of bulldog pei fOrmarccS with the

high minded aud grn,rous act of as

presented 10 me though the instrument
tality of MIR. Bolton Hal. of Ill
Broadway, n. Y.--the millionaire
Single TaXer and live man generally.
He seems to be one of the promoters
of ''The American Live Question Bu
reau," of Odd Fellows Building, St.
Louis, Mo. He is ut least published
AS one of the Advisory Committee"
aud also us one of the "wcllknoWn
thinkers and writer's that may be eX
pected to contribute articles to the
Bureau. The Bureau expects to
furnish stereotype plates to all of the
9 coo papers of the country that use
plate matter and that may negotiate
for those of the Bureau. This, Of
course, is certain means of laying
before the masses the live thought OF
the best minds and of educating the
masses into Il knowledge of the merits
or dem"rlts Of all proposed reforms.
Mr.. Halls apprecialive and appre-
ciated act consisted in suggesting To
the Bureau that its Secretary, Mr.. S.
h. Mosher. invite me to prepare an
article on Farm Reform"

Takers, and the names and addresses
of for'y-three other writers are also
given (among them my "wnD who are
prominently iden'li, d with every
phase of Socia ccnnnmIr and political
reform. The circular states that "all
articles will he prepared in an enquir-
ing and scientific spirit, and will be
free from artisan bias This implies
that there viii he no discussion hul

AS | understand ii. the object of the
Bureau is Il grand one. and il reverts
one t" my first intentions regarding

Hence, Farm Reform calls aloud for d

not education, but devastation. Yet

From the same voices that are shout

The minister in the christian pulpi

politician shouts it, but the press il
