Our Prizes 1t Paris.

The awards to American exhibitors at the
great Paris world fair have been partially
sent hither by cable, but we are enabled
to-day to present our readers with COM
plete list Of them, alphabetically arranged,
procured from official sources in Paris.
While to men in every branch Of business
this long list of honored representatives
Of American inventive genius and industry
will prove especially interesting, it can
prove no less SO to those who simply gain
therefrom an idea of the aggregated force
which America is exerting on the indus
tries of the world. It will give q
timely hint Of the true cause to those
OF other nations who are wondering at the
giant strides America is making in the
world Of manufacture and invention. A
nation which directs so much Of its mental
vigor to the mechanical might not at first
glance seem the one most likely to excel in
the intellectual, but with the increment Of
wealth which that practical mechanical
genius must bring the opportunity to in
dulge the higher propensities will surely
come. We need have no anxiety about the ar
dor with which such an opportunity will be
improved. In looking over the list Of
American grand prize takers-gold, silver
and bronze medallists-it must not be for
gotten that it was only at the last moment,
as it were, it became certain that America
could take anything approaching proper
part in the great industrial competition at
Paris. Many who would, under moro ia
vorable circumstances, have gladly sent
their goods across the ocean wero obliged
to see the last ship sail without their con-
tributions.
To-day the grand ceremony of comforting
the awards takes place in Paris amid all the
pomp which the French government knows
so we'll how to throw around an event of
such importance. 1t will be among the
pleasantest part of Marshal MacMahon's g
duties therein to bestow upon the citizens
of our Republic the typical rewards of their
contributions to the worlds progress.

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-05-09

a week OF Two ago we referred 10
one Ole Lien who, for the punish
ment of the unfortunate tpeople of
Chippewa county, represented them
in the House of Representatives at
st. Paul, last winter. We told how
Ole hunted up the Book Ring in the
Merchants hotel, and how he there
after diligently voted. in season and
out of season, in favor of the Ring
and against the people; and we drew
touching picture Of Ole on his toes,
with his long arm waving wildly in
the air, recording his vote for the
Ring, and glancing around the while
to see if his employers marked how
faithfully he was discharging his con-
tract.
And thereupon Ole got mad, boiled
over, grew scurrilous and profan. },
and abused us in the papers. So we
are told, for we have not seen his val
liable lucubrations. Now this is all
wrong. Ole must have known when
he took the Book Rings money, and
contracted with the Ring to force his
constituents to pay two and three
prices for their school books; that he
could not enjoy his profits and his
popularity both; he couldn't s'have
his cake and eat it, and hence he
should not writhe and howl 80, when
tho gentle caustic of our criticism
was applied to his record. But Ole is
perhaps to be pardOned; he is in the
throes of political dissolution; and as
we do not desire that his grave should
remain unmarked by any memorial
lines, we have prepared this epitaph
for him:
Here lie the bones of Ole Lien;
Long and lean,
Slowed and mean;
The devil surely holds a lien,
On all there is Of Ole Lien.

SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA. THURSDAY MAY9

take the National nomination for
Governor. ''With General Butler I
have had but little talk, and when the
matter of nomination was mentioned
he said that it was too early now to
consider the matter; that it was best
to wait and see how affairs developed.
AS candidate he would be undeniably
very strong. He would rally on his
side many ol4 Republicans; would
develop strength in the Irish element,
and would prove an admirable header.
But it would be wrong to suppose that
the Greenback element and Butler
have any understanding SO that his
name is to be presented as candidate.
Indeed, he has not to my knowledge
openly authorized the use of his name
under any circumstances; neverthe-
less, with his hearty support of our
views, and the impressions left by
conversations with him, should say
that it was not at all unlikely that
General Butler should be our next
candidate for Governor. In answer
to questions regarding the contest in
Buffers district, Mr.. Davol said that
he should not be surprised if Butler,
failing to get the regular Republican
nomination, and desiring to go again
to Congress, should run as an inde-
pendent candidate, in which cause he
would. of course, be supported by the
Greelback men.

A Boston letter to the New York
Times says that the Greenback
element Of Massachusetts,, which has
been rather underestimated as to its
strength in past years, is likely to
prove an important factor in the
election next November. A National
club in Charlestown claims the
balance of power there declaring that
the majority Of Representatives from
Charlestown in the Legislature are in
sympathy with their views. In Lynn
also, there is large organization of
Greenbackers. and Banks district has
An assured National vote of l,5OO.
A. L. Davold, Secretary of the
National State Central Committee,
told the Times correspondent that the
Nationals propose to make good
fight this year. especially in Banks
district, where an effort will be made
to elect to Congress a man Of their
own financial opinions. 1t is proposed
to nominate full State ticket. and to
act as an independent organization,
carrying out the principle Of pre-
senting National candidates - far q
possible. Constant accessions are re-
ported, and there Is much moral
strength to the party in the known
support Of Wendell PHILLIPS and

it not improbable that Butler might

The Kennebec Journal says:


"The prOmulgators of the green
backs heresy denounce the national
banks without reason or decency.
The national banks have accumulated
surplus fund of more than $l20, ,00O,-
900 under provision of law which re-
quires that one tenth of the net profits
of every bank should be carried to the
surplus fund until the same shall
amount to 90 per cent. of its capital. :"
Hence, if one-tenth of their net profit
is $780, 100000, their entire profits in
fifteen years must he 81 200, 900, 900, on
an average capital of less than $780,
100000. And yet the journal cannot
see why we wish to do away with
banks of issue. 1t is simply because
$4,000, 100000 costs the people S. ,2OO,-
00,OO0,000 for it's use every fifteen
years. We want a currency that costs
the people less usnry. Weknow bank
bills are safe, but think they are rath-

icle.
We have no antipathy to national
banks or such, and certainly none to
national bankers, some of whom are
our valued friends, but it does seem
to us, as public man. that there is
no reason why the government itself
should not issue all the money that
circulates in the land, and save the
people this double interest now paid
to the banks on their paper.
What would the national banks say
if we proposed that they call in their
notes and let us issue $500, ZOO, 900 of
our notes in their stead, ,cith their
endorsement, and they pay us fifteen
million annually of profit We fancy
we can hear the howl of derision with

that which the endorsement of the
government gives themi Why not

est! Can any man give us a reason
Yes: there is one. 1t is this: The
country has been for years and is now
ruled by capital. They have subori-
mated everything to the inter-
ests of capital. The result we are
in universal bankruptcy, universal
distress and a volcano of communism
threatening to blow up the whole IA

There are forty millions OF people
in the United States. If each one
economies but $lO-saves that
amount of food or clothing, or travel
or luxury-the sum of that economy
is withdrawal of 500. 900, 900 from
the circulatian of the country, and,
worse than that, a subtraction of
$400, 100000 from the necessity of
production. In other words, it is a
paralytic sirove. If this is done
several times we have succession of
paralytic strokes, and this is probably
the secret of hard dtimes.-Phii0deigh ia
Times.
This illustrates. the truth of the
doctrine preached by THE ANTI
MoNoPoLIsT for years past. The
political quacks told the people that
the hard times were caused by over
production and were to be cured by
economy. We replied that the richer
a country was the more it produced;
and that when the well-to.do econo-
missed the poor suffered. The news
papers are just beginning to get their
eyes open to the truth of these doc.
trines.
How could we produce too much
food when thousands were starving;
how produce too much clothing when
hundreds of thousands were in rags !
The hard times grew out of the
fallacy of trying to make the money
of the world, which should hold a
due proportion to the business of the
world, and this is rapidly increasing
with the unprecedented growth of the
worlds population and wealth, con-
form to the small amount of gold and
silver in the world. 1t is like the
Chinese mother who places the tender
feet of her little child in iron shoes,
to prevent growth proportionate to
the growth Of the body. Not only
are the feet deformed but the whole
body is crippled, and the unfortunate
woman totters through the world
the victim of an ancient and abused
theory.
The effort to shrink the business of
the world to the measure of the gold
and silver Of the world has caused a
rise in the value of money and
shrinkage in the value of all forms of
real wealth; this produces "falling

The workingmen of Minneapolis are
feeling the stress Of the times so severe
ly that they have met in council and
adopted the following very reasonable
resolutions:

To ANY EMPLOYER:
DEAR SIR-We would respectfully
call your attention TO the following
resolutions, adopted by the Working
mems Union at their regular meeting,
Monday evening, April 22d, 1868:
WHEREAS, The unsual depression of
the times demands the strictest econo-
my in all kinds Of business and expen-
ditures, both on the part Of employers
and emplo, es; and
WHEREAS, 1t has been demonstra-
ted beyond Question that all kinds of
business, conducted on a cash basis, can
be carried on at from ten to fifteen ,,er
cent lower than on credit; and
WHEREAS, The proximity of specie
resumption by the general government
and a consequent contraction Of the
currency, it becomes a question Of
thughtful consideration how to make
the best use Of the small earnings of the
laboring classes, and some means adopt
ed to make their meagre wages pur.
chase as much as possible; and
WHEREAS, The system of paying
hired help in this city at monthly in
tervals tends to keep money out of
general and everyday circulation, and
is injurious in its effects to a great
many small dealers and tradesmen, and
should be changed as soon as better
plan can be shown to work; Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, In view of the facts emu
merated, that We respectfully ask all
those employing hired help of any kind
whatsoever, to pay said help as often
as once n week, SO that they can take
advantage Of purchasing for cash, and
thereby save to themselves the per-
centage always given for cash, and pro
tect tho dealers and tzadesmen from
the necessary Losses that . credit sys-

Anapalling calamity has fallen upon
Minneapolis, the particulars OF which
we give elsewhere. In this her hour
of trouble Minneapolis receives the
profound sympathy of all the people
of Minnesota.
The cause Of this distressing affair
is yet wrapped in mystery. The
witnesses who could have explained
it are silent in the grave.
Minneapolis will soon rebuild her
mills and recover from the loss she
has sustained in dollars and cents; but
the lives blOtted out can never be

The Minneapolis market reporter
for the Pioneer Press, a very fair and
we'll posted authority on the grain
markets, does not seem to believeD the
glowing stories told of the winter
wheat crop of the United States. He
says:

been very light during the week, but
