THE new two cent postage stamp
has made its appearance. Il is
somewhat smaller than the old green
stamp, but very little handsomer.
1t is what is technically termed "a
brilliant carmine' in color, but is in
reality rather an ugly shade of red.
The bright brown stamp of some five

test stamp the Government has ever

IT DELIGHTS our heart to see how
the Nashville American takes the
wind out of the sails of Republican
traducers of the South. Its COM
ments on Reeds letter, Thurston's
speech, and several other such pro-
auctions of late, are the NEST forcible
and pointed expressions we have seen
from any paper. Whenever a Re-
publican hater of the South makes a
particularly prominent and public
fool of himself (Which happens some
where in the United States nearly
every day., the American knocks
him silly with unanswerable logic.
The South has submitted to splenetic
abuse from narrow minded Republic
can politicians of the North long
enough, and it is quite refreshing to
have some of them exposed and
shown up in their true colors Occas-
ionally, as the American does. The
same boldness of expression from
other Southern newspapers would
make a decided improvement in their
tone i . t

THE National Convention of Re-
publican Leagues has been in session
at Nashville this week. The usual
amount of bigotry and ignorance re-
garding the South and Southern peo-
pie has been displayed in the
speeches made by a majority of the
Northern member. The Southern
people are growing familiar with the
vaporings of these fellows, however,
and are no longer disturbed by them.

The calls for DR.. Fish to go out in
to the State to lecture have hereto
fore been twice as many as he could
fill-the duties of his office keeping
him here every day except Fridays
and Saturdays. Feeling, however,
that his talk upon the wheat traffic
and upon the bonding system (stock
market) should be heard by every
alliance, we have put a competent
foreman in the office who will release
the DR.. for outside work. He will
therefore keep in the field almost con-
tinuously. It will be necessary to
raise his r. r. expense money and
IS. 90 for each day. Do not depend
upon collections alone for this, as
the DR.. has rarely received the
amount, and of course lost money
every time. Get sure thing on the
expenses first. His engagements
ahead at present are, Wheaton,

the county seat of Watonwan coun-

hundred gathered at the courthouse,
and we had q talk on financial ques-
tions. Adjourning for dinner, at
100 sharp we entered upon gener-
al review of the situation, with over
two hundred in the room. At 3:45
additions to the alliance were called
for, and thirty-two joined. Then the
warehouse matter was taken up, and
before six o'clock an Elevator Com
pany" was organized. Nearly $4OC
was subscribed on the spot, and
committees appointed for each town
ship, to raise $4,000. On the whole
it was a big day.

Two OF our correspondents, this
week, in extremely important letters,
refer to Liverpool as the command
ing market centre, on grain, OF the
world. We think this a serious err
ror. All changes in grain prices
come from America-from across
Jackson Street, opposite the Grand
Pacific Hotel, Chicago. We believe
this fact is indisputable. The English
miller pays what Chicago charges al
ways-and is to-day paying 20 to

We have received a savage letter
from wheat buyer, which gives us a
fierce criticism for stating that the
Liverpool dispatches were frauds,
and that our wheat was worth more
than quoted.
Well, let us see-some friend has
just sent us the following clipping
from the Chicago Tribune. See if
this looks in any wise like sustaining
our statement:
"It has often been limited that the
official quotations of the English
markets are seldom true opponents
of real conditions. Occasionally they
are found to be positively mislead-
ing, and there is reason to believe
they are always so whenever any i'm
portant price changes occur there.
Such seems to be the case now.
Therapeutics there have sent stere-
'otyped figures nearly all through
the excitement of the last few days,
which have carried prices up fully 10
cents in this city. The nominal diff
ference became so great that two or
three men in this part of the world
cabled orders to buy wheat in Liver
pool, and allowed a reasonable lee
way over the official figures. The
only replies they received were to the
effect that no wheat is on sale Some
private cables have intimated that
actual prices in that town are equal
to about three cents per bushel
above the figures named by Beer.
bohm and probably they are correct
The only wonder is that the mis-
called information sent to this con
tinent by that gentleman shoulG
have been so long thought worth the
cost of sending by cable!
1t is not yet forgotten that few
years ago he wrote letter to al
American official which admitted tn,
charges here made"

who makes up the English Gable re

An Exanple Of What IN Allia1ce
can Do.

003 A0Oo
At Grand Meadow, Mower Co., is
an alliance which has been in ex-
istence for several years. It is COM
POSED OF thoughtful farmers who
look at the robberies perpetrated
against the producer in a practical
manner. It was the Grand Meadow
Alliance which interviewed the Al
liances throughout the state to the
formation of the Farm and Labor
party, which nominated Ignatius
Donnelly for Governor, in 1888.
This alliance had passed through
all the tribulations in regard to ship
ping grain that other farmers ex-
perienced. and it finally resolved to
move forward in the line of independ-
ence.
They raised a stock company, and
contributed only $85-$5 shares
They rented a grainhouse 6Ox3O
feet, put in q hand mill, and secured
Mr.. Paddock to Operate. They
then fixed tho following schedule Of
chargss:
Wheat, 1c.
Timothy and clover, 1Hc.
Barley, 1c.
Oats, Hc.
Flax, 1Kc.
Their charge included use of ware
house, scales, tools, salary of Mr..
Paddock, etc., etc. The warehouse
man cared for the property, loaded,
and acted as agent, transacting the
business and making returns.
The cleanings or screenings were
taken by the farmers, and often
ground up for feed and taken home.
The screenings usually paid for
cleaning generally more than paid
for it.
The result was very satisfactory.
On one car load OF seeds they cleared
1927 above the highest offers at the
elevators, and we saw four or five
there, three of them in full blast.
Mower County is not a wheat coun-
ty now, but these farmers shipped
from 10000 to $4,000 bushels OF
grain and seeds last season.
How did they come out? Mr..
Pillsbury should read this, because
it
HITS HIS FIVE CENTS VERY HARD.
They only had $85 invested, but
they paid all expenses including
rent, carried $4,000 insurance, paid
back all the stockholders their in
vestment, and declared a
| FIFTY PER CENT DIVIDEND!
They have now enlarged their COM
pany and bought a warehouse.
This is but one instance. We
know of a wheat house in Dakota,
which cost $2,7OO-which cleared a
net of 81, 900 in one year, on lie. a
bushel for wheat-The fact is these
plutes want the whole earth, and il
they can't have that they will take
all they can get!
