Let MS Save our Shores.

/ Ever since the Alliance has de-
manded the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver the old party press
have kept up a continual howl that
it would cause the silver of foreign
countries to be dumped on our
shores. The yelp originated in Wall
street and their yalets have repeated
it till it is threadbare. The Indian
apolis Journal and it's satellites have
never let the echo die.
1t was a mistake for the farmers
to demand the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver for the other ma
lions have so much silver they don't
know what to do with it. If we get
free coinage all those countries will
send every ounce OF silver over here
for they have no use for it and are
very anxious to get rid of it. They
will send it here by the ship load and
the men will unload it on our shores
with scoop shovels, and it will slide
down into the water and kill the
fish. Beside that it will make the
land unfit for agricultural purposes.
And again the people will all go
down to the seashores and get such
loads Of it that they will all get bow
legged. But the greatest danger of
all is they are liable to sink the con-
tinent for silver is very heavy met
al. Of course, we had free coinage
for Is years but the foreigners were
ignorant then and did not think of
making our shores the dumping
ground or we would have been de-
stroyed nearly a hundred years ago.
If congress passes the free coinage
bill it would be good thing to en-
large the navy SO sas to be able to
prevent the foreign cusses from
dumping all their silver on our
shores.
If we had all the silver in the world
we would have about $58 per capita,
just about enough to do business on
a cash basis. Gold has been leaving
our shores by the millions and what
pity it is that we have not free
coinage now SO we could place the
blame on the farmers.-Ind. Union,

They Appreciate the q. w.

The GREAT WEST is indebted to
Mr.. Fred Leyh, Secretary Of Bertha
Alliance No. 1881, for an interesting
account which we were unfortunately
unable to publish of an alliance
Fourth OF July celebration over in
Todd County. It was attended by
alliance men and their families from
five alliances. Addresses were deliv-
cred by Mr.. C. F. Bohall, Pres't of
Todd Co. Alliance, D. R. Duncan,
county lecturer and others. The af-
fair was a grand success and demon
strated, says Mr.. Leyh, 'that hay
seeds and mossbacks can enjoy them
selves at such gatherings quite as
well as the 'plutes.'" 1.-The GREAT
WEST" he adds in conclusion, sis
greatly appreciated hereabouts for
the radical stand it takes. May it
always prosper"

Marble Alliance. Lincoln Co.

Whereas, A circular letter was sent
to the chairman Of the Independent
Political Convention held in Cincin-
natl, May 10Th, 1891, by the old
State Central Committee OF the state
of Minnesota, asking said convention
to seat delegates appointed by said
committee, thereby causing trouble
and leading other states to believe
that Minnesota was divided and had
sent a double delegation, when in
fact only one delegate appointed by
said committee was present, and she
claimed she had no credentials from
said committee, therefore be it
Resolved, By Marble Alliance, No.
782, that they denounce the actions
OF said committee in appointing dele

Wants to Preserve Them :.

Willard, Mimi, July II, 1891.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Please send me last weeks paper
l did not get it; and / want every
GREAT WEST since I got burned out.
l wish to get them bound for my
children to read and study after I am
laid away, for I do know there is a
great amount of useful knowledge
contained in them that I think
should be preserved for future gener-
ations to refer to, as regards the
great reformation in state and ma
tional matters now pending; show
ing the rapid growth OF new ma
tional party, it's origin, it's object
and it's true devotion to the princi-
pies of free government. Thank God
there are yet a few heroes left to keep
the ball rolling to it's destination.
And the editor Of the GREAT WEST is
one Of it's boldest heroes, and Igna-
titus Donnelly, who has for the past
25 years faithfully advocated the
cause of the producer and laborer
whenever he had a chance. And to
these two great men, actuated by
pure motives, belongs the praise Of
every alliance man in Minnesota for
defending and keeping in operation
the true principles of the Farmers Al
lance in Minnesota. e. E. WEST.

The report OF the finance commit
tee says the finances OF the Secre-
tary's books fare not in recorded
form since Dec. 20, 1901"
What form, then, for Gods sake?
What ''form" are books in that they
are not subject to inspection on five
minutes notice? Do we understand
that no journal and ledger are kept?
Or if so, that the books have not
been posted since December of last
year!
When will the alliance awaken to
the idea that a Secretary is neces-
sary to successful organizations
especially at $50 a month.

Danger OF Political Ignorance

Editor American Farm News:
When the Farm News of May came
to me l opened my eyes wide.
studied and restudied the prophetic
picture Of the railroad system which
shows it's consequences for 1891
what it will be in '93, and finally in
1895. Gould may be the prince oil
the twentieth century possibly (even
though the United States take the
roads, spoken of in Caesars Col.
umn." This would cause the final
struggle for freedom which would
end the republic, anarchy would
reign supreme and cause the de.
struction of all civilization as proph-
esied in that book.
The political horizon is pregnant
with signs OF it's final fulfillment-or-
ganization OF the money power on
the one side, and of the producers on
the other. The producers will have
the majority in number, but their
representatives are not invulnerable
against bribery, and thus may the
peoples interest yearly be sold to
mammOn.
The producers have organized and
will struggle to conquer, but there
will be many Thomases to sell their
masters and mammOn promises to
come out ahead. Then we may ex-
pect that secret societies will be form
ed and have their secret meetings,
and perhaps all the civilized coun-
tries will unite and strike simultane-
ously and SO suddenly that destruc-
ton will result.
Political ignorance among the pro-
ducers is very great and the neces-
sary struggle for existence will tend
in that direction. 1t will not remain
in the present state, but ignorance
will increase. But how to prevent
this? have for many years pro-
posed to editors of your political
views that in order to meet with final
success in radical measures, pol1ti-
cal schools should be inaugurated in
every club or alliance and political
mission whose duty it should be to
print tracts in pamphlet form in
plain, simple and comprehensive
language and issue it gratis in the
different languages spoken in the
United States showing up the per-
nicious class legislation; the issue OF
greenbacks which was made for the
gold gamblers; the resumption act
that stole from the debtor class and
gave to the creditor class (by which
I was robbed Of about $500 in one
sweep and thereby rendered unable
to pay my debt, and SO lost land Sc
curity which to-day is worth $780,
OOO) and the consequences of that
enactment which stole millions from
the debtor class in the United States
and gave to the already rich.
Such statements, showing the ne
cessity OF organization for self-pro-
lection, put up in pamphlet form
could be read at leisure and contem-
plated. The enormity Of the legal
swindles perpetrated by, or allowed
by, their trusted representatives
thus presented would certainly set
the most lethargic to thinking.

On Idaho ores to eastern Missouri

The rates to Salt Lake are probihi-
