The Man Who Advertised

There was a man in our town and he
was wonderous wise, for when he
marked his prices down he then did
advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase
with af1 his might and main, he mark
ed still lower every price and adver-
tised again.
And when he advertised again his
rivals loudly swore, to see folks rush
with might and main to patronage his
store.
And while they sat in solitude and
saw his custom win, that man behind
the counter stood and raked the shek-
els in:
And as he raked the shekels In, and
saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertis-
ing.
Each day generous sum he'd sink
end demonstrate full plain, the more
one pays for printers ink the greater
is his gain.

The Farmers Convention

For years the TRIBUNE has been ag-
itating the question of the farmers
grievances and it is with great de-
gree of satisfaction that we notice the
amount of interest which has at last
been awakened throughout the county.
Over two hundred representative
farmers and business men attended
the Farmers Convention last Satur-
day and from the work done it is evil
dent that those present mean business
in righting grievances and securing
their just rights. The convention
was called to order by G. Phelps after
which r. M. Richardson was chosen
chairman and r. J. Hall, Secretary.
Messrs. Phelps, Stone and.J. Maginnis
were appointed committee to raise
funds for deffayiug the expenses of
delegates to st. Paul. Upon motion
the Chair appointed Messrs, Gillian,
Pearce, Smith, Wellington and Stan=
ton, a committee on resolution. The
following well known representative
men were chosen to represent the
county at the state convention: l.. E.
Pearce, r. J. Hall, T. HI. Barrett, G..
Nj. Giltinanand M. IL. Nalkes, These
delegates were given the power to APP
point substitutes. Upon motion the
Chair appointed G. Phelps, John Ma
ginnis and w. w. Griswold a stand
ing COMMITTEES who will have power
to call further conventions, and take
such action as circumstances may re-
quire. The resolutions reported by
the eomu,ittGe and adopted by the
convention are w. follows:
THE RESOLUTIONS.

the condition of prosperity in Mime

unjust treatment Of him, be it
Resolved, That the farmers Of Stew

do enter this our protest a gainst these

Mr.. EDITOR:
What do you think of the so-called
Farmers convention? Was it not
one of the greatest humbugs ever
carried out in Stevens county? The
citizens of Framnas, Hodges, and
Swan Lake thinks so at least. Those
three townships are reputed to be the
best farming towns in Stevens county
but not one delegate represents them,
while the leaders of the Democratic
Political ring of Morris ran the whole
thing into the ground. But we are
not all disappointed. 1t went just as
we had epected and just as the ring
would have it. It was not conven-
ton of farmers but one of bankers,
money sharks, merchants and law
yers-everything except farmers.
Farmers were not included. 1t came
out with a new model for making
watts for some unexpected candidate
for the next election, teeming with
new Improvements. If each delegate
has to show what occupation he fol-
lows some of them will be cast over
board in st. Paul, provided it will be
meeting for farmers only. Mean
while let those ring leaders know they
are spotted for the next election even
if they are Democrats and don't let
them forget it either.
LITTLE NORWEGIAN.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1884-03-19


We have but little sympathy with
the views of the gentleman who adj
vanced the idea, in the Farmers con-
vention of last Saturday, that no one
should be chosen as a delegate to the
convention now in session at st. Paul
who is not farmer, exclusively. so
far as present grievances are concerned
the interests of Stevens county farmers
and business men are identical. The
prosperity of business men here de-
ponds directly and entirely upon the
prosperity of the farmer and this being
the ease to say that these business
men would do all in their power to
correct the evils in the present system
of handling and grading wheat is
simply ridiculous. Many of our bus
mess men are also farmers and have
q double integest in the matter. Con-
corning railroad monopoiies the bus
mess man has as many Interests at
stake as the farmer and can not, and
he true to his own welfare, refrain
from joining with him to secure the
abolishment Of present extortionate
tariffs. In this farmers movement
business men have a joint interest
and any effort to array the one class
against the other is ill-timed and can
result only in detriment to the cause.
Let both work harmoniousiy and
unitediy to secure objects now in view
and the end sought will be accom-
plished quickly and surely.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
should not have wrangled with
the Rev. Mr.. Watry any longer, had
1t not been for an absurd, personal
charge in his last letter, which makes
1T necessary for me to make few re-
marks.
The Rev. gentleman questions my
ability to meet him in an intellectual
combat, on the ground that u comma
had slipped in my last letter, where
there should have been a period. AT
the close of the same letter find an
other instance, where perio is
placed instead of a comma. Whether
this is my mistake, or not, / dare not
say. One thing is certain whatever;
it is very purile charge on the side
of my opponent.
This kind of tactic is nothing new.
1t is very common amongst Catholic
priests to handle their opponents in
this way, when they see, they have u
poor case.
Now for all the world argue ad
hominem: Abuse the person himself.
1t will take effect upon certain
class at any rate. If my memory
serves me right, we had this very
phenomenon in the history Of Morris
before, that Catholic priest fell up
on and abused an old, gray-haired
Methodist minister.
The Rev. Mr.. Watry wants the case
to be personal. Very well he shall
have the benefit of it.
We should certainly not expect the
the Rev. gentleman would make him
self guilty of similar mistakes, which
he so severely censures others for.
But not so. Or what kind of language
is this? II would have never men,
toned" 1t is not English, l. am cer-
tain. would respectfully refer the
Rev. Mr.. Watry to some pupil attend
ing his own school and have the SEN
tence in question rectifed.
Possibly, if we examined the pre-
vious communications of the Rev.
gentleman, we might find similar
mistakes
My Rev. opponent assumes the air
of great logician and thinks and seems
to feel bad because he has mentioned
the word "syllogism" on account of
my ignorance. Well, I am sorry too.
I shall not expose myself and claim
to be a learned man; Git would be very
silly indeed,) but I do claim to possess
bit of common sense.
When the Rev. Mr.. Watry insin-
yates by his assertion, that the Luther
an church, which is Protestant
church, can not make believer of a
skeptic, he shall find me at home and
that shall ''stick to my last" But
I forbear.
What is the use of arguing with a
person, who bids goodbye to logic
and common sense.
