RENDSVILLE AFTER THE CAKE. REG
sULAR OLD ROUSER.

sULAR OLD ROUSER.
RENDsvILLE, Dec. End, 1889.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Rendsville claims the cake. We
have the Banner Alliance of Stevens
Co. At our last meeting Nov 80,
every seat and most of the standing
room was occupied.
Proposals for membership came in
so fast that the secretary was oblig-
ed to request the candidates to form
in line and march up to the desk one
at a time and give their name in
order to avoid confusion. We only
want two more to give us majority
OF the legal voters of the town; one
member says we will not be satisfied
until we have converted the whole
town.
There were present a quite num-
Der OF visitors, the most prominent
of whom was Vice President R. J.
Hall of the State Alliance. Mr.. Hall
drove over to see what his neighbors
in the Rendsville Alliance were doing,
he saws as an alliance, Rendsville is
getting there.
By request of President S. B.
Smith, Mr.. Hall addressed the meet
ing briefly but to the point, his re-
marks were upon alliance work in
general but more particularly refer.
red to the subject of Non Partisanism
Mr.. Hall is just as staunch farmers
friend. and alliance worker, as ever.
Now farmers of Stevens Co. go to
work and organize an alliance in
every town where there is not already
one. There can just as well be a
good working alliance in every town
in the county Stevens. Respect

Shylock's Extortion.
From Aug. LIST, 1886 to Nov. 1,
1889, the Secretary of the Treas
ury purchased 1894, 3O2,3OO of 4
per cent bonds for which he paid
$12O, 691, $50, and 1924, 177,35O
of AZ per cent bonds which cost
1914, 292, 593. This is an extor-
ton of 1886, 4O4,S2 On the
bonds due next year two years
interest was paid and on the
bonds which a forged bond law
makes due in 1907 seven years
interest was paid. This was
done to get the money back where
the people could borrow it that
had been taken from them by
over-taxation-at 10 to 80 per
cent.
How do you like it farmers?
You owe a debt drawing Ak per
cent interest not yet due and are
over taxed and compelled to pay
seven years interest in order that
you may get a chance to pay
from 10 to 40 per cent interest
for the money. Is not that bril-
liant financiering?
Fifty thousand dollars of that
money came from Clark county.
Are you so flush that you can
afford to keep this up? You
have just elected four members
of Congress every one in favor of
this system and you voted for it
three to one. Don't grumble at
the high rate of interest at home
as long asyon endorse this extor-
ton by your votes.
You have got $217.OOO,OOO
more of money locked up in the
National treasury besides about
fifty million dollars on deposit
with National banks. The Pac-
ific railroads have one hundred
and thirty millions that you
kindly loaned to them and they
don't even pay the interest: and
there is seventy millions OF delin-
quent whiskey tax. The man
who says you are hard up must
be a fool or you would insist on
less taxes and the payment Of
more money lying around loose or
loaned to the banks and railroads
than the entire wheat crop is
worth this year. You have paid
off more bonds not due than you
get cash for this years crop.
Who said farmers we're hard up =?

HECTOR, Mimi, Dec. 5th, 1889.
Mr.. EDITOR:
At farmers meeting held in Hec-
tor tonight a Farmers Alliance was
organized with 81 charter members.
Mr.. Allison, Deputy State Lecturer,
was present and delivered an able
address to full house. Mr.. A. J.
Salomonson, OF Gibbon, Deputy
County Lecturer, and Insurance Ag't
was also present, and talked to the
meeting for some time on the Alliance
Insurance business, it's advantages

A club was raised for the GREAT

The next meeting of the Hector
Farmers Alliance will be at the school
house in Hector, Saturday. Dec. Fl.
Economist:
Bradstreet's reports contain
thefollowing regarding railroads
in England. There must besome
mistake about American leg
islation, for this reason: there
never was an act passed in this
country that did not favor the
railroads:
just at present there is con-
siderable agitation among Eng
fish traders and manufacturers
for relief from what their spokes-
men characterize as extortionate
freight charges imposed by the
railway companies.
A number OF meetings have late

to exact unjust rates for the use
thereof.
2. Our railroads should be
owned and so controlled by the
government, as to be run in the
interest of the people upon an
actual cost basis.
3. The establishment of a ma
tional monetary system in which
a circulating medium in necessary
quantities shall issue directly to
the people, without the interven-
ton of banks; that all the ma
tional issue shall be full legal
tender in payment OF all debts,
public and private; and that the
government shall not guarantee
or recognize any private banks
or create any banking cor
poration.
4. Equal and just taxation Of
property.
5. Prohibition, state and ma
tiOnal.
6. Election of Uuited States
senators by the direct vote OF the
people.
Z. Courts of arbitration, that
justice, not precedent, may gov
ern.
8. The Australian or similar
system OF voting.
8. The aboliti on of the con-
tract system on national, state
an municipal works.
10. The prohibition, bylaws,
ofthe employment of children I'M
der fifteen years of age in mines,
shops and factories.
IL. To prohibit the hiring out
of convict labor.
We demand of our legislature
a thorough and effective usury
law, also a uniform caucus and
election law, applicable to all cleo
tons.
Albert Lea Standard:
In glancing over the official
statement Of the profits Of the
Pillsbury mills, as furnished by
well known chartered account
ants Of London, England, and
published exclusively in the Trib-
une, we we're panied to observe
that these mills only cleared 40
cents for every second, night and
day, last year. This amounts to
a mere bagetelle of $2.4O profit
per minute, $144.33 per hour,
So, 1890 per day, 1874, 247, 80
per week, or 81. 26O, S6Oper year.
minneapolis Tribune.
Thus tits proven that the COM
plants of the farmers that the
Minneapolis mills were making
unfair profits, and that the own
ers were becoming immensely
rich at the expense of the i'm
poverished tillers of the soil, are
literally true. Think OF it! A
profit OF $24.O every minute and
total yearly gain over all expen-
ses of a million and a quarter!
And this has been going on for
ten or fifteen years. No wonder
the embarrassing farmers are
poor and that in the distress of
their wrongs they cry out against
a system of business and in
Weigh laws or lack Of laws where
by it is permitted.
The State assessor of New York
thinks that with in a few years
there will be none but tenant
farmers in this State. Mortgages
have increased everywhere, while
farm values have been depreciat-
ing. 1t is not wholly the COM
petition of Western farmers who
have not much less of uphill in
their Journey throug hardwork-
ing life. Ex.
The Farmers and Laborers'
Union Of America, the National
Farmers Alliance of the North
ern States, the National Farmers,
Alliance of the Southern Safes,
and the National Agricultural
wheel-the last two comprising
what is now known as the Farm
ers and Laborers' Union-all met
in St. Louis Tuesday,. This was
without question the largest
convention of farmers ever held
in the United States, and as for
that matter in the world.

Burlington Reporter: Coal is
now being transported from But
falo all the way to Duluth for
twenty-five cents per ton. The
rate from Duluth to Grand Forks
less than half the distances
only 1926, or rather, 13 times
as great as between Buffalo and

alton Of the Legislature should
be given to this matter this

dallying with the railroads any
longer.

The Herman Enterprise gives
vent to the following complaint !:
For sending a boy to a car of
wheat to get a sample and then
finding purchaser for the car,
commission men at Minneapolis
charges, one cent per bushel.
This amounts to $3.50 per car,
and viewed from the standpoint
of farmer is more extortionate
than any charges ever made by
railroads in these palmy days OF
monopoly. While the farmers
are kicking, let them kick at
those who for the least amount
of labor and trouble levy a heavy
tax on all that the farmer pro-
duces. Our next legislature on
ght to pass a law reducing the
rates of commission for selling
wheat to one-fourth Of a cent
per bushel.
