recently published that the subordin-
ates of the city police were forming an
organization to have for its object the
raising of a fund of S5O,oOo to infiu-

the force. Patrolmen were to con-
tribute to the fund $50 each, rounds
men $25 and sergeants $50,
Little credence was placed in the
report by the public, but Commission

This will not detract from her graceful

MAY AROUSE FANATlCIsM.

Missionaries In Mexico Attack the Belief
In the GuadaIOupe Miracles.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. There is
some fear lest the recent circular of
Protestant missionaries attacking the
popular belief in the Virgin of
Guadalupe may arouse the inherent
fanaticism of the Indians, who will
flock into the city in great numbers in
October during the coronation festivi-
ties, the mum Der estimated being from
rs, 900 to 100, 900. Some Americans re-
gret the action taken by the mission
aries, who, however, defend their posi-
ton as being already fully supported
by eminent Catholic prelates of former
centuries who protested against the
alteration of the Virgin of Guadaloupe,
denouneing it as a gross imposture.

SOME OF THE RESULTS.

Two large companies, the Standard
Wagon Company and the Davis Car
riage Factory, failed a week or two ago.
There is nothing particularly startling
IL this, for business failures occur every
day, but there is something significant
in the cause assigned by the Standard
Company for their failure, say S the
Peoples Advocate. They had been in
business for years, had a large plant
and an immense capital and gave EN-
ployment to hundreds of hands. The
company assigns the reason for their
failure that the bankers money had
increased IN purchasing power while
real estate, manufactures and materi-
ais had deprecated more than fifty per
cent. They had an abundance of assets
IN the shape of property, but they could
not realize the cash on the Assets and
property signifies nothing unless it can
Oe reallzed on. Here is a magnif cent
property that will pass into the hands
OF the money grabbers, as a result ~
the financial policy of the government
which has caused an immense shrink
age of values of all kinds all over the
country.
We only refer to this as one instance
There are thousands like it all over the
country produced by the same cause

18Th to 18th, 1895, laid out a plan of
organization for shoe factory, etc.
The plan will be published in next issue
of PROGRESSIVE FARMER. Read it.
We have on hand for factory 81, 700
cash, and we have pledges from dele
gates to State Alliance for their coun-
ties, amounting in all to about 81, 500.
We expect this much and more to be
raised in the next sixty days / advise
that Sub Alliances hold call meetings
on Saturday the 7Gh day Of September
to consider this matter, and that County
Alliances as, mol on Thursday follow
ing, the 12UTOf September, for the same
purpose. I advise that cash subscrip-
tions be taken and those who cannot
pay the cash on that day give pledges
to their Alliances for what they wish to
subscribe, to be paid not later than
November 1st, 1895. Let county and
sub officers make a call at once for these
meetings. No time for delay. The
factory should be in operation by Octo-
Der 1st. What say you, my brethrenG
Do not delay, Or you will be too late
ito be in the swim" Every Alliance
man and woman should do something
towards starting this work. The ALI
ance shoe factory ard tannery will be
put to work and will be turning out
shoes and leather before some of you
get ready to help if you do not hurry.
The State Executive Committee meets
on August 3Otb, and will consider mat
tiers pertaining to the factory and head
quarters for the Alliance Let me hear
from you as soon as action has been
taken by your Alliance.

fortunes by the demonstration OF one
half Of the honest money of the cOun-
try. History is going to repeat itself
It is said that as a result of the demone-
tization of silver by England in 1916
more than one. half of the real estate in
the kingdom changed hands, and many
who had been possessed of comfortable
homes found themselves thrown out.
A. a result there is no country of it's
size upon earth where there are SO many
colossal fortunes, and where the gap liz
preater between the rich and the poor,
Nor is there any country where there

not possess it. That is what we are

NOT DYING OUT.

Some Eastern paper quoted Senator
PETER as saying that the silver senti-
ment is dying out in the West and
South. To a reporter of a Topeka
journal he makes the following denial:
Il have been misquoted in the New
York papers about the subsistence OF
the silver sentiment. What l did say
was that the silver sentiment is spread
ing constantly wider ard wider among
the people, and that the p~yrotechnlc
part of the business, the calling OF
meetings, passing of resolutions n
hurrahing had been passed, and that
now the subject is being discussed In

COSTLY CREDIT.
w. S. BARNES,
Sec'y- Treas. N. @. F s. A.

Commenting on Senator Vests recent
assertion that it is an outrage that we
should be obliged to pay a bonus Of
eleven millions to a foreign syndicate,
in order to prevent gold shipments, the
Richmond Times says: Talk of bonus
of eleven millions of dollars for this?
The country could have afforded to give
a bonus of five hundred millions of
dollars" Just think of it. Here is the
leading Cleveland administration gold
basis organ of the South proposing to
give a foreign bond syndicate five hun
dred million dollars in one lump Ito
preserve public credit" three months
At this rate we will soon have to turn
over the entire wealth of the nation to
this credit preserving gang. Public
credit comes high under the Cleveland

HOW THE GOLD MEN CAN WIN
AND HOW THEY CAN BE
DEFEATED.

Any man who has watched the cur
rent of events for the past few years
knows that the next national conven-
tions of the two old parties will not de
clare for the free coinage of silver.
Each one of them may write straddlipg
platform and nominate a half way sill
yer man for Vice President, but every
body will know what that means. The
machinery of both old parties is not
only dead against silver and more
money, but is in league with and o
troled by the gold men. Therefore
every man who stays in either of these
old parties will simply be helping and
strengthening the gold men. Then
how can any man who is not in favor
of a single standard stay in either of
these gold parties2 Do you want the
gold men to wins No. Therefore you
will not vote the gold ticket. Will you
sit down and do nothing while the enc
mics Of prosperity commit their crime?
No. Therefore you will fight the gold
men with all your power. Yes, you
will fight them and vote against them.
You will work and vote for a platform
and a candidate for President who is
square on the financial question.
There is but one way that the gold
men can win. That is for the patriots
in the Republican party who are op-
posed to the gold men to stay in that
party, and for the patriots in the Dem
ocratic party who are opposed to the
gold men to stay in that party. Then
the gold men would put up two gold
bugs for President and the patriots
would help elect n of them with their
votes. If the Peoples party should
divide and each Populist should go back
to his old party, the result would be
the anne
There is but one way that the gold
men can be beaten. That is for the
patriots of the two old parties to come
together. Then all the patriots would
be in one party while the gold men
would be divided into two gold parties
with two gold Candidates.
Patriots, the path of duty and the
road to victory is plain. The battle
must be fought-the hour has struck
the opportunity is herewith you seize

worse than tho S of the members OF his

: The first society for CO operative dis
tribution in England originated at
Rockdale in 1914, and started with a
capital of $40, raised by assessments
upon it's members of 2 to 8 pence a
week, says the New York Tribune.
One of them went to Manchester and
bought at wholesale a stock of four,
sugar, butter, and oatmeal, from which
each member bought as he required at
current prices, and the profit resulting
was distributed annually among the
buyers according to the amount Of his
purchases. The first year they
amounte d to $3.50, the second $500, and
the third $40O, showing successful ope-
ration from the beginning. On the
fttieth year of it's institution it signal
lied the event by a gift of S., 900 to the
Rockdale infirmary. The example it
set was followed elsewhere, and there
are now 1 200 CO operative societies in
England, with 1,3OO,O 900 members, an
aggregate capital of $50, 600, 900, an an
nual business of $3.50, 600, 900 and an
nual profits of $23, SOC, 900. In 1862 the
united SOCIETIES formed a central one
and established a wholesale store in
Manchester and another in Glasgow,
the business of which now exceeds $780,
coo. 900 annually 1t has boot and shoe
factories at Leicester, soap works at
Durham, woollen cloth works at Bailey
and owns seven ocean steamers, which
bring home it's purchases from abroad.
Membership is established by the sub
scription of from 19 to Pc to the CAPT
tai stock. Dividends are distributed
every year, but they may remain on
deposit to the amount'of 81. 900, and
draw five per cent. interest. The
movement originated among the work
ing classes, and has been built up and
wholly controlled by them. 1t is a
striking example of success, not with
out it's lessons for working people in
other countries, including our own.
