Ink from Used Cotton Waste.

Until recently cotton waste has been
cleaned from the oil and reused, the grease
being considered as useless and thrown
away 1t has been found, however, says
The Paper Makers Circular, that the oil
thus destroyed can be made, after very sim
pie treatment, to yield first class printing
ink, and it has been ascertained that one
ton of this spent waste yields about four
teen hundredwei~ht of oil, from which ink
of an improved ,.ality and reduced price
is manufactured. The refuse is placed in
steam chambers, and a solution of bisul-
phate of carbon, on being pumped into
vessels, disengages the oil and grease, and
after traversing several heated coppers the
grease is soon converted into the varnish
from which printing ink is made.

Flax, in Minnesota, has reached
the remarkably low price OF Csc. per

stand the real cause of this, and are
unaware of the fact that practically
the Standard Oil Company are back

The name OF price and that is the
end of it. Is there a remedy? Yes,
there are two remedies, both attain
able today-but beyond your reach
tomorrow. One is to absolutely
stop fax raising. It ruins the soil,
and it will ruin the farmer who tries
it. Often land will not recover from
two crops Of fax in five years! Stop
raising fax, and you drive the enemy
to the wall. The other remedy is to
put up fax mills yourselves. It can
be done. The mills are not excessive-
~ expensive. It does not require en-
ormous talent. Other fax mills will
furnish the experience. However, the
wisest course is to stop raisiog fax.

In reference to the Forthcoming

we state that it will be a surprise to

sed the record OF Gov. D. during his

thousands of citizens suppose him to
have been but figure. head. They
will awake to the fact that the Usage

strength of his grand manhood there,
and was doubtless the most influen-
tial man in the house at the time

Attention Alliancemeu!

We commend the following note
from Louis Hanson, Sec'y of the
state central Committee of the Peo-
pies Party, to the thoughtful consid-
GRAFTON of every sincere friend of re-
form in Minnesota.
The present week, / send appeals to
all sub-alliances that have not vet
received them, and hope that, as the
harvest and threshing are now al
most completed, and nearly every
farmer in the state has been blessed
with an abundant crop, all will re-
spond literally and SO enable us to
send out a full force OF speakers to
the most remote corners OF the state.
One Labor Organization alone has
sent us over $45. 90, and If each alli-
ance would send us from 50 to SIS it
would go a good way, as we have
nearly 1900 in the state. Hoping
you will respond generally to our ap-
peal. am Fraternally Yours,
LOUIS HANSON.

What Fusion Means.

In every western state the cOndi-
tions that wait upon fusion with the
democratic party are identical. In
every western state land of course in
eastern states) the democratic organ
ization is under the DOSAGE or con-
troll of Tammanyite corruptionists
fully as foul as the republican ma
chine. In Minnesota it means "Me
and Nike" The northwest knows
what that means!
Considerable interest has been
manifested of late, by several alliance
men of character, to find out what
the intent of the ''fusionists" in our
ranks means. And it is clearly
evolved that the Hall Olson Muller
intent is to combine us with party
in this state, of which party 'Me and
Nike are the stomach. It is the
same in other states. In Iowa there
are the democratic fusionists and the
republican. But both are knocked
out of the new party boat, and the
Peoples Party sails on eminently
stronger without the once prominent
Ashbys and that ilk.
In Wisconsin there has not as yet
been much trouble. In Dakota the
iuslon-g gang attempted to seduce the
