A Warning.

About six months ago a newspa-
per called The GREAT WEST was
started in st. Paul by DR.. Fish. This
paper is just now breathing the
breath of life into the Farmers ALI
ance. DR.. Fish is agitating, organlz-
ing and educating the farmer, prepar.
ing them fora desperate fight against
their oppressors. This naturally if
ritates party Politicians, and they
are making some cowardly attempts
through their sheets to throw mud
at "The GREAT WEST" but l think
they better take a timely warning
A man who thinks he can fight DR..
Fish must be a lunatic. We all know
what became OF the "Renville Union
editor who thought he could fight
DR.. Fish, as told by Donnelly. The
result of that fight was that when
DR.. Fish was through there was
nothing left Of the poor editor but a
pair of ears and mustache, and the
chances are that the same is going
to be the doom of every editor who
is trying to tackle him. The GREAT
WEST has come to stay; it has
kindled a fire, and it is spreading
like wild fire, and the Devil himself
cannot quench it. A FARMER.

PARSIMONY OF THE DEMOCRATS
They Are Never Satisfied With or

addressed large audience tonight at

sentatives and congress, and to see how
in detail is carried out this principle
that when things are to be done the re-
publican party does them. The great
struggle which has been made by the
democratic representatives for years has
been not to be economical In the ex-
penditures of tho government, but to
cut down the sum total of the nppro-
priations. They have been striving in
every way to pile up the surplus, not
merely by taxation, but by parsimony
in their action in the expenditure oi
money. So long as they could
point to the clogging of business
which resulted from the storing OF
money In the treasury they seemed
happy, but now they are busily engaged
In showing that the surplus has disap-
peared. They are unable to be con-
tented. either with o surplus or without
one. There is no doubt but that the ex-
penditures OF tho government are about
10 approach the receipts, but any man
would make o mistake il he believed 1t
was in any way the result of extrava-
gance or carelessness with the public
money. There have been advertise.
ments sent broadcast of this surplus,

money out of the treasury for other
than public purposes, hut not one
OF these schemes has been successful.
