The recent desperate attempt OF
the thieves to outwit the people OF
Rochester, in this state, has wrought
up a good deal OF feeling in that
place. They voted a large number OF
bonds to the "Rochester & st.
Paul Railway Co." This was to be a
line between Rochester and a point on
the Kansas City line known as
Wasioja. On the bonds there was
to be a condition. If the Northwest
ern road gobbled the smaller road
the bonds were to become void !
They were so ordered to be printed
by the common council. The Mayor
and Recorder thought they were
"bigger men than the voters" and
issued the bonds without the condi-
tion-and there is a row! This is the
way we understand the matter. Lest
it be wrong we will send a gentleman
down to Rochester soon and examine
the situation. 1t really don't seem
possible that people are fools enough
to vote bonds since the recent expos
ures-but they are!

We were told at the immense Alli-
ance gathering at Bird Island last Fri
day that the ridiculous anti-Alliance
articles published simultaneously in
the two papers, at Hector and Bird
Island, were inspired by Congress-
man Hall. This must be mistake.
The GREAT WEST lives in no glass
house and can throw stone by the
cubic yard without danger-and we
do not believe that Hall either wrote
them or inspired them. If a congress
man wrote them he better retire to
the dark Cimmerian gloom of the
Africanista BOOriObObelus and play
"supe" to the cannibals. A parrot
could do better with the lOckjaw.

government to issue money is what?
Solely the public value of it's prop
erty.
Let us see:
Suppose it were a new territory in
which were no mines of gold! Could
it issue no money until it had stolen
it? If we say, it can borrow it,
what would it borrow on? Why on
the property which was productive,
either present or IN FUTURE. But
that presupposes a government
somewhere in which gold is in excess
and if not, if taken from another
government, what takes it's place
there?
We are advancing no new theories
Intentionally
This simply shows that productive
property is the standard. The meas
ure of the exchange due from credit
on such property is governed wholly
by what that property would bring
at immediate forced sale; and "sale'
means, through money, to the pur-
chase of necessities. Or sale may
mean exchange for the necessities
themselves. Therefore we connect
money, or currency, or exchange,
with production in two ways. 1st-
Property is valued as it, produces.

land and it's value is dependent upon
it's power to produce breadstuffs.
The standard of breadstuffs in this
country is a bushel-of money, dol
lar. In England the breadstuff-
standard is a quarter e bushels) and
the money-standard pound. In
India the standard is almost a.
double handful, and money-standard
equally small. Centuries with the

, modified these relations. But that
they justly exist we fully believe. A
government should have money
enough to exchange" Less than
that is a bankers advantage.

"Farners' Alliance Publish

The following is a clipping from
one of our exchanges:
OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Farmers desiring the best agricul-
tural paper in the Northwest should
call at this office and inspect the
Northwestern Agriculturist. This
paper is published by the Farmers
Alliance Publishing, company. and is
just what you want. 1t is a neat
and well written "a page paper and
should be in the hands of every farm
er in the state.''
Now the Northwestern Agricul-
turist is a well-known agricultural
journal OF Minneapolis, which has
been on deck for long time. That
it was a."Farmer's Alliance" journal
we had never heard befOre-but most
certainly we will welcome any boom
that it may make in that direction! )!
But that it is published by "Farm-
ers' Alliance Publishing Co.. is a
dream which floats across the his
tory of that journal like a cream
tinted peach in midwinter! There is
no Farmers Alliance Publishing
COmpany''-and there can be none for
this state-at least not until the
State Alliance Institutes such a
"company!' OF course Jim Hill can
dub his Manitoba the ''Great North
ern Farmers Alliance Jerking-J ack"
if he wants to. And that is all there
is of it. The N. w. Agriculturist

dermine the GREAT WEST? Oh don't.

There probably never has been so
peculiar circumstance in human
history as the quietude Of the great
majority Of the farmers under the
system of robbery and oppression be-
ing perpetrated by capitalized cor
porations and wheat combines.
Thousands and thousands simply
mutter, "Well, what can you do?"
They don't say "What can do?"
It is what can you do? They can, Of
course, do anything they have a
mind to. They can break up the
government if they want to! OF
course they don't want to-don't
anybody want to. But the idea Of
men asking "what can you do,'' and
trying to do nothing. Why, they
could hang some traitors to a lamp
post! Too severe? Not at all.
There were men in that last Legisla-
ture who were traitors to the gov
ernment Any man who buys a
vote is a traitor-a peculiar kind of
a traitor-and should be dealt with
accordingly. If it isn't crime, then
it is legitimate and honorable
that ends the matter for poor people.
The farmers could put a stop to such
legislatures if they want to. Thous-
ands do want to. It's the silent, in
active, "what-can-you-do" farmer
who is dragging down the great pro-
ducers. No such condition has ever
occurred before in history-when men
can, but won't, right their wrongs.

We have no "pass" and our adver-
tising for the r. r. Co. is paid for at
our regular cash rates, in mileage at
the Co.'s cash prices. Any farmer
who so desires can examine our con-

have never yet felt called upon to de-
fend any action of the r. r. Co.,
wherein farmers were adversely al

If Lorraine's advertising is paid for

vertising is ne is the richest man in
Renville County. He has a Pinch ad-
vertisement of the railway and he
gets two thousand miles OF mileage,
which the farmer pays for at &c, a
mile, $3.50. Merchants, do you pay
the same rate? Every editor under
stands that mileage takes the place
of the pass-the state law forbidding
passes.
Dep. State Lecturer Poore told
this agent of the Rothschilds that
the four miles fright of way" on the
Milwaukee road east of Bird Island
cost $50 and a SOC. package of tobac-
co. The guileless political hireling re-
plies:
We fail to see wherein the cost of
the H. & D. right of way affects
farmers here now in any way, but
perhaps we are, as Mr.. Poore recent
ly designated us to a friend-''pretty
near a id fOOl!'
On the latter matter Mr.. Poore is
a man OF the most profound discrim-
ination and exalted Judgment! He
is equalled by many, eXcelled by
nOne-for all agree with him and
none dispute.
But as this editor stated that our
estimate of $1O0 to the mile was a
''lie' perhaps the $50 for four miles
is a 'lyre!' Go to, Nebuchudnezzar,
go to the grass-ield!

The Future Of Labor.

The immediate future of labor is
very gloomy. The past year has SO
depressed agriculture that the farm
ers have little Or nothing to spend at
the stores. Notwithstanding the
statements of the financial journals,
western trade is down-way down,
and the result will depress business
at the jobbing points this spring.
Thus, within a year from this terrible
depression of farm produce, labor
will feel the grip of slight demands,
and the efforts to reduce wages will
capitalists are rolling up their match.

Several citizens living on the line of
the H. & D. line of the c., M. & st. P.
system have united to ask us two
questions:
1st.-Is this line in danger of bank
ruptcy, and if so what would be it's
effect on it's enormous debt of 1SO
millions?
2d.-What is the expense of run
ming the passenger train they have
pulled off the H. & D. line?
To the first question we offer no
direct answer. We know nothing
about the secret moves of this line
which has a larger debt than many
an empire could stand. Either it is
afraid of failure to meet the obliga-
tions of it's water-bOnds, or of pass
ing a dividend-Or else it is managed
by narrow-minded littleness which
will break up anything. The effect
of bankruptcy, if genuine, would be
immensely beneficial. A hundred
millions of paper drawing wheat
from farms would perish at breath.
This paper is nothing, represents
nothing-but it draws interest. But
a bankruptcy which merely froze out
the small fry and enriched the
"wreckers," would be Of no use to
the country.
| 2d.-The expense of running a train
of two coaches and baggage, with
30-ton locomo tive on the H. 4 D.
line would be very close to Csc. a
mile. To say that the express bust
ness, mail business, and passenger
traffic would not yield this much is
too ridiculous for moments consid.

What God wants is brave men.
We always thought He would let a
wicked man down easy-like if he
stood up to his tasks with a
manly heroism. God hates cow
ard. He loathes man-afraid-
conscience. But he has more sub
lime detestation for a man who ped-
dies out his principles by the acre
and then hides his little infamy
with the every-body-does-so blanket.
There are men who are in great
movements for the selfish interest
there is in it-so conservative that
they never risk a cent-but ready to
snatch the persimmons from other
hands with a heroism quite visible to
the naked eye.

The Clark County Democrat is
fighting a county ring. Go it, Dem.
We did it for two years, and the
farmers came up and supported the
movement-all but a few miserable
tools of the mOnOpOlists.

LIE Sueur Sentinel:
Minneapolis men are now working
up a project to build a ship canal
from that city to Duluth; but, of
course, they will ask large Govern
ment aid. It is a gigantic enterprise,
but one that ought to be carried to
completion. 1t would aid other parts
OF the State than Minneapolis.
Build it to the Red River! And
still'come the schemes to build up
and aggrandise the cities-but the
poor farmer can "fish or cut bait"
The farmers sweat has been crystal
lied into two great cities. Now let
the farmers have a chance.

Mark Dunnell is a Minnesota Con-
gresham who evidently desires to
stay at home hereafter. He has in
troduced bill to have members of
the House keep a "Secretary"-on
the starvation salary Of $40 a day!
The Hastings Democrat observes
that it takes only about million a
month to do this little act. Ring the
bell, and drop the curtain. The
Democrat has the figures a little too
high-but then there's a surplus.
The idea stated in one of our edi-
torials, that precious metals were
taken as Exchange" Currency sole
ly because counterfeiter of royal
mints, or private issuer, would have
to pay as much as the money was
worth to get the material to issue,
is a new one to many.
"Preciousness'' meant solely
safety. A currency made safe by
skill, as by engraving, is as "prec-
ious' as gold-for oversupply OF
either reduces value, and neither
have the material value except for
it's use for money. Demonetize gold
and in 48 hours it would be a drug
on the market.
