The Dispatch recently had the fol-

The Dispatch recently had the fol
lowing somewhat humorous CON-
parisOn between the eminent Railway
President, Depew, who has been doc
tored with an LID, and our Gig
natius." 1t is little realized by our
farmer friends that their champion
in Minnesota is one whose intellectual
labors have carried his name into
every civilized nation on the earth:
'The editors of Minnesota held their
annual meeting and banquet at St..
Paul last week. They did not have
Chauncey NJ. Depew, but they had
their own Ignatius Donnelly, ''the
Sage of Nininger, the authorof "The
Great Cryptogram," etc., and, how
ever skeptical some may he about his
wisdom, all agree that he never fails
in making fun.-American Advertiser
Reporter.
Of course our Ignatius is not presi-
dent of the New York Central & Hud-
son River or of any other railroad
company, and is not, therefore, to be
regarded as ''biger man" than old
Chauncey; but when it comes to
giving pointers to the world on the
able administration of railroads the
Sage of Nininger is not called upon
to take off his hat to any railroad
president living Hour contemporary
has any lingering doubt as to the
relative merits of DR.. Depew and Mr..
Donnelly as postrprandial orators
and humorists, it should take the
necessary steps to have the extremi-
ties of both great men extend them
selves beneath the same mahogany.
While Donnelly, SO far as we know,
has not yet succeeded in winning the
humorous prefix OF CDR, there are a
great many people living hereabouts
who believe him to have even a higher
title to the designation than the
New York humorist."

1t was the New York Financier that
first suggested the matchmaking of
the wagon roads. Bro. Hynes must
recognize the fact that sometimes
good things come out of Sodom.
The Financier is one of the Eastern

more currency. Now most people
realize that, and also are aware that
no money can get to the people ex-
cept in payment OF accounts, and
that our roads are a disgrace to the

taken. 1t represents every alliance

ship so far as possible, and it is
backed by capital of 100000.
Where there are mutual local COM
panies it will not interfere with
them. You would not expect Ma
sonic, A. O. U. W., Knights Of Honor,
Odd Fellows, K. P, or any other
bodies in the great organizations, to
go to other Insurance Companies
when they had companies of their
own. Do not let other stock COM
panies put in Farmers Depart
ments,' with $4,000 a year officials
from your ranks to draw you from
your own institutions after they
have been organized with almost in
surmountable difficulties. Stand by
your alliance.

In relation to the subtreasury plan
presented by Mr.. Wardall at the
State alliance, we take the following
from the Economist"
In December, 1S48, the London
Times announced the inevitable fail
ure of the French republic and disin-
tegration of French society in the
near future, but so wise was the
administration of the statesmen of
that nation that two months later it
was forced to eat it's own words
saying in it's columns February 16,
1919: GAS mere commercial spec
ulation with the assets which the
bank held in hand it might then have
stopped payment and liquidated it's
affairs with every probability that a
very few weeks would enable it to
clear off it's liabilities. But this idea
was not for a moment entertained by
M. D'Argout, and he resolved to
make every effort to keep alive what
may be termed. the circulation of the
blood of the community. The
task was overwhelming. Money was
not to be found to meet not only the
demands on the bank, but the neces-
stiles both public and private, ofevery
rank in society. it was essential to
enable the manufacturers to work,
lest their workman, driven to des-
peration, should fling themselves
amongst the violent enemies of pub
lie order. 1t was essential to provide
money for the food Of Paris, the pay
of the troops, and for the daily sup
port of the industrial establishments
OF the nation. A failure of any one
point would have led to a fresh con-
vulsion, but the panic had been fol-
lowed by so great a scarcity OF the
metallic currency, that few days
later, out of a payment Of 26, 900, 900
fallen due, only $4,000 francs could
be recorded in silver.
In this extremity, when the banks
alone retained any available sums of
money, the government came to the
rescue, and on the night of the 18th
of March, the notes Of the bank were,
by decree. made a legal tender, the
issue of these notes being limited in

The Secretary.

SOOtOtdty
We are called upon to give the his
tory of the campaign for secretary
at the State Meeting-to correct
some mistaken ideas that were
afOat.
Up to the dinner hour Immediately
after the election of Mr.. Hall az
President, no name had been sug.
gested for secretary against the
Scheffer Insurance ring-so far as
Mr.. Donnelly's friends were aware.
The editor of this paper had his at
tention called to the peculiar fitness
of Mr.. John Lathrop, OF Lac qui Parle
county, and undertook to prepare
ballots. At the same time Mr.. R.
Eckford, Of Mower County, was in
vited to become a candidate. Just
before going to the hotel for dinner
a delegation asked Mr.. Donnelly if he
would nominate DR.. Fish for score
tary. Mr.. Donnelly said with en-
thusiasm that he would do so-that
the paper would be a great help as it
was already in correspondence with
every alliance, notices could be pub
lished and postage and printing to a
large amount saved; financial &C
counts and records of new alliances
published; letter-press OF all letters
preserved etc., etc. We yielded TAT
once"-of course. There was one
hour exactly in which to get tickets
printed and make preparations for
canvass. From the receipt of the
tickets to roll call there was just a
halfhour.
In regard to the election: 1t was
provided, that if any difficulty arose,
Mr.. Lathrop was to be put forward
at once, as before suggested. On the
second ballot DR.. Fish had 143, Mr..
Haigh had 1876 and scattering
seven. This latter item was very
nearly a fraud. Every teller and
the Secretary belonged to the
Sprague faction, and Mr.. John Dia-
mond and Mr.. Bodkin passed five
ballots for Mr.. Hall. the President,
printed ballots. on four of which it
read (printed and unerased):
FOR PRESIDENT
r. J. HALL.
Of course these were dead ballots
and should have been thrown out.
How John Diamond and Mr.. Bodkin
could pass such ballots as that is al
most beyond the possibilities OF hon
est intention. At the same time it is
exceedingly difficult to believe that
any man voted for the just elected
President for Secretary-and left the
presidential ballot unchanged!l
The placing of Mr.. Lathrop in the
Secretaryship was q move Of those
who simply desired good and cap
able Secretary in place OF the thor
oughly unsatisfactory secretary Of
the past year. To have brought it
to the office of the GREAT WEST
with all it's advantages to the ALI
ance, would have required upon our
part the employment of special
corresponding clerk for our own
business.

all to $50, ZOO, 900, but the amount
OF the lowest of them reduced for the
public convenience to 100 francs.
One of the great difficulties mention
ed IN the report was to print these
lOOiranc notes fast enough for the
puDhc consumption. In ten DAYS
the amount issued in this form had
reached 10000, 900 francs.
To enable the manufacturing
agents to weather the storm at q
moment when allsales were interrupt-
ed, q decree of the national assembly
had directed warehouses to be omen.
ed for the reception of all kinds If
goods, and provided that the regis
tered invoice of these goods so
Deposited should be made negotiable
by endorsement. The bank of France
discounted these receipts. In Havre
alone eighteen millions were thus ad-
vanced on colonial produce, and in
Paris fourteen millions on merchan-
disc; in all sixty millions were made
available for the purpose of trade.
Thus, the great institution had plac-
ed itself as it were in direct contact
with every vital interest of the COM
munity from the Minister of the
Treasury down to the trader in a.
distant port. Like a hugh hydraulic
machine, it employed it's colossal
powers to pump fresh stream into
the exhausted arteries of trade to
sustain credit, and preserve the cir
culatlon from complete collapse.
From the Bank Charter Act, and
the rate of interest, London, 1873.
This is proof positive, and a clear
demonstration, in 1S48, what this
system could accomplish when a
necessity existed for resorting to it.
But since that time every conceive
able change has tended toward rem
dering such system easier manag-
ed and more necessary. The various
means OF rapid transportation and
the facilities for the instantaneous
transmission OF intelligence, make it
no disadvantage for the produce of
a county to be stored at home until
demanded for consumption, and the
great savings that will follow the
abolition of local shipments shows
what great economy such a system
is. In this day and time, no one will
Tor a moment deny that all the con-
dltlons for purchase and sale will at
tach to the government certificates
showing amount, quality and running
charges that attach to the products.
The arguments sustaining this sys-
tenn will present themselves to your
minds as you ponder over the sub
ject. The one fact stands out in bold
relief, prominent, and worthy the
best effort OF our hearts and hands.
and that is, ''this system will eman-
ipateproductive labor from the pow
er Of money to oppress' with speed
and certainty. Could any object be
more worthy? Surely not; and none
could be devised that would more en-
list your sympathies.-National
Economist.

There were four such introduced.

for nothing. The G. w. goes from

One of the cardinal principles of al
