SO rapid for twenty years past, promises
to be alarmingly acceiera ted during the
next eighteen months, by reason OF the
general foreclosure now imminent on
account of apprehended legislation of
finance.
On every side the evidences Of gener-
al depression and distress are alarm
ingly apparent But further enumera-
ton is unnecessary here. There must
be remedy and it is to you that we
appeal that you may lay aside every
feeling, save that of our common coun-
try's good, and join us in an honest
effort TO right existing evils
For twenty-five years industrial or
carnations, representing a vast por-
ton of our American citizenship. have
been conducting schools Of political
economy. Social conditions have been
discussed from every standpoint, and
the demands of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial union, concurred in by
twenty-five national organizations at
st. Louis in February, 1904 is the se-
suit of this education. These demands
embody the policies advocated by this
organization for the permanent relief
of the country from present troubles
and future danger.
This order and other kindred bodies
throughout the United States firmly
rely on the suficiency of the remedies
therein contained.
Your earnest attention is called to
each and all of said demands, which
cover generally the whole field OF
economic thought. During all these
years petitions, demands, ,remonstrances
aud requests, coming from those or
ganizations, have been urged by proper
committees and otherwise before the
conventions of the dominant political
parties, and the attention of state and
national legislative bodies has been di-
rected hundreds of times to them, but
ali in vain.
In the language of the great dcclara-
ton: "Our petitions have been re elected
and we have been spurned with con-
contempt from the foot of the throne" !"
Nor does the attitude of the present
national administration furnish any
responsible hope for relief. Its we'll
known policy will further aggravate
the situation. 1t stands avowedly op-
posed to our demands and largely at
variance from the constituency to
which it owes it's elevation to power.
Having no further hope that our pa.
titions will be met with respect from
that quarter we now appeal to the
great mass of individual citizens OF
America, whose suffrage is the supreme
power of the land, to unite with US in
support of just measures of relief.
Our interests are identical and by
united effort the principles advocated by
jefferson may be restored and equality
and justice established. The iutelli'
gent ballot is the true weapon of de-
fense. The calm judgment of the peo-
pie is the essential thing to restore
prosperity and confidence.
Firmly relying on the cooperation OF
every patriotic, iberty-loving suffregas
of America, we pledge ourselves anew
to the great cause in which we havt
been so long enlisted.

chairman; r. A. Cain, Wood county; J.

COMMODITY MONEY.

A Nom -Fluctuating Standard Of Value I'm
possible So Long We Have Conn.,
modify Money.
As long as the country uses a COM
modify money we will have a currency
of huctuating values-it cannot in the
nature of things be otherwise. For in
stance: The population of the United
States increased 20 per cent. from 1870
to 1890; the gold production fell off "a
per cent. $3.50, 200, 900 to $3a, s45, ,O0O in
the same period. whereas, to keep pace
with the population, it should have
risen to $50, 600, 600. Silver production,
on the other hand, increased in the
same time Sc per cent. 1866, 00O, 900 to
s1O3, 600, ,OOO)-not so great an increase
as that of population, but it has the
merit of trying to keep up, at least,
And yet financial demagogues, putting
on a vast dignity, talk to us
profoundly of a Notwithstanding
standard of value, and a stable par
ity of values between the two metals!
The value of these metals, as each to
itself and to the other. varies daily ac-
cording to the supply and demand. The
people are studying this lawful deep"
money question, and the first supersti-
ton they are dropping is that any one
or two metals have any divine royal
rights as money material Another dis
covery they have made is that intrinsic
value commodity money is always
f1uctuating. Another discovery is that
commodity money is always under the
thumb of the organized money dealers
and Wall street gamblers. They have
also to remember Cts an old discovery
that a metal money is coward and a
traitor, always going into hiding whom
needed to save the nations life. Who
has forgotten it? 1t has been a long,
bitter, costly lesson for the common
people-this learning what money is
not. And now we are learning what it
should bean ideal function rather
than a metal of supposed intrinsic
value; legal instrument furnished by
the state for the purpose of effecting
transfers or exchanges Of value from
hand to hand. 1t is no more necessary
that true money should have material
value in itself than that yard-stick, a
quart measure, warehouse certificate,
or farm deed should. The people are
rapidly learning, but until the MAJ jor-
ity catches up, the old hard money sys-
tenn, with its accompanying wholesale
plundering of producers and laborers,
will have to be endured.-Hartford

EcLIPSES THEM ALL.
Twenty-Five Thousand People Here Thurs
day-A Record Breaker.

If the spirit of old Jim Lane looked
down on Camp Logan Thursday it no
doubt said as old Jim would have
said IN the flesh; "Grcat God, where
did the people all come frOm?"
Thursday Of reunion week, for some
umaccOuntSbie reason, is considered
the big day of the week, and all come
that day who can't come any other
time of the week. As a matter of fact
there Is nothing more going on on
Thursday than on Monday, but the
people think SO and they pour into
Camp Logan by special trains, and
buggies, and wagons from all direc-
tions.
Thursday, as were the first three
days Of the reunion, was far in excess
of any attendance heretofore. Various
estimates have been placed on the
number OF people that were here.
The News man, at l o'clock, took in as
much of the encampment as he could
get over for tho crowd, and we should
Judge that a fair estimate, so far as a
great mass of people could be enumer.
ated, scattered out over territory OF
perhaps q mile square, that there were
not less than $1,000 people in and
about Camp Logan Thursday.
There were people everywhere and
those who did not get away from the
vicinity of the amphitheatre can have
no conception OF the great mass OF
people that was camped and scattered
from the western limits of the city to
the river and even beyond il, some be.
ing encamped on the other side.
II was decidedly red letter day in
the history of reunions at Baxter
Springs; demonstrating as nothing
else can, that as the years 60 by these
great soldier assemblies are becoming
more popular with the masses, OF
which Baxter is the great favorite.
