which Tamamny rallied to his sup

Minneapolis Tribune Sept. "a.
A dispatch from Renvills, Mimi, to
the democratic organ Of the Mime
sofa democracy, says that in q
speech at that place Ignatius DON
nelly read the following letter il sup
port of his statement relating to GER
tain features OF the grain business,
showing that the price OF wheat is
fixed by the Empire Elevator COM
pany. The letter reads.
Empire Elevator company, incor.
porated, general grain dealers--ele-
vators on I. & AZ. and 81. & D. divi-
sjons Of c., M. & St. p.
Dictated by II. w. P.
Minneapolis, Minn.-To Independ-
emit Grain Buyer, Sacred Heart,
Minn.-Dear Sir: We understand you
have commenced buying wheat at
Sacred Heart, and inaugurated your
business by advancing prices over
the list. We desire to say to you
that ii you make any money in the
grain trade at Sacred Heart it will
be by following our list prices, as we
will stand no nonsense in that
market. Nothing but straight for
ward work will we submit to-. Yours
truly. 81. w. PRATT, President.
If our readers, and especially Mr..
Lewis Baker of the Globe, will tax
their memory, they will remember
that this Mr.. Horace Prattis prom
inent Democrat. and that he was a
member of the State Convention that
elected delegates to the conventio
whichHfrst nominated Grover Cleve-
land; and ourssrecollection is that he
was a delegate to that national con-
vention.
A Tribune reporter asked Mr..
Pratt about the letter yesterday.
He was 10th to discuss it, but finally
said with much significance:
II gave that fellow some good ad-
vice. He didn't see fit to take it. If
he had done so he might have made
some money. We we're in at that
station paying established prices for
grain, and this fellow came in to irri-
tate the market and keep things agi-
tated. He did not make any money
by his efforts. If he had taken the
sound advice conveyed in our letter
he might have made a little; as it
was he madenothing."
In other words: Mr.. Pratt admits
that they "froze OUT. the independent
wheat buyer.

Men Of the Masses. Graduates in
the school Of experience. have you yet
to learn that independent political
action is the only remedy for the
evils that cause the discomfort of
wageworkers t4at end in strikes and

In such unequal contests between
labor and capital, labor goes over

the monotonous record of nearly

There is but one way out of the woods.
Opportunity suggests but one line of
action. United support Of the only
political party that demands, legisla-
ton in harmony with the theories
forming the basis of most of the ex-
listing labor organizations is the only
hope of the masses, in their resent
struggle for supremacy with mo-
nopoly.
If the time, energy and money
worse than wasted on strikes within
the last ten years had been expended
in the organization of an independ-
ent peoples party, remedial legisla-
ton would, ere this, have left no &C.
casion for strikes.
just 50 long as you dividedly sup
port rival mouopolistic political
parties, the steadily aggressive move
ments of your employers will surely
end in your defeat and. enstavement,
and every defeated strike adds one
more rivet to the CALLING letters of
monopoly manacled labor.
A millionaire monopolist said, ''it
is cheaper to buy legislators than to
buy states to elect them"
Does not your strike experiences
open your eyes to the fact that rail-
road officials, in their dealings with
some of the chiefs of your orgaAiza-
tions, have not forgotten the nearest
cheapest" way to defeat strikers?
Until you reduce the salaries of the
officials of your organizations to the
wages of your most worthy members,
said officials will determinedly oppose
your supplanting strikes with indie
pendent voting. When, through the
triumph of the peoples party, the
basic principles Of the great labor or

of striking labor organizations who
vainly put their trust in the wisdom
