everything, and in no event could by
any possibility gain anything There
never was such a tom-foolish bargain
made by anybody from the beginning
Of the world down to 1896 as that fusion
bargain certain Minneapolis Populists
made in the year of the Lord 1896.
Here was this new, virile, and growing
party, the second in the state, gaining
new converts every day, representing
all the issues Of the day, just ON the
point Of victory, by this one foolish,
ccwardly, infamous-for I can call it
by no other name-fusion deal threw
away every thing that had been
achieved from the old parties by years
Of hard toll to their ancient and i'll
veterate enemies!
The very proposition of this decker
stunned and paralyzed the average hon
est loyal POpulist. The audacity of the
deal dazed them for the time being And
while the confusion lasted the process
sion, the whole menagerie on the
back of John Lind-went by shouting
"Hurrah for Lind.'' Turn the rascals
QUIT" "Hurrah!"
1 remember wildly and shall, to my
dying day, our last state convention
How smoothly the machinery worked.
How dozens of the old Populists
CRASHED their teeth with suppressed
oho ~ipf n,,f
mum" For the man who dared to
open his mouth for the defense of his
honor and party was instantly de-
nounced as a traitor in the camp, and
in the pay of Clough and Mark Hanna!
and an enemy Of John Lind!
But the plan was so cunningly laid
and skilfully executed that resistance
was out of the question Assistant
republicans" we had to be in either
event, and if we laid down our arms
we would have been denounced as cow
ards and traitors. Hence we submitted
to the only course left us, to do the
best we could for the ticket, let the re-
suit be what it would
But it is now seriously proposed to
repeat the same process over again in
the coming election. And the instant
that a number Of Populists meet to-
gether at st. Paul and take steps to
preserve their party and work for the
principles OF their party, then those
fusion reformers jump upon them like
mad bulls at a red rag.
Now all | have to say is this: That
no matter whether the Peoples Party is
resurrected or preserved in this state
or not, the Populists and the public in
this state from one end of it to the
ether shall know the details Of This
whole matter from to before the
polls close next November. For years
loyal Populists have campaigned at
their own expense to build up their
party to benefit the public 1 know
enough Of Popuists who will do this
over again to defend their honor if
they have to. They are men that don't
seek office, don't want Office, and don't
need office; but they do want justice
done to themselves and their friends.
Now Mr.. Editor, 1 had not intended
to refer to this matter and, indeed,
had hoped to be spared from doing so,
but inasmuch as l am now made the,
target of these political free-booters, 1
shall give them broadsides of solid
facts in return for their mud spoutings,
and all they want before l get done.

I. for one, give notice to whom it may
concern that this shall not be done. Not
until you walk over the corpses of the
hardest political fighters the state Of
Minnesota has ever seen. Treat us 10y
al Populists fairly and honestly and if
we cannot agree with you fusionists, we
can retire with honor and respect from
politics if we have to. But if we are to
be disorganized and bulldozed into a pro-
gram that is dishonorable and detestabie
to our best sentiments and sense of
right then take the consequences Of
your madness. The blood be on your
skirts and not ours.

of which would raise the mortgage, yet
We do not remember seeing advices in
the daily papers to ruin this crop. In
a recent issue of the st. Paul Globe l
noticed an editorial of over column in
length commencing the sound financial
wisdom of Farmer Wilcox" whose let
ter they published in that ISSUE On
reading said letter l learned that by
fortunate deal (may possibly have been
four aces) he was able two years before
to lift the mortgage off his farm; said
mortgage had been like a mill stone
about his neck for number of years.
He had worried over it but since he had
gotten rid Of it he felt so happy he was
satisfied the great trouble in financial
ty, municipal, county. town and indi-
vidual; were it not for this debt there
would be plenty Of money, etc. Not one
word of information did this letter or
editorial give as to what that fortunate
DEAL was, so we could learn if other
farmers could honestly make such
deal. Now 1 will give the farmers in
formation about this crop we raised
that lifted the mortgage off our farm
1t was crop of boys. We have paid
over $500 interest in the past IA years
on a mortgage of $500. To those farmers
whose crop is girls l would say take the
advice of the daily papers and diversity

THE PECULIAR POSITION OF OUR
DOMESTIC SUGAR INDUSTRY.
(Louisiaaa Planter 10M Sept.)

The annexation of Hawaii, the acquisition
of Porto Rico and the independence of
Cuba, are such important factors in the
sugar producing world as to seriously con-
CEN the cane and beet su2ar producers of
the Unit~d S ates. The cial interests.
of the country, disregarding the Eject upon
the agricultural interests Of the ronntry, are
locking abroad, confidently expecting the
development Of an enormous tlnde with
Cuba and Porto Rico. That our developing
beet sugar industry will now be dwarfed, if not
destroyed, and our tropical cane industry be
seriously Injured by the country's increasing
close relations with Cuba and Porto Rico and
perhaps tho Philippines does not seem 10
Concern those merchants who are looking
for increased trade with the West Indies and
the East.

INTERNATIONAL ACTION AGAINST
ANARCHISTS.

A commencement of action by the Euro
pean Powers against Anarchists will take
place very shortly. l learn from a trustwor-
thy source that the Italian Government i'll
ttnd within the next few days to take the
Initiative among the Powers in endeavourimg
t" formulate a united plan of campaign for
combating these people. According to II re-
port published by the Politjsche C0yrespon-
denz, from st. Petersburg, the authorities
there are actively discussing the necessity
Tor the Powers to come to Il mutual under
standing as to common measures against
Anarclllsm. Emphasis is laid OIL the argu-
ment thar, after the recent crime ut Geneva,
1t is q matter of conscience no longer to de-
lay such action. 1t is certain that the 1'sar
would willingly agree TO a proposal for an
International conference. in regard to Anar-
chism- In Switzerland the necessity for
sucl' action is imperatively felt, and the Fo-
dqIal Council will shortly throw difficulties
IN the way OF refugees there by q change
~ the treaty concerning immigrants.
II is reported that Luigini's impHdence,
increasing as it does at every examination,
has. caused great indignation. HIS solitary
confinement has now been extended to the
goth inst, AT The assizes he will be sentenced
to "Seclusion for life" "a fearful punishment,

their death. For one boar in each week
they are, brought into the prison yard.
With regard to the attempt which ! men
Toned, on Friday against the Crown Prime
Of Italy, the accounts are very contradictory.
According to u report from Prague, Iizzi
and CarigIio doubtless intended to murder
the Crown Prince, but the Italian Military
Attach6, Colonel Naval, who had discovered
the plot, frustrated it. The Grown Prince
is, said to have been Informed Of the con-
sIIracy by the italian Ambassador in Vienna,
Count Nigra. His Royal Highness turned
pale, and at his request kilograms we're at
once sent to his wife and to the King and
Queen. His first words were: ''Ehl
Linfnme!" O
a semi-oficial account, OH the other hand,
denies That 1izzi and Cariglio had reached
Austria. The arrest of the former took place
in Geneva, aud Cariglio fed. Thu" Austrian
authorities having been warned, took very
neutrality-suspicious. for theNrrest ofSarigIio.
'1he report of the intended attempt which

guess Santa is getting pretty old now, fol
his hair is white as snow and they say that's

window.
The turkey has already gone to dreaming
what his fate will be and he'll soon see, much
to his discontinue.
Young people are buying presents fol
their best friends while maids are wishing
they had sweethearts too, but it IL all in vain
Whose fault 1t IS T don't know.
The Sunday School is preparing for theii
Christmas entertainment and as usual twill
be great success, and we'll all 60 home

Christmas comes but once a year; let ali
enjoy it while it's here. So again wishing
