Petitions have been circulated
throughout the State asking the
railroads to make an "emergencv
rate on grain. With the Govern
ment owning and operating the rail-
roads OF the county there would be
no need of begging for emergency
rates-the regular rates would be SO
low that even a railroad emergency
rate would be a mountain in COM
parison. If the Farmers Alliance of
the country will move in a solid COL
umn on Congress in favor of the gov
eminent buying-up and operating
the railroads, it will accomplish
much more for struggling humanity
than by begging the railroad million
aires for crumbs. When they allow
Jim Grow newspapers to induce them
to petition and beg for what, in JUS
tice, they have right to demand.
they humiliate themselves in the OK.

an emergency rate-it wants PERFECT

that there are two or three thousand

quainted with farm implements and

that JOS. keenan, never was apno;nt

RESOLUTION PASSED A YEAR AGO
JAN. 25, 1889.
WHEREAS, A bill for an act to pro-
vide additional compensation for
the Deputy County Treasurer of Rem
vile County has recently passed the
House of Representatives of the Min
nesota Legislature, and
WHEREAS, We as the taxpayers
and farmers OF this county feel that
our taxes are already higher than
any existing necessity demands:
THEREFORE,, RESOLVED, That we,
the members of Union Alliance, No.
488, earnestly protest against the
passage OF said bill or OF any act in
creasing the compensation of the
County Treasurer, or his Deputy,
above that now prescribed by exist
ing statutes.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary be
instructed to send a copy of these
resolutions to Senator D. S. Hall.
The above were passed unanimo usly
by Union Alliance at Bird Island,
Jan. 25, 1889, and copy sent at
once to Hon. D. s. Hall, who replied

My DEAR SIR: Yours in relation to
Co. Treasurer's compensation reed.
In reply will say that l talked with
the Co. Commissioners, some of them
and others who seem to think the Co.
Treasurer ought to have some clerk
hire. The amount will not be much
felt and the Co. Treasurer has to give
heavy bonds, with not very large
pay. However, l always ask advice
of my friends, and have done SO in
this case. Thus far most seem to
think it all right. May know more
later. Yours, D. S. HALL.

Nevertheless the bill passed, and is
now in force in the county.

hope that the pot-house politicians will be COM
PEELED to take back seats as he has the interests
OF the farmers at heart and is opposed to run

game did not work.
Now, Blaisdell, don't you believe in a fair
shake all around? What you say OF Mr.. Hall is
true-but he elected by the rally OF the entire

Donnelly who gave the keynote against these
politicians when he proclaimed, on the first day,
that the alliance should be kite-tail to neither

Scheffer and Geo. W. Sprague, with three Others
were closeted in the capitol. There was not q

was satisfactory to us-at the last m oment the

Why does the American manufac-
turer need protection in his "home
market" when he does not need any
protection in his foreign market?
Our protected mills export their pro-
ducts to foreign countries and sell
their products in foreign countries,
in open competition with foreign
manufacturers and under their very
noses. They do this and ''pay the
freight" but demand "protection"
when they sell it in home markets to
their countrymen. Protection from
whom and what? From the Ameri-
can farmer, Of course, and from the
foreign products he receives in pay
ment for his surplus.-LeSueur Sen

They advocated the forming of lad
les auxiliary societies or even admit
ting them directly to the Alliance
and why not? The plan has long
been tried among the women wage
workers OF the cities, and with good
results. In industrial organizations
women have proven themselves the
equal OF men in every respect. Won.
EN- in the cities have thus been able
! to materially better their condition,
and to take advantage of many
social opportunities otherwise lost
to them.
Why may not women have a good
influence in alliance meetings? True
they WELD no political influence
not yet-except that of persuasion
so they are not to be feared in that
respect. The alliance must furnish
education and social recreation if il
would satisfy the needs OF people, an6

Peculiar Experience OF an American Lady

The natives In the East who have be-

customs take very readily TO the custom
Of calling-and eating-on New Years
day, and one lady had very peculiar ex.
perience with native official in Seoul
last year.
She was keeping "open house," and
had made some preparation for receiv-
ing her guests in the proper manner.
Among other things, she had prepared
with her own hands very excellent
cake, which she expected 10 distribute in
little bits to all who might favor her

men arrived, and. having given one OF
them cup Of tea, she placed this fine
cnke before him with an invitation 10
help himself. She then went with the
others 10 another room. and was gone
Gpme time. When she returned she saw
60 her horror that her beautiful cake
had all but disappeared down the throat
Of the poor fellow, who had tried his
best TO do the polite thing according TO
his country's customs-and not leave
any Of the food set before him, thus
showing his appreciation Of the hosts
table and hospitality. The lady's vexa-
ton was vanished by feeling Of COM
fpiseration for the miserable man, who
feemed to be very much in need Of an
ametic Just then. It's said this call was
his FIRST and last on that day, as he de-
dared to friend that foreigners must
be all stomach n they could 60 from

How an Oshitosh (Nris.j lI'ser Rewarded

There is miscriy old lady living n
Oshkosh, says the Times OF that city,
who, 1t is believed, judging from cir
cumstanceg, has chests and chests OF
gold sccreted In her house somewhere.
She is 30 penurious aad hates to part
with her money So bad, that when she
Is compelled from absolute necessity to
huy the neccssaries OF life she walks to
the store farthest from her house 80
that she can keep in her possession the
morSy that must be spcnt for food q
little longer, and pays for her purchase
with moro reluctance than Isaac OF
York could command while parting
With his gold.
1t is told OF this old lady that one
day, while counting over some money,
Gte-cent piece dropped in q big wood
6px filed with wood, shavings, etc. She
sAarched for an hour in vain, and was
a5most distracted by the loss, when
bright thought struck her. She would
have couple OF little boys, who were
piaying near the house, seek 1t. Ac-
cbrdingly she called them in and told
fbem that IL they would find the money
which had dropped in the wood-box she
would give them each cent. The
youngsters, eager to earn the price Of
stick Of candy, went willingly to work,
epd after hunting for about two hours
gave q howl OF delight when they dis
covered the missing coin.
The old woman eagerly snatched 1t
from them and, after carefully deposit
ing it in her pocket-book, called them
dear little children and said they well
earned their reward. She then went
into another room, brought out a
bottle that had once been filed with
perfume, and gave each one of the boys
a scent of the lingering odor, after
which she called them dear little dar-
llngs again and told them to run away
now and play. The little fellows wero
SO overwhelmed with gratitude at the
old lady's muni6conce that they kindly
thanked her In their abstraction.
