What is the Propaganda fund
ANS 1t is special fund composed OF
donations for the purpose of assisting the
alliance educational work. 1t is in
charge of the Propaganda fund COM
mittee which is composed of the presi-
dent and secretary and the executive
board of the order. The regulations
governing it are that none can be paid
out except by unanimous consent of the
| Propaganda fund committee. At regu-
lar intervals the secretary publishes in
| The National Economist all receipts aDZ
! disbursements of this fund. All litera-
ture purchased with this fund must be at
cost. and all services rendered by officers
or others in handling or disbursing this
fund or any of its literature, must be
without pay. Every effort is to De made
to every dollar do the most possible good.
To what use is the Propaganda fund
applied9
Ans. To the purchase of pamphlets,
tracts and leaflets explaining and defend
ing alliance principles and to the distri-
button of literature to reform and other
papers for publication, and sometimes TO
paving the actual expenses of lecturer

Does this Propaganda fund correspond
to the campaign funds of the political
parties3
ANS. 1t does not in any sense of the
word. Campaign funds, as used in poll
tics, represents money paid by capitalists
to dominate the administration after the
party have succeeded, and it is distrib-
uted largely as Doodle for corrupt pui-
poses. Its object is to perpetuate ma
chane domination. The Propaganda
fund is more nearly represented by the
manner in which the Irish fight for lib
erty has been conducted. The expenses
have been met by donations from those
devoted to the cause of liberty. Our
battle will soon be raging, our cause is
is an embodiment of right, justice and
equity, we strive to emancipate prodnc-
tive labor from the money power to OPP
press and thereby prevent the enslavement
of posterity. Every person who assists
in this cause is hero. Let each give as
the Lord has prospered him.

ganda fund be sent?
