whether the surplus should be got rid Of
by e~xtrayagsnt expenditures or whether
the taxes should be reduced. The great
body Of the people were agreed that the
surplus should be reduced by a reduction
Of taxation. The next question presented
was whether that reduction should be ap-
piled TO the tariff or internal revenue
taxes.
MIR. NELSON than quoted letters from
prominent Republicans and Western Re-
publican platforms declaring in favor Of
o reduction of the tariff at an early day.
In the face Of these platform pledges and
these admissions, said Mr.. NELSON, in the
face Of the great and growing surplus
taken from the people and used by certain
banks, without consideration therefor, it
made him sick at heart to think that there
were leading men on his side Of the cham
Ser who at this juncture could not think
OF any other field for tax reduction than
on whisky and tobacco. Surely these we're
not the things on which the poor laboripg
man kept his family. Would it not be
better to give them cheaper clothes and
food and shelter? He would put free su-
gar, free salt and free lumber sgaiGst free
whisky and tobacco, and so would the
great mass Of the American people.
TIE letters read by Mr.. NELSON were
significant. They indOrse his posi-
ton without reserve, and show that the
people CT Minnesota are practically united
on this q question. CHARLES A. PILLS
BURY, a lifelong Republican, and a lead
ing -four manufacturer of Minneapolis,
writes: Your course has met the
approval Of nearly all the peo-
pie in the State. l think
it safe, to say that 80 per cent. of the Dem
ocrats and 10 per cent. of the Republicans
sgree with you." Another Republican,
EARL S. YOUMAS, Of Wiuona, says: Gas
a lumber manufacturer let me thank you
for including that product in your bill, and
as one of the largest wool growers in the
State, except that it might embarrsss the
measure, 1 would be glad to zee wool in
cluded also. It viii require cheek to vote
against your bill, and the member from the
West who does ii will find il difficult to
justify himself to q constituency that is
becoming educated upon this question"
Osher letters from prominent Republicans
endorsed every important feature CT the
Mills bill.
Only one conclusion can be drawn from
Congressman NELSON'S address, the MILLS
tariff bill meets the approval of his State.
Minnesota sends q Republican delegation
70 Congress. The question row il: will
that delegation dare to represent their on
siiluent5 or Sill they be whiI ped Tito line
by the high tax Republican leaders. The
choice is between their party and their peo-
pie, ard it will not be strange if many Of
them like Mr.. NELSON revolt from boss
rule, ard come cut squarely and honestly
in the cause of revenue reform.

THE manifesto Of the Burlington strikers
makes q strong case against the road. The
controversy between the men and the COM
pany has narrowed down to a matter of
wages. 1t is not q question Of road disci-
pIine or control as the Burlington officials
would have it appear.
As a question of wages, by what favor
DOES the wealthiest company of the West
ern railroad system, altar exLaTGgantly
expending thousands Of dollars in q reck-
less and foolish freight war, ask its m
p,oye s to work for less than the anne class
of labor commands on other roads. The
rate of wages asked by the Brotherhood Of
engineers is paid by nins-tenths of the rail-
road mileage of the country. No reason is
apparent iOr an exception in the case Of
the Burlington.

REPURLICAN TARIFF REFoRMERs

REPUBLICAN TARIFF REFORMERS.
The debate on tie Mills tariff bill has
already developed the fact that the West
and Northwest are practically unanimous
in its support. Republicans as well as
Democrats cry out for relief from the bur
densome taxation that has mOrtgsged their
lands and driven their a~griculturalists to
bankruptcy. The sturdy farmer of the
Northwest has begun to appreciate the full
effect Of the war tax tariff. 1t robs him
daily. IL puts q tax upon the implements
Of his toll, the food upon his table and the
clothes upon his back, It has enriched the
protected manufacturers Off of his labor and
restricted him to the bare necessities oflife.
1t is not strange that the tariff reform
sentiment in this section has made rapid
growth. It's strength has already been felt
in the halls of Congress.
The most notable feature of the debates
during the past week was the speech of
Congressman NELSON, of Minnesota. Mr.
NELSON is a leading Republican member,
and has declined reelection from a con-
slitueney that is devoted to him. His adj
dress voiced the plea of his people for relief
from the expressive aud unjust burdens of
an iniquitous tax systtm.
1t Is not honest, he said, to call men
who favored tariff reduction free traders.
The men who opposed eli fcrms of tariff
reduction were not the only friends of
American labor, uor were they the only
guardians Of American enterprise. The
question of protection or free trade was
not fairly involved in the problem Con-
gress hsd to solve. The question was
