The Minneapolis millers and elevator
men are altogether too avaricious-take
altogether too much fatherly interest
in the welfare of the farmers of the
northwest. The city is just now up in
arms over the new grain rates estab-
lished by all the railroads leading from
the great fields of the Dakotas to Min
neapolis and Duluth. The rates are the
same to both cities. Minneapolis kicks
and says that this is a discrimination
against her that her people will resent
and it is minated that instead of the
proposed harvest festival to be held soon
there should be a day of fasting. Min
neapolis is a milling center only. It is
not a sea port or a lake port. She re-
quires but 100000 bushels of wheat
for milling purposes. She cannot deny
that the balance of the grain surplus
should go to the seaboard. Duluth is the
natural shipping point and the price of
wheat there is always five cents higher
than at Minneapolis. The new rates
means that the farmers of the northwest
| will get five cents more a bushel for
their wheat than they otherwise would,
and it is not at all likely they will join
Minneapolis in her kick. However, the
more the farmers get for their grain the
more money they will have to buy goods,
and the Twin cities are just o fur
nishing the goods. Thus Minneapo-
lis will gain from n source a portion
of what it loses in another direction.
Nature has done some things for Duluth
and Superior that Minneapolis cannot
overcome by enterprise. There is no
sense in the farmers of the northwest
paying five cents a bushel to Minneapo-
lis in order that that city may control
the wheat market and the wheat ship
ments. Nature has made Duluth and
Superior the legitimate outlet for North
Dakota wheat surplus and it is Is sure
to go there as water is to find it's level.

may be blessed with a grain and are.
house law, theprovisions of which will be

North Dakota wheat will be distinctively
known all over the world, and under he1
own system of inspection and grades
this state will take the position it is now
entitled to-at the head of the column
Then will the North Dakota farmer gel
the full value for his grain, the exactions
of the middlemen being cut down to the
minimum,

The alleged discrimination in freight
rates in favor of Duluth as against Min
neapolis continues to worry the latter
city. The Evening Tribune of Saturday
takes a very gloomy view of it. It says:
It is almost needless to say that such
3 principle once finding permanent adop.
ton would soon shut the doors of every
-four mill in Minneapolis.
There appears to be no reason why
this iniquitous principle of discrimina.

coming a way station on the road to Du-

coming a way station on the road to Du-
luth.
1t is claimed that all the roads run
ming to Duluth make the same rate from
Minnesota and North and South Dakota
points to Duluth as they do to Mime
apolis. In other words, they haul the
wheat from Minneapolis to Duluth-162
miles-free of charge. The Minneapolis
mlllers have to pay about Is cents a bar
rel on flour from Minneapolis to Duluth,
and the Duluth millers will have just
that much advantage over them in ship
ping their flour to the markets of the
world. The Great Northern railway has
always made almost the same rate to Du-
luth as at present, but the other roads
have had to make a similar rate to COM
pete. If the roads are discriminating
as alleged, Minneapolis can now SYM
pathize with Fargo, jamestown, Bis
marck and other North Dakota cities
which have been thus Disseminated
against in favor of the Twin cities. For
instance, the rate on a car load of goods
shipped from Portland to Fargo is the
same as from Portland to st. Paul and
back to Fargo. Talk about discrimina-
tion, the Duluth rate amt a circumstance
to this discrimination against North
Dakota. Duluth is paying from 2 to 8
cents per bushel more for wheat than
Minneapolis, and of course it is going
there. st. Paul looks on complacently
at the squirmings of the Flour City and
thinks she is not such a rival as she
might be. Minneapolis has all along
spurned the offer of commercial or any
other kind of union with st. Paul, but
she may yet be glad to combine with her
for the commercial interests of the Twin
Cities. The Flour City has one card yet
to play which it is thought will bea win
ner, and that is to make Gladstone a
shipping point for her flour. Gladstone
is on the 500 line on the North shore of
Lake Michigan. It is claimed that
the boats could make three trips to
Gladstone for one to Duluth, and that
the longer haul by rail would be offset
by the quicker water transportation. The
effect of this discrimination upon the
Northwestern farmer will be that he will
get a better price for his wheat than
heretofore. The Minneapolis millers will
have to meet the Duluth prices. More
competition among grain buyers is what
will give the farmer a fair price for his
wheat. And then, with more railroad
competition, he will not have to pay all
his profits to have his wheat hauled to
market Millers and railroads are just
like the farmers and the rest of the world
they are anxious to make all the money
they can. Wherever there is a dollar to
to be made, there is always some one to
make it. If there is such a vast amount
of money to be made in milling or rail-
roading there will be more capitalists to
put money into these pursuits, and in
order to get business they will have to
cut rates. But it takes time to bring
about these results.

members of the alliance who are farm

cities. 1t refers to the alliance orpaniza-

that these city alliances are owned bv
the plutocrats. The thing is so absurd
on the face Of it that it scarcely needs
refutation, but lest some farmers who
seldom meet these city labor men NAV
have their suspicious aroused by this
breaker-up of united resistance to the
money power we would inform them
that 40 out Of every 80 of these city alu-

What impression can any sensible

An Independents Order.

We see that an effort is making to in
duce southern alliancemen to attend
the meeting in Cincinnati to form a
third party. We think the alliance
should maintain its distinct character
as non-partizan agricultural organiza-
ton. This it cannot do if it goes into a
third party. We think the alliance
should continue to hold its present in
dependent position, in order that it's
votes may be cast for the men and party
that give surest promise of bringing in
the reforms we demand The alli-
anee will be true to the purposes of
its organization only SO long as 1t re-
fuses TO antagonize any and all parties,
as such. We demand measures Of re-
form that are for the benefit of all, and
we have the numbers to enable us to
enforce our demands. Let us, there
fore, stand apart until all the parties
shall haze formulated their principles
and policies and shall have brought out
their candidates. Then let us meet
and give those candidates our support
who shall have declared in favor OF our
demands In this way we can force
the parties to recognize our demands
and support our wishes. BY standing
apart we do not mean that our people
should refrain from attending the pri-
maries They can attend those meet
ings with great advantage to our move
ment, when their numbers are large
enough to enable them to compel fair
play. Raleigh N. c. Progressive

Stephens, 1T will not endanger the
success of the democratic party The
alliance in my state is in control of the
democrats. The head men in the or
ganization are democrats first and then
alliance men. No man in recent years
has had the power in Missouri that is
enjoyed by U. S. Hall, the president of
the alliance. Hall was lawyer and
practiced for several years in Kansas
City. He tired of the law and went to
farming He Is an able man and ran
the last democratic convention to suit
himself One of the most popular men
in the state was candidate
for railroad commissioner Hall
found man running locomotive and
told him to come up to the convention
for an hour, and nominated him for
railroad commissioner. No one in the
convention had heard of this engi-
neer half an hour before. He was NOM
mated simply because Hall wanted him.
Hall Is a candidate for governor and
great many think he will be successful
Whoever is nominated by the democrats
will be member of the alliance.
''The fight for the governorship is GO
ing to be very lively. Ex-Secretary of
Agriculture Norman J. Colman and
Congressman Stone will be candidates,
and in case Congressman Hatch is not
elected speaker he may also be
"a candidate. He is strong with
the farmers, and has been of
of great service to them while he was
chairman of the agricultural committee
in congress. The republicans of my
state are attempting to make out that a
fight is being carried on between Sena-
tor Cockrel and Gov. Francis for the
senatorship. There is no fight between
these gentlemen. No one is any closer
to Gov. Francis than 1 am, and I have
never heard any intimation that he in
tends opposing Mr.. Cockrell for the SEN
atorship

Farmers Alliance are almost unani-
