What Nevada Thinks About Silver.

NEW YoK, Dec. 29.-"I propose" said
William NJ. Stewart, Of Nevada, last
night, "when the senate reconvenes to
offer amendments to the bill providing for
the repeal of the Sherman act of 1890. I
hardly expect-a free coinage bill to pass
this session, but it is worth trying for.
The II ill bill offers no substitute. | am
opposed to the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act, for believe in
hanging on to all We have. Both political
parties are making an egregious mistake
in fighting the free coinage of silver. 1t
has got TO come. Why, the Peoples
party cast 100000 votes last November
and captured states which hitherto have
been rock-ribhed Republican. They de-
manded free silver and make the predic-
ton that if the Republican party fails to in
dorse free silver, it will hereafter be unable
to carry single state west of Iowa. Should
the Democratic party ignore it, now that
it is soon to be restored to power, the Peo-
pies party will elect 3 presidential candl-
date in 1896. There has been a political
earthquake in the West and the old parties
had better look out"
What is your opinion of the interna-
tionai monetary conference" was asked.

the senator. Nothing will come of it but
talk
"You will be returned next March ?" was
the next query propounded.

silver senator. Our little state favors nv
reelection on that account, perhaps more
than any other. The days of the Roths-
childs are numbered. The peoples day is
dawning. We are the people"

Debate at Moorhead.

Mr.. G. L. Smith, State Organizer
of Republican Clubs, met DR.. Fish in
debate at Moorhead, Thursday eve
ming, Sept. Sth. Like all of the Dr's
meetings for week past, not a soil
tary handful was issued to advertise
it, and an Opera house costing $15
was sprinkled with about 200 people
when there should have been a jam
of /, 500. The debate went off good
naturally and d vote taken. The
chairman, democratic ex-mayor,
stated that the vote was too close
to give decision. DR.. Fish then gal
lantly arose and stated that, being
in a republican city, he would yield
the vote to Mr.. Smith. Every one
laughed and adjourned.

A Fizzle.

We learn, by letters from st. Cloud,
that the grand opening Of the cam
paign at St. Cloud, by the democrats,
was a fzzle. They did not have half
as many present as were at the peo-
Piles party meeting when Mr.. Donnel-
ly spoke; our correspondent says
''Many democrats were greatly dis
appointed in Lawler and the other
speakers. 1t was a vote-maker for
the peoples party"
The attempt OF the Jim Hill crowd
OF St. Paul to hold the democrats to
the support Of LAWYER will prove the
biggest kind OF disappointment.
He has been but four years in the
state; he is not known to the people:
and he is member of the city hall
gang OF st. Paul, as corporation at
torney, with $4,000 year salary.
On election day he will scarcely know
that he is running.

"The day is drawing nigh when O,

'The day is drawing nigh when our
republican form of government will
be impracticable in this country. We
shall need near every great center of
population strong camp of federal
soldiers, lifted above all local SYM
pathy or prejudice in favor of riot
ers."
The above prophecy is taken from
the Post Intelligencer of Tacoma,
Washington, a fair sample OF the ut
terances of the capitalistic mouth
pieces of plutocracy in this free coun-
try. This prosperity shrieker, lis de-
batting on the wrong side OF the ques-
ton; he does not intend to emphasize
what the peoples party followers are
so strongly setting forth in their
arguments and sayings, namely,
that the monopolies and aristoc-
racies, OF this nation are to build up
a standing army to crush out organ
lied labor and place the producers
and masses under military rule. He
practically wants federal soldiers,
''who are lifted above all sympathy"
for the oppressed and helpless, who
are at the mercy of men and monop-
olies sustained and protected by the
powers that be. The representative
papers of the G. o. p. and d. o. p. are
trying to educate the masses in this
country ''up to the point" as rapid
" as they dare to do. of the despot-
ism of a standing army. But these
same fOotmen and train bearers OF
plutocfacy send forth a fearful howl
if peoples party advocate says that
this country is not in the most -four
ishing and ecstatic condition. Who
are the traitors in this country but
those who advocate and prescribe
such unlawful measures to deprive
men of their liberties.

The "Belshazzar's Feast" of Knute
Nelson is becoming as famous as the
Feast for Mr.. Blaine gotten up by
Jay Gould. When Mr.. Nelson got in
to the feast business, with Jim Hill,
Banker Mendenhall and D. B. Searle
he laid down his profits in politics. 1t
was a bad business. The bankers
and railroad kings do not banquet

The Progress of the Campaign.

We learn that the campaign is pro-
crossing magnificently. Everywhere
our forces are increasing in number;
and the old party speakers can
not get the people out to listen
to them. Mr.. Donnelly's meetings
are perfect ovations. At Elk River
half the audience could not get
into the hall. At West Duluth a
large tent was packed full of people
and great crowds outside. Owen
had 200 votes there two years ago
our friends are certain of receiving
1 400 and possibly more. 1t is per-
feet stampede. A new daily, peoples
party has just been started by A.
Mclean at West Duluth, and another
will come out in a week or two at Du-
luth. A new peoples party paper has
also been started at Faribault. At
Tower, on'the extreme northern line
of the state, Mr.. Donnelly and Mr.. A.
c. Parsons, peoples party candidate
for congress in the 5th district, spoke
to an immense and enthusiastic
crowd of workingmen. The peoples
party will get those $500 votes near
ly solid. Mr.. Parsons and Mr.. Don
nelly spoke to a very large meeting
at noon, Sept. 9th, at Mora, the
county seat of Kanabec Co.-that
county will give large majority to
the peoples party. News from Isanti
county is that the farmers are with
the new movement almost to man,
and the same news comes from Pine
county, and Benton county, and in
fact from every direction. The sue
cess OF the peoples party ticket is be-
yond question;-but every man must
do his duty-he must talk to his
neighbors and help swell our rousing
majority.
In the Twin Cities the revolution is
simply amazing. Minneapolis gave
Mr.. Owen $500 notes.-the peoples
party leaders claim $4,000. In St.
Paul Mr.. Owen had 1900 votes-we
will have this year from 5000 to
lO,OOO votes. This is no Dragging
but simply stating the truth. The
people are thoroughly aroused and
determined that Jim Hills control of
the state shall come to an end on
Nov. 8. Clubs are organized all over
st. Paul and Minneapolis and the
farmers OF the county will find the
worklngmen with them in solid col
umns. Thanks to the Australian bal
iot the voters this year can vote their
real sentiments. There is a tremen-
oous surprise in store for the old
parties.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-09-16

If it be true, as the old parties ad-
vocate, that this country is so pros
porous and everything is as it should
be, that the workmen and producer
have everything to be thankful for
and nothing to complain of-will
some satisfied, neutrality-suspicious.
acknowledgement please rise and
explain why within the past eight or
ten weeks the entire militia force OF
four states in this union-Tennessee,
Idaho, Pennsylvania, and New York
have been called out to force the
laboring men into submission. There
is no discounting the fact that the
whole country is in a caudron OF
trouble and bubble because of the I'M
lawfully rich and unjustly poor.

News comes from Maine that thew
are holding crowded and wildly en-
thusiastic meetings in that state.
Prof. Bateman, one of their promin-
ent speakers, says: "The people are
aroused to the fact that something
must be done Immediately or they
will soon be paupers. No longer will
they accept the sophistries of old
party politicians" And so it goes
north, south, east and west. The
woods are full OF 'em-peoples party
votes.

OAA044s
We reached Perham the afternoon
of last week Tuesday. As we had
talked to fair audiences the day be-
fore for Z hours and 10 minutes
(three meetings) we thought it best
not to hold an afternoon meeting.
In the evening about $50 gathered
in the hall. Note, that this was to
greet an Institute" force of four
workers-and not a solitary bill
printed. We spoke two hours, and
then spoke our little piece about how
to treat public speakers who have
put their olives" into this work, and
for three years have received no pay
for constant work. If peoples party
men intend to succeed in a great
cause they must wake up and work !!
Az result, we have concluded to
drop the great task OF carrying on
the Institute. Now was a good
time, as we had lost our singer, tenn
porarily, and Mr.. Johnson was al
most compelled to remain at home
for a time. We notified the new
singer not to come. DR.. Fish will fill
all the appointments, and except the
forenoon meetings will make the ad-
dresses as advertised.
Detroit, Becker Co.
We arrived here Wednesday morn
ing, and found Donnelly advertised
to speak the day of the Institute.
But not a bill out Except those
printed by us) and no effort at a
mass meeting. AS to the Institute
not q w0rd-nor a line-nor bill.
OF course the advertising" about
Donnelly was a fraud, or-what was
it? There is strong alliance near
hele-and the county will go peoples
party, but some one is failing to do
their duty. We promptly declined
to deliver an address. 1t is an in
suit to us, and an injury to Mr.. Don
nelly. as next time people will not be-
lieve he is to speak here. With a
force of four men, three singers and
clay out" for the greatest work ever
done in political campaigning in dec
GRATED halls, we are snubbed over
and over again by not even hand
bill to advertise us. Inasmuch as we
have had difficulty In keeping our
force together, on account of just
this kind of Indifference, we will drop
the Institute work in this campaign
until we enter a neighboring state in
October, where we will have proper
attention, and mass meetings OF
from $500 to 5000 people.
But, personally, we will fill every
appointment, and make the al
dresses as advertised, excepting in
the forenoon. Wherever addresses
are advertised in the forenoon they
will be omitted.
That is, we will fill these appoint
ments where they care enough about
it to advertise our meetings.

Here is another instance added to
the many where the lords of mon
opoly-the plutocratic anarchists
defy the laws of the land. President
Mcleod of the Reading combine,
does not hesitate to pass judgment
in a very irreverent and confident
manner upon the opinion filed in the
great Reading combine suit, by
Chancellor McGill, OF New Jersey, who
says that the combine is illegal, that
it reaches beyond the limit of cor
porate power, is huge monopoly
and a great injustice to the masses OF
the people, this he said in substance.
His opinion goes Misunderstanding,
that the franchises of railroad COM
PAM in one commonwealth cannot
be extended to a railroad company
in another state, that this company
known as the Reading combine, twas
not duly authorized, but was ex-
pressly forbidden by law" Now the
great mogul of the combine, Presi-
dent Mcleod, steps forth and pro-
nounces his dictum: "This decision
will have as much effect as if the in
iuction were directed against the
Sioux Indians And to verify his
say-so, there was a conference, on
that same day, in New York City, OF
the eastern and western agents OF the
coal Barons, and an advance-there
had been an increase in price but a
short time previous-of twenty-five
cents tom on stove and chestnut
coal was made. You remember when
this combine was first formed the old
party papers kept posting their read
ers to the effect that it was intended
to bring the price of coal down. In
stead of that the price OF miners
wages has gone down, and the price
of their products has gone up. Coal
retailed at eight-dollars per ton in
St. Paul last year at this time, and
that was SC andalous-now at the be-
ginning of the season it is 1885, and
We are all holding our breath to
know what goal it will reach later on.

to arbitrate the switchmen's strike in
compliance with the state law of New
York.

The laboring men all over the

At Glyndon DR.. Fish found not a
solitary bill issued to advertise the
Institute, and of course, an extrem-
ely small meeting. The same thing
occurred at Ada-and very nearly no
meeting at all. At 5 o'clock some
small bills were gotten out and
a small meeting OF town people held.
Some may think that we ought not
to report these small meetings.
There ought to be an overwhelm-
ing change in method OF administra-
ton OF peoples party business in
some sections of the state-or there
will be pestilence at the ballot box
next November. The DR.. loves this
work, has been in it three years
without recompense-and he is an
eloquent advocate who strikes
strongly and we'll. We say this in
his absence-and suggest that if he
continues in this work the indiffer-
ence now prevalent must cease
vigorously

farmers to the value of a handbill-
and a cloud" one too! About two

will teach them what business men
have been 400 years in learning.

Mr.. Donnelly, in his speech at Nor
mama Hall at Minneapolis, recently,
extinguished Mr.. LAWYERS labor day
speech in the following characteristic
manner:
Il want to say a few words in re-
ply to point made by Mr.. Lawler
in his address at the labor demon
stration today. 1t is stated he de-
clared there is no remedy in laws or
craftsmanship for the evils affecting
the working classes, and expressed
the opinion that forbearance, mod
Grafton and intelligence will do more
to solve the question than all the
platforms of all of the political par
ties. This means that there is no
remedy in law but that the working
classes may keep on amusing them
selves by organizing. This declara,
ton Of Mr.. LAWYERS reminds me OF
the old rhyme:
There was old lady said how
Shall conquer his COW?
will sit on the stile and continue to smile
1t may soften the heart OF the cow
"This represents Mr.. LAWYERS idea
OF the position the working classes
should take. The trouble with him
is that he has not kept pace with the
advanced ideas of government. He
is 800 years behind his time. He
should have run for governor years
before Columbus discovered Am
erica"
