will continue contraction, intensity the
panic. bring on general bankruptcy
among business men, and cause the re-
pudiation of the national debt.
Peter Cooper will use the resources of
the Government for the good Of all ;
Hayes and Tilden will use them for the
benefit of monopelists.
Peter Cooper will inaugurate a policy
that will furnish work at good wages for
all the laboring classes; Hayes and Til>

have produced so many idle and starving
tramps.
With Peter Cooper in the White
House, honesty, morally, prosperity,

finance. The currency of a country is
the lifeblood of its industry-the great
bearer and equalizer of nutrition to the
various members OF the body poktic. 1t
lis easy to determine its action to some
one part of the body, thereby depriving
either parts of their Just proportion of
sustenance. That is just what the finan-
.cial legislation OF the country is doing.
Our experience with Democratic house
has taught us that the Democrats are
just as unreliable as the Republicans on
this great question.
But men need this lesson impressed
on them. Party education is strong,
and men do not readily escape from its
influence. They will vote for party long
after they have lost confidence in their
leaders They should be made to see
the folly of such course, and that it is
no sin, but the highest duty of true
citizen to desert party the moment party
deserts the true interests of that which
makes this or any country, it's industry.
10 this end, Anti>Monopolists and In
dependents should organize clubs in
every school district and hamlet, and
have meetings and secure able speakers,
to present these points clearly before the
minds of all lvoters.-Record and Union,

GREENBACK CANDIDATES i.

We are taking no part in local con-
tests. where an Independent comfy
ticket is not in the field, but we cannot
refrain from saying good word for
Porter Martin, Esq and Hon. George
C. Chamberlin, who are runningIon. the
peoples ticket in Dakot& county tor the
house. They are both able and true
men and decided greenbackers. Both
took part.in the Independent Congress
ional convention, held Sept. 12th at
Pennington. We wish them success.
We would also say a kind word for
Hon. Andrew Keegen who is running on
the Democratic ticket for the House.
He is true man and a man of educa-
ton and information and he has heart
of pure gold. Success to Aedy.
In saying this we mean no reflection
upon the other candidates who are, so
tar as we know, good men, we'll fitted
for their respective places.

MEN AGAINST MONEY.

The conflict of men with their would
be masters is an old one and it is irre-
pressible. In Rome it was plebs against
the patricians during the middle ages
of citizens against the feudal barons,
and later against the priests in all civ
ilized nations. of workmen against their
employers. The methods Of enslave-
ment have been various-of resistance
quite as diverse. Against the military
rule of the Roman aristocrats, and
against the feudal tax-gathers it was
armed resistance; against priestly do
minion the protest of martyrdom against
the extortions of combined employers,
combined, self>sacrificing refusal to
work.
The conflict goes on without end,
but it changes form and different
weapons are used alike in attack and
defence. Now and here it is the tax
eaters against the taxpayers, the cap
italists against the laborers, the ring
masters against the people, the thieves
against honest men. The weapons Of
attack are legal weapons, and the bonds
sought to be imposed legal bonds. 1t is
not brutal attack like that OF the old
barons. It is gentlemanly. but a
most insideous attack. conducted by
that most adroit but successful class Of
men, the attorneys, in the interests of
themselves and their wealthy employers.
1t is carried on in the most courteous
manner, but the object sought is to get
US to slip the letters on our own
wrists. The masters will not use force
but they will keep the key. Persuation
is used with all lawyer arts, but the
bonds have the strength of steel and
the weight of lead. The courts, the
legislatures all the appliances of gov
ernment are in the hands Of the lawyers
and all are used for-not for our protec-
tion-but our enslavement, and the
crushing power OF combined wealth is
brought to bear on US.
In all nations and in all ages the con-
flict has gone ON. In all nations and
in all ages it will 60 on-the strong
against the week. the rich against the
poor, the learned against the ignorant.
and the resistance will be no less con.
tinued and no less determined. We
have risen far; We shall rise yet higher !;
but we must remember that freedom
comes only by eternal vigilance.

BEWARE!

Our friend must look out for the
tricks of the enemy. The republican n
politicians say to the republi can voters !:
-"Donnelly has no show, you are
simply giving half vote for Wilder
when you vote for him." The demo-
cratic politicians say to the democratic
voters. "What is the use of voting tor
Donnelly? He has no possibility of
election. A vote for him is half vote
for Straitr'
Thus are both working together to
keep their: party lines in tact. The
truth is the republicans tear US more
than they co Wilder; and the democrats
know that we are the only candidate
likely to defeat Strait.
We say to our friends, that We will be
elected over both Strait and Wilder il
one-half Of those who talk of supporting
US stand firm!

THE ISSUE.

Peter Cooper advocates greenbacks,
the money Of the people; Hayes and
Tilden advocate National bank notes,
the money Of the bankers.
Peter Cooper wants greenbacks the
permanen. paper currency of the country
given to the people without interest
Hayes and Tilden wants National bank
notes as the permanent currency OF the
country. and want everybody to pay in
terest to the banks for the use Of it:
Peter Cooper opposes converting eight
hundred millions Of the public debt, tnat
was made the money Of the people, into
bonds, and taxing the people interest on
those bonds; Hayes and Tiiden both ad-
vocate changing all the greenbacks into

full as it could hold, by most enthusias-
tic audience. We are encouraged to
think that Peter Cooper will have more
votes in Redwood county than Hayes and
Tilden both.
After the meeting we adjourned to the
court house where found my good old
friends, Charles Porter of Lamberton :
w. II. Hawks Of Snndown; and last, but
by no means least, that true man, Till
Tibbets. They are greenbackers. At
the meeting we also met Major j. M.
Bowler of Beaver Falls and Jos. S.
Bowler OF the same place, with their
father, and other friends. all greenback
men.
We left Redwood Falls next morning
at o'clock strongly impressed with the
great natural advantages OF the place.
regret that I was SO hurried that could
not visit Beaver Falls, which l had de>
scribed as fourishing and handsome
town. 1t is only five miles from Red
wood Falls.
At noon we reached Golden Gate, and
at 2 o'clock spoke to quite large as
semblage in the store Of my old friend,
J. 5. Letford, formerly of fCaE4cr county.
Mr.. Letford has fine store al6 is, pros
pering. Some halt dozen townships
were represented in those present; and
among the rest found that most ener-
getic and influential man Edmund
O'Hara Of Fort Ridgley, Renville county.
The whole audience were green back
men.
At six o'clock we reached New Ulm,
the principal German city of Minnesota.
1t is credit to the race it is city of
wide-streets and handsome houses, occu-
pied by an intelligent and industrious
people. I Istoppedat the Dakota House,
where had kind treatment, clean bed
and good meals all very acceptable to
one who had been travelling fifty miles
with horses and buggy making two
speeches per day.
Here I met A. Westphal, Capt. Nam
derfeld. NJ. Mullin, Capt. George and
other friends: The meeting was held in
Albeiter Hall, and was very large, and I
learned afterwards that I had many con-
verts for Cooper and Cary.
This day. Monday. came here; /
speak in the Masonic Hall tonight. A
greenback county committee is being
held while l write this. The Greeaback
revolution is spreading everywhere.
I spoke in previous letter of the
hope entertained by the people along
the line of the St. Paul & Sioux City
Rail Road, that they would escape the
ravages Of the grasshoppers next year,
because the eggs were partly hatched.
In this part OF the state they have had the
pest for four consecutive years, and they
say that each fall the eggs presented the
same appearance of being Matched, and
nevertheless enough hatched out, in the
sprlng, to consume their crops. They
place no reliance on red bugs, worms, %
wet weather; but they think that if they
hada governmental bounty, from the
United States, they could exterminate
them; failing in that, they would be
able to live until the hoppers lett the
state. "a

riad character of these letters; t6Sy are

In our published announcements of

Judge Wilder proposes to speak in
Hastings on Monday night, Nov. 9th !;
and as Hastingsis. in some sense, our
home. the rights of hospitality demand
that the Judge should have fair and
unobstructed hearing. We have there
fore decided to speak in Hastings Satur-
day night, Nov. 4th, and at Redwing
Monday night, Nov. 9th. If however
Judge Wilder would prefer to make the

JUDGE WILDER AND THE fWA

quoting trom other speakers some very
extreme and violent utterances.
I.Judge Wilder responded to the next
toast, which was the democratic defini>

IT'S UNFAIR.

Your neighbor may be worth $l0O, 900
in Government bonds. He pays no taxes
draws his gold interest, and lives ut
ease while you, with your farm or work
shop. must toll on to pay your own taxe-
and aid in paying those Of your RIGS
neighbor. DO You want to perpetuate
such system? Hyou do, vote for either
the Republican or Democratic tickets
it makes no difference which. But if
you want to free the people. and set in
motion the wheels Of trade. identify your
self with the Independent Greenback
party. that has declared against further
class legislAtion.

ANOTHER GREENBACK CONTEN-
TION.

In another column will be found a
report of the proceedings of our Inde-
pendeut Greenback convention held
recently ut Nicollet Station, Nicollet
county. 1t was numerously attended.
and we have reason to believe its nomi>
nees will sweep the district. The can>
didate for the House is Fred. l.. Otis. a
worthy German. able and intelligent
and an enthusiastic Greenback man.

ito ticket will be elected. DR.. Well

canvassing every part Of the county.

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

We are glad to learn that the Green-
hackers Of the Sd Congressional District
will very generally vote for Hon. w. w.
McNair for Congress. DR.. Stewart is a
pleasant, genial gentleman, but he has
not, like Mr. McNair, taken open ground
against the demonetization OF silver and
the contraction Of the currency, and
therefore no Independent can support
him. Principles are more than men in
this contest.

DIR MEETINGS..

We have only time to say that our
meetings in New Ulm, Sleepy Eye,
Nicollet, St. Peter, LeSueur, ,Henders on,
and Belle Flame, were great successes.
Large audiences attended who enthasi~
astically applauded the principles Of the
independent Party. We have reason to
believe that the greenback ticket will
have one third OF the votes in those
localities.
