An Impending Revolution in the
.uH irr Northwest. u..I..r.U
IL Is about time that the northwest begins
to take leading part in the concert of
States. For sometime the northwest has
been playing second fiddle, while New Eng
land has handled the leading violin. We
have had practice enough in showing the
bow to begin to shove 1t on our own ac-
count.
The following item, which win serve as
a text is taken from an Ohio paper; rs.
''The New York Independent notices the
remarkable dividends that are being de-
clared by banks, manufacturing companies
and railroads. In referring TO the New
England manufacturing associations, the
Independent says: One of these corpora
tions, the Androscoggin mills, with capi-
tai of q million Of dollars pays forty per
cent; the Nashua. with tho same capital,
pays Mfrty7fce; the Appleton. taoentv.fpe;
the Pacific capital two millions and half,
ttcenty.fonr; the Merrimac, t,osnty-three;
and so on" ......
Who pays all these little dividends that
are now being received by banks, manu-
featuring companies and railroads. The
peOple--consllmers and among those who
are prominent in assisting to swell the
people of the northwest. Being, rs IL
were, inland, and dependent upon the east
and eastern routes for our transportation
and supplies, the northwest is cOmpara-
lively isolated from the benefits of compe-
tition. The South has the Mississippi, the
guilt, and the seabOard, and it can land
European cargoes, or ship its productions.
for other countries, at its very doors
What the northwest needs at the present
moment is party popular movement de-
voted to the Interests of the northwest. We
want State legislators who will labor for
, the advancement of the northwest and
men for the national legislature who will
hold the interests of the northwest inte-
| rior TO none other save those of the Union.
We need representation both at Washing
ton and our State capitals that will legislate
first, for the north west; and lastly, if mt all,
for the negro. We need state representa-
| tion that will extricate the people from the
grasp of local monopolists of all sorts, and
national representatives who will take us
from the tolls of New England manufac-
lures and high tariff and who will secure
MS an outlet TO the ocean sufficient To an
swer the demands of our immense produc-
tive ability.
Yates Trumbull, Doolittle Washburnc,
Wilson, and, in fine, all the prominent men
from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and the
other States of the northwest, devote their
