FIAT JUSTITIA.

Eureka and Castle Rock oughtto be ashamed
of themselves. Over one hundred voters in
the former place did not go to the polls on cleo
ton day; and in the latter it was nearly as bad.
And yet these men complain of bad manage
ment and dishonest officials Men with SO
little interest in county and state affairs deserve
to be tax-ridden and misruled, and to be over
awed and cowed under by the ballot-stuffers
and whisky-swillers that they pretend to de-
splse. Harrington, an honest most worthy Of
fetal, lost his election by this base neglect,
while the meaner elements ali united to up
hold men and things that are disgraceful to
endure. Oh, cruel and base betrayal Of free
mems duties !-F'armington Press.
Served you right. The worthy Ant
Monopolists of Eureka and Castle Rock
saw that they were being used as mere
tools, not to correct ''bad management
and dishonest officials" but to crush out
a man who had faithfully defended their
interests and principles. What right
had John Kennedy to undertake to trans
fer the grangers of Dakota county from
us to a railroad attorney? 1t was an in.
suit to their intelligence which they re-
pudiated by staying at home and thus
insuring the defeat of the Peoples Party.
And now Emery, who helped TO bring
about the unholy alliance, whimpers and
snitfles because it resulted in Il mi car
riage, The truth is the Peoples Party
was treacherously sold out to the Re-
publicans in exchange for our scalp-and
they didn't get the scalp.

TIE FRIENDS or THE FARMER

Whenever the Anti -Monopolists ap-
pealed to the erangers and farmers for
support. they have invariably been met
with the cry that the Republican party
was the true friend of the iarmer,-that
it would protect them from oppression
and injustice and that the Monop-
olists were demag"gues and deceivers.
But oitentimes in the hour OF triumph,
through The intoxication OF success, the
true feelings of the heart obtain utter
ancc and hence we find the Minneapolis
Tribune, Gvo. Pillsbnry's organ, "the
only clean-cut Republican daily in the
State pouring forth its exultation over
the victory in Wisconsin in these words:
With Republican Legislature and Re
publiean Governor Wisconsin will shuttle OF
that obuorious railroad la,O and put her name
up in the railway market of the world. The
railroad interests of Wisconsin will revive un.
del liberal legislation and with Minnesota will
soon get back to the position where the mad
crusade be- -an.
Are the farmers so blind as not to see
whal this means? Any legislation to
protect the grain growers from robbery
is obnoxious" and 4 "crusade" but when
the same railroads discriminate against
the mlllers they become "plunderins
combinations"

THE DEATH OF THE VICE PRESl-
DENT

Our readers will grieve to hear of the
death of Vice President Wilson, which
occurred at 1880 AN. Nov, 22nd, In the
city of Washington.
His death is public calamity, in more
senses than one. He was an able, tair
minded man of moderate views and
generous instincts. AS chairman of the
Senate Military Committee during the
war he performed Il herculean task,
which probably told upon his constitu-
ton. His career was remarkable he
had risen from the shoemaker's bench to
the second highest Office in the nation.
His death is especially to be regretted
at this time as he was one of the few
prominent men in this country who had
openly arrayed themselves against Gen.
eral Grants reelection to a third term.
BY voice and pen he openly fought this
dangerous innovation on our institu
tions. And now ne is dead. 1t weuld
almost seem as it some maiign p 'wer
was smoothing Grant pathway to en-
nire

THE HERD la W.
Farmers, read this +:

Mr.. Biddle, in an address before the Phila-
delphia Agricultural Society, stated that the
cost OF the fences in Pennsylvania alone
amounted to SlO0, Coz, 200, and their annual
expense he estimated at $1,000, ,uOo. A dis
tinguished writer on national wealth says:
"Stange as it may seem, the greatest invest
ment in this country, the most costly produc-
ton of human industry, is the common fences
which enclose and divide the fields. No man
duams that when compared with the outlay on
these unpretending monuments OF human art,
our cities, our towns, with all their wealth, are
far behind. In many places the fences have
cost more than the fences and farms are worth.
II is this enormous burden which keeps down
the agricultural interests of this country, caus-
ing an untold expenditure, besides the loss of
the land the fences occupyh
1t is said that on this fence question
there are two parties. tue owners OF cat
tie and the owners OF land. But in Min
nesota every owner of cattle hopes to
become sooner or later an owner of
land. Why then should not all parties
unite to save the agricultural interests OF
the country from this great burden?
We were up in Steyensco the 9TH
er day, one ot the newest and richest coun-
ties in the state. and saw there . vast ex-
tent of farms without fence. They
have herd law there; and farmers find
it easier to enclose ten acres to fence in
their own cattle than to enclose one

one article for another. A little higher
in the scale they get to using "cewries"
or sea-shells. Then comes copper and
brass and iron and gold and silver-and
highest Of all, paper money. When the
Jews Of the Middle Ages invented bills
OF exchange. a Jew in Venice drawing
upon Jew in London and he upon one
in Amsterdam,-an instrumentality OF
civilization was established second only
to the printing press. In England to-
day for every 800 Of currency of all
kinds there are but $3.50 Of gold and
silver, the balance is made up of bank
notes, drafts, checks, certificates Of de
posit, etc. In new country like Mime
sofa the proportion Of bank notes used is
much greater, for the farmer rarely
keeps bank account or uses bank
checks or drafts. He is paid for his pro-
duce in bank notes and he pays his debts
with the same. We give some figures
from that valuable journal The Indus
trial Age:
The circulation ofFrance is $500, 600, 900 sill
vea; $500. .0OO, 600 gold, and S545, ,0On, 900 pa
per; Of Germany, s480, 0,OO0, 900 silver; $780,
OoO, 900 gold; and s2lO, 900, 900 paper; of Eng
nearly $500, 600 paper. France has for
some time been coining silver at the rate of
s25, ,CO0, 900 per anuum and so also has Aus
trla and Russia in large amounts. Germany
demonetzes silver after the first of next Janu-
airy. In comparison with these figures, tn
amount of specie in the United States is yer,
small; perhaps not over $50, ,00O, 600. Yet they
.alk OF specie payments, at the same time vi
owe 81, ,5UO, 100000 abroad, the interest on
Which has become such drain that importers
are paying at the rate Of g. 10 Of one PER cent
per day for specie with which to pay duties.
The trnth is, he policy Of contraction is grad
ually draining the country Of its precious met
ais.
If these figures are correct. and we be-
lieve they are, it follows that the United
States have not the amount Of money to
which they are entitled. In some parts
ofthe south the dearth of currency is so
great that the railroad companies, and
even the merchants, have been com
PEELED to issue kind of "shin- plaster s.
which are eagerly taken in the ex-
changes Of the people as representatives
OF value.
Congress should appoint commits
sion to astertain the actual amount OF
currency Of all kinds per capita. pos
sessed by France and England and the
government should then issue green
backs sufficient to give the people OF
this country an equal amount. They
would rapidly find their way into circu-
lation, being paid out to the employees
of the government, to pensioners, con-
tractors, &c.
