When party is reduced to the necessity
of maligning and disappearing ali oppo-
nent in direct defiance of well known and es-

perate. Every man in the country of ordi-
nary intelligence knows that the Democratic

Their know that even if the Democrats had
sach intentions they could not surm unit the
constitutional and statutory prohibitions of
such plan. Neither Mr.. Poehler nor any
OTHER member of Congress elected by the
Democratic party will vote to pay single
dollar of the rebel war debt, single claim
for property of disloyal persons destroyed by
the army, or recompense any Southern man
for the emancipation of single slave. To do
SO would be an act of disloyalty to the Demo-
cratic party that would Meth be condoned

they are buying on the main and branch
lines of the st. Paul & Pacific road. Prac-
teal tests will prove this enormous fraud on
the farmers. This Infamous robbery is ac-
complished by reducing wheat below its
proper grade and widening the price be-
tween grades from fifteen to twenty cents,
on the plea that they don't know what they
can do with it.
Does any one suppose that the millers of
Minneapolis do not know what they
can do with No. 3, No. 4 and
rejected wheat by this time? The first few
car loads mig It properly have been consid
cred an experiment, but since then they have
known just what it was worth for milling
purposes. A miller who is in the ring said
to gentleman: sWe are going to make
some money this year. Shippers and farm
ers do not know what the low grades of
wheat are worth, and we (the millers) can
buy it at our own figures" This was before
public attention had been called to the
swindling.
Will the farmers of Minnesota endorse at
the polls the leader of the gang who is per-
petrating these outrages upon them?

Make IT PRACTICAL

1t is evident, from recent developments,
that If Minnesota is to continue to grow and
prosper, something must be done to protect
the producer from such combinations as W..
u. Washburn and his associates have formed.
We cannot expect emigration when we pay
but thirty, forty, or fifty cents per bushel for
wheat, and reduce it to such prices by false
grading. Either Congress or the State Leg
islature can and should fix grades which will
prevent the Washburn Mills or any other
combination from stealing grade from the
farmer
While system of grade can be established
by legislation the price is matter which
must be governed purely by the laws If
trade. Minnesota has now reached too great
proportions to longer play the second fiddle
to Milwaukee and Chicago. ST. Paul has as
good right to make her own market as has
Milwaukee, and it is time she made move
in that direction. The building of
the Third street mill and ele-
vator has done much to make st. Paul a
wheat market. This work should now be
of Trade with daily meetings, to buy and
sell all kinds of produce. The present
Chamber of Commerce can be used, if
thought best, as nucleus for such organi-
zation. There can thus be established Min
nesota grades of wheat which the st. Paul
Chamber of Commerce can put upon the
markets of the world. The cnly
reason why we must grade to cor
respond with Milwaukee and Chicago
is because we have no market of our own as
basis, but rely on those markets to dictate
to US. We can make our own grades, and
the markets of the world will fix the price
which those grades will command. Mllwau-
kee and Chicago are independent of each
other, and the market reports show that Mil
Waukee, as rule, pays from two to three
cents per bushel more than Chicago. This
IS because Milwaukee grades higher than
Chicago. Nothing demonstrates the FEAST
bility of establishing Minnesota grades more
than the fact that Eastern.dealers have, of
their own accord, established one grade
minnesota No. 1, hard,) for wheat from this
State.
Now let st. Paul become a market in fact.
establish her own grades, have her daily
board, handle grain for farmers and country
shippers, and the producers will be relieved
from the monopoly of Washburn or any
other wheat rings. There never can be a
wheat ring monopoly built up in any corner
of Minnesota with an open competitive
market in st. Paul.

WHY DOES MILWIUKEE FIX THE
GR4DE FOR MILLERS2

WHY DOES MILWIUKEE FIX THE
GR4DE FOR KILLERS?
One of the arguments used in defense of
the Washburn wheat ring is that the Millers'
Association does not fix the grade but that it
is determined by tho Milwaukee Chamber
of Commerce. In order that there might be
no mistake in the matter the ring
imported the distinguished Mr.. Andrews
from Milwaukee, to aid in the grading swim
die.
Will Bill King, Bill Washburn, the distin-
guished Importation from Milwaukee, or any
member of the ring inform us why it is
necessary that wheat bought and used for
milling In Minneapolis should conform to
the grade in Milwaukee? The Washburn
ring buy the wheat for milling purposes.
The value of that wheat depends upon what
it will produce in flour. The ring do not
buy the wheat to sell it in Milwaukee or else
where. When they attempt to throw the re-
sponssibility on Milwaukee they are guilty of
a transparent fraud.
It can be demonstrated that the Millers'
Association realizes from forty to SIXTY cents
per batsllel profit on the No. 3 and No. wheat

st. Cloud Journal-Press. A Paynesville
correspondent sends us the following item:
Mrs. Mariette Town, wife of Homer Town,
OF Roseville, was accidentally shot in the
breast. She had gone with her husband to
look for some colts, and the gun had been
taken along for game. Mr.. Town, standing
on the ground, handed the gun to his wife,
who was in the wagon, and it is supposed
that the load was accidentally discharged as
she was taking the gun with the muzzle
pointed toward her breast. The charge of
shot made frightful wound, but no shot
went inside the ribs. Her case is hopeful.
Dr. Rathbun, of Richmond, is attending
her.
Madelia (Watowan county, Times: A
brother of Register Torson had narrow es-
cape from instant death last Friday after
noon, at John Haseys place, near town. He
was employed with a threshine machine
and while oiling the cylinder gearing, he
was caught in the front of his jacket by the
knuckle of the tumbling rod, and in an in
slant was wound up. It was SO near the
separator that there was not space enough
for him to be carried around the rod, SO it
tore his clothing into shreds, entirely strip
ping him. Fortunately, he was only injured
by the strain upon hi while these were be-
ing torn off, which famed him pretty badly,
but he will be out again in short time.
On late dark night a highway robber
stopped the team of a farmer between Hokah
and Caledonia, and demanded his money.
which he refused to give, when the robber
fired his revolver. The old ''rustic" imme-
diately sprang from his load of lumber and
grappled with his assailant, wrenched the
revolver from his hands and fired two shots
at him, and the last he thinks took effect, as
he dropped to the ground, but hurriedly re-
gained his footing and made away in the
darkness of the night. Upon examination
the farmer found that the ball fired at him
had passed through his overcoat, which was
heavy one, and lodged in large leather
pocketbook, thereby saving him from dan
gerous wound.

work will be at the ballot box in November,

Legislature friendly to the people will be
ci-osen. Meantime the GLOBE furnishes ore
ports" daily which fully sustain Mr.. Hodges
charges. No time is being lost by Mr..
Hodges absence, as information is constant

"report'' should not alarm the Chamber of
Commerce. Whatever that body may do,
the subject has entered the politics of the
State, and there it will remain until the rob-
bers of the Bill Washburn stamp are routed.
