for the Commonweal of Christ to do on Deco
ration Day than to march TO the Peace Monu-
ment and decorate 1t, and having elected SO 70
do, go there In spirit that you not only desire
peace between those who wore the blue ana
those who wore the gray, but the perpetual
peace OF all nations, creeds and sects The FOL
lowing Is the order for the same, and let every
one OF you go on that mission, resolved TO Keep
the peace whatever happens. II any policemen
should lose their heads at the sight OF our ban
ner OF peace as they did on the 1st of May, do
not lose yours, and If they strike any blows, re-
turn them not Do as did on that day, Turn
the other cheek"

cotton slavery-the slavery TO interest on bonds.
