That "not redeemable iu coin" is in the Omaha platform by unavailable in ference onlv. I hope it will go into the next platform in clear, positive words as Mr. Taubeneck puts it.

Watch this paper ior iurtner anu more complete lniormaumi iBjjmuiuS Caught a Tartar. Quite a number of populist papers are censurins Senator Allen for his state ments on irredeemable paper currency, and thev have cauirht a tartar. Senator Allen anchors himself firmly on the Oma ha platform and can defy them all. The Courier believes that this government can make money out of any kind of ma terial it chooses, but the Omaha platform does not express any such idea. Per sons who go beyond the platform are the ones who deserve cenBure, if any at all. Senator Allen takes no advance cround: neither adds to nor detracts from; is consistent in everything, but he can't please all. No doubt a large ma jority of populists believe that a metallic basis for currency is useless, and that there is no need of a secondary money but this cannot be called populism When the populist party as a party adopts this theory, then it will be popu lism, and not till then.

Ind.J The Populist Big Four. All the credit for the field campaign is due to the populist "Big Four,' Weaver of Iowa, Whitehead of New Jersey, Davis of Texas and Sovereign of Iowa. They led the enthusiastic masses, unfurled the nilver banner in every county and plant ed it on all the mountains from Idaho to the Pacific. Gen. Weaver led the ad vance. "Cvclone" Davis the right, Sover eign the left wing and Whitehead held the center. They spoke day and night, and halls and ODera houses were inade quate to hold their following. Wahoo New Era.

The Nebraska Cyclone Company is 1 ! J now over tour years oia ana nas paiu nearly f 1000 for losses. Have made but three assessments. The first was for $1., 00 per $1000. The second was for 50 cents per f 1000, the third (just sent out) is for 7.50 per fiouo. This assessment is tne largest ever made by any cyclone company and will hardly occur again soon. Some of our members by the ever watchful help of the stock company s road agents will conclude that the cost, is enormous, but let us compare. This will bring from j $ 500 to $800 more than we have liabil ities at this time, hence we think there will be no need of another assessment for the rest of the year. It has cost, membership fee $d.00 for $1000 with interest at 10 per cent, to close of fiveyears $1.50. Assessment No. 1 $1.00, interest do cents. Assessment No. 2. 60 cents, interest lo cents. As sessment No. 3 $7.50, interest to close of five years 50 cents, making a total cost for a $1000 policy the first five years $14.50. In a stocK company at weir lowest, rate premium would be $18.00 interest, same rate $9.00. Total $27, leaving a difference of $12.50 in favor of the mu- tuals for each $1000. The average insurance carried oy tne company lor tne nve years nas oeeu about $500,UUU, nence tne saving 10 its members has been about $6,250.00. To the members who have ust come into the company it will seem nard ana one man has counted on the following basis, that he paid his fees and assess ment No. 3 in less than three months the cost was $10.50. By the help of a stock company road agent he figured that it would cost mm $4.uu ior a year and $210.00 for five years. (If vou depend on these road agents xo befriend you, you will pay them dearly for it.) It seems so strange that farm ers consider themselves competent to do all kinds of buying and generally good judges of the kind of material in the make up oi tnat wnicn mey neeu, uui when they are in need of some insurance, thev wait until an insurance peddler " . ., , al . t. i. a .t comes along witn xue poureau uiu ui lottery tickets which they persist in call ing a policy. He buys it and pays for it at a rate that will almost make your hair stand. Do you know that that kind of business is on a par with the following: A farmer fifteen miles from town is badly iu need of a wagon. An idle loafer in town hears it and hires a fine team and drives out and sells him a wagon (sight unseen) at $100.00. When he gets it he finds it to be a second bandwagon ready for the repair shop for which if he had used good business sense he could have e-ot a new one fully warranted for $65.00. ; These same road agents are telling at rendv that our company is gone up, but if each member will induce some one to join the company this year we will have nearly two million by Jan. 1st and then high assessments Will be out of the ques tion. WTe hope every member will do his utmost inside of the thirty days and again put to shame the fellows who say the farmers will not stick to each other when it costs them anything. The present is the poorest time in tne poorest year in the history oi our state make an assessment:, nence is u- ooves all members to raise the money at once, because our enemies are organ ized to repeal our mutual law, and if oua members lau to meet mis uBBesBuieuu promptly they will have one more string to pull, but on tne otner nanu n we pay the losses promptly we can with pride go before the legislative corammee uu iu surance next winter and defy opposition tn nnr law. It seems like life or death to our plan whether our members pay promptly or not. Everv one should consider that in case he had his house blown to atoms he wnnld need his monev at once, hence to do unto others as you would be done by, it na lienr from everv member at once with the monev if possible and do not ai low any small reason to deter you from paying now. You may consider that you are hard up but suppose your prop- ertv was entirely aestroyeu uy wiuu, von would be a subject for charity if you had no insurance, put tne owner oi uuw nf nnr nolicies has a claim on you that can not be classed as charity but a duty to heir, vonr brother in his time ot need We end each member a marked copy of this naner and hope you will read this department.
