the patronage of.the government could
be takensaway from the president, but.
few would do him reverence. He would
be severely let alone, and the mass: Of

term ran out. The president today
stands squarely in opposition to his

Democracy has waged war against the

in its sympathies for the poor. This by
his efforts to. again demonetize silver.
Put Mr.. Cleveland on his own platform,
made by his first message to congress,
and he could not carry one side of
Indiana. The Pacific states would be
in reyolt against him, and he could not
even hold the solid South;.s But yet he
has starved army to treat with. 1t has
been butfeted and surfeited in the stormy
sea Of politics for quarter Of century.
It is hungry. Mr.. Cleveland has the
commissary train. Now and again he
throws bone to Democrat. This in
spires hope. The balance, who are
waiting for the next insiallment, live on
faith, which the lore Of the catecbism
says is the substance of things hoped
for, not seen. Mr.. Cleveland's position
with the parry today is.just this: they
respect him for the Offices he has and
damn him for his principles. To this
complexion has it come at last. The

! Duluth News: 1t il all very fine to
be one of the largest wheat markets in
the world, and do banking and pcs,
oficee business beyond all relation to
our physical proportions. and to have
the railroads struggling for terminal ia
cillities at this point. Wehave, no doubt
unusual advantages of situation. Bu
the real prosperity ola town and its ap
parent prosperity as well, must, in th'
long rum depend on its usefulness
Speculation in wheat, Of the order stylet
nenlegitimate, although it is rot the ut
terly pernicious practice which many
people suppose, is still as considerable I
! factor in the worlds wealth as q polio,
shop or poker club. Anyone VIII
considers the peculator q parasite an,
an unmixed evil is wrong. But whil
everyone who helps the farmer to ma,
ket his wares, who assists in Transporting
produce from the man who has it an
does not want it, to the man who has
not and does want it, performs = ret
service to society, his usefulness mas
always be subordinate to that of th
who gives to the world some concret
!. possession it had not before, Nora
} Duluth with its unquestio ned natur'
advantages, ought ct the earliest possib]
date to be making bar iron into knive
and locks and; plows ana Locomotives
: wheat into -four ana crackers; lumb'
into furniture and cars as well as ial
boards and sashes and doers Men at

E money can be secured by proper re-
resentAtion Of the conditions and ci
i tcnmstanees at Duluth. ~.
