The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1889-11-08

There is an enormous amount
of genius suppressed in this
world because the farmers sons
donotreceive a higher education.
To make both ends meet the
sssuccessful" farmer has to work
his wife half to death and keep
his boys and girls in the field
and kitchen. When the time
comes that the farmer can
educate his boys and girls as the
town and city father can, there
will be found genius enough in
this country to crowd out the
horde of Crossfield lawyers who
get into our legislature.

A miserable apology for not right
ing the wrongs of the grain grower
last winter is made by the legislators
whose record has disgraced the State
They say they undertook to pass
such laws as would give the farmer a
free market but that "Gen. Barrett
would not appear before the commit
tee!" Has the General then to bear
the whole Legislative burden of the
State on his shoulders? AS fine a
man and genuine a gentleman as
there is on the prairies of the North
west-but we doubt his Willingness
to shoulder the responsibility of
those hams who held down the State
Doodle last winter! Are the people
OF the State to suffer on account of
Gen. Barrett's delinquency-if it
were one, and we doubt it? Those
fellows pretend to know ten times as
much as the Gen1! Couldn't they
invent some remedy?

Dawson Sentinel:
The Redwood Reveille refused to
circulate Mr.. DOnnelly's address to
the farmers. The Gazette, of the
same town, circulated the address
among it's subscribers, but did so
under protest. The reason for this
manifest opposition to the farmers
movement is that Redwood Falls is
a hot bed of small fry politicians of
the Bill Huntington and Fred War
ner stripe. Papers published in a
town of that kind can't afford the
luxury of an independent opinion.
If the farmers OF that section sus-
tain papers of that stripe, they are
seriously demented. The paper has
a right to back up political thieves
and strumpets from a legal stand
pOint-but no farmer has a moral
right to sustain their iniquity.

OUR BOGUS ARISTOCRACY,

We find these items in a recent ex-
change:
To crafty Miss Huntington in the
choice of a husband, her father had
to advance the sum OF one million
dollars to pay some of the debts
hanging over the scalawag Prince
who entrapped the infatuated young
woman, who, by the alliance she has
formed, has provided for herself a
marriage portion of misery and I'M
happiness.-St Paul News.
Millions of people have been plum
dered through the watered stock of
Central Pacific to build up the vast
fortune of President Huntingdon, and
now the monkey is carried to Europe
to fill up the rat-holes OF aristocratic
debauchery and degradation.
The worst crop any country can
raise is millionaires.

sport HURON, MICH, Oct. 2S.-
Not less than $4,000 Michigan
farmers have joined the Patrons OF
Husbandry since last May and the
number is increasing every week.
They threaten to become the con-
trolling power in the politics OF the
state and then to spread over the
entire country. The patrons claim
to have been forced into being by
the monopolies and trusts, and
they propose to organize a combin-
alton that will strike terror to the
hearts of their enemies. At present
the patrons are devoting themselves
exclusively to the merchants, and in
every town where they have foot
hold they enter into an ironclad con-
tract with one dealer in each line OF
trade to purchase only from him,
exacting a pledge that they shall
not be charged to exceed II per
cent. advance on the wholesale
prices.
'"The Patrons have lodges in forty
seven counties. Kent leading with a
membership of more than 5000.
The general Offices are located in this
city, and Rev. F. w. Verbucan, an
old time Presbyterian preacher, is
the supreme president. In Febru-
airy a State Convention will be held
at Flint. The year following there
will be gathering from all over the
country at Lansing"

unite, work Tor your mutual interests
and welfare, but do not be the tool
of anyone!
Our reader will remember that two
weeks since we published the facts re-
garding Mr.. Murray's failure to get
a side track to an independent eleva-
tor-taken from the Dawson Sentinel,
a stalwart and independent paper
in Lac qui Parle Co. The Sentinel
puts the matter thus, last week:
WANTED, PEOPLES LEGISLATURE.
After quite a voluminous CORES
pondence, the Attorney General has
advised Mr.. Murray that under the
most favorable circumstances he
could not secure a verdict in the
side track matter within five years.
The case would have to go through
the state and appellate courts to the
supreme court Of the United States
where it would be at least three
years before action could be secured.
In view of all this it is OF course
practically impossible to accomplish
anything under our present law.
The attorney general and board OF
railroad commissioners agree that
the only available remedy is a leg
islature of and for the people-not
for railroads. AS we stated in an
article some time since, the grain
market of this state is today entire
ly under the control of the railroad
managers. Under our present laws
they can grant an absolute monop-
oily of the grain business on their
different lines to any individual or
firm.
When Doodle legislation is repu-
dated and railroad presidents are
sent, as Mr.. Donnelly says, mot to
the United States senate, but to
states prison for violating the laws"
we may hope that the rights of pro-
ducers will be recognized. So long
as bribery and corruption are tri-
umphing the farmers will continue to
toll and sweat that rogues may
fatten.
Now we object to the Attorney
General, or the Railway Commission,
for that matter, smoothing down
and palliating, procrastinating, in
that style. In the first place it is
the Attorney Generals place, as at
torney for the commission, to begin
suit at once, if it takes seventeen
hundred years to get verdict. In
the sixth place, the commission is
bound to begin the suit, and not put
it off on Mr.. Murray In the tenth
place, Mr.. Murray need not antici-
pate any genuine motive OF anti-gang
propensity on the part OF the Attor
ney General. Mr.. Clapp's record in
Pope County matter is not only a
revelation Of supremacy OF bossism
over that Office, but of the bossism
OF little country attorney and anti
alliance ring which has plastered the
county with disgrace and cast a
blush over the whole state. For par
ticulars refer to the illustrated pages
of the Police Gazette! The activity
of the alliances will bring up a host
of whipped-cream friends around
that state housewife are the very
Joint and marrow OF the railroad
gang.
Remember this, gentlemen Of the
Blue Jean, that the Attorney General
of Minnesota is the Attorney of the
Railroad Commission, and when one
moves the other keeps step. An old
song says: ''There's a future, Oh,
thank God!' Guess there is.

Prof. John Allison; Deputy State
Lecturer of the State Farmers
Alliance, 2718 Stevens Ave.,
Minneapolis, Mimi. Mr.. Allison
proposes to keep in the field all
winter.
Meetings, unless otherwise des-
ignated, will be held at 2 p. m.
If a different hour is preferred
those interested will please confer
with Mr.. Allison.
Friends Of the cause are re-
quested to see that Mr.. Allison is
entertained free of charge, and
helped on his way to his next ap-
pointment. 1t is suggested also
that a collection be taken up
to defray his travelling and other
expenses as he receives no salary,
and his labor is "a labor of
love-"
Prof. Allison has several very
interesting lectures, "The Battle
of Gettysburg, ""'The Yosemite
etc., which he will deliver, upon
request, and thus be enabled to
meet the expenses OF the cam
paign he is making. We hope
our friends will help him.
w. G. Bowers, of the Viola,
Olmsted County, Alliance, writes
us a very interesting letter, in
which he expresses the opinion
that the evening is better time
for alliance meetings than the
afternoon; it certainly is SO, so
long as the fall work lasts. He
also states that some members
of his alliance have shipped their
own produce, timothy, barley,
etc. He says, "the grain shipped
by the farmers from this point
has generally paid them a net
profit OF from $500 to $4,000
per car over and above the offers
of local dealers"
This is a very encouraging ex-
perience for other farmers to con-
slider, and shows how large a
profit is made by the middle
men. That money might just as
well remain in the farmers pock-

The Mankato Journal is Of
Sound Heart. 1t Says:

Sound Heart. It Says:
When one realizes the power in the
hands of wOrkingmen and farmers it
is a great matter of wonder that in
more instances this power is not
welded properly. Instead of that
the Industrial classes are acted upon
by an arbitrary power in the hands
of some "Hon.," Capt." or "Gen."
Somebody with suave manner and a
very slick tongue. The last legisla-
ture is pronounced by Republicans
and Democrats, alike, to have been
the most pernicious in the history of
the State. The wheat rings, the pine
land rings, railroad rings, and other
capitalistic combinations ruled the
ranch with an iron rod, as it were,
and yet the farmers and Industrial
classes, generally, put these hirelings
into position; gave them all the pow
er they possess, Isn't it about time
the tables were turned, and the prop
er representatives of the Industrial
classes recognized as they should
be? Principles before party, every
time, should actuate the people to
put in the rear these ringsters that
have thus fastened themselves upon
the people with a death-llke grip, so
much SO that the fair fame of this
State has been furnished more than
ever before in the history of the COM
monwealth by the cry of boodleism!
1t is true a radical change should
be effected. Apropos to this subject
we are glad to note the advanced
step taken by the representative ALI
ance paper-THE GREAT WEST. We
hOpeit may continue in it's good work
until mOnOpOly's complete reign in
this country will be stayed by the
ballots of the Industrial classes
Some papers seem to think the ALI
ance should go because the members
are threatening to cooperate at the
ballot box. Too long have the farm
ing classes been used to the cats paws.
They should awaken to sense of
their duty, and endeavor to forever
put an end to the stealings in which
they, as a class, are the principal SUI
ferers.

The following was clipped from an
exchange:
The st. Paul Herald, one of the
most fearless and sauciest news
papers in the State, makes note OF
Hon. Ignatius DOnnelly's TRADE
against the last legislature and, in
plain English, asserts that Mr.. Don
nelly is the prince of boodlers; that
he raked in Doodle by the $4,000
last winter. We have always enter
tanned an exalted opinion OF Mr..
Donnelly and are loath to believe the
Herald's charges true.
The miserable hound who put that
before the people is too filthy a re-
creant to nOtice-were it not that
Just such assertions are the DEFENSE
THE ONLY DEFENsE-Of the thieves
who are robbing the country under
the agis OF our political system. Mr..
Donnelly with difficulty got together
enough money to come to ST. Paul,
during the senatorial canvass. He
did not have means enough to even
make use of the usual agencies for
campaign work. He could purchase
no newspapers-no henchmen. His
financial matters came under our no.
tice. He was deserted by many po-
litical pawn-brokers because he
couldn't talk money" to them-and
was practically sold out. He re-
turned to his farm at Nininger, and
with extreme difficulty was enabled
to get himself together again after a
political expenditure less thanfor any
campaign ever undertaken in this
state.
Parties who know Mr.. DOnnelly's
circumstances, know that that lie is
not only offensive to the facts, but is
absolutely revolving. The man who
wrote it is a miserable spirit, who
from a carriOn meal. rises to throw
the putrid bones at upright men.
Fortunately we happen to know the
facts regarding Mr.. Donnelly's cir
cumstances.

Gazette, Mitchell:
President LOucks, of the Farmers
Alliance, scored the railway commits
sion very severely in his talk last
week. The Gazette thinks that
Loucks in all right in this matter. If
the Dakota railroad commission has
ever done anything except ride
around in specials cars and draw
their salaries like little men no one
seems to be aware of it. If they ever
accomplished anything they have
been very careful to keep it to them
selves. A proper railroad commits
sion, elected by the people and cloth
ed with the proper powers, is all
right, but the Dakota railroad COM
mission is a useless and expensive
appendage that should be abolished
right speedily.
Minnesota has the boss commits
sion-so we are told, having never
seen or heard of them. They work
like beavers-to keep their salaries in
sight. When the alliances of an in
terror county complained OF a differ
ence in the price of wheat between
them and Minneapolis of % to q
cents, they at last answered-stat-
ing that the LOCAL BUYERS were
making Ice. of that difference! And
