The plutocrat tells us that we
must have capital. Well, when a
plutocrat thinks he must have it, and
hasn't got it, he goes to work to
manufacture it out OF paper. He
calls it stock, and he buys it with
bonds; and then the innocent lambs
on the farms shear their golden
feeces in vain-for the farmer shears
and the plute takes the wool!

The daily papers now state that
Mr.. Donnelly secured the withdrawal
of Mr.. Rahilly. So far from this be
ing true, Mr.. Donnelly labored earn

The cause of the withdrawal is the

and to the wheat ring.

the business interests of the GREAT

ers of Minnesota that this office is
still marching on at the head OF all
the labor organs in the west. 1t has
received new subscribers every day
since January 1st. It's list is now
growing at the rate of an average of

Thos. c. Hodgson, the "Alliance
man" who went to Montana with 90
million-dollar-Jim-Hill in his private
palace, quoted five or six statements
from the GREAT WEST into the Daily
Traitor, and called them lies. We
reiterate thus
HAL did disgorge $65 which he
had illegally taken from the Alliance
treasury. He counted out the money
in the presence of the Executive Com
mittee, and paid it over.
2.-Hall did go on another Irvine
junket.
3.-Mr. Lathrop had not made
good his $112-and more than that
he never did. 1t was made up bv
those who had used the poor weak
ling.
1.-Two OF the campaign commit
tee were tipping tight in Minneapo-
lis, and prominent Alliance men
brought the word to us to publish
the facts. Our regard for that COM
mlttee which is very tender, preven-
ted us from publishing names. But
for the g. cd OF the ticket we would
publish another drunk too!
5.-T.C. Hodgson and Atwood we're
not only Scheffer's agents to break
up the Farm & Labor party of 1888,
and to force Ignatius Donnelly off
the ticket, but they did go to the
Grand Meadow Alliance, which called
the party, and work to that effect.
The proof of this villainy is in the
GREAT WEST Office ready for exam
nation.
6.-Mr. Sprague can consult Brons
Strain about the two carloads of
lumber. Mr.. Scheffer at least takes
the lead on Lathrop, with the F. s.
4 H. a close second. If Scheffer
dosen't lead the Campaign he GER
talnly pays a good salary to the
leaders.
7.-Mr. Donnelly received 80 ma
jority over all competitors in the al
lance convention without the labor
"insert"-in fact he received about
6O!-there being fully 20 duplicated
votes.
