Marshall, ILL.,, Sept. %, 81.

R. J. Hall and Eric Olson are at
last in business. They are soliciting
funds to build a million bushel ele-
vator at Duluth. Fine team, this
Hall and Olson-well matched.
Hall stands accused of numerous
heightened, lovely, honorable acts,
political and otherwise, which adds
to his reputation. The last was a
direct public accusation, in the pub
lie press by no less a person than
Chief Inspector Clausen, of Offering
or attempting to offer, to sell out
the Alliance Party twenty-four hours
before the great July Convention.
This accusation without counter
action stands without a parallel in
the annals of political villainy, and
it supports the statements made to
us by prominent republican that
"Hall was opposed to the movement
Merriam understood him" OF
course, Hall, not wishing to see
Merriam at the capitol, could not
find a more convenient place-of
course not! And if he could would
the Governor give any man money
for goods which no man could de-
liver? Certainly not. Any man of
sense would say. "Mister, you can't
do it. You can, however, do better.
Go on with the work, and then ap-
point a campaign committee so
dirty that it will kill the move.
Have no alliance men on it worth
mentioning. Have no farmers there
on. Get one Donnelly and GREAT
WEST man on who is such only by
pretense. Get Eric Olson, the great
Merriam advocate of 1888, on it
that $4,000 business will fix him.
Get the Dodge County man who not
only imbibes freely but has been ex-
PEELED from local and county ALI
ance, on the committee. Put on the
republican meat Inspector of South
st. Paul. Put on a man for St. Paul
who will disgust the st. Paul labor
element. Then cut off the GREAT
WEST and Donnelly-retuse the G..
W. offer of$1 900 and $50, 900 copies
OF the paper-pay Muller $50 "a week
and expenses, and let Others look out
for themselves!'
That would be better than to at
tempt to knock down an entire con-
vention. Surely Hall and Olson are
we'll mated. Meantime, Olson might
pay up $500 to Merriam's bank and
take his Elevator Stock out-on

Key Notes.
VEST CONCORD, Oct. 9TH, '91.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
You are striking key notes every
day. Every one who labors for his
living should read the cts,-the liv-
ing truth-of the condition Of those
who toll in workshop or on land.
Talk of this being a free country!
When the shackles were stricken
from the colored man, they were fast
ened up on the white man by the mon
ey power, and we have been bled
through the National Banking Sys-
TEN until labor realizes that it must
look well to itself or be bondman to
power which has neither soul nor
conscience. Toll on, Doctor Fish;
make facts SO plain thatmen may not
be mistaken! Keep the great princi-
pies we demand before the people. and
the great wrongs, too; SO that like the
hand writing on the wall Of olden
time they may be known to all. May
the time soon come when this coun-
try shall be ruled for the greatest
good to the greatest number.

The Globe Called Down.

GLENDoRADo, Mimi, Oct. /, 81.
EDITOR GREAT VEST:
By looking over number of the
st. Paul Globe, dated Aug. 9th.
my attention was called to a short
editorial headed: Farmers for
Force The case stated was, that
at the recent state meeting of the
Farmers Alliance at Warrensburg.
Mo-, 4S delegates were in favor OF
using force in the case the minority
will not submit to the majority rule
or as a delegate told a reporter, they
would hang the minority"
Ii am not mistaken the founda-
ton of this Government rests unon
the majority rule The will of the
people is the law OF the country and
whenever a minority has rebelled
against the wills of the majority.
it has been considered the duty of
every loyal Citizen to enforce the
laws. Only four years ago, a min
GRITTY was hung in Chicago by the
majority, and the Globe loudly de-
manded their execution, and when
ever strike Of labor against capital
has taken place the Globe has al
ways demanded the enforcement of
the laws. Consistently with it's past
course | expected to see the Globe
appreciate the courage and patrio-
tism of the Farmer delegates, but
! was disappointed; on the contrary
the Globe called them rebel Anti
Monopolists, Farmer Socialists and
ether epithets known only to readers
OF the dictionary OF billingsgate, and
the pluti-anarchist papers. Has the
Editor of the Globe become an
apostle OF Anarchy? Does the
Globe think the majority of Amer
lean citizens fools and towards, or
that patriotism has become so
cheap in this land OF MONOPOLY.
that q minority of plutocratic law
breakers will be able to establish a
despotic Government on the ruins
OF Washington's republic?
The Globe has always been ready
to advise the farmers. 1 hope it
will allow it's light to shine on this
subject. JENs p. ANDERSON.

Secretary Foster proposes material
reduction Of the clerical force at the
New York custom house. as the in

year. Similar reductions in other
branches of the government service
may be looked for this summer. The
treasury Is empty, and every dollar Of
expected revenues will be needed to

the government BY the billion congress

Is stated that one thousand census

of slj0.000 year will be made in the
