In a farming community like ours,
which can not boast of metropolitan
cities, and which is naturally forced to
rely on the pursuit. OF agriculture, it is
Of necessity law, that the conditions
of business and other mutual relations
should inspire observation-disclosures.
1t is first and foremost the business
man, the store-keeper, who being de-
pendent on the support of the farmers,
strives to gain their trade by creating
such confidence as will merit the
patronage of his customers. He as an
honest dealer sees that it is necessary
for his welfare that he treat his friends
with fairness and liberality, and as his
reward he will gain by these means the
continued support of his customers A
mutual friendship is at once established,
and one helps the other as best he can.
The farmers produce wanders to the
commission dealer, who supplies. him
in return with the commodities neces-
sary for his household Their relations
become of such an intimate nature that
one can not prosper without the other,
that one suffers if the other be unsuc-
cessful, just as well as one thrives if the
other succeeds. 1t is therefore but nat
ural that both parties should avoid any
and all misunderstanding, that they
consider together those measures, which
would further q more satisfactory end,
thereby making it impossible for any
disturbance to enter in their relation
ship. Such intimacy, existing already
between private parties, ought, in order
to arrive at the best results for farmers
and businessmen, be created on large
scale, if we may SO call it, and if both
parties would unite in common coun-
Gil, if the city board of trade confer
with the executive committee from the
farmers alliance, we feel sure, that all
topics relating to the prosperity of the
businessman as well as the farmer,
could be profitably and fully discussed.
AS it now is we would not be justified
in calling either society an incomplete
affair, but we would certainly not fall
short of the mark if we characterized it
as one sided. 1t is true that topics
may come up before the board of trade,
which are only for their consideration,
which would treat of private affairs,
just as it may be with the farmers, but
none will doubt that questions often
arise, which to answer fully and cor
rectly, need the consideration of both
organizations.
We are not wild over this project, it
is not grand idea, over which we have
labored for years, over which we have
spent hours of labor and contemplation,
but it is u proposition, which is offered
as a solution of difficulties, which have
of late spread dissatisfaction and an
noyance in our own immediate commu-
nifty. 1t is suggestion which we offer
for thorough consideration by both
business man and farmer, and to ex-
plain the reasons and causes which
lead us to unresesvedlY state our opin-
ion on this subject, we will enter upon
statement of facts.
It is not of late occurrence that farm
ers have assembled to protect them
selves against high prices, established
by the businessmen of their own towns
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-04-18

and formed what is called s.granger-or-
CARNATIONS. Such a society would
merit the earnest support of every tiller
of the soil, of every laboring man, if the
business men of a community were SO
entirely disregarding the rights of their
customers, as to charge them more
than an honest and just profit on their
goods, if they would control the market
in such manner as to be called bust
ness-sharks. Such Il time may have
existed; il exists temporarily, where
unprinclpled dealers take advantage of
the unprotected and poor farmer, who
has just pitched his tent on the border
of civilization, but in we'll established
community, such as are our towns and
their vicinity, it is out Of the question
thata condition of things exists, which
| would allow the farmer to 90 elsewhere
to make his purchases. Let US take in
to consideration our own city, New
Ulm. The farmers of Brown and Mic
ollet counties have a just right to point
to it as result brought about by their
com bined efforts with those of our bust
ness men, and where in the rich east or
the prospecting west can one show us so
solid and prospecting country city as
our own town? Its existence is not
due only to its immediate inhabitants,
but to the farmers, who have found
here and will ever find frst-class and
fair market for their produce.
The prices paid by our merchants for
the hundred and one articles brought
in exchange for the productions of the
farm and dairy, match favorably with
those of any town, which owes its well
fare to the success of the farmers, and
no better home market can be found
anywhere. 1t is therefore with sur
prise and dissatisfaction that we learn
that our farmers are carrying on an
outside trade, that they obtain their
supply of groceries and other necessary
commodities from so-called grange
houses, who in open defiance with long
accustomed business usage, carry on a
business tactic wholly inconsistent with
good and fair business principles. They
send out their agents, who, glib of
tongue and loose of conscience, canvass
the country and by unprincipled mis-.
representation of facts, gain the conf
dence of the farmers, who give them
their support. Such proceeding is
radically wrong; it is injurious not only
to the business man, but to the farmer
in the end, for let confidence once be
broken, let hard times once ensue, and
wherefrom will the farmer derive his
daily supplies? He has forfeited the
friendship of his retail friend in town,
who has the right to prosper by asking
q fair profit on his goods, and the
wholesale grange house will not, we
dare assert, give a moments credit if
hard cash is not forthcoming.
Let our farmers consider further pro-
ceedings, ere they injure the interests
of their friends and themselves. Let
them if they wish submit their whole
sale orders to our established business
men in the city, and let them then be
assured that they can do as well right
at home, that the dealer can furnish
them with just as good goods, If not bet
ter, and at just as fair prices. Let
them bear in mind that mutual
friendship furthers all ends.

General Benjamin Harrison's personal
ity has been the prominent and oYershad-
owing feature of this campaign. His
speeches have given him national repu-
tation. He has stumped the United States
By telegraph Without going away from
his home-alnost without leaving his
doorstep-he has addressed more and
larger audiences and more varied in char
acter than any Presidential candidate ever
did. He has not sought publicity, but
publicity has sought him. His speeches
have brought him into contact with the
entire American people. They have been
read by millions the morning after their
delivery, and have been the subject of
breakfast table comment from Maine TO
California. Every speech he has made
and every sentence of every speech
has been carefully scrutinized BY his
political enemies for a loophole of attack.
No shipwreeked mariner ever scanned the
horizon for a friendly sail more anxiously
than Democratic purveyors Of campaign
material have scanned these speeches for
something they could utilize. They have
searched IN vain. General Harrison has
not made a single .bad break" nor q single
error. He has said the right thing, in the
right way, at the right time, and that con-
tinually. Every delegation that has come
here has gone away delighted with the
candidate, strongly impressed with his
personality and convinced that his speech
to them was the best of all. Thus General
Harrison has grown upon the country from
the day of his nomination, and has more
than yindicated the expectations of his
Sacramento daily record-union., 1888-11-06
Harrison a Winner.

Never were the running qualities Of
General Harrison more apparent than at
. the close Of the campaign Starting In
the contest with the great odds of Federal
patronage against him, the Indiana states
man has never broken once, but inch by
inch, he has crept up and passed his burly
rival. Unless something unforeseen hap
pens IN the next two weeks, Harrison will
win the Presidential stakes
1t IS the duty now Of Republicans to be
on their guard 10 prevent repeating and
other frauds against the ballot. SO that the
advantage which the party Of protection
now holds shall not be frittered away
through Republican neglect or Democratic
dishonesty.
General Harrison IS an inspiring leader.
He has done what few men could do, and
what the Democratic candidate did not
even dare to attempt. He has discussed
the Issues Of the campaign in speech after
speech and never made mistake The
Hoosier hero has fought q noble battle for
the cause Of continued Industrial pros
perlty IN the United States. He has
driven Democratic orators from one posi-
ton to ano,her, and has lifted UP to public
inspection the stainless shield Of an unas-
sailable character. No man has done
more to enlighten his countrymen on
the great issues OF the canvass. He has
been enphaticaly "a campaign Of intel
lect" No retaliation buncombe or cheap
electioneering lodges can be laid at his
door. He has been open and direct in all
his dealings with the American people

When General Harrison was nominated
at Chicago, his Indiana friends said he
would grow daily in popularity; and their
statement is abundantiy verified by the de-
veloprnents Of the campaign. Judge, the
comic illustrated paper, says in an editorial
on this subject: IL anybody knows of any
wiser, abler or more judieious speeches
than those Of General Harrison during
this campaign he had better find out the
author of them and 60 to work and manu-
faeture some himself The General has
spoken openly and frankly on every topic
belonging to the campaign, and has not
said word which he or his party, dying
or living, would wish 10 blot" That is a
great compliment; and it shows, if there
were no other evidence, that the Repubh-
can standard-beare is a great man. His
Judgment is as great IS his ability, and the
ability has never been called in question.
There IS new Lincoln in that strong. just,
able, fearless. discreet Indiana man, and, if
Democratic jingoism brings about new
crisis, he will be just the President for the
situation.

antu,nn For AppIrsng Manure.

To produce the best effect, manure must
be thoroughly Incorporated with the soil,
and not left il Jumps on the surface, nor
half buried in humps beneath the surface.
There are two ways of accomplishing this
result, SAYS The Country Gentleman. One
is to break it fine on the surface, and then
to mix it well on the top soil by narrowing,
and to turn the whole under if required.
But a more thorough intermixtnre or
incorporation with the soil Is effected when
the manure is spread in autumn, by the
washing of rains, which carry the soluble
parts down. It is therefore desirable to APP
ply and spread manure in autumn, so that
the rains can accomplish this purpose );
and next best is to spread it in winter, as it
is manufactured in the stable, ready for
the early spring rains As general
rule, surface mamring is better retained
on the surface by heavy or strong soil !;
and on light soils it is better to turn it m
der, or thoroughly intermix it.

Men are what their homes make them
of what their homes made of them in in
fancy and youth. That women make
homes has been sung and preached until
one reads with hearty satisfaction Colonel
Higginson's Introduction of an address de-
liyered last summer at the commencement
OF girls college. He had been adlured,
said the speaker, not to talk to students
and alumnae as women, but as human be
ings, to leave the matter Of sex in educa-
ton out Of sight for one hour The mascu-
line element is as essential to the right
composition of the home as lemon-juice to
the sugar and water of sherbet.
The household where there is not q
mans hat on the hall-rack is a craft minus
one sidewheel. The music of daily life
without the heavier, up-bearing timber of
a bass voice, is like the singing Of canaries,
very tuneful and very thin.
The domestic duties Of him who stands
in the place of pater-familias are not full
flied when he has supplied grist to the
mill. His wife may be the nominal cap
tain. lie is part owner and first mate.
If she is the acknowledged queen of the
realm he is the power behind the throne.
Which tumble of metaphors, done into
straightforward English, signifies that d
woman can not, single-handed, make
perfect home. 1t is q joint-stoek concern,
in which each individual Of the household
has share, the parents being the heaviest
owners and the board of directors Any
thing else is loosely-cohering association

convenience under one name, and held to-
gether by habit and poliey.-Home Maker.

BEER KINGS.
Men Wac Bsve Made Enormous Fortunes
Ont OF Lager.

| Ont GE Lager.
The thirsty drinker who exchanges a
simple nickel for the foanling goblet with
which the modern beer-seller serves his
! patrons, seldom realizes that he is contrib
| uting toward series of fortunes SO great
as to already attract public attention, and
to throw into the shade the smaller accu-
| mutations of the more esteemed vocations,
| writes the St. Louis Giobe- Democrats New
York correspondent. The past thirty years
have done much toward converting the
American people into beer-drinking
nation, and in doing so have added to the
list of millionaires the names Of at least
forty lager-beer brewers. Of these, the
pioneer is George Ehrct, a rugged, soil,
st0lid and methodical German. To-day he
IS worth many millions, yet thirty-fye
years ago he was poor boy knowing but
little Of the English language, and still
less Of business methods. His own descrip-
ton Of his career applies to that of nearly
al his rivals, and Is an interesting com
Iuentary upon the changes in American
habits IN the past three decades.
When | began business the lager beer
Industry was IN its infancy. It grew but
little at the outset, but received It's first
great impetus during the civil war. At
first we lost moHey through i'll luck.
We often advanced money 10 saloon
keepers to help them tide over their
troubles, and to secure ourselves, took q
chattel MORTGAGE or bill Of sale of the
saloon as collateral security for the loan.
Before long we found that there was con-
siderable profit in the practice, and ex-
tended It iG various ways. A customer
over whom you hold a mortgage cannot
defraud you Of any large amount, and
seldom viii change his custom to another
brewer. Iu some cases he was too crate
ful to do the latter; in others, too fear
ful that you would ioreclose without no.
tice; in still others, that he would get
into law or still further injure his credit.
At any rate he seldom changed his brewer.
The profit on beer being moderately large,
the brewer soon found that he could save
money by not charging interest on these
secured loans, especially when small. This
seems paradoxical until you remember that
a good customer who would pay his inter
est to a conservative brewer, could easily
borrow the amount of his debtand interest
from some rival brewer, who would gladly
foreg0 the interest ten times over for the
profit of their retailers custom. In this
wise these chattel mortgage loans soon be-
came Investments which paid 10 interest,
but secured profitable trade. They also
enabled the brewer to do something else.
When a debtor proved dishonest, drunken
or incapable they enabled the brewer to
foreclose, buy in the place and put it in
charge Of some ADLER man. There are
many places in New York and other cities
which nominally have belonged to a score
Of owners before they became successful in
the hands Of the last, and yet, practically,
all that time they were owned by one
brewer, who paid neither rent nor other
expense, and who above all, suffered little
or no loss, no matter how great the losses
Of his so-celled customers"

mr.. Barnum,s Offer.

P. 7. Barnum has made an offer which
Democrats who thoroughly believe in Mr..
Cleveland ought to be willing 10 take up
he says that if Mr. Cleveland is reelected,
and if the Democrats secure majority in
both houses of Congress, he win sell every
building and every inch Of property that he
OWLS in Bridgeport, Conn. for 25 per cent.
less than the present prices. That city is
Mr.. B2rnum's home, ard he owns hundreds
of houses there. But he believes that
Democratic success, giving the Democrats
control Of all branches of the Government,
would be so disastrous to business inter
ests that his property would depreciate
fully 25 per cent. in value Mr. Barnum
offers to put up fifty thousand dollars
az forfeit, and he offers any man
5000 who will find syndicate that VIII
agree to take his offer on the terms pro
posed. There is a chance for some enter
prising Democrats to make money, if their
confidence in the Democratic party is well
guarded. But we fear that none viii come
forward to claim the opportunity.
Every candid business EnEa knows tha:
the eject of Democratic success, with the
consequent assault upon gAe tariff, means
business disaster. Every man who can re-
member the condition Of business in the
large cities in 1857, after the revenue tariff
of 1845 will recall the industrial depres-
sion and distress that prevailed. Soup
houses were established TO feed the starV-
ing families of idle worsingmsa. There
wss general starvation in business, satl the
people had q suggestion of what would
happen if a general free trade programme
should be inaugurated Mr. Barnum
knows that if the Democratic party were
given the power it would move to
free trade just as fast as the needs Of
the Treasury would permit. So he makes
his offer, knowing that Democratic SUCCESS
means general distress. He made pre-
diction somewhat like this in 1884, but
the Republican Senate has saved the
country from the general disaster that
would have been the result had the Demo-
Gratis controlled both branches Of Con
