The Farmer in Politics.

The Farmers Alliance was not essen
TALLY political at its inception, but it
was formed for the projection of the
agricultural community against the le-
galized assaults of corporations and pro-
tected monopolists. Therefore it was
doomed from the beginning to take an
active part in political affairs, for social
relations will lie at the bottom of our
politics for some yearst to come, and prob
ably generations yet unborn will find
themselves face to face with problems
that are now disturbing the country.
The farmers have been rudely awak-
ened to the fact that they have been
the sport of most astute and selfish in
~terests; that they have been unduly
taxed without resulting benefit, and that
the helpful forces of government have
drained them for the benefit of men who
are enriched by unjust taxation.
In the west the earnest and indignant
protest against this injustice has drawn
the farmers out of the Republican party.
In the south the farmers are capturing
Democratic conventions. The result will
probably be healthful. New York
World.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-09-19
They Have a Right to a Party.

The monopoly press is sick because the
farmers and wage workers are taking a
hand in politics. The men who have
been running the political parties seem
to think that the proper place for those
who create the wealth and pay the taxes
is in the fields and workshops, except on
the day Of election, when they should
sally forth and vote for the men who are
nominated by the bosses and rings.
When the people adopt the methods
of the bosses of the two old party lead
ers, and have their candidates nominat-
ed for Office, they at once become politi-
cal criminals, and the bosses talk of driv-
ing them out of the party.
If the people see proper to organize
for political purposes, whose business is
it? They have as much right to have a
party as the corporations. The trouble
is With those who have been running
the politics for several years. They
don't want to give the old parties over
to the control of the people, as they know
that when the people take hold of poll
tics those who have been running the
country politics will be compelled to
give way for better and more patriotic
men.-San Antonio Labor Journal.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-09-19
Nothing Has Been Done.

The industrial union of farmers and
others should bear in mind the old max
i'm that "God helps those who help them
selves" At the beginning, and very
soon after the confederation of labor at
st. Louis, where, among other things,
free coinage of the standard silver dollar
was demanded, your representatives in
congress (men who were elected by your
votes) have done nothing in compliance
with the demands you have made, but
on the first opportunity voted down the
free coinage bill, which passed the senate
by fCrty-two against twenty-five votes.
Nothing has been done to abolish ma
tional banks. Nothing has been done to
prevent (gambling) dealing in futures by
boards of trade. Nothing has been done
to prevent alien ownership of land.
Nothing has been done to equalize taxa
ton. Nothing has been done to stop
boarding and put money in circulation.
Nothing has been done to issue frac-
paper currency Script to facili-
tate exchange through the mails and for
convenience in other business transact
lions. Nothing has been done to place
ownership in the government of COM
mu~nication and transportation for the
interests of the people, as in the United
States postal mail service.-News Re-
porter, Three Rivers, Mich.

Stick q Pin Here.

These are days of subterfuges-times
when men greet principles with one
hand and strangle them with the other;
and it is, above all, needful now to in
sist on what we may call the principles
of loyalty. Let there be no shams. Re
quire every man to show his han2 ex-
press his convictions and live up to his
principles. Too many men in public po-
sitions are, to use a homely expression,
trying to carry water on both shoulders.
They acquiesce in your views, express
sympathy with your cause and promise
You a faithful support; but at the time
you need their services, at the very mo-
ment when their presence is most de-
sired, they are unaccountably absent.
Shun all such in future.-Farmers'
Friend.

can Interesting Feature

1t is just now the farmers turn to
smile. IF he wears a smile of liberal di-
mansions he may, all things considered,
be pardoned for it. For years he has
been kept under the harrow. He has,
practically, been a nonentity in politics
in great part owing to his own stupidity
but he is waking up and, like the giant
who slumbered long, is developing his
strength. The newspapers, which for
these many years have noticed the farm
ers only to joke them in their puerile
wit, now begin to bestow upon them
considerable serious attention. The
farmers have stopped working long
enough to think, have interested them
selves in the politics of the country, and
that counts. An exchange says: Zone
of the interesting features Of politics in
the south is the coming out Of the farm
err" That is the point. The farmer
has burrowed too long like the festive
woodchuck which infests his farm. It
Is high time for him to come out, and
come out strong. It is ripe time for him
to have his say as against the legal gen.
tlemen and the politicians.-Rochester
Times.

The North Dakota Capital pays
the following compliment to H. L.
Loucks, the independent candidate
for governor OF South Dakota:
"The ability of H. L. Loucks as a
campaign speaker is recognized by
both the friendly and adverse press
of South Dakota. He is the brains
that plans, the propelling power
that moves and the helm that guides
the independent movement in that
state. He is to the independent
movement in that state what Ham
let is to the play Of Hamlet. He has
a peculiarly pleasing address, and
makes his enemies feel good even
while he is hopping the earth with
them. He is one Of the few men who
can use sarcasm effectively without
giving offense."
And Mr.. Loucks is a man who
never has lacked the courage to
stand with the alliance in infant
days. He has always stood by his
convictions. The laboring force in
the Dakota Campaign are a band OF
noble men-and it's journal, The
Ruralist, is a grand exponent OF the
party. Hail, younger Sister-we
look up to thee as to an elder, in vir-
tue and power.

Magnificent Alliance Organ.

The Daily News, OF Tuesday, this
week, confined itself exclusively to
democratic and republican politics.
Nots0ne single word OF alliance-not
even the word-not even the usual
heading-appeared. When the Farm,
Stock and Home picks out such a
"playmate' doe, it look like an ef-
fort to win success? The GREAT
WEST does more in one second for
the alliance cause than such ''or-
gans" in an eternal eternity!

Mr.. Geo. W. Sprague has written
us a letter denying that he furnished
the Minneapolis Times the matter
dlshed up in a column of lies, with
immense headlines, affecting Mr.. Don
nelly and the GREAT WEST. Now we
want to know if the Times manufac-
tured the article out of whole cloth?
Mr.. Sprague's letter will be published
next week.
Who did furnish those lies-Was it
HOdgson?

"OH, THE ingratitude of man! A
short year ago Ignatius Donnelly
was busily engaged enthusing new
life into the inanimate Farmers AL
lance; then came Fish and his paper
cultivating the seeds thus sown, I'M
til a beautiful and fruitful tree had
developed, but 10, when the harvest
was near both Donnelly & Fish were
laid on the shelf, and the fruits of
their labors are being gathered by
other hands. Twas ever thus!'-
Carver Co. News.

think one of us asked more than an
honest campaign and honest Of

What Ticket viii You Vote

After going through all the toll
and difficulty to organize alliances, it
would be folly to go back to the old
parties and put the very men in pow
er again whom we have labored
against. Every power OF a powerful
machine will be used to draw you
back. Every failure Of the alliance
officials to deal justly by the radical
element will be referred to. But be
wise, strong, self-reliant. Go to the
polls to do your duty as patriots. Ii
it be said to you that our ticket is
not the very best that could have
been selected, reply that it is the best
that is selected. Be free, just, con-
scientiOus-at all events cut abso-
lutely loose from all party ties.

When the American farmers place
principle above partisan politics, and
learn to think and act for themselves
and in their own interests, they will Sc

The Farmers Alliance, of Phelps
county, Neb., has undertaken to pro-
claim a boycott against ''any newspaper,
man, hrm or company who will print,

llshed, in his or their paper any dispar-
aging word or sentence against any Of
tne candidates we may select for Office"

A Battle Hymn.

Not satisfied with a plain prosaic nraa.
entation of the question, the organized
farmers have put their ideas in verse
which they sing to very martial music
in their lodges. This is an extract from
the Farmers Battle Hymn:
The farmers are now banded
In one vast and mighty thrung;
Their forces are now blended.
They are marching grandly on.
Their war cry now is sounding
On every hill and plain.
From the Atlantic oceans pillows
10 the Rocky mountains chain.
This mighty mass is moving
WITH grand %triumphal cry,
ard their w~atchword is: MONOPOLY
Must either yield Or die.
TWO million members of the Alliance
are singing this song now in Maryland
and Virginia, in West Virginia and
North Carolina, in South Carolina and
Florida, in Georgia and Alabama, in
Mississippi and Louisiana, in Texas and
Arkansas, in Colorado, New Mexico and
Kansas, in Missouri, Kentucky and Ten
nessee, in Indiana and the two Dakotas,
In Minnesota and Iowa, in Nebraska and
California, in Washington, Illinois and
Michigan, in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York, in New Jersey and little
Delaware.
It rolls across the continent from the
Atlantic to the Golden Gate, and up from
the Gulf of Mexico to the st. Lawrence.
Men who wore the blue and men who
wore the gray are singing it. Men who
have been lifelong Democrats and life
long Republicans are singing it-singing
it with q lung power that sends a shud-
der through the machine magnates in a
score of states.
If the two million would, however.
only content themselves with singing
the machinists would be satisfied, but
the trouble is the farmers are announcing
and resolving that they will vote as they
sing this fall in every state where there
is an election. and that if they cannot
find a candidate to suit them for every
Office, from the highest to the lowest,
they will put up a candidate from the
ranks of their own horny handed leaders,
and see what they can do toward max
ing him q governor or a congressman

Six OF these 80 were farmers!
The 81 bankers represented 1000
associations or combinations with a
capital OF half a billion, and monied
interests of ten times that amount.
WeMill most of us live to curse our
folly in putting a banker, a lawyer
and an exchanger at the head OF our
party! Oh blind and timorous chill
dren! How long before the scales
fall!

The GREAT WEST agency supplied
farmers at Hutchinson, with binding
Irvine and now they are kicking be-
cause it was not as represented. The
safest plan, as heretofore mentioned
in these columns, is to buy OF home
dealers, thus insuring the delivery
OF goods at reasonable prices.-Janes-
vile Argus.
We have sent a note to the car
gus stating that we would refund
the money to any Alliance if they
could show up a single pound of
Irvine not as represented. The above
is probably a malicious falsehood,
and if SO we suggest that the farmers
take action thereon. The GREAT
WEST knocked the price OF Irvine off
6u1 cents last summer, and al see
why some of the local dealers kick.

Court Notes.


 The non-support case brought by Mrs. William B. Hall, formerly of Wallingford, against her husband, ex.postmaster of that town, was called in the city court yesterday after two postponements.
