That triune Of political spirits now
spasmodically prominent in Minnesota
politics seems to have wonderful
likeness of feather. The people of
Blue Earth, Waseca and Nicollet coun.
ties are still wearing Grape for the loss
of a railroad which promised them
wonderfully increased commercial ac-
tivitY. This is especially true of Man
kato. At the time Senator Window
was foully sold out of reelection, and
a Saltwater capitalist, Sabin, elected to
that responsible position, the same
triune was found clucking on the same
nest Now in this year of our lord,
1890, they are again working, cheek
by jowl, to win a little political prefer
ment by the most rantankerous job
berry ever witnessedin Minnesota pol
itics. Does anyone need to be told
who this triune is composed of We
will just spell the names and let the
reader do his own pronouncing,
James III. Baker, Willis am M.
Campbell and Charles Gil
man. Baker running for congress.
Campbell, Chairman Of the Democratic
state committee and converting the
state TO Bakers use. Gilman boiling
the party in the Fifth district and spend
ing part of his time in St. Paul at
Campbell 5 headquarters directing oper-
atlons for Baker and Campbell. Don t
it beat all how this aged combination
tumbles together when they have q
mutual job on deck? Poor Wilkin-
son fell from grace through their
manipulation and threw the Demo-
cratic party in his district into a
most dismal chaos, and the triune look
upon the ruin with the coolness of from
tier banditti. But the octopus is ying.
The angels are calling in the distance,
the death pallor is speading over its
cheek, and the death stare is apparent
in its eyes. Draw back and let the sol
emnity of the occasion remain undis-
turbed. The weeping will begin at the
ides of November, when the tears will
be caught in ballot boxes. Au reyoir,
triune. Mankato Register.

over twenty thousand pieces.
OF these the greater portion either
are not called for at the post Office to
which they are addressed, or the ad-
dresses cannot be found.
Matter sent to the dead letter Office,
is required to be opened for the pur-
pose of leturn to the sender, and if the

contains no valuable inclosure, it must
be destroyed.

The same feeling prevails here largely

people of the country at large, owing.
to the change of the tariff. may suffer
from the chicanery of dealers in va
rious lines of goods. It has already
been learned here that many dealers
have advanced the price of goods which
are in no way affected by the present
tariff schedules. This advance is upon
lines Of goods that have rot been i'm
ported into this country in many years,
and which, even if free, would not
cheaper the rates at all. These same
dealers take advantage of the tariff to
advance far beyond proportion even
those classes of goods which are ad-
vanced in the Mckinley bill.
1t is learned that an advance has
been made in the matter Of tin ware
and that the consumers have been CON-
PEELED to pay 5, 10 and Is cents more
for an article than they did before the
new tariff went into effect. The excuse
given in all cases by dealers is that un-
der the present high rates it is impossi-
BILE to sell at the old prices. This is
dishonest and can only be worked
where people are in ignorance of the
provisions of the law.
In the first place, the present duty
on tin is maintained until July 1, 1891,
when the new rate, advancing IL cents
per pound, will become operative.
Even this advance does not necessarily
imply that there should be an advance
in tin pals, pans or other articles of
domestic use of $40 or Is cents piece.
This is only one instance, but there are
hundreds of other cases where prices
will be advanced, and the consumer
who is not familiar with the law viii,
be compelled to contribute to the re-
tail dealer.
The actual advances under the new
tariff law in various lines of goods will
be. made by the wholesalers and import
ers, There may be slight advance in
manufactured goods. but this will be made
by the wholesalers, and the retailers in
turn will advance their rates accord
ingly if they are honest. If not they
will take advantage of the fact that
their customers are uninformed, and, in
putting up the prices. will attribute it
to the tariff bill.
Retail dealers have also taken adj
vantage of the pros pective passage of
the tariff bill and made large purchases
of imported goods affected by the meas
ure. The very day that the bill went
into effect these retailers advanced the
price of these articles and alleged that
the new tariff law made it necessary
1t is simply case where they have
taken advantage of conditions and will
be able to make profit, and for which
the consumers will be obliged to pay.
Until the actual provisions of the new
tariff law are ascertained it is probable
that many consumers will suffer through
the dishonesty of the retail dealers.
This, however, will not extend to those
tradesmen who are honest with sheir
customers and who do not take an un-
fair advantage of the changes in the
laws regulating commerce and trade.

The fallacy of such statements as are
seen in print nearly every day, that pri-
ees on nearly everything are rising IN
consequence of the Mckinley bill, is
shown by the claim that there is rise
in tin. The tin schedule will not go
into effect until next July. They also
tell US that shotguns have gone up, and
yet shotguns are on the free list. And
SO on with many other articles. It's
all q scheme Of the jobbers and whole
sale dealers to get rid Of goods alta
good price. In other words it is taking
advantage Of the peoples ignorance Of
the rates in the bill to help ones bnsi-
ness.

The Proposed Treaty Negotiations.
Mr.. EDITOR: In reading the Bulle-
tins report this evening of the
meeting of the Cabinet with mem
bers of the Legislature and CAPT
talists to discuss over proposed ne
gotiations for a revision of the re-
ciprocity treaty, my attention was
forcibly called to the apparently
ill-natured remarks of Mr.. T. H.
Davies, in response to a statement
made by Mr. J. B. Atherton, regard
ing conversations he had with gen
tlemen on his trip from San Fran
cisco to Boston: MIR. Atherton's re.
marks were quite pertinent, and
were no doubt intended simply to
show the feeling of the people OF
the United States (as far as his OBJ
servation VENT regarding annexa-
ton. 1t has been openly stated in
some Of the native newspapers and
by those unfriendly to the treaty,
that the United States was anxious
to absorb the islands, and was only
waiting for favorable opportunity.
MIR. Atherton, in expressing himself
as opposed to annexation, simply
stated the result of his observation
while travelling in the United States,
and why Mr.. T. III. Davies should
make the statement that he
was not prepared to discuss
the treaty at present, especially if
they were to import into the discus
sion Mr.. Atherton's conversations
from San Francisco to Boston,
would seem.to imply that he failed
to comprehend the gravity of the
subject, which the gentlemen pres
ent had been called together to dis
cuss. The prosperity of this coun.
try depends largely, if not entirely
on our friendly relations with the
United States, and while we are not
surprised to see men like Bush and
Wilcox, unfriendly to an attempt to
cement any closer commercial rela-
tons with Cur great neighbor, We
certainly do not expect to find so
prominent man as Mr.. T. III. Da.
vies throwing cold water, on any at
tempt to better our commercial rela-
tions. HAWAIIAN.

the permanent prosperity of free
labor to this country.

We have touched but lightly on
the moral aspects Of treaty connec-
ton with America. Our discussion
hitherto has been confined almost
exclusively to the financial side of
the case, to the side which unfor-
tunately touches and moves the ma
jority Of US more than any higher
considerations can ever do. We are
not entitled however to leave these
considerations out of account. How
ever we ignore them they ought none
the less to be controlling. What con-
nection is likely to make for civiliza-
ton and its complex interests in this
little Kingdom? The efforts to estab-
lish such a civilization here have been
scattered, few in number, and little
availing. It is safe to say that no
civilization will flourish in country
where the greater portion of the
work is done by cheap labor. All
that such a country could ever de-
velop would be a small class of
wealthy and perhaps highly cult
waited aristocrats at the top Of So
ciety. All the rest would be bar
barian. There would be no middle
class, no body of intelligent artizans
This is surely what we are drifting
to, and we will finally reach, unless
we are wise in time and commit our
selves commercially to the United
States. Unless we become what we
virtually are already, part of the
American commercial system, we
shall eventually have to raise sugar
on the same terms as the other sugar
producing countries of the world
and that means, either loss of the
$50, 100000 invested in plantations
or coolie labor. Either alternative
would be fatal both to the laboring
man and to our civilization gener
ally Planters can look to this
future with callous Indifference
They can employ Chinese to work
their plantations, and spend thei1
princely incomes in Europe. The
white laborers have no such agree
able alternative. They are threat
ened with extinction. The expert
ence of other countries in our situa
ton proves that. The Intelligent
laborers Of this Kingdom ought tt
avert these threatening possibilities
and one way to do it is to seek closer
commercial connection with thai
Paradise of the free laborer-tht
American Union.

SDAY, (: APRIL 2, 1890
TREATY MATTERS.

When the first serious news came
from the Coast relative to the pos
sible removal of the duty on sugar,
the Bulletin congratulated the coun-
try on having defeated the Minister
iai attempt to tie us to the United
States and make it impossible to
treat with other powers. We pass
over the false assumption that the
proposed treaty affected our power
to treat with other governments, in
order to come the quicker to the par
ticular inquiry as to what salvation
the Bulletin thinks treaty with
some other power will assure us. Of
course If, whenever we lose the bene-
tit of tariff and treaty, all we have to
do is to negotiate a treaty with Eng
land or Portugal, or China, and if
this will be enough to make frowning
fortune smile blandly again, we may
cease to bother about the Treaty and
the Tariff, we can abuse the United
States at our ease.
The Treaty is pre- eminently a
practical matter and one of general
concern. 1t is exceedingly desirable
In such case not to divide on mere
party lines. We certainly are anxi-
GUS not to draw it into the range of
the average newspaper squabble.
We are ourselves aware of but one
contract which we could enter into
with any foreign power which could
avert the consequences of sugar
collapse. The only treaty would be
one with China or England to enable
us to flood the country with coolies.
The Bulletin is supposed to be a
popular paper, the workingman's
paper. Surely in this capacity it
must deplore the resort to such labor
as this. It must desire to do every
thing in its power to avert such
catastrophe to the workmen. For
ourselves we prefer to draw closer
the commercial tie with the United
States, as the best means of insuring

v. VIC. T.U. Social.

When the Y. w. G. T. U. announces a
social you can generally depend on it
being something out of the usual way.
Yesterday, as many people were pro-
badly aware, was All FOOLS day, and
this was considered by the young ladies
to be good opportunity to hold social.
1t came off in the evening at the Y. M.
C. A. Hall, and there was quite large
attendance, consequently the funds OF
the Union will be considerably increased.
The proceedings opened with trio on
the piano by three young ladies'. Mrs.
Barto gave recitation that pleased inn
mensely. Master Harry Rycroft caused
great amusement He came on the plat
form in evening dress and looked like a
French opera singer. MIR. A. ID. Blssell
played an elaborate compartment on
the piano, while Harry made motions as
if he were singing grand aria, but not
sound came forth. He was encored fol
his efforts and again went through the
same performance The LIST of April had
evidently struck Mr.. Bissell, for he made
any number of D.otions at the piano, but
there was no music. The last number
on the programme was announced as a
string quartette. A curtain was drawn
on one side displaying four string in
struments the tops of which were COW
cred with painted faces.
Refreshments were then served and
the fun began. There was Secretary
Fuller biting at a cake stuffed with
leather shoe laces, while another gentle
man encountered cotton in a doughnut
A pleasant looking waiter went around
with a pyramid of macaroons. A lady
took one from the top when the remain
der followed it. They were all strung
together. 1t was the same way with
other things. Everyone present enjoyed
themselves very much indeed.
