The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1889-11-01

the circular letter of the State Lee
turer. He writes that Viola Grange
is ready to listen to Deputy Lee
turer; and he will guarantee IS 90 to
cover his expenses. This is the way
to talk. Now let leading men all
over the State follow this example,
and we can have series of meetings
all through the state, this winter,
that will be a source of pleasure and
profit to the farmers. Some one
asked-"Why should the devil have
all the fine music?" And we do ask,
why should the city the have ali
intellectual entertainments? Be-
cause a man lives in the country
should he know nothing of what is
going on in the world of thought
and action?
Who will follow Mr.. Bowers exam
pie?
In Mcleod county they had, three
months ago, but two of the sickly
alliances-covered with flies. Now
they have seven-probably eight by
this time, full of life and zealand
the good work is progressing and
every town in the county will be org
anized.
In one county in this state there
are some towns settled almost alto
gether by Germans. Some OF our
timid friends said: ooh you can't
get the Germans to go into an ALI
ance. Americans, Scandinavians,
Irish, etc. are all right, but the Ger
mans are too slow. "Notwithstand-
ing these doleful prophecies an inroad
was made with the German towns
and the result was large and success
full Alliances. The Germans are Just
as wide-awake to their own interests
and the necessity of organizing them
selves against the robbers as any peo-
pie in the state.
WANTED. A couple of bright young
Scandinavians, with some capital, to
start a Scandinavian Alliance organ,
and work in concert with The Great
West. There is a big opening in this
direction, and it will not be long I'M
til it is filled. The Alliance will have
$4,000 members in Minnesota, before
| ,orfho orl ov,o +h:,nl IS 4l,ox,,
will be Scandinavians; while in the
two Dakotas the Scandinavian Ali
ance men are legion.
There are numbers of capable
men among the farmers, with good
brains and lots of ideas. Don't let
the rings and the monop0zies do all
the-talking. Write for The Great
West. You may set others to think
ing and writing; and thus the hon
est men will naturally assist each
other in the long sore battle with
the thieves. You know how men
who are lost in the dark encourage
each other by calling out, and how
cheerful the voice of a friend is I'M
der such circumstances. Let the
voices of the farmers be heard
through the fog of corruption that
is settling down upon the industries
and the interests OF the people.
Arrangements are being made to
have Deputy Lecturer Allison make a
series ii speeches in Mcleod county,
during November.
Our friends in Kandiyohi County
must not forget Mr. Allison's meet
ings from Nov. 4th to 9th inclusive,
in that county. The President of
the Alliance, Geo. w. Sprague, Esq,
probably will accompany him and es-
pecially discuss the Insurance bust
ness of the Alliance. Mr. Sprague is
an able speaker.
If there is any feeling of soreness
or the part of any Alliance men, as
to this or that man !-or as to this or
that matter of detail, these paltry diff
ferences must he over looked and all
forgotten. Nelson ran up to his
masthead when entering the greatest
sea-fght ever fought, the message
England expects every man to do his
duty" An Irishman who was on one
of the vessels wittily remarked, that
1.-THE admiral didn't say anything
