Messrs. Griggs & Co.: Enclosed please find

groceries were very satisfactory with the excep-
ton OF the peaches which we will return to YOU
asking for credit on our next ORDER should YOU
agree with US that they not up to the stand
ard. There was also one can of corn short; but
the box bore evident signs of having been open
ed, and the shrnkage occurred since leaving Your
warehouse. You ask us how we are pleased with
your groceries. 1t gives great pleasure to
say that have been dealing with your firm for
upwards OF three ears, and | have yet to find
the first mi. take in weight or Misrepresentation
OF goods. / have also to thank YOU for your
willing promptitude in making ght any little
mistake or oversight, which must of necessity
occur in so large and diversified trade as
yours. The groceries are in nearly every in
stance superior to those sold in our retail stores
here, and the prices are SO much lower that we
consider it our chief economy in housekeeping to
deal with your house. The prunes which you
sent us at twelve cents sre quite a revelation to
us when we compare them with the dusty. dirty
trash which we are compelled to buy here. The
apricots, too. seem to us the perfection of Fruit

Elk RIVER, June q, '92.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The Peoples Party Institute con-
vened in the village OF Elk River, on
Monday and Tuesday, June 20 and
21. The speakers and singers met
with d cordial welcome by the citizens
OF Sherburne and Anoka Co.'S. There
was no morning session on the first
day because the train which bore the
institute force did not arrive in time.
In spite Of the fact that the farmers
felt that they ought to be working
in their corn, to keep down the weeds
which have grown very fast during
the rainy weather, yet the Institute
was pronounced a success. These
counties have heretofore been rather
backward in the alliance movement,
but now the interest in the independ-
ent party movement is growing
steadily and rapidly, and the peo-
pies party will undoubtedly poll a
large vote in these two counties.
Get ready for the Institute at Prince
ton on Aug. Is. A LISTENER.

The Brown county peoples party
received big boost last Friday.
Ignatius Donnel]y spoke to mass
meeting in the public park in this
place. Over 1000 people for two
hours listened with intense interest
to the unanswerable address of our
great Donnelly. His remarks to the
citizens and merchants were timely,
inasmuch as there has always been a
feeling among the latter that the pur-
poses ofthe peoples party were mimi
cal to their interests. Mr.. D. convin-
ced them that the interest OF both
were Identical. We believe that the
address will make for our cause many
converts. Many old party adherents
have told us that they would vote
with us this fall. w. R. HODGES.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in it's curative
powers. that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

night was success under very ad-
verse circumstances. The e. O. %.

eau the big storm Wednesday night
caused a break in the railroad and
delayed the train. Mr.. Donnelly tel
egraphed to hold the audience,
which L. c. Long, our candidate for

ductOry sheech. At 10 o. m. the
train arrived and Mr.. Donnelly hast
ened to the hall which even at this
late hour was packed with people
many of whom had come from 5 to

The hosts are marshalling for one
of the mightiest conflicts ever wit
messed on earth. On one side are
the minions of Satan-the gold
worshipers-entrcnched in wealth,
backed by ignorance and vice; cor
rupt to the core, arrogant and conf
dent, relentless and cruel. On the
other side, the great middle class OF
Americas truest and best SONS
lovers of human liberty; OF un-
daunted courage, ready to lay down
their lives if need be, and sacrifice
property to the last farthing.
We hear the mutterings Of the
coming storm, and soon we will hear
the roar of battle. The contest will
be long and terrific, but the peoples
deliverer will yet hurl the traitors
over the battlements of our fair re-
public, and Americas sons shall be
free forever.

Geo. T. Anthony, nominee for con-
gressmsn-a t-large, has, it's claimed,
publicly expressed himself as being
in favor of the wealthy classes con-
trolling the government. This fact
accounts for his nomination for coh-
gress. There is no other reason why
he should have received the nomina-
ton. He has hosts Of personal enc
mics. While drawing a salary as
railroad commissioners, paid by the
people, he favored the railroads.
At the last session of the Legislature
he bitterly opposed railroad legisla-
ton, going further even than the
railroad attorneys. The late differ
ence between the railroad commiss-
toner's and the railroad companies
was a by-play arranged to secure Mr..
Anthony's nomination and election.
Mr.. Anthony is able. The corpo-
rations can make use Of limited
number of Funstons, but they have
use for brains. Anthony can fur
nish the brains, and can use them for
plutocracy without scruple, because
he believes that plutocracy should
rule. ''The people be damned is
Anthony's motto.

The Democrats say there was no
use passing the silver bill, as the
senate would defeat, or the presi-
dent veto it, if passed by the house.
Well, what, then, is the use OF fool
ing away time on tariff bills? Won't
the senate or the President defeat
any good tariff measure also? Oh,
yes, say the Democrats, but we want
to put ourselves on record as favor
ing, and the Republicans as oppos-
ing, a reduction of the tariff. Why,
then, did you not put yourselves on
record in favor Of free silver and
force the Republicans on record as
against it? The answer is plain: it
was because you yourselves were
not in favor of free silver. Peoples

THERE is no gambling in yard
sticks-no talk about intrinsic
value Of yard-sticks-and men who
contract to deliver so many yards of
cloth at future time do so knowing
that there will be no yard-stick pan
les, and that the measure will remain
exactly the same in length. The
same thing ought to exist in finan-
cial matters. There ought to be
but one kind of dollar, and that dol
lar should always have one hundred
cents in the payment Of all debts
and in exchange of all values, and
if congress should decree that every
dollar it authorized to be "struck"
would at all times contain one hum
dred cents, and receivable in pay
ment of all debts and taxes, and in
all exchanges, then all the "rot'
about "intrinsic value" and "unin-
structed Masses" and "the poor

The Two COnspfracies.

The Two COnspfrac1es.
jeff Davis and his co-conspirators
plotted disunion openly. They went
into the halls of congress and pro-
claimed state rights. They taught,
from pulpit and rostrum, that proper
ty in human beings was right. Ev-
erywhere, they openly and manfully
defended their principles. People
knew what they wanted-what they
held to. No one was in the dark.
They were sincere, and when the
time came, they jeopardized prop
ertv and life in defense of what they
believed was their inalienable right.
The North was prepared for the
blow that fell, and, by superhuman
effort, parted the blow and laid
PROSTATE the foe.
But, while farm and workshop
sent forth their best men to become
warriors, and statesmen and gener-
ais marshalled the Union hosts, and
the earth trembled with the shock
of battle, and the virgin soil was
drenched with blood, and patriots
laid down their lives, and women
mourned for their dead husbands,
sons and brothers, another conspir-
acy, deep and damnable, was con-
ceived in the dark dens Of Wall
street
No whisper reached the public
ear. There was no warning, and it's
first signs of life passed unnoticed,
or were lost in the roar of battle.
Like Lucifer plotting in Heaven, its
first warning was blow. No
ORATORS were in it's councils to-
divulge it's secrets. The alien was
at it's head. 1t was conceived in
the brain Of Rothschild, and
brought forth by renegade Ameri-
cans. The men who fought to free
despised race were to be enslaved.
All labor was to be enthralled.
Free men were to be dethroned.
Civilization was to be turned back
ward, and the hopes of the human
race were to be blotted out.
Such is the gold conspiracy OF
eighteen hundred and sixty-one, and
it has made long strides toward sue
cess; but it shall vet fail. Light is
shining in dark places. The yeo-
many are on the move, and, like
a war horse, sniff the battle from
afar.
Abdiel, on wings of light, trav-
erse the heaven OF liberty, proclaim
ing the foul treason.

The"YOung CrOwd.''

Some time since, the young Re-
publicans organized in Topeka, and
it was then presumed that they
would carry everything, politically,
in sight. So far, their most sanguine
hopes must have been realized. The
nominations are all given to the
"young crowd.
Mr.. Funston is renominated for
congress. His youth is based on
his verdancy.
Mr.. Anthony is nominated for con-
gressman-at-large. His youth is
based on second childhood.
Mr.. Ingalls, heads the national del
egation.
His youth is based on his stature.
And so on to the end of the chap
ter. Youth is everything in Kansas,
and the young crowd" may con-
graduate themselves on the success
of their organization. The old
crowd must go, and that is right.

sticklsr for discipline, and stor7 Is told
of him which Il too good to keep. Some
time ago, while on bis way to Harris
burg, the conductor Of the train bowed
as he passed, without asking To see his
ticket. On coming through the train
again, Mr.. Roberts touched his arm and
said: "Why did you not a'k for my
ticketi"
Rather abnshsd, the conductor replied
that he presumed be bad his pass.
"Do you know who l am ?" next asked
Dir. Roberts.
ayes, sir" replied the conductor,
| "you are the president Of the rosd."
"Granted that I am. 1t is your duty
to allow nobody 10 ride over this road

that in mind"
The conductor promissd 10 do SO in
