DEAR S1R-For years have 1 been
waiting to- see paper to come out
in the interest Of the agriculturist-
the producer of nearly all the wealth
in this state and at large in the U. S.
If you keep up as you have begun,
striking shoulder blows, some of the
vampires that live off the very life
blood Of the people, will land on the
other side OF the ropes. Years back I
have been a worker in the alliance in
Jackson Co. Our organization went
down. Had we had a paper like the
GREAT WEST, l think we could have
kept up. There seems to be q
greater willingness among the far
mers to give the old parties the cold
shoulder then formerly and vote for
men that are willing to pledge to the
people. Keep up the good work you
have begun. think the time has
come when it will pay to stay by the
granger. EMIL j. MEILNKE.

The following article is republished

right to reprint such matter in our

our grand cause it will do much good
and at most but slight harm:
ADVICE FROM A TAXPAYER.
LUCE, Jan. 18, 1890.
Editor Fergus Falls Journal:
Will you kindly allow me space to
say a few words in praise of DR.. Fish,
editor of the GREAT WEST, and the
truest friend the farmers ever had.
He knows their wrongs, and he
knows how to right them. Let every
farmer who cares anything for his
own freedom and that of his children
send 81 for the GREAT WEST. at St.
Paul. If the farmers do not care
enough about their own welfare to
support newspaper that works for
their own interests, they ought to
pay high interest, high taxes, and
get low prices. Let the farmers of
Otter Tail drop old scores, join
hands, work for themselves, and
then see where the bankers that
make it lawful for you to pay high
interest and tax you for what you
owe, and reduce the taxes OF Fergus
Falls for their own benefit, will be.
The farmers want no lawyers, either.
They are worse than the bankers.
Now, do something for yourselves.
Don't let DE-. Fish do it all. The doc
tor will never try to sell you; I do
not believe there is money enough Inn
Minnesota to- tempt him to think of
doing it. The Otter Tail County AL
lance has had one lesson. They all
know who it was that tried to sell
them to Charlie Gilman. But he
failed to do it, So let them take
warning and pay no attention to
whatever may come from that source.
Never trust man that has tried to
sell you once. A TAX PAYER.

Alliance Report.
The following officers were chosen
for the ensuing term; NJ. B. Fry
Pres: II. Fawcett, Vice Pres; F.
M. DYER, lSec; M. N. Caldwell, Treas.
There is about twenty dollars in
the Treasury.
We adopted a constitution and by
laws at the meeting. We concluded
to hold meetings on the End and 4tt
Saturdays of each month through
the winter. We number now fifty
members. Hardly q meeting but
what we are increased in numbers.
1 think we might have feast day
some day this winter, to which every
body and their wives might come
bring a lunch basket filled from sub
stantial larders of the farmers and
we might send for some one of the
many lecturers who are addressing
large audiencesi in other localities.
We need such things to keep us
stirred up to a white heat, that we
may be able to cast our ballots fol-
our own interests and not be run by
politicians and place hunters, who
care nothing for our interests after
they are once seated in paying
office. Let us turn over a new lesf in
this matter and show to the world
that we can assert and mainland
our rights as tillers of the soil. Let
us have a better intelligence in these
things and it will not be long before
we can have our laws framed more
to our interests and welfare.

IndividuaIism.
ID. GREAT VEST:

ED. GREAT WEST:
have just been reading two copies
of the GREAT WEST. I am an indi-
vidual in the Great West. and do
not propose to lose my identity.
The great fault of the common peo-
pie of almost every nation, is, they
lose their individuality. They indi-
vidually stultify the esoteric principle
of their growth or education and be-
come the blind followers of other
peoples notions. The divine right of
kings, is in this country, substituted
by the divine right of the majority,
or the public functionary; it is a bad
habit to get into and leads us into
muddy ruts and surrounds us by en-
vironments that stop the growth
of the soul. 1 imagine this will be
the great fault OF the Farmers Al
lance. The majority will override
the calm deliberations of the indi-
vidual; the individual will neglect his
personal duties, thinking that the
society will do for him what he
ought to do for himself.
WHINING GRANGER. i
Our correspondent is humorous
here-because the farmer hasn't
done anything for several years, and
now he proposes to ''ally'' himself to
his own interests-for q change.

and willing to do their share in the
good cause. The officers of the Al

not as active as they might be and
urgently requested the representa-

work a regeneration of the sluggish
ones. Good speeches were made by

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
l have been reading the GREAT
WEST for sometime. | see there are
d great many letters in the paper.
I am farmer and poor man,
and know by experience that we as
farmers think too much about our
own troubles but do not study
enough about the reason why things
are SO. Ihave been taking the GREAT
WEST for sometime and l am of
opinion that the reason for our finan-
cial troubles are pretty wellexplained
by the different brother farmers.
We see times are growing harder
and closer. We see that some time
in the near future the majority OF
farmers and laborers will become
homeless and entirely at the mercy
of the mOnOpOlists and trusts of the
United States and England. l think
if we as a people could see it, that the
iron is getting pretty hot, all we
would have to do is to get ready to
strike, and vote the union labor and
farmers ticket, and redeem this once
freq land of ours from ruin. Let us
put our shoulders to the wheel and
push the good cause next fall.

Iowa Letter.

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa, Jan. p, 80.
Mr.. EDITOR
There has come sample copy of
the GREAT WEST to me, and in INV
opinion that is just the paper that
every Farmer should read and be
benefited. / consider it of many
times more worth than the Agricul-
tural Journals. What most of the
farmers need, is notso much education
about farming and how to increase
the crop, as it is to get the full nat
ural value Of the crop, and the only
remedy is to get politically educated.
1t seems to me the greatest robber,
the protective tariff, is too much
overlooked and ignored by the
farmers. They are told, and they be-
lieve they are protected as well as
the manufacturer, but how could all
be protected? 1t is plain enough to
see, if we will see it. how much we
farmers are protected by the tariff.
When we bring a load of produce to
market the buyer tells us ''prices are
down to day 10 cents" How is
that? ''Well we got per telegraph
from Liverpool that they had such
a heavy shipment from India, Po-
land or Hungary, that the market
dropped, and that is what we have
to go by. You will get Liverpool
prices just the same for your pro-
duct less the freight and other ex-
penses, and that is all you can ex-
pectH'
If we western farmers had a
fair chance, and were not "pro-
tected" in that way, by a tar
iff tax on everything we buy, we
would soon lift our mortgages and
lend our money to the East, and
make them rich as they have done
with the west! l have more papers
than l have time to read, but send
me the GREAT WEST for which find
money enclosed. God speed your
work. OLE OLSON.

Mr. EDITOR:
DEAR SIR:-I enclose you a little
tariff bill which I think would be in
Jeresting for the farmer to read.
Yours truly, A. EDMoNDs.
During the debate on the Mills
tariff reduction bill in congress, Mr..
Turner thus described daily life on
the farm:
ss'Under the present protective tar
iff the farmer rises in the morning,
puts On his common flannel shirt
taxed 95 per cent, his coat taxed 81
per cent, shoes 35 per cent, and hat
taxed 80 per cent; takes the water
from bucket taxed 35 per cent,
and washes his face and hands in q
tin bowl. taxed IS per cent, dries
them on cheap cotton towel taxed
IS per cent. He sits down to a hum
BILE meal and eats from plate taxed
SO per cent. drinks his coffee with
sugar taxed Sc per cent, seasons his
food with salt taxed SO per cent,
pepper taxed 81 per cent. He looks
around on his wife and children all
taxed in the same way, takes a chew
of tobacco taxed 1919 per cent, or
lights a cigar taxed 118 per cent.
And sir, even the sunlight from
Heaven that pours into his humble
dwelling must come through window
glass taxed SO per cent, and yet he
thinks he lives in the freest govern
ment under heaven. Then he starts
to work, puts a bride taxed 20 per
cent, on his horse, and takes his
horse that has been shod, the nails
used in shoeing being taxed SO per
cent, driven by hammer taxed 20
per cent, and bitches him to q pillow
taxed As per cent, and after the
days labor is closed and his family
are all gathered around he reads O
chapter from his Bible taxed 26 per
cent, and kneels to God on an hum
BILE carpet taxed 81 per cent, and
then he rests his weary limbs on a
sheet taxed As per cent, and covers
himself with a blanket that he has
paid 1O4 per cent. Even the broom
with which his good wife sweeps the
floor is taxed IS per cent, and the
cooking vessels used in preparing her
husbands frugal meals are taxed As
per cent, and the soda used to
tighten his bread taxed So per cent.
She sits down to her sewing with a
needle taxed 25 per cent, and a
spool of thread taxed "a per cent,
to make a calico dress taxed So Fer
cent, or if she wishes to knit warm
socks to protect her husband and
children from the bitter cold she uses
yarn taxed 1870 per cent"
