There are several hundred letters
coming in now which we would like
to publish, but cannot for want of
space. Several refer to the estate"
a silly residuum of Mullerism and old
party traitorism at $4,000 q year
from st. Paul banking annex. As
the estate" has made the rottenest
record ever known in the journalism
of America we don't think it advis-
able to refer to it more. How our
friends could permit such carrion
efiuvium to get into their home, is
a mystery. Every one knows that it
is owned by our enemies-and even
our enemies got into the filth of fraud
over it. And now it is in the temper

fellow, who used to peddle the alli-

Incontrovertible and conclusive ev-
idence that the Washburn anti-op-
ton bill aims fatal blow at the
curse OF gambling in options is found
in the fact that it has aroused such
terrific antagonism among the IDEAL
ers." A. j. Sawyer, of Minneapolis,
who heads a powerful lobby against
the bill, said recently:
"Any story that 1 am willing to
compromise on an anti-option bill is
a pure fake. l have no substitute bill
to offer. / shall never agree to any
measure that is not satisfactory to
the trade generally. came here to
fight this proposed law and l shall
never be in any mood to compl omise. -

OF Kansas, says the despatch, chad

Davis is in favor of passing the anti
option legislation. During the dis

A Georgian correspondent to the
Economist" says: "From one end
OF Georgia to the other comes a wall
OF distress. 1t is not confined to any
one class, but farmers and merchant s
alike seem tottering on the verge OF
bankruptcy. Every week we hear of
strong firms going to the wall, while
the sheriffs in the various counties
ara kept busy making levies and sell
ing live stock farm produce and i'm
plements under distress warrants.
Many cases are recorded, where ami
mails that cost last spring $3.50, are
sold on the blocks for 500" He fur
ther says: What will be the outcome
of the financial depression now upon
the country l know not. Ii some re-
lief is not given the people, would
not be surprised to see one-half the
merchants in Georgia go to the wall
and thousands OF our best farming
land grow up to weeds! The people
are looking toward the new party
measures, to lead them out of the
wilderness of distress.

They say Donnelly took up a col

The above is from a republican pa.
per, and the truth OF the item is
about as near to the opposite as any
campaign item seen in the old party
papers. On account of sickness Don
nelly was unable to be at Slayton,
consequently he took up no collec-
ton. If the honest speakers for the
farmers party were backed by mill
ions of dollars, as those of the repub-
lican and democratic party, there

Washburn Bill.

Our friend Carpenter, of the Farm
iDgton Tribune, says if option deal
ing is a legitimate business it should
be let alone, and if not then stopped.
This is not his language, but posi-
ton.
The reason Of the license and
tax method, fellow-Tribune, is,
as we under stand it. that in the
various efforts to protect whisky the
Supreme Court has held that you
cannot destroy by penal legislation
a business where both parties agree
to the contract and it's method if no
evil purpose can be specifically shown
in the business against either party
etc. We are not a jurist-but the
Washburn bill is almost identical
with the Butterworth bill-and the
whole. alliance, from California to
Maine, had endorsed it!
Now, as to the effect that thous-
and dollar license fee would have?
None whatever-nor is it designed to
have.
We understand the license to be a
formality connected with the legal
term regulation" The tax OF zoe.
per bushel is the crusher. Now, as we
understand it, the wheat gambler
could not even present his margin
funds to a bank, or "cover his deals"
until receipt for the zoe. per bushel
were shown. This may not be so ex-
pressed in the bill-but under the
Butterworth bill such necessity ~
ing between banker and deposition
was claimed, and from our experience
in wheat trade it seems so to us.
As for the 81, 900 license fee it is q
bagatelle-even a ticket to trade now
costs So, 500! But if the Butterw orth
bill required a zoe. tax receipt and
the Washburn bill the same-why
option dealing without the grain be-
hind it, would be an impossibility.
As to the wrong OF licensing an evil,
we agree that it is wrong. But a
power O. plutes refuse to recognize it
as moral evil.

The jobbing houses OF Omaha, and

Gould is turning the screws too hard.
The railroad company raised it's

and in some cases S. car. This OF
course came out Of the profits, and
as a result they may go back to

building built purely for 6 months

Watson, of Georgia, Congressman,
has introduced bill to prevent the
payment in advance by the Secretary
OF the Treasury of interest on bonds.
The bonds themselves do not call for
the payment OF interest in advance,
and it is only by a trick of favorite-
ism, through the friendship OF the
treasury department., that the bond
holders receive the same. This bill is
intended to correct this state OF

The Peoples Advocate, a new reform
paper of Gainesville, Texas, was
burned out, after it's first issue, by
political enemies. The editor and his
family barely escaped with their lives.
To show beyond dispute, that the
fiends had laid their plans to kill, the
traces had been unlocked from the
singletrees, the hose couplings had
been tempered with so the different
sections would not join, and the fire
plugs had been screwed down so firm
ly that the firemen could not loosen
them. In another part OF the town
a great commotion was kept up in
order to draw the crowd away from
the scene of the fire thereby lessening
the chances OF quenching the flames.
1t is another lesson the reformers
have learned, that there is not a step
too low for the opposition to stoop
to in their efforts to override the
rights OF the people.

A recent report from President
Folks office, in Washington, says
that the growth of the alliance for
the past month has been too rapid
too keep track of. A summary of re-
cent reports is given: In Oklahoma
several sub alliances have been FORM
ed, with a net increase of 400 mem
bers. In Mississippi war has been
waged hotly against the alliance, but
in spite of the enemy's batteries, it's
net increase in membership has been
over l 900 in the past year. Sixty
two sub-alliances have been organ:
lied in North Dakota, with net gain
OF over 1000 members. Two hun
dred and sixty-six sub-alliances have
been organized in the last year, in
Iowa, with a net increase of over nine
thousand members, with ninety
nine organizers at work in different
parts OF the state. California has
fourteen counties organized, with two
hundred and fifteen sub-alliances,
and the net increase of membership is
over 5000. In Louisiana two new
county organizations, with about
twenty sub-alliances have been FORM
ed, and the net increase OF member
ship is over five hundred. Thirteen
new counties are organized in Ohio,
with a hundred and seventy sub-alli-
ances, and the increase in member
ship is over ten thousand. South Da-
kota, laboring under difficulties, re-
ports a net increase of 1000 men,
bers. The arousing in West Virginia
is wonderful. Two hundred and thirty
sub alliances have been born and the
net gain of members comes within
traction of ten thousand. What a
feeling of rejoicing and hope should
be in every alliance mans heart,
knowing as he must know, if he reads
the live reform papers, that not
withstandiDg all the horned lies of
the old party cheats, that the cause
OF reform is going gloriously on to
victory. The members of the indie
pendent party will live to eat the
goose that ate the grass that grew
on the political grave of the old
parties.
