w. N f. Months has reversed the
wheels nment, by declaring un-
constitut. III an important law. It, too,
is dominated by the railroads. When
rings are throtling everything that is
good and free, we can do nothing but
raise the standard of revolt and resist
ance in a crusade tor our rights. We will
in 1892 put up ticket which will be sup
| ported by all who want to preserve their
rights. Look at the signs of the times.
Congress has enrolled a militia-it is q
standing army, which congress has seen
the necessity for.
L have thrown myself into the fight,
willing to fight in this new crusade for
the white, not the black, mans rights.
| do this in my old age, with few years
of life left, with no hope of reward. /
ask you farmers to vote for the Alliance,
ticket. Your hope, your home, your
hut, your posterity depend upon the
little ballot that you cast If there is a
person who will throw away that right
TO vote, if there ls no hell, as Col. Inger--
soil says, there ought to be one created
for him. | hope that there will be
no needless conflict between General
Baker and ex-senator Wilkinson,
for both in their hearts have the same
sentiments. | know that Gen. Baker,
| terests, if elected. Vote for your legis-
lative ticket. have nothing hard to
say of Mr.. Barr and Mr.. Davis, but they
have not one thing to point with pride
to in the last legislature-that dreadful,
damnable, horrible session. They
should have
DENOUNCED ITS CORRUPTION
to heaven. but instead of that they were
as silent as clans Next winter let them
be as silent as CLAIMS at home, to bring
forth good fruit in their repentance.
| In st. Paul and Minneapolis the labor
ing men are for the Alliance ticket.
! While there has been mismanagement,
if great fight were made, / believe
that the Alliance ticket would receive
more votes that either of the old parties,
for in both of those are many men who
secretly believe that their parties are
corrupt things.
| | take middle view upon the tariff
question. Few intelligent men believe
in absolute free trade, but am not in fav-
or of the excessive tariff that is now in
existence, and expressly protest against
what is called the Mckinley bill. Our
congressman have flown directly in the
face of the wishes of the people, after
having been elected on promises of re-
duction. Behind the tariff is
ANOTHER ROBBERY
that is more colossal than the highest
tariff watered stock upon railroads. In
Minnesota all the roads in the state can
be reproduced, equipped and complete,
for $4,000 mile. They are bonded
and stocked from $4,000 to $4,000 s..
mile. To pay the interest on this, ev-
erything that you buy pays toll.
1t is capitalized robbery, extortion,
saddled upon the backs of the people.
The farmers wheat is locked in price
to pay in advance the increased price of
transportation, While you are made
Door. colossal fortunes are rising, and
Jay GoSiie can ll4-a sew Years accumu-
late $500, 100000, and Vanderbilt $780,
100000. At length this white race Will
be driven again ana again from their
homes, until they stand upon the shores
of the Pacific, knowing that there is no
hope beyond.
Mr. Donnelly was frequently applaud
ed, as he made his most striking points.
