| Paul elevator-cleaned at an expense of two
cents per bushel-and sold for 80 cents.
Very dirty No. 2 from Donnelly station, too
dirty to go grade. sold for IS cents.
j. g. SutclifI, Hancock, shipped his crop to
the st. Paul Elevator Co. No. . grade and No.
3 price was the best the Millers' association
would do for him. After paying all charges
for transportation, transfer, cleaning, commits
sion, ETC., it was sold in st. Paul for 10 cents
more per bushel than No. 8 was selling for at
Hancock.
These witnesses prove what the farmer can
do for himself. Follow such examples en- nasse
and it won't take you long to burst the ring and
bring the Minneapolis Millers to Limerick.
I IT is a we'll known fact that no wheat can
| get into st. Paul from any Of the country in
tersected by the Chicago or milwaukee, railroad
companies except by wagon. a con6scatory
tariff on wheat prevents. On those customers
a slight exercise of the sovereignty of the peo-
| pie over the corporations, as expOunded by the
supreme court of the United States, would
benefit both country and city about alike.
AS it now runs, the farmer is compelled to
| pay for a 800 or 400 mile haul to Milwaukee or
| Chicago, while a haul of less than one-half
| would give him about as good prices in St.
Paul as he could get in Milwaukee. It would
give immediate relief to the farmer and libe-
rate us all from the unnatural thralldom of
Milwaukee and Chicago. It would at one
bound establish the commercial supremacy of
St. Paul beyond all question, and give new
life to every legitimate business.
Unrestricted commercial relations with the
rich and populous counties of Dakota Good
hue. Olmsted, Fillmore, Dodge, Rice, ETC., all
laying within easy reach, would double the
business and population of st. Paul before its
citizens could get ready for it. and the develop
ment of {. great milling and manufacturing
interest would be the necessary sequence
Workingnen Of st. Paul, your comfort, all
your interests, your permanent and substantial
welfare depends on the prosperity of the farm
Ell Upon the prosperity of the farmer de-
ponds the ability OF your employers to pay you
good wages and to give you steady paying
work the year round. A blow at the farmer is
a blow at you. Let your rallying cry be-
Free trade and farmers rights!
Down with the swindling brass kettles !!
Down with the wheat rings Il! !!
Down with the pine timber rings VI!
Political death and damnation to every NOUS
ing politician who Under the guise of friend
ship seeks to Influence your votes by whisky or
money. He will try to put an enemy in your
mouth to steal away your brains. Beware of
him. Preserve and perfect your organizations.
Remember that in union is strength. Main
tain watchful guard against organized capital
in every form. The evils of aggregated capital
and aggregated poverty are about alike. They
must be remedied, not by acts of violence or
reason and common sense. The ballot is your
most powerful weapon. The law arms you
with it Us the most effective weapon
to be used in the protectiou
of your rights. Use it intelligently and
faithfully. Read the newspapers. Patronize
knowledge. Make every sacrifice of personal
comfort that may be necessary in order to give
your children a sound and thorough education.
Remember that knowledge is power, and that
child or young man without good education
in these days Is always pulling and fooling

evener. Be careful as to the company you
keep, not only socially, but politically. If any
of you have heretofore acted with party
whose leaders and whose newspapers are al
ways ready to protect and defend wheat rings,
pine land rings, State House rings or county
rings, come out from the unclean thing
and join with us in giving it such
sledge-hammer blows as will put it
out of Its misery. There never was better
time to do it. Men Of the
FRONTIER COUNTIES
of this Congressional district, another
''strumpet of corruption is again stalking in
NAKED HORROR
among your quiet and virtuous homes, pro-
curing votes with the very money he swindled
his creditors out of, and with money gained by
grading No. wheat into No. 8.
The names of prominent Democrats as we'll

Washburn's 'swag, y are in my hands. warn
them of their danger. An outraged people will
demand at the hands of a Democratic Con-
gress, full investigation of every fraud
that may result in the election Of

lot box must be preserved at any
cost, and at every hazard, even if in SO doing It

High on the rolls of
ETERNAL INFAaIY

NH. BANNINa's REMARKS.
Hon. w. i. Banning was next called for,
He began by abiding to Mr.. Hodges in the
highest terms of praise. he was sincere,
open-hearted man. He was outspoken in his
! honest aversion to fraud wherever found. The
| speaker had known him as an earnest and un-
| firing worker against monopoly in southern
Minnesota in former days. He, Mr.. Hodges.
made himself known within the hour, as well
as ii he had marched about among the people
| for years. From the fullness Of his heart
he had spoken, and his words of truth
showed him to be the fearless friend and
h smpion of the people.
The speaker then took up and discussed at
length the wheat question. He charged
| the Millers' association with e1tor-
ton, and being the head of
a conspiracy to deprive the farmers of an
honest livelihood. The speaker was eloquent
in his bitter arraignment, and was cheered
| throughout his speech.
