"The current price of wheat and
cotton are at all times based upon
the price of products in Liverpool
and London. All modern economists
agree that the amount exported reg
ulates the price of the whole product.
They tersely put it that what runs
over the bucket regulates the price of
all that is within it,"
This is taken from Cooks Crooks
ton Journal, and we are all curled up
in a twist to think that H. E. should
make such statement. The Ameri-
can wheat market has never tagged
the Liverpool market. The English
market moves slowly, sluggishly, al
ways tagging Chicago-unwillingly
and with a grunt. We state from
actual knowledge that the above is
he'truth, and can show up the quo
tations to back it up. The export
control has been a bugbear to keep
the farmers tame.

Hon. d. s. Hall and every Repub-
lican member of Congress but three,
voted to reduce the tariff to $14 a
ton, and the reduction was accom-
plished. Every Democrat in both
houses OF Congress voted to keep the
tariff OF $50 a ton on binding Irvine,
and both iamble, and O. NJ. Hall,
the candidates of the Alliance and
Democracy. say that had they been
in Congress they would have voted
just as the Democrats did!-I.or-
raine's Renville Union.
Lorraine will probably never speak
the truth again. 1t has been years
since he has even made the effort.
The above is lie.
On the vote to put Irvine on the
free list seventeen republicans voted
against it-and only fifteen voted for
it Every democrat but two voted
for it.
The above vote was to replace the
free-list provision for a seven-mills
tax. Every democrat voted against
1T. The tax was $50 a ton-the
original new measure contemplated
Tree Irvine. The substitute was for
seven mills-the democrats voted
against the substitute, and so would
any other honest man from Minneso-
ia. The seven-mill tax would
mount to $2.326 on just what Irvine
the G. W. sold this summer.

1t seems now that the editor of the

some way connected with it for a

per and Olson were rank supporters

The following, from the Mankato
journal, IS full of truth. The only
expression we find any fault with is
that regarding exposure of fraud
during the voyage" If not exposed
during the voyage we fear the sailors
will trouble themselves little about
the matter The time to expose
party frauds is when elections are on.
For instance if the GREAT WEST had
not exposed Lathrop he wouldn' t
have had the gold watch:
"The Journal believes that there are
lot of old barnacles on the Alliance
ship that should be cleaned off. It
does not believe, however, that any
particular effort should be made dur
ing the voyage, but when this trip is
completed say about the December
meeting Of the State Alliance, then
would be the proper time to COM
mence the scraping business. There
is no use to mention names, but the
mass of alliance members know
their men" who have no apparent in
terest in the cause or principles of
the farmers alliance, their only OBJ
ject seeming to he. to use their con-
nectiOn with alliance to make mon
ey. or in some way use it as a person
al stepping stone to something bet
ter. The Journal is in hearty accord
with the alliance principles. and is
only willing, SO far as we ale concern
ed, to build up the great order for
the good it may do the community
at large.
Here is something for our friends
to think about, and we certainly
hope that in December the ALI,
ance of this state shall be placed un-
der different and far better manage
ment-a management too that will
not reward an officer, guilty Of NAL
feasance in office, with handsome
gold watch!

The Northwestern Labor Union,

The Labor Union says: The &C.
ton OF the Secretary and chairman

tempting to force Bierman, the

OF political folly ever committed by
any man or men in Minnesota. Mr..

This underhanded scheme will

St. James journal: Eric Olson of
Martin County is going to lecture to
the farmers of Watonwan County
next month in the interests of the Al
lance. The thing for Eric to do is to
go back to his farm and help his wife
dig the ''taters" and shuck the corn.
But it has been so long since Eric
has done any farm work that he has
probably forgotten how.
It is rarely indeed that this paper
endorses party sheet-but this
compels our respect. When Eric Oh
son lives with his hard working in
dustrious wife, and helps her manage
the farm, which he has not lived on
fol years; when he pays ten per cent
on his debts; when he returns certain
loans; VIXEN he pays that poor St.
Paul widow women some OF that
$4OO; when he accounts for the char
ter-fees he has taken; then he may
humbly walk in the rear rank of an
outraged alliance. It will require
years of sulphurous expiration to rem
der him fit for State Committee
