Recently it was Thanksgiving Day.
All the shirt-makers and "finishers"
in the great cities gave thanks that
they were able to earn $2.75 week,
and see the Cody people eat turkey
"a million OF the poor are thankful
that their virtue still holds out.
Thousands of laborers within miles
of our Office give thanks that when
they applied for work at so cents a
day they were refused-the applica-
lions were greater than the need.
Millions of farmers thanked God
that after stealing all the profit
there was on wheat the FLUTES left
the old rooster to make a holiday
on.
Yea, give thanks raise the timbrel,
shout, and lie like the ID! Yea,
Selah!

IF you have a little farm or bust
ness, and are out of debt, don't fret
and work yourself and your good
wife into the grave for the sake of
making money. You have but one
life to live and that is very brief at
the best. Take little comfort and
pleasure as you go along day by day,
and try to do a little good to others.
A morbid, insatiate desire to possess
the earth, to grab everything in
sight, is at the foundation of more
misery than almost any one thing.
Wealth alone will never keep your
memory green after you are gOne-a
good life and kind actions will.
This precious fragment originated
in the editorial fake-shop where poll
ticians turn out grists redhot for the
soothing of the distempered people.
''Take little comfort, while l draw
your shirt off your back, and fit on a
pair of wooden shoes" Don't try
to be rich, like those poor suffering
millionaries BE poor and you'll
be happyn' Don't eat canned
tomatOes-oniOnsa and fried pigtails
are the source OF all comfort -
Don't let your boys get ambitious,
either!" That's the tune OF the
above song.

Mr.. Dunn

Called us rank demagOgue the
other day-because we wanted to
keep the wheat buyers and railOad
scavengers out of the legislature. 1t
was a surprise to us, because there
was dim impression that Mr. D.
had Dunn the square thing in the leg
islature. Upon looking up the matter
the impression proved correct. And
when Eric Sevatson was interviewed
on the matter Eric said that the edi-
tor of the Princeton Union stood up
to the rack last winter on the Usury
bill, and that he was right on the
Pope railroad bill, etc. That being
the case we can only say that his
present attitude is due to the fact
that they have got a new railroad up
there. They are so happy over it
that they don't care a millet seed
whether they are robbed out of a
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year or not.
The GREAT WEST only fears blow
from an evil man-and therefore Mr..
Dunn may get in as many whacks as
he likes-they won't hurt the
righteous.

Railroad fighting and a scarcity Of
whiskey don't seem to have ruined
Iowa. Here's what the American
Banker says OF that state for the
past year:
''There are fifty savings banks with
total assets of ST., 185, 34O.19 and
eighty-one state banks with total
assets OF $13,17O,1O314. At the
close of the previous biennial period,
two years ago, there were but thirty
seven savings banks and sixty-fve
state banks with total assets of
$22, 942, 1854. ID, as against $50, $780,
443, 33 now. The large increase in
the assets OF savings banks, amount
ing to over 81, 100000 during the
last two years, is an Indication of a
healthy condition of business in
Iowa."

ReSOlutinQ.

"You say societies can resOlute
themselves to death, DR.. 90
Eyes, there never should be over a
30 line set of resolutions passed by
the state alliance and perhaps by
local bodies-and they should be per-
petual-until rendered valueless by
reforms"
But why not longer ones?''
because no one reads them-nOt
a man. Those who hear them read
first, listen and cheer. They are then
published and that means burial
without resurrection.
"No one reads them after, you
say"
''NO One-absolutely no one.'
"What kind of resolutions would
be read?
ooh, ten lines of them-with hard
coal fire in the centre
LAS for instance?"
"Well for an off-hand specimen
like these:
These politicians are a corrupt
body of rascals because they've been
petted too long.
2.-BoOdle is a crime against the
republic.
3.-The railways are a greedy,
thieving, unprincipled lot of corpora

4.-The elevator combines are rob-

AdamsOn, the Minneapolis money
loaner, was convicted of forgery the
other day. Was he a member of the
last legislature? He was a sample
of the scurvy scOundrels who are
eating out the vitals of the western
prosperity and must have been a
politician. What a loathsOme spec
tacle that disreputable legislature
does present-haggling over the usury
bill, and standing in with the greedy
dogs who are sucking blood from
western toll, and paralyzing western
energy. OF all the gatherings Of
humanity, that last legislature least
resembled the race whose name they
bore. One of the members swears he
has a ''dOuble''-and that it was the
other fellow who was one of them
that he wasn't there at all.

Hard on the lighthouse Politician.

Hard on the "Pothouse Politician.
The following is taken from an
esteemed exchange which comes all
the way from Missouri-the ''Climax
Advocate" Shake, brother, shake
your appletree is good enough for
us to stand under:
Are the people ready to have their
necks wrung, their homes sacked, to
build up a mOneyed Oligarchy on the
ruins of this Republic? If they are,
all that is required at their hands is
to break down the Wheel, Alliance
and other kindred organizations and
go on blindly, d few years longer, vo-
ting for pot-hOuse politicians. The
present leaders of the two old parties
have demonstrated by their every ac-
ton that they are the most servile
tools in the hands of a greedy, soul
less money power thatis as devoid of
mercy and justice as is the Internal
regions of angels of light. For misery
nothing.
The Widows moan and the or
phan's cry for justice has no effect
on it's scared conscience. Nothing
but gold will satisfy it's. rapacious
greed. Gold, though it flows into it's
Golfer through the channels of bank
ruptcies, wrecked homes, suicides, in
SAMMY and dishonored virtue, is with
it, the end of all perfection. This is
the monster that to-day with the
help of it's plant tools (politicians)
is fastening it's greedy clutches upon
the liberties of the American peo-
pie.

he buys back his bran and shorts at
from half to three-quarters OF cent
per pound, and the loaf of bread on
the mechanics table in an adjoining
city, brings from six to ten cents per
pound. What's wrong?
Railroad capitalists get together
and issue ''stock'' to the amount of
$50, 100000, then put such rates
(taxes) upon wheat and other pro-

large interest and dividends thereon,
and we, the people (poor fools), pay

Dawson Sentinel :

Dawson Sentinel:
The Dawson Sentinel intimates
that Senator Washburn was lying
when he denied making the state
ment that the '1ast legislature was
the most corrupt in the history of
the state'' The people of Minneso-
ia will undoubtedly take fully as
much stock in the word of a man like
w. D. Washburn as they will in the
unfOunded insinuatiOns of the editor
of the Dawson Sentinel-AnOka
Herald.
Quite likely, Mr.. Eastman. Mr..
Washburn is general and a
''statesman,' while the editor of the
Sentinel is only "a youth to fortune
and to fame unknown" But the
damaging fact, upon which the Sen
tinel's "unfounded insinuation" is
based, remains, nevertheless, that
Senator Washburn has
ed denial of the statement above
quoted in the New York World, the
paper in which it first appeared.
How do you account for this delin-
quency, Mr.. Eastman?
And little further, Mr.. Eastman,
may we ask you whether or not Mr.
Washburn emitted $17 100000 OF in
come certificates, $500 line) on which
he paid 13H cents on the dollar?
And if so, whether this preciOns q. S.
Senator did not thus defy the state

which he lives. AS far as ''belief''

perhaps the Graceville Democrat was

With English 'syndicates gobbling

it would seem that they were after

MAKING HISTORY.

This week will make history for
the world. During all these later
years labor has been struggling to
organize it's vast forces into shape to
assert it's rights and it's dignity.
Body after body have arisen, assum-
ing form and shape, and then melt
ing away under the hot breath OF
strife, or the silent scheming OF pOlit-
ical enemies.
Meantime the plutOcrat has arisen
in the land-the wealth of the world
has been seized by 80 900 out of e., OOO,-
600 of people, and corporations are
destroying the property OF the mid
die classes.
But out of all this turmoil, and
breaking up of forces there energies
three or four really powerful or
CARNATIONS. There are the Knights
of Labor, the Farmers Alliance, the
Southern Alliance, the Agricultural
Wheel, the Federated Union, etc.
These great national organizations
held a meeting this week at st. Louis
and for the almost sublime purpose
Of combining these vast labor inter-
ests into one vast federated union.
We held our presses one day later in
the effort to get news from the meet
ing-but as the mails of Friday are
written Wednesday, and the meeting
begins practically that day, it will be
impossible to give the results this
week.
Such a Union would truly cause a
thrill of JOY in the heart of every Ia
boring man worthy of the name of
labOrer. tits the beginning of the end
of the present domination of capt.
tai.
Amid such JOY there would be but
one dark shadOw-and that would
be the memory of the blackleg sycO-
plants in every county who have
hindered the great Alliance move
ment.

From the Assembly to the

Mr.. j. C. Horey, Secy Exec.
Board K. of L., Wisconsin, writes us
a note in which he gives a resolution
passed by Labor Assembly, No. 1891
at recent meeting. The following
is aportiOn of it.:
'The sooner the educational work
of the order is extended from the as
sembly room to the ballot box the
better it will be for the Industrial and
social progress in our country. The
ballot box is a complete armOr and
weapon of defense against all forms
of oppression under our form of gov

Evidences that the south is organ
izing effectively in it's revolt against
the tyranny of the commercial w Orld
is coming in every day. The south
ern people have spirit to act when
they think they have been wronged.
We are afraid our Minnesota farmers
have not enough of the spirit of our
fathers! Can it be that this genera
ton will lie down at the feet of it's
robber-masters and lick the hand
that strikes! Poor hope for America
if it's laboring classes consent to be
sent to their novels like whipped

What is known as the political
gang" of the Dakotas, after the sup
port which the alliance gave the
parties, undertook to break down
the alliance in the new states. They
marshalled their forces and unfOlded
their intrigue at the annual meeting
at Aberdeen. After practically ruin
ing one Or two prominent members
and workers, and Gripping the cru
ralist," the matter came to a dead
issue on the election of president.
To their utter discomfort the dirty
nest of political scOundrels found
their forces to consist of % votes
out of about $50! God bless Dakota
our cause would be nearly hopeless
without her.
After this defeat a number of the
party hirelings left the convention.
