Open the eyes Of the people to the real causes

down the fences Of political error with which
these oonsr-ssnen have corTaled and penned

to this broader and higher thought II you
are right IN 1y measure In the claim that
you represent the people. you can accom-
pltsh this work You can definitely organize
these men and women for intelligent political
action If you cannot do this, you do not in
any sense represent their wishes, and your
measures ought not tc carry.
II you can do this, your book viii tell, and
and tell speedily and eiIectually at this end of
the line
When the political forces Of these Congress
men are broken down and their constituents
begin to move to others pastures, they will
tumble over each other in their eager desire
to find out what Is wanted, and to take such
action as VIII stop the stampede. uyou want
TO move Congressman, move their constit-

get into line with the new requirement in a

men here in Washington will ever effect
But even IL you fail to move the present
congress, you will have gained your point.

move out. then, with your forces among the
people. They share with you in the common
unrest and distress, but they will feed you
and hear you. While there is great scarcity
OF money in the rural districts, there is a
great abundance Of provisions. 1t would be
possible under proper leaders. animated by
true spirit OF patriotism, to organize vast
numbers OF the worthy unemployed and march
them through the country on this mission OF
education. with benefit to them and advan-
tage to the nation. II anybody needs the
obiect-lesson. afforded by these armies it is
the voters Of the country. II any permanent
impression is to be made upon our legislation
it must come through them.
Besides, the more capable and willing work
ers would thus have opportunity to find en-
ployment. The men so far connected with
these marching bodies have established a
itputation for honesty and general good
behavior that would stand them in good stead
on s1eh Il mission. In this direction, then, lies
vi aJrvrr OF success this organization of the
unemployed is capabla of bringing to the
cause OF true reform. BY this course this idle
army may be fed and he ship of state and
