Another Government Warehouse Needed.
We desire to suggest the necessity
for a kind Of government warehouse
not contemplated in the sub-troasury
plan approved at our st, Louis meet
ing. There is a vast aud almost un-
limited amount Of sympathy at pres
ent being wasted on the farmer, and
the Farmers Alliance. II this could
be economized and stored for future
use it might be servicablo in time to
come. We suggest the establishment
of government warehouses for the stor-
age Of the surplus against a time Of
need. It is possible a portion Of il
might be ground over and dealt out
10 our political friends after the fall
elections.

There is in the city OF Washington,

does the man stationed before the

Of Daniel in the lions den; "Right
this way ladies and gentlemen TO see

tinguished from the lion by having
the green cotton umbrella under his

is the significance Of tho showman's
picture, but il is almost as much Of
caricNture upon real art. Indeed the
removal of this structure was urged
some years ago by Mr. 0. B. Froth-
ingham in the Atlantic Monthly on
the grounds OF It's inartistic character
and because il was meaningless, and
obstructed the view from the capital

A Gigantic Trust.

Morehead News: The News has
heretofore made reference to some OF
the measures demanded of congress
by the Farmers Alliance as crude and
~undeserving of support. Perhaps the
measure that is most subject of severe
criticism is that called the sub-trea-
sury scheme which requires the gov
eminent to establish and build in each
county in the agricultural states ware
houses in which the producer may
store his grain and other agricultural
products and borrow such amount OF
money thereon as he may desire, not
to exceed a certain limit to be fixed,
at interest at the rate of two per cent
per annum, which would enable him
to hold his grain until the price should
go up high enough to satisfy him.
In short the plan involves the most
stupendous trust that has ever been
conceived by man, and the govern
ment ofthe UnitedStates is to be made
! a partner in it. Think of it. The
farmers, under the scheme a pile
up the food products of the country,
be supplied with money freely for
their own uses, and put all the rest of
the people absolutely in their power
for food. The price ofwheat could be
run up to $50 or $500 per bushel or
as high as people could be made to
pay rather than starve.
The farmers have denounced class
Legislation and with reason. 1t is vic
ious and unequal in its effects and
should be avoided entirely. But new
er has there been anything that could
approach the ~sub-treasury scheu g
that is proposed by the farmers and
endorsed by them in the national COM
vention. We cannot think otherwise
than that the honest, conservative
and patriotic farmers OF the land will
reject this proposition and that never
will a majority of the voters of the
country be won over to the support of
the measure. 1t has been brought
toward by the agitators and dema-
gogues who hope to ride into prom
inence and power through the farm
ers and to look to their W interests
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT first and to the
welfare of the farmers and the coun-
try secondly or not at all.
The farmers need legislation that
will Tighten their burthens, chief
among which would be a reduction of
taxation and especially local taxation.

In regards to the state university

"You know that we have got a great
educational institution in this state
known as the state university. In
the last few years a department has
been built up, known as the agricul

wonder. Every university in the

nearly as many students as the uni

The remarkable display of yirtuou

The remarkable display of virtuous
indignation by old England over the
reported intimacy of Parnel1 with
Mrs. O'Shea reminds us that there
have been numerous occasions where
the people of that country, especially
the aristocracy-yes, wen royal aris-
tocracy-have had far greater cause
to be indignant at the violation of all
moral, legal and domestic rights, to
say nothing of the total disregard Of
virtue, than they have ON the present
occasion. Let them go back to the
times of the MERRY Monarch" Henry
VIII, with his six wiyes-three of
whom lost their heads because they in
some way displeased Ellis Royal
Highnesso.-and trace down to the
present Prince of Wales the intrigues,
moral corruption and violation of
virture by the different reigning
sovereign, and royal households of
England, which have been passed
over as merely royal eccentricities,
without even a show of Indignation,
which they now display SO ~profusely

uldhC
| representa- g.
| into a discussion with Secretary
| Smalley, of the Democratic state COM
mittee, on the mixed question of grain
inspection, grading, Shipping, etc.
Mr.. Smalley held the opinion that
the present system of grades should
be abolished, and that all the grain
shouldbe bought on sample. He also
| thought that every railroad should be
compelled to erect elevators at every
station, and that such elevators be
considered as part and parcel of it's
shipping and transportation facilities,
open for the use of every farmer. BY
this means, he held, a farmer could
market his grain, when he chose and
not be at the mercy of certain grain
| dealers.
Gen. Barrett did not agree with MI.
Smalley on the abolition of the grades,
were necessary for the purpose of de-
| scription where the seller and buyer
were far apart. He was also of the
| opinion that the farmers had it in
their power at the present time to
seud their grain to any of the existing
markets they pleased by working on
cooperative plan. What he advocat-
ed was a mileage rate for grain, just
as for passengers. The present grain
markets, he said, were arbitrary mark
cts and were wanted in the interests
of the farmers as local markets,
where buyers could buy from sam
pie and then ship according to grades.
He contended that at the present
the average farmer could not ship by
lake route, and to give him an oppor-
tunity to do SO he favored the build
ing of a large storage elevator by the
state, say at Duluth, where fafmars'
grain could be held and shipped by
the ship load at the loves t avail
able rate to any market desired.
Both gentlemen appeared to have
given the question much study from
their own standpoint, and they were
agreed that some Legislation was re-
CURED to solve some ofthe difficulties
each held To exist.

900 more than Georgia, 237 900 more
than Iowa, and 3OS,OO0 more than
Indiana.
And it must be remembered that
this great gain in population has been
made without any real organized eff
fort on the part of our people.
In nearly all of the other western,
as well as the southern states there
are immigration bureaus and different
kinds of organizations established for
the purpose of encouraging immigra-
ton to the respective states. There
is not a week that passes without our
receiving advertising circulars setting
forth the advantages, resources, etc.,
of the different states in the north
western, western and southern por-
tions of the Union. In fact Mime
sofa is about the only exception to the
rule.
In this connection we are pleased
to note the fact that the st. Paul
chamber of commerce recently adop-
ted a resolution looking to a system
attic and persistent effort ON the part
of that body toward filing up our
western counties with a good class of
settlers.
This movement should receive the
encouragement and assistance of the
people of the various counties, and
by the united effort of the cities and
the country great good may be ac-
complished and the increase in the
population of our state for the next
ten years made double of that during
the last decade.
The resolution above referred to
was presented by Mr.. Hodgson. In
his remarks he said:
For nearly five years we have done
nothing to call the attention of the
world to the remarkable resources,
natural advantages and productive
capacity of or state. We have been
almost criminally negligent in this
matter. There is scarcely a state in
the Union, all things considered, that
offers such splendid opportunities to
the industrious and intelligent home
seeker as Minnesota.
"The sun shines upon no better soil
in all his rounds, The distribution of
wood, water and upland is unsur=
passed. We have an immense lumber
region of the best pine, innumerable
streams to float the logs to the mills.
We have a very large number of
magnificent water powers. We have
stone quarries without end, containing
almost every variety of stone, while
our mineral resources are absolutely
inexhaustible. A very large portion
of these natural advantages are not
utilized.
Besides all this we have two great
water highways stretching from the
interior of the state to the seaboard,
which will always secure to us mini
mum freight rates. 1t is true our
progress has been great, but we could
make it much gerater by well directed
effort. The late census report shows
that Minnesota has a population
substantially equal to the total kc2u-
lation of North Dakota, South Laho
ia, Montana, Oregon and Washingta,n

The growth of the state of Wash
ington, according to the recent
census, has been phenomenal, the
population in 1890 being nearly five
times that of 1880. As shown by the
state census taken in 1885 this growth
has been almost entirely during the
last five years of the decade. The in
ducements which have attracted set
tiers are in the main its fertile soil and
ample rainfall, which enable farming
to be carried on without irrigation

Minnesota?
In another article in .to-day's TRr-.
BUNE, under the head Minnesota AS
It LIS, we urge upon our people the
necessityo OF adopting some means to
induce immigration to our state. We
state in the article that nearly all of
the northwestern and southwestern
states are making great efforts to set
tie up those states. Especially is this
true of North Carolina. We have re-
ceived weekly letters from our CORES
pondent at Raleigh, N. G., during the
past year or more, setting forth the
advantages and desirability of that
state for those who wish to better
their condition. The people of that
state are fully alive to the fact that
in order to secure immigration to that
locality it is necessary to have immigra-
ton bureaus and to encourage people
to settle there, and they have taken
hold of this work in earnest. AS an
evidence of this fact we note the hold
ing an immigration convention at
Asheville, that state, last week. The
committee on legislation made the
following report, which was adopted:
We recognize the necessity of unity
of action by the Southern states here
represented, and that it can best be
accomplished by a concerted system
of legislation; therefore, you are re-
quested to provide by law for the ap-
pointment and maintenance of a com
missioner of immigration, whose duty
it shall be to form a board of South
ern immigration to cooperate with
the Southern immigration bureau in
promulgating the cause of Southern
immigration and upbuilding III COM
mon South land; that the executive
committee present to the Legislature
suitable bills to carry this recomenda-
ton into effect and urge the passage
of such,a measure; that the general
manager aided by the executive com
mittee, be rogue sted to draft a consti-
tuition and bylaws for the perm anent
government of this body and report
at the next convention. That the gen
eral manager and committee issue a
periodical as the general official organ
of the bureau, to be under their con-
troll, character and expendiency of
the same and the frequency of publ
cation be discretionary with said man
ager and committee.
It would be WE'LL if Minnesota would
pattern after NorthG Carolina and adopt
some uchplan as above to induce
immigration to this state. 1t is high
time that the people Minnesota awake
from their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep and
bestir themselves. There is no better
state in the Union than Minnesota;
and all there is needed to effect a rap
i'd settling up of the state is a united
effort on the part of the cities and
country in making known to the out
side world the advantages we possess.
