FREE TRADE.
The Pennington Press says

Because q Tree bridge helps st. Panl in its
ttada with Dakota county, the Pioneer
thinks i. has profound argument Tor tree
trade with all the world. Look here, now
How lnuch does this free bridge help the
trade OF Dakota county |, is all very well
20 say that the farmers may get good bar
gains in st. Paul, but suppose We could keep
s. Paul trade out altogether, wouldn't We
have bigger city and more trade down this
way, and suit the customers Just as well

he beggared That is Ill your ultra free
trade theory amounts to and every man who
reads and thinks should know it.
That is a very good comparison.
Emery thinks the farmers of Dakota
county would be lust as well suited .
if they were compelled to buy their
goods in Pennington instead of St. Paul
and pay two prices therefor. The High
Tariff is simply a West st. Paul toll
bridge between America and Europe
YOU arc at liberty to haul your wheat
over and sell it at the St. Paul price.
but you must buy your goods in Farm
ington and pay twice the St. Paul price.
You are thus losing fifty per cent. ON
every transaction. How long Will it
take at this rate to bring you to the
poor-house
But, says Emery, we would have a
bigger city at Pennington. Precise
~; but every dollar so added 10 its
wealth would have been literally rob-
bed from your customers, So compelled,
by law, to be your customers; and
thus in time all the wealth of Dakota
county would be concentrated IN Far
mington just as the greater part Of
the wealth Of the United States IS to-
day concentrated in the manufacturing
and mining regions of the East.
Why can't Pennington merchants
sell as cheap as $. Paul merchants
And if St. Paul has any advantages,
founded in nature or circumstances.
why should we seek TO overcome that
difference by bounties paid cut of onr
own pockets ! Let Pennington get
down to "hayd pan. " and struggle with
her competitors. as the wheat raisers Of
Minnesota are compelled to struggle.
unprotected. with the wheat raisers of
Russia, Hungary. and all the world.
Now let Emery apply for State
law compelling the farmers of Dakota
county to buy everything they need 1t
Pennington. at two prices If it was
possible for MIN. by any trick or cor
rupt means, to procure the passage Of
such law. Won would see one of the
liveliest riots in old Dakota ever known
since it was settled; and it would take
brigade Of soldiers 70 enforce the law
and protect Emery from the hands Of
the Infatuated multitude.
And yet every hour Of their lives,
our people are submitting. under ma
ional laws,to just such an iniquity on ar
immense scale, and Emery says the
two systems are identical. And, sad

Where are all the horrible Southern
outrages which filled the Republican
papers only month ago1 What has
become of the muir deis arsons, rapcs,
and general treason with which every
shuddering gale from the South was
burdened The Democrats have swept
the North, and yet the holocaust of
death has not begun Where is jeff.
Davis Why hasn't lie called on the
rebels to rise again. Why in the name
Of thunder don't the war which we
were promised begin!
Al, gentlemen, that scenic thunder
was only intended to last until election.
Your Black Crook is played out; the
devils have taken off their horns and
washed their faces, and the sulphurous
flames Of your mimic hell are all extin-
cuished.
Now, worthy Republicans. you
who lived for weeks on that buttered
thunder you who believed in it /, you
who thought that The volcanoes Of pcrdi

United States Senate-what say you
now Don't you feel sold! Weren't
You treated like a lot of cross babies
AMI scared with a bugaboo Of sticks
and old clothes Aren't you ashamed
of yourselves.
Now listen to how leading negro, the
great restaurateur, Geo T. Downing
an able man and Republican, talks
since the election opened his eyes. He
is writing to the Richmond Rc0iew, q
negro paper
etThe Democratic party had to some eX
tent the aid OF the colored vote; it will de

win more 1t will not he polite to repel;

That it precisely. Let the negro
1 vote divide up and both sides will
court them and defenc them, and
that produces peace and prosperity
and patriotism. But hold them
together in one solid uaass, as the Re
publieans have done by appeals to their
ignorance and their prcdiudices, and
politics becom matter Of race-hat-
reds. and can breed only brutality and
disorder.
And Mr. Downing adds

The Northwest seems to be afflicted
with typhoidal fevers. There is some
doubt as to the cause Of that form Of
disease. 1t is believed by many to be
really manure ferer and to be pro-
duccd by the reabsortion into the hui
man system Recommendations particles,
especially through drinking water.
We would therefore advise our friends
not to use water irem wells in close
proximity to privies and in digging
wells to avoid locating them where any
drainage can carry dangerous matter
into them. Onr soil is
especially light and porous
and very often We have seen the well
and the sink in dangerous proximity to
each other.
The L. S. census shows that there is
a higher rate of death in Minnesota
from typhoid fever, than in any other
State. Let our farmers look to it.
Cistern.watcr is much healthier III
many ways than well water; and it has
been found that cholera avoids families
that use only cistern-water. Water
heavily impregnated with lime derang-
es and disorders the system and leaves
it open to disease and death.
4 word to the wise is sufficient.

IFsE RECIPROCITY TREATY

The profound statesman who edits
The Faribault RepUbticau says:
Now il is proposed 10 revive the old Re
ciprocity treaty, and thus to give 10 the Ca
madam farmer an advantage over what he
a.uw enjoys OF twenty cents a bushel on his
wheat, or twenty Ie. cent. on the value OF
his ii0tr, enabling him to sell the cheaper

profit he does now Canada, il is well
known, Is aspendid wheat producing coun-
try, ami with It's facilities Tor water trans
pOrtatiOn aud close connections by rail with
New York and New England. it will enjoy a
decided advantage over our producers IN the
Northwest IN supplying the principal con :
salalug markets OF our country
Evidently the editor thinks that in
consequence Of the repeal Of the Reclp-
rocity Treaty. our farmers at once re-
ccived an increase of twenty cents a
bushcl ON their wheat. VIII he turn
to the market reports OF that date, and
show us Just whenRnd where that i'm
portant change took place
Now if letting in Canadian wheat
will decrease the price Of our wheat
twenty cents per bushel, then our
wheat must be now twenty cents above
The Liverpool price A! \ so, iohat holds
IL up' And how comes it that the
market reports tell different story
The truth is that our wheat mar
KIT is regulated by the worlds
market: and letting in Canadian wheat
would not effect the price, one way or
the other, farthing. In Faribault the
price OF wheat Is the New York price,
less transportation and commissions
and New Works price is the Liverpool
price, less transportation and commits
sions.
But suppose that by letting in Cana
dian wheat we receive free transporta-
tion through Canadian canals to Europe
and save twer;y cents 4 bushel o.,

and thus increase its price in
Minnesota twenty cents. Is it not our

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

We shall give from time to time the
expressions. pro and con. Of the differ
ent newspapers Of Minnesota on the
question of United States Senator. The
Rochester Post, (Rep.) says:
''1he writer has been through one Of
those candidate mills-the one il which
Senator Ramsey's last grist was ground
out: and we have never yet been able
to see that it subserved any other pur-
pose than to enable few members of
the Republican party who had promised
their votes to at least two. and some OF
them to all three Of the then Republi-
can candidates, to walk up in secret
meeting from which the people were all
locked out, and drop into a hat sly
ballot selling out one or more of the
candidates to whom their word and vote
had been pledged. That caucus was
merely means OF finding out how many
Of those fellows would cast in secret
vote that they would not give openly !;
and then the frank and outspoken men
! who had no reason to want any caucus.
were compelled to vote for the man who
! had got nomination by miscount Of
one vote in his favor. in that refuge Of
scull-duggery and chicanery, the Sena-
/ torial caucus. We confess that we
| have no reverence for that kind of a
caucus. and We do not see why the peo-
pie Of Olmsted county should want
their Representatives to pretend to
represent them in any such farce

fFrom the Wright County Times, Rep

If the Republicans have clear ma
jority in the Legislature they will. of
course. elect Republican Senator. eau
Gus or no caucus; and if, on the other
hand, they are in the minority caucus
will not aid them.
In Massachusetts the Senator is inva-
riably chosen in open session, without
the intervention Of q caucus. Besides,
in some Of the Legislative districts the
Senatorial question was the principal
issue at the late election, and the mem
bers elect are under instructions from
the people to vote for this or that can
didate for the Senate. 1t may well be
doubted whether they would be justified
in allowing party caucus, subject as
it surely will se to corrupt influences,
to override the positive mandate of
their constituents.

Inc 81. raul DtSpLttN (liu.t says.
We reproduce from the ANrI-MoNoPo-
LIST an article on the Senatorship which
appeared in the Chicago Industrial
.ige, together with Mr.. Donnelly's com
ments thereon. The Age speaks forci
bly, Of the ability of Mr.. Donnelly. He
would be able. in the Senate, to do great
practical good for the State, especially
when it is considered that in two years
the Republicans will lose control of the
Senate. and if any strict Republican is
elected this winter, four years of his
term must be passed II the minority.
While Mr.. Donne!ly has for some
wears acted with the Opposition
party, he has always labored for what
he believed to be the public good.
and the independent Republicans, who
hold the balance of power in the com.
ing contest. would have no hesitation
in casting their votes for him. When
Mr.. Donnelly found the Republican
party was drifting away from the prin-
ciples upon which it was originally
based and organized. he declined to
fellow but it was the party. not Mr..
D.. who proved false to principles. 1t
would not be surprising to see Mr..
Donnelly present = strong front as the
Opposition candidate for Senator. His
election would be not only an advan-
tace to the State but retribution to
his enemies.

The St. Cloud Journdi rep. says:
The grounds have been fully stated
heretofore. and in brief are, that the
Republicans Of Minnesota have grown
tired of the VIGOROUSLY corrupt caucus
system of electing Senators. which
gives to a candidate with patronage
and money the power to overcome the
will Of the people. They desire to have
their representatives vote on this ques-
ton openly and without any other in
structions than those given them by
their constituents. 1t is a question
which has been pretty thoroughly dis
cussed. it was made direct issue in
number Of districts, and no caucus
has right to override the wishes Of
the people in this matter as expressed
through the ballot box.
