IA tne Electric power-house at the end of
sne Nortn Seattle ele ctric road last night
me meeting was very largely attended BY
1ne influential Republicans of the ward

enrolling new members and instructing

Robert Wilson, of the canvassing COM
mitsee, reported progress in the work and
stated that the work had been completed

Republican central committe. asking that

proval.
Chairman Clarke thought that the city
clerks Office ought to be kept open until
9o'ciock in the evening to allow working
men to register. Others present also urged
this point and Colonel Sharpe was ap-
pointed to arrange for the carrying into
effect of that idea.
Colonel c. N. Sheafe recommended that
+. ID. w. Hoibrook receive the support OF
the club for member of the board of CITY
works. Colonel Sharpe also suggested
Colonel sheafe for park commissioner, and
the club carried both the above PROPOSE
tons. Later the club was addressed by

Dirt Eaters.

The miserable contrabands like the
Minneapolis Tribune and the Jour
nal, published the celebrated chal-
lenge OF Mr.. Pillsbury on the wheat
racket-but they are as silent as a
fungus when the challenge is taken
up and the wheat dealer crawfshes.
Anyone would think that a challenge
involving
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
was of some interest to wheat farm
ers and Board of Trade men. But
papers which fill up four or five col
umns day on a picayune base ball
scratch could find no stomach-room
to digest the vital facts concerning
the prosperity OF the state These
city dailies are great fountains OF plu-
tocratic ideas and bankers schemes.
They are curses to the nation-no
curse that ever Swallowed stricken
people equals purchased press.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-05-23

The Minneapolis papers, and their
sickening pup-taggers OF the party
the lick-spittles OF the country press
the dogs who eat the bread of the
farmers toll and then take pay for
the dirty work-are filed with the
letters and challenges of Mr.. Pills
bury. We do not abuse Mr.. P. He
is working out his interest in a per-
mitted commercial system. 1t is the
towards OF the party we "abuseP'
The same papers in 1888 published
the same letters from Mr.. Pillsbury
about the coming rise in wheat, just
before it dropped to 76c 1t is a
good plan for the miller. You see
about one-tenth of the selling wheat
was left on the farm at the time of
the May settlements. If the farmer,
who had sold at so and 66c. could
be induced to hold over till the May
bulge was busted" the great millers
would be saved about 15c a bushel,
and the farmers lose it. And the pa
pers who can't find room for our
counter-challenges, publish the rot
of the wheat ring every time.

B0uud to he a Sneak.

The farmers OF Kansas have "got
on" to Robert P. Porter, the census
taker. They have unearthed some
OF his circular-letters showing be-
yond all questions that the mort
gage part of the census is to be a
fraud. That is enough. When it
gets so that the U. S. government
cheats it's own people on the vital
question of prosperity or poverty, it
is time to squeal. The Kansas
farmer is already organizing in great
bodies which publicly refuse to pay
any more taxes. What the move
ment will amount to it is difficult to
tell-but this sneaking duplicity on
the part OF Porter in reference to the
mortgage enumeration is one of the
prime causes. The people have no
confidence in the government-and
would be fools if they did --
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-05-23

and would think at once he was be-
ing cheated by the agent, who would
be compelled to charge a profit of 10
per cent on the goods and would not
be able to buy them at a lesser price.
His house frequently makes close
prices on line of goods to an old
customer, in order to enable him to
sell it as a leader.
MIR. D. A. Kimball, of Marshall
Field & Co., explicitly said that he
would not speak for his firm, but
that his personal opinion was that
the Alliances would be short-lived.
He received a communication from
one OF his customers who had been
threatened with a boycott by the
farmers unless he would sell them
goods at only 10 per cent above
cost. Mr.. Kimball advised this mer-
chant to keep the even tenor of his
way and the thing would soon blow
over without serious consequences.
Mr.. James II. Walker, the head of
the large dry goods firm OF j. H.
Walker & Co., said that there would
be division of the farmers on the
Alliance question, that ''many men
have minds" and consequently there
would be large number of farmers
in every community that would not
affiliate with these organizations,
and if the regular merchants display
superior ability in the management
OF their business they would attract
these farmers as well as business
from actual members of the Alliances
to their stores. If the farmers select
man untitled to carry on the bust
ness, regular merchants will draw
more of the trade from the Alliance
The agent OF the Alliance will be con-
stantly in competition with other
merchants and have the disadvan-
tage of being limited to certain
percentage OF profit. A good mer-
chant is frequently selling leaders"
at cost or even below. The agent of
the Alliance can never afford to do
this, as he will be unable to make up
the loss on other articles as the regu-
lar merchant can do"

That Report on Irvine.

The following letter and report
constitute matter which should have
appeared before. Mr.. Swain, of the
Irvine committee, has asked us sew
eral times about the Report referred
to; but, in common with many other
papers, it disappeared at the late
State Meeting. Mr.. Lathrop was
Secretary but a few hours, and it
could not be expected that he could
grasp the whole matter in that
time. And at the same time nearly
all of the resolutions outside of the
platform were left out. Even our
imperfect report took up nearly two
issues of the GREAT WEST, and, as it
was only newspaper report, stat
ing distinctly that Secretary Lath-
rop could furnish but a fragment OF
it, the farmers could not expect us to
publish a verbatim report as a per-
sonal expense! 1t would have made
a volume OF fully 100 pages. Other
great organizations pay for such re-
ports. This paper published the
largest "Proceedings'' of the State
Meeting ever put into a newspaper.
Mr.. Swain, however, was anxious to
have the Report on Irvine published
in full, and as soon as it was positive
that the original could not be found,
he undertook to rewrite it. He
states the case himself, as follows:
EDITOR GREAT WEST:

eff our good friends of the Triumph
Alliance had listened attentively to
Ex-President Sprague, one of the
most sensible and broad-gauged of
the Alliance workers, and taken his
advice they would not have stopped
over so badly in their resolution

They put us in mind OF new converts
at Methodist revival. They always
talk loud and pitch in to convert the
world at once, but after finding that
their prayers, exhortations and en-
thusiasm blow away in smoke they
settle down and make first-class men
and some OF them become preachers
and class leaders. From the stuff the
Triumph Alliance is made OF we feel
assured that it's members will do the
same when the smoke clears away"
The Martin County Sentinel pub
fishes the above. That is just what we
think of Geo. w. Sprague's "talks.'
He has read up on the Pennsylvania
corner OF railway history, and gently
reminds his hearers that there is an
iniquIty somewhere but look out
for these toe-jamming, ring-yellers,
with an Irish mouth and a hump
back, who go round the country

flock OF wild bulls Geo. never will

ism, or climb out OF purgy on by
words.
The politician, sweet and sappy,
knows better. These city boodlers
who have ''stood i'm with them, 10
these many years, would start the
sweat in their arm-pits if they said
too much.

$2,OO0-a-year insurance snaps to
risk his neck on any of this Wild
eyed agitation business.

A good friend OF ours sends us the
following, clipped from the Farm

EDITOR FARM, Stock AND HOME:
I wish you would announce that
there will be a meeting of the farm
ers of Traverse County, Mimi, at
Wheaton, on May 18th. The speak
ers will be DR.. Fish, editor OF the
GREAT WEST, and Gov. Merriam.
With two such decided anti.monopo-
lists and tariff reformers to address
them, surely the farmers ought to
turn out and give them a grand re-
ception. We are glad to know that
our Governor has SO conspicuously
entered the lists as the champion OF
farmers in their struggles against
the monopolists and capitalists OF
the state and country.

afeared of the Governor, if he is not
afraid of us! A private letter tells
us that we were invited to address

Farmers, take a sledge and go into
the office of that hireling who sucks
the paw OF the party plutocrat, and
tell him that the difference in the
price of wheat between the farm and

freight from Duluth to Liverpool is
only 13c. If he can't understand
that point, use your sledge to adj
