The Peoples Party Rally

Quite Il number turned out to the
peoples party rally last night to
hear the doctrines OF said party ex-
pounded. When our reporter enter
ell, Frank Ives, OF Crookston, the
woultl-be Judge, pounded away at
the silver question. He repeated the
old exploded falsthool, that silver
was delnonetized 10y stealth in 1873,
when us IL matter OF fact, no act Of
congress was more thoroughly con
sidered in committees, and on the
floor Of the two houses, than was
this act. The discussion OF it fills
page after page in the Congressional
Globe, showing also that it was
thoroughly understood at the time
OF it's passage. He stated that gold
was the only legal tender money IN
the country, when he ought to know
that the Bland act OF 1873 remone-
tized silver and made the silver dol
lar legal tender for all amounts. He
favored the free coinage of silver,
and SO does the republican party
wien it can be accomplished without
endangering the parity Of the silver
dollar with every other kind oil dol
lar, but it is not in favor OF civ
ing the silver miners II dollar fore
cents worth OF silver. It's position
is, that Il dollar, whether it be gold,
silver Or paper shall be as good as
every other dollar, and it is owing
to the wise financial legislation OF
the republican party that this happy
condition OF things exists. 1t is
folly to talk OF silver being demone-
tized when everybody who handles
money at all, knows that there is /,
great deal Of in circulation in the
form Of coin and in silver certificates
and treasury notes. By the silver
act Of 1890 our government is com.
PEELED to purchase Ak million ounces
OF silver a month for which is issued
either standard dollars or treasury
notes. About the entire product 81
our mines available for coinage pnr
poses is being constantly added to

Bro. CRoNxHlrE, uf Tile BARRIER,
did not kke oNr statement of facts
regarding Doc. Fish's meeting at Ar
Eyle- Dec. Fish is 4 self convicted
liar hy his own words, t,hA every
sane man who has ANY common
sense left in Ills pate will reach the
same conclusion. Among other
tl'itsvs he stated that anarchist
Rerkman, who assaulted Frick, was
hired to do the deed by the capital
istic class, and furthermore that it
could not he proved Ivy any physi-
clan that Frick was ever injured at
all. A pretended assault was mace
only for the purpose OF bringing the
labor cause into disrepute, as Fish
told it. Now this man Berkman has
since been tried and convicted Of this
assault by jury OF twelve good citi-
zens OF Pennsylvania, and he has
been sentenced to serve % years in
states prison. A physician testified
at the trial as to the nature of Frick' s
Snjuries. Now does it look reasona-
BILE, and will any man with common
sense believe that Berkman was hired
to make II pretended assault for
which he must suffer % long
years imprisonment? Doc. Fish
stated u!sO that it will be shown
that the dynamite bombs thrown at
the Haymarket riot in Chicago sew
eral years ago were thrown at the
instigation OF Mccormick and other
employers of labor. In as much rs
Doc. Fish makes such ridiculous and
Palpably untrue STATEMENTS and re-
iterates the same in his paper, the
Great West, can We believe anything
that comes from him? In the Ian.
guage ri the law, his reputation for
truth and veracity is not good, and
we have a right to ,1isbelieve him in
everything And this man Fish, who
has reached perfection in the art OF
lying, is the state lecturer Of the PEG
PIES party, and DonnrlIy's right
hand man, and the Great West which
he edits is the accredited organ of
the party! We believe that the farm
ers in this county have too much in
telligence to be fooled by such an
outfit rs Donnelly, Fish and the
Great West, and hangers on.
