Lorraine's, Hector, Mimi:
This week $55.ooo,ooo was do
mated to the people by the Ma
tional banking system. This is but
one OF numerous benefits the people
have derived from this most wise sys-
TEN, the main one being to furnish a
sound currency, under the govern

to the government.
This is sample OF Lorraine's phil
osophy! Donated" to the people
donated on mortgaged security -
and then the ''donation' is by the
government-while the banks get the
interest.
This statement of Lorraine is one
OF his Pluribusters. 1t knocks the
nose off the man in the moon. The
National Banks give the people more
money!
When Lorraine borrows $3.50, and
gives mortgage for it, which is a
deed of his property, and pays in
terest on it, then Lorraine, or the
people have that much more money
haven't they! Lorraine must have
something attached to his mustache
yet-he better fill the shell up with
sumthin- er-ruther!

We understand from a long article
in the Industrial Age" that it pro-
nounces against the free coinage Of
silver with emphasis. That is not a
wise attitude for an Alliance Labor
paper to take-especially a member
OF the Campaign Committee. Free
coinage and double-standard is the
very rock upon which the monetary
foundation of the alliance is laid
and OF the great Industrial Union

maintaining official relations with

There is an old man down in
Preston, this state, who says that
Donnelly told him that Merriam was
to put IS, 900 into the GREAT WEST.
We are informed that the old man
referred to, named Hotchkiss, but for
his age a reprobate, is afflicted with
the palsy, and not wholly responsible
for what he says. He has been called
upon to give the date of the state
ment, and he says, september"
Now we wish to state that in Septem-
Der the G. w. was neither in exist
ence, nor it's name known, nor it's
editor aware that this paper would

five western states to decide upon a
location. Up to December OF last
year we did not even know W. R.
Merriam by sight-had never spoken
to him-had Away antagonized him,
as we do still-and it was not until
the 18th OF October that the paper
appeared. No man living, put one
single cent into the GREAT WEST
then or since excepting Drs. Fish &
Frain.
The ST. Paul Globe gives a pretend
ed interview with Gov. Merriam in
which the latter claims to have the
note for the money to start the
GREAT WEST! The Globe does well
to say afterward that there are mo

readers may take it for what it is
worth! OF course the statement is
one of the numerous recent lies of the

A. E. Ball, OF Rushford, by all par

and our republic, instead of being the

Inc attempt OF a few individuals
to create a disturbance in the AL
lance on account OF some slight err
rOrs in the secretary's accounts does
not amount to anything. Owing to
Mr.. Lathrop's absence in the East
on the Irvine commission, and the
large correspondence pertaining to
the rapid growth of the Alliance and
to the state convention. Mr. Lathrop
had not kept his books up in sys-
tematic shape; but there were no
serious mistakes, nothing covered up
and nothing to Indicate the shadow
of an attempt to defraud the Alliance
or misappropriate the funds. When
the accounts were audited and the re-

If Mr.. Owens sustains the officers Of
the alliance in their raid on the AL

the St. Paul bankers, he is doing
very unwise thing for candidate.
We do not think Mr.. Ovens would
actually defend a man who had not
obeyed even one of the constitutional
requirements. Such a course is not a
guaranty of the faithful discharge
OF his duties" Mr.. Owens knows
that Lathrop has not obeyed the
constitution-and that he was not
''vindicated by the committeep' He
was compelled to Immediately give
an endorsed note or due-bill, to make
good $112-a deficit afterwards
made $162-and his accounts left for
examination. Mr.. Hall disgorged
$65 to which he had no claim. La
throp was refused the use of another
dollar OF alliance money. No man
can look over those personal ex-
penses of Lathrop, outside of his sal
ary-his clerk hire-his unconstitu-
tional convention bills, his boys ex-
penses to st. Paul-his absolutely
shocking lack OF accounts and
vouchers, his use of $27O in "a days,
besides audited accounts and salary
his omission Of receipts of charter
