The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-10-11

Shakespeare represents one OF
Caesars courtiers flattering the great
Roman by telling him that it was
impossible to flatter him. We are
reminded of this when we see the
Republican organ the Pioneer-Press,
take a Democratic editor by the nose
and lead him along the way it would
have him go, crying out, all the time,
-"Donnelly can't lead you! Oh no! =
And the worthy Democratic editor
with his neck craned out, and his
nose reposing lovingly in the Repub.
lican fist, kicks back savagely at
Donnelly, and cries out Ego away
you nasty naughty man--you can't
lead me -
! It is q beautiful sight.

that they are as good as can be had
anywhere, and are therefore making
arrangements to introduce them in
all the schools in the rural districts of

And why did the authorities of the
city of st. Paul. not come to the same
conclusionl
Why were they in such desperate
hurry to conclude contracts with
book publishers at higher prices, that
two different contracts were entered
into with two different houses.

ought to be happy. But how about
the members of the three parties when
they come to consider the sort of COM
pany in which they are training under
Mr.. Banning's leadership!-St. Paul

They will be proud of each other as
honest men who from their respective
standpoints are trying to protect pop

STARTLING FIGURES.

Reader We want you to read
these figures, and then show them to
your neighbor.
They show the effect of the legisla
ton of last winter in reducing the
price of school books. The first col
umn of figures shows the price de-
manded previous to the passage of the
act:the second column is the price the
publishers have demanded since the
passage of the act; the third column
is the price Mr.. Merrill furnishes
equally large and good books for, I'M

Yes; 1t is counterfeiting to make
money even of pure coin. Some men
have been coming five cent pieces of
pure nickel. costing about one cent
Tor each conn., and the detectives are
hunting for them. 1t is therefore the
stamp that makes the money, not the

reception of wheat from Carver,

At the Hennepin county Democrat
ic convention DR.. A. A. Ames offered
the following very sensible resolu-
tions which we hope to see carried
into effect by proper legislation:
Resolr ed, That we are in favor of a
modification of the homestead and ex-
emption laws, SO that they shall bear
equally on the rich and poor.
Resored, That we demand the estab-
lishment Of a state bureau of labor
statistics, the officers Of said burea to
be appointed by and from the differ
ent labor organizations of the state;
the abolition of the system OF con-
tracing the convict labor in our pris-
Ons and reformatory institutions.

terms in favor of "the reconciliation
of silver" This is rather indefinite
declaration to be sure, uhich may
mean anything or nothing IN particu-
lar. but inasmuch as it does NOT rep
resent the real convictions of the Re-
publlcans of Minnesota, it's presence
in the platform of the party is an alb
surdity of which the convention
should be ashamed.

The most shameful thing of the
century is the way in which a gigantic
combination has beaten down the price
of wheat in the United States. De-
spite the short crop and empty bins
of England and the great Russo-Turk-
ish war. SO that wheat has ruled in the
markets Of Minnesota at less than a
dollar Il bushel.

Bids for printing backs on matte

Bids for printing backs on national
bank notes were opened to-day. but
no award made. The price paid for
this work at present is SIS per 1000,
as against an average of 1857 under
the new bids. The saving thereby
effected by Secretary Sherman will be
over so per cent. of the cost and will
exceed S45, 900 per year. The saving
effected by him on internal revenue
work will exceed $4,000 year
Think of that! The people of the
United Ssates have been paying $780,
600 per year for the printing of the
banks notes issued by the national
banks. And then they pay them S20,-
100000 more of-interest on bonds to
induce them to issue their own prom
ises to pay, to swap for other mems
promises to pay; and they draw inter
est on their own promises to pay, both
from the government and the borrow
ers, while the borrowers pay interest
on their promises to pay!
And this is financial wisdoml, This
is the way to make great people rich!
