We know that some very dishonestmen have been managing Mr. Wash-burn’s canvass, and we know that theyhave immense pecuniary interests atstake in his electiou—interests so greatthat they could well afford to spendtens of thousands of dollars to have aCongressman in Washington whomthey could rely upon to protect themfrom exposure and from the apprehend-ed necessity of being called upon toanswer for the frauds they have com-mitted, and by which they have pro-fitted.—Pioneer Press.

A Greenback delegate conventionmet at Lamberta, Redwood county,October 12tli.

Henry Poehler in hisletter to Mr. Cook, has fullyendorsedthe National Greenback party, there-fore Resolved that we endorse Hon.Henry Poehler, and recommend himto the support of the Greenback partyof Redwood couuty.”

Scarcity of money makes labor theslave of capital.

An abundance of money makes cap-ital the servant of labor.

Scarcity of money concentrateswealth in the hands of a few—leavingthe masses destitute.

An abundance of money distributeswealth equitably among all classes ofpeople.

Scarcity of money strengthens thearistocracy at the expense of the com-mon people.* Scarcity of money eventuates in thedestruction of free institutions, bydegraitingthe people below the stand-ard of self-government.

Its path is toward feudalism for thefew and barbarism for the many. Itis incompatible with progressive civi-zation and human freedom.

The Republican convention of Car-ver county resolved in favor of specieresumption and that the inevitableloss by irredeemable and unlimitedpaper currency would fall on thelaboring classes.— Ex.

The Republicans of Carver countyare challenged to show wherein specieresumption can possibly be of onecent’s advantage to them or anybodyelse, except bankers and bondholders.They are further challenged to showthat our greenback currency is eitherirredeemable or unlimited paper. Andthey are still further challenged toshow that anybody has ever sufferedany loss by it, or that any inevitableloss through it can ever fall on thelaboring classes.

Matters in Maine.Liberty, Oct. 5.

Editor Anti-Monopolist:Chase oilers his paper, the Chroni-

cle, from now until aster a Greenbackpresideht is elected for two dollars.

Our town contains 260 voters. Be-fore our state election we counted 76Greenbackers. We afterwards raisedthe number to 85. When the voteswere courted I was surprised to findthere were only 49 hard money votes,paupers and all. I say paupers, be-cause one was led up to the polls, andthrew a straight hard-moneyvote. Such votes make paupers, forhard money and hard times alwaysgo together, and hard times arealways characterized with sufferingand poverty. A 1 manner of dishon-orable means were resorted to stealour votes. A Greenbacker whengoing to the polls was handed a voteby the postmaster. Upon discoveringthat it was for hard money, he toldthe postmaster he did not propose tovote that way. Upon which thepostmaster told him if he did not hewould not pay him what he owedhim.

A prominent citizen of this townwent to Belfast in camp-meeting timeand while there was invited to thehouse of a wealthy citizen to taste ofhis punch, and there met withEugene Hale, candidate for congress.After the beverage had been passed,conversation turned upon politics. Allsaid that Hale was sure to win, andMr. Hale said he had no doubt aboutit, the only question being whetherhis majority would be large or small.Finally Mr. Hale asked the gentlemanfrom Liberty what his views were.He replied that he was a Greenbacker,doubled and twisted and dyed in thewool, and that if Mr. Hale came to hisplace he might hear him give fiveGreenback lectures every day. Mr.Hale remarked that he would get ex-hausted, to which he replied that hewas a breech loader, and never gotexhausted.

Well, the election is over in Maine,but if it were to come off in Novem-ber we would not have to get the leg-islature to elect our governor. Peo-ple thought after election politicswould die down, but several in ourtown that were then in favor of hardmoney are now Greenbackers. Re-publicans here are sick and dis-gusted.

The people are studying finance andintend to keep «n studying withoutthe aid of foreign teachers who onlyteach them to steal, and who by legis-lation pay $125.000,000 for the silverwe are now using. We want moregreenbacks, less bank notes, and thebonds to be be paid off according tothe original contract; and we arebound to see it done.

POINT“Igive the farmer the lowest grade

his sack contains, and submit that itis just what lie is ent ; tled to.”—Leon-ard Kennel!, inspector for Minneapo-lis Washburn mills, in a card in thePioneer Press. Oct. 13.

HOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED.The Inter Ocean says: “The strang-

est thing about it is, that certain Republicans belonging to the party, thatwas father of the Greenback, and thedefender of its name and reputution,should in the course of fifteen years,when every promise has been redeem-ed, and it stands before the worldhonored, turn about to slmder thisoffspring as “rag money.” while itsold enemy con.es to the front in ful-some praises.” Exactly so, come tolowa and you will find that our Re-publican editors and politicions arethe vilest copperheads, while manywho received that epithet in time ofthe war “now come to the front”bringing forth fruit meet for repent-ance. Strange turning of the tables.So itis, many a drunkard becomes re-formed. while an upright man takeshis place in the gutter.— Salional.

HE WILL BE ELECTED.Donnelly is having rousing meet-

ings wherever he goes, an 1 enthusiasm is s'reading. Let the Democra-cy stand firm and he will be elected,there is no doubt about it.—St. CloudTimes.

There is no question about it—ev-ery man who is not a bondholder or amoneylender who votes against theNational Greenback party this fall,goes directly against his own interest.He really consents to allowing him-self to be robbed and virtually assistsin the robbery.

The Wilmar Gazette says: “Moneyis a scarce article in that county atpresent, but be bears no one advocat-ing the Greenback measure as a meansof relief.”

It is evident the phonograph hasnot yet reached that benighted re-gion.

farmers of Minnesota to support.Now why?

First, the candidates stand uponthe grand principles and platform ofthe same money and the same privi-leges for all classes.

Second, the men are men of theclass that is burdened. They knowthe wants of the class and the need ofa remedy.

Hon. I. Donnelly was greeted by alarge and intelligent audience at thisplace on Friday evening, and his ad-mirable and convinciugly logicalspeech of two hours and a half waslistened to with marked attention andwithout any signs of weariness on thepart of his auditors. The speechabounded in telling points, and welltold anecdotes, eliciting frequent ap-plause. His masterly arraignment ofthe wheat ring was just what thefarmers desired to hear, and it will gofar toward giving Mr. Donnelly votesthat might otherwise be counted forthe candidate of the ring. It wasmade very clear to a good many thatMr. Washburn is not the man to rep-resent the farmers’ interests. Mr.Donnelly’s greenback arguments, de-livered in his clear and forcible style,are well calculated to set men think-ing seriously on the financial ques-tion and we should not be surpristdto hear soon of a number of green-back converts in this section. Mr.Donnelly was followed in a short ad-dress by Major Newson who, as a lifelong Republican, urged the support ofMr. Donnelly as the real friend of theproducing classes an.! the enemy ofplundering monopolies. —Lac QuiParle Co. Press.

HOW THEY CHEAT THE FARMERSThe Minneapolis Millers’ associa-

tion. through Bill King’s and DaveBlakely's newspapers and Bill Wash-burn's speeches, claim that they payfor wheat almost as much as is paidin Milwaukee and Chicago for thesame grades. This claim is absurdupon its face, although the figuresgiven apparently warrant their pre-tense. For instance, the prices ofwheat on Wednesday were: In Mil-waukee—No 2. 78 cents; No. 3. 64 1-2cents; No. 4,561-2 cents. In Min-neapoLs—No. 2, 72 cents; No. 3, 63cents; No. 4, 48 cents. The differencebetween the two markets shown bythese figures is not very great, and ontheir face the figures sustain theclaim of the Washburnians that afair price is paid for wheat. But thecolored gentleman in the fence comesin just here: When a farmer offers aload of No. 2 wheat it is graded bythe Minneapolis ring as No. 3, andinstead of getting 75 cents, the marketprice of No. 2 wheat, he receives but63 cents, the price ofNo. 3. The samewheat, if taken to Milwaukee, willgrade No. 2 and bring 78 cents abushel. It will be seen that theMinneapolis purchaser has a cleanmargin of fifteen cents a bushel abovethe Milwaukee market. Not infre-quent. however, No. 2 wheat is stillfurther reduced in grade by the wheatShylocks, and a difference of thirty-eight cents a bushel cioited. Theproofs of such reductions in grade areoverwhelming, and convict theWashburn tribe of wheat sharks ofthe most barefaced swindling of thef wraers.

Here is another case that smellsstrongly of robbery. At Melrose, inSi earns county, abont eighty milesfro n Minneapolis, No. 4 w heat bringsbut 28 cents a b ishel. T.iis is twentyceuis below the market qnotation atthe latter place. The cost of trans-portation surely does not amount totwenty a bushel, or sixty dollarsa car. Then, all the No. 4 wheatpurchased at Melrose is pronouncedby good judges to lie a fair quality ofNo. 3 wheat, and if properly gradedwould sell, at Minnea|*olis prices, for63 cents a bushel. This gives thepurchasers thirty-five cents a bnshel,out of which they will have to payperhaps five cents for transportationand handling. This is a pretty roundprofit, it must be confessed, for thesehonorable millers to pocket!

It is not the market prices of this,that or the other grade of wheat ofwhich the farmers complain, Thatis regulated by the law of supply anddemand. But they do complain, andwith very good reason, of the dishonest practices of the hired tools ofthe Washburn gang of wheat Shylocksin fahitiying grades, and thus de-liberately robping them of fromtwenty to a hundred and fifty percent, of the product of their labor.The combination, conceived in sinand brought forth in iniquity, is sap-ping the life blood of the state. Itwas organized for robbery by a gangof consienceless knaves, the chief ofwhom is now seeking to represent hisvictims in the Congress of the UnitedStates. Such brazen effrontery iswithout a parallel in Americanpolitics. Itmost and it shall be re-buked.—St. Paul Globe.

OP THE

Independent Party •

OF MINNESOTA.This party is now established

reality iu the state of Minnesota,sustained by thousands of votes,with organizations in several coun-ties and a perfected state organi-zation. It will enter the field nextyear prepared to make a stillmorevigorous canvass for success; com-mittees and*clubs willbe organizedin every county, and it will notgive up the contest until it hascarried the slate or forced th©dominant party, whichever partythat may be, to adopt its princi-ples.

The Independents need in sucha battle a

STATE ORGAN,to which they can lookfor defence,lor facts and arguments.

The Anti-Monopolist proposesto constitute such an organ.

PRINCIPLES,It willbe devoted to the estab-

lishment of the following princi-ples:

I. That no peace can come to adistracted and embittered countrythrough either of the old partyorganizations;—they represent thepassions and resentments of sec-tions and the wrath and hates of aterrible civil war.

11. 1hat the success of a newparty upon new issues would as-suage the evil passions of the coun-try; divide up the popular vote up-on a new basis; destroy the race-poiitics. of the south, and assurethe nation peace and repose.

111. 1 hat the powers of govern-ment should not be med to en-rich the few and impoverish themany, but to arrest the aggres-sions and cunning of the few. Inother words “to take care of thepoor, because the rich can takecare of themselves.”

IV. 1 o this end a policy offinance is neceessary which shallinsure employment to labor, pros-perity to the whole people, andthe crushing out of all tendenciesto aristocracy and claws pnveleges.\. 1hat it is not so necessary

to resume specie-payments for thebenefit of the capitalist, as it is toresume prosperity for the benefitof the impoverished and sufferingmultitude.

VI. That the demonetization ofsilver was intended to increase thevalue of money at the expense oflabor, and to enrich the creditorcluss; it is a reversion to barbarismand can only produce the most de-structive consequences.

VII. That all the paper curren-cy required by the people shouldbe issued directly by the generalgovernment, without cost to thepeople, beyond the cost of printingit; and that we are opposed to thewithdrawal of the greenbacks.

We ask all parties who agreewith us in the support of theseprinciples, to aid us placing theAnti-Monopolist iD every housein Minnesota. We are enteringupon events which willeither destroy liberty or establish it firmlyand forever on the face of the earth.Lei each do his part toward thecirculation of the truth.
