southern slave oligarchy
We are the poor mans party and as such
are denounced by the suppliant tools of
the money power as "longhaired, Wild

Prof. Leon D. Brown, the Peoples party
candidate for superintendent of schools for
Hennepin county, was born in Wayne
county, Michigan, 1S4S. A farmers boy,
ne worked his way from the common
school to the high school, then to the
academy and finally, 1879, graduated from
the state Normal school of Ypslanti, the
second best in the United States. Part of
this time he cooked his own meals and
walked six miles to his fathers home on
the farm, Friday afternoons he also
worked in the harvest field, sold subscrip-
ton books, and taught day school and
night singing schools to provide himself
with means for liberal education, the
main ideal purpose upon which his heart
was set. Having attained this purpose.
he removed to Minnesota and began teach
ing in the public schools of Glyndon.
where he remained four years as princi-
pal. He was afterwards elected and re-
elected county superintendent of schools
in Clay county, receiving more than two
thirds of all the votes cast while the rest
of his ticket received less than one-third

LHndlOrllism in America.

Fourth of July ora tors have often descant-
ed upon the comparative rarity Of great
landed estates in this country, and the
wide diffusion of the ownership of the soil,
as being an important source of strength to
our social and political fabric. If they are
correct, then recently issued census re-
port comes as a rather unpleasant reveals
ton.
Ten or fifteen years ago IT was true to say
that most American families owned their
own dwellings; today it is no longer so. The
drift is rapidly setting away from individ-
ual ownership and toward the landlord and
tenant system which prevails in England
and most Of the older countries.
In $780, of all the farms in the United
States three-quarters were titled by their
owners; in 1890 only two-thrds. The pro-
portion of hired farms had in 10 years risen
from 25 to nearly "a per cent. AT this rate.
in IL or Is years the tenant farmers will
outnumber those who own their home
Steads.
In cities, the comparative number of
home owners is much smaller; and 1t IS
smallest in the largest and most developed
urban communities. In New York, land
lordism is almost universal, only per cent
Of the resident families being proprietors OF
their dwellings. In Boston the percentage
of tenant families is 50; in Brooklyn, 81:
PHILADELPHIA n; Baltimore "A; Washington,
75 In Western cities the figures are very
similar Chicago showing II per cent who
rent their homes; St. Louis, SO; Minneapolis,
Co. and San Francisco 50.
For the whole country the 1890 census
shows that of nearly thirteen million fami-
lies little less than As per cent own their
homes or farms More than half are ten-
ants.
The Industrial tendency of the day is to-
ward concentration, and it looks as If the
same forces were at work in the movement
of land ownership. Especially in the cities
is the drift toward such aggregatons Of

Why Democrats Should Cast Their
Votes for s. NJ. Owen
The following is taken from the waverly
Tribune:
Editor Tribune: As a Democrat I shall
vote for Hon. S. Ma, owen for the follow
ing reasons: 81 j
1. Because S. MbDwtn has done more
than any other man in the state to educate
the people into a iclear understanding OF
the benefits of a low tariff.
2. Because S. NJ. Owen has always siren
uously opposed the extravagant expenditure
of public money. He believes that public
expenditure should be limited to the neces-
stiles of the government when economically
administered. and acts upon that belief
3. Because Mr. Owen has never wavered
in the fight against trusts and combines
not waging warfare fitfully and at uncer-
tain intervals, but Systematically, untiring.
ly and increasingly defending the rights OF
labor against the insidious encroachments
of ca2ital. O..
4. Because We want an executive who
will veto every measure for spending pub
lie money which is not dictated by the re.
quirements of the commonwealth.

Cleveland, the Democratic party has shown
very little faith in it's own principles. But

An Old MinncsOtnn on the Situation
in This State.

TO the Editor:
From the beginning Of the Alliance and
reform movement in Minnesota the writer
has been an active worker in the cause,
and it is with the deepest regret that ow-
ing to broken-down health, 1 am now ex-
lied in the mountains of Arizona and I'M
able to take an active part in the great
battle of the people against the plutocracy
in my dear home state. l can cniy hope
and pray that the people of Minnesota may
be made to see the light of truth, and that
they will rise in their might and place that

the governors chair. And it is of no less
Importance that the people be in control
of the next legislature, and In position to
reward that old war-horse, Ignatius Don
nelly by sending him to the United States
senate.
AS to legislative nominations 1 am high
ly pleased that Hon. Nels Guam, an old
friend and fellow campaigner. has been
nominated for the state senate in my old
home county of Kandiyohi. Mr.. Guam de-
serves, if any man does, tO be elected, and
his honesty and ability are undiSputed. /
know he has spent hundreds of hard-earned
dollars, and days and nights of hard labor
for the success of the reform movement in
his section, and he has done more than
any other man in kandiyohi county for the
Alliance cause. Mr.. Guam and myself
spent much time in the summer of 1892
holding meetings in the country school
houses at a very busy season of the year,
when Mr. Guam had to hire extra help
on his farm owing to his absence, or work
hard in the day and drive miles and speak
In the night. 1 say to the farmers of
Kandiyohi that it is no more than their
plain duty to give Nels Guam a rousing
majority.

SMALL AFFAIR.
The righteousness of the Alleged
'Tnrff Question" as Between the
Old PARTIES Mnle

The RidiculOusness of the Alleged
'"Tnrff Question" as Between the
Old Parties Made Plain.
OF all the political humbugs that have
ever been invented to fool the people, the
tariff question, as discussed by the Repub-
lican and Democrat tic politicians, takes the
cake beyond a shadow of doubt.
1t is recorded in the Life of Davy Crock
EFT that I'm 1924, when Col. Davy Crockett
was a candidate for congress, the tariff
was a paramount question"
And that was 10 years ago. If our wise
question in 70 years we had better send a
gang of Digger Indians to make laws for
us. If they can do no better they cannot
possibly do worse.
The collections for customs for the year
ending June 30, 1S93 We're S2O3 9955, OH, or es-
timating the populat ton al 6SOO0,OOO
LESS THAN s. PER CAPITA PER AN
NUM-.
The collections for the year ending June
3d. 1894 were still less, amounting to only
s19S373 1927, and that under the "robber
Mckinley law" too.
But the Righteousness of the whole uues-
ton appears when one looks at the esti-
mate of the Democrats as to the reduction
secured from the robber tariff by their
'Wilson' bill. The Democratic secretary
OF the treasury estima ties the customs re-
ceipts under the new Democratic bill at
$1l9,25 ,142 16, showing a difference between
the tariff collections Of the Republican Nc
kinley law and the Democratic bill of
$l9, 122,310.S1, or about Is cents apiece to
every person in the country every year.
This. then, is all there is to the g-r-r-r-eat
tariff question as between the Republican
and Democratic parties.
This Is the question upon which the poll
t1cians have been quarreling for years
while they have permitted banks, bond
holders, trusts, syndicates, usurers and mo-
nopolists generally to rob the people poor.
and pile up hundreds and thousands of
millions at the expense of the producing
classes.
Is it not about time for the voters to be-
gin to think, and not allow themselves to
be misled by billngsgate as practiced by
the old parties.
The politicians and organs of the old par
Ties having no longer an issue or an argyll
