EDITOR GREAT West:
DEAR FRfENDs.-I herewith hand
you three dollars for three new SUBJ
scribers to the GREAT WEST for one
year. Send the papers to John Phe-
Ian, Michael Peyton and Thomas
Peyton, all at Wheaton P. o.
l will have more subscribers soon.
You are doing great work and the
common people are well pleased with
the paper. There islots of complaint
against you, but I think it helps
more than it hurts. Among the
worst papers that have seen is the
Alliance" of Elbow Lake.. / have
been taking the paper since itstarted
but will write them today not to-
send it to me again. We held quite
an interesting meeting last Saturday
evening and elected delegate and
alternate to the State Meeting with
instructions to use all honorable
means to secure the election of Hon.
l. Donnelly for President. The meet
ing closed with three rousing cheers
for Donnelly. GEORGE MACK1N,

EDITOR GREAT West:
Isuppose my subscription on the
GREAT WEST is out and has been for
some time. Herewith l will renew
for the next year. Let me say every
copy of the GREAT WEST stands at
the front, and it is the perfection OF
teaching which the people need. It
is by the urging of the GREAT WEST
that the farmers have got thus far.
The conservative" or slow-going,
Sprague faction part of the Alliance
are only trying to cool down the
movement of the farmers; and they
have been successful in many parts
of the state. After having been in
close connection with the Farmers
Alliance since it started in this state,
will declare if it had not been for
the active and radical work of Igna-
titus Donne1V and the GREAT WEST
the Alliance would have been, today,
dead and fiat in this state.
/ would like very much to see Mr..
Donnelly elected president of the ALI
ance for the next term, and by that
the drawback faction part of the
Alliance would be out Of gear for q
while. Yours for the right.

Our friend Hosmer, OF Adrian, asks
us as to the proprriety of having a
bill drawn up on the plan OF Kellogg's
Monetary System and presented to
Congress. he says:
There is no doubt that attempts
would be made to smother it. If so,
after a reasonable length Of time,
draw up other papers in the form of
demands to have that bill taken up
and passed. Also, that it shall not
be so mutilated as to be good for
nothing.
There will necessarily be some ex-
pense in getting up the papers, and /
am willing to contribute toward de-
fraying the expense. am sure there
are thousands who voted with the
old parties who would sign that petit
ton. There seems to be an idea
among politicians that our last cam
paign was nothing but child's play,
and that the people will go right to
sleep again, and they can go on
fleeing them as before. My observa-
ton is that they are still awake, and
terribly in earnest. The war has just
begun. I like the style Of the G. W.
in double Shooting it's guns after cleo
ton. That is when the shot will tell.
Men will believe after election what
they would not believe before.
/ shall be glad to see the GREAT
West come out i'm German, and will
double the price Of my subscription
to help it along; l am q poor man
but will go farther and sayI win give
