COMMANDERIVANDERVOORT. This Distinguished Citizen and Commander-in- Chief of the Loyal Legion Writes a Letter of Acceptance which Burns with Patriotic Fervor and Abounds in Wise Counsel for Populists. Hon. J. H.

Turner, Adjutant General: Dear Sir and Your official notice of my election as Commander in Chief Industrial Legion of the United States received. I deem, it proper to state as you know, I was not present at the meeting at Memphis, aDd did not know such an order was to be organized. lam assured that the Legion does not interfere in any way with any of the Industrial orders which have so grandly done their part in educating the people, but simply fills the long felt want of supplying a compact political body, in which all can unite in one common creed and the only test of membership be loyalty to the platform of the peoples party. If I deemed that we should in any way conflict with any of the great industrial or labor organizations, I would have nothing to do with it. We must meet the combined money power of the nation in a conflict, such as the world has never witnessed and we cannot do it without a perfect organization.

We must in some way weld into one strong potent, political body all who sympathize with our cause and win and educate the masses to a proper sense of the condition of the country and teach them that the only way out is to overwhelm the money kings at the ballot box. The only secrecy surrounding the order is simply enough to prevent the enemy from finding out our plans. I deem it my duty to accept the position so cordially and unanimously tendered and to pledge to the unselfish devoted workers who founded the Legion my unfaltering loyal support to the cause it advocates. I realize the burden thus imposed. The overwhelming correspondence and the calls made for me to come and organize demonstrates the fact.

ean truly say that I have made a continual sacrifice for the good of others and I pray that strength may be given me from the Giver of all Good to bear the burden. I will need the hearty, undivided support of all the true, unselfish members of our party. The rank and file of the peoples party march so far in front and are so inspired by the holy cause they love that they need no leaders. No man is absolutely neeessary in this movement. When our great-hearted, noble brother, Polk, fell in battle for the right and peiished a martyr in our cause the ranks closed up and moved forward with his precious name written on all our hearts.

When one firm regulates the value of all cattle and hogs in the land; when a sugar trust raises the price at their will; when a coal combine adds millions to the cost of that article; when the banks of New York and Boston could break the banks in twenty-five states in a day; when the price of wheat and cotton is made in a foreign market and the value reduced below the cost of production because cash contributed by alien lords demonetized the dollar of our fathers; and organized labor is assailed by the mailed hand of arrogant power; when thousands of the vilest hoyde of paupers reared in the midst of the festering vice and squalid misery in Europe are vomited on our shores to take the place, at starvation wages, of our honest, independent working men and women, and the president, congress, and all the governing power refuse to right these wrongs, it is time to band together in an organization whose onward march will be irresistible. The defeat of the republican party shows that a political revolution is pending. The tremendous vote polled by the peoples party, aggregating over a million, makes a nucleus of men trained in the fight, who will be a band of missionaries carrying the torch of truth and preaching the gospel of deliverance to all the people. I want to warn all that glad host who cast their ballots of hope that they must be cautious in their work. Some trade and traffic with the enemy, fuse and confuse until the radiant sunlight of principle is lost in a struggle for place.

We must stand for truth if we would redeem the people. Our cause is too sacred to be bartered away in a mad struggle for office we should not sell our birthright for a mess of lam opposed to all fusion with either branch of the enemy. We have nothing in common with the controlling leaders of either party. Our conflict for the next four years will be with the party in power. They will not keep their pledges and will be in the balance and found by the thousands who voted the democratic ticket hoping for relief.

The republican party is crushed in the dust. It has accomplished its mission and we must rise on the ruins of the democratic party. Where our people hold the balance of power as in California, Montana and elsewhere they should stand like our grand hero Taubeneck through all the storm, and never surrendering his trust, but cast his last ballot alone and went out of the conflict in the HI. legislature like the mail clad knight of old with honor untarnished. Only thus by clinging to principle can we maintain the honor and glory of our party and insure its final victory.

We should stand for the rights of all Americans with a longing desire to preserve popular government, administered by the hands of the plain people to all our posterity. We should stand for the freedom of our race from the despotism of European money sharks and hoist the banner of emancipation from foreign rule so high that all mankind may read the words. The disgraceful spectacle in the monetary conference lately in session, the speech of an American delegate who announced that we were so to Europe that we would turn our backs upon Mexico, Asia and all the South American and bow before the money monarchs of Europe apd go bound with fetters and our chains clanking in the sight of the worlfi for all our days. The action of delegate Andrews calls for vigorous indignation from all true patriots, and he should have been recalled at once and the conference dissolved. And we should make the announcement to all nations that hence forth and forever the United States will regulate the value of its own money without dictation from any foreign power.

Then restore the silver dollar to a free coinage. Let the government alone issue the money, a full legal tender for all debts. Stand as firm as the Bock of Ages against a return to the old wild-cat state bank issue of money. Increase the circulation to not more than fifty dollars per capita. Impose a graduated income tax.

Establish a postal savings bank system and by bringing about these reforms restore fallen prices, advance reduced wages, employ the thousands of idle hands. Beopen the abandoned and closed-down mines. Develop thousands of new veins of shining silver and radiant gold. Inaugurate great enterprises, develop western deserts. Bemovethe burden of debt crushing down the energy of all our people in every relation of life except the 30,000 who own two-thirds of of the wealth of the nation, and thus bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to a with conflict and trouble.

Our organization must stand true to organized lobor everywhere. Sustain and aid them in their constant for life and fight the battle of the people with energy and zeal. We must throw all our weight into the fight for a fair ballot and an honest count and guard the ballot box from corruption and fraud and see that the verdict is honestly announced and defended. Our party is national. It is organized in every state.

The blue and the gray march to the music of the union under the stars and stripes. They stand shoulder to shoulder in the battle of ballots against the trusts, combines syndicates and corporations that usurp a power belonging to a free people. The dictation of Wall street must give way before the onward march' of the reunited armies. The bugle notes that marshall the hosts to battle call into line from ocean to ocean those who met in deadly conflict a generation ago. In the last days of life they will crush the power that has enslaved them since the war, and win a battle for their children and for all ages that will live in song and story.

The Southern achieved a great result. They have polled half of the votes recorded m.our favor, and all have shown an intelligence, a zeal, courage, and devotion unequaled in our campaign, and in the happy days to come will redeem their sunny land and array themselves solidly in favor of truth and right. The glorious campaign in the silver states is beyond all praise and we welcome them into our ranks with glad hozannahs of love and joy. Organize, organize the legion in every state. We invite into its ranks all peoples party clubs.

All silver leagues, all who believe we should stand in solid lines, come bearing the waving banners that have kissed the breeze in all our grand meetings in the past campaign. Come, brave, true hearts, unselfish souls. Come with an enthusiasm never witnessed since the thronging millions marched to save the holy sepulcher from the polluted hands of the Saracen. Come in to protect labor, to save our homes, to save the flag and nation from vandal hands. Come in for our children to give light and joy to the life of the young, just stepping on the threshold.

Come with malice toward none and with charity for Come without envy or hate toward mankind but with love for humanity, downtrodden ami crushed. Bury ambition, stop factional strife, and march forward like brothers, sisters, and patriots in solid phalanx for four years more and we will win the grandest victory that ever came to the sons of men since the morning stars sang together. Paul Vandervoort. Editor Great West Please find enclosed two subscriptions to the Great West. yon are where yon belong now, in the national field.

May yonr life be spared to defend the good canse until victory is won. E. E. West. Villard, January Bth, GOLDEN BOTTLE" BY HON.

IGNATIUS DONNELLY. It is generally considered by publishers a fair sale of a novel if it reaches one or two thousand copies. It is probable that a majority of books do not get beyond the thousand mark. But this is not the case with the works of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly.

His first book, has gone through twenty-five editions in the United States, and several more in England; his has reached its eleventh edition, the first one being 5,000 copies. His has had a sale of over 10,000 volumes, here and abroad. His has attained the tremendous sale of 150,000 or this side of the Atlantic and probably as many more abroad, besides being translated into the three languages. has also attained a large sale, 12,000 copies having been sold in this country and a large number in England. Golden his latest and most remarkable book, promises to rival in popularity.

As will appear by the appended newspaper notices it is a work that should be read by every one who is interested in the future of his country, for it touches upon all the great Suestions of the relation of the money-supply of the nation to tie prosperity of the people; the issue of the government ownership of the railroads; the demonetization of silver, now under discussion in Brussels; paper money; foreign immigration; the future war between the American Bepublic and the Kingdoms of Europe; and even the possibility of the early coming of the the thousand years of universal peace and happiness foretold in the Bible. With little or no advertising 10,000 copies of this remarkable book have been sold in two months, and the demand is steadily increasing. The questions discussed in Golden are not political; they belong to a higher level of statesmanship, and will force themselves upon the consideration of men of all parties. They concern the future of the Bepublic, and should not be regarded in a partisan light. We append the following extracts taken from hundreds of similar notices: Whatever may be thought of the politics and philosophy of Ignatius we may ridicule his and declare his Socialism Utopian, we must admit the genius of the man.

Let us say to Mr. Donnelly that, although he has never written a play, he is a greater dramatist than his beloved Sir Francis; a greaiydramatist in the ability to mass individuals in pictures, and in the power of contrast of emotion. It is surely a very silly or very selfish person that wiil not be impressed by Golden Mr. new novel. It is a fantasy and a sermon.

We have outlined a phantasm here, wild it certainly is, but it is also beautiful. Logic it may have none; but it has heart. In the age of the individual this book is the gospel of universal York Journal. The story is intensely interesting. It shows the result that would be produced in the World by an abundant -supply of the circulating medium, Money, State Ownership of Bailroads, and government intervention for the lifting up of the masses.

It is given with a graphic power that is intense and realistic. City Journal. The book is an interesting one and tells a partial story of the operation of financial laws from the standpoint of an Alliance Y. Journal of Finance. The case is strongly put and the Author has laid bare, in marvellous manner, the hopes and fears, the aspirations and grovelings of that strange thing, the humdn Michigan) Tribune.

Mr. Donnelly is pointed and clear in his arguments and they cannot be summarized. There is food for thought and suggestion for study on every page of it. Mr. Donnelly has done his part of the task well.

He has put in attractive fiction the arguments for a new system of government and Times. His book is a noble plea for charity and altruism. It is remarkably well told, developed with great skill, and the plot compels the attention of the reader from beginning to end. It is immensely Appeal. Viewed from the standpoint of philanthropy it is a terrible arraignment of the power of money.

It demonstrates, in fearful fashion, how the heartless capitalist is in his own community what the sailor of the Nancy Bell was after he had cannibalized the whole crew of that ship. He really does make a noble effort to prove that here, in the United States, beauty, art, literature, music, painting, statecraft, are as nothing compared with the unlimited ownership of the universal yellow master of mankind. And he does draw pictures the boldness of which one cannot help but Northwestern Chronicle, St. Paul. Jonathan Edwards, the most distinguished of American metaphysicians and Calvinistic theologians, used to say that he judged of his moral condition by the character of his dreams.

They represent the soul as it is, free from the influences which restraingpr impel it in waking moments. This dream of Golden symbolizes the hopes and aspirations day thousands in tho West and Northwest who have felt the cold hand of want. While he has not produced a work of literary art, one hardly varies some of Jais own words in exciaiming: Lord, how does he get at the facts of the human heart, that think so despicable yet divine, so groveling yet so There is no mistaking the skill with which in a few strokes here and there he lays bare the villainous shams of patriotism, of obedience to law and vested interests, of morality and divorced from morality. Donnelly says things in his story which must be heeded, and the sooner the better. He has roughly outlined reforms which must come, if not through Parliament, as was said of Lord John bill, then over Times.

Golden is a masterpiece of imagination, dotted with philosophy, sprinkled with brilliant metaphors, entwined with a vine of romance and yet so firmly welded with a serious meaning that while it delights the reader is fir mly plants in his mind the seed of new thought. Who in America is a greater master of pure, powerful, vivid English; to tell strength or tenderness, to roll in fury or sing in softness, tuned with grave meaning, romance, philosophy and imagination than Ignatius Herald. The charm of this book, however, lies in the love story which runs through it like a silver brook through green meadows. Nowhere has Mr. Donnelly shown more power and originality than in the interview between Benezet and his Spirit Counsellor, though it ends somewhat too abruptly, as the spirit speaks of many extra mundane Texas Daily Post.

Golden by Ignatius Donnelly, is a remarkable story, just brought out by the D. D. Merrill Co. It is a volume which must make a sensation, even more than that excited by It pictures that war of foretold by William Henry Seward; and European statesmen will read, with curious interest, this description of an American invasion of the Old World, which is one of the possible outcomes of the continued growth of this Daily Traveller. Mr.

purpose in writing it, like most of his purposes, is carried out apparently without the most remote thought as to its effect npon himself. No one will gainsay that this erratic character is at heart a good man; that he loves his and that his ultimate purpose in life is to do them some little measure of Paul Dispatch. No one can say that Ignatius latest book Golden is not readable and Advertiser. The issues are presented in a most forcible and straightforward manner. Exceedingly interesting reading, and forms one more link in the direction of advanced View, Washington, D.

C. For us Golden has all the force of and infinitely more charm, as life is sweeter than death, hope than despair, love than evil Vanguard, Chicago. Golden. is likfly to prove more popular than City Times. Really well written, despite Mr.

modesty, and possesses much Ohio Journal. Golden out Bellamys Bellamy and puts his own in the City Star. A very singular and curious book, of a more chfeerful and hopeful nature than that pessimistic picture of universal ruin, Texas News. The book is written in pecular and interesting style and will have a large News, Michigan. It does not lack interest or intensity of plot.
