Mower County Transcript: Mil
lions of money have been issued from
the printing presses OF the Argentine
Republic, and yet that country is in
an almost hopeless financial condi-
ton. Donnelly or some wiser member
OF the Peoples party should arise
and explain what the trouble is.
The Transcript is one OF the Hall
Eva-McGee- Hompers, a rank repub-
lican serpentine bull-pup OF the
Grand Old .Greasers. The editor
knows well enough that he lied in the
above-and lies by the yard from
pure love of meanness. We will in
form this republican plug, that no
printing press in the Argentine Re
public, or anywhere else, ever issued
one dollar OF money for that country
other than national bank bills,
such as the Transcript rooster loves
SO we'll. But then what's the use OF
making statements to men who are
paid to lie.

and one-half hours. In fact the
plank seats themselves groaned:
ooh, if that crank would only stop
grinding"
. In the evening there was a fine hall
full OF the city people. Now the
townsmen are very much opposed to
the alliance movement! Few towns
in. the state are more distinctly hos

Bro. Hodges, with the Herald. But
after a talk of a little over an hour,
we could feel the invisible presence OF

we earnestly believe that a Citizens
Alliance could be organized there.

New York, June 22.-The national
executive silver committee met at
the Hoffman house. There we're
present Gen. A. ]. Warner of Ohio,
chairman; Francis G. Newlands of
Nevada, vice-chairman; L. M. Rum
sey of Missouri and Lee Crandall of
Washington, secretary. Senators
Jones and Stewart OF Nevada we're
at the hotel and gave the Com
mittee the benefit of their advice.
As result of their deliberations the
committee gave out the following
address to the public:
''The national executive silver
committee desires to call the at
tention of the country to the object
lesson which is being exhibited in the
desperate struggle Of the great finan-
cial institutions on both sides of the
Atlantic to increase the gold reserve
to avoid bankruptcy and ruin and
that any increase by any one neces-
sarily reduces the reserves of the
other. Why should such a condition
of things exist in a time of profound
peace and abundant harvests? Why
should all the great banking insti-
buttons attribute stagnation and
hard times to scarcity of money,
while they are exerting all their pow
er to make money scarce by adher-
ing to the gold standard, when they

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The alliance farmers met last Sat-
urday, and after electing John Penn
berton as Chairman and C. H. John
son, Sec'y, proceeded to consider the
Irvine question. In addition to the
samples sent us by the Business
Agency there were several samples
from other places. Bro. Dan. Dugan,
of Woodstock, stated that the
Woodstock Alliance had received
samples but they we're inferior in
quality and higher in price than the
ones sent out by the Agency, Bro.
Perry Allen, OF Troskey said it was
the duty of the alliance to support
the agency, even if we had to pay a
little more. In fact, Bro. Allen de-
serves much credit for the able man
mel in which he defended our cause.
C. H. johnson, of Pipestone, moved
that the meeting proceed to make
necessary arrangements to purchase
their Irvine from the Business Agency
which was seconded by 6 or 8 at
once. On being put to vote it was
carried without a dissenting voice.
On motion Bros. A. D. Ferris, Perry
Allen and C. 81. johnson, were elected

The editor "broke faith with him
self last week, and attended two
county rallies, and made four cam
paign speeches. 1t looks rather bad
to see man faithless to himself
but the pleasure of the wickedness
was very great.
The Blue Earth County meeting
was held at Mankato last Thursday.
It rained and it rained just before the
meeting, so that probably not more

siderable business was transacted,
and as Gen. Baker declined to be led
first to the slaughter DR.. Fish climb

the verbal lightnings for nearly two
hours. Gen. Baker followed, and
begged pardon for not taking Gov.
Merriam by the neck in the last cam
paign, and holding him over hell
claiming that he had allowed Tams
Bixby to draw too much salary on the
R. R. Commission, and then appoint
ed him to something better!
In the evening the editor talked
fat money to a small audience of cit
liens.
Saturday Bro. Hodges, OF the
Sleepy Eye Herald, took him in tow,
in the handsome village OF the droop-
ing eyelids, the village of handsome
residences and splendid public school

Again the rain came down-the
forenoon was lowry and gloomy, and
it rained a little at noon. But just

out, over 400 farmers, farmers

Alien contract labor is being i'm
ported on an extensive scale in de-
fiance of the law. Eleven Austrians are
now detained at New York because
they are brought over under con-

workers have been recently brought
from Bremen to Peterson, n. j., that

In the report of the Lincoln Coun-
ty Alliance, our correspondent wishes
us to state if the Financial Report of
the Campaign Committee was ever
sent to the G. W.
No, because there has never been
any report. The Warren referred to
sent in some totals OF receipts
which OF course were valueless. Long,
long afterward, after nearly all the
active alliances had demanded an ac-
counting, in fact at the recent meet
ing OF the Executive Committee,
some one, perhaps the Secretary,
handed in a Statement" We think
the estate" published it as ere
port" 1t gave the above mentioned
totalized receipts and then some
Jumped off expenses to balance. The
Executive Committee was furnished
nothing further to audit or examine.
To call such a totalized statement
a report is of course nonsense. Men
do not do business in that way.
Anybody can sit down and write up
Printing, SO much; Speakers, SO
much; Total, so much Business is
business in this world, and people do
not put public funds into the hands
OF such men and accept such bare
statements. We would have opened
up six columns of the GREAT WEST
to report. If we ever received even
the statement we do not remember
it. 1t is OF not the slightest value.

done. But the leaders, R. j. Hall and

the latter, who has such a checkered
career in the proceedings of the last

What Militia are for.

The workingmen OF America owe a
great deal of gratitude to Gen. Ord
way, commanding the militia of the
District of Columbia. This jinnerl
loaded up his mouth with words and
fred broadside which left no doubt
whatever of what militia are for.
He distinctly settled the question
once for all, and now even fools know
what they pay taxes to keep up
militia for. Is it to repel an invad-
ing foe? Certainly not, for there is
nothing of the kind to be done, and
if there were the Army, Navy and
volunteers would do it. Is it to
keep the peace and prevent mobs of
gentlemen hanging or shooting peo-
pie, as at New Orleans, or mobs of
soldiers from killing prisoner, as
at Seattle? Surely not, as experience
has demonstrated. Why then, do
we pay millions annually for militia?
1t might be an unsettled question if
jinnerl Ordway had not informed us.
Militia are to shoot workingmen
who desire to revel in the wild
and wanton luxuriance of wealth
which dollar a day OF wages would
bring them, and strike when they
have to accept seventy-fve cents.
To do this service for society, says
the jinnerl, should be not only
duty but a pleasure to the militia.
Thanks, jinnerl, for the informa-
tiOn.-UnknOWn exchange.
