The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-10-18

The Industrial Age Of Chicago. the
leading Reform paper OF the Northwest,
says:
The Age trusts the Grange Advance, OF Red
Wing (Ninn.) Is not maneuvering to keep the
specie contractionists and monopolists in POW
er in Minnesota, and yet when we carefully
read its account Of, and comments ON, the
Owatonna convention, in its issue of the 29th,
one cannot divest himse of some suspicious
in that direction. The anti-monopoly party
of Minnesota is not strong enough to afford
quarrel, and if those who profess to belong to
it are sincerely so, there viii be none. On the
money question the Adrancc talks good sense.
What can it gain, on this vital issue, by
strengthening the hands OF the specie contrac-
tionists both in Washington and Wall street!
We have faith to believe Mr.. Young
will do what is right. Surely there is
no path to reform except through united
action of all the people outside Of the
party which his misgoverned the coun'
try. Division is defeat, and defeat Is the
continued ascendency OF the Rings and
Rascals who now Cypress the people.
Nothing can be palmer than that.

Highway Robbery.

On Monday evening between and 10 O'Clock
George Warner. young man employed in the
harness shop of Fl. D. Wickham was passing
MP Center street on his way home. and while
near the lumber yard Of Hersey, Bean & Doe,
an unknown person attacked him with knife,
but percelving the movement OF the would be
murderer evaded the thrust made at his breast,
amp received the hlow on his left arm, ripping
open his coat and shirt sleeve from the Shout
der to the elbow, the point Of the knife leaving
its mark the whole way, but not penetrating
through the skin. Mr.. Warner grappled with
the unknown assassin and succeeded in throw
ing him, and would have had no trouble in Sc
curing him then and there, bnt no sooner had
this turn Of affairs taken place, than two ac-
complies Of the villain who made the attack,
appeared on the scene, and Mr.. Warner was
overpowered, and his pocket DO k containing
$50 taken from his person, when the three i'm
medirtely took to their heels with their plum
der. George made manly effort to defend
himself, but being without arms was unable to
cope with his adyersaries, but had he been In
possession Of his shooting iron at the time
there would no doubt have been a funeral the
next day The police have been on the look
out for the perpetrators, but have been unable
THIS far to ferret them out. There has been a
humber of dangerous looking tramps around
our streets for some time, who look as thou III
they might commit almost any crime for
money.

We are informed that an effort is being made
by interested parties to fasten some OF the obi
nm which attaches to the Van Auken Il LANCE
wheat ring, upon c. R. Minis, their cashier
Glencoe Register.
How adroitly Liberty tries to shift the
"odium" from the Minneapolis Wheat
Ring onto the shoulders Of Van Auken
and LANCE! Would Van Auken and
LANCE have any monopoly there unless
the Wheat Ring had established it?
Why hold the agent responsible for the
act of the principal? Why? Simply
because Liberty publishes Republican
paper, and Pillsbury is member OF the
Ring, and is running for. governor !;
while it wont hurt the Republican par
ty to set the farmers swearing at Van
Auken and Lange. They are not rum
ming for anything.

No; we don't expect the next Legis-

A negro was asked what he was in Jail for,
and he said it was for borrowing money.
"But," said the qnestioner, ''they don't put
people in jail for borrowing money" eyes, !"
said the darkey, "but had to knock the man
down free or TO- times before he would lend it
to me-"
Before the Millcr's Ring get through
their plundering they will have to re-
sort to the same game. They have
driven out the competitors who were
bidding up the farmers wheat: they
have combined with the railroads to
keep them out; and they are cheating
the farmers on the grade of their wheat:
Why not initiate their colored friend and
"knock en- down free or TO- times" It
wouldn't be monopoly, tor anybody
else would have the same right to knock
them down. What says Liberty Hall?

The Minneapolis Tribune said the

The Minneapolis Tribune said the
othor day:
The Milers Association had an agent in
Glencoe for a short time previous to the pres
ent arrangement, but during the most OF that
time the sharp competition between the trans
portation companies, who entered the market
as wheat BUYERS, run the price Of rheat SO
hish that miIlcrs could not purchase irithoat a
loss, us flour was dull and low, consequently
most OF them were forced to shut down for
want Of wheat.
J-pou which we made this comment:
The competitor was running the price OF
wheat too high, farmers We're getting too much
for it; and so the Ring was formed TO drive all
competitors ont of the market And they say
this isn't monopoly.' And that MI. Pills
bury lsa patriot tor being q party TO this
scheme to break down the wheat market.
Whereupon the Tribune replies
The plan the ring adopted 10 drive the COM
petitors out Of the market was All original one
it could only have occurred TO monopoiists,
bloated boudholders and couron-cutters who
want to grind the farmers into the dust. They
ren. into the market md paid more for ,sheat
thaa the others eoald afford to do, and hence
the SPECTATORS were obliged 10 retire from the
field,
That is to say. The competition ran
the priceup SO high that they could not
buy without loss; and to save them
selves from that loss they PAID a still
higher price - And Tor fear somebody
else might pay 4 lower price and the
| farmers all rush to him with their wheat,
they formed combination with the
railroad company to shut out all compe-
tition'. Such undiluted bosh would
turn the stomach of an ostrich.
