EVIDENTLY Rev. Patterson is not thor
oughly posted on what constitutes an
admirably governed city, or else he has
lived in places that had mighty ordin-
airy Mayors. Without saying anything
harsh against Mr.. Pau, it is the popular
impression that, while a good lawyer
and successful pleader, he possesses DO
especial qualifications for the Office OF
Mayor, and that many of his public
duties have been subordinated to politi.
cal deals. AS he is now before the PEG.
pie for the very important Office of State
Senator, the voter should ponder well
the elements in a candidates makeup
essential to the requirements of the de.
mands which will be made upon him in
the framing oflaws and the honest re-
presentation of his constituency.

THE Democratic committee of the
Second district called to meet in Man
kato Tuesday afternoond did notmaterial-
ize in numbers sufficient to make q
quorum. Those present, however, did
not take kindly to Wilklnson's with.
drawal and declined to put Baker on the
ticket. Neither did they name anyone
to fill the vacancy. In the first instance
the committee acted wisely; in the Sec
ond they accepted the only alternative.
They refused to betray the confidence
placed in them by the Democratic party
by putting Baker on tine ticket, and no
desirable candidate could be found at
this time who would accept. Through
the meddlesome interference, therefore,
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, the Democrats of the Second
district are without a candidate for Con-
gress. A large number of the party
members " i'll vote their ticket blank on
this Office, while those who do fill the
vacancy VIII be about equally divided
between Lind and Baker. The outlook
gives 1attering evidence that Lind will
have fully l2,0O0majority in the district.

WHERE THE FARMER IS BEING
PLUNGED.

Democratic papers and demagogic
speakers, speakers for revenue only and
renegades of the Baker stripe are food
ing Minnesota to-day with all kinds OF
misrepresentation about the Mckinley
tariff bill and the poverty-stricken con-
dition of the farming community. Great
stress is laid upon the tariff on tin and
Baker tells the farmer that this is q
system of robbery which will take
thousands of dollars from their peck
cts, when the fact is the man
who contributes one dollar toward Gen.
eral Jim's campaign drops more cold
cash into a bottomless hole than it would
cost him to aid in the upbuilding
of a great tin industry in this country in
five years.
Has the average farmer stopped to
consider his condition to-day as com
pared with one year ago? Has he re-
f1ected over the fact that everything he
sells is worth in the market to-day from
% to 116 per cent. more than 1t was this
day one year ago? AS a comparison Of
the staple products of the farm we quote
the market Of Oct. 18th, 1889 and that o.
to-day:

ACCUMULATIVE EVIDENCE.

The motive behind the much talked
of advance in merchandise is plainly
evident. Our m, chants are receiving
notices daily from jobbers, anticipating
thegrise in goods, but they.invar1ably i'm
press upon the retailer that orders will
be filled if sent In now at the old prices.
What does this men? 1t is evidence
undeniable that these spectators want
to unload themselves and dump an un-
warranted stock of goods upon local
dealers. They know that the cry now
being raised of the advance in goods is
not we'll founded; that it is more for
speculative and political effect than any
thing else. One of our prominent mer-
chants advertises to-day that he will
sell all classes Of goods, including car
pets, at prices as low as ever, and in
many instances lower than the same
goods have ever before beensold for,
and all others will do the same. The
statement made in the Review that Sin
mems wear, suits which cost from $50 to
$40 haye had from $40 to SIS added to
the price, was either a willful misrep-
resentation or else an expression of ig-
norance. The fact is that a suit worth
$50 or $40 made of imported goods
brought in under the new tariff bill
would not exceed three or four dollars,
while clothing of all kinds is selling at as
low or a lower price to-day than ever
before.
The Democrats need to get something
ore tangible to howl about if they ex-
pect to frighten Republican voters.
Their arguments won't stand investiga-
ton.

The Tariff Question

Has been the theme of political discus

campaign. protection" "free trade"

simply votes the ticket his father did.
The tariff on wool, salt, sugar, silks, cof-

may be too high or may be too low, but
one thing the public is agreed, and that
is. that considering the luxurious accom-

THE ~dyspeptic old fossil of the Review,

after a stereotyped and copper worn
abuse of the editor of the FREE PRESS.
proceeds to rehash a few items furnish
ed it's columns by the Free Trade
League, in an endeavor to prove the
Mckinley tariff a blow to the country.
The matter is furnished its %stereotyped
plates by importers and jobbers who,
as everyone knows, have advanced pri-
ces without justification by the McKin-
ley bill, and they pay this Free Trade
League round sums to decry the meas
ure for the purpose of covering up their
W robber methods and if possible to
create a wrong and unfayorable impress
sion in the hope that free trade may
more speedily follow. Does any sensi-
bic man, any reading man, any man
who thinks for himself, believe that the
Mckinley bill has yet had a fair and
impartial trial? Is there a man who is
honest with himself that believes a
measure, which treats with such wide
and varied interests as does the tariff.
can be properly judged and impartially
criticised when it has been a law but
seven days? No, indeed. ALI this howl
is but the outpourings of free trade
spectators. ~demagogues and chronic
Office seekers. When the greatest
minds Of this country prepare and pre-.
sent to the American people a revision
of the tariff, and by a party whose rec
ord stands as a living to
American liberty and the friend of the
oppressed of every nation who seek
shelter under the stars and stripes,
it is left for obstructionists of American
progress, degraders of American labor
and enemies of American manufacture
ers, to %denounce it as something sure to
bring the country to the demnition bow
vows. What hypocrisy; what glaring
idiocy is all this. When a country
whangdoodle like Wise, who knows no
more about the Mckinley bill than he
does about farming, and no more about
that than he does about the hardships
of the men who took up arms In defense
OF the country while he stayed,at home
and penned rebel editorials about Lin
coin hirelings," pesumes to d~enounce
something that men of brains and hon.
esty have prepared for what they con-
scIentiously believe to be for the best
interests of the whole country, he m
mediately makes of himself the laugh
ing stock for reasoning men. The tariff
bill should at least be allowed the usu-
al commercial 30 days limit before it is
discounted.

Dress fannels which sold at go cents
year ago can be bought to-day for 81
cents, a reduction of over l63 per cent
and we are told by one of the hes
merchants in Minnesota that many ar
ticles of dry goods In every day use car
be bought at from 5 to 12s per cent
cheaper nowthanthey could at this time
in 1889.
Thus it is, that while the farmer il
receiving from 25 TO 100 per cent. ad'
vance on his products this year over las'
he can buy almost every article be uses
at the same or a less price. Where il
this so-called robbery? It does not re.
quire a mathematician TO figure Out
these Democratic stump orators and
organs as unadorned liare.
All, but they say, prices wiN advance
Possibly this may be true in certain in
stances and on certain articles. If
man or woman wants to wear foreign
made goods let him or her pay the premi
um demanded. If he or she feels like
maintaining foreign manufacturers nc
fault should be found. American made
goods answer the purposes of the aver
age American.
But look a little further. The farmer
can buy IA pounds of sugar to-day
whereas he only got II or II one yeal
ago. Illuminating oil is II cents pei
gallon now, when it was selling at Il
cents twelve months since. There is nc
difference in the price of tea and coffee
Boots and shoes can be bought the
same. In a word, everybody can live
as .cheaply now as in 1889, while the
farmer is getting better prices than fol-
years. There is no occasion for this
bowling and unwarranted yelping. II
a merchant charges you more for the
articles herein enumerated than he did
one year ago, let the FREE PRESS know
it, and you shall be undecefved. In
the meantime vote the Republican tick
ct and thus aid IN continuing the pres,
ent era of good times.

DRY-GOODS SALARIES.

buyers who Earn Rs MucI, as the PresiA
dent of the United States.
'Tt is not generally known" said Mr..
c. H. Worth, OF II. H. Clafin & Co., a
few days ago, "that some of the highest
salaries arc paid in our business. We
are often accused of paying starvation
wages to our clerks by people who never
look at the expense entailed in running
an establishment Take the buyers,
for instance. There are firms in this
city who pay men from $4,000 to $780,
900 a year for simply being able to tell
threo-quarters OF a year in advance
what the fashion is going to be. Ono
gentleman, who buys for wholesale
house on Broadway, is said to earn $780,
600 year.
DRY goods-houses are noted for pay
ing low wages to their clerks, because
the supply Of clerks is SO abundant In
some of the smaller stores the pay runs
MS low as So a week, But tho buyer on
whose Judgment the sale OF next years
fabrics depends gets half as much as
the President Of the United States. The
smallest and some of the largest sala-
ries are paid in the dry-goods busi-
moss"
"IIow does tho buyer for the house
distinguish in advance what the fashion
for next year Is to be?"
"Ah, that is where 1t requires wide
awake man. He must watch the grow
ing tendencies among the firms richest
and most fashionable customers at homo
and abroad. Whatever has become
popular among them will make its way
among tho masses, and this tide the
house must catch and swim along with it..
"In Europe textile manufacturers
make few goods except on orders. The
buyer for firm must decide what his
house can sell next season, and order
his supplies of cloth made in advance.
A serious mistake might be sufficient to
bankrupt the firm, by leaving them
with n stock on hand Of unstable goods,
the patterns not being TO the liking Of
the firms customers. So you can easily
see why skillful buyer can command
his own price.
GLOW do you select man for such
position?'
Nothing less than kind Of intuition
is demanded for such place. In addi-
tion, the buyer must estimate what
amount his employer can sell OF given
style OF goods. II he Uverstocks tho
firm, then they arc left with old-fash-
ioned articles on hand which they must
resort to tho 'bargain-countcr' devices
to got rid Of at n severe loss. IN. Y.
