His Neck Broken.
Special to the Gazette.

TEMPLE. BELL COUNTY, TEX, Nov 90
Emanuel Kraft, an elderly well-to-do Ger
man and quite popular about his home in
the eastern portion of this county, came to
the city in two. horse wagon drawn by a
span of mules. On mis- return, after he had
almost reached his home, his team became
frightened and ran away, upsetuing the
wagon, throwing Mr.. Kraft to the ground
and breaking his neck. He was dead when
those VINO witnessed the fall from short
distance reached him. The team ran till
the vehicle was torn to splinters and one of
the mules was so badly cut on wire fence
that it soon bled to death.

SUMTER, Mimi, April 18th. 1891.
You are hereby notified that
q special meeting Of the Mcleod
County Alliance will be held at Glen
coe, Tuesday, May 5th, at one
o'clock, at court house hall, for the
purpose of making arrangements to
purchase Irvine, farm machinery, etc.
Each alliance is requested to send
FIVE delegates, a list of all members
who have paid their dues to the state
alliance, with amount of Irvine need
ed by each member, and new harvest
era needed in each alliance. By the
efforts of the alliance the Irvine trust
appears to be busted" and we can
get our Irvine this year cheaper than

Prison Twine.

We are very glad to publish the
following encourages us to look
for success there.
SALTWATER, Mimi, April ID, 81.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
take the liberty of sending you
for publication the results of my per-
sonal observation in regard to the
binding Irvine being made here at
the prison. / believe you are inter-
ested in everything that will be OF
use to the farmers of this state. I
think the farmers have settled the
"Trust," SO far as binding Irvine is
concerned. The little plant at the
prison will be more effective than all
the laws passed by Congress.
ANDREW RICHMOND.
The following is the statement re-
ferred to-:
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The manufacture of binding Irvine
at the State Prison in Saltwater is
now receiving the attention of the
farmers in general throughout the
State. The warden informs me that
he is receiving large number OF in
quiries from all parts of this State
and Iowa. At the last meeting of the
Washington County Alliance, a
committee was appointed to visit
the prison and inspect the Irvine now
being made there; perhaps it might
interest your readers to have a re-
port from q committee composed OF
practical farmers. We visited the
prison and were taken by Mr.. Gar
vim. the Warden, through a large
room where the machinery was all
running, and it appeared to be doing
good work. The convicts seemed to
handle everything readily, consider
ing the short time the machinery has
been in operation. The Irvine now
being manufactured is superior to
any Irvine we have ever seen made
from the same material. Il is very
smooth, and will average over 600
feet to the pound. We saw several
tests showing tensile strength oil
100 to 1872 pOunds-in fact it is too
good. I believe the farmers OF Min
nesota can be assured that the
manufacture of binding Irvine at the
State Prison is no longer an expert.
ment, but an assured success. We
do not see any reason why the State
should not make all the Irvine needed
by the farmers of the entire North.

The following clipping shows that
the railway employees are organizing
against us:
W1NoNA, April 6.-The Railroad
Employees club has been re- organized
here with over 100 members. Two
years ago the club was first organized
by Harry P. Robinson, but for lack
of encouragement and interested lea
ders it soon lapsed into nothingness.
The resurrection was effected last
night. Present from outside of the
city were F. w. Little and John
Copeland, of St. Paul: first vice presi-
dent of the order in the state; f. R.
Bristol, of Minneapolis; district or
ganizer, W. E. Perry, of st. Paul;
general secretary, j. McCutcheon, OF
st. Paul; state treasurer, w. G.
Thorpe, Of Minneapolis; district or
ganizer, Mr.. Harry Barnes, of St.
Paul, representing the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen. The meet
ing which these men attended here
was large one. very enthusiastic
and attended only by railway EN-
ployes. President j. ]. Shanesey
presided. Speeches were made by all
the men from the twin cities, gener-
ally in favor of a higher rate OF wages
for the railway employe, and resolu-
tions were passed urging political ac-
tion on the part of every member of
the clubs throughout the state
against proposed railway legislation.

and doubtful agencies. II regard
to the purchase Of the paper, very
large majority Of the alliances have
voted against it. This is not q mat
ter Of serious regret to Us:
$50 far the LEADER has hesitated
to express itself upon the question Of
the purchase Of the GREAT WEST,
by the alliance. Our knowledge of the
printing business, is too limited for
US to say anything upon the question
OF value of the plant. We don't
know what it is worth, but from
what information we have received
ofwhat makes a newspaper valuable,
we are satisfied that it is worth all
that the owners ask for it. But it
seems to us that it is of great impor-
tance to the alliance that they own
the paper. Too much credit cannot
be given the GREAT WEST, for the
upbuilding of the Alliance interests
in the State. 1t has labored in sea-.
son, and out Of season, for.the enlight-
eminent of the people, and has ex-
posed the manner in which they are
being swindled out Of millions an
nually, in the matter of exposing the
wheat steal, the transportation ques-
ton, the cost of construction of rail-
roads and the management thereof,
it has shown wonderful zeal and has
by the most unimpeachable evidence,
brought to the eyes of the world the
internal working of the most gigan-
tic robberies every perpetrated upon
an enterprising and loyal people.
No other alliance paper in the State
has the means to do for the farmer
what the GREAT WEST has done, and
it is not likely that anyone else will
make the venture upon the scale that
Drs. Fish and Frain have done. 1t
is essential to the welfare of the ALI
ance, that the paper continue in the
course it has pursued, aud that DR..
Fish is the man to edit the depart
ments which he reserves the privilege
to manage and control. The people
want the facts. and the G. w. has
shown it's ability to obtain them,
and we know of no better way to
convince the people of their need of
being educated in the we'll grounded
principles of the organization than
to keep the facts before them. After
the great moral and political victory
gained last fall, the Alliance must ex-
pect from now on to the close of the
national campaign of 1892, that the
most persistent Misrepresentation
and abuse will be heaped upon the
rank and file, and can rest assured
that no stone will be left unturned,
and all that intrigue and chicanery
can do to distract and bring des-
truction to the organization, will be-
done. The G. w. cannot be bribed,
neither will it subordinate itself to
party fealty. Thepresent revolution
sprang from the people, they are in
dependent and look to an unsub-
sidized press for that information
which they must have to meet the is
sues OF the hour and act upon them
in an intelligent manner. The press
must point the way, and then the
leaders will find the people ready to
act and know whether they are being
led into ambush, or marshalled upon
that vantage ground which equal
and exact justice entities them to oc-
cupy. For these and other good
reasons we think it a good move to
buy the GREAT WEST"

Torch:
The present silver law (of 189O)
provides for the purchase of $500
ounces of silver each month. Does it
say coin that amount each month?
Not as we understand it. Still it
provides a market for silver to that
amount, does it not? If an increased
market is provided for a commodity
will it not increase it's market value?
That is well understood and settled
fact. Would the free coinage of sill
yer do more than that? And yet the
gold-bug advocates and their subser-
Went tools of the press say it would
bring disaster on the country and
drive gold out. The Secretary has
never been able to purchase the full
amount OF silver each month re-
quired by law, and yet we are told
that "free coinage of silver would de-
stroy all values and flood the coun-
try with worthless money" Let
us see: If we had million dollars
more silver coined each month, than
that provided by law to be purchased
and which has, so far, failed to be
fulfilled-or say a silver coinage of
$5,4OO,OOO per month, that would
be less than 81 per capita per annum,
or less than 8 cents per month in
crease for each inhabitant or an
average of 40 cents month for each
familyl 1t would take 50 years to
give us per capita of $50. Query:
How long would it take, at that
rate, to food the country with this
legal tender for all debts public and
private, had we honest men in Con-
gross who would make it so, and
give us that amount?

ST. PAUL, March 80, 1891.-My
Dear Friend:-Many thanks for your
kind words; they are very acceptable.
l think time will demonstrate that I
mean to do right as l understand
the right, and that I am less in
fluenced by vanity or selfishness than
nine-tenths Of my brethren. I have
very kind feeling towards the coun-
try editors-much kinder than they
seem to have toward me. I pro-
cured, years ago, for them the exemp-
ton of $4,000, which now protects
them; because our courts had held
that an EDITORS whole exemption
was his lead-pencil. The country edi-
tors should combine together to
represent the interests of the COM
mon people-the producers-and to
break down the influence of such
shameless, grasping, corrupt sheets
as the Pioneer Press, which have not
single feeling in common with the
honest people of the State. Wishing
you all prosperity, / am truly your

and individual effort. Every man
and every woman should be equal
partners in the product OF national
industrial organization.
Hatch, OF Missouri, during the
days Of the late session of Congress,
gave the following sentiments in q
lengthy address:
"The most important of these de
mands' are SO patriotic in principle,
so closely allied to the broad funda-
mental teachings Of the founders Of
our Government that the wonder is
they are not universally accepted
and promptly complied with. Unless
all experience is worthless and hui
man Judgment unreliable the present
financial condition of our country is
critical and immediate future fraught
with CONFUSION and disasters that
will embrace in their destructive con-
sequences all sections of the country
and all classes of citizens.
Mr.. Chairman, had intended to
Gull from the journals of the past
week paragraphs from papers pub
lished in every section of the coun-
try, telling of the closing OF the doors
and failure of a bank here and q
business or commercial house there;
but after keeping it upfor a few days.
the list grew SO appalling that /
gave it up in despair. Every morn
ing's paper is full of accounts of in
situations which have been regarded
as strong as any in the land failing,
and this condition of affairs is not
confined to any particular section of
the country.
In every section of the country
some OF the strongest commercial
houses and strongest institutions of
the country are gong to the wall,
and it is only question of time
when we shall see the repetition of
panic like that OF 1873, only averted
a few weeks ago by the wisdom and
farseeing financial ability of the old
est and strongest institution in the
Old World, the Bank of England, IN
less there is a radical change in the
financial policy OF the Government"

the great bulk IT the business COM
munity by making it impossible for
men Of modest means to compete
against corporations; and the public
seems powerless before this vast ag-
gregate OF private wealth in the
hands Of the few.
The way out is plain enough to
some, and, in our way Of thinking, it
viii soon be plain enough to many.
The business Of the government is to
ensure equal opportunity for labor
and individual effort. Every man
and every woman should be equal
partners in the product OF national
