DATES.
NAMES.

You insert from ten to twenty-five
names in the left-hand column of your
paper, leaving the date column blank,
to be written in as each one hands the
book to the next one. You then hand
the book to the first one on the list and
you have no further trouble with. You
need not be known in the matter, be-
yond the person to whom you hand it,
as your name does not appear on the
book unless you think it is distinctly
best that it should do so. Of course
you do not expect to see the book
again. You have simply dedicated it
to the cause. However, if you wish it
back, just place your name last on the
list. Arrange your list either in such
an order as to command the best effect
of influential names, or in the order
that will make it most convenient for
passing from one to another.
Now as to the manner of making up
the lists. Every one wishes to exert
favorable influence over the follow
ing classes, and to have his opinions, as
far as possible, respected and shared
by them, viz: His neighbors, his fam
lily relatives, his church brethren, his
business and professional associates,
his competitors; the members of his
particular social circle and the mem
bers of his social and benevolent or
ganizations. That makes seven dis
tinct classes, from either one of which,
OF from selections from all, he may
make a complete list. Of some espe-
cially valuable book he may wish to
purchase seven copies and start each
one travelling on one of the above lists.
These are points of detail which each
one may work out best for himself, &C.
cording to his own circumstances.
There are some classes of persons
whom we may well select for special
work, even to writing them letter or
speaking to them in personal inter
view, for the reason that they exert an
influence over the thoughts of many
The advocate., 1894-08-22

others in the uplifting of the race. Do
not think that we have all time for our
reform to come and that we will
patiently wait until it grows. Progress
is only accomplished by force applied,
and in direct proportion to it. We
want the world to become more desir-
able to live in, even while we are yet
living.
Now, the particular practical point
which wish to make is this: When
we have read an especially valuable
book, pamphlet or paper, in our line of
reform, there is no benefit to us in
keeping it any longer. 1t might as
well be put to doing good missionary
work. To loan it to friend, for him
to return it some time, and then per-
haps loan it to somebody else, is a
tedious and unsatisfactory way; and,
besides, it requires your continual at
tention in following the book up and
keeping track of it. 1t is better to do
the work in a systematic manner, and
with absolutely no attention on your
part, cause the book to pass from hand
to hand until it is literally worn out.
Use a fy-leaf, or insert a sheet or
paper into the book instead, at the top
of which you write as follows:
To each one to aObOn this book comes i!
Kindly read it as promptly as possible.
When you and all members of your
household who wish to do so have read
it, kindly hand or send it without de-
lay to the next one to you on the list
below, placing opposite your name the
date of your thus passing it on. And
anyone who has read it or who may not
wish to read it will kindly pass it to
the next one at once, inserting the
date:

"In the first place it takes work to
mine the silver and get it ready to
coin; that would would be benefit to
the men that did the work.
"There would be a few hundred
thousand men employed at that"
"It would take a good many pro
tected manufacturing establishments
to employ that many. Then it would
take those men employed at producing
silver out of competition with men
working at other kinds of work, and
it would be benefit to others in that
way"
Anything else?"

body in all the states around the min
ing regions would be benefited. But
the greatest benefit of all is that it
would put more money in circulation
and make it easier for people to pay
their debts. You ought not to object
to it, because then maybe you could
collect some of your bad bills and be
able to pay your debts"
"Come, Sophia, don't bother me any

The Gattling Gun In Reform Literature
Multiplying the Force Of BOOks-GlVing

BY j. j. TAYLOR, NJ. D.
We reformers are not practically ad-
Vancing the cause of reform by greed
lily deVOuring every book, pamphlet or
paper that comes out on reform sub
ject, and letting it stop right there. BY
so doing we are only getting further
and further in advance of the people
whom we would like to lead in our
direction if possible. We get so far
ahead of them that they finally lose
sight of us entirely. Even the leader
of a flock Of wild geese or of herd Of
buffalo on the plains exercises more
wisdom than that. 1t is generally to
our personal advantage and to the in
terest of our cause that we give to all
with whom we come into association
abundant opportunities to learn the
same facts that we have learned and
thus to form the same opinions that we
hold. Thus, we are most likely to es-
cape the imputation of being irrational
cranks, and we are also enabled to
gain friends and co.workers in the
cause, some of whom, becoming once
thoroughly convinced, may make much
more efficient workers than we are.
How comforting it must be to a real
lover of humanity to know that
through his own quiet agency dozen
enthusiastic ones are now busy at
work, doing this work more than a
dozen times over, in ways that he
might never be able to command. He
might then feel like resting, but he
won't. The true apostle Of the pres
ent and future finds his rest, his recre-
ton, in doing all he can to interest

had a chance to explain. True it
would raise the price of silver If all
those nations that have d9monetized it
would commence using it again as
money the same as gold. But if you are
going into politics you must learn to

you think they ought to be. Those

"No, certainly not. That is what
free and unlimited coinage means"
"What do you mean by dumping
their silver on us2 Would they give it
to us or sell it to us, or how would they
do it?"
"No, they would have it coined into
dollars"
"And then take it home with them
to their own countries, you meanF
"No, they wouldn't do that, If they
did their dollar would only be worth
so cents when they got home where the
silver in it was only worth that much. "
"What would they do with it, then,
if they didn't take it home"
"They would have to buy something
with it in this country and take that
home with them"

"Very well, here is a new demsn'

"Why, that wouldn't be much. Just

terrible thing you can bring against
free coinageP Every one admits that
we need more money in circulation;
even you say that. Now your princi-
pal objections to free coinage are that
silver is dishonest money and that there
would be too much of it. You must
admit that there is nothing in either
one of those objections"
"Well, never figured on it before.
But then, you see there is this about it.
To increase the volume of money now
would not be treating the creditor class
fairly"
"Who are the creditor class?"
"They are the people of the East who
loaned money all through the West. 1t
wouldn't be right to pay them back in
cheap money"
"What do you mean by cheap money!
don't understand that"
"Any kind of money, even gold, is
cheap when it is plenty. 1t wont buy
as much then as it will when it is scarce.
So if we increase the amount Of money
in the country the dollars that we pay
back to those men won't buy as much
as the dollars they loaned to us"
"That don't look right. 1t wouldn't
be fair to treat creditors that way. But

did before silver was demonetizedP"
at buys about twice as much"
