The State Agricultural Society.


1t is highly honored. One of it's
recent presidents, Bushnell, is now a
fugitive from justice in Mexico or
Central America; and his estate will
yield eight-tenths of one cent on the dollar'
Bully for Bushnell. Another presi-
dent, Burwell, is also badly busted.
But this is "the business mans age;"
and these were "business men,"
The State Agricultural Society is a
hoax and humbug;-village coteries
kept alive by state donations; old
party city politicians with side-draft
agricultural affiliations.
The village and the city, as usual,
swallows the country. The state
agricultural college is an appendage
of the university. The toes of the
hay-seed's cow-hide boots peer out of
the corners of Prof. Northrup's
mouth; that is all there is of it; and
the friends and co-laborers of Menage
run the whole business, in the name
of God and humanity. Selah!
A general turning over is needed.
The politics of the state should be
subsoiled and new earth brought to
the top. I. D.

The blood of our social body is no
longer the medium carrying nour-
lsment to all the parts, but it is
collecting at the heart, the organ of
its circulation, and a few minor
points, swelling these in Importance
but leaving all the other parts ex-
hausted and ready to die.
The Tribune now wants us to un-
derstand from this that the Almighty
Creator from the beginning placed
New York in the geographical posi-
tlon that it's banks should accumu-
late the country's money at the rate
OF $lO,0CO,OOO per week.
Oh dear Minnesota! What hast
thou done to envoke the wrath of
thy God and Creator? Why vert
thou hurled outside those happy
realms, where money was destined
to accumulate?
Men have nothing to do with this.
Oh no. Legislation has not done this,
nor can it erer do anything for it.
Class legislation has never, no never.
been tolerated in this republic of
ours, nor will it euer be tolerated Gin

The Presidents Message.

Just as we expected Cleveland urg-
es congress to leave the silver ques-
tion alone, and asks for power to is
sue more bonds, in time of profound
peace. We were told that if the sill
ver-purchase part of the Sherman
law OF 1890 was repealed good times
would follow, and then silver would
be remonetized. The greater part of
the men who voted for repeal, de-
clared they were in favor of bi-met-
lism. Cleveland's patronage and
Wall streets corruption fund Sc
cured the repeal of the essential part
of the Sherman law:-times have
grown worse instead Of better; and
now Cleveland-the arch-tool of the
y-poWer,-says congress is to let
the silver question alone! The thing
is settled! The country is on a gold
mono-metallic basis and nothing
will be done unless a political revolu-
tion puts the populists in power.
And down, down go prices; failures
in every direction. The world is
shriveling, like baked apple.
But we must have more bonds
bOndS-bOndS! Three hundred mil
lion of them. So that the national
banking system may be made eternal
and every dollar of currency in the
country represents dollar of debt.
The people have the remedy in
their hands. 1t is the ballot. Will
they use it? Id.

The SteenersOn Case Against the
Great Northern,

The further hearing of this case
having been postponed till January
10th, we hope the farmers will con-
tinue to send in their petitions to the
governor and the railroad commits
sioners. There is hope that political
eXigencies may compel the granting
of some relief. Make the alliance
state convention of January 9, 1894,
grand success: and then let the
convention take the lnter-urban cars
on the 10th or 1lth and call upon the
governor and the commissioners in a
body as petitioners.
Mr.. Halvor Steenerson has proved
his case. There is no necessity for
more witnesses. The freight rates
of the road and the price Of wheat
connot be disputed, and that makes
the case When it costs sc. a bushel
more to ship wheat 300 miles from
Crookston to Minneapolis than it
does from Minneapolis to Chicago,
4UO, miles no more witnesses nor ar
gument are necessary. And when an
unsavory fellow, with his evil nature
stamped on every line of his forbid
ding countenance, forced himself in
to the discussion to make stump
speech amid the grins of the railroad
attorneys, he was simply repeating
platitudes that the railroad commits
sion know a thousand times better
than he did. What is wanted is to
let the commissioners understand
that the people demand cheaper rates
of freight and must have them; and
that they will pull down the political
"shebang" Of any men or party that
stands in the road. Make that thor
oughly manifest and the greed of
the corporations will have to give
way to the necessities of the politi-
clans. It is the ballot box that
counts, not the wordy harangues of
dilapidated scoundrels, ticketed, like
merchants goods, with the price
mark on their backs. The north
wind whistling through key-hole,
would be more efficacious.
Let the state alliance visit the cap
itol in body and present a series Of
the strongest resolutions that can be
drawn. /. ID.

Right in Our Line.

The Minneapolis Evening Tribune
says in it's issue of the 4th inst that
there is plenty money in this coun-
try. In fact more than there has
been any time before in this country
or any other country. France ex-
cepted. That there is more than
enough for the business transacted
in the United States. 1t calls the
addition of $lO0,0O0,O0O to the circu-
lating medium during the year, a
phenomenal event, etc. etc. But it
dares no make this statement in the
face of the many business failures
without giving some kind of eXpla-
nation of this condition of affairs.
And this is the way it manages to
creep around this dilema. It says,
Zone of the present troubles how
ever, is the unequal geographical dis-
t,ibatiom' of money"
Hurrah for the Tribune! Eureka!
We have found it at last! That
which we have known these many
years. The geographical distribu-
tion of the country's cash is not
right. It is never distributed to our
pockets. 1t is in the hands of a few
and the worst of it is that these
few, when they feel like it, will pull
it in and hold it SO tightly that
green woods and fertile fields can
not lure any of it out. They know
that the inhabitants of those geo
graphical money marts are so few,
and that those outside are SO many
that they safely set their own price
on their money without any fear of
overproduction, or close competition.
The greatness of this country and
the immensity of the volume of busi-
ness transacted require all the cash
that can be spared, and the holders
of it know that. But it has now
pleased their excellencies to draw
it out of the channels where it
ought to be. Its real function, that
of facilitating exchange, has been
changed into a kind of jack-skrew
motion whereby the value of labor
is lowered, and the rate of interest
elevated, or increased.

better than for faction of our par
ty to split up and organize a new
one. The "mOney trust" would hail
apd aid such movement with joy,
because it knows that nothing will
destroy party quicker than to have
it divided into hostile factions. If
the Omaha platform is not right,
then all we have to do is to make it
so. The power which created that
platform can also amend it. But no
individual, no committee, or faction
has the right to strike out one word
The authority for a revision must
be derived from the consent of those
who voted our ticket last year. The
national committee represents the
million men who stood by our prin-
ciples in 1892, and I believe that I
voice the sentiment of this commit
tee when say that we will not dis
regard their wishes, barter away
their organization or permit any fac
tion or click to trample their rights
under foot. [ agree with Governor
Waite of Colorado, who said "that
our platform is neither inspired or
infallible," and / also believe that
a revision to certain extent is nee
essary, but let this revision come
through it's legitimate channel-THE
PEOPLE WHO VOTED OUR TICKET.
In my opinion the money question
is the greatest issue of the age and
ought to be settled first. Others
say the silver question is the most
important. Others again say that
the transportation question is the
greatest of all. In order to deter
mine which one of these great ques-
tions is to become the only plank in
our platform we must call a prelim-
mary national convention to revise
it. This is the only legitimate way
out. If revision Of our platform
is necessary, then we can do no bet
ter than to plant our banner square
ly on Jeffersonian democracy and
Lincoln republicanism. This is COM
mon ground upon which all can
stand. II. E. TAUBENECK.

NAMES.
Certainly this country needs more
currency. The issue Of $500, ,OOO, 900
would at once lift the nation out Of
the slough of despond. Its distribu-
tion throughout the different states,
in the agricultural regions, would
help 4the farmers amazingly; and the
good roads that would be built would
be an inestimable boon to all classes.
Even should congress refuse the re-
quest of the petitions, as the present
congress is very likely to do, the cir
culation Of the petitions could do
good at home: and this presentation
would force congress to consider the
question of the inadequacy of the
-urrency for the wants of the peo-
pie. We talk about the "initiative
in legislation" There should be
public spirit enough to at least flood
our servants at Washington with
petitions. Stir them up. Let them
understand that the people are
alive, and have not yet sunk into
silent serfdom.
Send the petitions to Hon. II. g..

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. 1t will
probably continue for three days.
Addresses will be 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
a good attendance. The meeting
will be 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 a 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 sac
acres of scheat-land to pay the expenses 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 togeth-
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
ent at the hearing on Nov. 23d, be-
fore the railroad commissioners. Ap-
plication was made to St. Paul for a
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 wise invest
ment.
