ST. PAUL. MINNESOTA THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1914

wheat in this State was devoted next
wear to corn and oats, the results would
be deplorable. Most of our local mar
kets would be flooded by dozen or
two loads of such products. Ours is
new country, sparscly settled; and
par e.rcellonce an agricultural country.
There are four men producing food for
one man that buys it. Hence we can
raise, on large scale. only
those articles for which there
is a foreign demand. and
which are valuable enough to bear
transhipment. We cannot raise cot
ton. our summers are too short. We
cannot compete with Texas and Nan
sas in cattle, our winters are too long.
| ut we are the great wheat region OF
the world. Give us cheap transporta
ton and practicable water outlets and
we will make Minnesota rich. But te
tell us, as the Farmers Union does
that we must look for our prosperity te
the oats. and corn and meat and poul
try we can sell to the few merchants
machine-men and money lenders of ou'
villages is simply absurd.
What then is the true course! To
raise all the oats, corn, cattle and gar
den stuff we need for our own families
with a moderate surplus to sell. As lon'
as that surplus is small it may command
remunerative prices. The moment
becomes large we glnt our little hom
market and as general rule, the artl
cles will not bear the cost Of transhlp
ment, and hence the price falls below
the cost of production.
Is not this so, farmerse Will not som
shoemaker or tailor or sewlng-machln
agent. start another Farmers Unaor
and tell us we areall fools, and that W
should diversity our industry b
raising cranberries and guinea hens!
If we can ever get cheap transports
ton we may develope in Minnesota
great dairy interest. Our fine grasse
healthy cattle and cool northern cllma'
will insure US superior butter an
, cheese. But even then we must Deepen
as the dairymen of New England d
upon the European demand for our re

L0NGSHOREMEN'S STRIKE.
The Employers Triumph, Of COursee
and the Poor strikers Must Suffer
Inr Their E0llYs

The Employers Triumph, Of Course
md the Poor strikers Must Suffer
for Their Folly.
New YORK. Dec. 2.-Nearly all the
ship owners who have been waiting for
a settlement of the 'longshoremen' S
difficulties, began work loading and un-
loading in Brooklyn, Hoboken
and Jersey City as we'll
as New York, employing
non-society men. The firms announce
their intention never again to employ
Union men. All speak well Of the class
Of laber offering, skilled 'longshoremen
being attracted from abroad. and large
numbers of men from the coal mining
regions also applying for work, which
is readily furnished them
Occasional slight skirmishes
| occur between the strikers and new
laborers, but no serious disturbances,
and teamship and sailing vessel owners
are both confident their troubles are
now ever.
! A convention Of 'longshoremen last
night formally rescinded the order for
a general strike and the union men
were authorized to work for anybody
who could pay them old rates except
the Stevedore firm of Walsh Bro 9,
with whom the difficulty which led into
the strike originated.

deep and more falling.
Dispatches received at Chicago from
different points in central Illinois state
that there was the heaviest fall of snow

to fifteen inches deep. and has delayed
trains On some lines of railroad.

Editor Anti Monopolist:
SIR: AS the State Grange is to meet

suggestions on the most important
business of the session. the electlnS OF
State Master. Godrforbid that we should
fail to improve on tie present incum.
bent: and to this end | will criticise one
of the candidates. A paper Is IN cir
culation in this county, probably pre-
pared by himself, asking E. r. Perkins
to be candidate for the State Master
ship. He therefore must not complain
if his character and conduct are critl-
cised. charge him; first, with want
Of ability and punctuality. Look for
instance at his doinss as chair nan
of the committee appointed by
the County Council to investigate the
, Farmers Mutual Insurance Associa-
ton. He took six months to make a
report. and then made one that the
! Council would not accept for reasons
best known TO himself.
| care not what a man 5 politics are.
but it s necessary that man should
have principle enough to be one thing
or another. | therefore charge him IN
the second place, with being jobbine
politician. And would refer you to his
conduct at the Wayyata Convention IN
this county this fall for proof. He was
loud and long in urging his own claim:
for a nomination, after the convention.
knowing his character. had
silently passed him over
He then did all in his power. by falss
representations and by all manner OF
mean arts. TO d efeat the nominees o
that very convention.
should consider his election to sucs
an important trust. as Master of tn
State Grange. as little or no improve

incumbent: which, as | stated above
God forbid.'' Yours

REFORM IN THE GRANGE.

We publish in another column some
indices of public opinion IN the orange.
The air is full of revolution. Worthy
Master Parsons seems to be especially
obnoxious to the Patrons, and none
are SO poor as to do him reverence.
The universal cry is, ''off with his
head"
We do not wonder at this. Some
weeks since we quoted an extract from
= speech made by Parsons but 1t is
only lately that we have received from
one of his audience, a respectable he
publican, the full particulars. The
speech was made at Republican coun-
ty convention, two or three years ago.
in Winona county; the same conven-
ton at which Judge Waterman was
nominated for Judge. A motion was
made to adopt as their candidate, for
petty county Office, the nominee OF
the Democratic convention, very Wor-
thv and excellent gentleman. Parsons
sprang to his feet and made this inta-
! nous declaration:
! "If there be a deril,-sohich l do not
beliere.-uith all the qualities usually
attributed to the deril and he aDds
regularly nominated ON the Republican
ticket. / vould rots for HIM AND If
THERE EVER WAS SUCH CHARACTER AS
JESUS CHRIsT--wHICH | DO NOT BELIEVE
AND HE WAS ALIVE NOW, AND WAS NoAl'
