Where do You get Your Coal?

Do you know? Were you ever in q
coal mine? Can you imagine what
one looks like? Or what kind Of folks
the miners are? Or how their families
live? After you have read that splen-
did paper III the March number OF
DemOrest's Family Magazine,
''Tn1 ough the Coal Country with a
Camera" and studied the twenty odd
fine pictures which illustrate 1t, every
piece Of coal you see will be invested
with a new interest; and when you
read about "strikes" among the min
ers. you will better appreciate their
true significance. Photographs were
taken especially for this article. and
have been reproduced in superb style.

CHAMBERLAIN CETSIT.
The Republican State Convention goes
There.

The Republican State Convention goes
There.
From ths Sioux Falls Daily Press
the following summary OF the meeting
held by the republican state central
committee last Tuesday:
After Chairman Clough had made a
few opening remarks the question OF
representation was considered and
was finally fixed at one delegate for
every fifty votes.
THE DATE.
John Diamond moved that Wednes-
day, March 80, be the date tor the
holding of the convention. Rev.
Burdick, of Aberdeen, wanted the
10Th or 23d. John Thompson, OF
Minnehaha, wanted the 23d, Baldwin
OF Miller, April 27, Conklin OF Clark,
the 23d of March. The committee
finally settled upon Wednesday, the
23d of March.
THE LOCATION.
The first formal vote by roll call
stood: Chamberlain 16, Sioux Falls
z, Dead wood 8, Watertown l.
The second ballot gave Chamberlain
10, Sioux Falls 6, Pierre l, Dead
wood 4. The vote was made unani-
NOUS. Ex Senator Greene thanked
the committee in behalf OF the citizens
of Chamberlain and ventured the
opinion that Brule county would
respond to the honor by giving its
second republican majority.
PROXIES.
Upon the question of proxies John
Diamond, of Brookings, in q stirring
speech advocated that no proxies be
allowed at the next convention. He
believed that great many OF the dis
sensions grew out OF the existence OF
proxies and moved the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the committee
recommends that all delegates to the
county convention be elected bv bal
lot, that alternate delegates be elected
by ballot and that no proxies be
allowed, but that the delegates pre-
sent in county and state conventions

the delegation, and all primary polls
be held open not less than one hour.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
THE WORLDS FAIR.
Resolutions were introduced solic-
iting the hearty cooperation of all
parties in securing an extra session OF
the legislature for the purpose of max
ing an appropriation for the worlds
fair and also urging the republicans
to make a vigorous campaign from
start TO finish ''r the year 1892.
Worlds Fair Day.
Friday, Feb. 10, will be observed in
the city schools as Worlds Fair Day.
Appropriate exercises will be pre-
,sented by all departments, beginning
about 2 o'clock. 1t is hoped that a
contribution of five cents will be made
by each member of the schools for the
educational exhibit at Chicago in
1898. All citizens and friends OF the
schools are cordially invited to be
present. Any who would like to give
something for the above named cause
will have an opportunity. Do not
stay away, however, because you
have no contribution to make. There
will be no begging. Pupils and teach
ers have done some good, hard work
and would be pleased to see one and
all.

THE NATIONAL UNION COMPANY-AN
ALLIANCE MANS VIEW.

To the Edit " OF The ADVOCATE.
1t is sad commentary on our financial
system that Its inevitable influence is to
put every mans hand against his neigh
Dor. Under it no class can work an
amelloration of It's condition without
working detriment to some, or all, other
classes. A damnable financial system is
forcing to a life and death struggle all
lines of business except such as enter
into combines with the money power,
the po yer that controls absolutely the
money Of the country.
This being the case, there are some
considerations which commend the Ma
National Union Company to the favors-

We, the delegates to the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, assembled
for the promotion of the welfare Of the
order in all It's varied interests, believe that
the social intercourse of it's members and
friends should be encouraged to the greatest
possible degree, and we wish TO here ex-
press our pleasure at the manifest success
with which the Alliance circulating library
has attained toward the end. But more 90
pecially do we hail with pleasure the ad-
vent Of the December number of the Eco
nomic Quarterly, which is being especially
prepared with poems, plays, declamatiOns,
readings, ETC., for the use of all industrial
organizations. Napoleon believed that the
"master of the world was he who wrote the
songs" while Shakespeare thought the
greatest social power was the drama"
This, we are informed, is to be strongly
brought out in the new book now in press
of the Vincent Bros. Publishing Company
of this city. All published of pure eco
nomic literature and song shall have our
undivided encouragement.
Resolution by Brother Wren, Of Louisl-
ana, read and adopted.
Resolved, That we, the national oonven-
ton of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, in the city of Indianapolis assem-
bled, do most heartily sympsthise with the
people of the state of Louisiana, and the
strenuous and noble efforts to destroy that
infamous iniquity and gigantic monopoly,
the Louisiana state lottery, now seeking a
revival of it's charter in the organic law Of
the state, and earnestly request our Con-
gressmen TO use their efforts in enaCting
such national laws as will remove such a
curse from the American continent.

THE NATIONAL, UNION COMPANY-AN
The advocate., 1892-01-13


BILE that the men who are receiving in
terest amounting annually to two and
three time our average circulating me
dunn, must, In the absence of radical
change Of our monetary system, soon be
in way to control all the business Of the
country also. The method of doing so
seems to be through the medium Of
trusts. Oppose 1t as we will, without q
change in our financial system, the trust
Is going to be feature Of every line Of
business in every city throughout the
country in the near future. One OF
three things must soon occur-either we
shall soon destroy the power of money to
oppress, or we shall put ourselves In a
way to perpetuate our power to fight it
while the people In the towns are get
ting their eyes opened by embracing
some such advantage as the National
Union Company offers, or so great q por-
tion Of our population will be so i'm
poverlshed as to make contest depend
ing on brains and ballots for success an
utterly futile one.
But, it is objected, this Is q trust-the
very thing the Alliance was organized TO
oppose. Very good. And so was Cen
eral Grant opposed to war; yet, to estab-
lish peace he fought. Frequently the
only successful means Of opposing an
evil is the use Of its own methods. Must
one go out empty handed to a contest
with human devilsY So long as society
encourages every man to carry a bludgeon,
with which to down me, l shall preach
sgalnst such condition of society. I
shall vote in opposition to it, but shall
keep my hand on q bludgeon also.
Otherwise my preaching and voting
would speedily result in my own extermi-
nation only.
am opposed to trusts-the Alliance
is opposed to trusts; but, sir, with the
gigantic money trust in existence, every
thing outside trust of some kind is
jeopardized.
To my mind the only questions which
should agitate the reform press In con-
nection with the National Union Com
pany are, does it promise reasonable as
surance of relief to the producer with
out detrlment to the consumer, and can
we espouse It's interests without Rbatlng
in the least our opposition to the monopoly
of money, the baleful influence Of which
makes all other monopolles essential,
and in the absence Of which all other
monOpolies would disappear as readily
as an army Of volunteers is disbanded at
the cessation of hostllities? There is just
one prolific source of nearly, ifnot quite,
all the ills that afllict the business inter-
estS Of the country. That ls, Congress ls
compelling the people to submit to the
dictatlon of greed and caprice Of private
parties az TO the terms on which they
shall have the use Of a circulating
medium, instead Of the Congress fixing
the terms itself in the interest of the
people. Besides every man is authorized
and encouraged to look it up and exact
further premium for It's use after once it
is put in circulation until now we are
paying annually on an average two and
a half to three dollars, at least for the
use Of every dollar Of our average clrcu-
lation. This enormous premium for the
use Of money can not, Of course, be paid
in money. Il must be paid In the
shrinkage Of values, In surrendered

She was then towed 10 her dock. where she
