Capital WIN witharawr
Mol you don't say sol God bless
you, is that possible? Happy day
for farmers when the Eastern Blood
swipe wipes his crimson jaws, and
says, "No more money for that
stated Halcyon promise for toll
when it becomes impossible to mort
gage another farm! Capital-foreign
or eastern capital? Why, the daily
plutocratic spittoon-cleaners imply
that capital importations are a
blessing! Blessing? Yes, in the same
sense that pirates are-they keep
money Gin circulation'-an blood
too.
Farmer, don't mortgage that farm
now! Look out! You know well the
breakers are beating against the
shore and in few hours your craft
will strike! Let the west teach the
east the want Of value in a leech
when there is no blood to suck.
Thefailure of Barker Bros, of Phil
adelphia, with iabilitis of $3,OOO,-
900, at the close OF the last week, in
dicates that the financial difficulties
are only smothered. The western
dailies continue to write headlines to
state that "Everything is Brighten

"The Enhance Company" a Phil
adelphia Trust Concern, with s., OOO,-
900 assets, also closed it's doors.
LATER.-The money market is
again quieting-as it did between
each of the previous shocks. Our adj
vice to poor people is. to save up a
little money and keep it by you. The

kept these crashes from spreading,
so far, and may continue to do So
but it is ''safer to be safe"
The man who runs the supposed
St. Paul end OF a labor journal called
the Industrial Age puts in a column
and a half this week on our plea at
Saltwater to Lathrop's suit. The
fact is the little game to ruin the
GREAT WEST did not work-and
among the minions of plutocracy
who were disappointed was an ex-
Baptist Clergyman from New York
via Chicago, who stepped into the
Alliance work in time to ask Bierman
for an office-and who now runs the
St. Paul end of that sheet. As for the
Industrial Age, ask the organized la
Dor of Duluth how well it represented
them there.
Mr. Lathrop's accounts have been
published down to the repayment of
$145 nearly 40 days after his re-
moval as Secretary.
1t will all be published again, with
the letters received, and the short
ages noted-before entering upon the
prosecution. The GREAT WEST was.
just a little too early a riser to be
caught in that trap. As for the Ind.
Age, let it buzz-it is as harmless
against the G.. W. as it is against
the plutocrats. If it has ever done
anything in the cause, what is. it?
We understand that Mr.. H. E..
Boen, Register OF Otter Tail County,
objects to our statement that GER
tain farmers of the county led by Mr..
Plowman and urged by the GREAT
WEST, got him to make the mort
gage report. In other words he
claims the ''credit'' OF doing the work
of his own motive. As one Of the
cash sponsors for "the job the
GREAT WEST objects to this view OF
the case. Mr.. Boon was not willing
at first to undertake the work, and
objected to it both on account Of ex-
pense and usefulness. That he under
took the work, however, is greatly to
his credit, and for it we thank him.
This horrible expose took our
breath away. The party papers are
silent on the matter, and well they
may be. It was the picture OF ruin
and desolation. 1t is ghost walk.
