complete information about our National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
and most useful help both for officers
and members. 1t will not take long until
the whole edition will be exhausted.
The books are for free distribution
among the members, and only require
two cent postage stamp for each book
wanted Alliances should send in their
orders for same in one dozen, two, three
and four dozen lots so as to provide books
for each member.
AS the expense of getting up those
books has been assumed by myself and
have cost US over six hundred dollars,
besides all the time l have spent on the
same, l must rely on our friends to send
in their binding twine orders to me and
assist in helping to pay this debt which
am unable to bare alone. l suppose our
members know that we do not receive any
salary, and that we have advanced over
one hundred dollars for expenses and
postage, and that have put in 10 to Is
hours per day working for the Alliance.
We make this appeal to our friends hop
ing that they will give us the privilege
OF filling their binding twine orders as we
sell as cheap if not cheaper than any
house in the country, and our Irvine is the
best that money can buy. Come friends,
send in your orders. See our "ad' in
another column for prices, terms etc.

At st. Paul Mr. J. c. Hanley will re-
ceive subscriptions for The Representa-

A discovery was made recently that
believe was not known before. In look
ing over the new State Fair Premium
list for this year, l discovered that by
virtue OF state law the president and
secretary of the State Farmers Alliance
becomes a member of the State Agricul-
tural Society, which organization has
charge of the State Fair each year. Upon
a closer in vestigation l find that the
farmers of the state are conspicuous by
their absence upon nearly every state
board or public institution in the state.
l have called the attention of Hon. M.
J. Costello (the secretary Of our Legis-
lative Committee, and also the attorney
who drew up all the alliance bills which
was defeated at the session of the last
legislature) to look up the law Great
Ing and governing such boards and pub
lie institutions and to write a series of
articles covering his Investigations which
he has consented to do. Some very in
terest1ng articles on this subject will
shortly appear.
The new book which we are getting up
for the benefit of our members will be
ready for delivery about the first week in
July. The orders for this book is BEGIN
ming to pour In, and those who file their
