Seeing hIchine Facts The following in
teresting statistics we gather from the quar-
terly returns. made, we believe. under oath
by the several manufacturers of sewing ma
chimes throughout the United States. The
figures which we present and which we have
been at some pains to collect, show at glance
the wonderful growth and great importance
of this branch of American manufactures
1t will be observed that one company alone
has produced and sold within the year over
forty-three thousand machines. 1t is some
what remarkable that during the recent stag
nation in trade. this business has been but
slightly, if at all affected. But below are the
figures i'm detail:
Sewing machines manufactured and sold az
per quarterly returns, for the year ending

Republican Meeting at River Falls.

Last Friday evening, Hon. W. j. Corp and
CHAs. A. GILL, Attorney General, addressed
a good audience al River Falls.
Col. GILL's speech was scathing review of
the position of the Democratic party for ten
years past, and an eloquent vindication of the
principles and purpose of the Republican par
ty. His remarks on the rights OF traitors,
and on the taxation of U. S. Bonds were
most heartily endorsed. River Falls will
give good account of herself on the 9Th of
November.

Mr.. EDITOR AS you and your associates
have seer fit TO howl around about what
stated to H. L. Humphrey preceding the Ju-
| dicial Convention. in 1856. and that you have
possession of those letters although every
letter except that one dated F,bruory 9Th,
1866. is marked Confidential. it is not neces-
sary for me to ask his consent to making
public whit is stated in those letters, or keep
secret any other matter connected with his
nomination or election.
About the time that the lawyer of this city
gave the oyster supper in 1866, John Dale, H.
A. Taylor and H. A. Wilson were securing
this Judicial District for the purpose of get
ting the highest bid from the several candi-
dates.
1t was stated by them that they had an Of
fer of 81 900 from man in Hudson and ST.
500 from another in the Chippewa Valley,
and stated to the gentleman in Prescott that
You can be Judge if you will sign this con-
tract jist sign this bond and you can be
Judge, YAH"
This can be proved in court of Justice
The amount stated in the bond was not Civ
en- by the speaker. but il was mentioned by
another who was then present, that it was
$4,000, or $2,5O1.
Immediately after learning of this fact I
wrote to Mr Humphrey. as l thought 1 was
in duty bound to do, rs had been cores.
londing with him te keep him posted as to
what was going on in Pierce County. 1t was
stated in that letter that $4,000 had been Of
fered in this Co. to secure the nomination and
that if he depended upon Dale and Lutte
Taylor he would find that when he came in
to Convention he would not have delegate
from this county.
also wrote Mr. Humphrey in that letter.
or about that time, that since matters lad ia
ken the turn they had in this county. that il
might be necessary to have mon employed in
every town in the county. who would make
it their business 70 look to securing the dele
gates for him that it would be necessary to
hire livery teams etc and that it might cost
from $500 TO $500. Was there anything i'm
proper in this ? Especially as I thought that
Dale d. Go. were really working for the cam
didate in Prescott, knowing that previous to
that time they had always worked together.
This is all that remember of having written
about money 10 him prior TO the Convention,
excepting after our County Convention was
held, when / wrote to him that it would be
expected that whoever received the nominal
tiou at Manomipca would nav the exDpnsps
of the team for going out there.
There is nothing in any letter that wrote
to Nr. Humphrey that / desire to have with
held from the public, but then demand that
the letters lie taken altogether and it publish
ed, that it be consecutively, according to date.
Are men who bny and sell nominations
and officers the only men to be trusted by the
People 10 preserve Feir liberties?

The foregoing facts and figures we find in the
Financial Chronicle of the 18th inst. About a
year or so ago, as our readers VIII remember,
we published series of articles descriptive of
some OF the great manufacturing interests in
this country. We then selected and des-
scrlbed the immense establishment of the
Singer Manufacturing Company. located in
this city, as the representative and leading
concern in the department of sewing ma
chimes, and we are now pleased to find that
we did not in The least exaggerate or overes-
innate the importance of the company in
question. Ii is noteworthy and somewhat
suggestive that the Singer Company, who did
not as we understand, take the trouble of WIS.,
iting, or even sending their machines to the
Paris ExpOsition-who seemingly do not care
in the least for either gold medals or red rib
bons, and whose name is rarely seen i'm print
should. nevertheless, eclipse all other sewing
machine concerns in the magnitude of their
business. There is, of course, a reason for
an 'nis' but We leave our readers to fluid that
