DOC, BE OF GOOD CHEERw
The Farmers are With You Every
Day in the Week.

The following short letter is
among the priceless evidences, that
are coming in upon us, that when
the G. W. took it's most anxious
course against corruption, it did
right. We feel the great heart of hui
mainly throbbing painfully in the
sorest trial it has ever had. But the
sky is no longer dark and lowering.
This year may be full of fretful strug-
gles-but the future will demonstrate
that the path of honor is the better
way. AS to the Industrial Union
title assumed by the Sprague gang
it is wicked and fraudulent use of
the title:
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Chow is this? When did the Ali
ance join the Industrial Union ?"
Sprague and Co., 1 suppose have re-
pented and gone into the fold Great
Joy over the repentant sinners re-
turn! | suppose, we will have to kill
the fatted OK and hand them a we'll
filled purse. l suppose they can use
our money as we'll as our great secre-
tary! How is it? Do you think we
can trust them with few coppers
But why does he want it at the Mer-
chants? Suppose he wants enough
to get home to Lake Benton on; and
then we will have to send another re-
mittance to carry him back to the
Merchants, and so keep him going
between the Merchants and Lake
Benton. Doc, be OF good cheer! The
farmers are with you! We repudiate
the silly, filthy go operator. Yours
fraternally, JIM. Brown.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
I send this report OF our Alliance, as
per request, and hope you can get
the Finances Strengthened out-if the
Sec'y wont do it. Why in "Hades"
don't the Ex-Com. kick him out and
put some one there to keep a record
of our order, It's enough to make
alliance members blush to have each
and every Sec'y a defaulter, and
such stool pigeon for a President.

Donnelly can feel proud to be
snarled at by such ours. Had it not
been for his work in this part OF the
state, ably seconded by the GREAT
WEST, there would have been no ALI
ance, and as the main pillar of the
order, without him to lead we go to
pieces. | am yours, IRA NJ. CADY,

one on Legislation for farmers" by
Hon. Josiah Wheeler, of Kansas, in
which he took the ground that the
farmers we're getting a fair share of
attention, and one by Alonzo War
dali, of South Dakota, who insisted
that the farmers interests were being
sacrificed, and urged the farmers to
wake up and take hand in public
affairs themselves, alleging that con-
gress was made up mainly of lawyers
and bankers who necessarily gave
us class legislation as any legisla-
ture composed mainly of one or two
classes would necessarily do. This
created some warm discussion,
though all admitted the advisability
of farmers electing their own to con-
gress if they expected recognition.
The members of the congress were
rendered, and most of them accepted,
an invitation to take a trip to Dem
yer and the mountains, free, which
will doubtless be very enjoyable, but
other duties interfered with my &C
eompanying them.
The fact of the railroads rendering
j free excursion is good evidence of
the political character of the meet
ing. A purely farmers gathering sell
dom receives such attentions from
the railroads.

The Granite Cutter. Strike.

The strike of sharpeners at Barre has
been settled by giving the men nine hours
work in five days, with eight on Saturday,
and pay on a basis of 29t cents an hour,
each man TO sharpen for gangs of 10 cut
tiers, and to receive the same pay whether
the gang is complete or not. The quarry
men are still on a strike, demanding the
same hours that the other granite workers
have and 50 a day and upward. Some
quarrymen now receive no more than 81 %
a day, aud it is not thought that the manu-
facturers will give the price demanded
The cutters and sharpeners at Montpelier
have come to an agreement with the manu-
facturers by which the schedules adopted
at Barre are accepted. Many of the poor
er workmen at the Montpelier shops have
been refused work since the strike ended.

A FALSE REpoRT.-Walker Lake
Bulletin; Some of our exchanges
are circulating the report that zoe
extrA men will be put to work al
Candelaria this month. This is a
mistake. There are a great many
idle men in Candelaria now. Out
siders will do well to stay away
until they are sent for. Candelar-
ia will be a good town, but do not
make a condition of affairs there
like Virginia, where 1000 working
men are Obliged to support 1000
idle men and their families.
There is a real distress in Virgin
la, Don't inflict a like distress
upon Candelaria just as brighter
days are in view.

Stewart Against the Window
BILL

WAsHINGToy, May 2l.-Stewart
argued against the decentralization
OF silver. The Republican party
in its platform favored both gold
and silver. The bill advocated by
the Secretely of the Treasury, and
supported by Senators Sherman
and Dolph was Il cunning device
to stop the present coinage Of sill
yer and was mistake. 1t means
that the Republican party was in
favor Of silver money at the mar
ket price Of silver. Stewart said
that was mere bubble.
Wilson and FarweIl gave notice
of amendments to the silver bill,
and the bill in relation to liquor
iuto prohibitory States
was again taken up. EvaIts fav
ored and Hancock opposed the
bill. Tie bill was laid aside with
out action. The Senate then went
into executive session and ad-
iourned.

QUEsTIoN.-A man is in need OF
money. His wife is a prima dom
ma. Can he raise money on her
notes.? If you would never be in
need Of money, trade with Olco-
vich Bros. The store contains
dry goods, groceries, boots and
shoes, carpets, etc. in all the var
iety possible. Their prices will
please you. The quality of the
goods they handle is the best the
market affords. Pigs and facts are
stubborn things. These are facts!
We are like the tree that coveres
with flowers the hand that shakes
it.
Yours Truly.
