THAT TREASURY LEAKAGE.

The admission unwillingly made to
the public by State Treasurer BoBLE-
TER in regard to the depleted condition
of the public treasury is one which will
arrest the earnest attention of every
taxpayer in the state of Minnesota.
This is no campaign roorback or sensa-
tional stuff originated for partisan pur-
poses. 1t is statement from a state
official. who belongs to the party in
power and who is a candidate for re-
election OH the Republican state ticket.
Therefore there can be no suspicion that
it was sprung by the Democratic
managers. Nor is it any surprise to the
public that the state treasury should be
exhausted. The wonder is how Treas
urer BOBLETER has managed to bridge
over the finances of the state so long in
the face of the eXtravagant eXpendi-
lures that have been made by success
sive Republican administrations. The
taxes have been high enough all the
time, and the taxpayers have been
prompt enough in paying their taxes.
The whole trouble has resulted from
the pronigate waste of public moneys.
1t is within the bounds of truth
and reason to say that the ag-
gregate appropriations made by
the last state legislature were sufficient
to keep in successful operation three
state governments like ours if admins
tered with proper economy. And when
in addition to all this profligacy it is
taken into consideration that the legis-
lature, in its anxiety to befriend the
corporations, released payment of nearly
a million dollars OF unpaid taxes that
should in all honesty have gone into the
public treasury, we can very well see
why there are no available funds. 1t is
high time that halt was being called
in the official extravaganza that has
characterized Republican rule in this
state, and that the administration of the
state government be turned over to a
party that knows something about
honesty and economy in administering
public affairs.

FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.

1t is seriously argued by some Repub-
lican organs, and notably by the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, that American
farmers are protected by the tariff on
their products. Such a statement is
treated by intelligent farmers with de-
risive contempt. That the tariff levies
a tax of 20 per cent on imported
live animals is true. But this is
an injury instead of a benefit to
the farmer, since the only animals
imported to America are blOOded
stock for breeding purposes. The farm
ers, therefore, pay 20 per cent more for
such stock than they would if there
were no tariff on it.
There is also tariff tax of l cent a
pound on beef and pork, and 2 cents a
pound on bacon. But when were these
articles ever imported to the United
States? We supply these things to all
other countries. We send them out;
we do not bring them in. Over $780,
10000 worth of beef, pork and bacon
leave the United States annually for
European markets. We might impose
a tariff of 81, COO pound on these arti-
cles, and it would not affect the price a
cent.
There is also tariff of 20 cents a
bushel on wheat and 10 cents on corn.
But what Minnesota farmer has ever
derived a benefit from this tax. 1t
might as well be nothing OF anything.
1t could make no difference. We ask
no odds of any grain growers on the
globe. We can ship our cereals across
the sea and sell them just as cheaply as
the pauper-grown grain of Europe and
Asia can be sold. Our exports of
these articles amount to 500, 900
annually, and outsiders have never
shipped bushel of grain to our own
markets, except seed wheat, and on that

II will not tend to make the friends of
Governor McGill feel any more kindly to
the present nominee of the party fer Mer-
riam organs like the Red Wing Republican
to taunt the governor with the success of his
opponents. Perhaps twould be just as well
for the victors to be fair and as generous as
possible under the circumstances, even if
there is no danger of Cleveland's retaliation
bill becoming law. The Merriam faction is
on top. Does it want to remain simply
faction, or shall faction merge into party and
a united front be presented to the mutinous
enemy? The success of Mr.. Merriam will be
received in honest loyalty by all good Repub-
Iicans, the friends of Governor McGill in
cluded, but the snarllng of ill-bred whelps
behind the Merriam fence will perhaps not
be the best welcome into Merriam's door

the pending treaty shall be rejected
by China before that time, but
shall take effect Immediately on such
rejection, and that the president shall

GAS D. m. local time:


One disastrous result of the tariff IS
that it encourages and protects trusts.
The tariff demands AZ per cent eleya-
ton in the price of all the necesSaries
of life on the average, and enables
manufacturers to maintain high prices.
This word trusts is not what is UNI
derstood by the law term, where it
means the selection of a man of integ-
rity to whom the interests of others are
entrusted. The trusts | allude to are
not Of that kind: they are simply legal
lied robbers of the people. The manu-
facturers of salt, wool, iron, etc, say:
ave must keep up prices and hold our
profits" They see they are free from
outside competition and are able TO
dictate what they please if they work
together. So they form a trust and
agree to pool their profits. Perhaps
there is little overprOductiOn in their
line and prices are going down.
The trust orders some of the
mills closed. All the money
made goes into the pool and is
divided prOpOrtiOnately. The manu-
facturerS all obey the dictates Of the
trust, and when their mills are ordered
closed they get their profits the same
as if they were running. SO the pro-
ductiOn is regulated little below the
demand, and the price is kept high.
The absence of foreign competition en-
ables this to be DONE In such a move
the result to the poor labOring man,
who is at once stopped from earning
money, Is not considered at all. He
doesn't count at such time the way
he does when November comes and his
vote is wanted to sustain these same
iniquities. [Applause.l 1t is legaliZed
robbery, gentlemen, nothing more.
When the trust says shut down the mill,
the mill is closed. When it says put
up the price, the price goes up. When
it says coal must increase 80 cents per
ton in midsummer, the increase is
added at once, and the people pay it.
The manufacturer draws his profit just
the same. "-EUGENE WILSON'S adj

\ REFORM THAT REFORMS.

In reforming the revenue laws the
Democratic party intend to benefit, and
not to injure labor. The proposed
changes in the tariff are not in the
interest of the manufacturer and the
millionaire, but in the interest of the
wOrkingmen. On this subject Mr..
CLEVELAND says:
In all efforts to remedy existing evils, we
Will furnish no excuse for the loss of en-
plOyment or the reduction of wages of honest
toll. On the contrary we propose in any
adjustment of our revenue laws to concede
such announcement and advantage to the
employment of domestic labor as will easily
compensate for any difference that may exist
between the standard of wages which should
be paid to our laboring men and the rate
allowed in other countries. We propose too,
by extending the markets for our manufact-
urers to promote the steady employment of
labor, while by cheapening the cost OF the
necessaries of life we increase the purchas-
ing power of the workingman's wages ana
add to the comforts of his home.

pensions. 1t will be seen, however,
that the house committee made nine
teen more reports than the senate COM
mittee. Following is comparative
STATEMENT OF THE WORK
by some of
THE PRINCIPAL COMMITTEES
IN the mouse during the present session
and the first session of the last con-
gresS. The committee on ways and
means received 1S5 bills and twenty-six
resolutions. 1t reported back to the
mouse twenty OF these measures. In the
hrSt session of the last congress
195 bills and resolutions were
received of which number thirty were
acted upon and reported. Naval affairs
received 154 house bills and sixteen
senate bills, of which number it re-
ported forty-two of the house measures,
and six OF those from the senate. In
the first session of the last con-
gress, POS bills were received, and fifteen
were acted upon. Indian affairs
mas received los bills and reported IL.
In the session of two years ago it re-
celyed 1872 bills and reported II.
Judiciary received 295 bills, reported
favOrably 81 and adversely IS. In the
session two years ago, it received 273
acted upon. Commerce received 80
bills, and took action upon
225. In the session two years ago it re-
celyed 245 bills and acted upon 100.
There were nine contested elections in
the house, and all but two have been
disposed Of by the committee on cleo
tons. The Smalls- ElIiOtt contest,
from South Carolina. and the Sui
llvan-Felton contest, from Cali
fornia, are yet before the
committee. The committee will recon-
mend the unseating of FELTON,. In the
other eight cases the committee agreed
that the sitting members should retain
their seats. In the first session of
the last congress there were four
contested election cases outside of the
general challenge of the entire Cali
tornia delegation, which awaited moth
ing. Three OF the four contestants
were disposed of by permitting the
sitting members to retain their seats.

Great Day for Democrats.

Special to the Globe.
EVANSVILLE, Wis, Sept. 13.-It was
a Democratic day at the Rock County
fair to-day. The address of the day
was made by Secretary of the Interior
w. f. Villas. Mr.. Villas discussed the
record of the Democratic party for the
last three years at considerable length.
BY the efforts of the party the peoples
land has been reclaimed from land
grabbers, the. peoples money saved and
the financial affairs of the country
lifted from the precarious condition, in
which they were in 1884, to basis of
confidence inspiring and sound. In
order that this might be kept up he
recommended an immediate reduction
Of the tariff to figure simply sufficient
for government expenses. Mr.. Villas
left this afternoon for the east. This
evening a rousing Democratic mass
meeting was addressed by the Hon.
Frank Hurd in the interests of tariff
reform.

there is tariff of 20 cents a bushel.
This is how that tariff protects farmers.
The simple truth about this whole
matter of nominal tariff on farm prod
ucts is that it was placed on them as a
blind by the protectionists, who, when
taxing everything that the farmer buys,
tackled tariff.also on his produce, with
the sole object of making him, in his
supposed ignorance, think that he also
is protected by tariff that was in real
ity organized to pillage him.
Every farthing that is laid for the os-
tensible protection of the farmer is a
dummy tax.

Astronomer ProctOr's Body Re-
moved to North Brothers Island
NO Danger Anticipated.s
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The body of
Prof. Richard A. Proctor was removed
forenoon from the hospital where he
died to North Brothers Island. There
it was laid in an isolated dead house,
specially provided for such purpose, and
there it will be kept until adviceS have
been received from the family in Flor
ida, or abroad. as to their desires in the
matter of interment. No one who knew
him will look on Prof. PrOctOr'S face
again. Before the body was removed it
was called in metallic coffin that will
not again be opened. This
is according to sanitary laws,
which also prohibit public or church
funerals of yellow fever dead. 1t was
decided to-day that in view of the char
acter of the symptom of black vomit in
Prof. PrOctOr'S case no autopsy was
necessary. Now that the worst is
known, there is neither apprehension
nor excitement at sanitary headquart-
erS. Everything has been done that
need be, and tine health authorities an
ticipate no danger from this case. The
only possible peril is from the daily
arrival of refugees from Florida and in
the chance of some one of them lying
ill with the fever unsupported until the
contagion has had time to work. A
dispatch was received at sanitary head
quarters to-day from Florida stating
that Prof. Proctor's wife and family
had started for this city. They will ar
rive tomorrow. 1t is probable that the
interment will be in Greenwood Gene
tery.
