Don't Get Excited.

"Don't become exited at the threats
OF antitrust legislation which our re-
publican friends are making,' said
Henry NJ. Teller, the recently re elec-
ted Colorado senator, in an interview
a few days ago. He had just arrived
from his native state and was on his
way to " arlington. ssThey don't
mean anything by it,. It's just bluff
to fool the people. Nothing that will
injure their very good friends will
come out of it," Then the senator
laughed as if he had told a very
funny joke. OTIS all calculated to
keep the people in good mood. The
people will laugh to think how the
trusts are being worsted and the trusts
will be laughing to think how the
people are being fooled. .'-Albert
Lea Standard.

According to Knute Nelson the new
anti trust bill won't amount to any,
thing except to call the peoples at
tention to the matter. The trouble
was not to secure the attention of the
people, but the bill was rather sop
thrown to the people to divert their
attention from the dangers OF private
monopoly. The coal situation brought
the matter home to the people and
forced the senators to pass bill with
an antitrust heading.

any one think the people are going to
vote to confscate all private property?
A few do, perhaps, but how many?
Socialists do not propose compensa-
tion for property taken over to the
public. They are to have no money,
no means of paying for property
taken. They totally ignore the money
question, because under their system
there would be no money, no need OF
money. No man would have anything
to sell, all would be working for ali
and each would share in the Joint pro-
duct, taking his share in such things
as he wanted.
The debts held by foreigners against
people of this country are to be ig
nored, even though this would engage
the U. S. ia war with the balance of
the world. Every man is to be as
rich as any other man and every man
as poor as every other man. All land
titles are to be wiped out. Private
property, except wearing apparel,
household goods, &c., is to be no
more. Last week we asked a leading
socialist, a man of education, pro-
fessional man, who was visiting in
this city, what bill he would Introduce
if he were in congress in which the
socialists were in control. He
promptly replied, IA bill to contiscate
all property. Socialism is corfsca-
tion and you can't make anything else
out of It," Well does the money
power know the people will not vote
for the socialist party; hence the at
tempt to bamboozle reformers into
abandoning the peoples party organ
ization for that Of the socialists.

that the monopoly press, writer's and
orators are going to bring socialism

Time to Be Doing.

The re submissionists were finally
easily beaten in the North Dakota
Legislature by vote of two to one.
The first advantage gained by the
liquor element taught the temperance
element to be On Their guard. 1t is a.
matter of regret to us that temperance
people who belong to the dominant
party in this state always are so slow
to press their claims when the legis-
lature is in session. Some of the
most influential church organs OF the
state content themselves with line Or
two On the subject editorially. The
politician will do nothing in the way
of reform unless forced to do so by
public opinion. Where are the watch
men on the wallo D;n;t they care
when they see the liquor interests
organize the legislature 10 suit the
interests of the whiskey ring? Or
would they rather see their party so
controlled than to lose the liquor vote
at the elections? II either case they
should be ashamed Of themselves.

Farmers Protest.

Farmers in Carver county who have
been raising beets for the Minnesote
Sugar company at St. Louis Park
have lodged protest with the legis-
lature against the appropriation OF
the customary bounty which has been
given the company for sugar pro-
duced from Minnesota beets. The
farmers claim that the company has
given them unfair treatment making
deductions under the general head of
"tare" for dirt, etc., to such an un-
reasonable extent as to amount to
half the weight of shipments in some
instances. AS the main excuse for
paying the bounty is that a paying in
dustry is created among the farmers
of the state, it seems that the petitions
of the dissatisfied farmers should re-
ceive some attention from the legisla-
tors. We doubt whether there is
single farmer in the state that would
object to having the bounty cut off as
was the tail of the Dutchman's dog.
''clese off behind the ears.''

SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA
Is Plutocracy Assisting the Soeis!istie
Movement in Hope of Side e-track-
Ing Political Reform7


Ing Political Reform7
The Missouri World, staunch
populist paper, thinks that there is an
organized effort among the privileged
classes to induce all active reformers
to join the socialists. Read the fol-
lowing:
"The great battle for reform started
over quarter of a century ago has
been won, was won seven years ago.
The money y-power, by trick in 1896,
postponed the enjoyment by the peo
pie of the fruits of their victory. The
nation-the majority of ths thinking
peonle-had been converted to the
peoples party position on the money
and transportation questions. and
had also been convinced that plutoc
racy could be endorsed only by the
people who wanted reform getting to-
gether in a new party. The stupend-
Gus vote for the people s party in 1892,
and the still greater vote in 1894 gave
the encouragement that was necessary
to create a tidal wave that would
sweep the new party into power. 1t
was then that the free silver trick was
hatched. The monopoly press with
one accord doomed the silver ques-
tion. Coins Financial School was
paraded before the people in every is
sue. Such money-power leaders as
Lyman J. Gage, afterwards secretary
of the treasury, took a hand in the
spellbinding. Gage, we'll known to
be on the money-power side, wrote a
communication to a Chicago daily,
2enying that he had uttered the words
attributed to him in the fictitious dia-
ogues in Harvey's little book, Coin S
School. This was. of course, to aid
in centering the public mind on the
silver question. It was in 1895 that
he silver question was paraded by the
mOney-power and what followed was
in pursuance to a cut aud dried pro
gra nrne Mover did scheme work
more successfully. It completely y
frustrated, for the time, the movement
OF the people to get control Of the gov
ernmetit. But the silver trick has run
it's course. Something else must now
be done, for the peoples party prjn-
ciples are even more popular than
ever What can be done now to pre-
vent the revival OF the reform party ?
This is undoubtedly a question that
has been discussed ire the councils cf
plutocracy. A few months ago we
ventured the opinion that the money
power would endeavor to SHIFT the re-
form movement to radical socialism,
we'll knowing that the people who are
now ready to vote for people S

Prohibition News Bulletin.


: Issued by W. G. Calderwood, Min
neapolis.
In Lawrence, Kansas, before the
prohibitory law went into effect, over
twenty years ago, was located Wal.
ruffe's brewery, which was valuable
piece of property. Prohibition rem
dered it useless for brewing purposes
and the owner sold it and left the
state. It had employed twelve men
and they were thrown out of work to
seek employment in some other indus
try. Some people considered it a
business calamity to lose the brewery
ard throw the men out of employ
ment. The big building was then con-
verted into shoe factory and with
practically the anne capital, it now
employees 100 instead of IL men. The
produ ;tion of the brewery had de-
stroyed, to large extent, the de-
mand for the necessities of life. The
shoe factory sprung up to supply that
dem mand, and the town had the benefit
Of 100 men, 8 wages instead of - and
no saloon to rob legitimate industry
of it's legitimate share of the wages.
The shoe caused no heartache, no
poverty, no want, no vagrancy: the
shoes created no demand for a jail, or

T. E. Stephens, of Kansas, calls st.
tention to the following facts:-That

liquor throughout the United States
