Harness Making.
/. P. GILMAN.


The improvements made in the
construction of horse gearing within
the last few years are very notice
able, and comparing the harness of
to day with their many advantages,
with those of the past, we find they
afford more ease and comfort and
ara in conseqr eace greater help both
to the horses and those having them
in hand. They also present a much
heater appearance then the clumsy
affairs of the olden time. Not many
years ago the goods manufact-
ured in England ranked higher in
the markets of the world than those
of other nations, but now America
takes the lead. The English harness
being just the opposite of our own
they are heavy and cumbersome.
The Oldest harness shop i'll Alma,
and one of the representative estab-
lishments of the kind in the county,
is that of |. u. Gilman, on Superior
street west. Mr.. Gilman is a first
class harness maker of long exper-
fence. He has been in Alma many
years and by conducting strictly
honest and honorable business, sell
ling goods at low figures and placing
before his customers good honest
work, he has made his shop favor
ably known and well patronized by
farmers and horsemen.
There is a neat salesroom in the
front and a good workshop in the
rear. In the salesroom may be
found stock of light and heavy har-
ness all made of Oak-tanned leather
and trimmed III styles TO suit the
tastes of the different customers
with horse furnishing goods gener-
ally. These harnesses are mostly
hand made and are gotten up in a
style combining good appearance
and durability.
The work manship exhibited re-
fleet great credit upon the maker.
In selling his work Mr.. Gilman
does so with the conviction that it
will be found to be what he repre-
tents it to be and it is this fact fully
accredited by his customers that has
made his goods popular with the
masses.
Here also may be found brides,
halters, collars of different kinds,
harness pads, blankets, robes, fly
nets, names, curry combs, brushes,
harness oils, backing etc.
Particular attention paid to re-
pairing.
We do not speak further of these
goods nor of Mr.. Gillman's methods
of doing business, for the farmers
of the county and others know him
to be honorable and fair in deal and
kind and courteous in his treatment
of all with whom he has any bust
ness relations.

convention, has returned, disguised

appointed by Gov. MelletJe in 1889. and

And now it seems that Davis is him

All that is required for Senator Davis

Throughout the state, and especially
among the farmers, strong feeling
against Gov. Merriam has arisen. Men
who have been prominent in the coun-
sells of the Republican party for many
years state that Gov. Merriam must not
be renominated. if he is, the party will
be doomed to defeat.-Little Falls Her

Loren Fletcher thinks it would be
poetic justice to defeat Merriam's NOM
ination next year with McGill. Polit-
ical Justice from his own standpoint
was what Mr.. Fletcher had in mild,
but his innate mOdeSty (?l kept him
from saying so. Loren is farmer, not
a politician. now, and his reading of
VirgiI'S bucOlicS suggested the poetic
allusion. Could it have been the story
of the beeS?-Verndale Journal.
Gov. Merriam is having hard row to
hoe along about this time. If he APP
points a friend TO Office, he is con-
demned as he also is if he does not. He
is heartily condemned for not pardon

hard if he does exercise his power in
that direction. If he goes to country

DEMOCRATS ARE TOGETHER.


1t is a source of qualification to tariff
reformers all over the country that the
Democrats of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Virginia have stuck so Loyalty to their
party faith in the state campaigns of
this year, and are fighting so valiantly
under the tariff reform flag which was
unfurled at st. Louis last summer. A
tariff campaign must. of necessity, be
an educational one. The Ohio and
PENNSYLVANIA Democrats may not win
victories this year, yet they are keep
ing the great issue before the public,
and are doing noble missionary work
for the campaign of 1892. The Demo
cratic party is no longer open to the
charge of occupying an uncertain or
vacillating position on the tariff. When
Mr.. CLEVELAND planted the banner of
tariff reform in his celebrated message
to congress, the Democratic party raj
lied around the standard, and have been
standing Loyalty to their colors ever
since. They were not a whit dis
couraged by defeat in the last
election, as is demonstrated by
the advanced position on the tariff
question the party has taken in
the various states where elections are
to be held this year. Nor have they
reason to be discouraged. There is
many man who voted the Republican
ticket last fall who went home from the
polls to regret it. During the last six
months great many Republican bust
ness men, who voted for HARRISON last
November, have come to see the folly of
supporting party that is pledged to
making raw materials dear. New Eng
land manufacturers now say that unless
they can buy raw materials at a cheaper
rate they see nothing but disaster for
the future in their business. That is
what the Democrats told them last year,
but they didn't see it then. The scales
have since fallen from their eyes. and if
the presidential election we're to take
place next November, instead of last,
tariff reform would be an established
fact. Thus the Democrats are encour-
aged to keep up their educational cam
paign. The common sense of the peO-
pie may be blinded for while, but in
the long run the crooked things are
Strengthened out.

MINNEAPOLIS.
FOR "A MINERS EXCHANGE.
Steps Taken Toward Such an Orr
ganiZation Here.

Something over twenty solid citizens who
are more or less interested in Northwestern
mining stocks met in the rooms OF the North
western Permanent exhibit in the Boston
block yesterday afternoon, to discuss the adj
visibility OF organizing a miners exchange
in Minneapolis. r, j. Baldwin was elected
chairman, and j. Russell Jones secretary.
Il. l.. Pratt Samuel W. Hale, NJ. H. Day and
several others spoke in favor of the project,
and all seemed to think that the multifarious
mining interests of Montana, Dakota and
Northern Minnesota should be made
to contribute to the commercial life
and wealth of Minneapolis while
be of undoubted value to the owners Of mines
in the great Northwest.
R. j. Baldwin explained somewhat the adj
vantages of such an organization. He said
hat no stocks were admitted for sale on tina
exchange until the mining enterprise they
represented had been fully investigated and
approved by competent committee OF ex'
perts. This gives the public confidence in
all stocks sold on change, and is also OF i'm
mense advantage to honest mine owners,
Weedlng out as it does the thousand-and-one
wildcat schemes that would otherwise be
sprung upon investors MI Baldwin pictured
a very bright future for the iron industry in
the rich regions of Northern Minnesota.
He, as we'll as others, realized the fact that
some Minnesota city was sure to become
center for the mining interest of the North
west and that very soon, and he thought the
business men of Minneapolis would do we'll
to take time by the forelock and get the thing
started at once.
On motion of R. l.. Pratt a committee of
seven to decide upon form Of organization
and report at another meeting to be held at
the same place one week from yesterday.
me committee consists of r. j. Baldwin
James w. Griffin, J. Russell James, 4. f,
