A Country Legislator.

You can always detect the very
rural member of the legislature. He
is one of your solid, practical men,
with no romance and very little non
sense, being business from the ground
up. He has fair idea of his import
ance, and is therefore on hand with
bills of all kinds, in order to prove to
his constituents that he is not fritter
ing away his time in flirting with the
typewritists and wearing out toboggan
slides. He catches the visual organ
of Mr.. Speaker every time, and when
he catches it he hangs on to it until
the COWS came home. For he knows
a good thing when he sees it, and is
therefore, like the rest of his fellow
citizens, partial to The Saint Paul &
Duluth Railroad, better known as
The Duluth Short Line, because he
knows, as they know, that it is pre-
eminently the best line. to take when
coming between those double twin
cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis,
Duluth and West Superior, as it offers
the finest service and makes close con-
nections for all points beyond. AL
ways take The Duluth Short Line.

EDITOR GREAT WEST
There is one point relating to pub
lie affairs which does not seem to re-
ceive general attention. In a coun-
try like ours, any measure that bene-
fits the Masses must result in
strengthening the government, for the
simple reason that the people are the
government. And any measure that
tends to impoverish the masses must
ultimately result in the destruction of
q just government. Therefore, the
only way to ascertain the advisability
of government loans on lands, of
government ownership of railroads,
OF the sub-treasury plan, ETC., is by
ascertaining whether the masses would
be benefited by them or not. 1 am
satisfied that they would benefit the
people and strengthen them. In my
opinion, the fact that only the drones
kick against these common peoples
ideas, is alone sufficient cause to sus-
pect that the drones perceive in these
ideas the agents that would compel
them to dig for their own living.
There is one side to the sub-treasury
which has received very little atten-
ton, namely, that it would afford
laborers clubs the chance to buy their

first necessities direct from the farm
ers without the intervention of COM
bines; this fact has not however es-
capped the attention of combines, and
therefore their consistent row.
The pretence that warehouses would
cost too much is nothing but feint.
Here is the proof:
We had a good system of threshing
our grain by horse power, but we
threw it aside, bought and kept pay
ing for steam threshing rigs although
they are four times as high as horse
power rigs of the same,capacity and
we could not be induced to readopt
the old system. Now the costs of the
subtreasury plan would be almost
nothing when compared with the cost
of the change from the old threshing
system to the new, but the good re-
suits would be much greater, for the
one takes unnecessary toll from faith
fpl workers, Though they are animals)
and the other would take unjust bur-
dens from intelligent workers, by COM
polling large per cent of drones to
live at their own trouble.

passenger business, or gives more at
tention to the comfort and convenience
of passengers than 1.-THE Northwestern

Delegates to Cincinnati.

EDITOR GREAT WEsT:-I agree with
Mr.. Poore that Minnesota, ought
to be we'll represented at the
Cincinnati meeting, next May.
As the time is short, and the expense
will be great, the seven delegates are
perhaps all we can send unless some
OF the larger counties should choose
to send delegates of their own. For
the second congressional district I sug-
gest the name OF Mr.. C. c. Goodenow,
OF Pipestone Co., and pledge one dollar
toward our delegates expenses and
so cents for expenses OF delegates at
large.
J. H. MAXWELL.
We agree with Mr.. Maxwell that
Mr.. Goodenow would make an ex-
cellent delegate to Cincinnati. He is
man who would fairly represent the

EDITOR GREAT WEST
Your postal notifying me OF the ex-
piration of my subscription for the
GREAT WEST is received. Ihad not
given the matter much attention I'M
til l found, upon getting my mail at
the Office, that the GREAT WEST was
not among my other papers. Now,
since it furnishes me with the most in
teresting reading that l can get, can
not afford to do withoutit it. We, most
of us hereabout, are glad of the way
our Alliance members are working in
the Legislature for a beginning, and
feel assured that before the close of the
session the farmers will have gained
some important concessions. Some
of the old partyites around here are
still harping about the way capital
will be driven out of the country.
Farmers cannot afford to pay 10 or
II per cent. for the use of money, to
aid them in their operations, without
youth and leaving themselves desti-
tute in their old age. So perhaps it
would be better to have the question
solved at once and prepare for g. new
order of things. l find that your
opinion of the proceedings of the State
Alliance Meeting is endorsed by nearly
every Alliance man I have talked
with-more especially with regard to
the state lecturer.
At..all events the farmers, if reluctant
at first to enter the political field, are
now in it to stay, and as they cannot |
very well be kept out it might be as
we'll for the old political ringsters to
arrange their business to suit the adj
ditional quantity. JAMES WNRAM.
I'VE trust, however, that everyone
will lend their assistance to the State |
Lecturer while she is not the actual |
official, she will perform the duties to |
the best of her ability:

THE FARM MORTGAGE.

1t was bright and lovely day,
AS ever the sun shOne ON,
A poor, worn farmer toiled away,
Working in his corn.
His ragged children near him stood
His wife not far away
All thinking of the mortgage
They were called upon to pay.
The sun it shone so gloriously,
So beautiful and bright,
On such day you could forget
1t ever had been night.
The farmer cared not for the scene,
And to his wife did say:
"The mortgage, it has been foreclosed
And we must move away"
His worn out wife, she sighed and said:
Oh how can this thing be;
Welabored hard, toiled night and day,
And lived most frugally-
Half clad our children went to school
But still we thought that they
Would have hometo call their own
Upon future day.
When we were children years gone by,
And everything looked bright,
We told of how our fathers fought
For liberty and right!
1naI 1reeOOmS Joy ana happiness
Should to their children come,
Then, oh how can it come to this,
We are driven from our home!
But since the days our fathers lived,
Long years they have rolled by
We met and celebrated well,
On each fourth of July
We told of what our country was,
And what it yet would be;
But now, dear wife, we know too well
What it is for you and me.
We worked so hard, and did our best,
We could not bear the load.
Trusts, tariffs, and taxation,
Have stalled us on the road.
That better day that is to come,
We may not live to see;
The prospect surely is not bright,
Dear wife for you and mel"

This Alliance is in favor of the

The Campaign Fund.
MARIETTA, Jan. 25, 1891

EDITOR GREAT WEST
You struck the keynote in your
comments on the payment by the
state convention of that campaign
fund upon the unquestioneds statement
of a single individual
Who is Albert Warren, and what
has been his training that his word
should be taken for the disbursement
of one thousand dollars, perhaps to
one-half as many persons, when every
officer of the Alliance is compelled to
account by vouchers and items? Not
a member of that convention would
pay an account of his own ofone-tenth
that amount without an account of
when, to whom, and for what purpose,
it was paid.
John Lathrop was kicked out OF
Office, out Of the alliance, and all over
the state, for doing just what that
convention did as body.
If it was inexcusable negligence and
carelessness on his part to do business
in such loose way, then it was wrong
on the part of the convention to en-
dorse by it's own acts that for which it
punished him, and which would be a
reflection on the business capacity OF
a convention OF school boys.
l do not wonder that the politicians
call us lunatics when we furnish them
with such exhibitions of folly.

There has not been a sale on call at the
Grain Exchange this week. 1t is not often
that buyers are so cautious as they are at this
time. The future of cereals is a very uncer-
tain quantity, and there is little inclination
to buy ahead of immediate wants. Corn is
firm, oats are quiet, and wheat is steady.
Choice hay is firmly held. Receipts as bull
letined at the Grain Exchange, 35 carloads,

of flour, of ear corn, i of seed, / of feed.
