
itate the demands of correspondence so
ought the other to be cheap and album
dant and of uniform value to supply the
wants of trade. All this babbling about
intrinsic value and specie basis is the
sheerest nonsense.-Alliance Echo.
Here is the proof that the peoples
party is getting up in the southern
states: Local reform papers cannot live
without a party organization behind
them; in fact it keeps them busy in some
localities to live with the organization
That being the case what is the mean
ing of all these peoples party papers
we get from Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Old Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, and in
fact nearly every southern state They
are live, healthy looking papers, too
The latest one to which our attention
has been called is the Virginia Sun,
published at Richmond, the very home
of the old confederacy. It is well along
in its second year and is getting better
all the time. It carries the new declara-
ton of independence at its head.-To-
peka Tribune.
The Oregon peoples party platform
has this provision on the liquor traffic:
''That alcohol in any form shall be sold
by state agents, said goods to be pure
and sold at a cost without profit to the
agent, and shall not be drunk within
the building, nor within sixty feet Of
the place where delivered, nor in any
place Of resort or gambling; thus abol-
ishing the license, the saloon in society
and the saloon in politics. The national
government shall not license the sale of
any alcoholic substance in any state
legally prohibiting the sale thereof, nor
shall it in any way interdict or inter-
fere with such prohibitory laws;' and
this on equal suffrage: eve affirm our
unqualified adherence to the doctrine of
equal rights to all, special privileges to
none, and that we will never cease our
efforts till every citizen shall stand be-
fore the law equal in intellectual,
moral and civil privileges"
