The most outrageous thing yet
proposed to increase money in this
country is by John Sherman-to in
crease (1st) the National Debt by is
suing $2OO,OOO,OoO in 2 per cent
bonds-so the people can pay inter-
est to somebody!
(2d). To increase the debts of
the people by letting these bonds So
cure National bank issues. OF course
every dollar that passes the bank
counter means debt to that
amount.
Thus, with debt-making govern
ment by bonds, and a debt making
government by bills, the poor peo-
pie can fill up their belly on debts

Schumacher Wagons.

The Alliance Business Agency has
now secured a jobbers' agency for
one of the largest and best Wagon
Mig. Co.'S in the U. S.-the celebrated
Schurmeier, of St. Paul. The con-
tract includes six styles of farm wag-
ons, including two or three styles OF
Spring Wagons. If you or your
neighbors need a new wagon you
better send at once for circulars and
folders. The best farm wagon in
America at price that will astonish
you tells the story as to the progress
of the Purchasing Agency. This is
one of the greatest forward move
ments the Agency has ever made.
Samples will be kept at 673 Waba-
sha-or parties may go directly to

No CALAMITY In This.

The Buffalo Journal waxeth elo-
quent in the matter, and proposes to
tell us what the girls can't do, thus:
sit simply astonishing that the
gallantry Of those grizzly old grang-
ers should have so far overcome
their good sense and judgment as to
lead them to this foolish, boyish
thing.-What can Miss Eva Nc
Donald say to the farmers of Mime
sofa that will be worth their time
spent in listening to? What can she
know of the principles that underlie
the great questions and issues that
are now before the people? Our
civil institutions and our govern
ment and law are founded on the
necessities and expenses of civilized
men for more thana thousand years.
Our forefathers and men who laid the
foundation of this government, and
who have builded and maintained it,
were learned men, statesmen, who
drew their knowledge from the
worlds store house of knowledge and
experience, and what can this girl
know of these thing or of these prin-
ciples or of this wisdom? 1t does
seem as though the day of dema-
goguery on the one hand and silly
foolishness on the other was at it's
meridian splendor."
Now, b-b-hoy, go slow-have your
gun ready-or those ''grizzled old
grangers" will jam beans into your
ear. They won't see a girl-and
slight one at that-abused. Let us tell
you, Squire, that that comparative
ly uneducated girl can tell you more
in an hour than you have absorbed at
the milk-spout OF republicanism for
twenty years past. We're not much
enthused over Miss Eva's election.
We got off the track, though, rather
than run ''agin her." Eva is not
the son of a carpenter, but she'd
daughter be; and though her child
hood was passed in the Minneapoli-
tan Sodom instead of Bethlehem,
she can tell you something to take
the place of gum in the matter of re-
Fiction. We're not a bit stuck on
the foolishness of electing her State
Lecturer-nor on it's illegality-but
when you abuse the gal-lality of her
intellectually you're perambulating
with your prehensile filaments over
igneous carbon in a high state of
calOrifcatiOn.

There never was any success at
tanned by fusion of one party, with
it's principles, with another party
and different principles. The history
of politics has made that fact as pos
tive as mathematics.
And yet, there was abundant rea-
son for Mr.. Donnelly's master-stroke
in the State Senate of Minnesota.
There may arise such contingencies
in other states. We make this state
ment SO that alliances in other
states will not misunderstood the
movement.
The republican party, from long
lease OF power in this state, under
took to browbeat and bulldose
the alliance members usual.
The democracy made propositions
to the alliance which We're exceeding
fair and honorable-in the giving
and accepting. And the manner in
which the alliance members accepted
the proposition was such as to do
honor to themselves and their con-
stituents. It has been a victory for
alliance men ever since.
The move is not a party fusion-it
is a union OF forces to secure COM
mittees and officials outside the rail-
road gang.
So hard have the railroads fought
this movement now under the lead
ership of MI. Donnelly, that at mid
night their agents have sought the
dark Railways, raped up sleeping
alliance men and democrats and Off
cred them $4,000 for a vote! But
not a man so far has gwen way to
temptation. We are strongly in
clined to believe that the senatorial
combine with the democrats has
been just and judicious-notwith-
standing our intense hostility to
s'fusiOn."
We hope our farmers will not mis-
take this move for 'party action
in general.

Wen it DESIGNED?


We see the money plank of the
State Alliance platform published all
over the state as follows:
81. We favor an increase in the
volume of money equal to the re-
quirements of increasing trade and
business. We demand the free coin
age OF silver and condemn the ''silver
bill" as a fraud upon the people"
This was not as it was offered. AL
though The official proceedings are
in this office we cannot find the Re-
port of committee on resolutions.
The resolution first appeared with
the first clause as follows:
"We favor an increase in the vol
ume of money equal to the require
ments of increasing trade and bust
ness, and without the Intervention OF
banks of issue.''
We so published it in the GREAT
WEST last week. At the best it is a
milk-and-water affair. 1t does not
speak the sentiments of the alliance.
The alliance calls for more money
without waiting for any increase in
trade and business. And it most
emphatically demands the removal
of the National Bank robbery.
We have tried to ferret out this
matter, but utterly fail SO far. Does
the State Alliance of Minnesota want
to go on record as against ever y
farmers organization in the land?

That man Ashby, of Iowa, made the
statement that every plank in the N.
F. A. & |. U. platform was in the
Minnesota platform. was an error.
The Land Loan Bill was en-
phatically endorsed at Ocala, and
the very first words are:
eve demand the abolition of the
National Bank!' This is not in our
platform.
Gen. Baker stated that Mr.. Swayne
was mistaken when he (Swayne) said
the Ocala platform had no "lard" in it
-(favoring adulteration, etc., We
have the official platform, and there
is no 'lard' in it. Mr.. Swayne was
correct. The Misrepresentation of
the N. F. A. & I. .. were many-es-
peclally by Ashby.
We would like to ask that unfor-
tunate man where, in the Minnesota
platform he will find the Land Loan
bill of the Ocala Convention, or any
other ''Convention?" On this ire
mendous issue our state declaration
is as silent as the grave!
Gen. Baker was chairman of that
committee. He can perhaps throw
some light on these matters.
Gen. Baker is not in harmony with
the financial views of the alliance.
Last year the financial plank had to
be reformed by the convention.
With all due respect to the gentle
man from Blue Earth, we suggest
that next year some man be selected
as chairman who really repre-
sents the full intent of the organiza-
ton.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1891-01-16

After the Convention we laid our
hands upon our neglected correspon-
dence with dismay. Some 200 letters
remained unnoted, notwithstanding
fully 800 had been cared for-we re-
fer to the editorial work.
We have read them all overland
find them all earnest and warm in
thework But they ante-date the con-
vention, and SO they are filed away.
This is regretted especially when it
applies to proceedings. Our advice
is to take steps in every county to
establish county alliance paper.
The whole state is too large now for
one paper, with the few noble editors
in the counties, to supply room for
all the proceedings.
At the same time send us a word.
Send us one page OF note, with cleo
ton OF officers and important steps
taken. 1t is easy to edit one page of
note even when in a hurry, and two
pages would be laid aside for more
time. Also keep up with the good
words in business letters.
A word to secretaries: The G. w.
is now going into nearly every town.
ship in the state-but not always to
the Secretary of an alliance. As the
official paper we think it best that
every secretary should have it. Ask
your alliance to take it, sent to your
address, and all official matter will
thereby be known in the alliances.
The GREAT WEST is 'sofficial' only
as to official documents, etc. The
wisdom OF having paper free to
combat even the officials is apparent
to every one. This appointment of
the G. w. is not because the officials
sustain everything we say, but be-
cause we are on the right track, and
have such an overwhelming circula-
ton among the alliances. We send
over 600 to single counties. Now is
the time to get up clubs. Ten SUBJ
scribers for $3.50.

The Caucus Rule.

If we have understood the spirit
and meaning of the Alliance move
ment it has been a direct issue with
the caucus. Is this not SO? Let
every alliance man in Minnesota an
swer this question honestly and
squarely-and take up the matter
in the sub-alliances.
If this be true, is it right for the Al
lance men in the legislature to enter
into binding caucusses? The ALI
ances will not object to the meetings
for consultation to bring about a
common policy, or common candi-
date. But they do object, if we I'M
derstand them Alright, to have any
caucus exert any control over the
votes of those who attend. If a eau
GUS is of no use without control of
individual rights and consciences
and duties, then even the conference
must go.
This evil was illustrated in the leg
islature last week. Mr.. G. P. Carpen-
ter was the candidate for Chief Clerk
by the Alliance members. He is a
long-serving, capable, conscientious
alliance man, who in his paper, (the
Pennington Tribune), had almost
created the alliance sentiment in
that part of Dakota county. He
had experience, having been Chief
Clerk before.
But the caucus ruled in P Small
ley, an out-and-out democratic pol
itician, and man without qualifica-
tions therefor. And then up came
our Alliance legislators, with the
caucus" pressure upon them-and
against their hearts and reasons,
voted for this Smalley and crushed
The same thing holds in regard to
Warren. Expurgated by his own
county, he got his men in the eau
Gus, and was pushed in against the
subsequent convictions of a majority
of the Alliance members who knew
the unpopularity OF the man at his
own home.
Shall the caucus be permitted to
deprave the Alliance party as it has
the two old parties? This question
is asked seriously and honestly. Is
the caucus right? Ii not, shall it re-
main?
We confess to present necessities
and inconvenience. But to have a
few men get office is not the chief
aim of the Alliance party!

The Daily News.

The Daily News is now showing it's
true colors by the most dastard]y
assaults on Donnelly. Its editorials
have been almost filthy.
1t takes up Caesars Column" in a
recent issue, mildly, quoting an
Eastern plutocratic sheet as author

mot A SAFE MAN."
A New York paper in a criticism on
Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly's late book
Caesars Column" in the form OF a
novel, says the writer is "imagina-
tive, if not very profound thinker. !"
The critic says that the book shows
that he (Donnelly) is not q safe man
to be trusted with power, because his
ideas on the subject of reform are
too crude to be put into practice
without very serious detriment to
the we'll being of the people,
The critic further says, that Don
nelly's sketch, forecasting in America
a "reign of terror" a century hence,
greater than that which overturned
the tyrannical monarchy of France.
causing promiscuous butchery, such
as the world has never seen, involves
a fact which he has overlooked, viz:
"That fact is the leveling power OF
the Gospel of Christ. While it is evil
dent that the author of Caesars Col
umn is a religious C) man, it is
equally evident that he has not be-
gun to realize the mighty power OF
Christianity as a civilizing, restrain
ing and elevating influence"
The critic closes his notice by
piquantly contrasting the imagina-
tive Sage with a writer Every much
more levelheaded and practical y
Unfortunately the fact was probably
unknown to the critic, that
Il, (Ignatius Donnelly) was q mon

Donnelly does, is not afraid of little
penny-winkles like the News. The
nation wants that man!

The program of the Convention
gives evidence that it's members have
to attend to a great deal of impor-
tant business. There are questions
of principle to be settled and ques-
tions of policy to be acted upon.
There are members who have novel
projects of various kinds. and there
are rival leaders whose claims have
to be weighed in the balances by the
farmers. The Minnesota Alliance has
shown it's power in politics, has
alarmed the leaders of the old par
ties, and is now determined to broad
en- it's field of action.
The most important question up
on which action must be taken was
virtually decided before the meeting
OF st. Paul. The delegates to the
Convention of the Minnesota ALI
ance, which has been an independent
body, without affiliations beyond the
bounds OF the State, have, ever since
the Ocala Convention, desired to
unite with the national organization
of the Farmers Alliance. The last
named body had shown a power that
created surprise everywhere, had act
ed with unexpected discretion, and
had shown the practicability of CO.
operation between the farmers of the
Northern and the Southern States.
1t was evident, therefore, that the
Minnesota Alliance must join hands
with the other State Alliances and
form part of body which seeks to
control Congress as we'll as the Legis-
latures of the States. The great ma
jority of the delegates were instruct
ed by their constituents to support
the policy of national union.
AS a matter of course, this policy
has been upheld by the Hon. Igna-
titus Donnelly, whose eye takes in all
the stars on the American flag and
all the interests of the fields and the
workshops. The lesser politicians of
the Farmers Alliance have not yet
found the desirable man to be their
candidate for the Office of President
OF the United States in the next cam
paign; but some of them, at least in
Minnesota, have been led to believe
that Ignatius Donnelly is a name to
conjure with. In order to rise to that
distinction, he must figure in the ma
tional organization, no member of
which can outshine the author who
has plucked the feathers from Shake
speare. The sockless statesman of
the Kansas Alliance would sink out
of sight in the presence OF Mr.. Don
nelly.
