KAsSON, Minu., Oct SIN his speech
at Mantorville Tuesday night, Mr..
Dunnell denounced Robert Taylor, the
Prohibition candidate for congress in
this district, as liar. The assertion
delivered, as it was within three miles
of Mr.. Taylor's home at Kasson, where
he is loved and respected, aroused ire
mendOuS indignation, and when on
Wednesday night, Mr.. Taylor before an
audience of 400, proved that he had told
the truth of Dunnell'S whiSkey-vinegar
record, he was cheered and cheered.
This remark or DunnelPs, coupled with
that other of MeTriam'S, made to Rev.
Morgan in st. Paul, that the

had to be bought, have been put in cir
cularS by the ProhibitiOniStS and are
being circulated in every part of the
district. Further than this, f. +. Davis,
in his speech at Austin last week, af-
frOnted the PrOhibitlonistS by the man
ner in which he aSSailed their party.
The result is that the ''wetS" have been
fired to great enthusiasm, and are work
ing with more vigOr than at any other
period of the campaign. They conf
IDENTIFY expect to double their vote by
two sources of gain-diSaffected Repub-
licans and conversions. They have an
active organization in every county,
and bureau of information that is
sending out telling hits on Merriam and
Dunnell. They have prepared Mer-
RAMS low license record, and it is be-
ing quietly circulated in every township
of the district. Their vote in Mower
county was about 200 in 1856, and in
Dodge $50. They claim for this year
400 in Mower and 500 in Dodge.

HIGH PROTECTIVE TIA Fly.
The Fallacies of Mr.. Blain Blown
Out of Water.

81 say, without fear of contradiction,
that in no country in Europe, in no part
of Europe, or in no part of any country
is the condition of labor comparable to
that of the United States. flames G.
Blaine.
This one string-"High wages accom-
pany high protective taritf''-SeemS to
be the only one in tune in all the cam
paign speeches of Blaine and his politi-
cal "preying band"
Blaine, at least, is sufficiently inteli-
gent to know that he is dishonest in
making the tariff responsible for either
low or high wages. He KNOWS that high
protective tariff is the rule in all the
countries of Europe except England,
better off than in most of the other
European countries, that where one
wage-worker comes from free-trade
England to America to improve his con-
ditiOn, score come from high tariff
Italy and Germany. The simple fact
that wages are higher in a new. partly
developed country like ours than in old
countries, proves nothing for or against
either protection or free trade,
and Mr.. Blaine knows it, though
most of the men he has mesmerized,
and who are bobbing around because
Blaine has set them in. motion, may be
ignorant of it. The honest man from
Maine might say with equal propriety
that because the wages were S. per day
in some new and remote mining dis
tricts-as they frequently had been in
our Rocky Mountain regions and in Cal
ifOrnia, in times paSt-that it was ''all
owing to protection"
Things find their level sooner or later.
High tariff is simply the principle of
artificial Stimulant introduced in the
realm of comment. Its presence in
civil institutions, like that Ofrum and to-
baccO in the human system, is inevita-
bly, followed by reaction prostration
and injury when the ''spree is over"
Blaine, however, is logical in this
matter at least, as he declares tobacco
one of the necessaries of life, though
science and all the leading military and
naval schools take the opposite view.
Free trade is the law of nature, and
must sooner or later be the law of ma
tiOns, though Of course it must be ap-
preciated and adopted gradually, for
nothing is more helpless than man
who has lived by plundering and swind-
ling other men to be suddenly checked
and compelled to earn an honest living.
1t is precisely so with a nation that sup
ports and enricheS Its treasury and
limited class of spectators by plumber
ing traders from other nations, as we
are doing at present. But sooner or
later Uncle Sam will be obliged to cease
stealing and lead an honest life.

ADDITIONAL MINNEAPOLIS.
THE JUCH CONCERT.
A Musical Treat Appreciated by
MINNEAPOLIS Musical Lovers.

AuSiSNA AIoE "a %
The Peoples theater last evening was
filled with one of the largest and most
fashionable audiences ever attracted by
a musical event in NJ inneapolis upon
the occasion of the Juch grand concert.
The programme was superb one, the
selections embracing a scope that
could not have failed to give
a delight to far less appre-
ciative audience. AS it was, the
enthusiasm knew no bounds, and the
encOres were both numerous and M
phatic. Miss Emma Juch, the beauti-
full prima donna, has been heard here
before in grand opera, but the impress
sion of ability was considerably height
ened by her singing last evening. Her
rendition of 'Aeuchen Arcetta," from
"Freischutz," was admirable, and as
Marguerite, in the second act of
Faust" she seemed to excel herself.
William j. LAWN, the tenor, fully met
all expectations, as did Sig. Clemente
BolOgne, the basso. The Instrumental
lists, Miss Adele Aus Der Ohe, the plan
list, and Victor Herbert, the viOloncel-
list, created furore by the excellence
of their performances.
A pleasing feature which added not
little to the concert was the attractive
dressing of the stage, under the direc-
ton of j. S. BradStreet.

A Blizzard Romance.

New York Evening Sun.
A quiet wedding took place last even

house at 40 East New York avenue,
Brooklyn. The bride was Miss Mamie

the groom was George Cosine, of Hicks
vile, l.. |. Connected with this we'd
ding there is little romance which is
worth mention.
On the Tuesday following Blizzard
Monday, while Mr.. Cosine, who had
been to this city and was caught by
the blizzard and was unable to get to
his home, was on his way up
town, in Brooklyn, he was suddenly
arrested by series of means seeming
ly coming from woman or child.
Proceeding in the direction from
whence the sounds came. he found a
beautiful young girl lying face down
ward on the snow, sObbing as if her
heart would break. Mr.. Cosine kindly
assisted the young lady to her feet and
found that she could hardly
stand as both her feet were
badly frOst-bitten. Despite her
resistance he lifted her up in his strong
arms and carried her into drug store,
and, after administering some stimu-
lants, hired horse and sleigh and
drove her home.
After that he called at the house
frequently, and the wedding of last
night was the result of the "episode of
the blizzard" as they now call it.

ADA, Mimi. Oct. 5.-The Republicans
of Ada and Norman county got an eye
opener last night as to the strength of
the Democracy in this heretofore almost
solid Republican county in the shape of
the largest torchlight procession and
rally ever seen here. Nearly 200 torch
beauX being carried by influential farm
ers living in this vicinity, few promi-
nent Democrats from CrOOkSton also
being in line. The procession, headed
by the Ada band, marched through the
principal streets and brought up at the
opera house, where the speeches made
by Attorney ID. A. D'Autremont, of
Duluth; ID. u. johnson, of Minneapolis,
and Mr.. Fillardo. of CroOkStOn. were at
tentively listened to and enthusiastic
ally received by hOuseful of people.
Many farmers were on the street to-day,
who say that they were sorry they were
not here last night, but promise that
when Hon. Eugene NJ. Wilson and
Judge Lars Rand speak here, on the 22d
of this month they will all turn out and
make the demonstration to be made then

AT AUSTIN.
Judge Wilson Receives a Great
Ovation.

Special to the Globe.
AUSTIN, Oct. 5.-Judge Wilson spent
Thursday here, speaking that evening
and on Friday holding a levee at the
Robinson house, where he stopped, and
which was attended by as many Repub-
licans as Democrats. When he spoke
Thursday night an audience of 800 well
coined him, among whom were ii. 3.
Cory, a leading Merriam supporter; G.
II. Davidson, banker and once friendly
to Dunnell; Joseph HutchinS, president
of the Republican club; S. S. Wash
burne, congressional committeeman for
this district; Jonas Heaney, DR.. Allen,
ID. B. Johnson, Jr., and w. W. Ranney,
all prominent Republicans as far as the
national ticket is concerned. On
the platform with Judge Wilson
were the following leading Dem
ocrats of Mower county: Hon. J.
J. FurlOng, j. NJ. Greelman, H. Hunt
ingtOn, NJ. j. Slaven, John Wagner, II.
Smith, j. d. Sheedy, A. B. Hawkins,
ID. Campbell; and from Albert Lea,
Messrs. Stacy, Krebs, Gardiner and
Hibbs. The address of Mr.. Wilson, de-
voted as it was to the tariff, provoked
no greater applause from both Republi-
cans and Democrats than when he said:
eff there is anything on earth that is
despicable, it is a creature who will
hire himself out to prevent legislation,
and thwart the will of the people,"
Following this with the assertion:
"Since Mark II. Dunnell was mus
tered out of congress, he has been the
paid lobbyist of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and has spent his time at
Washington in their interest"
Nor did they fail to appreciate this,

Senator Sherman's word for it that this
man Alger, of Michigan, who has made
his millions out of the tax of lumber,
used that wealth to purchase the col
ored delegates to the national cOnven-
ton so that he might have some votes
in that convention. Senator Sherman
asserts that, and l have no doubt but
that it is true" CHEERS
Referring to the Mills bill, he said:
"Whenever any man says to you that
the Mills bill is free trade he is either an
ignoramus or deceiving you. Let me
say it, and deny it if you dare, that if
the Mills bill becomes law it will be
the highest tariff yet on the face of the
earth; higher tariff than the Morrill,
law of the war, which every manu-
facturer at that time admitted was high
enough"
The farmers appreciated this, for they
gave the warmest kind of applause, and
more than one in leaving the hall
stopped to assure Mr.. Wilson that his
vote was with him. The Austin Demo
Gratis see no reason to be discouraged.
Hon. j. j. Furlong, member of the
house of 1887, and a candidate for re-
election, feels that the party is united,
and victory, by steady and persistent
work, certain. Mower and Dodge are
the danger points of the district, but
when the Republicans join in their quiet
way with the Democrats to give Mr..
Wilson aOreceptiOn, and then stand On
the street corners and tell their neigh
bOrs that they will not vote for Dunnell,
it indicates spirit above party working
for his success. Ii. l. G.

meeting contained a representation of
all political parties, since grand Jurors,

of the evening. The address comprised
a careful review of the tariff question
and reasons why Cleveland and Thur

the popular suffrage. The power of
truth was apparent in large accession
of Democratic strength among the audi
ence. Cheers for Cleveland and Eugene

are more conspicuous in their attend
anee on Judge Wilson's meetings than
by their utteranceS in favor of Dun
nell.
"Men are cpming to that state of in
dependence" said Judge Wilson Thurs
day night, that they will not vote for a
man who is VIGOROUSLY bad, although
their party commands them to-"
1t is the courage of men who refuse to
respond to the party lash and who
stand on the streets of KaSson, Dodge
Center and Austin and declare that Mr..
Dunnell is unfit to be elected, and who
decline to vote for him, that is sending
him to defeat. These are not Dem
OcratS; nor Mugwumps; but Republic
cans.
WOULD NOT ASSESS.
Dodge Center had until recently a
Republican club of some sixty MEN,
beers. b. F. Latta was their president.
Strange as it may seem. Mr.. Latta, hold
ing a bundle of Dunnell letters in one
hand and before his fellow-tOwnSmen,
denounceS him as forSwearer of
the truth. At the same time the club,
receiving an assessment of 81 head
from the state central committee, fails
to hold meeting during the last three
weeks or to respond to the assessment.
William Bell, of Ripley township, Dodge
county, telling of DunnellS speech at
MantOrville, said:
1.-The early settlers of this country
held lands that they have never been
able to pre-empt upon. owing to the
fact that it is claimed that they legally
are included in the railroad grants. Mr..
Dunnell has complete list of these
lands and has been retained by many
settlers to secure their lands for them.
He has had some of these cases for
eighteen months, and, although claim
ing that the lands could be secured. has
done nothing. He said in his speech at
MantOrville:
~ do not intend to use this in my
campaign, but Wilson will oppose your
getting these lands
al just listened to him and said, that's
all buncombe. done for dodge. Why
doesn't Dunnell, since he is authorized to
secure the lands for US, get them? He
has had over year to do it in"
C.P. Prince, one of the Oldest Demo
Gratis of Dodge Center, says:
although this is the Republican
stronghold of the county. Wilson will
not fall behind his old vote, and he will
gain votes from the unprecedented and
honest class of Republicans. There
are Mugwumps abroad this year, and
though they are silent now, their votes
Will be against Dunnell. There is no
enthusiasm manifest on the part of the
Republicans outside of the old line of
Dunnell henchmen."

report of the lack of feeling on the part
of the Republicans, and Of the rapid

But Still Has Time to Repre-
sent the Farmers in Congress.
After Mr.. Canning was nominated for
congress in the Fifth district the editor
of the Norman County Herald, visited
his farm and says:
1--WE visited this week the farm of
Hon. Charles Canning, on the Red river,
near Hendrum. Mr.. Canning has 800
acres lying between Hendrum and the
Red river, and like hundreds of other
waste land on it. Mr.. G. was about
to commence threshing his TIM
othy seed, of which he ex-
pected to have over 500 BUSH
els. He has about 600 acres of wheat
and oats and prospect of an imm enSe
yield. Of course there is nothing new
in large fields of wheat and oats, and
what in particular attracted our at
tention was the corn, potatoes,
beans, onions, ETC., that showed
superior cultivation and the improved
husbandry that can draw profits from
something besides wheat. Mr.. Can
ming will send a car load of onions to
the Duluth market and several car loads
of potatoes, beans, etc. His buildings
recently moved to their present loca-
llOl anu uSiuiUiOho OdilO thClCtOs oAO III
an unfinished state, but when complet-
ed will be ample for the needs of the
farm, as Mr.. Canning has an elevator
on the railroad that receives all his
grain from the thresher. We did
not see the fine lot of colts he
is raising, as they were in
distant pasture. but did see and
admire the two magnificent specimens
of the English Shire stock, in which
Mr.. Canning has invested $1,000 and
finds it paying investment. Blooded
cattle and some scores of growing
pigs evince that Mr.. Canning has all
the strings to his bow that thrifty
farmer should have, that his farm is
''manured with brains" and that indus
try and good management is there re-
ceiving its legitimate reward. Should
the farmers of the Fifth district see fit
to send Mr.. Canning to represent them
in congress and who could more ably
and understandingly represent this
agricultural DISTRICT the business on
this fine farm would go right along
under the management of the efficient
foreman, Mr.. Anderson. This is but a
type of many farms along the Red river
and throughout Norman county. A
greater diversity of crops, more stock
and better management appears to be
the idea now prevalent with Norman
county farmers. and it will win.
