The Two Whel1s.

Some times it seems as if the hosts Of
hell and destruction had encompassed the
feopies party. in fact our whole nation
round about and were seeking to destroy it.
Inc question now is shall the American
people be a race of bondsmen and serfs to-
British money lords, and plutocratic pa
tIiots of the Cleveland and Mark Hanna
stripe? Or are the two Whelps of the British
lion, l. e. the Republican and Democratic
parties seeking for their victims? Hav-
ing grown strong and powerful they have
Joined their hands in their search for human
prey. While the foundations of our govern
ment or nation seemed to be on the eternal
principles of truth and justice, government
has become perverted. And we as a people
nave gone after false gods or ideals in our
governmental affairs. we have made gold
our god, and spoils Our highest ideal or
idol. Doodle has been iignified and humani-
ty has been degraded and cast down.
Liberty. the noblest and sweetest word
ever uttered by human lips, has become a
mockery and a by-word. 1t looks some
times as if we were in heslast days of the
republic and that through the vicious in
nuence OF plutOcracy, corporations. trusts,
syndicates, ETC., that our government was
a failure and an instrument of outrag sc and
oppression. God forbid that such should be
the case,
] see good deal in the papers nowadays
about government ownership Of railroads
telegraphs, etc. That might be all right
when the people run or control the govern
ment But when political parties. private
individuals, corporations or trusts. control
the government 1t would be public calam-
ty. Let us first restore Our government
to the people by direct legislation, as en-
braced in the principles of the initiative and
referendum, imperative mandate and pro-
pOrtional representation if 1t is possible so
to do. Let us first strive to create in the
people higher ideals of government what
/ 1t is for its functions and what 1t is not
for.

We are pleased to announce that since the

as state lecturer of the F. A. & l. L of Min
neSota that he has set about the work of
his office in earnest and vigorous STYLE
He has started out with Camp No. T. on
tour of preliminary work preparatory to
following up the same about two weeks
later to organize the alliances and initiate
the members which the local county organ
izer has gathered together. These local Or
ganlZers are commissioned on me first
trip of the state lecturer, and given full
authority to go ahead and arrange all de-
tails for the meeting for the date given by
the state lecturer his return trip. 1t is
the program of the lecturer to try and Sc
cure 10 or IL camps each numbered sep
arately, and have them assigned to con-
gressiOnal district, or tier of counties where
the district is too large for special work in
that district, until the whole district is COM

of the national and state alliances as pos

pay the expenses of the organizers and
keep them in the field until complete can

The preliminary steps have been taken by
Mr.. Olson G. II. Hopkins, J. b. Dukes and
other members of the state alliance officers
to organize and establish the Northwestern
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
Elevator Association to be composed of
Independent, farmers, and cooperative ele-
vators throughout the Northwest They
propose to establish headquarters in Minne-
apolis, Duluth or Chicago, where samples
of grain in the elevators and granaries of
the farmers of the Northwest will be on ex-
hibition, and sell only to the highest bid
der for cash. as is done in Kansas and
other states South and East, where the
trade relations and business agencies of
the alliance have been in successful opera
ton, and where it has been said by the alli-
ance men of those sections that sit pays
TO belong to the alliance as $1.0O will go
as far within the alliance in the purchase of
the goods the farmers use $3.50 will go
outside Of the organization.
They hope to secure or cents per
bushel more for their members wheat or
grain by this means, save them being cut
on grades, secure them wholesale rates for
their agricultural implements, wagons and
household wants through their business
agent, and establish robustness agencies
in every alliance in the state, who will DUR
chase their goods direct through their
agency headquarters. See what a sum could
be saved to the farmers OF the Northwest in
the matter OF binding Irvine alone if this sys-
tenn was in operation this season.

unless he too can organize to in part coun
teract such conditions
We have a very practical Illustration Of
the need of organ cation in the treatment
we have received from the Irvine trust The
Irvine plant at the state prison was eStab-
lShed to break the Irvine trust that had
been levying tribute upon the farmer until
forbearance ceased to be a virtue. The
farmers were then organized. They al
lowed themselves to disintegrate. and we
find this year that the Irvine that made
at own plant. by prisoners at the state
prison. that We are taxed 20 feed end clOthe.
was sod to dealers at 81 cents per Id; and
the dealers, in conjunction with the Irvine
trust, raised the price up to II, A. and in
some cases Is cents per pound, thereby levy
ing a tribute upon the farmers Of Mnne-
sofa to the amount Of or cents per
pound.
To illustrate: The st. James Farmers
Elevator Co. president P. H. Grogan) in
formed Eric Olson, our state lecturer, that
they had $50 members, its private side tracks
and elevator paid for, and $500 in bank.
The prison management refusing 10 take
their corporate note. they paid cash six and
q half cents per pound and sold 1t to their
members at eight cents per pound, which
compelled all the other dealers at st. James
to sell for the same price, and, whereas on
the Southern Minnesota railroad. Is miles
south of ST. James, where the Ward Ma
chine Co. developed the Irvine conspiracy
to its greatest extent, they sold little
Irvine at cents per pound to those that
purchased machinery of them, but the bulk
of the twine was sold at 121s to IS cents
in Martin county. What did you pay and
figure out what it has cost you extra for
not being organized the same DIS are the
other fellows? Now, as exorbitant as this
unjust steal may seem, it is only a drop in
the bucket compared to the great amount
that will be taken from you upon the grain
that this Irvine has bound this year. Did
you ever think of the thousands Of men that
are making fortunes off of your products
that you could save for yourselves by organ
ization? Now we propose to establish our
own board of trade in Minneapolis, through
our Farmers Alliance, and induce Min
nesota farmers sending samples Of their
grain for inspection by purchasers and to
be placed on exhibition, and farmers to ship
their own wheat and grain of all kinds.
