DRUMMERs IN POLITICS.

"Whlcheyer way the drummer talks
the election goes" has got to be a politi-
cal proverh in this country. And there
is great deal of truth in it. These
angels of commerce who fit about over
the land in such goodlv numbers usually
obtain pretty correct idea of popular
Senti ment, and are never slow to pro-
claim it. During the presidential cam
paign of 1883 prominent New York
politician declared that the most dis
couraging sign for the Democracy was
that the drummers were all talking for
HARRISON.
Accepting this as correct criterion
by which to de termine public senti-
ment, the Democracy have great en-
couragement this year. The CONNER
cial travellers are ali talking against the
tariff, and are predicting a sweeping
Democratic victory. This is reasonable,
for the MCKINLEY bill is all awful stroke
Oh all commercial interests. There is
not jobbing house in the whole coun-
try but is more or less damaged by it.
As a class the drummerS who travel for
the jobbers are brainy set of fellows,
bright, intelligent young men who are
capable of understanding the interests
of their peculiar line of business. They
know what hurts them and what bene-
fits them. They furthermore know what
is good for the country. They know
that the prosperity of the wholesale
houses depends on the prosperity of the
country merchants, and that the coun-
try merchants are dependent on the
prosperity of the farmers. When the
farmers suffer all classes of business
must languish. That is the history OF
all trade and commerce in this country.
Hence the hurtful influences of the
mckinley bill are too apparent for the
drummer to keep his mouth shut. He
has to talk, and he must talk against
the iniQuitouS measure. His conscience
couldn't be reconciled unless he did.
And as these brainy fellows, with the
gift of speech. invade every community
and mingle with the people. they make
campaign committee surprising in
power and influence those of the regu,
latiOn sort

WHICH?
Which shall it be?
A HO me Market or q Hnmp

Which shall it be?
A Ho me Market or a Home.
That is the way the tariff issue pre-
sents itself to the farmer with a mott
gage Oh his land.
The Republicans claim that the pur-
pose OF the MCKINLEY law is TO build
up home market. The claim is false
one; but granting it to be true for the
sake Of argument, how is the home
market to be built up?
1t is to be done by the sacrifice Of the
home.
There is not a farmer in Minnesota
with mortgage on his land but has
all he is able to carry under the most
prosperous conditions. By the utmost
thrift and economy he is now barely able
to meet expenses and to keep the in
terest on his mortgage paid up. But
here comes along the MCKINLEY bill
increasing the price of everything the
farmer has to buy and cheapening
everything he has to sell. By what sort
arithmetic can it be figured out that he
is to be benefited by the new tariff
law?
With every increase of his taxes, his
chances for paying off the mortgage on
his farm are lessened. The more it costs
him to operate his farm and to meet his
household expenses, the less of a sur
plus he will have to apply to the mort
gage. This is as plain as the nose Oh a
mans face.
Of what benefit. then. can it be to the
farmer to build up home market for
the products of the Eastern manufact-
urers when the process of building up
involves the loss of his home?
The man with wife and children de-
pendent Oh him for bread and shelter is
more interested in having home of his
own than he is in having hcme market
for the goods of the tariff barons.
The Republican party claims to be
the protector of home industries.
The Democratic party is the protector
of the home itself.
Which does the Minnesota voter pre-
fer?
The Home Market or the Home?

WILL HAVE THE WATER,

If South Dakota is not going to tol-
crate much of the sort of irrigation that
relates to the internal economy, it is
evidently going to find out what refresh
ment for its soil is to be had in the ele-
vation OF the vast undercurrents. TIE
County of which Huron is the capital is
to have artesian wells at once to water
$4,000 acres, and in Brown vote is to
be had Oh the question of sinking 200
wells. There is to be general move
ment i'll the counties of the James river
valley, and it is believed that next years
crops in an area Of 1,000 square miles
will test the claims made for the system.
There is hardly question that the
water supply will be found ample and
permanent. and the tests had show that
1t can be made to do the service desired.
Recent publications of geological au-
thorlties are believed to be conclusive
as to the practicability of the scheme.

Queer Antics Of a Young

Edward Rogers, who was arrested a
couple of weeks ago as a suspicious
character. and who on being searched
at the central station was found to have
a bad gun and kit OF burglars tools
in his possession, is found to be we'll
known and dangerous criminal. He
will probably be asked to vacate the
vicinity on his release from the work
house, whittier he was sent for carry
ing concealed weapons. When Rogers
was brought in he was observed to be
badly SCARED about the face, and the
presence of these marks on
his unprepossessing countenance is
now explained. Rogers was
an active member Of the notorious Bar
rett gang. and was in confinement at
the Hennepin county Jail when the at
tempt was made to break out by the
desperadoes confined there. 1t was
Rogers who led The revolt and he it was
who made the desperate fight with
Jailer Riley. In that fight he received
the scars which he will carry for life.
The jailer cut Rogers face all to pieces
with his keys. and the attempted de-
livery. as history shows, was unsuccess-
fui. Rogers is now a confirmed NOR
phine fiend.

TRUSTS ARE GROWING.

The st. Louis Republic complies from
It's files list of the trusts reported in
the dispatches as formed since the in
auguration of HARRISON. 1t would be
an extreme statement that these are all
due to the success of the Republican
party, but it is undeniable that the high
tariff policy is promotive of trusts, and
the pledge of continuance or increase
of this sort of protection has contributed
to the formation of combinations and
trusts. New lots of them are being
formed under the protection of the Nc
kINLEY tariff. The list made up fills
several columns and comprises in the
main articles in common use. In each
case the amount of protection given the
trust by the tariff is specified.
For instance, window glass. 1t en-
braces all the producers of this
glass in the country, and the
MCKINLEY tariff extends its foster
ing arm about it with DUTY of S1.5O on
81 OF value. This combination COM

duction last February, when prices were

act will give still larger opportunities
for enriching their participants out of
the dOcile public. The methods of this
trust are the common and familiar ones.
A tariff is procured to shut out danger
GUS competition from abroad; then any
who refuse to come into the deal are
bought out or crushed. The home mar
ket is then at their mercy. To obviate q
glut of goods many of the mills are kept
idle portions of the time and the
workmen deprived of employment.
In the case of this glass trust
most of the mills stopped are in the
West. This is explained by the fact
that the main control of the trusts is in
the East. II is asserted that the coming

MAY TIE UP THE SYSTEM.
Northwestern Trainmen Insist
Upon an Advance in Wages.

Upon an Advance in Wages.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-To-day it looked as
if crisis had been reached in the con-
ference between the special committee
of the engineers and firemen of the
Northwestern system and the officials
OF the road. An advance had been con-
ctded III the wages of engineers hand
ing mogul engines, but a refusal met
the committee on their request for the
adjustment of the classification system
extending for period over one year.
In the morning President Marvin
Hughitt sent for the committee, and re-
QueSted another conference in addition
to the long one brought to close last
evening. To-day's meeting lasted all
day, an adjournment being taken
for lunch. 1t was at this
stage that matters began assuming a
threatening aspect. Before the close of
the afternoon session, however, Pres.
ident Hughitt assured the men that to-
morrow morning settlement would be
reached that would undoubtedly prove
acceptable. The classification system to
which such strong objections have been
made, provides that a fireman, after
promotion to position as engineer,
after several years apprenticeship, shall
be clasSed as third rate engineer and
receive pay only about half that paid
other engineers. During dull seasons
the company, it is charged, takes
advantage of the system and
places second and ttird-class men
on its engines, thereby redue-
ing wages thousands of dollars annually.
1t was learned for the first time this
evening that the subcommittee, who
are holding the conference, is the su-
preme committee of the firenen and en-
gineers of the entire Northwestern sys-
tenn, its chairman, Herman Wits, of
Clinton, To-, being also chairman of the
general grievance committee. 1t has
the sole right to declare strike should
one be deemed necessary. Affiliated
with the engineers is the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, and the firemen are
members of the Federation of Railway
Employees, thus controlling the entire

census will show falling off in manu-

ent fact. These trusts have their grip
upon all the arteries of business lite.
and by the tremendous resources at
their command, control congress and
the agencies that are behind it. 1t is
not specially profitable to hurl denunci-
alton at the men who compose these
trusts. They are not different from the
average of people. They simply avail
themselves of the opportunities afforded
them by the Republican policy of cor
nering the market. The policy is iniq-
uitous, and should be overthrown. 1t

Young Wanderer.
Nettie Breen is in trouble again.
Nettie IS nutty, without a shadow of
doubt. A few weeks ago she was
brought into police headquarters, hav-
ing been found wandering aimlessly
about the streets by an officer. She told
a strange story of having run away from
her sister who lives in Dakota. She
was sent out to the city hospital and
discharged the next morning. Last
night some one threw brick through
the window of a clothing store on West
Third street. No one was in sight eX-
cept Nettie, and she was again
arrested. She denied having thrown
the brick, but was placed in a
cell pending the arrival of DR..
Ancker, who had been summoned. In
her lucid intervals the woman stated
that she had been twice committed to
Rochester, once from Mankato and
again from this city. She has also been
an inmate of the Northern hospital for
insane at Oshkosh.
The authorities of the latter institu-
ton were telegraphed last night by Dr.
Ancker, and reply from them is
awaited ere Miss Breen's future destin-
alton is determined on. She claims to
have sister residing In Fond du Lac.

batter of 1890. 1t was thought towards
the end of the season that Orr, of Brook

IN the lead, with Browning a close third.
This impression seems to have been
wrong. The official figures will show
that not only Browning leads. but leads
