Great Alliance Meeting at Glencoe.

-. On Wednesday, Dec. I'd, splendid
Alliance meeting was held at Glencoe.
Every part of Mcleod county was
represented by delegations of the
leading citizens, every officer OF the
alliance for Renville county was pres
emit and the trains came in full OF peo-
ole. The citizens of Glencoe furnish
ed a hall free and the Glencoe band
volunteered it's services and treated
the crowd to some excellent music.
Mr.. G.. N. Perkins, OF Stewart, pre-
sided, and James Hanna, of Renville
Co., Mr.. Cutler, OF Sumter: Jerry
Mobiles, of Glencoe, Fl. V. Poore, of
Bird Island, and q number OF the
prominent friends OF the peoples par
ty were on the platform. The hall
was packed full, and many persons
we're standing. The audience was al
together farmers, and a more en-
thusiastic crowd never assembled in
Glencoe. Hon. Ignatius Donnelly
spoke for about an hour and a hall
and was warmly applauded. At the
close he called for subscriptions fol
alliance papers, state and local, ano
received the names of about thirty
persons for the GREAT WEST.
The meeting was a grand success
and gave the lie most emphatically
to the claim OF the daily press thai

GOLD AND SILVER.

Silver Was the Standard of Value Until Des
monetized BY the Gold Bugs.
In a recent issue of the Toledo Blade
we find this declarations:
'Gold is our standard of values, and
has been since the resumption of specie
payments"
Very true but silver was our stand
ard of values from the foundation of
the government to 1873, when the gold
men secured the demonetization of sill
yer and the change Of the standard If
silver is the cheapest metal, as the gold
advocates declare, then the standard of
value was increased so that it took
more of every commodity to fill the
standard than it did before, thus
making every article worth less
as compared with the standard,
and reducing the value of
the possessions of every property
owner and labor producer in the
United States except the owners Of
gold-made all the other property
owners poorer and the gold owners
richer. And this was done by act of
the general government
True government is founded on ex-
act justice to all its subjects. Here,
by the argument Of the gold men
themselves, very great injustice was
done to very great majority of the
people, and friends of justice and good
government must naturally desire that
restitution be made; that the original
standard be restored, and the values
arbitrarily taken from all the property
be returned Mount Vernon GIL Pro-

the AIackays are too droll to be serious, and
to attribute their motive to jealousy is even
more ridiculous. jealousy and envy are
human feelings and are to be found in
palaces as well as in the humblest huts,
but when we hear that Mr.. and Mrs.
Mackay, who have everything that may be
desired in this world, are jealous and en-
vious, we may naturally ask of what and
whom? Many members of society," both
American and English, are eager to repeat
in court the vile attacks and transparent
insinuations preferred against Mr.. and
Mrs, Mackay in London, in Paris, and es-
pecially on board Atlantic steamers
during the last four or five years.
