The bargain between John Sherman
and the Wall Street Syndicate seems
to have been a shameless fraud on the
people of this country. Ben Butler
at the Middlesex Club in Boston
stated the case with great clearness.
The club wished TO know what they
had been doing in Congress, and But
Ter in return wanted to know what
they had been doing in Massachusetts.
They had, he said. a stay law in favor
of savings banks. but they had none
in favor of mortgager. He might
have money in the bank to pay Off his
mortgage. but the bank wouldn t
give it to him and the mortgage
could foreclose away his property. In
relation to national affairs he talked
in this way
The people had been buying at the
rate of 81. 900 600 month of four cent
bonds at par. and the Secretary of the
Treasury went to New York and
made arrangements with a syndicate
TO give them four and a half per cent
on thirty years. Just look at the diff
tcIcHtc- just Tx Ute OHC>udu pei ICH .
for thirty years on any large amount.
Now. the leading journals of the land
have heralded this as the greatest
financial achievement of the age.
We are saddled for thirty years with
a bond for four and half per cent.
For what purpose. To secure the
placing of the loan. But the syndicate
only bound themselves TO take ten
millions. This sum the people would
have taken up at four per cent in two
months. This is productive of high
taxes for thirty years and nothing
else. The Government, said Genera
Butler. should issue its own money
and until it does there can be M
prosperity.
1t is indeed surprising that whel
the four per cent. were selling rapid,
At par, or even at a small premium
Sherman should agree to give = RIM
Of brokers four and . half per cent
for thirty years. This Is Sc. 900 Pc

\ writer in the Lake City Sentinel is evil
IDENTITY anxious that the right man shall lie
chosen for president, and in order to proceed
in the right way he offers this suggestion:
That, since Minnesota outrivals her sister
States in climate and wheat growing, she
select one OF her stalwart sons, a man OF giant
intellect and integrity, and of answering
fidelity to justice, humanity and right, and
send him to Washington to preside over our
commonwealth when Hayes harvest is over
Has she no such men Select q non politi
clan, a large reader and thinker, practical
worker and OF large executive ability and one
who resrests constitutional rights Minnesota
might honor herself at home and abroad, by
sending second Lincoln to the White House
in 1880
Though the choice is to be confined to
mon politicians there will be no difficulty
in selecting a Minnesotian OF giant intellect
and integrity" The state abounds in such
