The people of 1892, had tremen-

worth while to turn your backs on

Another Trick.

Mr.. w. E. Cummings of Preston,
Minn., has been writing series Of
very valuable articles for the Presto
Republican, to show that our school
books are being doctored, and the
truth perverted, in the interest of
the MOney-Power, so as to train up
the western rising generation to sub
nit patiently to be reduced to serf-
dom. GAS the twig is bent the tree
is inclined:" and if the East can get
possession of the youthful mind of
the West, her domination will con-
tinue for generations. 1t is beau
tiful co-partnership. Our fat soils
and tireleSs industry are to furnish
the money: and New England's bar
rem hills and matchless cunning are
to equip us with ideas; so that we
may sing under the lash, and grin
when we are kicked.
This last assault on the West is the
most demoniac of all. We want a

OFF during the last thirty years.
We DO not want to make party
capital out of such a dreadful state
OF affairs; but it is only just to
remember that during all the years
that this tremendous plundering was
going on, the republican party had en-
tire control of the state government
in all it's branches; and the men who
did the plundering were mainly re-
publicans, and manyof them promin-
ent politicians and leaders of that
party.
We need new party-a new
BROOM to sweep out the rascals and
their methods; and we need to pene-
trate into this and all other robberies
to the very bottom. Go to work,
brethren, and let us elect a legisla-
ture that will do this work, and sore
trhdt IS left. That's the point.
1t will be asked:-ar then, all the
lumbermen thieves? No; there are
many honest men among them. For
instance, not particle of testimony,
we are happy to say, touches our old
friends, the BaSsetts, of Minneapolis.
Their hands are clean. But then
they voted the Populist ticket in
1890 and 1892, and instinct is great
thing. A man who takes the side of
the people is not apt to rob them.
Would it not be a good idea for
Hon. S. Pillsbury y,-"Honest John"
they call him,-to come to the relief
OF the poor, little children of the
state, and chip in two or three hun
dred thousand dollars, to make up
for the robberies perpetrated by bad

At first the daily papers undertook
to write it down by ridiculing it.
They sent forty correspondents who
travelled with the army and covered
it with mockery. Then we heard
nothing for weeks, but jests about
Carl Browns unwashed liver, "Weary
Iler's' attitudes, and Coxey's debts.
We we're told that Coxey's creditors
had fallen on him, and that $2O,O
mortgage was being fOreclOSed on one
of his $4,000 horses. 1t turned out
that there was no mortgage on the
horse. In short one lie was piled on
another in the usual way of the daily
press. But in spite all the forty cor
respondents the army grew from day
to day. The men were we'll behaved,

advent at town after town was an

welcome and cheer them:-the lying

rope: and now the press has "dried
up" On this day, April Sd, there is
not one line about them: and we will
probably hear no more of them until
100000 men swarm into Washington.
The daily papers would ignore the

of their orbits, if Wall eetdemand-

Warren Register: Will some Popu-
list statesman tell us what is meant
by the Populist cry, "Let the govern
ment issue the money direct to the
people without the intervention of
national banks?" And while you are
about it, tell us how to get hold of
any of this money when it is iss ued,
unless we have something to ex-
change for it.
Why should the United States gov
ernment pay lot Of bankers, out of
the peoples pockets, ten per cent per
annum, to stand between the govern
ment and the people, to handle the
peoples money? Is there any banker
that has the credit the whole people
have? Look at the recent panic.
When the inhabitants of St. Paul
and Minneapolis were drawing their
money out of the banks what did
they do with it? They were afraid
to put it into any other bank, or into
any safety vault, or to carry it about
their persons, but they took it to the
