Editor Anti-Nonopoiist.
Permit me, sir to say Il word on a
subject that isuppermost in my mind.
| see that you are a member of the
Committee on Education.
1.-THE MERRILL TEXT BOOK LAW"
Don't allow this law To be repealed,
or in any measure changed, SO as to
virtually nullify it's chief objects.
Viz, cheapness and uniformity. |
wish in brief to take notice of IL few
points in Supt. Burt's report.
|. On page %, hi admits that Mr..
Merrill could not sell the books as
cheap through the ordinary elements
of trade, but he thinks the state.
county, and district are going to be
defrauded. How, he does not say, but
somewhere and somehow the district
clerk is going to order SlO worth of
books and then "clear out. Ii SO.
then provided that the district treas
urer handle the books for he is already
under bonds. and it makes no differ
ence. rs far us the responsibility goes
whether he draw so in cash or $50 in
school books from the county. The
only change necessary here is to allow
the auditor to "borr0r money
from any funds belonging to the dis
trict SO rs to advance it to the state
treasurer.

he saws that the people will not sub
NIT TO law that will deprive them
of the privilege of paving half the
price of the new book in old books.

of writing their own resolutions. and
on the next page resolutions are

I arose and said. that ii they persisted
in passing such report should cal

ed and reported the resolutions or
page "a. Superintendent Burt says
ssa few county superintendent did moi
vote.'' Allow me sir to say that very
few of them DID vote, for nearly al
that talked with said that they dare
not argue the question. for there was
to be an election this fall. (Why!!

down by an overwhelming majority
why was that report printed, and six
copies sent to each county auditor
with request that he preeent a copy
to each commissioner, if the question
of text book came before them! This
looks to me like being at least in SYM
pathy with interested parties.
Near the bottom Of page 63, Mr..
Burt says: s'The contractor freely in
terviewed comfy superintendent,
while the agents were very quiet. and
refrained from Lobbying. Brother
B. dare not swear to that statement.
Still he is positive.

lutions'' he says: I'm another, with
more than one hundred districts, only
! twenty have been induced to order.
and the commissioners write me, that
they do not feel willing that any fur.
| Their orders should be filled at pres.
ent.'.
That is Faribault county. Now
from the tone above, it would be in.
ferred, that an effort was made to in
duce the clerks to order books, and
| that the commissioners and people
were opposed to the law. Now, the
truth is, that the people are almost
universally in favor Of the law, and
knoW that nearly all the clerks would
have ordered books, had we not con
cluded it to be better to get the matter
settled first, as our schools were quite
we'll supplied. Notwithstanding this
(my) advice the books are now in par
tial use III about 80 districts. and are
giving fine satisfaction.
But how about the county commits
sioners! They were all in favor of the
law, but were afraid, that il all the
clerks ordered, the county would be-
come responsible for, perhaps 3 or 1
thousand dollars. which it had not at
its command.

Editor Amti-Monopolist:
While staying in this place for a
time, not knowing how long, as l am
waiting for snow-(by the way there
are not two inches of snow in this
upper part of the State-) and nothing
much to dol will try and make good
use Of my time by getting up club
for THE ANTI-MONOPOLIsT.
You find here u very Industrious
and enterprising class Of people, and
they would be a prosperous people
were they in a country of just and
equal laws. In regard to the great
issue of the day.the financial question,
many do not understand it; but all
acknowledge greenbacks to be the
best money we ever had; and they do
not understand why they should be
destroyed. Yet most are willing to
trust their party; or rather the bond
holders and Wall street sharpers
ignorant of the fact that bank notes
cost the people about six cents per
dollar more than greenbacks.
&c n
Minnesota not to help in this great
struggle between capital and labor!
But it is not so strange when we see
our leading journals trying to keep
the people in the dark, as to facts and
the truth; inasmuch as they would not
publish the Greenback vote of this
State. Such injustice to the people
makes me feel more interested IN the
circulation of your valuable paper.
And again. your paper gives the full
est and most reliable and impartial
news of the proceedings OF the Legls-
lature. Every voter should feel in
terested enough in the welfare OF
this State to watch closely the pro-
ceedings of our land should
know how each one votes, or not vote
themselves. But L am writing TOO
much and will make few sugges-
tons as to the duty of the Legislature

In every proper sense it is true that
the poor man s dollar ought to be as
good as the bondholder's and worth a
full hundred cents. Any dollar that
will legally pay dollar of debt or
taxes is good dollar for that purpose.
\ dollar that is II legal-tender dollar
for all the purposes of money is a
good dollar, and just as good as dol
lar can be made. The greenback
dollar is worth hundred cents in the
payment of any debt except the debts
to the Government and the bond
holder. 1t will pay just as much
taxes as the gold dollar and more than
Il silver dollar. When it is made a
legal-tender for customs dues and for
the payment of Government debts, it
