BROOKLYN TWP, May 3rd, 1892.
EDITOR FARMERS LEADER: Instead Of
publishing Anti-allance matter at Il stlp,
ulated price as editorial. the editor of the
Sioux Valley News contents himself with
filing nearly a column of that space with
his confession of the fact that for money
he had offered his editorial columns tC
tear down an organization that has for
its OBJ iect the moral, social, financial.
and political advancement of that class
Of people of which he and his family
forms u part-thc laborers of this nation.
He not only cnnfcsscs that he had offered
for a few paltry dollars, but that he would
Go 1t again as cheerfully us ne would in
scrt an advertisement for groceries.
These sentiments are no surprise TO many,
but the confession Of them is a surprise
to those that are always on guard. He
uses considerable space in trying to vilify
Fl. l.. Louclls, Thos. H. Ayers and other
Independent editors, and says the
reason the republican editors did not ION
with The Ruralist in its howl against the
Huronite for quoting figures was, because
there was nothing to howl about. 1t
would have looked more reasonable if he
would have said the reason was because
they had quoted figures themselves. He
also adds insult to injury when he puts
the taunting question, ''has any one Of the
independent editors faith enough in the
principles he breaches to put his own
money into a newspaper plant and take
his chances single handed as nearly all re-
publican editors in the state does?" While
We do not belive there is single instance
where a republican editor does this, we
will ask who ownes the Canton Advocate
plant today? and who bought it when
THE FARMERS LEADER Co. was necotiat-
ing for it? Was it republican editor :?
Was it a republican editor that took
charge of it at that time? is it a rerubli-
can editor that has charge of it now?
We will ask one more question. Would
the editor of The Sioux Valley News be
willing to put his own money if he has
enough single handed in any of the fol-
lowing !audable business enterprises, and
if so why so and if not why not?
The handling of coal, lumber. live
stock, farm produce, the erection and
operation of a large Touring mill, &c.
Now, if you tell us that you would be
willing to launch out in any of the above
business enterprises. a right to do which
every American citizen should possess, we
will try to show to you and the pub ic as
well that it would be TO your financial
suicide, if you tell us you would not then
take your own reasoning for the reason
