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

Time was when the mere sus-
picion that a man had used i'm
proper means to encompass pol
itical ends was sufficient to forever
Danish him from public life.
There has been a woeful de-
generacy, but the heart of the
nation-the mass of the people
is still sound at core. The
people believe in our insti-
buttons. The Declaration of
Independence and the principles
enunciated by the fathers of the
Republic are to them not gilt
tering generalities, but vital,
living entities.

Olive Branch: (Hancock): What
a difficult thing it is for the pro-
ducing element, the farmers,
for instance, to unite in one
great engine Of political power!
There are several reasons for
this. One is a natural difficulty
in organizing labor of any kind.
The political machinery Of the
different parties does not want
it, and move heaven and earth
to prevent any union which
means 'politics." There is a
widespread effort to "down'' all
agitators for reform. They are
called radicals, office seekers, or
even cranks. And the talk
against them is often carried on
by laborers who are under Gin
flooence?" The influence is a
sort of political fear.
Now we do not wish to appear
even to work against or for any
party. But we say this That
party should never rise above
country. In fact, there should
be no ''party ties" The cites"
should be country ties, and when
a man "ties'' his vote to a name
he is just a little tinged with
''treasOn," because he does not
put his country before party. A
man should always look to the
general good, and let his course
always run parallel with that.
And to do that the laboring in
terests should stand aloof from
everything which tends to
"down" them. In other words,
thev ShOuld stand nv each other

The elections tell story-a part,
should be held responsible-and it is
A Farmers Legion.

A Farmers Legion.
There is now scheme which can
be inaugurated at once, to remove
all doubt or difficulty in the way of
making THE GREAT West the most
powerful journal in the west if not in
the country. With 10000 subscribers
all over the state who will pledge
themselves to stand by honest poll
tics, and the Farmers Alliance,
through all troubles, quarrels, differ
ences and difficulties, THE GREAT
WEST can become the strongest Jour-
nal in the land.
Why 10000, when other journals
have more! Because 10000, EARNEST
in SO earnest a cause, are better than
$4,000 who take a journal for the
mere interest-or on general princi-
pies.
We are now issuing 5000 copies,
and will issue 5000 extra numbers
every fourth week for sample copies.
This will be done until we get 10000
subscribers. But, remember, farm
ers, 10000 places the journal above
and beyond danger. Then, if we
wish to investigate a fraud we can
send man to the work. If docu-
ments are wanted they can be secur-
ed. The first 10000 subscribers will
be called the Farmers LEGION
and they will be a tower Of strength
in the land.

A Suicidal Policy.

We have 10 objection TO urge against
any legitimate movement to invite and
secure immigration of the right kind. But
there is manifest Inconsistency in enact
ing legislation, making appropriations and
employing paid agents to travel over The
country in hunt after immigrants. when
our own people are doing all they can to
induce cur young men to leave the soil OF
their nativity. The working capital that
has been taken from the State accumu-
lated IRON the earnings OF the labor of
the people to build up other communities
is followed by the young men. who find
nothing to DO at home and seek distant
fields of enterprise inaugurate6 by the
energy and money which have left the
old Commonwealth. 1t is safe to con-
cluda that for every immigrant captured by
an itinerant system of electioneering. ten
robust young men leave, to cast their for
tunes where Virginians have gone with
the money they had accamu a.ed here.

The policy should be to invite all the de-
sirable immigration that can be reached.
and at the same time to SO adjust our

men and money we have. We are playing

it by appropriating the peoples money
