the fact that the people of Iowa whom

suiierings borne alone by its people

and must import much Of its timber and
lumber for building and other purposes
from Canada, upon which heavy duties
are imposed, Iowa is without iron or
tin, yet heavy duties are paid upon those
articles and their products. Iowa has
ceased to be sheep raising State, and
derives no advantage from protected

doubted whether any step towards tariff

fact the enormous expenditures proposed

lavish expenditures ri the public money
than in considering the Wants or the sut-
'rrings of the people. hut the time il
coming rapidly when the people must be
heard aud obcycd, The contract OF con-
ditiOns between colossal fortunes and
more widely dilluscd poverty, between
the enormous revenues derived from pro-

turns from the unrcwardcd and over

Therefore the notes sounded by Mr.
Cleveland will continue to ring i'll the

The following is taken from the

tional Farmers Alliance and Indus

and Laborers' Alliance of Kansas.
sends the following characteristic
communication which every member
Of the Alliance Mott tn and South can
read with profit, and no doubt with
qualification:
"The long looked for time has come
and gone. Our Bro. L. L. Polk has
been to sunny Kansas, and we have
met him face to face, and 1--WE are
his" He captured us by that great
heart of his. The last vestige OF sec
tional hate is blotted out. The
white rose of peace is blooming as it
never did before. Such crowds; such
hearty greetings. Bro. Polk won the

at Columbus the crowds were only
equaled by the honest, patriotic en-
thusiasm.
Now see how our President and
Secretary, Hall and Lathrop, treat
President Polk, with his three million
of organized toilers back Of him:
Henry Plowman drove so miles to
meet him at Fergus Falls, the place
appointed for him to speak on July
12th-having but one day for a
state. Mr.. Plowman found him alone
in city hotel-not a soul around
him. No notice in the papers. No
state officers. No meeting. The
whole thing was taken out of the
hands OF the GREAT WEST by the
political end of the Executive Com
mittee-and this is tho result. It
was a national insult That day
Hall and Lathrop were dining with

Iowa Tribune

Iowa Tribune:
A Dispatch from St. Paul, Mime
sofa, to the st. Louis Post Dispatch
contains the statement that a meet
ing of the executive committee OF the
State alliance a scheme was considered
for securing large loans from English
syndicate capitalists at low rates OF
interest. The syndicate offered six
per cent, but the alliance wants five
per cent, and gave the syndicate
thirty days to come to that figure.
The Tribune is unconsciously re-
publishing a plutocratic associated
press lie. The scheme was for SA and 8
per cent-and the alliance demanded
X. That it was, instead of six and
five. The plutes want to make it
out to the east that western farmers
get money cheaply. The average is
not under 10 per cent, including com
missions.

Cromwell's Speech.

The evils that the Alliance has to
contend with are nothingnew. They
are deeply ingrained in human ma
ture. Read the following speech of
Oliver Cromwell, when he dissolved
the Long Parliament; and see how it
fits into the present condition of the
Alliance of Minnesota:
cit is high time for me to put an
end to your sitting in this place
which we have dishonored by your
contempt of all virtue and detiled by
your practice of every vice. Ye are a
factitions crew and enemies to all
good government. Ye are a park
OF mercenary wretches. and would,
like Esau, sell your country for a
mess of pottage, and like Judas, be-
tray your God for few pieces of
money. Is there any virtue now re-
naming among you? Is there one
vice We do not possess? Ye have no
more religion than my horse. Gold
is your God. Which Of you have not
bartered away your consciences for
Dr1DeS! is Unere man among you
that hath the least care for the good
of the commonwealth Ye sordid
prostitutes! have we not defiled this
sacred place and turned the Lords
temple into a den of thieves? By
your immoral principles and wicked
practices We are grown intolerably
odious to the whole nation You, who
were deputed here by the people to
get their grievances redressed, are
yourselves become their greatest
grievance. Your country. therefore,
calls upon me to cleanse this Augean
stable Ply putting a final period to
your inquitous proceeding in this
house, and which, by Gods help and
strength he hath given me / am now
come to do. l command you there
fore, upon the peril of your lives, to
depart Immediately out of this place !!
Go! Get you out! make haste !!

away that shining bauble there and
lock up the door.''

The Secretary's Finances.

We have been expecting report
from the Finance Committee of the
State Alliance on the Secretary's ac-
counts. The committee were ordered
to make an examination of La
throp's books on the Oath ult. They
gave him five days in which to make
up his shortages and fill in his &C
counts. We propose to make Rome
howl on this racket. This is the
third secretary who has been derelict
and this time we happen to know
something about it that will be rich
reading for the gang who run the
alliance convention. We understand
that the full report of Lathrop was
to be published in the GREAT WEST.
Nothing less will answer. We hereby
offer to publish the account OF every
alliance in the state-so that every
alliance may know if it is credited,
and if the money is on hand. Lee
turers are c..amorous for their re-
turns, and we know OF some accounts
that are clammer than a clam.
1t is bright idea if the Farmers
Alliance of Minnesota has to be con-
tinually robbed and maltreated by
it's officers, and no one held account
able! What is the reason Haigh was
not held responsible for an account
1t was never rendered. 1t is ou1
opinion that the farmers OF this
state have been supporting gang
about long enough.
In a short time the GREAT WEST
yill ask every alliance in this state
to send us an itemized statement o
every cent sent to the Secretary-ano
also a statement from the organic
..ers. 1t is time to either have the al
lance carried on as business or
ganization, or shut up shop.

Is Your Farm Mortgaged?

Is Your Farm MortgaRed?
Mr.. Farmer, is your farm mort
gaged-and are you liable to be tax
en- sick and die-or be taken from
your family by accident-with that
debt hanging over your wife and
children? Sit right down now,
where you are, fold up this paper,
and think about it. What would be-
come OF them? Where are the friends
in this freezing world who will take
this family OF yours-and care for
them as you have done? Who will
shelter the wife? Who will educate
the children? Do you see the gap
ing doors of the poor house over
yonder? Do you see the earth COW
cred with friends" each struggling
like wild beasts to get the advantage
of the other-so that their wives and
their children may be safe? Do you
see the storm of desolation, poverty,
anguish, suffering and care bearing
down upon your grave-no, not up
on your grave, for there the lilies
may bloom and the frosts may
freeze-but it troubles not the dead ?
These multiple sorrows come like a
troop of evil ones to bear down up
on-your wife and children!
And why? Oh, because in life that
$6 to $40 was more precious than
love and duty to those you have
taken toprotect and care for!
These are the reflections which run
though your mind as you sit ano
think the matter over Thousands
have thought as you do-and so the
world at large have organized soci-
cites to protect the fatherless.
Every class of people agree to stand
by the weak in their own ranks, if
the father and husband will Join for
the same object. So the farmers
have done the same thing. In
classes of a thousand they pay, in
advance, an assessment which gives
a thousand dollars ready for the
first unfortunate family. The ex-
pense of managing the company is
very slight, all fees being paid out OF
the original payment for joining the
company. Also a fund is put by out
of the assessments so that payments
cease after twenty years. The as
sessments are made only in case of
deaths, and then they belong to the
next following death.
The publishers of this paper have
entered earnestly into combining the
farmers thus together. We charge
nothing for our large advertisements
or these editorial articles-nor for
managing this business except a por-
ton of the first payment to provide
for correspondence, blanks, postage
and clerk hire. We look upon this
matter as one OF the great and
grand elements OF progress for the
race-a step towards the golden rule
"a band to bind us closer together.
Farmer friend, look out for that
mortgage-lest after death it prove
demon to destroy your loved ones.
