MINNESOTA NOR

GONE six months ago the Great
- West St. Paul, Mimi alleged
that 700 mortgages had been fore
closed in n county in that State in
the past twelve months. Many of
the papers made Eight Of the statement.
Since that the Great WeSt went to the
trouble of getting the exact figures
and published them in the last issue
Of the paper. They find that the
county has bonds outstanding for rail
road facilities to the amount of $780,
600. The tota, NUMBER Of real estate
mortgages that have been recorded
since the county was organized is 49,
8l9. OF this number 1872 have been
satisfied or foreclosed, leaving 6,547
still in force. The total mortgage in
debtedness since the county was or
gained has been ST, 1872, O63, O8. Of
this amount, S3,494, 98l.86 have been
paid up or fOreclosed. This leaves
the vast sum of So, 637 ,O8l,22 unpaid.
The county has a population of about
80, 600 people. 1t has 81 townships
So each township has an average Of
lO6 mortgages amounting to SIS G62.
The Great West finds that the average
price OF wheat in the county for he
past twelve months has been about so
Gems per bushel. Now how long will
Il take these people to pay these deb.s
with so cent wheat? That is not all.
Neatly all the personal property in
the county is under C h4ttel mortgages.
On the real estate mortgages above
they have to pay $500, 900 annually
IN interest. Add to this the $40 600
annual interest on the railroad bonds
and other Indebtedness and the total
sum for interest is $500, 600 each
year.
The above are facts. There is no
g~uesswOrk about it. Can there be
any further doubt about the sincerity
of the Northwestern farmers in the
great Alliance movement 2 The his
tory Of this n county is lst a sample
of the awful condition of things in that
fertile region. Yet everybody except
the farmers and laborers are prosper
ing as they never did before. How
long will this republic last al this
rate ?

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
~ RAILROADS.

GONE people corn the idea Of the
~ government owning and operating
all transportation lines. Like most
things, there is two sides to the cues
ION.
In 1889 the railroads of Russia paid
the government a net surplus of ST.
100000. Taking this as a basis, the
railroads in the United States would
pay all the State and national taxes.
India has 5000 miles of government
railroads, magnificent depots and iron
telegraph poles. The poor working
people of India average only Z cents
per day. The railroad fare is only
one seventeenth of a cent per mile.
So they can ride lI9 miles for the
price of a days labor. The average
price per day for labor in the United
States is about SI.5O. There is a
wide difference between Z cents and
$50, yet the American laborer can
only ride about so miles for a DAYS
work. The citizen of India can ride
50 miles further for the price of a
days work than the American citizen.
We need passenger and freight
charges put down on an equal footing
with other charges. If it can be done
by means of a railroad commission.
all right; if not, then by some other
means.

Il New York less than four weeks
ago, and since that time has spread
with lightning rapidity through Buff
Ialo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany,
MassIllon, O., GAINESVILLE, Columbus
and Springfield which cities are stir
r ny themselves in the same direction.
A lumber of the largest manutactur
lag c0mpani IS and corporations OF
Pitts ourg have followed suit, includ-
ing C~arnegie's rolling mills and steel
works, the Westinghouse company
and all the large firms doing business
below Pittsburg on the Allegheny
river. Tue Colt Arms company, the
Yale Lock company and the Broome
Elevator works in Connecticut have
all a share in this immense cOmb-na-
ton, and it is the intention Of the
promoters to extend the system from
end to end Of the United States. The
avowed object is to crush the labor
organizations, and to decimate the
various trades unions Of the country
by refusing in a body t. employ union
labor. 1t Is claimed that by thorough,
ly concerted action and the refusal to
acknowledge collective effort On the
part Of the employees that the power
of labor as a body can easily be
broken by taking n city or district
at a time, and utterly paralyzjng the
workers by a contribution of capital
sufficient to starve the laboring class
into a submission to the terms OF the
capitalistic league. They will then
refuse to acknowledge any profess or
petition which is not personal or ia
dividual. The scale Of wages vii oe
fixed by the league, as will all other
important matters as to hours, etc.
Should the employees Of one firm de-
mand as a body any change or amell,
oraion of their condition such acton
is to be viewed in the light of a strike.
Work is to be suspended, and the
firm thus involved, together with all
other firms engaged in a similar
business, shall close down uatil the
dissatisfied workers shall have sub
mitted to the terms dictated by the
league.

THE RESULT.

THE election is over. The result
/ was better than the victorious
party had expected. But the time
has come when treachery to tue in,
terests of the people by any party, or
~ganization or Individual will be pun
ished promptly. The people Of this
countrg are desperately in earnest
They will no longer put up with non
sense Old party fossils have lost
their grip. The people want men;
they want live issues; they are going
to have them. Sectionalism has gov
erned the action Of the men in power
in this country to a great extent for
more than 25 years. After sectional
ism came corruption. The result Of
this election is only a beginning. Who
can t"oretell the end?
Notwithstanding the fact that party
feeling ran high, particularly so in
some localities, there was no blood
shed. The work Of the Alliance can
be seen in this. The people are in a
better condition mentally and morally
than they have been for years. The
only trouble was one or two rows in
Northern cities where the influence of
the Alliance cannot reach.
II the people of this county, par
ticuIarly the farmers improve as
rapidly in the next two or two years
as they have in the past, the effect
will be wonderful. The people expect
nc man to be perfect, but they will no
longer be slaves to party tyrants. For
instance, men like John J Ingalls, or
Speaker Reed, will be hurled from
high PLACES just as Don as ballots can
do it.
1t is to be hoped that a great deal
mas been accomplished alreaoy, but it
will not do TO stop. Hold your ground
and continue to think and act. In
making the politics of the country
better you will better yourselves
Watch as well as pray, and never lose
sight Of the fact that the primaries are
the place TO begin reforms. What
ever you do don't allow a man to be
elected to any position with the ex-
pectation Of his doing his duty after
he is elected, when he is not willing
to do it before his election.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM KAN
SAS?

WHO is Polk, anyhow? Say,
w Mr.. Crawford, have you ever
heard of him 2 We put down the
triumph of the party in Kanoas as the
most significant political action that
has occurred in the history Of our
country, and it was precipitated and
inspired by the bitter sectional speech
of Senator Ingalls,, in the Senate last
February. The movement was organ
lied only in May last and it is a re
markable fat that not a prominent
politician was connected With it. 1t was
literally a mighty uprising of the in
dustrial classes to assert their man
hood and they did it ~gIoriously. They
elected their entire State ticket-six
Congressman out Of seven and carried
the legislature almost soIidly. 1t is
said that on joint ballot in their Gen.
eral Assembly there is a clear majority
of % against Senator Ingalls,. And
thus endeth the first lesson

THE CAUSES.

\ LII of the papers are saying just
"A what caused the great Democratic
~upheaval throughout the country.
None of them are entirely correct, but
they say it all the ame Perhaps the
New York World is about correct in
the following:
"This result is due to the conduct
of the majority of the present House.
The people have fttingly rebuked the
partnership with monopoly and plu-
~tocracy into which the Republican
party has forced the government.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-11-11

They have rebelled against the ad-
ditional burden of taxes with which
they have been loaded for the benefit
of the contributors to Republican
campaign funds. They have uttered
a protest against the Republican at
tempt to maintain their power IN the
Senate by the creation of rotten Dor
ough States. They denounce the ex
travagance of a Congress which has
brought the Treasury face to face
with a ~ruinous deficiency. They have
given an adverse verdict on Mr.. Reeds
arbitrary denial of the rights OF the
minority and his destruction of the
deliberative character of the House. "
