And that our work may be made effective to the utmost will you not help us in our efforts to reach and educate the people? We have no means at command to send a canvasser to your neighborhood, and if we had, no stranger could do as successful work as one who knows the people. We must depend on voluntary help to advertise and intro duce our paper, and we appeal to you for the cause' sake, to help us reach as many as possible in the circle of your acquaintance. It need not be an expense to you. It need not take much of your time. And by telling the truth about the Populist state paper and handing copies 10 your friends you can easily induce them to sub scribe. Is not this your part, your propaganda work? That we may know our helpers and communicate with them we ask that you ign and return the appended pledge, to do simply what you can for The Alliaince-In dependent in the way of getting: subscribers. ALLIANCE PUBLISHING CO. Lincoln, Nebraska. Knowing that in the great impending conflict with the money power we must have votes to win; and that to gain votes we must get the people to read the truth; and that this cannot be done un less those now aroused bring one or more of our papers to the hands and attention of their neightors; I, therefore, freely and gladly promise to do my share, and will exert myseif to secure at least five new subscribers for The Alliance-Independent within the next ten days, sending in subscriptions as I am able to get them at club rates.

It is a matter of surprise how ex tremely in nt the average Repulll--can and Democrat really is upon ques tions pertaining to finance; there are but very few among them that have any opinion of their ou Upon the subject, and those of them who make some pre tensions have no clear comprehensive thought upon the suj t.
