No Fear Of the Farmersi

Some Of our eastern friends seem to
fear that the growing influence of the
agricultural states and of the farmers
alliances threatens the stability of gov
eminent and the security Of business,
They forget that this government wa
founded by farmers, and perhaps they
never knew what is the fact, that the
strength Of the conservatism OF the
country is in its farming class.
The farmers are aroused and indie-
nant. and they have reason to be. They
will go into the campaign of 1899 z, 600, 900
strong. and the balance Of power they
hold will decide it. If Democratic lead
ers are wise the decision will be of i'm
mediate benefit to the country, but it
will be OF ultimate benefit in any event.

A Farmer Pputectjouist.

Mr.. Ben Terrell. of Texas, Farmers
Alliance lecturer, is reported as follows
in recent issue of The Cincinnati En-
quirer:
Mr.. Terrell deprecates the idea that
the farmers demand cheap prices for the
goods they buy, for, says he, if they buy
cheap they would have to sell cheap, and
what the farmer wants is not cheap
prices, but high ones. He says that the
higher the tariff the better of the coun-
try will be. What the farmer and the
country need" says Mr.. Terrell. 'sis
money, and plenty Of it. Give the coun-
try this and make the tariff as high -
possible, and this will be q prosperous
and happy nation"

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Ifeel a deep interestin the outcome
OF the present situation in your
state. There are evidently $1,000
liberty loving voters in your state.
How l would like to shake them by
the hand. Among them are to be
found some OF the brainest intellects
of the land. Here in South Dakota
the Farmers Alliance met at Nit
chell, not long ago and elected their
former president H. L. Loucks, with
out one dissenting vote. How does
this show along with Minnesota?
The "Plutes'' here have been trying
to advise the alliance in this matter
the same as the ssPlutes" of MINI.
are trying to do,-in selecting our
president. The Alliance acted upon
common sense business principles,
and selected him who has been
tried, and whom by his record has
shown his interest and love for the
principles at stake. Your $1,000
free men have an opportunity to do
likewise instead OF listening to those
deceivers who are advancing person
al and political ends. Show solid
front: show the buldozers that you
know who you want and who you
don't want. The Minnesota ALI
ance have evidently had enough
dough-headism at it's helm:

It IS said that enough farmers have
been elected to the next congress to con-
troll it by holding the balance Of power.
However this many be, it is genuine
fact that old ''hayseeds" and ''clodhop-

about that beautiful Capitol at Wash

knows but that we may inaugurate an
other farmer president like Washington,

Hector Alliance No. 6O4, met Dec.
13, 1890, and after transacting OF
routine business considered the OBJ
iects of the Alliance and after con-
sidering the objects and interest OF
it's members passed the following
resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the Hector ALI
ance No. 6O4 demand that the salar-
les of the county officers of Renville
County shall not exceed $4,000 per
month or not exceed any similar vo-
cation in life in Renville Co.
That Hector Alliance ask the State
alliance to pass resolution advo-
eating the passage OF a State law es-
tablishing an income tax on all in
corners of $4,000 and upward.
That we request the state alliance
to adopt the resolutions adopted by
the National Alliance and l. Q.
That we demand that money shall
be taxed where it is loaned.
We demand that our next legisla-
ture shall cause the money now paid
for the right to sell Intoxicating
liquors to be paid into the county
treasury, and not to the Village
Treasurer as at present.
We demand that legal interest
shall be reduced to 5 per cent and by
contract to Z per cent.
We have had enough OF Hall,

change, or the alliance will be thing
of the past. w. F. GRUMMoUs,

There is much advice given on

not by the shepherd.

sheep raising is all profit with little
expense and trouble, get rid of that
notion at once, for the first thing to
do is to put q sheep fence round q

The poultry need exercise in winter il
confined in yard. One way to give it
to them is to tie cabbage or sheaf of
wheat just out of their reach, so they
will be obliged to jump for it. Another
way is to leave a good sized part of their
yard Uttered with leaves. Distribute
corn or other grain food to them by
showering it over this space and then
rakng the leaves carefully upon it. The
hens will be obliged to scratch to get the

Points Of Interest.


Palace chicken cars are the newest
thing out. Tens of thousands of fowls
have this fall been shipped in them from
the west, eastward and elsewhere. The
cars of one live poultry transportation
company contain $500 chickens each.
Upon the car roofs are tanks of water
holding $50 gallons each, from which
water is let down in troughs to the fowls
in the car. There is some humanity in
this method of shipment, and the fowls
arrive at their destination tender and
juicy, if they have not already been re-
duced to India rubber in the start by
some defective incubator process.
For some reason there was unusual
shrinkage in the feeces of western wool
the past season. The feeces contained
more than the ordinary quantity of gum,
grease and sand, eastern buyers said.
Two thousand five hundred dollars is
good price to pay for a jack, yet there
are some in America that have been sold
for that price.
In the cattle sales at Chicago and else
where during the season one fact stood
out prominent: Prime fat cattle were in
good demand, went Of briskly and
brought good prices, while poor cattle
glutted the market and could hardly be
worked off at any price at times. It Is
a fact for the beef raisers to ponder.
There is no reason why America should
not produce as prime beef and mutton
as Great Britain does. We have not
done SO as yet, except in a few isolated
cases. But care and breeding will work
miracles and make American beef equal
to any. Care and breeding are the
words.
