In Marshall county the Republicans
have started another yarn about Hon.
Ignatius Donnelly, that he robbed certain
settlers, living upon railroad lands. The
facts are that Mr.. Donnellv, two years
ago, gave up $500 worth of lectures,
came to St. Paul and stayed there for
nearly two weeks, investigating the
title of the lands in dispute, which were
claimed by Jim Hills railroad company !;
he made two arguments before the gov
ernor and one before the attorney gen.
eral, to prevent the governor from turn
ing over the lands to the Great Northern
Railroad company, and when he failed
there, helped the settlers to make their
appeal for relief to the president and
congress. He. charged the settlers less
than half what any other lawyer would
have charged them as retaining fee,
alone. Not single one of the settlers
has complained but Republicans in the
villages who had nothing to do with the
matter, are trying to make bug bear
out of it. Why don't they explain how
it happened that the settlers were rob-
bed of their lands, with Knute Nelson
in Congress, under the laws passed by
Republican congress and under villain
Gus decisions made by United States
Republican Supreme Court, owned and
controlled by the railroad corporations
Mr.. Donnelly tried to save the settlers
LANDS and he failed because the govern
ment was on the side of the railroads.

We are glad to see the zeal DISPLAYED
by the St. Paul Globe, the organ of thu
Democracy of the State, against the
Wheat Ring. That is all right. 1t is
doing good work. We hope it will not
be silenced
But it is little unfortunate that dur.
ing all this score of years that the farm
ers have been fighting the Wheat Ring
the Democrats never had a word to say
In fact, some of the leaders of the Ring
like the millionaires Pratt and lin Hill
were members of the combine and profit
ing by it. And the Globe poked a great
deal of ridicule at the Farmers Alliance,
and printed a great many funny pictures,
at the expense of the Hay-seeders, for
their efforts to defend themselves from
the robbery of the Ring. Mr. Donnellv s
story is good one. He saysthe Globes
sudden zeal for the agriculturistsr reminds
him of the drunken rowdy who met a
peaceable Jew and knocked himsinto the
gutter. my Cod" said the Jew, as he
gathered himself up, Wat for you dc
that?" "You killed Christ, +" replied the
tough. "But" said the Jew, Eat was
1900 years ago!" II don't care" re
piled the rowdy, I only heard of it last
night.
But the Democratic remedy is almost
as bad as the disease. 1t proposes tt
stop the stealing by the elevator com
panies by turning over the farmers tt
the railroad companies-to get clear o
Pillsbury and Washburn and let lin
Hill take their places. This would b.
out of the frying pan into the fire, for tn,
unfortunate CranPerS.
And what does Dan Lawler-but four
years in the State and fresh from college
and the son of the most noted railroad
lobbyist in the Northwest-know abou
the farmers or their wants?
The lawyers have ruled this State TO
thirty-four years. tits time for change
Let Knute Nelson and Dan Lawler sticl
to their law books.

The Republicans and the Farmers

Ihe Republicans anu the Farm erS
The thirteenth plank of the Republican
State Platform has not received the at
tention which it deserves.
Here it is:
Thirteenth-THE REPUBLICANS OF
THE STATE ARE HEARTILY IN
FAVOR OF THE PROTECTION OF
ITS FARMERS so FAR AS CONSIST
ENT WITH IT'S GENERAL UNREST.
Think of that! They cannot even at
ford to pledge the farmers their uncon-
ditional support, although promises are
cheap; but they must qualify it with the
words: $50 far as consistent with its
general interest" This cts" must mean
the Republican party; it surely cannot
mean the State, for the farmers are a
ajority of all the population, and, as
the majority rules, the farmers are the
State. But the Republican party agrees
to stand by the farmers as long as do
ing SO will not hurt the Republican
party. In other words, the interests OF
the party and the people are in conflict,
and where they clash the people
must give way. The party can only
succeed with the help of the rings and
robbers, and they coolly tell the farmers,
in their carefully prepared platform
that they have got to take a back seat
and let the railroads and elevators sit on
the front seat.
1t is shocking to see "the grand ole
party" of Greeley and Lincoln fall into
the hands of such pack of shallow fools
that have not even got sense enough tt
draw mantle of decent pretence over
their rascality.

Buying Up Our Newspapers,

We give, i'll another column, full
report of the attempt of the U. S. Land
Offers at Crookston. to buy up a Peoples
Party paper at Mcintosh, Polk county.
1t is a shameful exhibition, and a dis
grace to the Republican party. 1t is
traced right home to the State Central
Committee Of that party. In any other
country but this, the men SO offending
would be removed from office in twenty
four hours: here they will be kept in as
long as the Republican party is in power,
and possibly promoted.
This villainous piece of corruption
shows how the Peoples Party paper at
Good Thunder was captured; and how
the Alliance Advocate at Hennlng was
induced to support Knute Nelson for gov
ernor and Feig for Congress; and why a
good many of our leading men have
seen the error of their ways and turned
over to the 6. O. P.
LET OUR PEOPLE BE ON THEIR
GUARD. WATCH EVERY MAN AND
NEWSPAPER CLOSELY. WE CAN
NOT TELL WHERE THE NEXT
BLOW WILL FALL. THE ENEMY
ARE DESPERATE, AND THEY HAVE
PLENTY OF MONEY.
If any man gets too holy and right
eous, in the last moments of this great
battle, and turns his batteries on our
own men, instead of the enemy, UNDER
STAND THAT HE HAS GOT DOODLE
IN HIS POCKET.
This is the time that tries mems souls.
We are fighting to stop robberies that
amount to twenty millions of dollars
annually, in this state alone. What
would million dollars be to the rascaLs
if they could protect the rest OF Their
plumber for ten years to come?
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED, BRE-
THEREIN, AND DOWN WITH EVERY
MAN THAT FLINCHES. THIS is NO
CHILD'S PLAY; AND WOE UNTO
THE TRAITORS, NO MATTER HOW
PRETTY THEY MAY TALK.
Close up the ranks; end all dissensions
postpone all quarrels until the battle is
won; and move in solid column on the
enemy The people will know how tc
reward those who do their whole duty
and He'll of scorn awaits those who
sell out the cause of humanity for filthy
lucre.
IN THIS CRISIS LET THE PEOPLE
BE PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING.
DISCOUNT EVERY POSSIBLE
TRICK THATMAY BE SPRUNG UPON
YOU AT THE LAST MOMENT.
Believe nothing h, enemy tells you
1t is necessarily lie. Men who will buy
up our newspapers are capable of any.

FELTONS CURRENCY ELL.

Senator Fe.ton has introduced a
bill in Congress proposing to the
constitution to the effect that ma
tional currency to be used as cir
culating medium shall be issued to
the extent of $50 per capita, as
shown in the census of 1890, and by
each succeeding census, and that for
the redemption of this currency the
faith and property of the nation are
pledged. To assist in this redemp-
ton, Congress, by two-thirds vote
of each house, may provide for the
collection of Government revenues
and tax in gold and silver coin.
This newly proposed currency, with
the gold and silver coin of the United
State and such currency as may be
issued in lieu of gold and silver coin
or bullion held exclusively for ex-
change for currency, shall constitute
the only legal tender of the United
States and shall be received at par.
The amendment says that Congress
shall not have the power to increase
or decrease this issue of currency
until after the issue of 1890, when
Congress, by two>thirds vote of
both houses, can reduce the per
capita at any census.
The dispatches say that the above
was introduced ''by request. The
idea favors silver and therefore could
not have originated with FELTON, who
is an out and out gold man.

THE TRUE BUSINESS.

The Hawthorne Bulletin places
the thing III nut shell when it says:
Free wool, free iron, coal and steel
would be just retribution to States
whose representatives oppose silver.
Tax hides and close up the Bean
Eaters shoe business.
Place wines, fruit and nuts on the
free list. Prevent priation for
hydraulic mining; for carrying OH the
Mare Island navy yard; for dredging
the Sacramento river in food time;
for post office and site at San Fran
cisco; and Nevadans transfer your
trade away from California and her
gold bug Senators and Representa-
tives will be brought &c their senses.
Thus retaliate and silver will be
recognized.
The poor of the county, are calling
attention to their empty bellies.
They have no money. Starvation
prevails. Turn the minis loose. Let
us have the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and the cry of distress
will be met and answered.

ANTI-HARRISON MOVEMENT.

A Washington dispatch gives The
following information regarding The
movement against Harrison:
The rumor that prevailed yester-
to the effect that the visit to the city
of General Alger and Judge John NJ
Thurston of Omaha was for the pur-
pose of arranging with President
Harrison for General Ayers with
drawal as a candidate for the presi-
dental nomination in favor of Mr..
Harrison, is vigorously denied today
by General Ayers friends. The
latter say that General Alger is in
the field to stay, but that even did
he desire to withdraw from the race he
would not commit himself to Presi-
dent Harrisons denomination, since
events are likely to occur which may
result in placing General Harrison
entirely outside of the. contest.
What these anticipated events are
is left to conjecture, but the belief is
expressed in well informed political
circles that the opposition to Presi-
dent Harrison instead of diminishing
is increasing and assuming proper
tons which will shortly crystalize
into a substantial shape. 1t is an
open secret that both ex~Senators
Platt and Warner Miller are moving
heaven and earth to control the New
York delegation against President
Harrison, and late advices are to the
effect that they will succeed in near
ly all the districts except possibly
Kings county, which is likely to be
controlled for Harrison. through the
influence of Secretary Tracy.

After the announcement of the COM
mlttee on resolutions there were loud
calls for Cyclone Davis" and the hall
was soon ringing with his. voice. He
painted in vivid colors picture of the
condition of things as they existed to-
day in this country. On the one side
they saw beneath the stars and stripes,
the emblems of freedom and liberty,
100000 of landless people in
homeless land. They heard the
cry of the widow and the orphan,
and mingling with that piteous wall of
the down trodden they heard the songs
and revelry among the greedy and the
oppressor. till the sounds became hid

notices that they will not employ men

What are the conditions to which the

To the condition of serfs: to system in
vogue in crowded countries. When
their forefathers created the gov

that wealth accumulated by a ew,while
the many were left to want, became a
menace to the poor. He pointed out
the reduction in the wealth of the
country, held by farmers from 60 to 20
per cent in thirty years, and asked how
long it would take to strip them of the
other 20 per cent under the system
which had robbed them of 40 per cent
already. He abruptly concluded when
the committee on credentials presented
its report, showing that there were no
contests, and that there are 1866 dele
gates present. The report was adopted
amid applause, and the sitting delegates
declared entitled to their seats.

A PAINFUL SPECTACLE.
Friends of Home Rule Have Ach-
ing Hearts.

LONDON, July 2.-The condition of
friends of home rule. The Catholic
clergy are turning out in full force to
sustain the federation cause, and for
the first time in the history of Ireland
Catholics are attacking their priests.
There are significant signs of loss of re-
Spect for the cloth, now that the cloth
has been dragged in the political mud,
and the Parnellite who yields the shil-
lalah seems to make no distinction be-
tween priest and laymen in distributing
his blows.
The followers. or a portion of them,
In both factions, seem to be animated
by the most vindictiye spirit, and the
Tories of Ulster are looking on with
glee at the spectacle presented before
the people of Great Britain. The Tories
ayoW their determination to carry sew
eral Ulster seats now held by National
lists. and there is reason to apprehend
that. owing to the division in the Ma
tionalist ranks, their hopes are not
without foundation.

sioners arrived today from the City of
Chicago. Their reception in Ireland
was not as hospitable as it might have
been. They were among the passen-
gers who went about in the dark and

near KinSale head. The financial as
sistance from friends of the federation
in America came very conveniently for
the Nationalist cause, and will invig-
crate the party in the struggle of next
week. but it is considered too late now
for money to have any decisive effect in
the Irish elections.

his former utterances on the plea that
they were made in the heat of the cam

After the meeting was over crowd

AN INDIANS TALK.
One of Riels Followers Given a
Hearing.

Hearing.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Schilling. of
Wisconsin, Hon. j. jackson, of Chicago,
was invited to address the convention
Mr.. jackson is a representative of
the. Metas council of the North
west. a mixed race of Indians
and Frenchmen. He was partici-
pant in the Riel rebellion in Manitoba.
and crossed the line just half a day
ahead of pursuing British soldiers. MIR.
jackson said he was proud to. attend a
convention where an Indian might
shake hands with white man on an
equality. and because this Peoples
party had platform on which an In
sdian was not ashamed to stand.
n he believed the delegates sincere be-
cause they had buried old animosities
and were demanding one man from the
North and one from the South for their
ticket. This movement gives the abo-
Eiginal race hope that it will receive
Justice. The Indians believe they have
their 0 yn peculiar faculties as well AS
the white race. Their work is not done,
and they propose to stand on their own
bottom. While pursuing a nomadic
lie the Indian kept alive certain virtues
which the white men have lost and are
Just regaining.
); Many of the movements now agitat-
ing the white race were anticipated by
the Indian, said the speaker, and he
proceeded to tell of the simple habits of
the red man to prove his assertion. For
illustration, when an Indian wants
money he does not 60 into the mount
aims to dig gold or silver. He goes to the
nearest lake to gather shells, or into the
brush to cut sticks. Those shells and
sticks are used as a medium of eX-
change, and there is the germ of the
greenback idea. He closed with the as
surance that if it became necessary to
meet oppression with the rifle the Indian
will not be found Sinking.
