THE GROWING INFAMY.

The State Elevator Crushed. The
Lawyers are Our Masters.
The effort of the farmers to escape
from the robberies of the wheat ring
by the erection of state elevator at
Duluth, built with the farmers mon
ey, has been defeated by the supreme
court, at the dictation of the robbers.
The will of the people counts for
nothing. Judge Willis is overruled
and revised. The legislature is struck
in the face,-spit upon! We are no
longer free people. A coterie>Oe
lawyers, majority of whom were Sc
lected by the corporations, sitting on
the supreme bench, are masters of
the destinies of the million and a
half people dwelling in this state of
Minnesota.
Shall we submit to such tyranny?
If we do, let us abolish all elections
and legislatures, and ask the railroad
nabobs to pick out the oligarchy that
is to govern us.
But the end is not yet.

a fight to the death. I'D.

The Annual Meeting.

We look for a large attendance.
Sec. 3, Art. III of the constitution of
the S. F. A. provides that "the ses-
sions of the state alliance shall be
held with closed doors," and only the
officers and members permitted to be
present. The delegates will show
their credentials to the Sergeant-at-
arms.
The first day and night, the 9th,
will be devoted to business. The
night of the tenth there will be an
open meeting to which the public are
invited, and at which speeches will
be made on the questions of the day
This meeting is also expected to be a
reunion of the peoples party Of the
state, and a "good time" generally is
expected.

The other night some highwaymen
attacked two young men in st. Paul;
the local paper says:
"Ten minutes later two young fell
lows broke into the office In the same
condition, as to wind and excitement,
as Dick had short time previous.
AS soon as the late arrivals could get
their breath they told a story of their
experience which matched the one re-
lated by Dick, except that the high
waymen had stopped them and made
a search of their clothes. One of the
victims had only three cents in cash.
This so enraged the fellow who was
searching him that the highwayman
took him by the collar and assisted
his departure greatly by kicking him
for half a block, finally telling him,
with string of oaths, that he ought
to be killed for coming out with SO
little money in his pockets"

Nothing illustrates more perfectly
the utter helplessness of the people
than the battle with the coal com
bine, inagurated last winter.
The two houses of the legislature
appointed a joint committee to in.
quire into the exactions of an al
legged coal combine, operating in this
state, with headquarters in the
twin-cities. The committee were in
formed that a man named John j.
Rhodes, nominally dealer in
Mccormick self binders, and other
agricultural machinery in Hastings,
was the head-center of the "com-
bine." They sent for him, and put
him under oath. He swore that he
knew of no such combination; that he
did not belong to it; that they did

The Hard Times. "Busting" tn
Play-ActOrs.
A St. Paul paper says:


Manager Jacob Lift, of the Grand
terday, having come direct from New
York to be on hand at the opening
performance of his latest success, in
Old Kentucky" here Sunday night,
Mr.. Lift has not been in St. Paul
since the close of his summer stock
season in July. In speaking of the
depression in the theatrical trade,
Mr.. Lift said:
"Never in the history of the show
business has there been such de-
preston. Companies have been
closing and coming into New York
steadily for the past two months,
and it is estimated that there are 1000
idle actors IN Ne,u York today. Things
may brighten after the holidays, but
l very much doubt it. There is toe
much distress and destitution in the
country, and the people haven't
money to spend for amuSementS. On.
ly the new and stronger attractions
seem to be holding their own. Busi
ness in ST. Paul is no worse than any
where else in the country. In Chica

they are starving, to use an express

nonsense and legitimate basis

The st. Paul Globe, Democratic.
The year 1873. Let us see! That
was the year the republican party de-
monetized silver; and the same year
the tramps began to appear. Now
there are three or four million of
them. Why? Because the democrats
in 1893 completed the work begun by
the republican in 1872. They repeal
ed the law to purchase 4,5OO, 900
ounces of silver every month, and to
turn out nearly $4,000, 900 a month of
additional paper money; and thus in
tensified all the evils of republican
legislation. The Globe should be
ashamed to refer to the republican
mis-government. The democratic
party has consummated it under the
leadership of that distinguished re-
publican, John Sherman. The demo
cratic party is more servile tool OF
Wall Street than ever the republi-
cans were. I'D.

More Monopoly.

Cleveland's administration seems
to be developing bad features on all
sides. We read in the recent proceed
ings of the U. S. Senate:
During the transaction of morn
ing business Mr.. Frye (Rep., Me-
rose and said:
About two years ago French
cable company made application to
our secretary of state, Mr.. Blaine,
for permission to land it's cable from
Brazil on the coast of the
United States. Our secretary of
state Investigated the matter and
found that the company was, by au
thOrity of law of Brazil, a monopoly;
that no other company while that
power was in existence, and it was in
existence, and it was in perpetuum,
could be permitted to land cable
on the Brazilian coast. So our Secre-
tary of state refused to grant the
permission. / am Informed, whether
gtfue or not l cannot say, that that
ecompany has recently appeared be-
fore the secretary of state, and that
he has granted to this company the
right which they asked. If this be
true, and there is no remedy to be
had for it, then the United States
will be perpetually kept from landing
any cable on the coast of Brazil"
In view of these facts he offered
resolution making inquiry of the sec
retary of state as to whether this
was true.
A great many populists wanted us,
July, 1892, to nominate Gresham for
president, and got up tremendous
hurrah to that end. Gresham would
have liked the nomination without
being trammeled with our platform
or principles. 1 was one of those
who fought that proposition. Gres-
ham is either knave or a fool, or an
incongruous combination of both.
He has been trying to reinstate a
mulatto savage, of immoral charac-
ter, on the throne of Hawaii by the
overthrow of a republic; and now it
seems he is laboring to establish a
monopoly for all time. Lucky we
had nothing to do with such a dis
honest weakling. IL

Yes. And yet your readers believe

now you turn your back on yourself,

parts of the world. Have you not
