The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1893-02-24
THE ALLIANCE,

Chicago Sentinel: Can anything
more tyrannical be imagined than that
policy of the United States govern
ment which DEGREES that itself alone
shall coin money and then refuses
to coin one of the two great metals of
which all metal money is made.
The Toiler: The Peoples party
badly needs national daily news
paper that can be relied on. Such
paper, in our opinion, would be well
patronized. If every statecould have
a daily Peoples party paper it would
be better, but we can't hope for that
luxury until we get little older.
Reform journal, Ore: Judge Gresh-
am has rendered decision to the eff
feet that the interstate commerce
commission is an administrative af-
fair and not a judicial body and there
fore cannot force witnesses to attend
and testify. The commission will
now have nothing to do but to draw
their salaries; just about what the
railroads wanted.
National Watchman: So far as the
majority ofthe people are concerned,
they are not burdened with any kind
of money, old, WORKOUT or otherwise,
to be afraid of the bacteria so much
feared by Congressman Cultivate.
There.are but few in our acquaintance
who will not run the chance of this
bacteria if they can get their hands
on the money.
Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
Editors of reform papers when they
read the glowing accounts of the
good roads that are going to be con-
structed all over the United States,
should not forget that the scheme
contemplates the creation of a ma
tional commissioner of public high
ways with "a whole retinue of subor-
dinates, and the issue of government
bonds to pay for the proposed i'm
provements; and they should not
forget to tell the people these
facts.
National Waterman: The misera-
BILE deception practiced by the two
old parties in regard to their real
status on the free coinage of silver is
now apparent to all. That both par
ties lied as to their true position on
that question in both platforms there
is now no reason for doubt. Had
they come out square against free
coinage, and demanded. as they do
now, it's complete demonstration,
Weaver would have been elected
president. AS; it is, the people have
been basely deceived, and will de-
mand reprisals at the next election.
The Farmers Voice: The farmer
believes that he has as much right to
enjoy the benefits of free mail de-
larger towns have; and he has. There
is no sort of justice in compelling the
farmer to ride into town, often at ex-
ceedingly inconveniert times, to get
an important letter or to wait several
days before he can conveniently go.
The producer ON our farms does
enough for the welfare of this great
republic to be entitled to something
from the government; and he gets
mighty little.
Chicago Express: Oh, yes; this is
"a wonderfully prosperous country
for about. one man out of twenty. But
we notice that sheriff's sales are the
prevailing advertisements in country
papers, just the same. One paper in
Nebraska shows: a. seven column page
of solid :nonpareil- nearly all fore
closures on mortgages. We hear a
great deal nowadays about ..satisfac-
tion of mortgages. " It would get
right down to to the business did we
call them satisfaction of mortgages, >
as the chap thatholds the mortgage
is generally the sonly one salts
fed with the s.satisfaction.
National Watchman: We are ours
ed with lawyers in the hall of legisla-
ton; men who are trained in the art
of trickery land deception; men who
for hire will prostitute their powers
in the defense ,of any crime; men
who, when they hang out their sign.
announce to- the public ''my services
are for hire mo matter who may want
them" Their natural instincts lead
to complicating the law with mass
of technicalities in order to furnish
business for the profession, and
have. so far, succeeded that we have
10000 in this country, where we
ought TO have lhnt few.
Journal of the Knights of Labor
Our revolution will be the last, and
the laws made 10y us and our success
sors will remain forever-that is ito
say, as long as there are human be-
ings upon the face of this globe-be-
cause they will he in harmony with
the laws expressing the movements
and development of the universe.
Reason is eternal; the illogical sys-
TENS the world has seen heretofore
were shattered one after the other
So the present system of capitalism
and wage-slayery wild be shattered.
Workingmen of America, will yon
rise in your might to make laws fol-
yourselves?
