RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Executive Com
mittees of the Peoples Party
and the State Alliance.

ana the state Alliance.
Following is the full text of the
resolutions unanimously adopted by
the executive committees of the peo-
pies party and the state farmers alli-
ance at the joint session held at St.
Paul July 9Th, 1893:
ENDORSING MR.. DONNELLY.
Resolved, That we have entire
confidence in Hon. Ignatius DOnnel-
ly. We believe that he has been and
is the best friend the farmers and la
bOrers have had in Minnesota, for
the last thirty years; and that dur
ing all that time he has been the
target of plutOcracy, and their hire
lings.
Resolved, That we resent the i'm
putatiOn that the peoples party of
the state of Minnesota in the last
campaign, "fused" with the demo-
cratic party, as an absolute, unjusti-
fable falSehOOd.
ENDORSING THE REPRESENTATIVE.
"Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE, and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself commit
tee Of one to work constantly to suS-
tain it and increase it's circulation.
1t is laboring, in a moderate and
temperate spirit, to unite all ele-
mentS of reform, in this state, in
harmonious actiOn;it is owned by the
local alliances; 1t cannot and 1t ecill not
sell us out IN the crisis Of campaign;
and if it is sustained, as it should be,
it will give us the state in 1894. We
ask every local alliance and every
peoples party club and industrial
league in the state, to 60 to work at
once and help build it up and make
it great power"
This was followed by the following,
also unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By the peoples party
state central committee, that our
chairman Mr.. T. J. Meighen, is here
by requested to solicit subscriptions
of stock to our paper, the Represent
TATIvE, from such persons as in his
Judgment might be inclined to assist
our cause"
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Resolved, That we desire to say tc
the members of the peoples party of
this state, that the prospects for the
success of the principles our party
were never so bright as they are to-
day. The terrible collapse of the
business and commerce of the whole
country, and the great suffering
which is following and must follow
to the mass of the people, who labor
for living, are opening the eyes of
the voters to the fact that the finan-
cial principles of the old parties are
destructive of the country, and they
are coming over to the peoples party
by the hundreds of thousands. We
have only to stand firm by our prin-
ciples to speedily achieve state and
national triumphs.
Resolved, That in the presidential
campaign of last year we told the
people that the great issue was the
financial one; and that the Outcry of
both the old parties, about the tariff,
was simply a sham fight, agreed upon
by them, for temporary purposes, to
divert public attention from the real
questions at issue. The result has
proved the truth of our statements:
the tariff issue is now dead and
buried; the money issue is the sole
and only one before the people to-
day. We call the attention of the
voters to this to show how cunningly
they were humbugged, by the money
power, acting through the leaders of
two great agencies, the republican
and democratic parties.
All for $1.5O.
The Dakota Ruralist is one of the
pioneer alliance papers of the north
west. 1t is edited by n. L. Loucks,
president of the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial: Union,
which is sufficient guarantee that
it will be a stalwart advocate of the
alliance demands.
We have made special arrange
ments whereby we will furnish the
REPRESENTATIVE and the Ruralist
fOr$1 so.
