Gold Medal Flour" but have you
ever heard "Gold Medal Flour
made in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
by the Washburn Crosby Milling
Company of Liverpool and Lon
don, England" which Is fact;
and you never heard over that sta
ton this flour Is made from Can
adian wheat, on which they pay no
tariff; you never heard over that
station that this outfit in Liver
pool is the bunch that regulates the
price of wheat and the price Of
flour the world over. This is the
outfit that makes you give the
price Of five bushels, 300 pounds,
Of the best wheat for 100 pounds
of flour. Don't blame your local
miller for that, there is no market
for his flour except the little local
trade and If he did not keep up the
price he would not have the home
market either and there might be
some cheap flour for awhile. What
Is the use of a tariff on meat as
long as the American packing COM
bine furnishes all the meat in the
world. This concern need not ship
any meat or cattle into this coun-
try for they can get all the cattle
they want in countries where cat
tie are cheap, so they need not ship
anything from outside here and
they do not except in transit on
which no tax is paid.
Mr.. Anderson says that he is
afraid of politicians, and he has a
right to be for every politician,
every man or woman elected to any
office from the president of the
United States to Alderman in your
village are elected by the aid of
these Morgan Civilized" and they
do this by that keylog that caused
the present depression; the control
of our money, the log-jam, the con-
troll of the country's finances. A
log-jam is caused by a log being
hung up by rock and the rest of
the logs in the river above would
jam on the log hung up, and when
the writer was a boy in Norway
he heard a lot of brave river driv-
ers who would get good money for
cutting off a key-log and as a rule
get good ducking and worse yet
many lives were lost, till the gov
eminent compelled the owners of
the logs to clear the rivers, by
dynamiting out the rocks on which
the logs would hang. Now if you
think the big boys are not in pol
itics you go over to Little Falls
and become a candidate for Alder
man and promise lower rates on
electricity or st. Cloud the same,
you win hear the cry Socialism"
and no one who favors a cut in
prices is ever elected, but when the
Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota
began to tell people that in Ontar-
10, Canada, the Government had
helped out the people to get cleo
trio service at decent prices the
Power Trust got scared and reduc-
ed the rates in st. Cloud to one
half; there was also a reduction at
Little Falls, and from there now
since the Legislature and Congress
made it possible to get rural cleo
tricity the Little Falls concern IS
busy running in lines throughout
the rural communities on a five
year contract at high, too high
price, just to hinder and if possible
stop the cooperative movement to
get electricity.
The founders of this United
States formed a good country, but
we went to sleep on that pillow. We
were asleep in 1S45 when the
Southern Slave holders got us into
the War with Mexico over the
annexation of Texas, which in due
time got us into the Civil War. We
were asleep when the Sugar Trust
got us into the Spanish American
war. We were asleep when Wall
Street got us into the World war
and we will, If we don't wake up
quick, be asleep when the same
powers get us into the next war;
Next war? Yes, those who want it
will have it-just note the appro-
priation made by Congress for pre-
paredness.
AS to Communism there Is no
such animal in this country. There
are no doubt a few fanatics, and
they are financed by these Civil
lied" in Wall Street. Communism
means joint ownership of property
so there can be no communism I'M
til the people get some property.
Those who are afraid of Social
