The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1888-10-05

BANKER MERRIAM advocates policy
which taxes the people AZ per cent: on
every dollars worth of clothing they
buy, and on everything they use on the
farm and in the house, and on every
thing they eat and SELL Globe.
The writer of the above knew when
he uttered it that he was telling
an unmitigated falsehood. There is nc
such policy in existence in this country,
and no one advocates the like. The
people of this country are furnished
most of the necessaries of life, clothing,
manufactured articles, and nearly every
thing needed or desired for their com.
fort and happiness entirely free of tax.
There is no article necessary to any clti-
zen's welfare or advantage that is pro-
duced in this country that is taxed AZ
per cent. or any other amount. Such
articles of necessity as are not to be had
at home may be exported free of duty.
Duties are levied upon such foreign
goods as come into competition with
American wares and products, and by
this policy the country has been devel-
oped and made the grandest and most
prosperous on earth. Its people are the
happiest, most intelligent, and enjoy the
most comfort, bodily and otherwise, oil
any on the globe. They are also tie
most prosperous, and the laboring class
es enjoy luxuries never dreamed of by
the working men of other countries.
They are enabled to live thus, and have
the means to buy good and substantial
food and raiment because of the benig-
nant policy of protection which the
Globe maligns as taxing them AZ per cent.
upon their every article of food, clothing
and living. There is no intelligent man
but that knows the tax yarn given above
is densely false in its intent and pur-
pose.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1888-10-05

THE double loaded effision in the st.
Peter Tribune regarding the "boodle'
charges against Mr.. Merriam is of a
character wholly inappropriate to aay
treatment of the matter. There is moth
ing which affords any warrant for
the jocular and would-be funny attempts
Mr.. Collins makes. If the charges were
true they certainly would be too serious
to be made fun of, and as they are not
true, but form part of damnable con-
spiracy to blacken the character of a
reputable and well-deserving citizen,
they are susceptible of nothing but the
strongest condemnation. The 7ribune's
distressing appeal to Mr.. Merriam TO
speak and deny the charges of bribery
is hypocritical. Its editor knows the
only specific charge made has been fully
exposed as malicious mass of forgeries
and misrepresentation. When there
are any straightforward charges made
we predict that Mr.. Merriam will meet
them promptly, but it will be long after
the sweet bye and bye when that is
done. The miserable insinuations, ir-
responsible and unsubstantiated, which
men like the editor of the Tribune have
through spite seemed TO credit and
thereby aided in giving the SANDERS a
foot-hold, were started many months ago.
They were mostly of Democratic origin
and were intended to prevent Merriam's
nomination. The Globe and other or
gans saw in him the strongest possible
candidate the Republicans could nomin-
ate, and Therefore every energy was lent
to the work of preventing his candidacy
But they failed ANONYMOUSLY, and
now in their desperation they propose
to continue the same disreputable meth
DDS, with some variations, to defeat il
possible his election. Nothing better
can be looked for from the Democracy
but for pretended Republican papers to
stoop, through anger at the defeat Of
their choice of candidates, to the same
methods, and to give their covert ap.
proval OF the howl which the party OF
corruption and bosses is raising TO cover
its own filthiness, is sad commentary
upon their conceptin of the principles
of fairness and honor which the Repub.
lican party upholds. But one word Ia
Mr.. Collins, particular. Ifyou have any.
thing on your mind, out with it, and. n
you know how, say it without an at.
tempt to interject poor humor into a
subject which has no funny side what
ever.

Special Harv st Excursions.

The Northern Pacific r. R. announces
a series of five special harvest excur.
sions from st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du.
luth, and Ashland to principal points in
Minnesota, Dakota and Montana during
August, September and October. Par.
ties contemplating trip for pleasure
business, or with view of selecting g
new home can avail themselves of rates
lower than ever before announced IL
visit the wonderful country tributary to
the Northern Pacific r. r.
Tickets will be on sale at st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth and Ashland on

9th and 23rd, limited to thirty days from
date of sale, and good for stop-over on
going passage. These rates to Montana
points are about one cent per mile each
way, and in some cases about half of the
one way fare for the round trip.
Connecting lines east and south of st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth will sell
tickets in connectio with these excur-
sions at one fare 70, the round trip.
The dates name' will be very OPP
perfume time to VI it the wheat fields OF

dining cars, Pullman sleeping cars, or
colonist sleeping cars to Fargo, Grand
Forks, Fergus Falls, Wahpeton, James

Northern Minnesota, North Dakota and
Montana.

HOW IT Is WORKED.

Among the Washington correspon-
dence Of . metropolitan paper the other
day We noticed the following:
A force Of clerks In the Office of the
third auditor Of the treasury have been
doing some work recently which is said
TO be intended for nee by the Democratic
managers IN doubtful states. They have
been making out lists Of male invalid
pensioners in New York, New Jersey
and California, and are now compiling
lists Of such pensioners in Indiana.
These iists Eive the date OF Issue OF the
pension, the rate, the name and the
town and county address Of each PEN
gioner. It 10 said that these lists are to
be sent to the Democratic county COM
mittees and . complete list 70 the state
central committee IN each Of these states.
The purpose is assumed TO be to try to
convert pensioners by Wholesale prom
Uses of Increased rates. The commits
sioner of pensions has the power to
grant such increases.
In this connection we would ask, what
has become of the formerly published
list of pensions granted" TO Minneso-
tians during the past month or six weeks?
In the daily reports from Washington OF
pensions granted" during that time
Wisconsin has had her accustomed num-
Der of one or two dozen granted, while
Minnesota with equally as many old SOL
diers within her bounds and probably as
many having claims pending, has only
had an occasional case acted upon. If
the above article from Washington be
true, are we not warranted in conclud-
ing that our so-called reformed Demo-
cratic administration has been working
this racket on applicants for pensions in
Wisconsin during the past month or
two, with the vain hope of catching their
votes, and letting the equally worthy
and needy claims of the old soldiers
from Minnesota drift along till after
election, knowing full well what the re-
suit will be here. We leave for the pres
ent this very important matter to many
an old soldier in this vicinity, whose
claim has long been pending, and ask
them if they do not now see a solution
of the unnecessary delay in acting on
their case.

is managing Governor Hills campaign,
sent out several thousand copies of the
Sun containg speech by Hill, but also
having several editorials strongly con-

state and national committees, but such

both will 20 down to defeat.

quantity, he holds, will always take care
of itself if the quality be seen toy, and
the progress of invention. Among the
most helpful inventions of the time is
the self.binder, which saved us enough
