The farmers' alliance denounce trusts,
m%onopolies and like associations in very
bitter terms. This may be right, but they
should themselves remember that they
are in reality organizing a trust. and in
order to hold their own they must do this.

The Farmers alliance of this state is
to-day coming in for it's share OF atten-
ton. While we are no granger and only
indirectly interested in their welfare, we
cannot help but think that every farmer
should be in it. In it not for political

body, demanding the enforcement ofjust

alliances, considering the notice l have
been able to give OF my meetings, writes
II. V. Poore to the Great West. Three
alliances already this week and, had my
uOUlCeS Deeu distributed sooner, would
have organized four with double the
membership. I expect to organize an
alliance to-day at Morton, and one to-
morrow at Beaver Falls. L commence
next Monday at Brookfeld township
and have all the engagements l can
possibly meet next week up till late Sat
urday night. Monday the twenty-fourth
we meet in Bird Island to organize our
county alliance. By that time we will
have at least fourteen alliances repre-
sented. Shall keep right on like the

fog. He found after the fog cleared
away he had shingled some twenty feet
beyond the peak, right onto the fog. l
may keep right on into adjoining

Once again the farmers OF the United
States want a bill introducedin congress,
and some senator does the introduction
act, stating that it is done "byrequest.''
When the farmers get tired Of sending a
lot OF gold mounted hogs to Washington,
they will probably get a bill or two with.
