In regard to the Business Agency
Fund, it remains in tact, and has not
been perverted as has been charged
by the enemies of the order; not even
has the State Business Agent been
called upon to use any of it to pay
overdrafts, or deficiencies which was
thought might occur in the regular
order of business when the Agency
was established. In meeting of the
Executive Committee to-day, upon
examination of the books of the
Secretary-Treasurer and Business
Agent, we find them all correct, and
the charges that any of the funds of
the a lllance had been used for polit-
lcai purposes are utterly false. Also
we wish to warn you against the
many other charges and publications
being made about the Alliance. The
organization has no connection what
ever with the many wild schemes
that are being charged against it.

SECRETARY CARLISLE of the United
States treasury was recently rendered a
banquet in New York city, on which
occasion were assembled two hundred
and fifty milliOnaires. The secretary
arose and descanted at length on the
single gold standard theory, much to
the appreciation of his equity and SEN
sual hearers. The poor farmers out
here on the wind-kissed prairies OF
Kansas should need no more proof of
the wisdom of the gold standard policy
after an event OF this kind and they
should Immediately pledge eternal al
legIance to the parties fostered by these
selfish old blatherskites. IL is also a
pleasant and satisfying spectacle to the
iabOring people of this country to see
our important government officials
dining with millionaires. enjoying the
caresses and cajolings of these blood
suckers, and then returning to their
posts of duty to rob the poor in the in
terest Of the rich.
