MaQ1SOn TO-, MISS.
Mr.. EDITOR.-ThrOugh the kindness
of Bro. David E. Wood, our County
Secretary, l received a copy of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER. l am so well
pleased with it's manly, Outspoken ut
terances in defence of the rights of the
wealth-producers that [ enclose you so
cents and wish my name enrolled as a
subscriber and wish that a copy could
reach the homes of every wealth pro-
Queer In our land. It is through such
able journals as The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and National Economist that
we. the farmers, are to know the real
cause of our expressions. And when
we become educated as to our needs
we will rise as a mighty cyclone, md
through the ballot, free ourselves from
the hands of the money power and
then this will be a government for and
by the people, equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
Enclosed find copy of a resolution
passed by Pearl Alliance of this county.
You g we r alive and at work.
~Fraternally yours,
J. w. MELTON.

Mr.. EDITOR you grant me q
kind favor, as your noble paper has
come to nv farm home as an Alliance
man. l heartily endorse the ring of
YOUR columns. [ heard Col. l.. Polk
speak twice at Des MOines, Iowa. At
the close of his speech we, as Northern
AIliancemen, mounted the stage and
gave Bro Polk a grand welcome by a
hearty handshake. There | witnessed
union, both North and South. Now,
brother farmers, we want to know no
North or South, East or West AS til
lers of the soil, oh we tillers and labor
ers, hear the Alliance call for Justice.
AS l look back over history l cannot
find where any great reforms came
under old kings or old parties. OPP
preston Of the people calls new parties
to be born to saw a government or ma
ton. | most frankly say we have no
government for the people or by the
people. We are going to ring the lIb,
erty bells soon. Never In the history
of our nation has such a bold stand
been taken among the farmers and
laboring element. We cannot expect
! any great reform from either of the
old parties, so our local Alliance, No.
1,017, endorses the st. Louis COnven-
ton, held Feb. %, 1892, also we are
open for correspondence in Allan e
work to our Southern brethren. We
greet you with friendship and love for
the cause, for our interests are the
same. So we will vote together and
work in unity. Divided we fall, united
we stand. Then we can elect men who
will enact just laws in Congress. Glass
legislation, which has been going on,
will have to stop. The banking swim
die, bond swindle, also Wall street
swindlers. Government banks estab-
lished throughout the States. Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.
Ever yours for the right,

LETTER FROM PENNSYLVANIA
SPARTANsRuRG. Pa.

Ma 49,"
Mr.. EDITOR:-I see In your able and
honest paper that some one has written
an article relating to a humane char
tered society in your State, the Osten-
sible object of which is to protect dumb
animals; while the real object, as it
has turned out in some other places, Is
to p~ersecute and rob the highest order
of anlmals-men.
A reasonable law to punish cruelty
to brutes is all right. but when a com
pany u a charter for the purpose
of making money out of the poor n
ignorant, under the name of humanity
and religion, it will be soon discovered
that the humanity and religion have
changed into conspiracy and crime, by
means of which human cattle will be-
come a prey to a band of h~ypOcrites
and a pack of petty officials who rob,
cripple and starve helpless children.
A Justice of the peace and constable
and a few cats paw members can make
a paving business out Of laying n wait
for the petulent and unwary. The
crime and penalty ire generally left to
the Judgment and discretion of the
court. In a city or large town with a
proper corps Of humanity detectives,
from one to a dozen fines of ten dollars
NAV be collected every day. The leg
islature doesn't care, it comes out of
the poor devils, anyway. There are
three kinds of poOr-the Lords poor.
the devils poor, and poor devils. The
first we send to the county house; the
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-05-14
Spots on the Dodeeyille Sun.


In its last weeks issue the editor
of the Dodge1il!e Sun proved that
the TRIBUNE's warning, to the
effect that his name was in danger
of becoming synonym for black
guardism, was timely, and It's
hoped will be needed. In nearly
every issue of that sheet somebody
is dubbed a liar. Such a style is
neither argumentative or oonyinc.
ing, but is more than likely to pro.
duce an effect entirely opposite
from what is calculated, besides it
displays coarseness and vulgarity
that endanger the papers popularity
in the family circle. If the TRIB-
UNE erred {not willfully lied as the
Sun avers) as to who made the mo.
ton, at the Democratic county con
vention, that the resolutions be
adopted, it has only to offer as an
explanation the fact that it was
guided by the proceedings taken in
full for another paper of this coun-
ty, by gentleman thoroughly com
petent, and the same appeared
therein. The other remarks made
by the TRIBUNE relative to the
proceedings of said convention
were calculated to cause squirm-
ing and at the same time properly
enlighten the people. In your hour
of bushes and wrath, neighbor,
you have our sympathy, personally,
but not as a partisan.
The lies -four in alp the Sun
charges the TRIBUNE with having
stated in its article treating on the
present state administration, are not
lies, and in endeayoring to show
them up that sheet proves itself
anything but a true reflector not
withstauding its name. The legis-
lature was among the longest.
Large sums are necessarily, and
SIRE 10 be, expended to prosecute
the ex.state treasurers; no one
familiar with the costs Of a great
law suit will question it, even if the
exact amount is not yet known.
The lumber miIlionaires do still re-
tain their wealth, Notwithstanding
the attorney generals application
on the eve Of election to bring suit,
for effect possibly. An attem pit
aoas not made by the TRIBUNE "to
incorporate the gerrymander into
the last campaign" and we agree
that no promises were made by
either party concerning 1t during
the campaign. The TRIBUNE con
cedes that it was good move on
the part Of the administration to
turn over the interest money. The
platforms Of both parties, however,
advocated that. But there is good
reason to believe that said interest
money will not make up the extra
expense incurred by the foolishness
of the administration.
In tAis matter we need be thank.
full that the Sun in question dis
graces the orb from which it is sup
posed to take its origin, and which
graces tle blue J9me above
