A trader who tries to overreach his Indian

was apportoned TO each man, woman and
child the father of a family tried to make

between the agent and an Indian, rs the RED

In some unknown region Of the New World,

have been TO adopt the usual solanaceous
tactics of poisoning these its obtrusive friends

have recourse to such mean strategy. Hard
pressed by herbivores in the struggle for ex-

And what is the tuber, which natural Sc

but an underground branch, bearing buds and

know as eyes, and capable Of doing all the

tuber, viewed as a branch, sums itself up in
two cardinal points. First, it happens to de

Of existence In woody shrubs and trees the
material laid up by the individual to provide

PROVIDENCE sends out news Of another
great failure. This is not Providence

interest Of the people to overthrow the
false theory Of prot, t,ctionism" but
Providence, Rhode Island 1t is true,
however, that an all wise Providence
seems to be guiding the people, by costly
lessons of experience to the knowledge
that taxation, no matter under
what guise it is levied, cannot increase
wealth; that wages increased by tax
alton is merely robbng Peter to pay
Paul that trade must be governed by
fixed laws of supply and demand; that an
attempt to divert and restrict trade must
be harmful from the nature Of the case.
The great failure announced to day is the
Wauregan cotton mills and the amount
involved is variously stated at from
81, 500. 600 to $4,000 900 The Republi-
cans cannot be held responsible for all Of
these failures and financial disasters, but
they are responsible for misleading
ignorant worlyingmen with false promises
of prosperity. The Harrison and
Plenty campaign cry was. a
lie, The Republicans should have
known better than to assert that ''prot.c-
tion meant beef steal" and that the
election Of Harrison would promote the
prosperity Of the country. Providence

be reredos of carved stone or wood OF a

THERE is an intense rivalry between
the self booming cities Minneapolis and

by one is an occasion for the other to go
wild because of the sudden increase Of
population. Minneapolis has gone
through the pangs and has brought forth
list Of names which multiplying by the
proper figure she is enabled to aceredit
herself with population Of 232, 900, The
st. Paul Dispatch started an investigation
of the crookedness in this directory and
found one entry as follows;
Baxter, Carl, (colored) watchman,

Thereupon the reporter went Co the
Crescent Club, interviewed its steward,
Mr. w H Baxter, and was introduced

the St, Paul Dispatch charges that the

has been stuffed with the names of non

no chance Of breaking the Solid South.
They do not attempt it in an honest or

with the worst examples Of dishonest
demagogy that exist in the South. Now
they are making an effort to foster a

is against the interest of the South. Iron,
coal lumber, cotton, do not need protec

a market They do not need foreign
