FINED.

His champions-newspape or indi-
VidualS-have not controverted the
charges made against him on these
scores. They have ignored them, as if
they had no existence in fact.
In this they betray their lack of polit-
ical knowledge and will only have crow
to eat after Sept. 5.
ANY Republican cannot be elected
this year.
A high-tariff Republican cannot be
elected this year.
A low-license Republican cannot
succeed. =
No Republican can succeed this year
whose OWL party charges him with buy
ing delegations to the state conventions,
with sowing the border counties with
money and corrupting the voters.
No Republican can succeed this year
against whom there stand unrefuted
charges of employing large corruption
fund for the purpose of buying the nom
inatiOn.
If Mr.. Merriam is nominated there
will be a greater bolt from the Re-
publican party than there was in 1886.
The Ortonville Herald-Star says
boldly that Mr.. Merriam's managers
(whoever they be) have contracted to
pay $500 for the vote of Big Stone
county in the state convention. 1t
adds that the man who is to deliver the
goods is the same one who sold the Big
Stone vote at st. Cloud for $3.50.
1t will be plain enough when the Re
publican state convention assemblies
that Messrs. Merriam and Scheffer Will
occupy berths in the same boat for Salt
river.

The Scheffer Men Get Pills

More.
Good Reasons Why Scheffer
and Merriam Are to Lose
This Trip.
The People Continue to Talk
About Candidates and
the Issues.
Candidates Who Wish to Seize
Upon the Small
Offices.

For creating sensational scares some
of the Scheffer managers take the bis
cult. 1t was only few weeks ago that
they succeeded in divorcing John S.
Pillsbury from McGill and attaching
him to the tail of the Merriam kite.
Now they spring the story that Pills
burg has dropped Merriam and gone
back to McGill. They give the ex-gov-
ernor credit for a degree of Hopping
only equaled by the phenomenal phe-
nomenon, John l.. Gibbs.
There was an apparent show of truth
in PillsbuIy's desertion of McGill. but
time has not proved it, and it is proba-
BILE that, like Fletcher, John S. remains
true to the man whom he helped to
make, nearly defeated and has since
blushed for several times.
John S. is old enough in politics to
know that unless the entire state con-
ventiOn is purchased outright, Merriam
cannot be nominated, and that as for
Scheffer he is between Scylla and
CharybdiS and certain to wreck on one.
McGill. of the three, has the most GER
tainty of being nominated, and if he is
beaten it will be by new candidate
whom John S. may name.
The vital points of weakness in Mer-
riam's campaign are his money, his low
license record and his mining record as
a pO' itical candidate in his own home.

Ike all other buyers, they prefer to buy

Ike all other buyers, they prefer to buy
the best and cheapest.
Ii is fairly evident from these statis-
tics that our American farmers, as well
as the farmers of India, must make up
tier minds to accept still lower prices
than they have yet received if they eX-
pect to compete with Russia in the
English wheat market. How is this to
he done, is the uppermost question i'll
he minds of our Western farmers.
They are selling wheat now at ruinous
rrices, and how can they afford to sell
at still lower prices? 1t is beyond their
power, even with the aid of their Indian
rivals in wheat production. to drive
hussian wheat out of the English mar
kets. What, then, is to be done
about it?
There is only one rational answer to
the question.
The conditions for raising wheat must
be cheapened. That is the answer.
How is this to be done? we are asked.
Simply by removing the useless and
unnecessary taxes from all articles that
farmers must buy. With cheaper farming
implements, with cheaper clothing,
with cheaper homes, with cheaper
transportation for their surplus prod
ucts, the farmers of the West could
compete with Russia, or all the world
for that matter, in food production.
But as long as the existing war taxes
are retained, the farmers of the West
Will have their noses held to the grind
stone, and they will be ground off of
them, too, while Russia will be prosper
ing with a trade that the God of the
Universe designed as the great element
III American prosperity.
There is no country on the face of the
globe so well adapted by nature to
cereal productions as our own, and yet
there is none which in so limited de-
gree enjoys the bounty of natures pro-
vision. And 1t is all because the life of
the farmers is being taxed out of them
for the benefit of few Eastern manu-
facturerS.

MAGNUS M LUNNoW. rapid and marked.
Inc hepubllcan party represents no
issue which can attract the RAPIDLY in
creaslng population. Seven ner cent
OF the Scandinavians who will tbis wear
vote IN Minnesota came here since the
war, ana have neither knowlege of nor
use Tor the Republican cry of who saved
the country. The Republican party
was rounded III and has lived by an is
H Sue utterly dead to these new voters.
The tariff is the one living Issue, and
upon 1t most of the Scandinayjans are
with the Democrats. Accessions to the
Democratlc party from the ranks of Re-
puollcan SWedeS and Norwegians are
reported every day, and this fact is the
greatest cause of anxiety in the secret
council OF the Republicans. The latest
convert announced is Magnus Iunnow
editor OF the Svenska Folkets TidniDg.
OF minneapolis, the most widely circu-
lated Swedish newspaper in the North
west. GLOBE reporter called on MIR.
LunnoW and asked if the general report
correctly represented him. Said he:
NO, IL does not. L am currently re-
ported as eaVlng gone over completely
10 Che Democratic party, but the fact is
| have not yet made up nv mind. One
thlng, however, is certain, i cannot stand
on the Chicago platform, nor support the
nominees OF that convention. | have
not gone so far as to say | will support
cleveland and Thurman, but [ will saw
heartily favor radical reduction of
the tariff, such as is recommended in the
Democratic platform.
1ou nave always heretofore sup
ported the nominees OF the Republican
yarty?"
Invariably. Our paper has been
hepubllcan paper, always, but now we
are in the position of independents.
What we will do in the future will de.
pehd on the nominees of the two parties
for state Offices"
-, IVY hat is the general feeling among
the Scandinavians?"
speaking for the Swedes, I can saw
that they are certainly in favor OF a re-
ductl0n of the tariff. All of the leading
papers of the country have taken up
that view and the masses are falling
INTO line. The Swedes move slowly. in
thought, but when they reach a conclu-
sion they are hard to change. The
SWedisil-American, of Chicago, circu-
iates very largely up here, and it is warm
ior tariH reform. AS result
1t has become independent, ,and the same
is the case with other influential papers.
All OF these, you must bear in mind,
were Republican papers. There were
no Democratic Swedish papers, and
only few years ago there were no
Democratic Swedish voters, either.
Now they begin to be independent, and
the tariff question is at the bottom of it
ALL"
What do you think will be the atti-
tude of the masses of your voters?,
Il believe many of them will this
year vote their first Democratic ticket.
They made a start in 1886 for Ames, and
will increase their number this year.
No, it was not McGill that started them.
but the personal popularity of Ames
that carried them off. For the most
part, they will remain Democrats, and
will increase their number. There is
an active and actual issue now, and they
are rampant for low tariff"
What is your own postion?"
II have hardly made up my own
mind. | am certainly for low tariff, and
refuse the Chicago PLATFORM

GEN. SHERIDAN'S FUNERAL.

This is day of national mourning.
Gen. SHERIDAN'S remains will be com
mitted to their final resting place, and
The whole nation will stand with uncov-
cred head in respect to the memory of
the dead commander. 1t is being done
with SHERIDAN as ought to have been
done with GRANT. He is TO be buried in
national cemetery, on an eminence over
looking the national capitol, and but
little ways from Mount Vernon. He will
also sleep in the midst of an army of
brave comrades, who gave their lives in
the cause which he distinguished. and
almost within sight of the scenes which
were made historical by his and their
valor. Looking from Arlington west
ward one can distinctly see the beautiful
Blue ridge, just beyond which, in peace
ful repOSe, lies the beautiful Shenan-
doah valley, where SHERIDAN made his
memorable twenty-mile ride. Looking
southwark the eye can almost locate the
exact spot where once stood the famous
apple tree at AppomattoX. How fit
place, then, is Arlington for the graves
OF the illustrious dead, and what happy
thought it was to lay SHERIDAN there.
The next movement should be to re-
move the remains of Gen. GRANT to
rest by his side, and then TO leave
resting place for Gen. SHERMAN when
his time comes; and thus Arlington,
like Mount Vernon, will become conse-
Grated ground forever.

st. Cloud Times.
The course of the st. Paul GLOBE in
the present canvass for the Democratic
nomination is one which thoroughly dis
gusted Democrats and delighted Repub-
licans in this locality, no matter what
that feelings may be towards the So
called "bosses." The GLOBE appears to
have dropped its mission as an organ of
the state Democracy, and is deVoting
all its energies to defending and vindi-
eating the city hall and Ramsey county
gangs" so called. 1t is evident, too,
that the GLOBES sympathies are for AL
bert Schetfer, and that it has only abuse
for such lifelong and loyal Democrats as
Judge Flandrau. Towards Hon. E. M.
Wilson, the apparent choice of theMinne-
sofa Democracy for governor, the GLOBE
maintains an unfriendly attitude. Mr..
Wilson is acknowledged to be the su-
periOr of any Republican candidate and
the peer of any Democrat in the State.
He is not, nor never has been, allied
with what is known as the ''Kelly and
DOran'' wing of the party. Why, then,
the GLOBES position? Simply because,
like the Ramsey county Scheffer delega-
ton, it cares nothing about state party
success. 1t seeks only the triumph of
the gang"
1t was a sorry day for the Democrats
of Minnesota when this damnably un-
principled importation of VirginianS ar
rived among US, and set up as their
standard of politics the Malone Riddle
berger methods.

TO believe that the falling off of our
wheat trade with Great Britain and the
corresponding decrease in the price of
wlRat has resulted from competition
with India. We have, therefore, most
surprising revelation in the official fig
ures recently published by the British
board of trade, which demonstrate that
the Indian wheat crop cut very little
figure in governing the English market.
The official returns for the first half of
this year, as compared with the same
period for 1887, reveal the fact that it is
Russia, and not India, that is the most
formidable competitor our American
wheat growers have to contend
with. The figures for 1887 show
the amount of food stutfs shipped
from the United States, in hundred
weights, to have been 17,52S.00O from
India 3,603, 600, from Russia 1,491, 200
and from all other countries 3.121, 200.
The amount shipped from the United
States was twelve times more than from
Russia, four times more than from India
and more than double all the grain
shipments in the world. For the same
period in 1885 there is startling differ
ence in the figures. Our shipments
drop off more than one-half, India loses
one-third, while Russia gains over SOC
per cent. and makes showing almost
equal to that made by the United States.
Here are the official figures for the first
half of the year 1855: United States,
S,S37 900; India, 1,S79,0O0; Russia. $780,.
600; and other countries 4,112,OOO.
Thus it will be seen that Russia is
displacing both India and ourselves in
the London wheat market. The British
board of trade returns likewise show
that Russia also placed extremely large
quantities of oats and barley upon the
market during the past half year. The
reason why the English buyers have
Disseminated against their own coun
t.ymen, as well as ourselves, is because
