How 1t Was Made.

The Chicago Tribune, Republi-
can, explains how tin-plate was
made recently in that city. The
manufacturers used imported
Welsh iron-plate and dipped it in
melted tin--alsog imported-em-
ploying imported Welshman to do
the work. The result was the
American made tin-plate of which
protectionists are boasting. Tin
plate made this way, however
benefits neither the Pennsylvania
iron man nor the, Dakota mine
owner. What il calls to mind il
the 915, 700; 200 tar imposed on thu
innocent eonsumcr.

Lastfall the Republicans boast
ed that if they carried the Legis-
lature they would SO re-district
the State that the Democrats new
er could elect another Legislature.
The Democrats should not resent
this, but they should re-district
the State and if they do SO to the
advantage of the Democratic par
ty they will be pleasing a very
large majority of her citizens
Nelc Donsinion.
Wehope that the apportionment
will be fairly and honestly made
and without any effort at partizan
advantage. The Democratic par
ty is the party of the people, and
can not afford to take any advan'
tage of the people by legislation
The Republican party being
party of jobbery are expected t.
resort to measures which the
Democratic party can not.

There are parties out in the State
positively declaring that there is no
official Business Agency-that the
Business Agency at 673 Wabasha
Street is simply the firm of Fish, &
Frain, etc. We have no patience
with these low-down liars. There is
an "offciaP' Business Agency, under
the official Business Agent, H. L..
Loucks officially appointed. And
in that Agency DR.. Fish has not one
cent of interest, nor is his name in
any way conjoined thereto. A firm
of ''Fish & Frain" is not in any way
connected Herewith. DR.. Frain is of
the firm, and he is Chairman of the
Irvine Committee of the National N.

"busted" the Irvine trust while these
other vermillion-hued scratch-back
fellows were on their celebrated
Irvine junkets. Mr.. Skinner, the

man, is also with the Agency.
The Business Agency is doing a

attained in this state. They are re-

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

By the Kandiyohi county Alliance
in convention at Willmar, May 13,
1891:
The following resolutions were re-
ceived from the "Standard," pub
lished by H. W. Roll, but the first
resolution was left off, and it being
sent to us by Sec'y Owre, we add it
to the Others:
Resolved: That we protest against
the purchase of what is termed long
fiber machines for the manufacture
of Irvine from MANILA, sisal and
other foreign materials at the state
prison at Saltwater, as we find that
the purchase OF such machinery will
defeat the successful manufacture of
binding Irvine by prison labor.
Resolved: That an American sys-
tenn OF machinery, suitable for man.
ufacturing Irvine OF fax tow, be pur-
chased and put in operation as soon
as possible.
Resolved: That we demand the
resignation of the present board of
prison managers as we have no con-
fidehce in them and we believe that
they will spare no effort to make the
manufacture OF Irvine at the states
prison a failure.
Resolved: That the Alliance cam
paign central committee did cease to
exist at the close of the last election
in 1S9O.-Standard.
The following was the first resolu-
ton, left off by the Standards:
"Resolved: That we endorse the
action of the Executive Committee
of the Minnesota State Farmers
Alliance, in denouncing the late cam
paign committee and declaring it's
duties ended"

If the workingmen and farmers OF
this land were to devote little time
to politics one or two evenings
OF each week-they would find that
in a very short time they would be
better off. They produce all the
wealth OF this country, and that
they are not all in easy circumstan-
ces goes to show that some one is
living off the products of their labors
without giving an equivalent in re-
turn. This has been done through
evil legislation and through lack of
good, wholesome and much needed
legislation. The business men, far
mers and workingmen-the great
middle class-have believed that the
science of money, and other live and
important questions, were too deep
for the farmers and laborers.-Work-

There is a clearly defined rumor
afloat that the democratic party
owns and controls the "State"-
that Lamb merely exchanged his
State-house appointment for an
other under new patronage. Null
Ter is a democratic employe in the
State-house, Valesch is an employ in
the State house-Eva Mcdonald was
a democrat, and Warren is a man OF
whom the whole alliance is sick and
weary on account of his mysterious
political relations. We would like to
hear the States opinion OF Mr.. Mer-
riam and of the democratic party,
categorically stated. There is not
an old party wire-puller in Minneso-
ia who does not brag up that sheet
and one Of it's officers stated that
it must have help or 20 up the
spout. That was three months ago.
1t certainly gets no support from
real alliance men. And as a labor
organ the "Union' of Minneapolis is
worth a million of it. We regard the
State as the rottenest old compound
of alliance treason-supported to be-
tray the Peoples Party. Last week,
with thousands OF columns of al
lance matter at hand, it put in a
half-column editorial from the
"Globe!' on the democratic pros
poets and policies of the northwest
against free coinage-and made no
comments thereuDOn.
