there ia not q dollar among the whole
outfit. Now, can't these men do Bs
much work, say for q few days, without
psy as with it, ndWould not the wealth
they would create be enough to pay?
Well, then, let the man with the lot sell
it to the organization and take his pay
in checks. Lst the man with brick do
the same. Now, the men can 70 to
work and build themselves q house on
their lot. They are that much better
of than il they had stood sucking their
thumbs, wSiting for money.
The same principles are in use every
day by capital For illustration, when
one deposits money in a bank, he takes
home q pOCketful Of checks, and checks
against that account so long as it lasts.
Now, in our mutual bank-labor organi-
zBtion-you viii get an account to your
credit, by depOsiting labor or commodi-
ties. Then you take home certified
checks enough to cover your account
These banks that receive only money on
deposit are well enough for monied men,
but OF what use are they to men who
have only labor or commodities to de-
posit?
Suppose the First National bank in
Topeka would announce that 1t would
recsive labor on deposit, would not its
doors be thronged with eager depositors?
II il had q lot and some brick, etc., It
could do this 30 that man who put 800
of labor on q house for them would have
exactly the same account on the books
Of the bank as the man Of money who
deposits SlOO in gold.
And more, il the man who does this
work 90 the house is g member OF the
bank, then, besides getting his 800 for
that much work, he owns his share OF
the house besides. Under the present sys-
tenn, labor puts up $3 600 house and gets
$4,000 for their part. Under this system,
they get the whole $4,000 house. When
will labor ever learn the lesson? The
government had to be hard pressed dur
ing the war to learn it. How much finer
between the upper and neither millstones
must labor be ground?

Political Economy and Parliamentary Laws.
TO The County and Sub-AIItGnces of the State
of Kansas:
DEAR BRoTHERs:-At the last State
Alliance, efforts were made to institute
agencies and instrumsntslities for the
purpose Of reviviDg the Alliance and
Keeping it in running order for the fu-
ture good Of all the people Of the nation.
It was believed that there was never any
greater need for the councils Of the
order than at the present time. Not ss
q political party, but as an intelligent
sdvisor and dictator Of ell parties.
To this end an educational committee
was elected to furnish the order means
OF intelligence that would fit them for
their high and holy calling. The under
signed was chosen as one Of that COM
mittee. By q division Of work the sub
ject Of political economy was assigned
TO me. This was probably because it
Wss known that l was the secretary Of
an order shat had for one OF its pur-
poses the rewriting Of economics. Our
design is to strip the subject Of all itH
monarchical and plutocratio grave
clothes, and clothe 1t in the hRbili-
msnts Of American freemen. Thus
clothed, it becomes the science under
lying all our civil and political prosper
lty. This work We gladly offer to the
Alliance upon the best terms our pow
erty will admit, since there is no work
that we could recommend upon this sub.
ieCt that meets our wants, or that will
come at price suited to our poverty.
We have decided to publish them In
lsuson leaflets, like the lesson leaves oi
the Sunday schools. This will enable al
our people to secure q copy OF this
work. These lessons will vary in length
hut will all sell OF the same price, viz,
/ cont each lesson, or rs cents per 100
leaves. They may be ordered BY single
leaves or by the year, 30 many every
meeting Of the order. This 10 the best
way, as each member will know that
they have something to expect when
they come 70 meeting. By holding open
meetingu, you can invite your members
TO take part in your studies and rscita'
tions. Be careful you don't put some
aWsll.head to teach who knows more
than other men, but put those most In
tplIigent and most likely to instruct
others. Don't disdsin TO commence
ak the very elements Of science,
and build up each lesson. To those
Who are we'll read, some of the prim-
sry lessons might be left out. In

only beginning in this school, and for

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 19.-The Dem.
ocratlc state central committee will
meet here tomorrow to fix the time

date particularly has been the subject
OF spirited contention between Allen

date will be earlier than the middle OF
July. Though the Republicans have
placed their ticket in the field, they
will do no campaign work before fall.
Allen w. Thurman seems to stand
quite alone in holding that in order

must be had. 1t is now certain that
there will be no free silver plank in
the state platform. Allen w. Thur.
man, however, may not be in the state
convention. The feeling against him
here is the result of his attack on
Chairman Smalley and Mr.. Brice and is
very strong. While a number of rural
counties that have already selected
delegates to the state convention have
adopted free silver resolutions it is
known that many of the delegates
CHOSEN will not vote for free silver in
the convention. 1t has been generally
conceded that Hamilton county would

white in the gloom climbing the

to the deck, but before he could act
upon it the white object crawled
through the lubber hole, and Jake
then saw that it was a polar bear.
Jake realized that he was in a most
dangerous position and began to think
OF means of escape. He called to the
watch on deck below, but thew
couldn't hear. He tried to get out
under the canvas, but the beast
grabbed him and pulled him back.
1t began humping him and every
time Jake attempted to move away
it would growl. Suddenly his eyes
lighted on a rope hanging to the
deck just back of the cradle. By this
means he thought he could reach the
deck. 10 swing himself free was
but the work of an instant. but the
bear made a jump and caught hold

most difficult, and twice Jake's hands

When he reached the deck he
looked up and saw the rope swing

seen Jake do, but had no ooner
