THE TARIFF QUESTION.

Ii has been claimed time and again in
Minnesota that the Republican party was
not in favor Of u protective tariff.
The Pennsylvania Republicans held =
state convention the other day and adopt

the face OF the depressed condition Of american
industry. 10 intlict upon the nation free trade

our national affairs have only deepened and
strengthened this conviction, and the time is
near at hand when one, or both of the great
political parties now in the field, shall give
way to new organization which shalr assume
the reins of government. and prove itself

favor of true reform and an honest admins

AN UNJUST AND UNWISE LAB


The Litch6eld News-Ledger very
properly denounces what is known as
the "Gilman Law" passed by the last
Legislature. 1t provides, in effect, that
il any party shall build thirty miles Of
railroad to connect Breckenridge with
Glyndon, that the st. Paul & Pacific Rail
road company shall forever forfeit all the
unbuilt road from Melrose northwest
wardly. 1t imposes a penalty on rail
road building 1t denies the main line
all the great advantages which would
result from connection with Manitoba
and the Black Hills via the Northern
Pacific. As the News Ledger says:
The completion OF these thirty miles Of road
would have added five cents to the value of ev
cry bushel Of wheat in this county; it would
have created demand from the West and
North for every available thing produced here
But for this Internal law We might in the next
ninety davs have been rejoicing over the CON-
pletien OF the break i'll the line Of the road be-
tween Breckenridge and Glyndon. This would
have opened up new market for every article
this section o. country has for export Mill
men, wheat growers, stock raisers, all would
alike have been benefited, as we'll as that Sec
ton Of country to which the articles were ex-
ported 1t would have added q perceptibe
value to every foot Of land in Meeker county
| And SEE what an accommodation the compile
ton Of this road would have been for the pso-
| pie OF Manitoba. All Of the travel, and it is
large, all Of the freight for that region would
have passed over this line. The receipts Of the
road would have been quadrupled; the benefit
to the state would have been proportonally
great, its receipts from the three per c. mt IA,
on the gross earnings OF the road would have
been greatly enhanced
We trust special effort will be mad.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

After this week we will regularly
strike off our subscription list every per-
son who is in arrears. This is the uni
form practice all the great journals OF
the country, and it is the only safe basis
on which to conduct a newspaper. We
hope, however, that those so stricken off
will send in their subscription money
aad renew. Our list is too large to carry
on the credit system.
