THE PITCHFORK ARGUMENT

Judge MACDONALD says that when
he comes home next spring he wants to
be able to tell the farmers in his district
that they can buy pitchfork of Ameri-
can manufacture as cheap in this eoun-
try as it can be bought in Sweden or
Norway. Everybody knows that if the
judge is not able to tell this story on his
return from congress it will not be the
judges fault. His constituents are as
sured that he is going to do everything
in his power to relieve the people of
Minnesota of this Ubiquitous tariff
burthen. The story of the pitch
fork, however, is what we want
to direct attention to. 1t is a
simple story and a homely Hlustra-
ton, but for all that it furnishes an
argument in favor of tariff revision
which the most skillful sophistry at the
disposal of the prOtectionists cannot
gloss over. 1t is an argument that the
plainest farmer can grasp, for when he
holds the pitchfork in his hand and
knows that he paid round silver dollar
for it, and then his neighbor tells him
that he bought pitchfork identically
like that one, made in New England
shop, too, in Christiana last summer and
only paid 60 cents for it, the farmer be-
gins to have clear and intelli-
gent comprehension of tariff in
equality. He can see that if the
Eastern manufacturer can make pitch
fork, ship it across the ocean and sell it
in Norway for 60 cents and make fair
profit Oh it and then gouges his own
countrymen to the tune of 81 for the
same article, there is an unfair deal
somewhere. 1t doesn't take him long
to discover that the protective tariff is
what enables the manufacturer to take
40 cents as clear steal out of the farm
er's pocket every time he buys a pitch
fork. No amount of learned reasoning
about the duty of protecting in
FAINT industries will ever con-
vince that farmer that he was
not robbed of 40 cents when he
bought his pitchfork, and it was none
the less robbery because it was done
under the form of law. Just such home
made arguments as these are what are
awaking our Western farmers to the
necessity for a complete revision of the
tariff and reduction of the revenues.
And it is just such practical presenta-
ton of tine tariff question that will bring
all our Northwestern farmers fiocking
to the CLEVELAND standard at the next
national election.

Barney CaulfieId and Hoxie.


Barney Caulfeld's death has started
the story tellerS, but here is an anec-
dOte of him that has not been told.
Though CauIfieId and Hoxie were rivals
for the Democratic nomination for con-
gress, in 1876, they never met, and neither
knew the other by sight. One day,
when the campaign was at it's height
and just after some pretty hard things
had been said on both sides, CaulfeId
dropped into the room of one of the
editors of Democratic paper and be-
gan talking about the campaign, In a
moment or two HoXie came in, and
calling the editor a little to one side,
was so vehement in his remarks concern
ing what he termed the cussedneSs of
the opposition that the editor had no
opportunity to introduce the rivals, or
else refrained therefrom out of pure
mischievousness. 81 don't know this
man CauIfield," said Hoxie, threat
eningly, ''but the first time come across
him Pm going to lick hades out of him."
'You are, are You?" exclaimed Caul-
field. rising with smile Oh his face,
'You are, are you?" And HOxie smiled,
too, at the awkwardnesS of the meeting,
and the editor didn't find it necessary
to hold anyDody's coat. He was some
what disappointed because there was no
fight.

mentioned in our presence by all classes
of people, and the same has been true

This has not been because Minnesotian

The Christmas GLOBE was thing of

it is strongly Democratic, but it is read
with interest by many of its opponents.

CONGESTION OF CITIES.

In an article recently published in the
Forum, and written in his usual inimit-
able vein, EDWARD EVERETT HALE
calls attention to the congestion from
which large cities are suffering through
remedy the extension of suburbs and
suburban transportation facilities in
order that people may live in what is
practically the country and yet be near
enough to get readily to and from their
work in the city. The suggestion is an
excellent one. 1t is one that st. Paul
has for some time been trying to put
into effect. but without entire success.
1t is true that her suburbs are slowly
growing, but they offer but little attract
Iveness to the workman, who must be
provided with quick means of reaching
his daily work.
Ii there were adequate means of ac-
cess furnished they would take gigantic
strides forward. that would accommo-
date those desiring cheap and comfort
able houses of their own and would de-
light lot owners. But after all, that is
looking at the matter from st. Pau'S
standpoint alone, and as yet this city is
not suffering severely from congestion,
however desirable access to the suburbs
may be. 1t is some relief for the large
overcrowded cities of the East Nh. HALE
wants and the remedy seems easy of
suggestion. Why does he not advise
those who feel the crowding of their
neighbOrs in the struggle for existence
to come West?
In Western cities the workman who is
master of his trade, and who is sober
and Industrious, can always find enough
to insure his being kept busy; while if,
tired of city life, he desires more breath
ing room, the broad prairies of Mime
sofa and Dakota will afford him a safe
refuge where he need not fear
overcrowding. Farming is not diff
cult to learn. Fertile land may
still be had almost for a song,
and comfortable living for
the man who is not afraid of work is
assured almost from the start. The
colonization scheme which Bishop IRE
LAND has so successfully carried out,
and which has resulted in 10000 people
who would otherwise be co0ped up in
cities finding pleas ant homes through
out Minnesota and Dakota, is case in
point. What he has done others can do.
Tell your surplus people to come up
to the bountiful North west, Mr.. HALE,
and you will soon have no cause to COM
plain of the congestion of Eastern cen
tiers of population.
