EDITOR GREAT WEST:
/ think I have given evidence
enough in the past to prove that l
am friendly to you and the "GREAT
WEST" I appreciate your position,
and write to offer my word of indorse-
ment to your course. You are un-
der great trial. You are helping to
make history, and as one of the most
prominent figures OF the day in the
history of Minnesota, to clearly de-
fine your position in this movment is
a duty you owe to yourself and
kindred; and while others may make
honesty subservient to policy, con-
scientious man will at least make a
protest against dishonesty, and not
condone wrong. The principles and
objects of the alliance are esta blished,
and while the methods and means
used at the convention which placed
men in nomination as the candidates
of the Independent party are ques-
tionable, yet if the men nominated
are possessed of sufficient ability
and integrity to perform the duties
of the office they are candidates for,
and if they solemnly pledge to fur
ther the objects and sustain the prin-
ciples of the alliance, our devotion to
the cause should prompt us to help
elect them. But at the same time
make it so hot for men who have
proven themselves recreant to the du-
ties of their station, as to preclude
the possibility of their getting new
lease of power. JAMES V. HYNEs.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
How glad I am to see such a paper
as the GREAT WEST. II wish itcould
be placed in every producers hands.
and printed in every language in
which our population speaks-and
gratuitously distributed until an un-
Outstanding OF it's great missionary
work could fully arouse them.
1t has been my hobby for years that
a real uniform action of either farm
ers or day laborers cannot be had
without political missionaries sup
ported by the more enlightened class.
In my town OF Stockholm, where l
live, l tried three times to start farm
ers' clubs for the same purpose as our
national alliance now are. But a
few understanding it's object, could
not be learned before everyone ceased
to meet, and that was the end OF it.
assisted in starting an alliance here
in June or July last. | spoke with
the Secretary at the same Alliance
lust as I was writing this letter and
he told me that they only meet once
a month and then only at evenings
and these few will come tired from
work and ignorant OF the great need
of a farm-union, and their Republi-
can leader, helps to throw wool over
their eyes so they can not see far.
A small amount of money for cleo
tioneering purposes was subscribed
last Sunday, at Silver Lake Alliance,
and a delegate to the County Conven-
ton appointed. I have strong
hope for the success OF the Alliance in
Mcleod county.

The Kansas Agitator:
When you hear a man say that our
money should be based upon gold,
ask him how much gold there is in
the country. Nine hundred and
ninety-nine times out of a thousand,
he can't tell you anything about it.
Then give him this fact to ponder:
There has not been mined in the
whole world, during the past century,
enough gold to move the products OF
the United States for one year. This
is fact. Then how can our money
be based upon gold? The Gov
ernment-or the powers that be-
say: "You shall use money but you
shall notproduce it. We 1.-THE powers
that be- will not produce it, but we
will delegate favored few to produce
it, and we will make discretionary
with them whether they allow you to
have any of the money or not"
That is just the fix this country is in
to-day. What do you think about
it, reader?
August 9th over one hundred old
Greenbackers met III convention in
Indianapolis and adopted the follow
ing resolutions without opposition:
Resolved, That all the current ex-
penses Of the government be hereafter
paid in full legal tender notes, green
backs, until their volume in circula-
ton amounts to $50 per capita of
population, and that all money re-
ceived into the treasury from tariff
and internal revenue taxation shall
be appropriated to the public debt
until it is entirely paid.
Resolved, That, as greenbacks'
preserved the union and saved the
life OF the government, and as con-
gress can authorize their issue in time
Of peace as we'll as during war, to
meet the present great and urgent
demand for more money by the peO-
pie, all expenditures Of the govern
ment should now be met by their is
sue as it was during the war.
The national greenback party ac-
knowledges the Importance OF the
transportation, tariff, land and labor
questions, but holds that all of these
subjects are subordinate to and must
follow restored nationality and civil
lied money.
1t recommends united action with
all organizations that agree with it
on the fundamental principles of re
stored union, fraternity, harmony
and loyalty among the people and
the issue of legal tender paper money
for value ,ceived by the government.
It offers these policies as speedy
and practical way for providing good
money to meet it's present great re
quirements, and it expects all who
want more money to vote for it's

A correspondent from Big Stone
does not write as though he could or
ganize any more alliances until the
state administration of the alliances
is changed. He says: eli we can
succeed in keeping alive the subor-
dinate alliances already organized
until the next annual meeting I still
will have hope. / have visited every
town in the county and called meet
ings, and find that the reading por-
ton of the farmers have less faith in
the alliance, and it is no wonder.
The District Convention held in Nor
ris, was such as to destroy all conf
dence. The constitution was thrown
aside, delegates admitted under false
representations, and carried out I'M
der the control of Pres. R. j. Hall,
regardless of Justice. There never
was better opportunity to strike
for our rights than the present, but
with political wire-pullers and dis
honest men at the helm there is lit
tie hope for success. The noble
fight Mr.. Donnelly made in the Exec
utive Committee to point out and
bring to justice the late Secretary
is duly appreciated, at least in Big
Stone Co., and the noble work done
by the GREAT WEST, regardless of
calumny daily heaped on it by the
municipal press of St. Paul, will be
kindly remembered.

Every man should carry

life, but to sacrifice the present health and
well being OF his family TO a large insur-

Many women Of great capabilities are

They seem to think that they are called

Kind-hearted and naturally considerable

SMALL LIBRARY BUILDING.

The management of q library, includ-
ing the selection of books, is of much
greater Importance than the building. The
librarian should be man of liberal educa-
ton, enthusiastic in his work. He should
have such genuine sympathy for good
literature as to create a taste for it among
his patrons The desultory reader who
inquiries for something interesting" there
are many SUCH should be provided with a
fascinating book OF history, biography,
travel. OF Of one of the trades on useful
arts. so nicely suited to his taste as to
inspire him with desire for careful and
methodical reading.
Light and trashy fiction should DO ex--
cluded. The habitual novel reader would
be disappointed not to find the opium-drug

OF tact may induce him to try solid reading
and thus reclaim him.
This building was designed for a retired
merchant, who Is erecting it for presentation
to his native town. Following will be found
