The vitality of allie is sometimes
phenomenal. The famous 1891
''hold your wheat" circular, got
ten up by some board Of trade
spectators abetted by an ALI
ance newspaper man at St. Paul,
was at the time falsely charged
to the work of Ignatius Donnelly,
then president of the state ALI
ance. We remember perfectly
well that the charge was denied
at the time by Mr.. Donnelly, who
said that while he believed wheat
prices would advance, owing to
the reputed shortage in Europe,
he would give no advice in. the
matter, but let each farmer use
his own Judgment as to whether
he should sell or hold. Ever
since that time the ancient lie
has bobbed up. We havenoticed
it's appearance several times this
season. Give Mr.. Donnelly a
rest on this. He had nothing to
do with the ''hold your wheat,
circular, except to deny all con-
nection with it.-Litchfeld indie

The Litchfeld papers are sore
about being left on the census.
Because Litchfeld began devel-
oping a little in advance of Will
mar was no reason why Willmar
should always be behind. It is
now pretty well apparent that
Litchfeld has nearly reached
zenith in her growth, while Will
mar has just begun to develop.
Willmar has a cross road, a great
deal more tributary territory
to it than Litchfeld has, and a
class of business men that are
hustling and making bids for
trade. Why should it not forge
ahead of Litchfeld? Bro. Jou-
bert should remem Der poor old
st. Paul. Because that city
once upon a time was larger and
had improvements in advance
of Minneapolis, it was no reason
why it would remain so always.

Brides Not Taken.

There is a serious question be-
ing bruited about the State Capt.
tol which involves the financial
ability of Bob Dunn, the state
auditor. This question comes
about through a small incident
that happenedto Mr.. Dunn a few
days since, and some of Mr..
Dunn's best friends are inclined
to doubt the truth of the. story.
The Benny Press, = however, is
prepared to vouch for. the entire
truth of the main story leaving

Carol D. Wright, national la
Dor statistician, reports that the
average wages in the United
States, per capita are $347, and
that the average product of each
laborer is worth 81. 1888; that the
employer gets of that prodnct 1922
per cent. leaving labor only 1873
per cent. In comparing these fig
ures with statistics of other
countries he finds that in no other
nation does the employee get so
small a percent of what he pro-
duces. In Italy the employee gets
40per cent of his earnings and
the per cent ranges on down from
that to 26 per cent in the United
Kingdom. And yet they call
this grand, glorious country, a
government of, for and by the
people. and the political parties
that have made us worse off than

Last fall when the results Of.
the election were known, the
Repub licans yell dinevery direc-
ton, that the Populists were now
dead and buried forever. Oh, how
the bosses rejoiced, for now they
could keep the poor voting cattle
in bondage and slavery! !.
Well, my dear friends, don't
you think the Pops are zdying?.
It looks like itnow, doesn't it?
Despite your prophecy a bright
newspaper has sprung up in your
midst; full Of life and truth, and
the worst Of it is you all feel that,
you cant destroy it: Do. you.
think anything about the forces
behind this movement? Itseems.
you don't, and notk1lo wing what
influence it has on ideas, you are
not qualified to Judge: This
movement, undergone name and
another, has been gathering
force for the last 80 years. At
first there were only a few and
the had no literature. If it could
have been killed, it would have
been strangled in it's infancy.
But you cannot kill ideas except
by substituting better ideas:
The revolution is spreading as
rapidly as the panic, and as world
wide. Everywhere new papers
are springing up, new books,
new pamphlets-it appeals to
reason, while the present appeals
to prejudice, and prejudice is new
er progressive. We want a bet
ter system for all, and we are
fgoing to have it.. There is no
power under heaven that can
prevail against it. Is't coming,
and every hour brings it nearer.
Every failure, every discharge
of willing workers adds speed to
it's coming.
There is a great commotion
among the masses who have
robbed, and it means something,

The Litchfeld independent
says: "a stranger or one living
outside of this town, on taking up
this issue of the Independent,
land it is a fair sample Of all the
papers) would find by noticing
the advertisements, that Litch-
field has several lawyers and doc
tors, an ice dealer, a wooden mill,
three machinery firms, one hard.
ware store, three general mer-
chandise stores, one clothing
store, a tinsmith, one feed store,
one millinery store, one lumber
yard, one foundry, one confec-
tionery store, one bank and one
drug store. This is all, and the
impression is apt to be that the
town is rather a small village.
Keep your business before the
public, if nothing more than'by a
card in the local papers costing
so cents a month";
Well, we are of the opinion too;
Bro. Peterson, that your business
men haven't patronized the pa
pers as literally as they ought tc
during the last five years, OF
Litchfeld would have shown
greater growth than it does
There never was a town yet that
amounted to anything unless il
was made so by some one OF
more live newspapers. And the
town that wants to push to the
front can do 50 by literally sup
porting their live and aggressive
papers. Willmar is pretty good
in this respect, and that is why
she is getting there, ahead O!

Yes,' interrupted Mr. Dunn,
in a confid ential whisper, {. 7 have
heard something about that
permit. Now, honestly, Smith,
is there not over 80, 900, 900 ,on
that tract?'' s. s.s# IN
That's just what I am coming
to- whispered Smith. There
is more than 100000 on that
tract, and I just wanted you to
know that there is enough more
so that I can afford to pay you
about 81 900 to assist you nyour
campaign for governor if you will
extend the permit and ask no
further questions
eyes, replied Mr., Dunn, re-
tlectively. "Well. you know,
Smith, the way the thing stands,
I will have to let my chief clerk
into the deal. He knows all about
the land, and III just call him in. y
The chief clerk was called in
and the same proposition was re-
peated in his presence. Then
Mr.. Dunn remarked:
1.-The proposition has some
advantages, Mr.. Smith, and we
will think it over. Now, I have a
counter proposition to make to
you for you to consider while we
are making up our minds as to
the value of your offer. My pro-
position is this: You pay into the
treasury of the state of Mime
sofa before shutdown to-day the
sum of $4,000 cash, and give
within ten days a bond for $50, 900
more, to be approved by the at
torney general, so that the state
may be secure of it's pay, what
ever the amount of pine cut may
be, whether1O, 0OO, 900 or 100000
600. Failing in this, I will to-
morrow cancel your permit. Now,
what do you think of my propo-
sition?"
The conclusion of the transac-
ton has not been reported. But
it is safe to assume that Smith
has not yet secured SAC, 900 worth
of the states timber on payment
of a 81 900 item into a corrup-
ton fund.-Penny Press.
We take great pleasure in pub
fishing the above for several rea-
sons.
1st. That there are men yet
on God s earth that will refuse a
bribe, and Auditor Dunn is one
of them, and everybody ought
to know this fact.
End. That here we have the
incontestable proof Of the gener.
al corruption in the Office under
his predecessors.
All the populists have charged
about official corruption and
more to, is proving true.
We hope that Mr.. Dunn will
have the active support of al
good citizens irrespective Of par
ty views in his herculian task Of
bringing these lumber thieves tt
the bar of justice.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 10TH, 1895.
Eoltlu t.nd the 7th District.

We publish elsewhere the opin.
ion of Congressman Eddy on the
silver question and politics in
general as pumped out of him by
the Minneapolis Tribune report
er. He is an international agree
ment silverite, alias gold mono
metalist. He says: If prices
remain good the chances are that
the silver question will never
again gain the public attention
that it held a month or two ago.
OF course if wheat goes down or
the crops gets short, there will be
discontents and that will bring
it up once more" We wonder
how the farmers of the seventh
district like this good. wheat
price-remaining talk from their
congressman? Wheat price is
about IS cents per bushel
throughout the district. Es-
pecially the Scandinavian farm
ers may now feel that they are
paid in coin, repudiating a man
of their own nationality, who al
though not SO glib a speaker as
Mr.. Eddy was nevertheless head
and shoulder above dozen of
Eddies all put together in one
in general ability and manliness
of character. Mr.. Boon stood
up for the farming industry, the
only industry of Importance in
his district. Yet on election day
the farmers forgot their friend,
and voted for the man who had
been trained as land agent Of a
Railroad Co., and general agent
of old party political bosses.
Now he tells his fool wheat rails
ers to their face, while the price
of wheat is As cents per bushel.
mind you, that if prices remain
good they will not think of free
silver! If wheat prices should
90 still further down, or there
should be short crop, the ques
ton might come up again
That is right Mr.. Eddy. Horse
it to your dupes. The old party
farmers of the seventh district
voted for you and As cent wheat
They got it, and you are the mar
to tell them to their faces what
fools they are. We have as little
respect or sympathy for any
man who will vote himself anl
family into the poor-house at the
crack of a party whip as yo,
have.
The old party farmers of the
district deserve to be told, az
you have gracefully done, that
they will not think about free
silver as long as their BELLE:
are full.
And we have no doubt if whea'
prices should go down to % cents
per bushel, and the free silver
craze should start up again, tina
you could redeem the distric'
from populism and the silver
crank once more.

CHEERING RETENEE PR OS
PECTS.

The New York Herald says: The
rate at which the receipts from Gus
toms duties reported by the treasury
are increasing indicates that the sur
plus revenue under the new tariff will
exceed the estimates Of Chairman Viii
son. The customs duties collected
the last two days in January averaged
almost S750,000 day. At this pace
the tariff revenue for the calendar year
1895 would mount up to an unprece-
dented sum. There is good reason t.
believe that the NV tariff bill will
yield large surplus The increase of
receipts from Gus oms duties the first
of January was attributed to the fact
that the new wooden tariff then took
effect and the increase was considered
temporary. But after the great rush
of imported woolens was over the in
crease continued, and the receipts on
January 81 were $50 1928. There
could be no better proof Of returning
confidence ard prosperity in business
than this increase of imports, which
promises to be sustained when the
spring opens and the prospects of next
summers crops inspires fresh hope
and enterprise. 1t is now perfectly
clear that the Senate should at once
pass the House bills repeating the
coal, iron and sugar dlfferential duties
as utterly needless for revenue"
