There is no more beautiful harbor
scene in America than Arkansas Pass
and Corpus Christi Bay. Hundreds OF
visitors arrive there daily. The Green
Turtle and Tarpon Fishing and the
Canvas Back Duck Hunting, with the
tropical climate make it the sports
mans winter paradise. Thousands or
acres of rich cheap land contiguous are
attracting northern agriculturalists,
and the people of Aransas Pass are ex-
uberant with long looked for prosper
ity. The engineers in charge of the
harbor unqualifiedly predict thirty-five
feet of water, with the completion of the
rapidly progressing harbor work.
On the occasion of the Home Seek
ers' excursion Feb. 11th, the first Green
Turtle Barbecue in the history Of the
world will be given to the excursionists.
Turtles from 400 to 600 pounds weight
are caught there. A number Of valu-
able lots will be given to excursionists.
The program includes three days of
huntsmen's sports and jollification. All
railroads are making n low rate to
this excursion and Aransas Pass in
vites everybody to celebrate with her.
II you want to see the richest, cheap
est, most beautiful lands. of il you wish
to enjoy few days of royal sport fish,
ing and hunting take the excursion on
11th of February. You will see where
will be built one of the great cities of
America.

8. We want Legion Scouts in cities
| where there are so many thousands un-
| employed. The committees of the Peo-
| pies Party should have trained corps
OF them to distribute papers, sell books,
| advertise meetings, secure names to pc
| titions, and all the thousand things SO
necessary to the work of building up
our party in the city. The Legion
should have open headquarters in each
city, should organize in every precinct,
should always have supply of books
on hand. SO that workers who are un-
employed can take them out and try
to sell them and return all unsold. A
city Legion Scout should always have
a full supply of leaflets, the Bankers

FORM and the best papers, and it
should be the duty of a city Legion
Scout to canvass the wards and pre-
cincts to find out the standing of each
party, and make proper return on the
blanks furnished by the committee.
9. 1t will take self-sacrif1ce and zeal
You will bear heavy burdens on the
way. You will be out in the storm,
sleep without shelter, and often be
hungry, but you will be one of the
great army helping to liberate the peo-
pie and striving to avert the horrors OF
a bloody revolution by an appeal to the
ballot box, and if some noble patriot
among you will blaze pathway and
organize Legion in every town from
ocean to ocean before 1896, he will be
enshrined in history as a hero.

but the pith and marrow of the whole
business is this:

but the pith and marrow of the whole
business is this:
A large supply of money means that
money is easier to get in return, for Ia
Dor and labor's produce, than when the
supply of money is small. Lessen the
amount of money and you make it
scarcer and harder to get; increase the
amount OF money, and you make it
more plentiful and easier to get.
Population is rapidly increasing, pro-
duction rapidly increasing. commerce
rapidly increasing.
Money being created merely to facili-
tate business, the increase of business
naturally demands an increase Of
money.
The two old parties working together
in the interests Of concentrated wealth
are shrinking the amount of money year
by year-thus adding to the value Of
the small amount of money which is
left, and adding to the advantages
which those few who have boarded
their gold have over the millions who
have to exchange their labor, land and
produce for cash in order to pay debts
and taxes.
The towns and cities, as rule. are
dead against Populism; yet Populism
says to the merchant, you are entitled
to the use of Government money on the
same terms as the National Banker"
Democracy and Republicanism says
to him, "The National Banker has a
perfect right to Government money at
one per cent on the dollar, and he has a
right to make you pay him eight per
cent"
And the said merchant vigorously
damns the party which says he ought
to have money as cheaply as anybody
else gets it, and clamorously supports
the old parties which tell him that the
National Banker ought to enjoy a seven
cents advantage over him on every dol
lar that goes into his business.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS.
To Legion Scouts in All Parts of tn
Country.

To Legion Scouts in All Parts of the
Country.
1. A Legion Scout is simply a re-
cruiting officer of the Industrial Le-
gion, detailed on special duty, with
rowing commission which will permit
the holder to organize wherever there
is no one engaged in active work. If
they reach locality where there is no
Legion they will at once plant one. If
they find one stir it up and fire them
with new devotion for the cause.
2. A Legion Scout ought to be able
to hold a meeting at a moments notice
on street corner, in a harvest field,
around a threshing machine, wherever
you can gain the attention of even a
handful of people.
3. They should be provided with
books to sell, should distribute and take
subscriptions for newspapers, sell Le-
gion buttons, and the beautiful certifi-
cate of membership in the Legion and
Peoples Party.
4. If Legion Scout has no money
to procure an outfit, he should at once
demonstrate his fitness for the work by
going out and collecting in small sums
from patriotic people who cannot travel
in this cause enough money to purchase
one which will cost about $5. A work.
er who has not got the snap to do this
would fail as Legion Scout.
5. A Legion Scout should try to sell
books at first, should go quietly about,
avoiding noisy discussion, and endeav-
or to get the people to take some book.
Use those that the people most desire
For instance, Coins Financial school is
now in demand, and you should go into
the ranks of the old parties first and
make the effort, and whenever you sell
a book you should get the buyer to
recommend it to his neighbors and urge
them to get one. 1t would be we'll to
avoid too much partisanship at first.
Just show the people that you only
want them to inform themselves as to
the causes of the condition of the peo-
pie, and quietly remind them that you
left one or the other of the old parties
because they utterly failed to furnish a
remedy and always betrayed the people
when they promised one Use all the
effort you can to get them to take some
true Peoples Party paper. Get just as
many sample copies as you can of the
best papers to distribute on the way
Try and get one man to take one paper
and his neighbor another, so that there
may be variety of our papers from all
sections in each locality. Also get hold
of all the names of old party voters on
the way and send to our papers, who
will gladly send sample copies to them
6. Urge every Legion to start IL
brary. Each member can bring one
book or more, then raise a fund and
add to,it, and keep regular crusadins
committee in the field to induce the
people to read them and promptly re
turn them.

Hay and Gold.

According to the Indianapolis Jour-
nal the hay crop of Indiana in 1893 was
worth SIG, ,240. According to the
director of the mint the gold crop of the
entire United States is only $39 900 600,
much less than the hay crop in two
average states. Why can't we have a
hay basis instead of a gold basis? Ac-
cording to Professor Mclaughlin and
other gold-bugs we need not have the
actual gold in circulation, only few
pieces to determine the value" AS
our hay product is much more valuable
than our gold product, why not store up
dollars worth of hay in the treasury
department at Washington and call that
a basis?-Bob Schilling.

MY LIFE ONE GRAND SWEET
SONG.
By James w. Rowdoin.

By James w. Bowdoin.
am an honest democrat, all of the up
per crust.
1 claim that public office was, and is, a
public trust.
The sugar trusts and wheat trusts are,
/ claim, in the same line.
The whisky trusts and money trusts
are simply all combines;
And thinking thus, am convinced,
there's no such thing as wrong,
I believe in gold, and getting it makes
life zone grand sweet song"
There's nothing like the yellow gold to
drive dull care away;
So do my best to scoop it in, for have
not long to stay.
Silver may suit those that voted me in,
with me it has no place;
l believe in Grover, and him alone, and
not in the human race.
When I retire from public life = the
time will not be long
1 will have the Doodle and easily make
my life lone grand sweet song"
l sometimes think of the platform on
which / was elected;
If ever a thing was more ignored hope
to be dissected.
l have always been monarch of all
surveyed, have shouted for reform;
My pile has increased while the people
l fieeced by issuing millions of
bonds.
Now there's David and me. We could
never agree. He thinks / did him
great wrong
Because 1 have kept all the Doodle my
self to make life "one grand sweet
song
Now, there's Arnold, the traitor-you
know who mean-sold his country
to get British gold;
When he got it, what good did It do
him?-for he then had to skip from
the fold;
OF this life ever after no peace did he
see, If we believe what in hist'ry
we're told;
But there's more ways than one Of kill
ing cat, and more ways than one
to get gold.
Now, there's money in sugar, and also
in bonds; Of course there shall be
no wrong.
Then collect in the Doodle and take in
gold, and make life zone grand
sweet song"
Ny friend, Johnny Baron, is a great
fnancier: if you're honest he says
you're freak;
Play the people for suckers as long as
you can; have policy for each
day of the week;
| Be sure to take with you sanctified
look; of their wrongs cry aloud,
make great fuss;
Trot out that old axiom of yours once
more, Public Office is a sacred
trust
below par and no one shall see the
wrong.
Then we'll count up the spoils and por-
tion them out, making life "one
| grand sweet song"
Give the national banks all the power
you can; destroy, burn up all legal
/ tender;
| Make money as scarce as you possibly
can, and in this, don't you see, help
the lender.
1t may cause distress, but that's moth
ing to us-and also send many tc
graves
But we'll fasten our hold on the whole
human race and make them oul
subjects and slaves;
You will then have no need of Old
Glory aloft, for that emblem o.
freedom is wrong;
Gold will carry the day, we will thel
| have full sway, and continue tina
grand, sweet song.
