Let 1t Be Remembered

Cut this out and keep it. Next
fall Washburn will ask for legisla-
ture to re-elect him United Sta tes
senator. Let has part IN the silver fight
mever be forgotten. The Minneapolis
Journal of Oct. 3lst says:
"Senator Washburn has rendered
conspicuous service to the cause Of
sound money during the extra session
and added largely to influence
and strength in that body. His res
olute and unwavcring adherence to
the cause Of unconditional repe.l
was one Of the most effective forces
to the accomplishment Of that re-
suit. A preventative in the lower
house said to the Journal the other
day: 81 do not owe Bill Washburn
anything politically, but | want to
say with regard to him, in cunnec-
ttQn with this silver fight, that there
are not half dozen men in the sem
ate who WELD as much influence as
he does with Otner members Of the
upper house."
And the Minneapolis Tribune of
thcssame date said:
Lie senators from NUfLn ana
South Dakota voted against the sub
stnute and aligned themselves with
the PETER. Stewart crowd. Only
ABOUT half the democrats stood ia
lihe with the president, and most of
them would have surrendered had it
not been for John Sherman and
Washburn, who stood like rocks for
repeal, and made the democratic sen
attifS ashamed Of themselves.
Just as certainly as the republicans
elect the next legislature, Tom Low
n will insist that Bill shall be re-
Elected; and the water-closets of the
Fca pitol will become once more bank
ing houses for the exchange of large
quantities of currency. And Bill will
Ne bi-metallist by that time.

The Pine Land RObberieS.

The legislative investigating COM
mittee, of which Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly is chairman, is hard at work
and making most astounding rcvela-
tions. The committee are all good
men and are honestly trying to save
the property Of the state; they should
be remembered, without regard to
party. They arc Senators Donnelly,
Leavitt and Eaton, and Representa-
tives Staples, McGrath, Jacobson
and Cotton. A number of prUsecu.
tions will be instituted by the com
mittee. Senator W. S. Dedon, of Tay.
lors Falls, is sergeant at arms, an
honest and most efficient man. Think
of a case where the state was paid
for 217 900 feet taken from school
section, while actual scaling shows
that the amount taken WAS over ''sev-
en- million teet." Mr.. Donnelly the 9th
er day sent Mr.. Dedon a letter from
Il third party in reference to 2OO,O0U
feet b ing stolen from the state. Mr..
Dedon writes back that he will look
up the matter, and adds, 81 have
commenced to find out that a steal of
10000 to 100000 feet is small one;
for we find them up here (Itasca coun-
ty) by the million, on each section!"
The state school fund has been
about as badly robbed as the farmers,
and, in many instances, by the same
rascals.
Is it possible to stop it? That rests
with the people.

Corruption of Populist Leaders.

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 1O.-Mrs,
Mary Lease places the responsibility
Tor the defeat of the Kansas pOpu.
lists upon the state administration,
winch she charges with being cor
rupt. She criticises severly Gov.
Leweliing, by whose appointment
she holds place on the state board
OF charities that pays her $1,000 a
year, and she repudiates United
States Senator Martin as unworthy
the support of the peoples party.
mo party" said Mrs. Lease, ''has
ever been disgraced with more cor
rupt men than are some of those
who hold positions of trust under
the pOpuli>t administration. I sup
pose an effort will be made to re-
nominate the same men who are at
present holding office, but ii they be
renOminated it will be death to the
peoples party"
No party ever existed that had
more to contend with than the peo-
pies party. We know nothing of the
truth OF Mrs. Leases charges. She
is an honest, great woman; but she
may have ''gone off the handle in
this matter" But we do know that
the populist leader who stands
straight in these perilous times, is
as one man out of ten thousand.
We are fighting wrongs which vastly
enrich the wrong-doers, and nothing
is more natural than that they
should take a tithe of the plunder,
and seek to buy up the peoples lead
ers to betray the cause of reform.
On the one side it is usually poverty,
and on the other, great wealth.
"the dread extremes Of mighty op-
posites." And the worst Of it is,
that if the populist leader refuses to
sell out he is at once covered with a
lifetime deluge Of lies and filthy
abuse; but il he does sell out he is
pattcd on the back. defended, and
pushed forward to success. Under
such circumstances only that man
who has an overwhelming religious
sense of duty to humanity can stand
firm. He must be willing to give
up ambition and seltshness, and
walk to the arena, like the ancient
christian martyrs, to be torn limb
from limb and dcvourcd, by the wild
beasts of plutocracy. And in this
materialstic, sceptical, sneering,
s'buSineSS- mans apc.n there are few
indeed capable of such self-sacrifice.
Honesty-Honcsty-is the first great
necessity for tue struggle in which
we gre engaged. I. D.

Revolution Among the Mud-sill

Revolution Among the Mud-sills.
Here is striking evidence of the
great change that is being silently
wrought in the people Of this coun-
try,-a saving change, full Of great
promise for the future of the human
race:
The best educated people of New
York live in the SlumS, writes a cor
respondent of the Pttsburg Dis
patch. Herbert Spencer is read
more in the Bowery than in Fifth
avenue. Fourth avenues shabby
houses shelter a greater mum rer OF
Remains admirers than do the palaces
near Central Park. John jacob AStor
never read Aristotle and knows nOth-
ing Of Catullus. The members of a
bricklayers' union, that meets up a
back street, turned out in force the
otner night to listen to discourse
by one OF their number on the Punic
wars. If the poor of Gotham stopped
reading the newspapers and pcriOdi-
calls. some OF Americas greatest
literary men would lind their occupa-
tiOnS gone.
1t is this curious inconsistency
that prompted recent article in the
Forum by Il celebrated American UNI
der the caption changers of an IRE
sponsible Educated Class" Bishop
Potter thinks tile pleasure seeking
propensiticS Of wealthy New Workers
and their neglect Of matters purely
intellectual are largely the causes Uf
that decline Of patriotism lie SO
greatly deplores. Henry Geurge as
ScrtS that the poor are waking up.
Reading is the lest preparation for
that social revolution they daily look
forward to. ''To whom do you sell
this stuff" 1 asked ali elevated rail
road newsman whose counter was
piled with the hottest Of Frances
salacious literary wares. "WOmen
aud men," he answered, with lots
of time and money. You don't sup
pose Il person making few dnllars Il
day would spend it for books like
these, that cost 81 a piece:"
A BOOKSELLER whose wares are high
priced said that his wealthy custom
erS crave French fiction, while phil
osophy, history and essays 70 beg
ging. Down town, where the second
hand bookstores thrive, solid reading
matter is in steady demand among
the toilers, Whose pockets are lest
lined on pay day. New York carpcn-
ters, clerks, boOkkcepers and me-
clanics are responsible for Il heavy
percentage OF the trade in real litcra-
ture."
1t this thing goes on the republic
will live and not die. "He who reads,
rules, and the caste whose thoughts
are absorbed by French sensuality
and bcastliness will become pOwerless
in spite Of their money, and rot of
the face Of the earth, and leave be-
hind them imbeciles nastier. and
more powerless than themselves.

gotten up to prevent interferences
NTH the rObberics which afflict tho
people. The evil he complains of
must continue through another crop
season. This biennial, ninety-day
business is justified on the ground
or economy, and it ccsts the people
about $4,000 q year for every dollar
saved. But the fools are happy and
continue to vote the old party
tickets.
1t is to the interest of the farmer
that the thesler should feel safe in
thrcshing his grain, without being
cut out by some money-lcnding shark.
Safety for the thresher means lower
raj es for threshing.
Our correspondent should call this
matter up at the next annual meet
ing OF the state alliance, January 9Th,
1894, at Minneapolis, and have action
taken upon it. I'D.

PAUL,

and the highest national civilization
the world has ever beheld? 1t is
bosh and trash; and the men who
utter such nonsense knLw it is bOsh
and trash. 1t is simply bug-bear,
"a thing of sticks and rags,-set up
by knaves to arrest the march Of
human progress.
Nothing can be palmer than that
the world has developed to such pro-
portions that it has outgrown the
metallic basis of money; and man.
kind must either abandon it or see
the earth's swarming millions sink
into bankruptcy and wretchedness.
And this is especially true since the
of one half of that
metallic money,-silver. But in get
ting clear Of the prehistoric metal
lie superstition the world is likely
to be plunged into the most dread
full revolutions ever known In the
history Of the planet.
There are ,me who can only see
the dollar and not the man. While
they howl about the depreciation of
the assignats, or our own discred
tied green backs, they forget that
by means of the first the French
carried on a gigantic war for several
years and hurled back the huge
armies of the invading mOnarchies;
and tablished successful revOlu-
tion which has been of incalculable
good to mankind. They forget that
our greenbacks, at so per cent dis
count, maintained the armies of this
nation and preserved the life of
liberty in our land. Are these
things nothing? II either the peo-
pie or the finances of the land have
got to be degraded let it be the
finances. But the deterioration of
neither is necessary. l. d.

The Lesson of the Elections.

gThe lesson is plain one. All the
areat states Of the east, the middle
oates and those Of the northeast
IRE welded in solid body to destroy
oliver as IA primary money. The states
bf the south upon which they border
are partly infected with the virus.
The south and the entire west be-
tween the Pacific ocean and the
Missouri river are solid for restoring
silver to its old status as primary
money and giving it free coinage
with gold at the mlnts. The east
land northeast place mOnOmetallism
above party. The south and west
Should do the same thing for BIZ
MctaIlism. 1t is the gold party
against the bimetallic party. Both
tile republican and democratic par
ties are irreclaimably in the clutch
of the gold power; the peoples party
is the only political organization
that draws is inspirations from the
misses OF the people.-Denver News,

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT.
Annual Meeting of the State Far.
merS Alliance.

The next annual state convention
of the State Farmers Alliance will be
held on the
Second Tuesday in January
1894, in the city of Minneapolis, in
the Lumber Exchange hall. It will
probably continue for three days.
Addresses will he delivered by S. M.
Owen, w. w. Erwin, John Arnold
Keyes, and others. While the terri
BILE financial conditions will keep
many away we nevertheless hope for
good attendance. The meeting
will be a. very important one; and
many important subjects will be con-
sidered. Arrangements will be made
for reduced railraad rates and moder-
ate board at hotels. Let all hands
turn out and make it love feast.
Besides the speakers named short
addresses are expected from Genl. T.
II. Barrett, Hon. Chas. Canning. l..
G. Long, j. I. Vermilya, R. J. Hall
and host of others.
When 1t costs the entire crop of sirty
acres Of ,oheat-lamd to pay the erpenses Of
the journey from the Red River Valley to
Minneapolis and return, we expect
many local alliances will 60 unrep-
resented. But let them club togcth-
er and unite to send one man to rep
resent several; or let them select a
representative from some alliance
nearer the place of meeting. Don't
let our enemies suppose that poverty
has stamped out of you the spirit to
resist oppression.
The selection of Minneapolis was
made by the State Executive Com
mittee and afterwards approved by a
meeting of all the alliance men pres
cnt at the hearing on Nov. 23d, be-
fore the railroad commissioners. Ap-
plicatiOn was made to St. Paul for q
hall, but the mayor would not even
answer the secretary's letter; while
the Minneapolis authorities prompt
ly replied, as they did last year, offer
ing us a free hall. While we feel
grateful to Minneapolis for this act
of courtesy; some of US think that
the farmers should get all they can
out Of the Mill-City; and that the
meeting of 500 delegates and alter
mates with the money they will spend
will make the free hall a wise invest
ment.

COMMENTS: This letter refers to
What is really great hardship and
injustice. Without the work of the
thresher the crop is of no avail-can-
not be arkctcd-by either the
farmer or the mortgagee. It is
against all principles OF equity that
A should spend his labor and money
to make the property Of B and c
available and convertible into cash
and get nothing for it. Early in the
last session Senator Wood, of Warren,
IA pOpulist) introduced bill Is. F.
23) to give the thresher prior lien
for his work. 1t came up in the SEN
ate February Is, 1893, spoke and la
bored for it, and it was passed by a
vote Of 80 yeas and nays. 1t went
to the House and on April Is, on mo-
tion of Hon. H. F. Wagner, Of the
SD district (popuiist.) it was placed
on the Calendar, and there it died the
death of sudOcatiOn, with hundreds
Of other equally good bills, beca use it
could not be reached before adjourn
ment! And since the hundreds and
hundreds Of good men, like our cor
respondent, have been robbed of the
fruits Of their honest industry, be-
cause the corporations insist for
their own safety, that legislation
shall only exist, in this state, for 90
days in two years, or for 45 days a
year on an average. Here was good
measure, against which there was
practically no opposition, killed. by
denying the people the right to make
their own laws, except during the
limited period which the rings, trusts
and corporations concede to them.
And our correspondent is mistaken
in surprising that there is a session
of the legislature next January.
There is nothing of the kind. Tho
legislature will not meet until 95.
This is another device of the enemy,
