THEY ARE ORGANIZING.

We are gratified to know that the
GLOBES appeal to the Democrats of
Minnesota to organize has met with the
right kind of response from our local
Democracy. The Democrats of Ramsey
county were never in better fighting
trim than they are to-day. The county
committee has effected a superb Or
ganization, and the canvass is being
conducted with an spirit and enthusiasm
scarcely ever equaled and never sur
passed in this locality. The same is
true of the Hennepin county Demo-
Gratis. who are closing up in solid col
umn. and expect to poll at the coming
election the heaviest Democratic vote
that was ever cast in that county.
We hope that this spirit of organiza-
ton has become infectious, and is
spreading to all parts OF the state. We
wish to assure our Democratic friends
out in the country that they can depend
upon the Democrats of the Twin Cities
to perform their duty in this election.
LII Democrats throughout the state will
do as we'll, there will be the grandest
Democratic victory this fall OH record.
Again we say to you, get together, pull
together, and stay together.
Don't be demoraliZed by the fear that
the opposition will use Doodle. Let
them waste their money all they want
We are fighting for principle, and men
who are banded together on principle
are not purchasable. All we need is a
perfect organization, and that we can
have it every Democrat will conscien-
tiously perform his duty.
Do as we are doing.
Organize.

PICKED In THE STATE.

I. The Daily Short Line takes unfeigned
pleasure in mailing the name of Hon.
AlonZo j. Whiteman. of Duluth, the
Democratic nominee for congress in the
Fifth Minnesota district. to it's mast
head, believing that, if elected, he will
ably represent the whole district. ST.
Louis county will undoubtedly give Mr..
Whiteman magnificent majority,
which will be swelled to good proper
tons by the balance of the district
Duluth Short Line.
Mr. Donnelly urged the Alliance of
Dakota county not to nominate him for
state senator. He said he couldd't af-
ford it, that the session occupied the
very months when he is in demand as a
lecturer, that he made $4,000 last win
ter iecturing, and could do as we'll the
coming season. The convention then
voted. and either Donnelly has no in
fiuence around there,o else they under
stand around there that Ire means yes
when he says no, for they nominated
him. And then he arose and accepted
with thanks. That few of his own
nelghborS should thus wreck the pros
poets of the lecturer of Nininger is pitt
ful.-Red Wing Republican.
This week we place the Democratic
ticket at the head of our paper. 1t is a
good ticket and is composed of good
men. To vote it means to vote for the
principle of tariff reform. TO vote that
principle means better times. more
money for you. cheaper commodities,
better homes and the elevation of your
own condition. This is not mere wind,
it is fact, and If you will consider it
honestly you will come to that con-
clusion, if you have not already. Will
it not pay you to try it?-St. Peter

SEALS HIGHER

The New York Evening Post very
rightly warns the trade and the
public to hurry their laying in of
Sealskins and Sealskin Garments
for 1890-91.
Under the headline, '.Sealskins
Are Scarce" the Post says:
THE very limited catch of seals
this year has caused feeling of
CONSERVATION amongst furriers.
and many of them predict famine
in the Sealskin market in 1891. The
demand for garments and trim
mings made of this material is
steadily on the increase, but it is
difficult to see how it is to be met
next year by the available supply.v
interviewed upon this subject, the
head OF Ransom & Horizons Fur De,
partment states: 1--WE are doubt
less the largest holders of Seal
skins in bale, and Sealskin Gar
ments and articles made up, of any
retail fur store in this country.
We detected the upward movement
in fur goods, especially SeaIskins, a
long time back, and therefore
stocked up heavily before the real
squeeze in these goods happened;
and ladies are evidently ferreting
our good luck out, because our
orders are already twice what they
were this time last year."

CALIFORNIA CORK TREES.
The Forests There Are Already
Promising Large and Profitable
Production

Production.
The available forests of cork trees are
already relatively extensive, although
hardly sufficient to supply the demands
now made Oh them, OF which. as the
world grows in prosperity, must be
made on them, for there is hardly any
end to the uses for cork. and none of
the substitutes for it which have yet
been tried are very satisfactory or prom
Use to take its place to any great extent.
The latest estimates of existing areas
of available cork oak forests make their
extent from 100000 to 3.500,O00 acres.
of which about One-half, including those
OH its African possessions. belongs to
France. The wood of the cork oak is
heavy, croSS-grained, and of yellow
brown color; it shrinks and warps
badly in seasoning, and decays
rapidly when exposed to the
action of the atmosphere. 1t
has little value in the arts, but furnishes
useful fuel and makes good charcoal.
The inner bark is rich in tannin, and
trees too old or unfit to produce cork
are cut out for the sake of the inner
bark.
The cork oak is an interesting tree to
Americans, as its cultivation now seems
destined to become an important in
dustry in California. where the climate
and the soil i'll many parts of the state
are admirably suited to produce it.
This is not mere theory, but
trees have been growing now for several
years in California, and have already
produced crops of cork of excellent
quality. 1t is probable that the tree
will grow rather more rapidly i'm Cali
fOrnia than it does in its native country,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch, although
the quality of the soil, the exposure In
which the trees are placed. local climate
and the treatment which the trees re-
ceive will influence, of course. the ra-
pidity with which the bark is developed.

ELECTION REFORMS.

The last legislature of West Virginia
was Democratic, and naturally adopted
stringent measures to promote the purity
and integrity of elections. The commit
tees of the two parties have Just united
in an address to the voters specifying
the requirements of the law, and urging
strict compliance with its stringent pro-
visions. They pledge themselves to
unite in the prosecution of all violations
of the law. With such an act in this
state, to be relentlessly enforced. there
would be small inducement to look for
leading candidates in banks. One might
almost as well be born on farm. The
law allows no money to be used in CAM

A HOME ARGUMENT.

1t doesn't take long-headed man to
discover the expressions of the McKIN-
LEY law.
But it does take long -pursed man to
stand up under it.
All person has TO do to discover the
defects of the new tariff law is to settle
His grocer's bill,
His carpet bill,
His clothing bill;
And if he doesn't find out by that
time that the law is an oppressive one,
he hasn't sense enough to go to market.
The Republican organs say that the
retail merchants are playing a bluff
game on the MCKINLEY bill. This is
false, and they know it. The man who
pays the bills knows the falsity of it.
The retail merchant, who buys from the
iobber. knows its falsity. So does the
jobber, who buys from the importer.
And the importer has his custom house
bills to show that he has to pay more
for his goods than before the new law
went into operation.
The bluff is all being made by the
scoundrels who voted for this Ubiquitous
lobby measure. They are the fellows
who are trying to shield their rascality
by laying the blame on the retail mer-
chants.
The tax provisions are in the McKIN-
LEY bill, and the consumers have to
foot the additional charges.
This is a home argument that Tom
REEDS vaSsals can't get around.

1T REACHES THE HOME.

Ladies do not usually bother their

Germ to them. KATE FIELDS distressed

HOW THE FIGURES FOOT.

A streak of economy struck the Re-
publican managers just at the close of
the session of congress, and meritorious
measures like the st. Paul public build
ing and the adjusted million and quar-
ter dollars of the centennial French
spoliation claims had no show. The
showing was kept as small as possible,
in view of the election. The figures,
however, as given in the dispatches. are
not particularly of the emaciated order.
The appropriations of the first session
are footed at 1851, 311 sos, which, added
to the permanent annual appropriations
for the year, make an aggregate of
1852, 939, $50. This is in excess of the
appropriations of the last congress by
$40, 413,G13. The revenue the past
year was somewhat below $450.OOO,-
900. The object chiefly assigned for
the new tariff is to reduce the
revenue. 1t is uncertain just how far
the revenue will be decreased, but it
will be remembered that the estimate of
Senator ALLISON was S45, 100000. This
would cause deficit of S57,OOO.O0O in
place of the troublesome surplus that
the Republicans have so rapidly elimi-
mated. In many classes of manufactures
and products the tariff is designed to
greatly reduce, if not entirely cut off,
importations. These are in the vicinity
of 500, 100000 a year. 1t these figures
are not reduced one-fourth the tariff will
not fully meet the expectations of it's
friends, and higher barriers will be de-
manded. In the case of many of the
articles shut out, the protected manu-
features will have the entire monop-
oily. and the trusts will take what they
see fit. But whatever may be the
deficiency in the treasury, there
is another point that specially concerns
the producers and farmers. The i'm
ports and exports very nearly balance.
The agricultural products OF this coun-
try find markets abroad, and are paid
for in the manufactures or products of
the purchasers. 1t is matter of barter.
Foreign lands will look for their food
elements to those who want some of
the goods they have to exchange. The
exports will fall off if the imports are
shut out. The farmer will have fewer
instead of more markets for his wheat
and hogs. 1t is useless to try to find
more markets for American productions
while others are shut out from the mar
kets of this country

is sure of a caller within an hour. The
caller will turn out to be real estate
agent, and he will be followed by No. 2,
No. 5. No. 4, and so on, until the list is
exhausted. A Detroiter who recently
made trip to Washington territory
had no sooner registered at the hotel i'm

brief interview, and the interviewer be-
gan:
"You are probably seeking real es-
tate investment 90

sBut do. Go out and get me a ten
days option on the whole town, every
thing included, and, if not too high. iii

any others. They hadn't anything rich
enough for man who could buy the

RECIPROCITY AFTERMATH.

Occasionally it is insisted by protec-
ton organ that Mr.. BLAINE's statement
that the MCKINLEY tariff will not open
q new market Tor bushel of wheat or
barrel of pork should not be cited in
view of the reciprocity tag attached to
the bill. That is a deception andfraud.
Its not the proposition of Mr.. BLAINE,
and will be found worthless in practice,
ii not unconstitutional, as held by Ed
MUNDS, EvARTS and other Republican
senators who are recognized as strong
on constitutional points. The measure
adopted confers upon the president au-
fhority to restore the duties that have
been repealed upon tea, coffee and hides
that have long been OH the free list, and
The lmpoSt upon sugar now repealed. If
certain other governments do not con-
form their tariff laws to the views of the
president, he has the discretion to impose
duties by proclamation upon the pro-
ducts specified. Conceding that the
Legislative act can be delegated to the
president, and he may impose duty of
ten cents pound on tea, three cents on
coffee. aud 80 to 60 per cent. ad valOrem
on sugar, aggregating perhaps $50 OOO,-
600, does any one suppose that the presi-
dent, whoever he may be, will take such
tremendous responsibility? The tax
would all come out of the pockets of the
consumers. 1t would be retaliation
upon the people for the unfriendliness
of other nations. The reciprocity sup
ported by the Democrats and rejected
by the Republicans had in it possibilities
OF effecting Sohe good to the country.
although, as it was presented by
Senator HALE, it was limited to
the countries this side of the Atlantic.
1t instructed the president to admit free
"all the products of any country of the
American hemisphere that imposed no
duties upon long list of American g.
ricultural and manufactured products.
with the comprehensive conclusion of
''all other products of the United States. y
This was the original scheme of Mr..
BLAINE that he finally allowed to be
sacrificed to an ineffective compromise
Party lines were closely drawn between
the two measures. The Democrats would
have fair and equitable reciprocatiop
admitting raw materials free in exchange
ufacturer. The BLAINE scheme lacks
in breadth, and would almost entirel,
confine its advantages to the man
ufacturers of the East. His let
ter to the Lynn manufacturer shows
his appreciation of this fact. The
opening of the South American
ports would bring little increase OF
demand for the food products of the
American farmer. Those people down
there are not large consumers of the
better class of farm products. No great
demand for them can be created there.
Their trade would be valuable to the
mills of the East, but of trifiing concern
to the Western producer. They take
hardly S23.00O,00O of the agricultural
productions of this country, while the
European market last year absorbed
S42S, OPS, including cotton. The gist
of this MCKINLEY tariff reciprocity is
TO discourage the broadening of Et,-
ropean markets TO the farmer, shutting
